A/N so this is my very first fanfiction on this page :D im excited to see your guys' feedback! So just as a warning I will not update everyday because I am getting swamped with book reports and tests and homework so I will probably update late at night or because winter break is coming up every other day or everyday im not too sure right now.i don't own the fruits basket theme or anything so no sueing me all I own is my original character Manami Natsumi. So thanks to whoever actually decided to read this! Well the authors note I mean. Hahaha kk ill take the hint ON TO THE STORY :D :D :D (also i know this chapter sucks but its just the intro stay with this and i promise it will get better! sorry!)

'I always thought it was my fault my mother got sick, and my father, worrying about me sent me into the arms of Kyoko and Tohru Honda so he could take care of my mom without worrying about me getting sick. I always blamed myself when my father also got sick and Kyoko refused to let me visit. Everyone was worried about my health, while I was worrying about my parents. They both died an hour apart from each other on April 15. I was so angry at everyone for the longest time and I never wanted to go to school. I was the girl who's parents died. They pitied me but I didn't want to be pitied. I had lived with Tohru and Kyoko for 10 years when Kyoko died on March 1 of a car accident. Another thing I blamed myself for even though Tohru blamed herself more than I blamed myself. Kyoko's death was also another reason I shut myself from the world. I started to even push Tohru away, my best friend because I truly believed I brought death onto everyone I loved and I didn't want Tohru to die too. But that all changed when Tohru and I started living in a tent on the Sohma's property.'

"Manami," Tohru said as we were walking back to our tent. You see we both have part time jobs to pay for school fee's and any other priorities. " Are you okay you look a little faint." Of course typical Tohru she always worried about other people before herself. She was right though I wasn't feeling too good. "Im fine, don't worry." I lied. I don't think Tohru bought it thought because she narrowed her eyes a tiny bit. "ok." She said simply. We walked the rest of the way home in silence because we where both really exhausted. We got to the tent and soon got ready to go to bed. "Goodnight mom!" Tohru said to a picture of Kyoko she had in the tent. "Night Kyoko." i said smiling. I also said goodnight to my parents silently in my head. I quickly turned to face the tent wall when tears started to well up in my eyes. "Good night Manami." Tohru said quietly. "Goodnight." i said drifting off to sleep.
