I had finally finished reading all of my favorite manga; Fruits Baskets. My friend Casey and I had become really big fans of it ever since it came out. We had: Kyo T-shirts and jackets, a Momiji rabbit backpack, and a pair of Yuki flip-flops. Out of all the characters Kyo was my favorite though. I know it might sound a little weird to have a crush on a fictional character but hey, I couldn't help it! I was just about to start reading something else when I heard a knock at my door. "Come in," I said. My friend Casey walked in with something in her hands. "Guess what I got!" she shouted. "What?" I asked, even though I already had a pretty good idea what it was. "I got you a Kyo bracelet," she said happily. "Cool. Anyways, since you're spending the night, I was wondering if you wanted to sleep on the roof like in Fruits Baskets. Come on it'll be fun!" I exclaimed. "No way am I going to sleep on the roof! What if we fall?" she whined. "Oh and I haven't finished reading the last chapter in Fruits Baskets yet and I left my book at my house. Can I borrow yours?" "Here," I threw the book at her. I was pretty disappointed Casey didn't want to sleep on the roof. She usually loves to do crazy things like that with me. "Um… Jess. Something weird is happening to your book!" She yelled. I looked over to her and saw a black fog coming out of my book. It seemed to be filling up my room. Suddenly I couldn't see anything so I just screamed. Then all of a sudden I fall out of my bed and land on the floor. But when I look around, I'm not in my room! I'm sitting in front of what looks to be like Yuki and Shigures' home with Casey.
"AHHHH!" we both scream. Shigure comes out to see what's going on. "What happened? Are you two okay?" he asked with concern. I didn't really know what to say. I was in shock, I mean, who wouldn't be? That's when Casey decided to step in and say something. "Um… well… we don't really know what happened we just woke up here. Where are we?" she asked. She obviously knew where we were so I don't know why she's lying. "Oh, well do you know how to get home?" he asked. "No. for some reason I can't remember where my house is," She replied. "What's she up to?" I thought to myself. "Well I guess I could let you two stay here. We've needed a flower around the house. Two flowers would be even better!" suddenly a bag came up from behind him and hit him in the head. Yuki Sohma. "Stop bothering them. I'm sorry did my perverted cousin do anything to you ladies?" he turned to us and asked. "N-No. He didn't do anything to us." I said. "Oh so she talks," joked Shigure. I turned to look at him and managed to say, "Thank you sir, but we couldn't possibly stay here. Besides, you don't even know our names." "Okay well I am Shigure Sohma and this is Yuki Sohma. What are your names?" he questioned. "I am Casey Jones and this is my friend Jessica Smith. But you can call her Jess." She replied. "Great! Now that that's settled, you can live here." exclaimed Shigure. After that Yuki left for school and Shigure let us come in and pulled out two beds for us in a room. I turned to look at Casey and say, "What are you doing? We are going to get caught and then Hitori will erase our minds. Then how will we get out of the manga?" I yelled/whispered. "Calm down. You worry too much! We will be fine. By the way why didn't Tohru come?" said Casey. "Oh, this is bad! Really bad! What if Tohru never meets the Sohmas? We can't fill her shoes. I would ever say anything she usually comes up with to make everyone feel better. What are we going to do?" I shout. "Calm down. We'll just have to catch her tonight at her tent…. Remember?" she points out, as if obvious.
3rd person POV
The day passed by quickly for everyone except Casey and Jess. They had been waiting all day for this moment and now it was here. 1st person POV. They had just finished eating out when they came across Tohru Honda. "Let's follow her," I whisper. As we follow her, Shigure and Yuki notice her crawl into a yellow tent. We wait for her to come out and when she finally does, she's staring all wide-eyed at us. We all walk back home (including Tohru). "HAHAHAHAHAHA," laughs Shigure. "Stop laughing Shigure-san," I say. Even though I said stop laughing it didn't really make him stop. And then Tohru proceeds to tell the story of why she's living in a tent but I'm not really listening. It's not like I don't care it's just… well, I've already heard the story. After telling the story she faints. "I'll let her sleep in my bed," I say. "That would be a good idea," says Yuki. "Why don't we let her live here? We can't just let her live in that tent can we?" exclaimed Casey. "No I suppose not," says Shigure. "So you finally stopped laughing," hissed Yuki. Then Shigure whispers to Yuki and Yuki nods. "I'll go collect her things from the tent," says Yuki. "I'll help," I reply. "No maybe you should just get some rest," whispered Shigure. As Yuki goes to collect Tohrus' stuff, we head off to bed. But I decided to sleep on the roof. That way I'll probably get to meet Kyo tomorrow morning.
Listen, i know the 1st chapter kind of sucks, but please keep reading. Personally, I think the story gets better as it progresses. Please review and keep reading :)
