I do not own fruit baskets or its characters. The only thing I own is my OC.
Chapter 1
"Ai Minagawa! Are you coming?" Motoko yelled at me.
"I'm not finished getting ready! And why are you going to school so early? It's only 7 and school doesn't start for another hour!" I yelled back.
"My beloved Yuki is at school at 7 everyday for student council meeting! It is my duty as Motoko Minagawa the president of the Prince Yuki Fan Club to preserve the life and safety of Yuki from mean…"
"I get it! I worry 'bout you sometimes. Just go to school without me, I'll catch up later." I said interrupting her so I don't have to hear about Yuki all morning.
I almost forgot to introduce myself. Anyways I am Ai Minagawa sadly related to the ever so dreadful, and obsessive Motoko Minagawa. I have moved back to Tokyo from Hokkaido. So far it's been horrible. Each night my aunt and cousin fighting over the obsession that Motoko has of Yuki Sohma. I hated summer and for once in my life glad school is starting up today. I start at Kaibara high today and so far the only thing I like is the uniform.
"Auntie I'm leaving!"
"Okay. Be careful and did you pack your bento?" Auntie yelled back.
"Yeah. I did. Thanks for the concern." I said as I left out the door.
The walk to school was pretty. Even though I am not used to the city it's still nice. And I can see the high school from Motoko's house as well. All summer I've been scared of the place because where I come from there are only about 50 kids that go to my school and I know them all. But I guess it isn't so bad. "Hello?" I heard a light voice from behind me.
I turned around to see a boy with girlish features. He had grey hair and piercing purple eyes.
"Hi? Who are you?" I asked back.
"Oh. I'm Yuki Sohma. And I'm guessing you are Ai Minagawa." He said back with a soft smile.
"Um… Yeah, I am." I said confused wondering how he knew my name.
"Well I'm here to show you around and guide you to class. I was told we have the same class, so it would be easy for you to get to know the school."
"Okay." That was all I could get out before he could start speaking again.
"By any chance are you related to Ms. Minagawa?" He asked.
"Yeah, I am. She's my cousin. I came to live with her so I can go to the college here once I graduate." I said feeling awkward that I was telling him this.
"That's nice." He said.
We fell into silence after that. He showed me to my locker and to the lunch room. We then walked into the classroom. There I saw an orange haired kid yelling at a girl with blonde hair and looked like someone from a gang. In the background a girl with long, black hair holding cards and sitting next to her a girl with long, brown hair that looked like she was having the time of her life.
"Oh, Yuki your back!" The brown haired girl said as she looked up at Yuki.
"Yes, Ms. Honda, I just went to run an errand." He said smiling sweetly at her.
"Oh! I get it now. You were sent to come and get me. Sorry I'm slow."
Just then the teacher walked in looking bored as ever wearing blue sweats. "Okay everyone take your seats. We have a new student. Her name is Ai Miniagawa."
"Um… Hi." I said.
"Ms. Miniagawa you can take the seat in the back by Ms. Hanajima."
I walked over to sit next to her. She looked at me with electric eyes as I sat. The lesson seemed to go on, and on, and on. It also seems that Hokkaido is two years ahead in school too. Next thing I know I see a letter on my desk. I open it to find the most beautiful hand writing.
'I get strange vibes from you. Who are you?'
I look over to Hanajima and look back at the note. I write back. 'I don't understand what you mean?'
I threw it back to Hanajima who opened it and just began writing; she didn't even look at the note. Then she threw it back. 'Ha of course you don't.'
I quickly wrote back. Knowing confusion and curiosity where getting the better of me. 'What do you mean by I wouldn't know? Hanajima what's going on?'
She wrote back in her amazing hand writing swiftly and passed it back. 'The electric signals are strong with you. I cannot say what it is, but I'm sure that time will reveal itself to you and hopefully to me as well.'
I got this vibe from her that I shouldn't pass back the note, but the conversation never left my mind. Before I knew it lunch time had arrived and I found myself starving. Again I was following Yuki to where he sits.
"Everyone this is Ai Minigawa. Please be nice to her." Yuki said introducing me.
I sat down and the girl with the long, brown hair sat next to me and said, "Hi! I'm Tohru Honda!" She then pointed to the kid with the orange hair, "That's Kyo. He is Yuki cousins, and she," she pointed to the blonde one, "is Arisa Uotani."
"Well I can tell that this is a pretty interesting group."
"Ha! You got that right. Orange top here thinks he is the life of the party though." Arisa said as she pointed to Kyo.
Kyo fumed with anger and shouted, "Want to say that again to my face!"
"Yeah, I do!" Arisa yelled back as they started fighting.
"Do they always do this?" I asked Tohru while watching them.
"Yeah, almost every day, but I think that's how they get along," She said taking a sip of her tea.
"By the way Ms. Miniagwa I think that it would be nice to have you around too," Yuki said look straight past me at Tohru.
"Yay! That would be amazing!" Tohru clapped in delight.
Just then things for me started to click. Yuki has a thing for Tohru and I have a feeling that he only said that to make her happy. I really don't care because have 5 new friends on the first day is a record for me. And I think I can really get along and rely on this group. I don't know why, but it's just a gut feeling.
. . . . . . . . .
"Why where you hang out with Prince Yuki and the witch Tohru Honda?" Motoko yelled at me when I stepped through the door.
I just drowned her out as I went upstairs to wash up for dinner. Today has been a long day and I will admit it was fun. But still the note Hanajima sent me send chills down my spine. What does she mean by who am I? Am I not who I think I am? What's going on?
A/N : I know it's a little short but I kinda got writers block half way through. Chapter 2 defiantly will be longer. I hope you enjoy my fanfic.
