Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket in any way, shape, or form. But I'm sure you knew that already, didn't you? If I did, why would I be writing a fanfiction about it? So why do we have to do this disclaimer thing anyway? You know I don't own it.
Chapter 1: Tohru
Friday, September 4
Tohru woke to the sound of her alarm clock. It read 6:30 a.m. 'Time to get up,' she decided, 'I don't want to be late for work.'
Tohru got up and got dressed into her work uniform and then quickly grabbed herself a bowl of cereal. She didn't have enough time to actually cook breakfast anymore, like she used to when she was living at the Sohma's house. Plus she didn't really have the motivation to cook anyways. All's she had time for anymore was work. Work, work, work. 'Isn't there anything else to life besides work?' Tohru wondered sadly.
"No," she said (to herself), "I can't let myself get depressed! I have had a better life than most can even ask for. I had a mother that loved me, I have the two best friends in the world, Grandpa is so kind to me, I got to stay with the Sohmas for most of high school and I got to learn so much about them. I have so much to be thankful for."
Even still, Tohru couldn't help but look back on the days she spent in the Sohma house rather wistfully. She had to admit, she really did miss it, all of it: making dinner for them, all the trips to the different summer houses, gardening with Yuki, sitting on the roof with Kyo…even Kyo's and Yuki's constant fighting was something that she missed now. At least with their fighting it had made the house seem loud and alive; the apartment she had now was empty and quiet and…lonely.
Sighing, Tohru headed into her tiny bathroom and proceeded to brush her hair and teeth. 'What happened?' Tohru thought, 'When did we grow distant? Why have we grown apart?'
But Tohru already knew the answers to her own questions. It was quite simple actually. They had grown-up. They'd moved on with their lives. That phase of their life was over. Unfortunately, growing up had meant going their separate ways. There just wasn't enough room or time for each other in their new lives.
Rinsing out her mouth, Tohru grabbed her purse. She hadn't put on any make-up or done her hair in any special way. 'Why bother?' she thought, 'It's not like I'm trying to impress anyone anyways.'
And with that, Tohru headed out the door and off to work, her thoughts still back in happier times.
So? What'd ya think? Was it good? Poor Tohru. She's so depressed, but don't worry! She's not gonna be like that for long! Next chapter's from Kyo's POV. R&R Plz!!
