A/N: hey where as this is not my first Fruba fanfic, it is my first Kyo based fanfic on this site. Please read and review.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKET OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS SAVE RENA AND A FEW OTHERS!! But the person who owns it is very lucky. Read on my potential fans. Jk. But seriously read.
Chapter OneRena was a seventeen-year-old girl who was about to begin her very first day at a certain high school. Unfortunately, she was lost at that point. So, she sat down on a curb. She knew she could call her legal guardian but she had left in a huff this morning and like most people, she didn't want to admit she was lost and miffed.
"Oh my! Rena, is that you?" A voice called out to her.
She looked up and saw a girl with long brown hair with yellow ribbons in it, and big brown eyes. Rena instantly recognized her, just not the two behind her.
"Tohru, you haven't changed one bit. Come here and give me a hug." She said brightly.
Tohru trotted over to her and hugged Rena. Rena wrapped her arms around the smaller girl. Suddenly, Rena twisted her torso to put Tohru, on her feet, behind her and turned back to the boys in front of her while dropping into a fighting position.
"Who are you?" Rena growled, literally, at the two boys.
The boys looked shocked as Tohru fluttered by Rena's elbow, looking exasperated.
"Rena, stop. They're my friends. They're not going to do any harm to me. I promise." She rushed.
Rena looked between Tohru and the two boys for a second before she dropped back into a more relaxed stance. "Who are they?" She asked quietly.
"Well, this is Yuki Sohma," Tohru said, pausing to let her friend study the gentler Sohma. Rena, of course, was studying him.
Yuki Sohma was almost exactly her height but, of course, Rena was tall for a girl. He had short purplish-gray hair and lightly tinted purplish-gray eyes that matched his hair. He bowed in greeting to her, which she returned with a slight nod.
"And this is Kyo Sohma." Tohru said, pausing again.
Rena was surprised really. His name seemed familiar. He was an inch or two taller then her. His hair was orange and his eyes were red. He was slightly captivating and he, himself, seemed captivated.
Tohru stepped back to Rena's side. "Guys, this is one of my first friends, Rena." She told them. "So, Rena, are you still at the orphanage?" Tohru asked turning back to Rena.
"No, a man came and adopted me but I didn't take his last name. It was amazing. He gave me a choice. He told me I could take his last name or I could keep mine. So, I kept mine," Rena said, her whole façade changing to show she was actually really happy, then it snapped back into place. "But we got into a fight this morning because he wanted me to ride with him. I didn't want to get dropped off in the family car, so I left and am lost now."
"So, where are you going?" Kyo asked. Rena looked at him, blinked, and sneered.
"School, baka. To be specific, her school." Rena said, thumbing her hand at Tohru. Then, she turned to look at Tohru and added, "He seems like one of those types who are fun to piss off." She was indicating Kyo, who was fuming.
"Well Ms. Rena, we should hurry or we'll be late for class." Yuki said smiling at her.
"Alright. Let's go." Rena said twining her arm through Tohru's arm on the side so that Tohru was in between her and the boys.
(Five minutes later)
"WOLFE! What are you doing here?" Someone yelled, charging at Rena.
Rena ran at the charging figure. When the two got within punching distance of each other, they clocked the other in the cheek with a right hook.
"Damn, Wolfe. You still got a mean right hook." Uo smiled rubbing her cheek.
"Really? Cause you're losing your touch, Uo." Rena smirked not touching the red spot on her face.
"Say what, now?" Uo said with a background of flames.
"Just kidding. So, I heard you quit the gang?" Rena asked.
"Yeah, but how the hell did you know? You've been gone for years." Uo pointed out.
"I have my ways, Uo. I wonder if they're still miffed at me for leaving." Rena wondered out loud.
"Well. Judging how they're glaring at you, I'd say yes." Uo stated pointing at the group behind Rena.
Rena turned, looked, and flipped Uo's old gang the bird before turning back.
Then, a person was hanging off of Rena's neck. "I thought I felt your waves mixing with the others." Hanajima said.
"Yeah. I'm back for the moment being. I'm not sure how long I'll be around for this time, but I missed you, too," Rena said hugging Hanajima back. "Okay, now. You five need to get to class. I have to go to the office. I'll see you later." She walked off towards the main office.
When Rena reached the office, she was already tired. The secretary was busy talking to her friend on the phone about what her boyfriend had done. So, Rena ended up standing there for five minutes before the principal noticed her.
"Are you Ms. Rena Wolfe?" He asked, glaring at the secretary, who knew she was in trouble.
"Yes. That's me." Rena sighed.
"Good. We ran a check through our systems and there are only two students who have the same schedule as you. Yuki Sohma and Kyo Sohma. Now, unfortunately, Yuki Sohma is busy with student council stuff. So, Kyo will be the one showing you around today." The principle explained, right as the door opened and Kyo walked in.
"Hey Kyon-Kyon." Rena stated softly as she eyed her schedule.
"Don't call me that." Kyo bristled.
"Fine, Kyo. Just show me to class." Rena told him.
He 'hmph'ed, and lead the way. Rena followed him quietly. She made so little sound, that Kyo kept glancing at her to make sure she was still there. Where as, Rena was amazingly aware of how close he was. She slid a full body length away from him. He looked surprised.
"Sorry. I'm just… Self-conscious around guys. I don't like them standing right next to me." Rena lied quickly.
"Okay. Don't take this the wrong way but are you a lesbian?" Kyo asked seriously.
Rena stopped and stared at him for a minute before saying calmly, "Hell no! I like guys too much to be a lesbian. I just have a trust issue with them and I don't like to be touched right off the bat. Actually, I don't really like to be touched ever."
They were both quiet for a couple of minutes. "We'd better get to class." Rena whispered. Kyo nodded and started walking forward again.
"So, how long have you been friends with Tohru?" Kyo asked softly.
"Oh. Somewhere around ten or twelve years." Rena answered.
"Wow." Kyo whistled impressed.
"Yeah. Anyhow. You've been watching over her for sometime now, huh?" She asked looking out the window as she walked.
"Yeah but how did-" Kyo started.
"I have my ways. How has she been since her mother died?" Rena interrupted him.
"Good, I guess. I wasn't around when she first moved in with Yuki and the pervert, but between when I first met her and now, she seems a lot better. She doesn't cling to that picture of her mom anymore. Though, today is the happiest I've seen her in a long time. Ever, in fact." Kyo explained.
"Hmm. Really? Did anything different happen today?" Rena asked, totally oblivious.
"Yeah. She got to see you. Tohru really holds all of her friends dear to her. I'm taking it you just left and didn't say good bye?" Kyo questioned.
"Not quite. I ran away from the orphanage and I didn't have time to tell her good bye. The orphanage wasn't a very well off one and they treated us badly. While I was running away and around the country, I met the man who became my guardian. He went and met with the orphanage to adopt me. That is the majority of my story." Rena answered.
"Oh. Well, here's the classroom. Here," Kyo said holding the door open for her.
Rena nodded and walked into the room to the teacher's desk. She watched Kyo walk to his desk.
"Hey, it's our new student," The teacher said turning to Rena. "Why don't you introduce yourself to the class?"
Rena looked back at Kyo and saw him smirking. 'I hate doing this.' She thought as she took a breath to speak. "Hi, my name is Rena Wolfe. I'm obliviously new," Rena stopped looking happy and looked at the teacher. "How was that?"
"Uh. G-good." The teacher stuttered.
"Then, I can sit down, right?" She asked.
"Yes. In the empty desk next to Kyo by the window." The teacher told her.
Rena walked down the aisle between Kyo's and her desk. When she walked past him, she kicked him in the shin.
"YOW! What'd you do that for, you little harpy?" Kyo yelled.
Rena smirked evilly and said in an apologetic voice, "Oh, sorry, Kyo! I guess I tripped."
Kyo having seen the smirk knew she was lying. He glared at her as she finished getting into her desk. He knew it was going to be a long year. Rena realized she was looking forward to it.
(After School)
Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, and Rena were walking out of the school when Rena looked up, saw something, and said, "Damn it! I told him not to pick me up." By the end of her sentence she was growling.
"Who?" Tohru asked.
"My guardian." Rena growled, stomping over to the car.
The other three saw her yell into the car, shake her head, and finally throw her hands up before jogging back to Tohru.
"Hey, something's come up in the family and I got to get. I'll see you tomorrow, Tohru." Rena said hugging Tohru before running back to the car and getting in.
Kyo nudged Yuki and whispered, "Did something look familiar about that car?"
"You noticed, too?" Yuki replied.
"Yeah. I think we need to visit the main house tonight. Aren't you due for a check-up anyway?" Kyo asked.
"Yes. Tori was just harassing me this morning about it. Now, I think, I've had a total change in heart about not going." Yuki retorted with.
"I guess I'll go with you, then," Kyo stated. " I need to talk to Haru about something."
Yuki just nodded.
A/N: So there is chapter one. Yuki and Kyo getting along?! Creepy ain't it? Well, please review and I will get chapter two done up quickly. Later.
