Gakuen Alice meets Fruits Basket
Chapter 1 - the meeting
Mikan's POV
I grinned and giggled. Even though Natusme's biting words just now should've upset me, I couldn't help myself. For some reason, even arguing with Natsume made me happy – sort of.
"Baka, why are you giggling over there?" Natsume asked gruffly.
I turned to realize Natsume had dropped his manga and was now looking at me from the other side of the sakura tree. I just giggled again and shook my head. "I don't know." I murmured.
I turned my gaze upwards to look at the Sakura tree above us. It was in full bloom and gorgeous. I felt honored to be named after it.
Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind blew at us and the tree. It sent blossoms flying about us. Something unexpected happened then. The blossoms began to form a circle around us and the Sakura tree. They swirled madly around the tree, just getting faster and faster.
My breathing sped up with nervousness. Something was going on here. I slid over closer to Natsume and looked over at him. I could tell that, even though he didn't quite show it, he was just as startled by this behavior as I was.
Then I was knocked down roughly by a sudden force, and I saw no more.
Tohru's POV
"Supper's ready!" I called cheerfully.
"AUGH—stupid rat! I got here first!"
"No, I did, idiot."
"No way!"
"Yes way."
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!"
I sweat dropped as I listened to the usual argument before dinner. Actually, no, arguments were usual at any time in the Sohma house.
"Kyo, Yuki…" I began, trying to soothe them. I heard a bang and a crash. I winced. Shigure-san's not going to be happy if they broke his door again…
Thump thump thump CRASH!!!
"FREAKING OUCH! Dangit you're DEAD, rat!!!" I heard Kyo scream.
I rushed over to the steps where Kyo lay, apparently having just been pushed off the stairs.
"Guys, please stop…" I pleaded.
Kyo just sighed and got up. "Fine. But I'll get you back, stupid rat! Hear that?!"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm so scared." Yuki muttered sarcastically as he came down the stairs.
When we came back into the kitchen, Shigure was there already, eating.
"Oh! Tohru, I hope you don't mind I served myself." Shigure said when he saw us come in.
"Oh, no, I don't mind at all." I replied. And with that, we all finally sat down to eat.
Just as I was about to take my first bite, a loud crash jolted us and something came falling from the ceiling.
I screamed with shock and Kyo fell out of his seat. It took me a moment to get out of shock, but when I did, I saw what had landed on our table.
There were two elementary kids on the table, groaning with pain. One was a very handsome black haired boy, and the other was a cute girl in pigtails.
The pigtailed girl opened her eyes and looked about her. She blinked her expressive brown eyes a few times. "What. . ." she murmured, trailing off, for she was clearly confused and in major shock. After a moment she finally took in Shigure, Yuki, Kyo, and me all staring at her. She gasped.
"Eep! Who are you people?! Where am I?!" she shrieked.
"Who are you is the question!" Kyo growled. "You just freaking broke our table!"
The girl blinked and looked under her. She bit her lip when she noticed the broken shards around her. "Er…sorry about that…" she muttered, still confused about what the heck was happening.
I suddenly realized the girl must be scared half to death. She didn't know us! And she looked like she hadn't expected to come here at all. I felt a pang of sorrow for the young girl and decided to be as friendly as possible to her.
"Ah—don't worry about that. I'm Tohru. It's very nice to meet you." I began, bowing.
The girl looked at me. "Oh. . . I'm Mikan. Nice to meet you too!" she smiled at me, and I returned it.
"Er, can you get off our table please? I think my good chopsticks are still under there…" Shigure began.
"Oh—sorry!" she squeaked, and climbed ungracefully off the broken talbe.
The boy that had come with the girl stirred and lifted his head. He tooka good look around him.
"Natsume!" Mikan exclaimed. "Good, you're awake."
Natsume turned to look at her. "Where the heck are we?" he asked bluntly.
"The Sohma house hold." Shigure replied calmly, answering Natsume's question. "I'm Shigure Sohma." He stood and bowed.
Natusme just stared blankly at him then looked away. He happened to turn his gaze onto me.
I instantly felt unsettled. His eyes were a bright, unusual crimson and they seemed like they had a blazing fire inside of them that could burn through anything…yet they were so cold and penetrating all the same. Even though I felt unsettled, I still held out my hand to help him out of the rubble.
"Here, I'll help—," I began, but his next move startled me. He slapped my hand away and leaped out of the broken table shards himself. "I don't need any help."
I was about to apologize when I heard Kyo growl. "You little punk! She was just trying to help you!" he yelled.
Natsume swiveled to glare daggers at Kyo. "I don't need help."
"Well you didn't have to slap her hand away like that!"
"I don't freaking care."
"Why you little--I'll kill you!!"
"I'd like to see you try."
That did it for Kyo. He launched himself at the boy. I shut my eyes – I knew it wasn't going to end well. I heard a crash and opened my eyes to see what had happened. I gasped with shock when I saw that Natsume had dodged Kyo's blow.
Kyo cursed a storm and turned around, twice as furious. "What the crap!"
He launched another blow at Natsume, but he just dodged it again swiftly. "Is that the best you've got?" he challenged coldly.
Kyo cussed again (I wished he wouldn't!) and threw yet another well aimed blow at Natsume's face. This time Natsume caught it with his hand. Natsume almost smirked. "Don't make me laugh." He muttered and kicked Kyo into the wall.
I stared at Natsume with my mouth agape. Did he just beat Kyo?! Effortlessly?!
I saw that Yuki's expression was the same as mine. Shigure, however, seemed to be getting a kick out of it. "Haha, bravo! I didn't know you had that in you!" he exclaimed, clapping.
"Trained nothing." I heard Natsume snort.
Mikan's expression was a mixed combination of embarrassed and slightly frustrated. I even thought I saw some relief in there, but I had no idea why.
"Natsume, why did you do that to Tohru?! She was just trying to help you, you know," she scolded.
"Just shut up, okay, Polka Dots? I need to think," he snapped. Mikan pouted when he said this, but turned to look at me. She was about to say something when her stomach growled loudly. She giggled.
"Oh—Mikan! Why don't you share lunch with us?" Shigure suggested. "I wouldn't mind."
Mikan hesitated for a moment. Yuki sighed. "You might as well, since you're here. We can discuss how…you got here while we're doing that," he said quietly, speaking for the first time since they had crashed through the ceiling.
Mikan sighed and nodded. "Okay. But we can't stay for long," she told us, but she was obviously happy to be getting something to eat.
"Don't worry about it. I'll move the food outside, since we can't eat in here." I said, moving over to the fridge where I had, thankfully, put the extra food. I didn't think anyone would want to eat the food that had been on the table. I smiled at Mikan. "I'm sure we're going to be great friends."
