Disclaimers: I do not own Fruits Basket, or any of its wonderful
characters. Neither do I own da Matrix, or any part of it.
Author's Notes: This is my first attempt at a Fruits Basket fanfic. *^^* I was supposed to start wit my friends, but I couldn't wait. ^_^ A few notes before I start. this fanfic is based on an awesome movie, da Matrix! It follows da storyline of da movie, with changes, so I thot it may be booring. but it could turn out well. I'm thinking of going in a KxT direction, but it might change. O.o;; Please R&R! I'm aiming for 5 reviews, then maybe starting another chapter. Anyways, enjoy~ *^^*
Silence filled the room. Papers, disks, and books littered the cramped space, with many computers littering the corners. A worn out mahogany desk proudly took its place against a wall littered with graffiti. By its side, a young boy slept soundly, his head tucked between his arms, wearing cargo pants and a black t-shirt. His charismatic orange hair reflected off the computer screen, which had been turned off by its owner a split second before the tired youth had drifted off into dreamland. All was peaceful in the room, until.
"Beep. beep. beep."
A sudden beeping noise aroused the sleeping boy. Eyes downcast, he quickly wiped traces of drool that had been made down his chin. Wondering what had made the sound, he looked up into his computer. It had been turned on.
Crimson eyes darted here and there around the room, seeing if anyone had invaded his apartment. He saw no one, and relaxed once again. He propped himself into a comfortable position, and tried to resume sleeping, but a sudden movement caught his attention.
His computer displayed a message.
"Wake up, Kyou. Wake up." it read, in bright green letters.
Crimson eyes widened in surprise and orange hair bristled. Shaken, Kyou continued to gaze into the screen. "Do you know what the Matrix is, Kyou.?" displayed the computer.
Kyou gulped. The Matrix? It was one thing that he had tried to find out all his life. This person, if it was one, held the answers to his lifelong pursuit. Overcome by desire to know, he stared into the screen and waited.
After a couple of forbidding seconds, the computer flashed yet another message. "follow the north star."
Puzzled, Kyou replied, "What?"
The computer answered. "Ring ring, Kyou."
Then it turned off. Everything was over. Kyou rubbed his eyes over and over, trying to convince himself it was a dream. Then, it came. The sound of his ancient phone.
"Ring ring!" It chimed.
Kyou tried to calm himself. It's okay, just a phonecall. Damn that computer, what's wrong with it? I'll have to get it fixed soon. Thoughts raced through Kyou's mind as he picked up the phone cautiously. "Hello?"
"Ah, Kyou. Its me." A familiar voice answered.
Kyou sighed a sigh of relief. "Oh. Tomo, It's you."
"What's wrong with you man? You sound all shaken up." Tomo replied.
"Nothing. My computer, just." Kyou started. "Never mind. So, why are you calling?"
"To remind you about our meeting tonight. Hearing your voice, I think we should change the place. How about. the North Star? You know where that is, right?"
North star? Déjà vu? Then it clicked. "Alright. I'll be right there. Don't forget the money, Tomo," Kyou replied dangerously.
"Don't worry. You remember YOUR end of the deal." Tomo barked back.
Kyou hung up without another thought. Baka Tomo, he thought. Doesn't matter anyway, he reminded himself, after this deal, I won't see his dirty, cheating face anymore, ever.
Kyou pulled on a turquoise sweater, grabbing a compact disc from his worn desk. He marched out of his apartment, checking to see that it was locked. As he headed out into the dark night, he shook his head in doubt. No. It couldn't be real. It was just a dream. But he felt his heart hope that someone was actually waiting there, with the answers.
No. Don't. It wasn't real.
But he hoped it was.
Ok ok, corny prologue, I know. -.-;; the north star part was pretty stupid, but I thought it would be better than doing EXACTLY what da movie had. lol. Please r&r!
