Forever Yours Chapter 1 by: ue de korosu
Hey! Thanks for reading my first fan fiction after so long! This Fruits Basket fan fiction is

Forever Yours
Chapter 1: Blind to a Reunion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Man, I need to find an apartment real soon." said a long brown haired and brown eyed girl
named Honda Tohru. Tohru was driving around town since the new college semester was
beginning. After he mother passed away in May when she was fifteen, she had been relying
on her grandfather, but paying for her own high school tuitions, since it was her mother's
dream for her to finish high school, since she herself was not able to attend it. Now that she
had accomplished that, she wants to go even farther, to finishing college! But since she
already bothered her grandfather during high school she plans to be all by herself in college.
If, she could find an apartment to start with.
At the stop light, she looked to her left to look down at a piece of paper that had a list of all
the available in suburban Tokyo, and city Tokyo. So far no luck. She had two choices left, but
one of them was wayyyy too expensive. So she really only had one choice. And it was only
a 10 minute drive away from Tokyo University, which she had already gotten accepted at,
all she needed was an apartment. And since college applicants were a lot nowadays, all the
dorms were already out.
She stops in front of charming suburban one floor yet expansive apartment building. 'Oh, it's
very cute! I hope they have a nice room and a good deal..' She walked inside and was greeted
by a middle aged woman.
"Hi, welcome to the Miryoku Apartments! May I help you?" The woman asked. She was atleast
30, but was still yet beautiful with a small frame, and long black hair.
"Hai, I'm looking for an apartment to use for colle--" Tohru started.
"Ahhh! A college student looking for her own out in the world is it?" The cherry woman said.
"My name is Mikoru Aiyora." She said holding out her hand to shake hands.
"Ah, hai, my name is Honda Tohru!" Tohru stated. and shook hands with Aiyora. "So do you
have any rooms suitable for me?" Tohru said. 'This could be my new home, and with such a
nice apartment super, I don't think this will be any harder.'
"Well, I bet you saw our ad in the newspaper right, dear?" Aiyora looked down. Tohru nodded.
"Well actually we are full, gomen ne." Tohru looked away.
"I see, I'll just look somewhere else then, thank you for help--" Tohru called and started to
walk away.
"We do have a room that's.. somewhat.. available though!" Aiyora called after her. "It's actually
kind of weird though, but I don't think you would mind." Aiyora guestured for her to follow.
Tohru's eyes brightened up. 'Hai! Maybe I can live here after all! How lucky can I be? Mother,
your watching after me aren't you?' "Hai!"
Aiyora led her to the front desk and started typing some things on the computer. "We have
one room available, currently with no one living in it. According to their.. parents.. it seems
that there are two boys that will live there for their college too, if they find a 3rd roommate."
Aiyora informed her. "Do you think you want this? It's not that much, the monthy bill is 2,900
Dollars, (AN: Sorry, I'm not that familiar with Japanese currency, so i'm just using US money!)
But, it's split, so it's only 1/3 for you each."
'Ahhh this is better than I thought! I already have room mates to live with, and I have a
very resonable payment, with this charming, cute little apartment building!' Tohru thought to
herself. "I'll take it!"
Aiyora smiled. "Alright then, you have yourself an apartment! I'll notify your new roommates
right now to see if they're alright with it." Aiyora picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Yes, Souma residence? Yes, I would like to annouce that your apartment is available to
rent since someone has signed up for it. Yes, I understand. Yes. Yes. No. Yes. Okay, tomorrow
then, Ja ne." Aiyora smiled. "You can move in by tomorrow, your rommates as well."
Tohru smiled brightly. 'Mother! I have a new home now! And I can fufill your wish even greater!'

"Ueeee.. grandafther, I'm not totally going yet, I'm coming back for the rest of my things!"
Tohru said while being hugged by her grandfather. (AN: Remember her grandfather always
calls Tohru, Kyoko-san, her mother.)
"Don't forget me right, Kyoko-san?" Grandfather fussed.
"Oh, of course I won't, and it's Tohru!" Tohru agreed. "You won't have any trouble I promise!"
"Oh alright, good luck Kyoko-san!" Grandfather waved her by. "Don't forget to say hi for me
to Tohru-san!" Grandfather said.
"Oyyyy. *sweatdrop*" Tohru got into her car and drove away. 'Oh, I'll miss you grandfather,
thank you for taking care of me!' Tohru parked in front of her new home, which was soon
going to be filled with her belongings. 'I hope my new room mates aren't so bad. Or cruel,
or weird, or smelly, or perverted people!' *cries* 'Uyyyyy I worry too much!' She walked
down the hall of the apartment rooms, looking for hers, room 716. '710...711...712...713,'
she said to herself as she went down. Light arguing could be heard up ahead, coming from
an open door. '714..715..' She stopped.
"OY! It wasn't my fault that the lamp was on the floor! Mattaku nezumi!" A young man's voice
yelled. "Yes it is, we're unpacking baka neko." Another young man's voice was heard.
"E-ey! Stop being a smart ass!" It was the first voice. "Still, your the one that's not smart."
The second voice.
"Uh.. Konnichi wa!" Tohru said, sticking her head in the door. When she looked she saw a
startled and in fighting stanced orange-haired guy wearing a black shirt and pants, and a
purple haired guy looking sharply dressed. Both atleast her age. 'Uh oh, both are boys! I
thought they would be girls!'
"Uh, Konnichi wa... who are you?" said the purple haired boy or the 'Rat'. What the 'Rat' and
orange haired boy saw was a cute girl with long brown hair pinned to the side with ribbons.
'Doesn't she.. look.. familiar?'
"Uh.. This.. is.. room 716 right?" Tohru asked. Both of the guys nodded. "Then I am your
new roommate!" Tohru said happily. "Hi, my name is Honda Tohru!" 'Oh well, boys or not,
I need to live somewhere! It'll be alright!'
"Oh no, baka neko." The 'Rat' called the Orange hair guy or the 'Cat' to a small meeting.
Whispering, "Baka Neko, I didn't know we were going to have a girl as a roommate." Both
look over their shoulders to see Tohru surprised and confused. Both give a small smile.
"I dont care, mattaku nezumi, we need ths apartment, girl or no girl!" the 'Cat' whispered.
"Hai, we do need this, we tried hard enough to get away from the Souma housing. So as
long as we don't hug right?" said the 'Rat'. They both approached her. "Konnichiwa, my
name is Souma Yuki, and this is Souma Kyou." Yuki introduced and held out his hand to
shake hers.
"Hai, nice to meet you!" Tohru said with a smile.
"Likewise." Kyou said.
"May I start unpacking too?" she asked, while looking behind her with all the stuff she
brought. Most of it was sleeping stuff so she was already ready, and would bring the rest
of her stuff tomorrow.
"Um, whatever you want!" Yuki said. He said, and continued with his unpacking as well,
as did Kyou.
*humming* "La la la la la.." She said as she brought everything in. So she stood and took
in her surroundings. It was rather big for an apartment, but small enough so it didn't take
up much space. Straight foward was space for a living room. and to her right was a kitchen,
all ready to be stocked with food. and in the center right, between the kitchen and living
room, was a hall which led to the other rooms.
"Um, which is my room?" She just remember, most of her things where for sleeping, and
she needed to know which was her room to even begin unpacking.
"Oh you can have the one that's closer to the kitchen." Yuki pointed down to the hall.
"Okay, arigatou!" Tohru said and picked up all her stuff after she took out a shiny yet
recognisable picture frame. *humming* "La la la la.." She was singing, and flashed a bit
of the picture to Yuki and Kyou. "Look Mother! It's our new home!"
Yuki and Kyou both gasp. That was the mom's picture of a girl they both knew back 4 years ago.
'It's Tohru!'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

R+R, if I should continue or not, I probably will, but's it's nice to hear!
