Disclaimer: Fruits Basket does not belong to me in any way, though I wish Hatori did. Sighs dreamily

Fanfiction Addiction
Chapter 1: The Beginning
" " Akito made his way, slowly toward Tohru, Yuki and Kyo, taking casual strides as if nothing was wrong. Hatori and Shigure sat in ready positions, waiting in case they were needed.
" Miss Honda…" "
" Natalya! Go to bed right now!" Mrs. Sanchez shouted, snapping her eldest daughter out of her own little world.
"Mom! You interrupted me in the middle of a really good story, I was just about to find out why Akito summoned them!" Mrs. Sanchez's daughter, Natalya, shouted down the stairs to her mother.
" So what, I don't care. Just quit reading your basket of fruits,"
" Fruits Basket!"
" About To,"
"That's Akito."
" Or what ever his name is and go to bed."
" But, Mommm."
" No buts. Go. To. Bed. Do you want me to wake your father? 'Cause I will and you know what he will do."
" Fine! I'll go to bed." Natalya lied to her mother, pretending to shut down the computer and turn off the lights. She heard the shuffling of feet, slightly muffled by her closed bedroom door, as her mother made her way back down stairs. Staying in her bed a little bit longer to make sure her mother was gone, she thought about the fanfic she had just read.
Natalya Sanchez was a quite, shy and fairly smart girl, but she had one major flaw, her addiction. Her addiction totally changed her, she was no longer shy or quite, but loud and crazy. Weird and odd you could even say, the way only her family saw her. She lived, breathed, and ate this addiction, it was her life. She would do anything for it. What is this addiction, you ask? Why anime, manga, and most importantly fanfiction, what else?
Anyway, Natalya quietly slipped out of her bed going back over to her computer desk. She turned on her desk lamp dimming it so that, there was just enough light for her to read but not enough to be seen through the crack in her door and continued reading. She finished up that story and went back to the Fruits Basket homepage.
" Hmmm. Lets see. Ooooh this looks good. You Wish …Accidents can be Wonderful." (By Chizz-muffinChik really good story check it out)
Natalya clicked on the tittle and began reading. As she read the story she tried to stifle her hysterical laughter not wanting to wake up her dad and siblings or alert her mom. This story was hilarious the characters were amazingly funny and she wondered if the real life people it was based on were like this. Oh well.
Finishing the chapter she smiled, she couldn't wait until the author updated. A thought struck her just then what if she did what the characters in the story did, just for kicks she would have to improvise a bit since it was only her though.
Getting out of the chair she grabbed seven random manga off her shelf coincidently, they just happened to be her Fruits Basket ones. Natalya placed them in a stack in the middle of her room, kneeling she put her hands on top of the pile. Just as she was about to began the chant she heard footsteps on the stairs. Natalya looked toward the computer clock 11:45 pm, of course her mother would be coming to bed. Hurridly she shut down the computer, grabbed her manga and slipped under the covers trying to calm her breathing, so that it was the deep, even breathing of sleep. She made it just in time for right then her mother opened the door.
Mrs. Sanchez opened the door to her eldest daughter's bedroom, a suspicious look on her face. Why was she suspicious, because she knew her daughter. Natalya would have stayed up well past her bedtime (11:00) if her story was that good. So as you can guess she was surprized to find Natalya sound asleep and only the desk lamp on. Quietly she entered the room and turned the desk lamp off and left shutting the door behind her.
With a sigh of relief Natalya whipped her forehead whispering a "that was close" to the semi-darkness of her room. She stayed awake a little while longer thinking about the fic she just read, soon though her drowsiness caught up with her. As her eyelids grew heavy, the last thought she had in the world of the waking was, Wouldn't it be cool if that really happened to me?
As Natalya fell into a deep dreamless sleep she did not notice her manga began to glow or the moonlight drift her up into the night sky where the rainbow to another dimension awaited her.
A/N: Corny ending, I know. I wasn't sure how to end it so… Anyway hopefully next chapter will be better. Read and review, this is Crest of Water signing out, See ya.
