Takes place during Fruits Basket episode 16 the Shoma lake house

Paring; Hatori/ OC

Chapter one:

Hatori was sitting on the porch with Ayame and Shigure listening to Ayame's idea to go swimming at the lake.

"I would love to go swimming pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssse???" Tohru looked at the others with her blue eyes pleadingly. Then Shigure already was ready to go because he was already in his bright red swim trunks, white T-shirt, and pink towel in hand heading for the door.

"Let's make like tree's and get the heck out of here!!!" Shigure sang as he walked out the door. The other all ran to get changed and ran to the door; it surprised everyone when Hatori fallowed them to the lakes shore. They were all playing in the water when Ayame grabbed Tohru and turned into a snake. Yuki came over grabbed his brothers tail and chucked him into the deep part of the lake. Then they all heard a poof and then a very loud cry from Ayame.

Everyone started to laugh. Little did they know that something was happening on the other side of the lake, until the heard a scream. They all ran to the lakes edge but Hatori was the first one to grab the binoculars to look out across the lake. What he saw startled him, there was a woman with long blonde hair and knee length black long sleeve dress running as fast as she could from a man with short red hair. Then he tackled her and then there was a poof of smoke and the man came running out of the smoke. He turned back to the lady and the last thing he saw was something shiny sliding into the lake and saw something coming toward them and fast. Then it stopped and he saw that there was the girl in the middle of the lake her waist was above the water as she floated there. The dress she wore covered the lower half of her body.

He watched her as she turned toward the left and dove back under the water. Hatori dropped the binoculars and ran out into the water.

"Ayame grab her arm!!!" Ayame turned around and saw the girl swimming at a very fast speed so he just barely got hold of her arm. The girl came up out of the water and screamed. Hatori saw that she was crying.

"Please let me go!!!" her voice was like music to their ears. She looked up at Ayame and her bright blue eyes shown with fear. Then there was a loud poof and the girl was on her backside in the water. She had her legs drawn up to her chest as she cried in the water. Hatori approached the girl and gently reached out a hand to her but she didn't notice as he wrapped one arm around her shoulder and the other went under her legs as he picked her up and took her to the house. They all could see that he didn't let her touch his chest.

"Please let me go!!" she cried but he didn't listen. Hatori put her on the couch and put a towel on her head and started to dry her hair.

"Thank you" she whispered in a quiet voice. She looked up at his with her bright blue eyes filled with tears.

"How are you?" he looked her right in the eye. She looked down at her feet and she didn't answer. "Please who are you? Tell me, after all you where on our property."

"I'm sorry but I was running away from a man who has been after me for the past month. I saw him fallowing me and I jumped out of my car and ran. My name is Cristiana Vincent, I'm sorry once again." she was ashamed that she had caused a disturbance for this family.

"It's alright you were just trying to get away." Hatori tilted her chin up and started to make sure that she was unharmed. "Let's get you dried off." he stood up and she followed him to the bathroom.

"Here there a towel in there that you may use." he walked away as she closed the door. A few minutes later he came back and knocked on the door. She opened the door a little.

"Here is something you can wear until your dress is done drying." he gave her a pair of long pants and shirt that looked like the same ones that he had on except the pants were black and shirt that was deep red. ({[BTW she is as tall and thin like Hatori but with a chest]}) she thanked him and closed the door as he left. She looked in the mirror as she brushed her hair with a brush that she had found on the counter she then took the rubber band off of her wrist and put her waist length hair into a long braid down her back after she dried it the best she could with the towel. She walked out of the bathroom and she walked down the hall the way she came in. she saw Hatori on the couch waiting for her.

"Come with me please." She followed him to the front door and back to the beach. On the way over to the beach she stumbled.

"What's wrong?" Hatori looked behind him and saw the girl blushing.

"I'm not used to wearing umm well to put it bluntly well pants. I've worn just skirts and dress since I was about 4 years old." He nodded but looked at her like she was crazy. They were back to the beach when the girl tripped and fell into Hatori's back.
