My first Fruit Basket FF so please read and tell. I take fires as well as compliments. Just please tell me what you HONESTLY think.

What a noisy school, as I walked from one classroom to the next.

It had started off as a bad semester. I was a recent transfer and had only recently been going to Osaka High. I was probably the only person in the whole school that was dirt poor and only attending because of a full ride scholarship. From the moment I arrived in things were going wrong. My guardian did all but disown me kicking me out of his house and claiming he never wanted to see me again. I couldn't pay the rent for the apartment he gave me and that was because I couldn't find a job; no one had job openings or they been all quickly taken by college students. I was currently living in an old yellow tent in some unknown pasture barely making it on time for school and study hour. Study hour… I actually made it on time today and hoped to look over my notes for my science test I had third period but then I couldn't find any quiet place to study.

(sigh)

Things couldn't possibly get worse could they?

I had opened and closed every door on both the second and third floor, the first floor was just a lobby and old abandoned janitor's closets, and not a single one was empty or peaceful. I actually found people screaming and throwing food in the library… well I think it was the library.

This school holds less then five hundred high school students and yet it has three floors, an indoor and out door pool, its own workout gym along with a small and large gym for classes, the usual courts, and other the other works including a balcony.

Balcony…

I ran down the hall toward the back a thin door. It was a door that stood at both ends of the stairway that lead to the top. I pushed through.

(sigh)

I looked up the winding staircase; up and up it went as if it never ended. I took the first step.

Why does this school have such long staircases? Honestly what would happen if someone fell on one of these?

"Eh?" I questioned as the door opened at the top of the stairs to show a boy yelling at someone while walking through the door.

"Watch out!" called someone just before the boy ran into me.

He turned his head and for one split second those copper eyes seemed to pierce my soul, time froze making that split second lasting a lot longer then it should have.

Time became normal again and he collided with me and we both became airborne just as the door swing shut.

(poof)

"NANI?!" I screamed just as I hit the stairs and began tumbling down clutching a terrified orange cat to my chest in place of a boy.

"Where could those to be?" muttered a third year as he came to the balcony door. "Hmm… I wonder if maybe…" he opened the door.

CRASH

(poof)

"NANI?!" I yelled for the second time as the senior who opened the door became a black dog.

"AAHHH!!" I yelled as we began flipping over the rail I grabbed onto it at the last second with one hand. I bit my lip as I felt the dog bite my leg so he wouldn't fall to his death.

"Not good," I said as I felt my hand slipping. With the extra weight and my other hand preoccupied with holding the scruff of the cat's neck I couldn't get my grip back.

"Help," I cried out in a weak voice as my gripped slipped more, "HELP!!"

Why would Sato be looking for me? he wondered as walked the second floor hall.

"HELP!"

"Help…" he murmured as he followed the cry to the edge of rail.

"HELP!" called the cry again.

He looked up.

"Sato?" he questioned when he looked up to see a dog hanging off of someone's leg

"Ymuphutmo!" mumbled the dog when he looked down.

"Yuuto!" screamed the cat when he saw the silver hair boy on the second floor.

Jari too, he thought as he looked around to see how he could help but found nothing as they were hanging to far away from the wall.

"Don't just stand there you damn rat! Fuck'n Help!" screamed the cat

"You can talk!?" I screamed as I stared at the cat.

"Umm, meow, meow," replied the cat in late cover up.

"NO!!" I screamed as my last finger slipped from the rail.

(grab)

"Huh?" I said in shock as I looked up to see the silver hair boy on the second floor grasping my wrist with both hands.

"Don't worry I got –"

(poof)

"AAHHH!!" I screamed along with the three animals as we plunged toward our deaths.

(RRIINNNGGGG)

(drop)

(SLPASH)

I'm alive! I'm alive! I'm… drowning. I'm drowning! Oh no! Swim Kyoko swim!

(gasp)

(cough, cough)

"Hey did you guys see that hear that splash?" called a few voices from above.

"Oh no," I murmured as I could 'see' people gathering to the rail sides.

"Huh?" I said as I noticed a dog and rat holding on to my clothing laboring in breath.

"Oh, yeah that's right," I thought as I looked for the cat. "There you are," I exclaimed as I grabbed the half dead cat and the others and got out of the fountain.

"HEY WHO'S THAT? YOU WHO JUST GOT OUT OF THE FOUNTAIN?" yelled down someone.

"Huh?" I said as I looked up to find every student on the rails along with a few teachers trying to shove their way in.

"Oh no," I said as I began racing down the halls getting comments like "Hey," "Watch it," and "Why are you wet?"

Oh no! Is there anywhere I can go without drawing attention? I questioned myself as I looked frantically.

JANITOR'S CLOSET read a worn out plank on a white door.

I pushed open the door without a thought slamming it behind me and leaning against the back of it, breathing heavily.

"Damn rat! What were you thinking!" yelled the cat in front of me as shook his fur, "Now I'm all wet," he hissed.

"Now be nice Jari," said the dog as he shook his own fur out, "Yuuto tried his best considering the situation."

"Considering the situation you would think he could make matters better not worse!"

"Next time you can save yourself, neko baka," the rat replied

"What did you call me?! Damn rat, if it weren't for you I would –"

"Ahem," interrupted the dog as he cleared his throat, "aren't you two forgetting something?"

"WHAT?!" they yelled as they turn toward him and therefore turned toward me.

"Umm…meow?" mew the cat

"Baka," said the rat

(hiss)

"He already knew we talked since you opened your mouth to call out my name,"

"Oh so you're saying this whole thing is my fault?" hissed the cat in anger

"I didn't –"

"Isn't it?" asked the dog bringing momentary silence. "After all you were with the girl when you came crashing into me."

"Well yeah," the cat admitted reluctantly looking downward.

"I did run into – wait HER??" he yelled as he looked at my chest and blushed just like the dog and rat did. I just stared at my bandage that bind my breast and that apparently fell off somewhere in the mess because it was suddenly off my chest and on the floor soaked at the dogs paws.

I said before that things couldn't possibly get worse. I forget that there's always rain.

In my case it rained a cat and dog and even a mouse.

It rained and poured washing away my cover and showing my biggest secret to the world.

I am Kyoko Hirguishi.

I am a girl attending Osaka High a prestigious school known for its wealth, intelligence, and handsome student body of all-males. I'm a girl and my secret just got out.

Now, things can't possible get worse.
