"Talking"

Chapter 1

Kenji was scared. Everyone else had given their blessing in allowing him to propose to Hikari, but there was still one person left. This one person was the one that everyone had given him luck for. Looking down at the paper he wanted to make sure he had the right location. According to Hikari, if he got this person's blessing then she would marry him not caring what anyone else thought. That fact alone scared him. Kenji looked up at the building again. The school looked normal. It appeared as a normal High school. The name of the school stamped into the top of the arch that stood in front of the school. Now all he had to do was find this Mikoto Yutaka and get his blessing. Considering Hikari's age of being 22, Kenji made his way to the teacher's lounge. There was no way that Mikoto Yutaka could be a student.

Entering the school he immediately got lost. This did not help his confidence on the matter. He looked up and down the hall hoping that there would be someone, either a teacher or a student, whom could help him on his quest. Looking down at the sheet Hikari gave him, he looked up the information that it gave him on Mikoto. Red hair, red eyes and a symbol for a cat. He had to admit it was one of the more vague descriptions, but he wasn't going to argue, after all how many people had red eyes? Although he would admit that this person probably wouldn't be the strangest person he'd meet. Looking at the sheet he tried to think who was the weirdest. The silver-haired fashion designer, the silver-haired novelist, the internationally known hyper blond, or the pornographic play writer? Not to mention the famed model and her bi-colored photographer boyfriend. He didn't even want to go into the woman who looked like a humanoid tiger. The ones who were the most normal had to be the tiger-woman's husband and the brunet who was an editor; along with the light brown-haired bookstore owner and Hikari's therapist. Yet what made the who mission strange was the simple fact that they all had an animal next to their names and that after giving him their sign of approval, they had told him to call them a different name. Shaking his head, he knew that school teacher could not be that high on the list of odd. Shaking his head, Kenji smiled. He was one person away from getting permission to ask Hikari to marry him.

"Are you lost?" Kenji jumped. Looking next to him he saw three people standing next to him. Two women and a boy. Both women were dressed in nurse's outfits while boy was in the standard school uniform.

"Umm…yeah…I was wondering if you could tell me where I can find Mikoto Yutaka." Kenji asked. The two women shared a look. After several seconds of silence, where Kenji was sure that they had communicated with one another the Bluenet spoke.

"Why are you looking for Mikoto?" Kenji noticed something off with her voice but decided to push it off.

"It's none of your business, But I would greatly appreciated if you would tell me where is his classroom…or at least where the teacher's office is." Kenji replied.

"I'm sorry, but if it has something to do with Mikoto, it has something to do with us." The brunet stated, Kenji felt a shiver down his spine as he noticed the glare the woman was giving him.

"Umm, Yuujiro, Tohru…I think the better question is if he is looking for the Mikoto we know…I mean Mikoto's not a teacher." The boy stated, he got three stares in response to his question. Suddenly it clicked why the women in front of him didn't sound right.

"Your men!" Kenji exclaimed. It was his turn to receive the stares.

"Yeah…this is an all boy's school." The bluenet replied. "My name is Tohru Kouno, and this is one of my fellow princesses Yuujiro Shinoudani. This is our friend Akira Sakamoto…now can you please tell us who you are and why you are here?"

"Well…my name is Kenji Fujimoto and I need to speak with Mikoto Yutaka…All I know is that he has red hair and red eyes…and he has something to do with cats." Kenji stated as he looked back down at his sheet. The three students looked at one another and then looked over at Kenji.

"Are you here to profess your undying love for him?" Yuujiro asked.

"No…I'm here to ask his permission to marry his…I think Hikari said they were cousins…but I know they aren't blood related…actually she said they all were cousins but they all look to different from one another to be cousins…" Kenji stated, at their confused looks he clarified. "Hikari is my girlfriend…I want to ask her to marry me, but when I first proposed, she said she could only say yes if I got everyone on this list to give me my blessings. She then placed stars on the names that were the most important." Kenji showed them the paper. "She told me that they would give me a name to call them, and if then the last person would give me her true name…Mikoto is the last person on the list…He is also the most important one. Everyone told me that he would be the hardest to convince…but I have to convince him somehow." Kenji looked at the students. He was shock to see that Yuujiro and Tohru had tears in their eyes.

"How utterly romantic…come on. We'll help you find him. He can't be too hard to find. We're looking for him too." Tohru stated. Yuujiro gave him a glance.

"Why is she…Hikari…making you do all this?" Yuujiro asked.

"She told me that her that her family means a lot to her and that there have been some hard and troubling times. Because of that she said that they came up with this method. She said that if you marry within the family, then it's not needed, but if you marry outside, and she is the first to marry outside, that it was needed. I don't know too much about it, but I think it was their therapist's…Dr. Maho's…I mean Hatori's idea…though I wouldn't put it past some of the others to come up with it." Kenji replied. "But she did tell me, that she was one of the luckier ones…that's why she only needs to have it done if someone wants to marry her. I believe she said that for Hatori…Ritsu…I think Rin and Haru are already going to get married…oh and Mikoto…they have to get it done if someone wants to date them…although for Ritsu and Hatori, it doesn't have to be everyone…but she mentioned that for Mikoto it did…something about he being the worst off out of all of them…"Kenji paused as if something else clicked. "Damn, that must mean that Mikoto isn't going to be one of the normal ones" Kenji turned towards the three students, his eyes widened. "He's like you isn't he?" He pointed towards Yuujiro.

"What do you mean?" Yuujiro asked.

"And here I thought he would rank under the pornographic screenwriter and Ayame." Kenji sighed, he gave a shudder at the name of Ayame, and he would forever try to forget that visit.

"What do you mean by that?" Yuujiro growled, asking the question once again, Kenji just ignored him.

"Umm…guys what's going on?" A voice called out from behind them.

"Mikoto!" Akira exclaimed as he saw the red-haired princess still dressed in his nurse outfit. "We were looking for you."

"Why…oh, you must be Kenji…Ka…Hikari mentioned you'd be coming. I see that you surived the rest of the family. Ayame didn't cause too much trauma. But don't worry; you should have seen the outfits he tried to get me and Yuki to wear when we were younger…now that would give you nightmares." Mikoto smirked. Kenji felt another shiver run down his spine. Taking a deep breath he turned to face his adversary.

"Hello, I am Kenji Fujimoto. I am here to ask for Hikari's hand in marriage." Kenji replied as he gave a bow towards the red-haired princess. Mikoto looked at him. He then looked at his friends standing behind the man. Locking eyes with them he gave a small smile and nodded.

Tohru and Yuujiro shared a smile; it seemed as if Mikoto was going to give the poor guy his blessing. Yuujiro would admit he didn't like the guy, but he could tell that the guy cared a lot for this Hikari girl.

"No." Mikoto answered. Kenji looked up so fast that Mikoto was afraid he might have given himself whiplash.

"What!" Kenji whispered, he could feel the despair creeping into his heart. Yuujiro and Tohru shared a look of amazement.

"What do you mean Mikoto?" Akira asked. He could feel the grief emanating from the man in front of him.

"No…I will not give you my blessing…so you can go crawl back under the rock you came from. You might have survived the others, but Ka…Hikari is my most precious cousin and I don't believe you are good enough for her." Mikoto replied as he clapped his hands together and stared off into space, mimicking Shigure perfectly. "Now, I'm going to ask you to leave my school."

"No." Kenji stated, staring Mikoto straight in the eyes.

"Why not?" Mikoto asked looking straight at him.

"You are being unfair Mikoto." Tohru stated. "You don't even know him. When he talks about your cousin, his words are filled with love. How can you say no to that emotion?"

"Easy. No." Mikoto stated again, a small smirk appearing on his face. Yuujiro, Tohru and Akira had never seen such a vindictive expression on his face.

"I will not stand for it!" Kenji suddenly exclaimed. "I had to deal with your crazy family! Ayame tried to put me into dresses, Shigure reading his porn to me and trying to get me into some of his fantasy." Mikoto nodded along as if this was normal. "Having to deal with your bi-polar cousin…"

"Which one?"

"Haru and his girlfriend…their cousin for goodness sake and they make out like they don't care…"

"Haru has multiple personality…he's not bi-polar…that's more Momiji."

"It doesn't matter. I had to deal with odd hair, odd eyes and even odder personalities. I am sick and tired of all of these games that you play to drive me crazy. I feel like I've been to hell and back just so I can ask the woman I love more than anything in this life to marry me…and here you say no…No…like it doesn't matter to you." Kenji took a deep breath and a step forward.

"It doesn't…you don't know what our family has been through. I said no because what you went through this week is nothing more then what we go through on a regular basis…and if you can't handle it then you have no place in our family. "Mikoto stated, his eyes glaring daggers towards Kenji. He ignored the looks of astonishment on the faces of his friends as he spoke to the man.

"Kyou!" A tall brunet spoke from behind him. Mikoto changed his glare from the man to the woman.

"What do you say then Kagura?" Mikoto asked with a faint smile of relief on his face as he stared at his cousin.

"You know…I say that has to be the worst acting I've ever seen you do Kyou." Kagura laughed. Mikoto's face changed from a glare to teary eyed.

"But Kagura…you told me I had to be mean and vindictive." Mikoto replied.

"Yeah, but not scare Kenji half to death. Look at the man; he's as pale as a ghost." Kagura replied. Mikoto sighed.

"Fine. Kenji, do you love her?" Mikoto asked.

"More than life itself."

"Alright then…if you hurt her…I'll just have to kill you then…but you have my blessing…now give me the damn sheet." Mikoto stated as he snatched the paper from Kenji's hand. He then moved towards the wall to sign it. He cast a glance at the man, "What are you waiting for? She practically said yes." That was all Kenji needed to run up and kiss Kagura on the lips. Kagura laughed before motioning for him to look at Mikoto. Mikoto walked up to him and whispered in his ear. "Kyou is my name, and Hikari's is Kagura." Mikoto then leaned back. "If you tell anyone outside of our family. You will have a curse put on you." Mikoto and Kagura shared a smile.

Mikoto then turned towards his friends. "Let's leave these two on their own…I believe the president wanted to see us."

"Mikoto…what happened?" Yuujiro asked. Mikoto sighed.

"Ka…Hikari told me not to say yes…I mean really a blind man could see how much he cares for her. I think she wanted to hear the confirmation of his love for her. Heavens knows if you can survive half my family, then you deserve to become a part of it. We really are a messed up bunch."

"Mikoto…you are so sweet." Tohru replied. Mikoto blushed. Yuujiro's eyes narrowed.

"I am not…I just did what Hikari wanted me to do." Mikoto stated. Tohru swung his arm around Mikoto.

"You are so cute sometimes" Tohru laughed. Mikoto blushed harder.

"Guys, I forgot something on my desk, I'll be right back." Yuujiro stated.

"Would you like us to go with you Yuujiro?" Akira asked.

"No…it's alright. Just tell Arisada that'll be a few minutes late." Yuujiro stated as he left the group. Tohru just watch him run down the hallway an all knowing look entered his eyes. Once he knew he was out of hearing range he ran towards the couple.

"Oh…Shinoudani-kun…what is it?" Kenji asked. Yuujiro took a deep breath and turned towards Kagura.

"Hikari-san…can I please have one of those sheets. I wish to ask Mikoto out on a date." Yuujiro asked.

"Really?" Kagura asked with a grin. "Then here…just so you know…this won't be easy for you. Mikoto is the youngest and because of that everyone needs to say yes to you…and you will be tested. I won't give you my approval, but you will have to go to this person last."

"Kouichi Suzuki…rat?" Yuujiro asked.

"Yes…he will be the one who will give you the hardest of time." Kagura warned. "You seem like a sweet guy, but looks can be deceiving. So I guess I'll be seeing you soon then?"

"Maybe." Yuujiro replied.

"I see…a piece of advice, if you don't have the full conviction to go through with it and to care 100%, then I'm going to have to ask you not to use this sheet. Mikoto has gone through too much for him to go through the pain of a broken heart."

"I understand, Thank you Hikari-san." Yuujiro stated as he ran off.

"Good luck Yuujiro Shinoudani." Kagura muttered from behind. "You're going to need it."

Hope you like. I've never seen a Fruits basket/ Princess Princess Crossover so I hope people will like it. It came to me when I saw how similar Kyou and Mikoto looked to one another. Please R&R. Until next time.

C-ya.
