A/N:

the

like it. I know
it's kind of typical, but I will try my best.
Disclaimer: no I don't own fruits basket...if I did I
would be some Japanese lady, and that I'm
not.
Chapter One
"Coming!"
a boy shouted from somewhere inside the green and white modest two
story house. A girl that looked to be around three years his senior
waited at the side door. "Oh, hey Zazzy. Ri's in her room
waiting for you." The boy said, with disappointment laced into
his tone.
"Thanks Dill," Zazzy said
to the boy, and walked through the kitchen towards the stairs. When
she reached a door with sticky pictures posted everywhere of people
in various positions (a/n: no not those kind of positions--dirty
people) along with clippings from magazines taped up, she simply
walked right in. "Hey Ri...Ri?" she looked around the
decent sized room, not seeing her friend anywhere. Never taking
notice in the pile of laundry in the corner.
Zazzy sat on the bed
and picked up the book closest to her, she smiled when she saw it was
one of the mangas she bought Ri for her birthday that year. She was
pulled out of her thoughts when the pile of laundry came flying at
her. After jumping a good three feet or so, she realized that Ria was
the soul reason for have the wind knocked out of her.
Gasping
slightly she said as best she could," So, what now, you're trying
to kill me? after all that crap I bought you?" now she was
laughing, though it was barely noticeable.
"Oh Zaz, you know
I just enjoy being a delinquent! Nothing personal," Ri said in a
sing-song voice. Zazzy just gave her, her famous blank
stare.
"--you.got.mail.--"
Ri's computer said to her in the monotone way only a computer can
pull off. "Hm?" was all that Ria said before she went to
the computer that was sitting on a low/long black table. Zazzy just
sort of scoped out the room. Ria was not
a fan of cleaning so, whenever she came over she looked for
things out of place. And that was when she noticed "it."
A tiny black dot by Ria's desk. She walked over and identified the
spot as an ink stain of some sort.
"Hey Ri, did you know you
have an ink stain?" Zaz said as she bent down to inspect. She
hoped it would wash out of the, otherwise, clean white
carpet.
"What'd ya say?" Ri asked while checking the
massive amounts of Spam, wanting to cry. (Yes, no one ever e-mails
her...BWAHAHAHAHA.. --)
"C'mere, I'm not sure if it will
come out." Was all that Zaz said before Ri came to see what she
was freaking out over now. She looked at the ink spot...she looked
some more, trying to think of the last time she used a pen.
"Might
have been from Tuesday, I was inking a picture I think it will
come out. Most inks do." With that she went into the bathroom to
find some spot remover, hoping it would work, if cleanliness was
Godliness, her mother was as close to Godliness as a person could get
while still being able to claim sanity.
"Hey Ri! You got to
see this...Now!" she heard Zazzy from down the hall and sighed,
abandoning her mission for the moment.
"Yeah, what is it?"
She asked walking over to the offending stain. She noticed it seemed
a little...
"It's bigger. When you left, it got bigger. It
was CRAZY DUDE! OH LOOK!THERE!" and sure enough the stain got a
smidge larger than before. It continued to grow in size when another
girl burst into her room, practically screaming "I GOT THE
MOVIES! HOPE YOU GOT THE FOOOOOOOOOD!" When the new comer
noticed her friends ignoring her and staring at the floor, she
dropped her stuff and went to stand by them.
"Hey Lyn."
They said together. Then Lyn noticed, there was a big black hole in
the floor.
"Hey Ri, did you set another fire? Oo0o0o0o,
Y.O.U..I.N..TROU.BU-- hey...is that thing... growing?"
she said slightly bemused.
"Yeah, yeah it is," Ri
replied blankly.
"Throw something in it,"
Lyn said, while picking up a ruler. She handed it to Ria, and Ria
tossed it in. Right when it hit the floor it disappeared.
"Well,
that's interesting." Zazzy said, barely raising her voice from a
monotone. Suddenly the ink stain/hole thing expanded----
Dill
walked in and saw the girls staring at the floor and asked, "What're
you doing ?" But
before anyone could answer all three girls vanished into thin air.
"Well I'll be, that can't be good," said the thirteen year
old. He stared long and hard at the place his sister, his enemy, and
his crush were once standing. Noticing after a good five minutes a
book had appeared. He stepped in shaking, and grasped the book. The
cover was blank. No title, no picture. Just a forest green hard
cover. He opened the book flipping through the pages he noticed they
too were blank. He went to the first page for a clue, and nearly
fainted when he saw the blank page begin to write itself in a shiny
gold ink that turned a darker shade of black he would ever see.

Before
they new what happened, they could see again. Almost as if being
sucked into a black hole was as simple as blinking. Though they each
knew they definitely hadn't blinked, well okay maybe Lyn did but that
was understandable.
Lyn found herself sitting on something hard
and something rather sharp was poking her lower back. She soon
realized she was in a tree, a good 20 feet from the ground. She was
in the crook of two large branches and there was a twig sticking her
back. She quickly rid herself of the pesky twig. "HEY! YOU GUYS
THERE?" she yelled, hoping her friends were okay, and that they
were there.
"I'm
here!" Zazzy said. She had found herself flat on her back on a,
rather slim, branch. She was surrounded by leaves, but could tell she
would have to move before--
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
HELP ME! HELP ME! HELPME HELPME HELPME! AHHHHH-"
was what they got from Ria. Just then Zazzy heard her branch snap,
and screamed the loudest she probably ever had or ever would in her
life. She herself laying half way on top of Ria. Lyn looked down, and
carefully moved towards the ground. But soon found the same problem,
and fell to the unforgiving ground, only to land on both Zazzy and
Ria.
"Are you okay? You were screaming bloody murder!"
Zazzy was checking to make sure Ria was okay.
"I-I-I-NO! I'M
NOT--OKAY!"
Ria belted. She then sucked in her breath and proceeded, "FIRST
ALL THAT STUPID MAIL I GOT WAS SPAM! THEN I HAD AN INK STAIN! THEN I
HAD A BLACK HOLE! THEN I GOT SUCKED INTO
THE BLACK HOLE! THEN I FOUND MYSELF HANGING UPSIDE DOWN FROM SOME
STUPID TREE! THEN MY FOOT SLIPED OUT OF IT'S HOLD! THEN I FEEL 20
FEET! THEN YOU LANDED
ON TOP OF ME! THEN YOU
LANDED ON TOP OF ME! So no
Zazzy, I'm not okay."
She glared then out of no where said, "AND LOOK I BROKE MY ONLY
RULER!" then held up her ruler that was now in several
pieces.
"Are you done?" Zazzy asked, back in her
monotone.
"Yeah, I think so...so...uh...where are we?"
Ria asked getting over the whole shock of things.
"I have no
idea." Zazzy stated plainly.
"Me either, but, doesn't it
feel eerily familiar?" Lyn voiced.
"Sort of...but..."Ri
began but just then they heard shouts. When they heard the shouts was
when they noticed the house.
"HEY!
HELLO! WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND JAPANESE? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? THIS
IS TRESPASSING!" a boy that looked to be their age with
bright orange hair was shouting...at...them? That was around the time
Lyn started drooling. She knew exactly where they were now. She
didn't care if it was
impossible. Souma Kyo was HOT! Even if he wasn't real. Ria and Zazzy
were still trying to place him. Lyn started giggling uncontrollably.
"WELL?" he
shouted again.
"Uh--well--you see--it started--last
Tuesday?" Ria ventured, not sure how to explain how they got
here. She didn't even know where 'here' was.
"
HUDDLE TIME ! \m/( )\m/" Shouted Lyn. And all three
girls rushed into a huddle. And Kyo sweat dropped appropriately.
"Okay- I know where we are!" Lyn whispered excitedly. Ria
and Zazzy gave her matching blank stares. "FRUITS BASKET!"
she whispered loudly.
"No--way.." Zazzy was able to get
out. There was no way real live people could get sucked into some
manga. But then black holes aren't suppose to just show up in your
best friends bedroom either, and she had seen that with her own
eyes.
"Way," Lyn said flatly, "okay...names we need
names."
"We have names, why can't we just use those?"
Ria asked, thinking the idea stupid.
"Because, you smart
donkey, we're in Japan now, not only that but inside a manga! Do you
really think Lynda Rodgers is going to work here? Or Ria Ngo? Or
Zahara Kay? Think about it." And when they did think about it,
it made sense. (Lyn: Duh, it's me! A/n: No need to get full of
yourself)
"Okay...so...names, we need names" Ria said
as though the original idea had been hers all
along.
"Okay...um...I'll be...um...OH! I once made up this
character, and her names was Haruka, and I never gave her a last
name, but I'm thinking I can make one-(insert blank stares from Lyn
and Ria) Umari? I'll be Umari Haruka." Zazzy said flatly.
"Let's
seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...eeeeeeeeeeeee...heh...heh-heh…okay! okay!
uh...Tojo Kyomi" Ria said at once. No one wanted to know how she
came up with that.
"Hanasai Aiko." Lyn Stated, her
friends giving her a questioning look, "I've been dreaming for
this for a long,...long
time."
"AHEM!"
Said a rough voice behind them. The girls turned back to a forgotten
Kyo, and smiled uneasily
