Thanks victoria, solo, and rainbow ! You guys are my first reviewers!
I got this idea a while ago, and I think it will tie into the manga nicely.
O yeah, I have a permit that doesn't have the name Natsuki on it so I don't own fruits basket.
Chapter Two
Tohru gingerly lifted the picture up to her eyes, staring at it. "Yuki? This is Yuki and me?"
It was have of a slide photo, the kind that had four pictures that you could get at theme parks, the mall, and the movies. In each of them was a Tohru when she was younger, and a small boy who had Yuki's un mistakable grey hair and violet eyes.
The first frame had them simply smiling.
The second, they seemed to be in a competition to see who could make the silliest face. Tohru giggled when she looked at that one. She appeared to be stretching her cheeks out with her fingers while rolling her eyes. Yuki seemed to be puffing his cheeks out and using a finger to turn his nose up.
The third had Yuki's head on top of hers, with a grin on his face.
The last they simply smiled, but they both had bunny ears.
She turned it over, and her suspicion was confirmed that the boy was Yuki when she saw the childish scrawl, 'me and Yuki Sohma-kun!' but there was no date indicating when this had happened.
"How…When was this taken? I don't ever remember meeting Yuki-kun before we got in High School" she thought, raking her memory for any knowledge that this had happened. Realizing that there was more in the box, she put the picture to the side, for the moment.
There were more pictures in the box. Tohru smiled when she recognized her mother and father's faces. There was a whole stack of pictures of them together doing things like taking a walk or reading. There were even a few pictures of her as a baby, playing with a small beanie baby.
Under the pictures were a few pieces of jewelry. Most of it was plastic, things a five-year old would find pretty, such as gaudy plastic rings and clip-on earrings. However, she did find one piece of real jewelry. A small silver pendant in the shape of a butterfly hung from a black, silky string.
"Mom, was this yours? What was it doing here?" Tohru murmured quietly to the picture beside her bed. "I think I should wear it. It reminds me of Mom, and it's really pretty too."
She laid the jewelry box and the necklace on her dresser, so she would remember to put it on in the morning. "I want to ask Yuki about this but…Eek! It's really late! I'd better get to sleep or I'll be really tired for school tomorrow!" her thoughts speeding off when she saw the clock by her bed read as midnight. "I'll ask Yuki if he remembers taking the picture in the morning" she thought as she propped the picture on next to the jewelry case and then climbed into her bed. "Goodnight, Mom."
Moonlight shone through her window, lighting the three strange new objects lying on her dresser.
So what do you think? Please review! It encourages me to update!
BTW, I'm not sure when her school starts and ends, so I'll just make up times, kay?
