I DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKET IT BELONGS TO Takaya Natsuki

Chapter 1 "The Meeting"

"Crap! I'm going to be late," I screamed as I woke from a very unpleasant nightmare with a start and found it was already 6:45. I jumped out of bed fed my cats and went to my bathroom to get ready. Once I was done it was 6:50, so I raced downstairs grabbed a meaty oats bar and my book bag and raced to school going my normal speed (about 50 mph) just to make it to math before the first bell, man I hate Mondays.
"And after Hitler," 'BRRRIIINNNGGG,' said our teacher as the bell buzzed in our ears. "Ok class doesn't forget to finish the time-line for next week," she finished as the kids were groaning from sitting through the hour long lecturer. "Hey Caely," yelled my friend Kayla as I was leaving class "Want to hang out,"

"Sorry Kayla I can't I have to go take care of the little girls at the orphanage," I explained.

"Again can't you take a day off or something," Kayla said with a sad yet somewhat frustrated tone.

"You can help if you want," I encouraged.

"Ugh FINE I'll help out with the little twerps,"

"Thanks Kayla."

The week went by till Friday came and my boring day with nothing to do. Let me explain my name is Caely and when I was a toddler my parents, who no matter how much I try can never remember, abandoned me on the porch of the Tokyo Street Girls Orphanage where a sempai, who was on her way to school, found me and took me to the head mistress who was in her study thinking over a vision she had just had. The vision was of a girl, about the age of 4, was hugging a boy and then she turned into a lion cub. When sempai walked in with me in her arms she gasped because when she saw me I was covered in cuts and bruises. Then they took me to the infirmary where the doctor tried to take me but once he did I turned into a little lion cub. Then the headmistress gasped because she now saw what her vision meant. Since that day I've been marked as "special" and have been restricted from over working myself. This is not the only curse I have I also have a curse that makes any living thing fall in love with me. What I mean by this is that every time a person or animal sees me they will fall in love with me like meagerly fall in love. This means I've been almost raped many times, I say almost because Kayla is oddly enough not affected by my curse so she saves me every time I almost get raped. Despite this I still go to school and do chores around the orphanage the head mistress is always trying to get me to stop doing chores, but because of the curse I can persuade her to let me continue. The head mistress has made me take a special schedule as is from Monday-Thursday I have only 2 or 3 classes at school she made it so I would come back early and have Friday off except for my dance class at 10:00 am.
Today is Friday so hence my day off, I tried to sleep in but my cats wanted to be fed so I got up and fed the 12 of them. After I fed them I got dressed in a t-shirt and shorts and headed down stairs to grab some breakfast before heading out to the park to wait out the 2 hours before my dance class.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOing!?…" the boy yelled after I fell on him which was odd because I didn't turn into my animal form.
"I'm so sorry I really am I was just practicing my running and I didn't see you." I was so shocked that once I lifted my head to see if he was alright and found that his eyes showed the same shock I felt my shock turned into concern.

"A-are you ok sempai?" I asked. Then I noticed he had an odd looking bracelet on that looked similar to my own. "What's that?" I asked

"What do you think it is?" he asked sarcasm clear in his voice. At that moment I looked at his hair and found it was a fire colored orange.

"Kyo-kun sempai!" I exclaimed shocked.

"How do you know my name?" he asked shocked that I knew who he was. At this I reached into my ballet bag and pulled out a news article that had the picture of Kyo and his class from their cultural festival. I handed it to him with a blush that was starting to spread on my face. 'Oh' was all he said but it made another blush overlap the last one. At that moment I glanced at my watch and saw it was 9:55.

"Crap! Sorry Kyo-kun I have to go I'm late for my dance class bye." I said as I grabbed my newspaper and ran off towards the Dance Academy.
