Here is chapter 3.
I do not own Fruit Basket.
Enjoy!
3: The transfer student is a little dangerous.
"Okay, class, now settle down" The teacher shouted, glaring mostly at Kyo making him glare back.
Every since Shigure had announced that Tohru had a new boyfriend both Yuki and Kyo couldn't get it out of their minds no matter how hard they tried, as they shot looks at the completely clueless girl, who didn't notice both of their heated gazes while others did.
"Today we have a transfer student from Poland. He'll be joining us from now on please take care of him" The teacher said, as Xisto Valentine came in and most of the girls in the class let out shouts of joy while the males shot him glares while others had faint blushes on their cheeks.
You're so pretty are you sure you're a guy!? Practically everyone in the class thought, already hearing the sounds of beginning of a fan club, one that could revival Yuki.
"Ola, my name is Xisto Valentine, nice to meet you. Let's be friends" Xisto said, with an accent making most girls swoon and guys appeared heartbroken by the deep voice, he winking at some random girl making her blush while Kyo couldn't help but roll his eyes while Yuki stopped himself from rolling his.
What's so great about this guy? Kyo thought with distaste, feeling annoyance, for some reason he felt like he had seen this guy before and Yuki was getting the same feeling.
"What a nice introduction Xisto-san. Now where shall I put you?" The teacher asked.
"How about put me in the seat behind Tohru-chan over there?" Xisto asked and suddenly all eyes turned to the stunned girl who was still in shock that her female friend was male. "Is that okay with you Tohru-chan?" Yuki and Kyo were halfway out of their seats, they didn't know why but something about the guy rubbed them the wrong way.
"O-of course Xisto-san" Tohru stuttered out, realizing that everyone was looking at her and he smiled and walked down the line, passing Masal Kahramanlari, the infamous witch who's eyes narrowed as if trying to see past something while Arisa Uotani also narrowing her eyes, in suspicion.
You can stop now, I can feel all your stares. The fact that Masal is involved makes it that much scarier. Xisto thought, as he sat down and made up his mind to be blissfully ignorant of what going on around him.
"You feel off," Masal said, once the bell had rung for break much to his horror.
" Um, who are you?" He asked, creeped out by the girl in front of him that was giving him such an intense stare.
"Masal that's all you need to know," Masal said, with random dead flowers behind her making him a bit pale. " Usually when someone this good looking comes to our class, they are related to Yuki-kun and Kyoko-kun over there and you feel the same as them but you feel like us but at the same time I get the feeling like you shouldn't feel like us"
"I have no idea what you're saying Masal-chan, please let me go outside and get some fresh air" He said, a bit pale, he would have been surrounded by girls right now if not for the fact they were all scared shitless of the witch of the school and once he moved out of her range, they flocked to him like bees to flowers.
"Goodbye Tohru-chan," He said and Tohru stutter for a reply back and immediately was hounded by her two friends who were asking how they met while Kyo and Yuki secretly listened in.
"YUKI-KUN!" A loud female yelled, followed by a heard of girls that just passed Xisto and opened the door, holding an all too familiar dress in tow.
Xisto could feel Yuki horror from here and he kept himself from laughing, so he was at the point where Yuki cross-dressed as a girl and the appearance of Momiji and Hatori, he was looking forward to that.
"Xisto-kun, do you want some of my rolls?" One girl on his left asked as all of them sat on the grass.
"Of course princess," He said, making her blush bright red and shaking picking up the roll and he eat the roll right out of her hand and lick her fingers. "It was lovely" licking the side of his lips while the rest gave the girl a jealous glance and started offering pieces of food.
Any guy who happened to walk passed the scene would be understandably pissed at the scene of one guy surrounded by more than six girls.
"Xisto-kun, we have a cultural festival coming up, do you know what you're going to wear yet?" one of them asked, getting them all extremely interested.
"I don't know yet..." he grabbed one of their chins and lifted and looked deeply into a brown haired girls eyes and said in a deep tone, entrancing tone.
"But I'll be willing to wear anything you make, just because it's you princess"
They let out high squeals.
Why couldn't Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun be more like Xisto-kun!?
Already Xisto-kun had risen in rank with the terrifying species know as a fan girl.
"I can't believe it, guys like that exist," Arisa said, with a sweat drop as she and Masal watched out of the class window, watching Xisto flirt shamelessly with the species that had many good looking guys run for the hills at the mere sight of them.
"He's fearless" Masal had to admit.
"Tch, I don't know what's so great about the guy," Kyo said, almost glaring at the red head who was smiling with charm while Tohru was comforting Yuki who was still hung over by the dress that the third years had all but forced on him.
Just then they heard the bell ring and everyone started making their way back to class with Yuki making a slow recovery and Xisto went back to sitting behind Tohru.
"Tohru-chan," a familiar deep said, tapping Tohru on the shoulder making her turn her head to Xisto, who looked apologetic. "Sorry to bother you but I forgot to bring a pen, can I borrow one from you?" he asked, looking a bit embarrassed.
Tohru being the kind-hearted person she was, pick up one of her cute bunny themed pens and gave it to Xisto who was eyeing it with a look that said, he didn't know what to do with it, once he saw the extremely girlish design and decided to push down his pride and begin to write.
This was basically how the rest of the week wants by, Xisto became known as the flirting type and would always be seen with a group of girls around him and slowly but surely, he was getting closer to Tohru and it would only be a matter of time before he joined the group that held so many secrets.
The day of the festival came and the classroom was packed, the number one reason why.
Yuki was cross-dressing for the day and the class had a ton of customers.
Xisto rose his phone and snapped a picture, right in front of the white haired teenager so it came as no surprise when Yuki made the phone become a star.
"That was so mean Yuki-chan" Xisto wailed, tears in his eyes while Yuki shot Xisto a glare so fierce that if looks could kill, Xisto would have been dead a hundred times over but Xisto wasn't deterred by that.
"YOUR SO CUTE!" squeezing the very life out of Yuki while Kyo snickered in the background. "Tohru, don't you think Yuki-chan is adorable?" Xisto asked, as Tohru made her way towards them and they all froze to see Tohru clad in a frilly dress, making Yuki and Kyo look away to hid their blushes.
"Tohru, you're so cute," Arisa said, hugging Tohru as if she was the cutest thing in the world.
"Doesn't she look cute?" Masal said, turning to the boys who refused to meet her eyes and Tohru looked flustered.
"Tohru-chan, you look absolutely adorable," Xisto said, giving her a kiss on her cheek, making Tohru turn an interesting shade of red.
DIE! XISTO VALENTINE! Both males thought, wishing for the red head death in their minds.
"Yuki, why do you look like a girl?" a happy go lucky voice said and they all turned to see a foreign looking kid, on Yuki shoulders.
"Who are you?" Someone said, seeing him.
"Why is that guy here?" Kyo asked, while if it was possible Xisto smile went up a whole new level at the sight of the most energetic member of the family.
It's here.
"You shouldn't wonder around by yourself," Another male voice said and they all turned to see a man clad in a doctor suit with short black hair and the longest side over his right eye.
Hatori and Momiji Sohma.
"How are you, Yuki? and you too Kyo?" Hatori said, from the doorway.
"Ha-" Yuki began only to be cut half way by most of the girls in the room screams of joy at the good looking male.
"Is he Yuki friend?" someone asked.
"He's cute," another said.
"I'm Sohma Momiji, a Japanese and German mixed blood!" Momiji began to introduce himself, holding his hat. "And that's Sohma Hatori, we are Yuki and Kyo relatives" making Tohru eyes, widen knowing what that meant.
"Hm, is it a trait for all the family members to be good looking?" Xisto asked, to seemly to anyone, getting Momiji attention while Hatori wants to annoy Yuki.
"Have we met, before?" Momiji asked.
"Nope, my name is Xisto Valentine and I just transferred from Poland a week ago, nice to meet you. Momiji-kun" Xisto said, with a smile and an accent in his voice as he stretched out his hand for the bunny zodiac to shake which Momiji shook with childish energy.
"Do you want some sweets?" Xisto asked and Momiji eyes lit up like a charismas tree at the mention of sweets but before he could reply, Kyo dragged him away.
"NO MY SWEETS!" Momiji yelled, with tears in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure nobody touches them" Xisto yelled back and Momiji looked at him as if he was an angel.
"Maybe, I should check up, on them," Tohru said, worried about Momiji well-being in the hands of Kyo.
All of them watched as she began to walk in the direction, Kyo dragged Momiji off to.
There was a silence.
"So your, Xisto-san. I've heard so much about" Hatori said after the brief pause and Xisto found his heart pounding in his ears as he turned to the doctor, with that ever-present smile and said.
"Xisto Valentine, nice to meet you Hatori-san, so you're the family doctor. That's so cool, hey are all the family members like you? how do you get your skin so smooth? Did you have plastic surgery on your face to get that pretty? Where did Kyo-kun drag Momiji-kun off too?" Xisto mouth was moving a mile a minute much to Hatori horror.
Good, lord. It was another Momiji!
One he can handle but two, someone might as well shoot him on the spot.
"Speaking of Kyo, I wonder what he's doing. I should check on him just to make sure, he doesn't do anything illegal" Xisto said in a cheery voice and walked towards the direction of the trio before anyone could open their mouths.
"Yuki, have I met him before?" Hatori asked, feeling the strong sense, they had met in the past.
"How should I know, I don't follow you around all day" Yuki answered, making Hatori pause.
"True" Hatori admitted.
The next thing they heard was a scream as everyone was lead to the direction of where Kyo, Momiji, Tohru and Xisto had gone.
To find, Tohru holding a bunny with clothes on the ground and Xisto looked stunned.
Oh, dear, this was not good.
Yuki thought, quickly and put on an act that would most likely kill him inside.
"Am I Strange?" Yuki asked eyes sparkling and cheeks flushed. "I...as a man..dressed like this is very strange" snapping Xisto out his shock and diverted the crowd attention to Yuki who was being comforted on his 'issues' and how much of a girl he is much to Yuki hatred as Tohru successful snuck Momiji the rabbit away.
Thank you, Yuki. You sacrifice was not in vain Tohru thought, crying as she wants up to the roof.
Twenty minutes later, they all had made it up to the roof but they weren't out of the waters yet.
Xisto had seen them.
"H-hey that bunny is Momiji right?" Xisto said, trying to reassure himself that he wasn't going crazy and the kid was, in fact, the bunny.
They all stared at him even Hatori and that was unnerving.
"Xisto-san, do you have the sweets that you promised," Momiji asked, digging themselves into a deeper hole as Xisto stared at the bunny and muttered "What the hell under his breath?".
"Just great, what are we going to do about him?" Kyo pointed rudely as Xisto who was still staring at the talking bunny who seemed annoyed.
"Isn't it obvious? we erase his memory" Hatori said and at the talk about erasing memory Xisto looked up in horror.
"You going to do what to me?!" Xisto exclaimed, noticing how Kyo and Yuki were looking at him. "Hold it, I promise I won't tell anyone about whatever this is! There is no need for you to temper with my memory"
"He's right" Tohru, bless her, came to his rescue. " I know your secret so can't we get another person in on it too?" she asked.
"I'm sorry, Tohru," Yuki said. "But you're a special case while Xisto is not"
"HELLO! I'm still here!" Xisto yelled, getting their attention. "at least tell me how the hell Momiji is a bunny right now because I'm confused!"
"I'm sorry Xisto-san," Hatori spoke first, getting closer to Xisto. "But we cannot allow any more people to know the family secret so please forget" getting uncomfortably close to him and Xisto pressed himself against the wall as Hatori's hands reached his forehead and he felt his vision go black and he collapsed in Hatori's arms.
#The next day#
" You're so cute" Xisto purred, as he took a chunk of hair and traced his hands over it, making the girl blush. "What shampoo do you use, your hair is so soft"
"U-um, I-i use" The girl stuttered and he chuckled.
"Geez, first thing in the morning and he's flirting with a girl," Kyo said with annoyance.
Xisto came walked down the corridor with his hands in his pockets and Tohru saw him.
"Xisto-sa-"
Xisto walked straight passed Tohru without batting an eye and want to flirt with another girl.
"Tohru, leave it," Yuki said, "It's better this way" putting a hand on Tohru shoulder since she looked like she was about to run after him.
Xisto back was turned towards them so they didn't see the snake eyes that replaced his natural green eyes.
Or how the girl he was talking too, didn't seem to notice the change and her eyes looked slightly dazed.
They should know.
A snake memory is forever
And scene!
I've finally fished this chapter! It's seemed like Xisto is back to square one, just how will he get close to Yuki and the others again? and allow him to keep their secret? Next time, Xisto puts his plan into action and Shigure is clad in a suit for career day. Review/ fav and follow.
