Chapter 1- The Element of Surprise
It was the first day of school for the Sohma's, and
Honda-san. It was Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru's senior year, and was also Haru and
Momiji's sophomore year. It seemed like any normal day, to them all. Kyo
came down the stairs that sunny morning, as he smelled his favorite food
for breakfast. Tohru greeted him with a warm smile as he entered the
kitchen.
"Good morning Kyou!" She said, as she walked into the joining room, placing
the occupant's breakfast upon the table. Kyo smiled his reply, as he walked
in and sat at the table.
"Morning Tohru." He barely finished his sentence before he started to stuff
his face.
Kyo couldn't help himself, since it was his favorite after all. He
smiled up at Tohru as she looked at him for approval. She nodded, and
walked back to the kitchen to clean it some, before joining him. Yuki was
the next awake. He walked into the kitchen as well, still half asleep. He
looked around, slightly confused, as he always was before he became fully
awake. Tohru placed her hand behind his right shoulder and turned him to
face the dining room.
"Breakfast is ready Yuki! I hope you enjoy it! It's my special treat for
everyone today. By the way, do either of you know if Shigure is up and
about yet?"
Before anyone could answer that, Shigure could be seen bounding in
with a huge smirk on his face. He plopped down infront of his meal, and
greeted everyone. It wasn't much longer until Miei could be heard coming
down the hall in search of him, crying as usual.
"Shi-shi-shigure!!" She wined as she came up next to him, looking down with
huge pitiful eyes. "Shigure! Where is the story? Please tell me you have
finished it?" Miei was so upset she was about to burst.
Yuki, Kyo and Tohru rolled their eyes in unison, as this was
something they all had become accustomed to. Kyo and Tohru resumed eating,
as Yuki looked over at Shigure with cold eyes.
"For God's sake Shigure! Give the poor woman her story already!" Yuki was
fully awake now, and didn't want to start his day off with Shigure's
antics.
"Aww, where's your sense of fun Yuki? Ayame wouldn't have made me give her
the sto-" Yuki had cut him off with an icy glare and a sharp retort.
"I don't CARE what that baka would or wouldn't do. I am not him!" Yuki was
acting strange today, but it was only because he knew something the others
did not.
Shigure sighed, and pulled a brown envelope out of his kimono,
as he always did. He simply smiled at Miei, who had stopped crying, and
became excited at the sight of the story.
"Oh Shigure! Did you REALLY finish it? The publishers won't be mad at me
for once, for it being late! It'll be ontime, considering it's due today."
She bowed and walked out of the room, then the house.
Shigure smiled, and started to count aloud. The others looked at
him, with apparent question played on their faces.
"Five-four-three-two-one." Shigure looked up and listened. As soon as he
said one, Miei's disappointed scream rang through the air. ,
This time she didn't even bother to come back to the house. She just
dropped the envelope on the ground and kept walking. She started to cry
again, and she rubbed her eyes. Shigure was simply smiling as he finished
his breakfast. He stood up and bowed deep, to Tohru of course.
"Ah Tohru, that was superb! Arigato gozaimasu!" He bowed again and walked
to his study.
The three simply stared at each other, wondering what he put in the
envelope he had given to Miei. They then all resumed their eating once
more, finishing up quickly. They were going to be late if they weren't
careful. Yuki, and Kyo went upstairs to change into their uniforms, as
Tohru cleaned up the bowls and plates from breakfast. After she finished
her chore, she went up to her room as well and changed. Just as she
finished she heard Yuki calling up to her, telling her it was time to go.
"Ok, I'm coming!" She replied as she grabbed her bag than ran down the
stairs.
She reached the entrance of the house, and pulled her shoes on,
before they all proceeded to walk to school. It was a lovely day. It was
sunny, with a teal-blue sky, and birds singing in the tree tops. An
occasional breeze swept past every now and again. The trio didn't talk on
the way to school, with the exception of the brief conversation about what
they found in the envelope. It was five hundred blank pages.
They reached school just as the first bell rang, signaling all the students
to head to home room.
"Ah! Look it's Tohru! Hana, have you talked to her at all this summer? I
have, but only for an hour. I had to go away, remember?" Uotani had to go
away for the summer. She visited so old friends in Tokyo, and stayed with
them.
"No, I haven't at all Uo. I feel bad, I wonder if she'll be angry with me?"
The dark-haired girl had replied.
"Hana! Uo!" Exclaimed Tohru, as she Kyo and Yuki walked into the class
room. "I've missed you guys so much this summer! I wish we could have
visited more, but that's all right!" She was so happy to see them, she had
forgotten to take her seat. Their homeroom teacher walked up and tapped her
on the shoulder.
"Miss Honda, I suggest you take a seat." Tohru blushed and nodded as she
found a desk that was next to Yuki, and infront of Kyo.
From there, the day dragged on slowly, but lucky them it was
only a half day. Tohru made plans to go over to Hana's with her and Uo for
dinner that night. Yuki and Kyo went on home after learning the news. Kyo
was quick to complain.
"Damn, it looks like one of us has to cook tonight, or order take out. I
hate it when Tohru's not home to cook dinner, because Shigure always orders
some dumb-ass Chinese take out." Kyo kicked a small rock that was in his
way as they continued home.
"Shut up you stupid cat, or I'll force feed you leeks for dinner tonight."
Yuki spat out at him, knowing this would hush him up for some time.
Kyo simply sighed, not wanting the chance of it, for Yuki had done
it before.
They reached the house finally, and told Shigure the news. He sighed, and
with a dramatic tone in his voice, he replied.
"Oh, I'll miss the essence of our little house wife's homecooked meal." Kyo
and Yuki both hit Shigure ontop of his ego-inflamed head.
After dinner, they all sat around in the dining room. Yuki was
organizing some school notebooks, Kyo was staring off into space, and
Shigure was working on some "dime store smut", as Uo had once put it. The
doors to the Japanese-style porch were open, letting fresh air in. A cool
breeze swept through, ruffling the three's hair. Kyo looked up to gaze out
at the yard. As he lifted his head, he noticed a tall young woman standing
with her back leaned against one of the edges of the doors. Kyo stood up in
shock, then started yelling at her.
"What makes you think you can just waltz in here, after being gone so long?
You're a bitch you know that?" Kyo was slightly bent over, with his fists
clenched, just like they always were when he was mad.
Both Yuki and Shigure looked up in shock as well, after hearing Kyo
explode like he did, they knew someone was here. Shigure stared at her,
then smiled and Yuki simply sat there, mouth half open.
"Well, aren't one of you so called 'gentlemen' going to invite me and the
lady in or not?" Said a masculine voice. Around the corner of the other
door appeared Haru. He walked in, and sat down at one end of the table,
making room for the lady who followed him in to sit next to him.
"There's just no way it's her! It can't be!" Kyo said, finally sitting
down. Yuki closed his mouth and laughed at his stupidity.
"Well, who else would it be? A ghost?" The silver haired guy said.
"Well, Rin, it's been along while since we saw you last," Shigure started.
"How have you been?"
She smiled slightly then replied, "I've been well thank you."
"Haru, you're not here to do what I think are you?" Yuki said, his eyes
searching Haru's for an answer.
Haru simply sat there and slowly shook his head. He had the same
placid look on his face as he always did when he was white Haru. Rin looked
over at Yuki, then to Haru. She didn't say anything. It was not that she
was shy, but she knew it wise to leave the explaining to Haru. Shigure sat
there, calm and collected as he usual was during a normal conversation. Kyo
looked at the two, confused as all get out.
The group heard the front door open, then close. It was Tohru, and
she announced she was home. She walked into the room where everyone was.
She was surprised to see Haru, and bowed to greet her friend.
"Hello Haru! How are you?" She said, as she glanced over to the femme
sitting next to him.
"Hello. I'm well thanks. Oh, excuse me, this here is Rin. She's a Sohma
too." Haru gestured to the brunette next to him. Her long brown hair swayed
with another breeze that came into the room. She looked at Tohru who had
now sat down at the table next to Yuki.
"It's nice to meet you Rin. I am Honda Tohru." She said to Rin, who smiled
at her.
"It's wonderful to meet you too. Haru has told me all about you!" She
replied.
Shigure caught on that Haru had something important to say, so he
asked Tohru to take a walk outside with Rin, so they could get to know one
another better. Tohru happily complied, and as usual, was clueless as to
what was going on. The two girls stood up and went out onto the porch, down
the steps and off into the backyard.
Yuki, and Kyo had their gaze's fixed on Haru, and Shigure turned from
watching the girls, to look at the half white, half black haired male.
"So Haru, do you have something to tell us? Or are you bringing Rin, whom
you don't appear with anymore, to stay here?" Shigure interrogated him,
although his voice remained in a light, cheerful tone.
"Well, I did bring Rin with me for a specific reason. You see, her and I
are....well...."
Kyo snapped at him, "Out with it you damn cow!"

Hello everyone! It's me, the author of Jamech! Anyhow, I'm here with my
second fanfiction! And it's my FIRST Fruits Basket one.[ I've written

Any way, how do you like it so far? I think it's coming along quite well! I

never in the anime, and is only briefly imaged in the manga, in a flashback
at that. Well please, I'll deeply and greatly appreciate any Review. R&R !
Please tell people about my fanfic too! I'd love as many people as possible
to read it! Well, that's all for now!
