Mind of A Wolf: Oki Sohma
I don't own Fruits Basket.
Before I get anymore flames, I'm changing this one, just to clear something up. Oki was suppose to be born as the dog, but because of the Kou Clan, she was born as a wolf.
Chapter One
It's always been like this, and it's gotten harder since my big brother started going to the high school. My classmates know that I no longer have my big brother to stand up for me, he's no longer there to keep them from giving me those dirty looks. Even my friends my have forgotten why they use to play around with me.
I shiver at the feeling of rain seeping into my thick coat. I am the wolf. An outcast of my clan, so why do they love me as they do, even though Akito has forbidden them to have anything to do with me? My big brother makes it his duty to make sure I'm always alright, and my mother says it's just something that happens with those of use who look different. Mother herself looks different, with one amber eye and one silver, orange hair, she's only a head over my four feet, but mother is not a member of the zociac.....
My cousins, Kisa and Kyo, understand me, they want to help me just a much as my mother and my brother, but they can't. They can't because I am different from them, there are certain memebers of my own family with the zodiac that I cannot touch without turning into my wolf.
Hiro, Akito... They are only two of the ones I cannot touch...
I must look pathetic, my orange undercoat splattered with mud, my school uniform was still on the floor of the classroom... I must have looked like a sick dog to passerbys who managed to see my black coat through the dark green bush.
"Oki! Oki!" My brother... he's looking for me. He's been trying to fill in for dad since I was born, and it hurts me to worry him, but.... I can't face them. I cannot face the clan, or my classmates. I sink deeper into my hiding spot, causing a few leaves to move and a couple of twigs to snap.
My brother turns towards my hidding place, his silver eyes searching. He crouched down, pulling me out.
Hatsuharu.... my big brother. He was always looking out for me, even if I didn't realize it. I gently listened to their conversation with one ear.
"So, what's wrong with her?" Haru's friend, Tohru Honda, asked.
"We're not sure, Hatori says that she's unable to handle being around people anymore, so she's locked herself away from everyone." Haru knew that wasn't it. My big brother knew what was wrong with me...
I closed my eyes as Yuki sighed. "We all knew she would eventually loose her grip on everything around her."
And they did, even Akito had his slight worry about me, his worry about having someone in our family inside of a mental hospital.
"Yes, but why would she do this?" Uncle Shigure asked. I could hear Haru move.
"She.. was being picked on." I bolted up, shooting forward and biting deeply into his forarm. My single amber eye looking at him as the other remained covered by bandage...
"That hurts. What is it? Do you want me to leave it? Stay out of your bussiness? You made this my bussiness Oki. Do you have any idea how worried I and mother were?" My brother's silver eyes gave me a hard look, but that love he alway held in them never leaving...
I heard Tohru gasp. Was it that unsual that two Sohma's could be brother and sister? I closed my eye, fighting back tears.
I let go of my brother, running out the door as fast as I could. Why was it everywhere I went I hurt somebody?
I could hear Tohru's worried shrieks about my brother's bleeding.. And I could hear Kyo coming after me.
Didn't they understand that I needed to be alone. All I need is to be alone, somewhere where there is no one I can hurt.
"There you are." I snapped around, biting into the hand that was reaching for me. My cousin's cinnamon eyes stared at me, that love that was in Haru's eyes in those redish brown orbs.
I and Kyo were two outcasts that had no reason in the zodiac.
"Oki." My mother's voice reached my ears, and I closed my eye.
"Oki, do you enjoy seeing me in pain? Do you like causing you're brother to stay out looking for you for hours?" I felt Kyo's blood seeping into my mouth.. Warm. They all loved me, I knew that, but....
"Aunt Takai, she... she might have thought that what they thought matter the most, that her classmates were more important than what we thought..." That was it... Kyo just explained what I had been trying to find out for so long in a simple sentance...
My sight was filled by smoke as I changed into my human body, and immediantly I felt Haru's coat draped over my back. I rubbed my cheek against Kyo's hand, shooting forward as he tugged on me slightly.
It seemed unnatrual for someone like Kyo to hug someone else, but I suppose I was that one exception..
