Mind of A Wolf: Oki Sohma
I don't own Fruits Basket.
Chapter Two
My and Hatsuharu's mother sat infront of Tohru, Kyo's friend Genrou Kou sitting against the wall a few feet away from the low japanese table.
In the room next to them, just behind the cracked door, the rest of us were either talking about some scool project, fighting (In Kyo and Yuki's case), or playing tag team Go Fish.
My big brother sat behind me, playing as my partner in the game while braiding my uneven hair, the tie clasped tightly between his lips.
I could hear mother and Tohru's words, and it wasn't anything I didn't know.
"So, Oki and Hatsuharu are brother and sister?" I could hear mother's clothes ruffle as she nodded. "I would have guessed he was just another overprotective cousin from the way Kyo treats her, I mean it's just the same.."
"Their father killed himself when I was in two months of pregnancey with Oki, I suppose he couldn't handle the thought of having another strange creature in our family. Hatsuharu has been trying so hard to make up for the love she's missing from her father, Hatori and Kyo are trying to help as well." I could hear Tohru's gasp, and Genrou's clothes move, and the sound of her leather glove being removed. She never took that thing off, well, except at night, and at the hotsprings, but she had bandage tyed around her wrist.
"I guess it's just what happens to those of us who look different. Those 'normal' looking people don't know how to handle it, so they pick on us, figuring that it would cover their fear of us. And sooner or later, they begin to feel as if we're just ugly looking bugs that they can squash the life outta. There are some that cannot handle it. I myself was one of those that couldn't handle being different. So...." She paused, I heard her lift her hand into their veiw. "I started cutting, it was small cuts along the veins to begin with, ya know, to get rid of the pain, but after a while they began to become more suicidaly inflicted, until...... Until I was rushed to the hospital because I had made four to deep. Those four are the scars you are looking at."
I heard mother and Tohru gasp, and I began to wonder if Lune had done the same thing.

Uncle Shigure stood up from his part in the our game, and looked at mother as Tohru came in and sat next to Yuki after Genrou managed to pull them off eachother, Genrou had started to nurse the gash on Kyo's cheek. Why couldn't Kagura be more like that instead of going skitzo and beating Kyo up like she did last time she was here?
"Why don't we go to the lake, Summer Vacation should be coming up for you all, right?" I looked over at Kyo and Genrou after I had nodded.
"Actually, Shigure, we had other plans." Genrou said looking at Uncle Shigure with a sideways stare. Uncle Shigure just smiled.
"That's ok, you can move those plans to the lake house, I mean theres not much you two could, Oh...." A blush spread over both Kyo and Genrou's faces, Genrou's cat ears popping up.
"THAT'S NOT IT YOU DIRTY MINDED PERVERT! We'll go, but only to be sure Haru dosen't go Black and tear off your head, that's reserved for me. I suppose I'll have to drag the babysitting job there with me." Uncle Shigure, and well, just about everyone else in the room turned an interesting shade of whitish blue. My brother being one who stayed completly normal.
"You're bringing Lune?" A smile spread over Haru's lips. Genrou nodded.

So the next day we ended up piled into mom's van and Hatori's car, Uncle Shigure in the front bugging mom while Lune and Haru nabed the two seats closest to the same window, talking away. I had taken the seat between Kisa and Kyo, Kyo had somehow fallen asleep and was leaning on Gernou's shoulder, Yuki and Tohru were sitting next to eachother. Momiji was in the seat between Uncle Shigure and mom, trying to find a good radio station, which would have been easier if my hyper cousin had stayed on one for more than two seconds.
The others, containing Hatori of couse, Ayame, and the bagage that wouldn't squeeze in with us was in the Hatori's car.
"THERE!" I shouted as Momiji just about zoomed pass my favorite channel, my shout caused Kyo to jump, waking up from a dead sleep.
I could only hope that Hatori still had all those movies at the Lake house.
