Summary: Yuuri Matsugou was walking home from her job as a bar keeper. She suddenly stumbled upon an odd plate which she thought looked rather rare. But when she picked it up, a blinding flash was all she could see....muah! muahahahahahahahaaa!!!!

Disclaimer: ok, I don't own fruits basket or anything to do with it...sad...but true! Though I do own Yuuri, Kouji and Su-bin and EVEN the drunk man at the bar!!!! ...so don't even try to take HIM away from me....0o

Ok, to the story:

"Uh...what's up with you?"

Chapter 1:

Yuuri's POV:

Ok...Here's a story that I will never ever in my life forget. Something that happened...umm, about a year ago, when I thought there was nothing left to do in life since we were so "off task" of what we were dreaming of doing. Though, I won't say anymore...the rest, my friends, is for you to find out.

Tick, tick, tick........the sound of that god damned clock is so friggen annoying! When was kouji coming back? He said he would go get us lunch and be back in ten minutes...it's been half an hour.

"uuuuuhhhhh..........!" Came Su-bin's voice. I turned around and saw her spread out across the bench. She was drooling again. I sighed, what was wrong now?

"What is it now? What the hell is up with you...? "I asked.

"......so.....so.....hungry...!" was all I heard.

"Heh!!! Yeah, me to. But we're just going to have to wait until that sick basta-"I was cut off by someone yelling something right into my ear.

"I'M BAAAAAAAA-HAAAAACK!!!!! AND LOOKIE WHAT I GOT!"

Yelled Kouji.

Kouji's 17 years old (as well as Su-bin and me) and no one seems to really understand him because he's so inunderstandable. Just like me, he's from Japan, and somehow ended up in America. Then again, he's full of life and sometimes, he's the weirdest person you could ever've met! He's got shoulder length black hair with blonde tips but you can't really see the dark part of his hair since he wears this 100 year old beanie! (Those of you, who don't know what a beanie is, it's this kind of hat thing...). He's got bright blue eyes (contact lenses). And he's...well, he's a thug!!! Yeah thugs rock!

And Su-bin, she's from South Korea and she's got chestnut brown bleached hair which is in a way layered ...sort of, well I can't really explain it but yeah and she has hazel eyes (again, contact lenses) Su-bin is a rock chic/ punk sort of thing, they rock as well!!!, and she's got this real cool tattoo on her left leg (a kind of swirly pattern thing). She speaks Japanese fluently so all three of us speak Japanese whenever we get the chance to! Even though she doesn't look it, she's really kind hearted and a very generous person.

You see, we all work at a petrol station and we left high school really early. We thought we could write some songs and become a band. We thought it out really well...but we needed something to start off with. So we ended up here!...in a petrol station....--'...but hey! It isn't that bad.

And now, back to me. Well ok let's make this easy. I've got really long jet-black hair all the way down to my ass and it's sort of layered, but the strange thing about me is that I got grey eyes (and no! these are Not contact lenses ) which always used to freak the little kiddies out when we were still children. He he! Yes I'm evil! o. My skin is unusually very fair (fairer then others) and yeah. My mom died when I was nine and ever since my aunt and grandmother took care of me. I loved my mother. I hated my father. The story goes like this...you see, my mom was raped by my dad and that's how she had me. Mom told me that dad then took off, but then ended up shooting himself for realizing what he had just done. So we lived on and everything was fine until... mom died. Bang! It was just like that! And the worst thing was, that I saw it all happen with my own eyes. Mom was picking me up from school that afternoon. Normally I would take the bus, but mom and me were going to go shopping, so she picked me up.....It was like it was meant to be.... . I was waiting at the front gate singing a song mom always sang to me. Then I saw her! I was so happy! Finally I was going to get that new doll I wanted so badly! She was turning around the corner to come onto the main street when...it happened. Some nutcase drove right into her! I still remember the shrieking sound of car-breaks and the sound of broken metal and glass sprawl across the ground like it was yesterday. After that day, I never talked again. For three whole weeks I never said a word. Until there was a new student in school. Su-bin was her name and she looked absolutely terrified! Ha! I smiled when I saw her face, only realizing it was the first time I had smiled in three weeks. I pointed to the desk next to me which was empty. When she saw me smile at her, her face relaxed a little, and a tiny grin came across her face. She ran to the back of the classroom and sat down next to me.

"Hi! Yang Su-bin my name is!!!" she said.

I looked at her weirdly. So! She couldn't speak proper English.

So what? Who cares? I know I didn't!

"...uh hi!" I said. My voice a bit raspy "I'm Yuuri Matsugou"

"...you strange eyes having! How?"

"Uh...I dunno! Not that it matters..."

"Hooo!!!! Ok...me coming from Korea!!o"

"Cool! I'm from Japan, a place called Osa-"

"Alright girls you can talk later, get going with your work ok?...good" said the teacher as she walked off.

Ever since that day, Su-bin and me have been friends. We did everything together; we hung out together after school, we did our homework together and in no time at all she had become my best friend! By this time she could speak English way better. I told her about what happened to mom and by the time I was finished, her handkerchief was soaked. She told me that whenever I needed a shoulder to lean on, hers would always be there. By this time I hadn't noticed that hot tears were streaming down my face. And without knowing till later, I had leaned on her shoulder and found the comfort I needed.

So everything was cool until one day, during the second subject of the day, there was a knock on the classroom door and in came the principal dragging a boy with mud all over himself even on his face after him.

"Ahem!...excuse me Mr. Slavinski, but were you expecting a new student today? I found boy in the park plating in the mud singing a hamster song... "

"why, yes ummm...yes I was, b-but I thought that the student was sick s-so I didn't bother coming to advise this t-to y-you !" said the teacher nervously.

"...well, fair enough! Then could you please introduce yourself young lad!" said the principal, letting go of the boy.

"Ummm...yeah ok....umm...I'm Kouji Katsumoto...and I like to...I LIKE TO WAGG CLASS!!!! YESSSSS!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!! OH YEAH! I RULE! UH-HUH!!! GO KOUJI! GO, GO, GO KOUJI!!!WOO-HOOOOO!!!! AND THE TEACHERS CAN LICK MY BUT FOR ALL I CARE CAUSE IDON'T GIVE A SHI-"he was cut off by the teacher pulling him out of the classroom yelling at him all the way down the corridor. All of the students ran to the door to see what would happen to the strange boy.

Well strangely enough, the boy came back in the fourth subject we had and apologized to the teacher. The teacher nodded in approval and pointed to the desk in front of me; which was empty. When he came I whispered a small "hi" to him. His answer was a small smile. Later on that day, he decided to hang out with us during lunch and we agreed. So the weeks went by and kouji became a part of our group and was basically the source of humor of it (and the clown of the school). And then years went by and now we're here.....strangely enough.....but yeah! '

Kouji placed the pizzas on the table and suddenly, Su-bin was full of life again.

"gaspOMG!!! FOOOOOOOD!!!!O YAAAYY!!!!!" and with one scoop, she took four pieces of pizza at once.

"...umm Su-bin, there're other people who are hungry as well..." said Kouji.

"Oh! Heh!!! Sooooorry!! Blinded by hunger...ya know?"

So we feasted on our lunch and had some coke...a couple of customers and then...it was seven forty-five in no time at all!

"Hey you guys! I need to go now ok? Thank you so much for lunch Kouji!"

"Oh! It was nothing, see ya tomorrow!!"

"BYE-HYYYYYEE!!!! WAIT! DON'T FORGET TO GIVE US A HUG!!!"

I ran up to them and gave them a quick hug.

"See ya tomorrow!!!"

I walked out of the door into the the night. A cool breeze blew upon my face. This was my favorite time of the day. Oh right! I forgot to tell you fellows. I have a night-time job as well as a bar keeper...--'ok you guys must be thinking WTF? But hey! I'm well paid! And that's all that counts right? It's a ten minute walk from the petrol station and I start at eight-thirty so I have heaps of time!

Though, something caught my eye...a flash or something...I dunno what it was I definitely saw something. I decided to ignore it and continue walking.

By the time I got to the bar, it was just about eight-o-clock. The manager greeted me and I went to change. One thing I hated about this job was that I had to wear a skirt...or more like a dress then a skirt but yeah, to me they're the same thing. I was like one of those outfits Ayame-san made. Yes, I do know the manga fruits basket, it's my absolute favorite! He he! So anyway, I got changed and started my job; serving this drunk guy another glass of whiskey.

At one-thirty a.m., I finally finished and the manager let me go home. So here I was again walking home. Taking my time cause I was soooo tired.

Then something caught my eye again! I looked and realized that it was in the same alleyway I had seen before. So, being my curious self, I went over to where I saw this strange thing. When I finally reached my destination, I saw that it was this strange looking bronze plate! It had to Chinese dragons carved into it and other swirly patterns as well. It had some form of kanji in the middle. I think the kanji actually meant "middle".

So I reached down to pick it up, only remembering a blinding light and a sort of "whoosh" sound.

The next thing I knew was that I had a terrible headache!

My eyes opened slowly. I could hear the sound of birds, that's one thing I was sure of. I sat up and looked around.

I was in a forest.....!

So? What did you think of it? this is my first fan fiction so I know it isn't that good, but hey! Ummm...yeah! So please send me some reviews and I don't care if you write any critiques anything offensive!!!! Don't worry I wont be offended! As long as you write something then I'm ok!!!

Ummm...also, if you want to see pictures of yuuri and kouji and su-bin, then just e-mail me and ill send them to you. He! I drew them myself!! I don't think they're that bad....--
