A/N: When you're done reading my story please review! I've only had one person.

Oh and I would love for someone to email me a character they would like me to

add. I would love to do that. Saru needs a friend, I'll even make them

a zodiac.

Name- Saru Neeka (she's a sohma but her grandma said she was an insult to be a sohma so she was forced to change her last name)

Age- 17

Hair- pitch-black cut short like some guys (like Kyo)Eye- Yellow

Height- 163

Weight- 50 kg

Blood type- O

Sign- Pisces

Animal- Panther

Occupation- Sophomore

History- Anybody born on Feb. 29th is considered to be born the year of the panther. The panther (in a nut shell) hung out with the cat on the day of the zodiac meeting and missed it to.

Saru has a "don't mess with me attitude." She's very gothic, but very smart. Everything she says sounds rude and disrespectful, but she doesn't mean it to (most of the time). She doesn't change when she has contact with the opposite gender. The only people she trusts are Kyo-Kun, Hatori-Kun, Momiji-Kun, Hatsuharu-Kun, and Yuki-Kun. She's very tom-boyish.

Fruits Basket Chapter 1: The Panther

Saru stared out a window of a bus, that was heading to Kaibara.

Kaibara was where most of her family was located. She thought if she went there she could get away from her great amount of boredom.

The bus went to a complete stop and the bus driver announced, "Kaibara High School,"

Saru grabbed her stuff, got up and off the bus. Then she stopped and looked at the school.

'Ugly, pitiful, stupid, school,' Saru thought with a frown on her face, spitting out a piece of gum, and putting a new piece in.

Then she continued on and went inside the school. When she got there, she noticed no one was in the hallways, not even a kid that was skipping class.

'Weird, does everyone go to class?" Saru thought.

Then she noticed the office. She went inside and up to the front desk. There was a plump old woman sitting at it.

"I want to join Kaibara High School," Saru stated sitting in the chair in front of the desk and putting her feet on the desk.

The woman pushed Saru's feet off the desk and said sweetly, while getting a piece of paper and a pen, "Okay, dear. Just fill out the paper and pay the hundred yen fee and you'll be on your way,"

Saru took the sheet and filled it out. Then she got out her wallet, got out a one-hundred yen, and handed both to the lady. The lady took it and typed the information up in the computer.

"Nice to meet you, Saru Neeka. I see you already passed the exam and payed the fee for the year. That makes it easier. I'll go back and get your uniform," the old lady smiled getting up and going behind a wall.

She came back shortly with a skimpy blue and white uniform. Saru sighed and took it. Then the lady printed out something and handed it to Saru.

"Here's your schedule. The first class on the paper is right across from here. You're only thirty minutes late. You still have an hour left. Your locker is number one twenty-two. It's next to the class. The combination is on the piece of paper. Oh, and the bathroom is to your right, when you step out of here," the woman informed.

Saru nodded and walked to the bathroom. She went in a stall and changed.

As she stepped out, she thought, 'How can girls' stand these? These cloths are nasty, skimpy, disgusting, vile, sexist, and any other bad word I can think of,'

Then she walked to her locker, opened it, stuffed all her stuff in it, got out her binder, and went to her classroom. No one was teaching, but there were lots of tables with students huddled around them. A man looked around when the door closed. He walked up to Saru. She suspected it was the teacher.

"And who are you?" the teacher asked.

"Saru Neeka," Saru replied.

"Nice to meet you. We're working on the plans for the Halloween Dance. You can join us and help out," The teacher suggested.

Saru walked over to the table and sat down.

"Hi," Tohru smiled.

Saru looked at her and then looked back at her binder. She started to draw a girl covered in blood. Then she colored it in.

"We still need the person to draw all the scary things," Yuki stated.

Everyone looked at Saru's drawings. Saru noticed and looked up.

"What?" Saru asked.

"Will you be our artist," Yuki asked.

"No," Saru replied.

All the girls around her, but Tohru, ran up to her and pulled her out of her chair.

"Hey, let go of me!" Saru yelled.

"You must never say no to Prince Yuki," a girl told her as they threw her against a wall.

"Prince Yuki!" Saru asked shocked.

"He's the most handsome person in the whole world," another girl stated.

They all turned and looked at Yuki. Then they all sighed. Yuki looked over at them and then they looked away.

"You must follow the rules of the Prince Yuki Club," a tall girl said.

"No," Saru replied.

"What did you say!" the girls yelled

"You girls don't scare me," Saru hissed.

"Really? We'll show you what to be scared of" a girl hissed back.

"Doubt it," Saru said and then yawned.

"We'll beat you up," another girl claimed.

"Anytime, anywhere" Saru replied.

"Fine, Three-thirty at the park," a girl stated.

"Sounds great, but just so I know, is it one on one or thirty to one?" Saru asked.

"We should be fair. It's rude to gang up on someone. One on one, but you'll have to face all the girls in the club," the tall girl stated.

Saru nodded and walked back to the table.

"Neeka-San will you please be our drawer. We need one and we don't have enough time to look for one," Tohru pleaded.

'A whole gang of Yuki loving girls don't scare me, but this girl does,' Saru thought and then replied, "Fine,"

"Oh, thank you," Tohru smiled.

"What do I need to draw?" Saru asked.

"Here's the list. It has the size and color preference. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me," Yuki stated handing Saru a piece of paper.

Saru took it and looked at it. Then she took out some sheets of computer paper. She drew rough drafts of everything on the list. Then she colored them in. Everyone at the table was talking, but Saru didn't listen. The bell rang and everyone got up and left. Yuki walked up to Saru.

"How are you doing on the drawings?" Yuki asked.

"...good," Saru replied.

They both walked to Art class.

"That's great that you have Art," Yuki commented with a smiled.

"Yuki, oh Yuki," a girl yelled smiling and waving.

"Oh god," Yuki whispered and then responded, "Hello, Soota-San,"
