Not Me
Disclaimer: There are times I wish Fruits Basket was mine...but it belongs to someone else. Someone NOT ME!
Why do I persist in mocking my own stories? WHY?
By The Way...there are some spoilers down at the bottom, so if you don't want something ruined for you—say if you haven't read past volume 11 or so—than I suggest you either skip the author's notes or just not read this story.
There are times when your eyes go blank and I know you are thinking of someone else.
There are times when you look at me but you don't see me...you are seeing someone else.
There are times when you kiss me like never have—like you want to, like you need me, you want me, only me—not just because I ordered you to...and I know you are wishing I was someone else.
There are times in your sleep when you cry without waking, and I know you are dreaming of someone else.
Someone not me.
Who? Who is she? Who is it that has stolen you away?
Kureno...who is it that you love?

Author's Notes: Akito's a girl. It's time it was said. Volume 17—Akito is revealed to have breasts. She is female. So this is in HER point of view. In case anyone was confused.
Arisa is the one who has 'stolen' Kureno away, by the way. I'm a huge Arisa/Kureno fan. And a Shigure/Akito fan. They rock.
Anyway, this is a more sentimental side of Akito than I guess is usually seen. I'd like to think she's nicer to him in private and that, deep down; she really does sort of love him. Well, enough to be jealous and a little hurt. Okay, she'd get jealous no matter what. She's just possessive like that. But she loves him—really loves him—enough to be a little hurt. Er...that's how I see it. So this is set around volume 17 or so.
Ahem. To prevent these Author's Notes from getting longer than the story itself—again!—I will end here with a: Review? Pretty please? Pretty please with cherries and sprinkles—JIMMIES!—and whipped cream on top? Do you prefer caramel or hot fudge sauce on that?
