Fruits Basket Fanfic!YAY!
"Everyone, I've got an announcement to make!" Shigure said in a cheerful voice.
"Kyo's moving out?" Yuki said.
"Unfortunatly, no. We're going to have a special visitor coming!" Shigure said happily.
"The suspense is killing me, Shigure, who is it?" Hatsuharu asked.
"You're going to be excited Kyo-kun and Haru-kun! Sonya's coming for a visit!" Shigure said, sounding like an excited child at Christmas.Everyone immediately smiled. Hatsuharu dropped his chopsticks in surprise and Kyo cheered.
"It's going to be nice seeing her again." Yuki said. "It has been like, what, two years since we last saw her."
"Why is she coming,Shigure-san?Is something wrong with her? Last I heard she was doing fine."Hatsuharu asked in a distressed voice.
"A lot has happened since we last saw her.Unfortunately, her father passed away last Christmas.His ex-wife, Sonya's mother, didn't know about the Sohma curse and found out when Sonya tripped and her mother's boyfriend caught her. Her mother shunned her and she left. When she tried to go to her boyfriends house she found him with another woman and she broke up with him right then and there.She's weak from traveling and from her emotinal pain so she should be in her animal form."Shigure explained." Tohru-kun, don't be afraid if you see her, you might be frightned." he warned.
"Why? What animal is she?" Tohru asked.
"You'll see, believe me." Shigure said.
+Around noon the next day (Sunday)+
She walked through the deep forest, her paws thumping dully against the hard earth. Her clothes in her backpack were heavy on her and she felt like throwing them off her back. She walked up to the front door of the Sohma house, but remembered she couldn't knock. Insteaad she walked around the house until she saw one of the paper doors open. When she jumped nimbly on the patio, she noticed that there was someone else in the room with Yuki, a girl nontheless. The girl looked to her left and screamed."Aieeeee! Wolf!" she screamed.
Yuki's head turned to the canine in the door.He immediately ran up to her, trying to get her to face him."Sonya? You're running a fever. You don't look good." he said.
He was right. Sonya's usually lusturous white fur was sort of dull and shabby and matted. Her usually golden eyes were practically lifeless. She whimpered. Yuki stood up and got Shigure. They put her on a warm blanket in a corner to give the feeling of security. Shigure sat next to her, petting her head and trying to coax life and strength into her. " Shigure, a wolf's not in the zoidac is it?" Tohru asked.
"No, but she would have been. She represents the valiant wolf, though she doesn't look so valiant right now."he said. Sonya snapped at his hand which he pulled away in time." I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, Sonya-kun.There are no tales of her like the cat, but her spirit supposedly didn't want to attend the banquet, being a lone wolf." Shigure explained. Hatori sat in front of Sonya, checking her heartbeat, her temperature, blood pressure.Shigure had called Hatori once Sonya had appeared to see them, and Hatori rushed over, not having seen her for her check-ups in two years.
"She should be ok. She just needs rest and a warm caring household. Maybe some food too. Sonya? Will you talk for us? You haven't said a word since you arrived." Hatori said. She just looked at him in despair. He scooped her upper body into his arms, trying to give her strength, trying to give her hope and love. Tohru could tell that she was precious to the Sohma family. Sonya looked up at him.
"I want...to see Haru-kun." she said in a cracked voice.
"Sure." Hatori said, letting her go and leading her to where Haru was talking to Yuki."Haru-san, Sonya wants to speak with you privately." Hatori said. Hatori gave Haru Sonya's clothing just in case. Haru nodded and led Sonya into the woods.Once they were far enough from the house, Haru plopped down at the bottom of a tree and looked at the white wolf sitting before him.
"Shigure told me about what happened." Haru said. " I also found out about you and your ex-boyfriend. Your 'mistake' as Shigure called it." Sonya's ears pressed against her skull.
"It was a mistake.He told me he loved me..." she said
"My deepest sympathies about your father. He was a good man. Even though he knew about the Sohma curse he treated you like an equal. I wish I had met him, just once." he said. " You have to have courage. In us and in yourself, we all love you, even if no one else will. You have to remember, we will always be here for you." he said, hugging her. Her head was over his shoulder. her ears still pinned to her head. A POOF came next thing Haru knew, he was holding a naked girl in his arms. He put his hand over her eyes and gave her her clothing.
She emerged from behind a tree wearing a tight black shirt and baggy green pants with about six chains, three on each side, hanging off them. Her long white hair was in a braid down her back and her blue eyes had a bit of a sparkle back in them. Hatsuharu smiled. "Guess you got some of your strength back, huh?" he asked.
"Yeah, thanks to you." she said, a blush spreading across her cheeks. He chuckled at her blushing.
"It's almost dinner time, you wanna go back?" he asked. She nodded. They walked back to the house and everyone smiled when they saw her in her human form once again.
"Oh!You must be Sonya-san!Pleased to meet you, I'm Thoru!" Tohru said in her usual loud and happy voice. Sonya grabbed Haru's upper arm and cowered.
"Tohru, you must take it easy with Sonya at the moment she's shy right now what with everything happening and all. Let Sonya eat and go to bed and we'll see if she comes around. Does that sound allright Sonya?" Shigure said. Sonya nodded. She sat in between Yuki and Haru, quietly eating her dinner. The boys made sure she was okay through dinner and then she said thank you and went to bed.
First chap! Tell me how ya like it!
