Okay this is my first fanfic that I posted online so don't be too mean about it! Please make suggestions or whatever though! But, I'm only going to post a chapter or two for the moment because my arm still hurts from some meningitis shot I took today.

Note: I was going to make the main character's mom dead but that was too depressing!

Disclaimer: I only own characters that are not from Fruits Basket! So don't even think about suing me unless it's for a penny or two!

My Bootleg Life and Astrological Signs

My life is already jacked up as it is. But, my mother well actually my father was the one to decide that it was time for me to go live with my dad! I remember our exact conversation.

Flashback

"Naomi? I have something important to tell you" mother said.

"Uh okay, shoot." I answered.

"Your father called the other night…" She started.

"And?" I inquired.

"You know how I was telling you before that one day you will have to live with him?" she said as she looked off into the distance

"Yes, mom?"I asked. This conversation was not looking good.

"Well, now's that time…" She said while turning to look at me with an awkward smile on her face.

End of Flashback

Somehow, I ended up in Japan. Actually, my father whom I disliked very much lived there. So, of course that was where I was forced to move to. From the only house and town that I had known for my entire life to go off into the unknown. I didn't even remember how he looked like! My only memories of him were blurry. I thought as I was waiting for him in the airport. Right now, I was in some baggy dark gray fleece pants with some black timberland's and wearing a Roca bag. I also, was wearing a dark grey fleece jacket with black tank top underneath. I wanted to scare him. I wanted to make him sleep with one eye open tonight from fearing me. Plus, what I was wearing now looked much better then that kiddish sundress outfit mom told me to wear, but I changed on the plane. But, maybe looking thugged out was giving us a false stereotype of black people. One of the flight attendants was watching me down, like I was going to steal something! I did take a pillow but still…

After 20 minutes I was still waiting for that man who was my father. As I said before I don't like him. I ignored that half of me or at least tried to deny it. I was half and half. Half Black, Caribbean to be exact and half Japanese. My father sent me money ever since he left to put me in a Japanese school that I attended every Saturday morning. I needed to learn his language he said. I even tried to get my mom to bail me out of it but she said that I need to understand he's language and culture because I'm going to have to move there someday. Also, he only talked to me on the phone! I never saw him in person or his picture! He also, sent money to me on my birthday and holidays and gave me expensive presents. I usually just gave them to my best friend, Valencia though.

I looked up. Finally he's here! I know I just said that I never saw him before but I just knew it was him. He was very tall and I was only a couple inches shorter. He also had 'my eyes' as my mom said. Our eyes are like a light brown turquoise colour. He was wearing a very expensive business suit. He then saw me.

"Naomi? I'm sorry I'm late. I had some work to do at the office." he asked.

He also happened to be the one to name me so I would rather go by my middle name, Charlene, but my mom said something about how I shouldn't be denying my blood relations. I now just go by my nickname, Nomi. The man just kind of squirmed at my appearance. My diabolical plan didn't work! Oh well!

"I suppose I am, and don't sweat it." I tried to say kindly.

Even though my mom taught me to respect my elders, even if I didn't like them. Then I noticed that there was a driver with them. He picked up my suitcases.

"Thank you" I said.

He didn't say anything. Some more of my stuff will be arriving tomorrow. We walked to the car. It was a Rolls-Royce. It would have been cool if it was pink. I could be like Lady Penelope! But then I just realized how loaded my dad is! All, this time I thought he was just trying to buy my love, but it was really because he was just rich. We drove in silence (I was trying to keep myself awake) and finally reached he's expensive condo, bachelor pad thingy. I tried to open my door but the driver got to it first. I said thanks and got out. The driver took out my luggage and gave it to the doorman. Yes, they have a door man! My father dearest, apologized because he had to go back to the office (it was Sunday y the way) to finish some work. He even said that the maids will take care of me! But, I was fine with that. It's not like I want to be there or have him around. I grinned evilly.

"That's all right, Go do your work and come home safely, Haruko!" I said as the doorman took my luggage inside.

For many years he's been trying to get me to call him dad, father, or whatever else on the phone. But, I never complied. He looked hurt when I said to him. It almost made me feel guilty. He said bye and left. I went inside the building. Some lady was in the building who told me she was going to take care of me. Some people aka Haruko, thought I was still five-years old. She took me to my room. Since I had a super long day, I couldn't even admire my room. I just kind of passed out on my bed.

'Stupid Jetlag.' I thought.

The last thing I heard was something about school.

To be continued…
