Summary:

This is a crossover between Samurai Deeper Kyo and Fruits Basket.

Yuya Shiina is an average girl who attends high school just like any average girl would do. However, when she becomes partnered up with a boy named Akira Mibu, she encounters a family secret that turns her world upside down and beats it with a stick.

Golden strands flew about in the breeze, twisting and entwining, like a glorious dance in the daylight. Quick, light footsteps echoed between the tall concrete walls that formed a gigantic labyrinth for miles. I'm almost there! Just a little ways more! The towering walls that prohibited her from looking left and right gave way to a huge, black gate that was closing! "WAIT!"

A man with short, black hair stopped the gates to allow the girl to enter. "That was a close one." Yuya, expecting the gates to close had attempted to slide in at the last moment, but instead tripped over the gentleman's foot, face-planting straight into the walkway. The man bent down and poked her motionless body. "Are you alright?"

Yuya looked up and met his concerned look with a beet-red face. She then jumped up and bowed, her hand pressed gently against her chest. "Th-thank you, sir. I'm so sorry."

"There is no need to apologize." He looked up at the clock tower. "You'd better hurry, it seems classes are about to begin." He smiled once again. Wow, he's handsome! Yuya blushed, bowed once again, and then made her way to class.

He simply stood there, watching her make her way to class, a grin spreading farther across his face. "This will be a good day indeed!" He blushed with excitement and skipped merrily into the building, singing a repetitive tune that would make anyone shiver in fear, "High school girls! High school girls! La la la! High school girls!"

Yuya dashed to class, huffing and puffing from her exhaustion. I mustn't give up! I'm almost there! She rounded a corner and then another. Then a sigh of relief reached her lips as she slowed down to a halt to open the sliding door to her classroom. I hope I'm not too late. She entered and everyone turned to face her. Embarrassed at the sudden attention, she took her seat next to her best friends, Uo and Hana.

"Miss Shiina, glad you could join us. We were just in the middle of picking partners for our group assignment." Her hand moved along her desk displaying a set of eggs sitting in a carton.

Uo bent over from the desk behind her and whispered into her ear, "This project sucks, because we have to partner up with boys. Remember, Yuya. Just say the word, and I'll take care of em' for ya!" Yuya let out a struggled laugh, a tear drop forming on her face, at the thought of what Uo would do once the partners were picked. She remembered a time when Uo 'ruffed someone up' just because they looked at Yuya 'suspiciously.' Yuya never quite understood what Uo meant, but went along with it anyway. With that in mind, Yuya then glanced over at Hana, sitting to her right. She felt a sudden chill bristle its way up and down her spine. She didn't even want to think about what would happen if Hana decided to join in on the action.

The sound of the sliding door jolted her from her thoughts. "Ah, Mr. Mibu. It seems everyone is coming in late today," said their sensei in a slightly irritated tone.

"I am terribly sorry." A boy with extremely light, blonde hair bowed at the entrance and made his way gracefully to his seat. Three of the girls in the class squealed upon hearing his gentle voice.

"Looks like the fan club is at it again." Uo rested her head on the palm of her left hand, glaring at the three girls who shot a suspicious glance at Yuya. The three girls cowered away at the yankee's gaze. "Seems there are all kinds of trouble today, eh, Hana?"

Hana turned her head slowly towards Yuya and Uo and nodded. "I'm receiving strange electric signals." She turned her head more towards Yuya. "Be careful, Yuya-chan."

Yuya's face became blank as she let out her struggled laugh, once again. Then she snapped up upon hearing the firm voice of their sensei call her name. "Shiina Yuya-san. Let's see. You will be partnered with," she scanned the room and nodded when she came to a conclusion, "Mibu Akira-san."

Yuya's eyes grew huge at hearing the pairing, and she felt the grinding of teeth coming from Uo. She then glanced over at Akira and received that prince-like smile all the fan girls swooned over. Yuya blushed then glanced over at the three fan girls in the corner, receiving a death-like glare. She felt the hairs stand on her arms as a fizzle of electricity emitted itself from Hana. The fan girls shivered in fear.

Their sensei finished the pairings and began giving instructions on how this project worked. Much to Yuya, Uo, and Hana's dismay the project must be done outside of class...that meant...Yuya had to go to Akira's house! In turn, she would be haunted forever by the fan club girls! This day couldn't get much worse! Then again... Yuya looked over at Akira once again. This could be the start of a new friendship.

After parting from Uo and Hana at the school gate, Yuya made her way back home, trying her best to avoid the freakish fan club that sought her life. She huddled closer to her bag, as if receiving comfort from having some sort of 'weapon' to defend herself with. Please, don't let it come to that. She shut her eyes tightly and bumped into the back of nearly the last person she wanted to meet (the last of which would be any member of the fan club). Yuya glanced up and met his heart-warming smile, blushing profusely. No wonder they adore him so much... She shook her head, immediately casting away the thought of stampeding fan girls in a rising tide behind her. "Oh, I-I'm sorry, A-Akira-san." She kept her head low and gripped onto her bag tighter.

"Why, hello Yuya-san. You should be more careful where you're walking. You might end up hurt." She looked up at his face once again and her blush grew deeper.

"I-I-I will!" She gripped harder onto her bag, her knuckles turning whiter and whiter with every second.

Yuya felt a gentle touch on her shoulder, and the next thing she knew Akira's face was only an inch away from her own. In his gentle voice he calmed her into just a slight flush of her cheeks, "Sensei gave me the egg to handle for a while, so how about we work on the project at my house first." He held out the egg with his right arm and, kept his left hand on her right shoulder. "That is, if that's alright with you, Shiina-san."

Yuya jumped back, started from being so close to the "prince" of their school. If the fan girls found out about this...she would be doomed! She waved her arms and began talking really fast, "Uhm, yeah! That's alright with me! I mean, I don't want to intrude in your house or anything, but I also don't want to leave you with all the responsibility for this project! So...uh...I, yeah!"

Akira let out a slight laugh and smiled. "Alright, my house is this way. Come with me."

Author's note:


A thought just randomly came to me one day that made me think about the Samurai Deeper Kyo cast if they were cursed like the Sohma family from Fruits Basket! Then another thought randomly came to me about how a lot of the characters from the Fruits Basket zodiac remind me so much of characters from the SDK manga (I'm not much of a fan of the anime...sorry, guys). However, not all the characters fit (most of the problem is caused by there not being enough major characters in one compared to the other). For example, there aren't that many girls in the SDK manga, so Uo and Hana had to be used in this fic as opposed to a complete set of SDK characters. And I love those two characters and feel that Yuya deserves to have a few friends, haha.

Anyway, this is the first fic I've ever submitted, and I don't mind how harsh the crit can be, so please critique all you want. Let me know if this is a good idea and if I should continue!

Thank you for reading!
