I don't own the Fruits Basket characters, though I wish I was brilliant enough to come up with such awesome characters.
School
"Everybody I would like you to meet Charlie Chihiro! He's an American transfer student!" announced Mayu-chan Sensei.
A tall blonde hair boy stood at the front of the room beside Mayu.
"Hi! You can all call me Charlie. I'm half American half Japanese. I moved here from America," Charlie told the class.
"Any questions for Charlie?" asked Mayu-chan Sensei.
"Why did you come to Japan?" asked Uo.
"My father's job," answered Charlie.
"What's America like?" another student asked.
"It's so different from Japan," replied Charlie.
"Is that all? Good! Charlie you are going to sit next to Tohru and in front of Yuki," directed Mayu-chan.
"Thanks," Charlie told Sensei. (Sensei, Mayu-chan, Mayu-chan Sensei same thing)
"Hello," greeted Charlie to Tohru.
"Hello pleased to meet you," Tohru greeted back.
Yuki frowned at the blonde-haired boy. He wasn't ugly but not good-looking either. Charlie took his seat and class began. Yuki watched Charlie whisper things to Tohru and heard her sweet giggle as she blushed each time Charlie told her something. He saw Charlie passing notes to Tohru and even saw Tohru pass a note back. "What is she doing? What's the note about? Does she like him?" Thoughts flooded Yuki's head. A scowl ran across his lips. He had a feeling that he wouldn't like this Charlie very much…
"What is Yuki's problem? Why does he look like he's angry with me?" Charlie wrote to Tohru.
"Sohma-kun just doesn't know you yet. I'm sure you guys will be good friends." Tohru wrote back.
Kyo was angry with Charlie too. "How dare he become friends with Tohru before me?" wondered Kyo.
The bell rang and class was over. As Yuki gathered up his things to leave he heard someone calling his name.
"Yuki, that's your name right?" asked Charlie.
Yuki forced a smile because Tohru was watching and said, "Yes."
"Great! I hope we can be friends!" exclaimed Charlie.
Yuki had a fire of hate burning inside him for this guy he barely met. Seeing how uncomfortable Yuki was Kyo decided to help him this one time.
"Yuki let's go!" shouted Kyo.
"Got to go, good bye Charlie, Honda-san," Yuki said heading towards Kyo.
As soon as Yuki and Kyo were gone the Yuki Fan club girls approached them.
"Who do you think you are talking to Yuki like that!" Motoko scolded Charlie.
"Yeah!" agreed the other Yuki fan club girls.
"Uh… sorry… Who are you?" asked Charlie.
"We're the Yuki fan club! And since you are new we'll let you off with a warning. But next time don't ever speak to our prince again!" shouted Motoko.
The four girls stormed out the room quickly without another word.
"Don't worry," Tohru said as she led Charlie out of the classroom.
"What's that about?" Charlie asked Tohru.
"Oh! I forgot you're new so you don't know about Yuki…" answered Tohru.
"What's so special about him?" questioned Charlie.
"He's the prince of our high school. He even has his own annoying fan club," replied Haru who was standing outside the room.
"Huh? Oh, hi my name's Charlie. I'm new here," Charlie told Haru.
"I'm Haru, Yuki's younger cousin," replied Haru.
"Nice to meet you Hatsuharu-san, I'm Tohru," greeted Tohru.
"Pleased to meet you," answered Haru bowing to the two of them.
"Haruuuuuuuuu!" called Momiji.
"What?" asked Haru.
"Oh! Hello I'm Momiji! Haru and Yuki's cousin!" Momiji introduced himself happily with a wide grin.
"Charlie," responded Charlie.
"My name is Tohru, pleased to meet you Momiji-kun," answered Tohru.
"You're in high school?" asked Charlie with a shocked face.
"Yep! I'm the same age as Haru," replied Momiji standing proudly beside the ox.
"Momiji, what did you want?" Haru asked Momiji.
"Oh! Yuki … doesn't feel well?" Momiji responded.
"Why didn't you say so sooner! Let's go!" Haru said running down the hall as Momiji followed him.
"How many cousins does Yuki have here?" asked Charlie.
"One more, Kyo-kun. He was the one who called Yuki-kun over earlier," answered Tohru.
"That's a lot. I guess for me. I only have a sister," Charlie told Tohru.
Uo and Hana spotted them down the hall.
"Tohruuu!" called Uo.
"Uo-chan! Hana-chan!" shouted Tohru waving to them.
----------------------------------------------------------
"What's wrong with Yuki?" Haru asked Momiji as they ran.
"Nothing! I was just worried that Tohru might remember something," replied Momiji.
"WHAT! Couldn't you have told me sooner!" yelled Haru as he abruptly stopped running.
"I forgot," answered Momiji innocently.
"But isn't it a good thing if Tohru remembers?" questioned Haru.
"I don't know, but it would be complicated," commented Momiji.
"True but what about Yuki?"
Momiji didn't respond. He didn't have an answer, none of them did.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"How was school Yuki?" asked Shigure setting down his newspaper as Yuki entered.
"There's a new student, Charlie," responded Yuki as he headed to his room.
He slammed the door shut and he dropped onto his bed sobbing. "What if Tohru falls in love with Charlie?"
"That's the pain of a broken heart," Ayame said worriedly.
"I'm pretty sure Charlie likes Tohru," Kyo told them as he sat down at the table.
"Poor Yuki," whispered Ayame.
"Why are you still here! Don't you have a shop to run? " asked Kyo full of annoyance.
"I'm here to help Yuki and to make sure that the house doesn't get so dirty again. I'll leave when I feel like Yuki is "normal" again," answered Ayame.
"The house IS a dump again!" shouted Kyo.
Garbage coated the kitchen once again in a large mountain and dirty dishes pilled up the sink. Empty take out cartons were scattered across the floor and counter. A unique scent lingered.
"Don't worry Kyo-kun I'm here to take care of this house," sang Kagura as she twirled around happily.
"What are you doing here!" Kyo cried angrily.
"How's Yuki-kun?" asked Kagura her grey eyes filled with concern.
"We're not sure," answered Shigure.
"At least that'll never happen to us Kyo-kun," Kagura whispered as she hugged Kyo hard enough to kill him.
"Let… Go… Of… Me!" gasped Kyo trying to remove her arms.
"Tohru. What's going to happen to our love? Did you give up on it? Please try to remember! Don't leave me. I won't be able to live if you love Charlie more then me!" Yuki cried silently.
"I wonder how Sohma-kun is, is he okay. Momiji said he wasn't well earlier, I hope he comes to school tomorrow. I wonder why I can't stop thinking about Sohma-kun. He seems so sad," thought Tohru as she fell asleep.
"Remember Tohru. Please Remember. I want to hear you say you love me again, even if it's just one more time. I want you to know how much I love you," whispered Yuki playing with the ring he bought for Tohru.
He had bought the ring a couple of days after he had confessed to her. Maybe they hadn't dated that long but he knew that he would never love another girl in his entire life. Yuki was ready to be with her forever.
"I wanted you to marry me…"
The next day
Tohru, Uo and Hana were sitting outside eating their lunch together as usual.
"Tohru, what a pretty necklace," commented Hana noticing the shining gold.
"Ooh! That is pretty! Who got it for you! It looks expensive is it real gold?" asked Uo. (f.y.i. it's the necklace Yuki gave to Tohru)
"I don't remember…" responded Tohru biting her lip.
"It really is pretty. We should ask the jewelry store if they have anymore," decided Uo.
"Uo do you even have enough money? That's real gold and a real diamond!" exclaimed Hana.
"What! Then I'll buy a fake one. Let's go after school today," Uo told them.
"Okay!" answered Tohru.
"I'll go," Hana said as she continued to eat her lunch.
At the Jewelry store-----------------------------------------------------------
The three girls entered the expensive looking store, peering around before they went up to the counter.
"May I help you young ladies?" asked the man.
"Sir, do you have another one of this necklace?" Uo asked the clerk pointing to the necklace around Tohru's neck.
"I'm sorry we only had two. A young man bought them a few weeks ago," answered the clerk.
"What! Only two. A young man? A couple weeks ago? How could that be?" asked Uo.
"How old was this man?" asked Hana with an expressionless face.
"I would guess he's in high school," said the man.
"Tohru who's your boyfriend?" teased Uo.
"I don't remember anyone giving it to me," Tohru said biting her lip.
She seemed very confused and lost lightly. Hana and Uo were growing a little suspicious.
"He bought them both?" asked Hana.
"They're a pair. A set for two lovers, to keep them close forever. They're original and were very expensive. If you're looking for this man he has to be rich. Or you could look for the other necklace," the clerk told them.
"Maybe we will, if he's in high school he might be in the same one as us," said Hana.
"Yeah we have to find Tohru's secret admirer," agreed Uo.
Tohru stayed silent. "How could I forget this man? It was only a couple of weeks ago. It almost seems unnatural for me to forget this."
