I failed to mention in chapter one a disclaimer. Sorry.
Disclaimer: I never have, do not, and never will own Fruits Basket or any of it's characters, themes, ideas or settings, blah etc etc yay. (but I can wish right?)
Here is chapter two. More setting up of the main part of the story. Like I said, this is my first fanfiction…And I am not very good at plots. Flashbacks are fun though...Perhaps I shall put one in this chapter...But anyways…Tell me how you feel about the story.
9 P.M.
Kyo sat on the rooftop of the home he shared wit Shigure, Yuki, Tohru, and whatever other Sohma that happened to pass through. Kyo made the roof his own sanctuary, much like Yuki's garden. "What a pansy." Kyo muttered, laying back on the smooth ash-gray roof tiles. Kyo loved stretching out up here in the sun -much like the vengeful spirit of the cat from the zodiac stories that possessed his body- and sleep or think.
Currently at 9 P.M, the stars visible in the crisp night winter sky twinkled at him, the moon shone soft light on Kyo's face accentuating his beautiful features. (Yes, Kyo IS my favorite.) He pondered everything about earlier that day. Tohru…Arisa…Hana…Yuki…Shigure…
-FLASHBACK-
"What would you like for dinner everyone?" Tohru called out to the men of the house.
"Is our little flower home from school?" Shigure inquired, stretching as he emerged from his study. "So. There's going to be a dance at your school soon, eh?"
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THAT?" Kyo yelled.
"Yes. In a week there will be a winter dance." Yuki said simply.
"Ah I see…So… Who are you youngsters taking?" Shigure slyly probed.
"WHO THE HELL TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT?" Kyo tried again.
"Well…" Yuki blushed. "I am taking Tohru"
Kyo grumbled at this.
"I see." Shigure was silent for a moment. "YUKI AND TOHRU SITTING IN A TREE…" He pranced around the kitchen in circles, looking silly dancing in his kimono.
"SHUT UP!" Kyo yelled and hit Shigure on the back of his head with his fist, silencing the older man.
"Kyon-kyon, you're no fun!" Shigure pouted.
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT?" Kyo yelled.
-END FLASHBACK-
"Stupid dog." Kyo mumbled as he drifted off to sleep under the starry night sky. "The stars…They are the only ones I can trust…Not anyone from school, not Shigure…Not Tohru…And certainly not that damn…Yuki…"
9 P.M.
Arisa sat on the roof of her own home. She was lying down watching the stars. Time passed and Arisa remained silent. She closed her eyes and released a deep breath. What a day. Why would I feel like that towards KYO of all people? "Argh! He isn't my type at all. He likes to fight way too much. Especially with Yuki." Look who's talking. "Well he's just not right for me." Arisa snapped at herself. She plastered a disgusted look on her face and went back to stargazing. Shortly after, she sat up and pulled her knees to her chest.
The next day at school
Kyo avoided Arisa, and Arisa avoided Kyo, perplexing poor Tohru. She tried getting them to play cards with her and Yuki, but both stubbornly refused. Arisa burrowed into a history book,(ever since Tohru's mom helped Uo out, she has been working hard in school.) and Kyo doodled in his notebook.
"Uo-chan?…" Hana began when she glided over towards Arisa. "May I speak with you?…Outside?…Alone?"
"Sure Hana-chan" Uo laughed nervously.
Hana glided out the door and Arisa trudged behind like a prisoner waiting to be executed. (Yay simile!) Once the two were outside the classroom door, Hana finally said what Uo dreaded most to hear.
"Uotani-chan…I know…about your feelings for Kyo. When were you going to tell Tohru and I?"
"What feelings for him? The only feelings I have towards him are the ones that tell me if he ever mistreats Tohru, he'll get his ass whooped by me!"
"Uo, you of all people should know, there's no use hiding from me…Waves do not lie…Let us return to class…"
Grumbling, Arisa returned to her seat. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Kyo studying. Arisa had never seen him so serious. Flustered at herself for letting her emotions get away with her, Uo hastily sat down.
Later that day, Lunch time (Yum!)
"Ok so dish, who's the lucky boy taking you to the dance?" Arisa said in her usual haughty voice.
"Well…Uh Yuki-kun is…But I'm not sure what I am going to wear. I can't afford a new dress, and Ayame-san is booked for months-"
"Who knows what that pervert would make for you…" Kyo interrupted, snickering.
SMACK!
Yuki had hit Kyo in the back of the head.
"Don't think about that, YOU'RE the pervert."
"Am NOT!"
"Are too!"
"Jeez guys! You fight like an old married couple!" Uotani tried to repress their fight.
"WE DO NOT!" Shouted both boys in unison.
"Whatever. Well Tohru-chan, you should come to my house for a little bit before Hana and I come by yours, we can find you a dress and I gotta pick up my bedclothes too." Uo ignored the boys, who continued squabbling.
"Oh Uotani-chan! You are much too kind! Really!"
"It's no big deal. What are friends for anyway?"
So… There's chapter two! I am not very good at ending chapters…Hehe… The story has not quite picked up yet, but next chapter is sure to! Please leave me a review! Good or bad, I don't mind!
