Fruits Basket:
Chapter 1Summary: When 16 year-old Alicia somehow gets transported into the world of 'Fruits Basket' she has to deal with her favorite Manga brought to life!
Alicia dropped the pile of boxes on the floor of the shop she was working at and cut open the box, spinning the box cutter in her hand she then slid it into her back pocket. She grabbed out the new Manga and put it on the shelves, in chronological order. She stopped when she saw Fruits Basket number 14!
"Oh my god!" She muttered as she stood up and ran to the counter. "KIMMY!" She yelled as the older woman looked in pain and rubbed her ear. "LOOK IT'S THE NEW FRUITS BASKET!"
Kimmy waited a second, looked confused then screamed 'What!' at Alicia. After shaking her head and snatching the book she replied. "Yeah you idiot! God, you've known about this since number 13 came out."
"I have?" This question got the book throw at her head.
"Duh! God your empty! Finish putting the books on the shelves and get ready to open the doors." Kimmy said. "Oh and in honor of the new book, you have to wear this." Kimmy threw a blue sailor suit uniform at Alicia.
"Its Tohru's school uniform!"
"Don't forget the wig."
"Kay," Alicia nodded and quickly finished putting the Manga on the shelves then went in back to change. "Um…Kimmy," Alicia said.
"Yeah what?"
"The skirts a little short." She said opening the door all the way to show her. Kimmy held her chin and looked at if she was thinking about what to do. With a shrug she grabbed Alicia's arm and the wig and pulled her out to the front of the store. Throwing the wig on Alicia's head she then gave Alicia some flyers and smiled.
"Should have had done something sooner." Kimmy smiled as she opened the gate then unlocked the doors and opened them. "Don't forget to smile." She teased as a group of fanboys, and girls, ran into the store and straight to Alicia.
"Hi…welcome to TokyoPop's….store!" She said as she fell over from people pushing her.
Once the fans where more spread out threw the store and Kimmy had gotten a break she went over to Alicia and squatted down next to her. "Ouch that looks like it's going to hurt." She remarked as she looked at the bruising footprint on Alicia's thigh.
"Stop being a smart ass and help me up!" Alicia said as she held out her hand for Kimmy to take, which she did. After helping Alicia up Kimmy went back to the counter stocked Alicia back up with flyers and then continued to check out people.
6 hours later and Allen, Shawn and KP all showed up. Allen got dressed as Kyo, Shawn got dressed as Yuki and KP got dressed as Kisa.
"'Bout time you guys got here!" Alicia said as she watched the other people get swarmed with just as many people. A few girls tried to kiss Allen and Shawn, but they got away with out any marks.
As Kimmy pushed the last of the fangirls and fanboys out everyone sighed. "Well I think that was one of our best sells yet."
"Are there any left?" Alicia asked Kimmy as she took her wig off.
"Yes, yes," Kimmy sighed as she went behind the counter and got ready to ring up all the things Alicia was going to buy. As Alicia started to unzip her uniform she shouted over her shoulder.
"Can I have the cosplay uniform?"
"NO!"
Alicia frowned. "Fine." She pouted as she changed her clothes. As she slipped on her shoes she stood up and fixed her pants. The door opened and KP walked in smiling.
"Hey," She smiled starting to take off her outfit.
"Hey, how are you?"
"Good just tired, man those fans can get crazy." KP laughed as she shook her wavy blond hair free from it's bun.
"Yeah well at least you didn't get stepped on." Alicia said as she rubbed her thigh.
"Oh honey, I'm sorry." KP frowned.
"ALICIA! YOUR STUFF IS READY!"
"KAY!" Alicia shouted threw the opened door she turned back to KP and gave a small wave. "See you tomorrow."
"Kay, you too." KP smiled. "Be safe!"
Alicia walked by put the money on the counter and grabbed her bag. "Night guys!" She said to everyone.
"Night Alicia!" They all said back to her. Alicia walked down the sidewalk her IPod around her upper arm, she reached over and changed the song, she smiled. She stopped at a stop sign and frowned, she knew a faster way to her house, she decided to cross going the other way then crossed again running into the thick misty woods.
Alicia fixed her back pack, where she had placed her merchandise earlier, and started to clime over a mossy tree trunk, startling it for a moment she then pushed off and landed on her feet. She made sure her pants where clean, with a bright smile she continued on her way.
About an hour later she frown and looked around her. 'I should be home by now.' She thought to herself as she smiled and decided to jump over a short fallen log, big mistake…
"AHHH!" She screamed as she fell down a slop.
Kyo's ears twitched, Tohru had hugged her only a few minuets before putting him in his cat form.
"AHHH!" Kyo jumped up and froze he released that he was nude, back in his human form.
"STUPID GIRL!" He yelled as he covered himself, he looked around and jumped down off the roof. He shortly released that no one was in the house, he quickly grabbed some clothes from his room and ran out into the forest.
Kyo was about a mile into the forest before he stopped and listened…nothing…but then a small cat stopped in front of him and meowed, like it had something important to say.
It ran away and Kyo groaned as he ran after it, the cat stopped as did Kyo he gasped at what he saw. A girl laid on her stomach on a mound of dirt, a bag lay a few feet away from her. Cat stood all around her some trying to wake her, the cat that had lead her to him ran to her and licked her face.
"Hey! Get away! Go! Shoow!" He said as he moved to her he gently turned her over to look at her. "She's…beautiful…" He muttered then blushed, angry at him self for saying such a stupid line. Her fair face was smudged with dirt, and a bruise could be seen forming on her left check bone area. Some light brown hair, with different shades of brown of high and low lights, her full lips where a beautiful rose red color. Shaking his head he growled and checked her rubs, nothing felt out of place, so he decided it would be ok to move her.
He slipped on her backpack then picked her up, her body was limp as he carried her to the house, as he opened the door to the living room as Tohru, Shigure and Yuki walked in.
"Well, well, well…look at what the cat dragged in." Shigure smiled as he rubbed his chin looking over Alicia's body.
