Fruits Basket:
Chapter3
"So you think Im a school bully?" He asked walking to her, slightly entertained that she didn't back off.
"No," She said calmly. "I think school bullies are better then you, your nothing more then a child who likes to throw tantrums to get what they want. And when people don't automatically bow down to kiss your pathetic ass YOU THREATEN THEM WITH ERAISING THEIR MEMORIES! YOU DON'T WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO BE HAPPY BECAUSE THEN THEY'D LEAVE YOU! AND THEN YOU'D HAVE NO ONE TO KISS YOUR ASS!" She screamed advancing to him, he gasped and took a step back. "YOUR NOTHING MORE THEN A SPOILED BITCH WHO CAN ONLY CRY! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE BALLS YOURSELF TO TAKE OUT PEOPLES MEMORIES! YOU HAVE POOR HATORI DO IT!"
Akito let out a low growl and backhanded her; everyone gasped. Alicia just smiled. "So it's true," she almost laughed straightening out.
"Shut up!" He said and turned to leave.
"WHAT! NO GOING TO HIT ME ANY MORE! OR AM I TOO STRONG FOR YOU TO ABUSE?" She yelled at him. "Or am I just too old? You like to start at a young age don't you? Abuse them while they haven't figured out your just a pathetic- HEY GET BACK HERE YOU BASTARD BITCH!" Alicia yelled running after him. Alicia walked back into the room and with out saying a word flopped back to her stop next to Kyo and shoveled food into her mouth using the food to muffle the rest of her small vocabulary.
Tohru gave a weak smile, even though she was clearly weirder out. "Would you like some more beef and rice?" She asked.
"You just told Akito off," Kyo muttered looking at her wide eyed. In fact everyone was looking at her with wide eyes.
"So the little punk had it coming, I hate him! I don't know how you put up with his spoiled butt!"
"Um…excuse me," A tall man with light hair said walking back into the room.
"Yes?" Kazu-san said with a smile.
"Akito said that Alicia-chan is not aloud to live here with you all," he said and gave a bow.
"Well what about at the dojo? Just outside of Sohma land?" Kazu-san asked.
The man thought for a moment. "I guess it's ok, since your off Sohma land,"
"Great then it's settled, Alicia-chan, you'll be living with me at the dojo." Kazu-san said with a final nod. "Thank you, you may leave now."
"Oh…ok, well very good." The man bowed and left.
"You don't have room in the dojo for an extra guest, I didn't think anyways." Kyo said.
"Yes I do, a spare room I used to let…some old friends spend the night in." Kazu-san said a little uneasy.
"THEN WHY THE HELL CAN'T I STAY THERE?" Kyo asked getting mad.
"Because it's good for you to live here." Kazu-san said with a nod. "Alicia-chan, once u are done eating I'll show u to the dojo." He said with a smile.
"Ok," Alicia said after she slurped up the last of the noodles on her plate. "But let me help Tohru clean up."
"Oh no," Tohru said grabbing the empty dishes before Alicia could. "Your our guest,"
Alicia grabbed Tohru's shoulders and took the plates and bowls. "Are you afraid of dying if you relax for once or something?" She asked with a smile. Tohru smiled and blushed lightly. "Now sit down, relax and talk with your friends," Alicia smiled as she finished gathering the bowls and plates then went into the kitchen. She rinsed them off before releasing they didn't have a dishwashing machine. With a sigh she started hand washing them before Kyo came in.
"Hey Tohru's like really itching to get in here and help." He said thrusting his thumb behind him.
"Well tell her to relax," Alicia said as she finished drying the last dish. "I'm done."
"Kewl, come on I think you'll really like the dojo." Kyo said waiting for her at the kitchen door.
"Kay," Alicia nodded as she put the towel on the rack and followed behind him.
"Oh yeah here's your bag." Kyo said handing it to her, Alicia gasped and ripped it from his hands.
"You didn't go threw it did you?" She asked, she wasn't sure which part of their lives she'd came in on, and if the Manga and Anime in her bag where their future no telling what weird effect if could have on them.
"No, we where tempted to go threw it to look for id, but…" Kyo shrugged. "We just didn't."
Alicia let out a sigh and smiled. "Good, there are just some personal stuff in here…it's kinda embarrassing." She said trying to explain Kyo had given her a confused look.
"Come on," Kazu-san said.
"Kay, how long is the walk anyways?" Alicia asked.
"Not that far, only about a mile." Kazu-san said as they walked out towards the street.
"Kewl," Alicia laughed as she slung her bag onto her back and started to fallow Kazu-san, Kyo was walking next to her.
It didn't take long before Alicia could see the top of the dojo over some trees, after that Kyo and Alicia raced to the dojo, Kyo won.
"No fair!" Alicia laughed.
"WHAT!" Kyo yelled.
"I have to run with a bag."
"Kazu-san said he'd hold it, it's not my fault you thought you where better then me."
"Yeah so at least I don't have to live with 'The Rat'," she laughed as she a she said the last part in his ear causing Kyo to growl and get moody.
"Alright children," Kazu-san said as he came into the courtyard of the dojo. "Come on it's this way."
Alicia smiled as she looked around, at the trees, the flowers, a butterfly flew in front of her causing her to laugh. "It's so beautiful and peaceful."
Kyo looked back at her and watched her look around a beautiful smile on her face. Kyo frowned and shook his head.
"Woman have that weird power over men," Kazu-san said standing next to Kyo.
Kyo looked at Kazu-san like he had a second head growing out of his neck. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Kazu-san smiled. "Ok, Alicia-chan," he said with a large smile. "Your room is this way."
"Kay," she smiled as she ran to him and let him lead the way.
"YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER CLEANING THE STUPID THING!" Kyo yelled as Kazu-san opened the door to Alicia's new room. It was small, dusty and had things just thrown around in it.
"Yes…well it's not like I woke up this morning knowing I would have a guest, other wise I would have had cleaned up…a little." He smiled.
"It's great Kazu-san, thank you." Alicia smiled as she put her bag down in the corner next to the door and rolled up her sleeves and moved to the window, it was still early in the evening so there was still lots of light, so she pushed opened the wooden plank and propped it up with a stick. She looked over the room, it was small with tatami mats on the floor, she was suddenly grateful for the fact that she had traded in her sneakers for dojo slippers.
"Well gentlemen I have a lot of work to do, thank you Kazu-san for this beautiful room." Alicia said with a bow of the head, trying to show proper Japanese gratitude.
"You're not seriously thinking that you'll be able to clean this whole room by your self," Kyo asked. "Do you?"
"Well no," Alicia started as she pushed them onto the other side of the screen door. "Not with you two men in my way. Excuse me." She smiled and slide the door shut.
By the time Kazu-san had come knocking on the door for dinner, Alicia was practically done cleaning the room. She pushed back the door and smiled brightly.
"Well what do you think?" She asked him.
"Impressive," Kazu-san smiled at Kyo. "Isn't it?"
"Very! Between you and Tohru you'd have all of Japan sparkling clean in one year." Kyo laughed.
Alicia smiled and laughed with him.
"Your not going to sleep on this are you?" Kazu-san said lightly kicking the futon.
"Well I was hoping you'd have some extra sheets to put over it till I can get it washed." She smiled.
"No way! This thing should be thrown out!" Kazu-san said picking it up and tossing it out the window.
"HEY!" Alicia yelled trying to catch it, but she didn't. "Now what am I going to sleep on?" She asked him putting her hands on her hips.
"We'll figure out something but no way am I letting you sleep on that old nasty thing! No body would dare guess what's been on that thing."
"Bye Kyo!" Alicia waved to him as he left. "Say good-night to everyone for me!" She smiled as he gave a 'yeah-yeah' wave and hurried down the driveway.
"Alicia-chan, walk with me." Kazu-san smiled as he waited for Alicia to get to him.
"Is this about me yelling at Akito like it did?" She asked giving him a sideward glance.
"No, all though you shouldn't be ashamed of that, a lot of members of the Sohma family have been dying to tell him off like that for sometime."
"So…I did a good thing?"
"Oh no, making Akito mad is never good. But just know," Kazu-san stopped under a cherry blossom tree. "You will always have friends in the Sohma family no matter what happens."
Alicia froze for a moment. "Are you trying to warn me about something? Because if you are, let me warn you. I don't pick up on ancient riddles, or any riddles for that matter," she muttered.
"No, no. No riddles." He smiled picking a cherry blossom and handing it to Alicia. "Have you been trying to figure out why and how your came into our world?"
"So you do believe me!" Alicia smiled running in front of him.
"Well how else could someone pin point Akito so well with out spending a second in the same room as him?" Alicia smiled. "But now I do have something to make you think," Alicia groaned but let Kazu-san continue on. "Have you ever thought that maybe, this, this world you say is from a Manga, could be the world you where really meant to be in. That this could be your reality."
Just so people know, this isn't going to be a Kazu-san X OC, he's just playing the father figure right now. Ato! Douzo hiken ken kouhyou! (Hopefully that means, 'Later! Please read and review!' LoL, if not…I'm sorry!)
