Chapter 2 An Unexpected Demand
Hi-nees! I'm back to write another crappy chapter! puts on bunny mask
Kyo: What the hell is up with the mask!
Me: Yukiru Sugisaki wears one, so why cant I? (Omg! Her initials are the same as Yuki Sohma)
Kyo: Those are just drawn pictures! She doesn't wear one in real life!
Me: How do you know?
Kyo: 'cause it's dumb!
Me: Why are you so mean Kyo? cries
Kyo: Damn teenager!
Me; I'll stop crying if you do the disclaimer...
Kyo: There's no way in hell.
Me: cries even louder
Kyo: Okay! I'll do the damned disclaimer...
Me: Yayness!
Kyo: Sazaku Midoushi does not own fruits basket. Cause if she did my life would be ruined and the annoying peter cotton tail wouldn't have a girls voice in the anime...Hey wait a s-
Me: Ok read on my minions! get's beat up by reader sorry... here's chapter 2...oh and thanks to the one person who reviewed this...I appreciate that anyone would read this crap...Sorry I can't remember your name, I'm offline at the moment...hope you don't mind.
"Hello? Is this, Tohru Honda?" The voice spoke slowly and had a menacing sound to it. She knew the voice, but she didn't want to believe it was him. Not here. Not at her school. She just stood there with the phone in her hand. You could see the fear in her eyes. Her skin turned pale and she couldn't speak.
"Tohru Honda?" The voice repeated, sounding irritated by the lack of a response. After the voice had spoken there was a moment of complete silence. Tohru couldn't say anything and the people in the office were staring at her. Their eyes wide in curiosity, they stared at her shaking body as she slowly spoke into the receiver.
"Y-yes, this is Tohru. Wh-who is this?" she stuttered into the phone, wanting make sure that it was who she thought it was.
"Why, Tohru, I'm so sad you don't know who this is, and here I was thinking you had learned your place, but now I'm certain. You'll love it here at the main house, my precious little flower."The voice sneered into the phone.
"Akito." She gasped. Her prediction had been correct, but being to cautious, she had to stay in the main house. Her eyes watered but she refused to let Akito know she was sad about it. She couldn't let him know.
"It's such a shame you hadn't said that earlier. I would have reconsidered. Oh well, it's your loss, princess." he laughed into the phone, " I'll be waiting for you." and then he hung up.
Tohru slowly put down the receiver and looked around the office. Everyone was staring at her. Some looked confused, others concerned and curious. She quickly bowed, thanked the lady behind the desk and left the office. She didn't want to go to the main house, but maybe it would be an advantage to breaking the curse?
She stopped walking as soon as the thought came to mind. ' maybe being close enough to Akito would help break the curse? He is after all, supposedly the god.' she shook her head. 'No. Akito is not a god. No matter how much power a person has, no matter what a persons position, humans cannot be gods, and that's a good thing. It means that Akito is no different from me or anyone else for that matter. He's probably hurting on the inside, just like the rest of us. So that's why- That's why I'm going to the main house. Not just for me, and the members of the zodiac, but for Akito as well. I wanna help him, so I'll do what I can.'
She walked down the tiled hallway and went into her classroom. Unbeknownst to her, it was now a different period, so she had to grab her books and quickly run to her next period class. When she got there she took a seat by Kyo.
" Where the hell were you?" He whispered to her as she took a seat.
"Oh, Kyo! Nowhere, I was at my locker." she said, not wanting to tell him about the phone call.
"The locker is somewhere, you dork." He said, knowing she was lying, " You're so easy to read. Let me guess, you where in the office?"
"Oh, umm... How did you- "
"He asked us." Arisa cut in.
"You're annoying, you know that?" Kyo glared at her, daring her to say something and she did.
"You think I'm supposed to be afraid of your punk ass glare? Huh?" she threatened.
"Bring it on then,Yankee bitch!"he said standing up.
"It's brought, Let's go orange top. I wanna see you squirm." they both glared daggers at each other and it soon became a glaring contest.
"Do some thin" Arisa challenged, standing up as well.
"You think I wanna waste my time on some slut who doesn't know when to give up." he said.
"Come on hit me you sissy," she smirked at him.
" Who you callin' sissy? I don't see a girl in front of me! All I see is some THING trying to get the shit beat out of them!"
"Ooh, big come back, but can you back those words up you-"
"Arisa Uotani and Kyo Sohma, if you don't sit your asses down and pay attention, you're going to the principals office." warned the teacher.Everyone in the class looked stunned as they heard the teacher's words.
"Way to go Mr. Larkins..." Arisa murmured as she took her seat. Kyo took a seat as well. He didn't want to provoke the teacher.
"Thank you, now..."he went on with the lesson until the bell chimed for the end of class.
Tohru said good bye to Hana-Jima, Arisa and Kyo, and went off to work with a smile, although she knew that tonight would possibly be the last time she slept in that house with Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure. She wanted to make it one of the best times they ever spent together.
She hurried to work and finished early so she could go home and make dinner, after all it wouldn't be her home for much longer. She ran. Almost bumping into people and apologizing after every time her body brushed against someone else.
When she arrived there, it was unusually silent. It seemed as though no one were home. She went into the kitchen and began to cook everyone's favorite meal. She made sure everything was top notch and perfect.
She neatly placed everything on the table and waited for everyone to come home. It wasn't long before Shigure came back to the house. He walked into the kitchen and was immediately shocked at what he saw.
"Tohru? Is this your doing? Who am I kidding? Who else would do this for us but you. I thought you weren't supposed to be here until eleven o'clock. It's seven thirty." he instantly sat down at the table and began to pick out his favorites.
"Wait, Shigure. Shouldn't we wait for- "
The door opened before she could finish her statement. Yuki and Kyo both stormed in arguing.
"Don't walk away when I'm talking to you! Get your scared ass back here ya damn rat!" Kyo screamed at the now eating Yuki.
"Good afternoon miss Honda. What are you doing home so early?" He asked ignoring Kyo.
"Hello Yuki, Hi Kyo, I decided that it would be nice to do something like this once in a while. You know, like a family..." she looked down as she said the last part, trying to decide whether or not she should tell them before, or after they ate. If she told them before, it would be the saddest dinner ever and if she told them after, they'd go to bed with it laying heavily on their minds... 'maybe, I should write them a letter tomorrow...no I have to do this in person, and besides, I'll still be able to come back.' she thought.
She smiled at them, "Um, Guys?"
They all looked at her, waiting patiently, to what she was about to say.
"Earlier today, I got a phone call at school."
"Who was it?" Shigure asked.
There was a moment of silence before she answered him.
"It was Akito."
Well that ends chapter 2! Yay me! Oh and for those of you who don't know Yukiru Sugisaki, she's the author/ manga-ka (whatever you want to call it) of DNAngel. It's awesomeness, if you have the time to, check it out. Good mange, and according to my friend it's a good anime as well. I haven't seen the English dubbed version yet, so I'm hoping it isn't bad. I wish I could write more but I'm a bit bored at the moment...chapter 3 is coming soon, hopefully. My internet's down so this is really all I can do at the moment, and please be kind, it's my first Fruits Basket Fanfiction and I only wrote one other one, My Hikari... (Kingdom Hearts) and I haven't finished it yet. (On a different site) and it kinda sucks...So um, yeah. Please review? I said Please...
