TITLE: Somewhere, The Fates Are Laughing At Me
SUMMARY:For Rika Haruko, eating a blessed fruit which leads to being cursed like the one on the Sohma family and impersonate her twin brother are the least of her worries when she has to deal with love! Oh, and did I mention she has an active conscience?
DISCLAIMER: No, I do not own anime/manga/products of Fruits Basket, so don't attempt to sue me. Thank-you.
IMPORTANT: "..." speech )...( annoying A/N interruptions ------ Rika might have an annoying conscience that talks to her throughout the story, I haven't decided yet.
Make them 16 (Hatsuharu and Momiji) or 17 (Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, etc.), the rest, I don't remember -.-
-.-
RECAP:
Yeeeep, I am definitely not in love with Honda Tohru.
"Yuki, are you okay? You're sweating..." I heard her say, I took a quick look at her.
This is going to be hard...
Chapter 2: Yankees, ESP Girls, Coffee Trucks And Baka Nekos !
Rika's POV
When I got to school the next day, I could barely get pass the door, no, I'm NOT that fat! For one thing, I was making sure I didn't come in contact with any guys, second, too much girls came up to me to 'introduce' themselves to me, UCK! They're like animals! Third, I was looking for any Sohma family members, last of all, I couldn't find Tohru, damn it, I'm now lost. Greeeeeeeeaaaaaaaat.
"Excuse me, do you know a Honda Tohru?" I asked a blondish girl, her hair was over one eye. Maybe she was a Shoma! Her hair color was a different then black and all...
"Huh? How do you know Tohru?" She asked in some confusion. Before I could answer, another girl came, she was freaky! Weird aura, cold black braided hair and empty eyes. Creepy.
"Hello, Uo-chan. Who is this?" she said in an empty tone. I think I'll shudder quietly in the corner...
"I dunno, she knows Tohru, though." was the reply. That Uo girl gave me a critical gaze and asked, "Are you a Sohma?" My mind blanked. The Sohmas where really here!
"N-no! I'm Haruka Riku. Why? Are there any Soh-"
"A-AH! I-I-I'm SOO sorry, Riku-kun! Please forgive me! I caused you trouble." A blushing/bowing Tohru stammered between pants from running. I shook my head.
"It's okay. I just wanted to show you the kangaroo, I printed it from the library yesterday." I said, showing her Roo from Pooh Bear. At this, her eyes brightened. "Ohhh! Thank-you! I'm sorry, I'm a bad guide." Noticing the two girls standing next to me, she quickly introduced us to...uhh...us?
"Uo-chan! Hana-chan! I'm sorry, I didn't see you. Good morning, did you meet Riku-kun? He's going to be in the same class as us!"
"Hey, 'sup?" Uo-chan said.
"Hello. Your waves...they're very...interesting. Almost like the Sohma's waves..." Hana-chan observed.
"Huh?" I said with dot eyes.
"Hana-chan can read waves, like...a person's feelings, or something. ESP." Uo and Tohru explained. I think Tohru sounded really smart for a second...not that I'm saying she's dumb or anything...Just then, that silver haired guy ran past us, followed by hundreds of girls. Wow, I didn't know girls could run that fast!
"Excuse me, excuse me! Thank-you! As a result of upturned coffee trucks blocking lanes, all teachers are late and will not come until late afternoon. Since we can't send the students home, the students will have to study on their own. No classes are going to be held until the teachers come in. Also, will a Haruka Riku come to the main office? Again, Will Haruka Riku comes to the main office?" The speaker box said. All around, people cheered happily for up-turned coffee trucks. What'd I do now? When I excused myself and was about to leave, I turned back.
"Uhhh...Tohru-chan? Where's the main office?"-;
Normal POV
As the four arrived to the office, What they saw dumbfounded them, well maybe not Hana-chan. No one can know with that neutral face. A few things:
A panting Yuki holding the door closed, struggling to lock it from crazed girls. (He decided to wash his hair with new type of shampoo in the morning, making his hair still kind of wet and good smelling. The girls couldn't resist, they went crazy. Hahaha!)
An orange haired teen screaming at someone.
Hatsuharu sitting from where Riku last saw him.
And Hatsuharu getting yelled at by the orange hair male.
So much...guys...I think I'll leave now... Riku thought, inching towards the door. But before she could escape, Yuki and Hatsuharu noticed the four new arrivals.
"DON'T open the door, Haruka-san! Those girls will come in!" Yuki almost yelled, sounding half hysterical.(Amazing what crazed girls can do to a composed guy like Yuki!)
"Yo! You left me here over night!" Hatsuharu called to her.
"Ehh...what's going on?" Uo-chan asked, a little stunned at the behavior of Yuki. When both doors were locked and barricaded, they all sat on the floor for someone to rescue them from raving school girls.
"Sooo..." Rika began, trying start a conversation. "Who are you?"
"Someone unimportant. He's a Baka Neko." Yuki answered for the orange haired teen.
"Hey! Stupid rat, why the heck do you wanna know, anyway?" He replied.
"I'm bored. That's why, baka." I said coolly.
"He's Kyo." Uo-chan said to Rika, the little group converted back to quietness with each in their own thoughts.
((RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM THE LITTLE GROUP...))
Must not look at her...ARRRGGG! WHY did I wash my hair in the morning!
Stupid rat...Stupid rat...Stupid rat...Stupid rat...Stupid rat...I WILL DEFEAT HIM TODAY!
Poor Yuki...Roo is so cute!
He still didn't apologize...
Why the hell is he looking at me like that?
So much tension, and I didn't even launch the poisonous electric pulse...)A/N: Is that right? I dunno...lol...this is kinda pointless -.-(
Wonder why Riku looks like a Shoma?
((End Of Random Yet Pointless Thoughts...))
"Riku." Rika looked up from her thoughts at Haru and raised an eyebrow.
"Riku..."
"Riku?"
"Hey! Listen to me!" He said, annoyed.
"I am moron, don't you see me LOOKING at you!" was the reply.
"You know what?" He began. The rest looked at them, heads moving back and forth at the two.
"What? Chicken butt?" She guessed sarcastically.
"No, just, you never apologized yesterday and you left me here to starve with no dinner and sleep on this hard floor." He said with a sideways look to her.
"You really stayed here?" Rika asked with interest.
"Yes."
"You. Are. A. Moron." Rika said after a pause.
"No, I want an A-P-O-L-O-G-Y." he spelled out.
"No way." Rika answered, sticking out her tongue.
"I suggest you do what he asks." Yuki said with Tohru shaking her head in agreement to him.
"What did you do to the cow do?" Uo-chan butted in.
"Cow?" Rika questioned. She noticed that everyone but herself, Uo-chan, and Hana-chan's eyes widen in panicky. The sandy-eyed girl chose to ignore it.
"Yea, he acts like a cow, always getting lost and having one thing at mind at a time. And even sometimes, he forgets that one thing on his mind." Uo-chan explained. After explaining everything to the little group Kyo burst out laughing.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU got beaten up by him!" Kyo laughed, pointing at Rika. (Rika was sitting right across from him, and he nearly poked her eye out. x.X) "Look at him! Are yo-!" Before Kyo finished, though, young Hatsuharu turned to him and punched him in the face.
"JERK! I DON'T SEE YOU BEATING THAT RIKU IN A FIGHT, EITHER! LETS FIGHT, YOU TWO AGAINST ME!" And with that, he lunged at Rika.
-.-
Hitaru: BAWAHAHAHAHA!
Mini-Waffle: Why are you laughing like a deranged lunatic?
Hitaru: Hey! DEGRANGED!
Mini-Waffle: I said lunatic, too.
Hitaru: '.' Sooooooooo?
Mini-Waffle: Backs away Review or one more lunatic will walk this planet.
Hitaru: I thought I already WAS a lunatic before this fic.
Mini-Waffle: You're still an idiot.
Hitaru: Hey! I RESENT that!
Mini-Waffle: I don't care.
Hitaru: B-b-but that's meeeeaaaaan! T-T
Mini-Waffle: Sigh Fine, you're NOT an idiot. You're just a weirdo.
Hitaru: Damn right! 5 reviews desired until chapter 3!
