A note from Raven:I know this chapter is short but it is significant. In this whole chapter, it's gonna be in Sakura's POV. In the next chapter, it'll go back to third person. Oh and I read the 14, 15, and 16 volumes of fruits basket. I didn't want to but I needed to know more about a few things so I did. I'm ashamed.
Raven: Wow, this chapter really is short.
Alice: No kidding.
Raven: But I wrote the chapter and read it and you didn't. I know what happens!
Alice: Grrr... (They get in a fight)
Raven: Ahhh! Oh and before I forget, I don't own FB or any of the characters.
Alice: You're forgetting some things.
Raven: huh? OH and I really appreciate all the reviews. They make my day.
Alice: There's a new picture on our profile. Sakura's true form is scary. hehehe
(they continue to fight)
Chapter 11: Sakura's Past
When I was little, there was a time when this exact thing happened. I had told someone that it was going to rain and then I got weak. The next day, my aunt's daughter, my cousin, was outside, playing. She asked me to come play with her. During that time, my family didn't seem to mind me at all. Some of them really liked me. My mother was still alive and well at that time. Life was happy. But then….
"Come on! Let me wear your necklace! It's so cute. My big sister has one but she never lets me wear it and she never tells me why. Please?" She said.
That little girl, my cousin, had forcefully take the necklace from me and paid the price. After that… things were never the same.
I became my true form. My inner self. My memory was suddenly lost once the transformation was complete and I remembered nothing.
I heard the sound of a bell ring twice and I had regained my memory and control of my body. I was still in my form.
When I looked around, I saw my whole family around me. Near me, lied a bloody, motionless body. My cousin, who had wanted to play with me, was dead.
The head of the family, my mother, and my aunt were nearby. The head of the family, Noriko, held my bell in her hand. She rang it again and I changed back into myself. After that, everyone hated me. Even though they knew it wasn't my fault, they still blamed me.
My mother, who was also cursed, understood and she never blamed me. She still loved me with her entire soul. Noriko had suddenly become fond of me after that. However, that fondness was nothing more than a way to bring further pain to me. The whole house knew that Noriko had always abused me mentally and physically but no one cared. My mother never knew and before I could tell her, she got sick and I couldn't ask her to help me.
Noriko would tell me that I was the most cursed out of everyone. All because I was the one who killed my own cousin, whose name I never got to know. Day after day, she would elaborate on that. When my mother died, she found something knew to torment me about.
Then I ran away. I had met Kaori at school and she and I became friends. She somehow sensed that I needed a friend and from then on, she was my best and only friend. When I met the Sohmas, my entire world changed. Cause somehow if I could break my curse, I would be able to live freely. As I've come to meet new Sohmas and get close to those I've known, I've started thinking differently. I want to break their curse. I don't know how but I must.
Now, today, it may happen. What if something bad occurs? Will the Sohma family reject me just like my family has?
Today…. The day has come. Please, I only ask that no one gets hurt. If that is too much to ask, then let no one be killed. That is all I can hope for
I can try to prevent it. Is it selfish of me to want to stay together with the Sohmas and live happily ever after? Probably. That desire is hopeless.
Because of my love for him…. I don't want to lose him. But I know that I might. That is why I had to apologize. In case I bring him any pain and in case I am unable to confess my love.
Yuki Sohma, I ask that you please stay because my heart is nothing without you.
