You Don't Belong In A Fruits Basket

...

For once I have nothing to say...

...

BWAHAHAHA, I SAID SOMETHING!


Everyone had decided that it was a long day, and it was time to go to bed. Knowing that Tohru was still scared of what was to come, she decided to put it off for about a week or less.

Since it was Winter Break, they didn't have to go to school the next day. Yuki was reading a book outside, his foot on the porch, Kyo was practicing his moves, Roku was listening to music, and Tohru was still in bed, trying to heal from her wounds.

"Do you guys want anything from the store? I'm going out." She said, coming from downstairs with a yawn.

"Tohru, you shouldn't go out, your wounds are still serious." Kyo said, stopping to look at her with his red eyes.

"I'll be fine, do you need anything?" she asked again, smiling at his worry. When Kyo shook his head, she turned to Roku, who was bobbing his head to the music.

He took of his headphones, and shook his head. "Nah, I'm good. If ya need me, mesh me." He said, tapping his head, and put his headphones back on, bobbing his head once again.

( The mesh is when they talk through each other through their brains. End of Commentary.)

Tohru shrugged and walked out, like her back didn't feel like seven hells, throwing fire at her back, and teeth scraping at her long pale legs.

Oh wait.

IT DID.


"I can't understand a single thing in this place... why did my parents have to move to Japan?" he asked to himself, looking at the grocery list with weary eyes. "And the worst part is no one here speaks English…great…"

The boy walked through the market, trying to understand anything that could match the list.

He was so obsessed for looking at the right brand, that he bumped into a girl, dropping all the products in her hand.

"I-I'M SORRY!" he yelled, trying to pick up her things. She blinked rapidly, tilting her head in confusion.

"R-right, your Japanese, not English…"

"Sorry! I was just really confused! It's ok!" Tohru said, speaking in perfect, fluent English, picking up her canned goods.

He sighed in relief. "Finally. Someone speaks English! I'm Felix Microsoft. I come from America. Nice to meet you…"

(Oh hush up, I couldn't think of anything, and Microsoft was on. E_E )

"Tohru. Tohru Honda." She said, bowing. When she came back up, a confused look came upon his face, as his hand was extended out.

"Oh! Right, you're from America. Sorry." She says, extending out her hand in a friendly handshake.

"Nice to meet you to Tohru."

She sweat dropped as he said her first name, laughing nervously. "This guy doesn't watch anime, does he…?"

After picking up all of her things, he gave her the piece of paper on which all of the items were written on.

"Um…can you help me find these things on my list?" he asked. "I can't understand a single word in this place." Laughing nervously, rubbing the back of his head. Tohru flashed him a small smile, looking at the list.

"I'll help you." She said with a smile. The two walked through the store, Tohru translating the words roughly in English, and him nodding silently, picking up the items.


Once the two had gotten and paid for their food, they walked out of the store Felix having a big smile on his face. "Wow, she's really nice…and cute. If only all my 'friends' in school could treat me this way.'

"Well, it was a pleasure meeting you Felix. This town is small, so I hope we meet again." She said with a smile. Felix was still surprised that she could actually talk without the Japanese accent.

"Y-Yeah…you to…Tohru." Saying her name with a blush.

"I better get back home, or my brother's gonna kill me. Buh bye!" she said with a wave, clutching her bags tightly in one hand.

"Yeah, I hope I meet you again!" he said shyly. "I…I think I have a crush on her…and I've only met her ten minutes ago…" he slapped a hand hard on his forehead. "Who knew that a simple girl like that could steal my heart already..."

( We're gonna see more of Felix. Keep your panties on fangirls. )


The moment Tohru opened the door, she was greeted by cold water splashing on her face.

Her stuff dropped and there was a loud POOF.

Instead of Tohru being there, a tiny fox lump was under the clothes, trying to find the exit of her now gigantic clothes.

Her nose stuck out first.

Then a paw

Then another paw.

Then a face.

Then a body.

Then a pounce.

Then a 'manly' scream.

Then-

"CCCCCCHHHHHHIIIIIIII!"

Then that.

"ACK, I JUST WANTED TO SHOW THEM HOW YOU CHANGE INTO A FOXY LADY- TOHRU, STOP!" he yelled, trying to keep the abnormally strong scratching fox away from his 'handsome' face.

"So, how does she change back?" Kyo asked, walking into the room with Yuki. Both boys had bruises on their face, a sure sign that they had been fighting prior before Tohru came back.

Tohru huffed and dragged the grocery things in the kitchen. Once there, she emptied out the bag on the floor, and took an object in her mouth, putting it in the correct places.

"I wouldn't do it right now…but, if cold water changes her into an animal, what do you think changes her back?"

"A certain amount of time?" Yuki asked, amazed at how Tohru could still work, even in her fox form.

"No. Guess again." He said, walking towards the sink, getting a cup of water. Hot water to be exact.

"Um…another dose of cold water?" Kyo asked, looking at the cup, not seeing the steam coming out of the cup.

"Nope."

The two boys tried to think…and then Yuki snapped his finger. "She can turn back by-"

While Tohru was rummaging for more things to organize, Roku had poured the hot water on her tail. Tohru yelped loudly, and shifted out of the bag to glare at him.

"I suggest you two turn around." He said, turning towards the two boys with wide eyes. The two closed their eyes, and just then they heard a familiar 'POOF'.

They heard the pounding of loud footsteps, as they felt a swoosh of air, and nice perfume pass them before shutting the door with a loud bang.

(I like it when someone with nice perfume passes me, and I get their scent. BUT THEN, SOMEONE HAS TO KILL IT BY NOT WASHING THEIR ARMPITS, AND MAKE EVERYWHERE STINKY. DX)

Meanwhile, Roku was scribbling on a piece of paper, his lips tight in concentration.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Kyo asked, looking over the paper.

Roku smiled and picked it up, looking at it up and down.

"My will."


It was December 22, and everyone was eagerly waiting December 25; Christmas Day.

( Alright, I've looked on the internet, and TRIED to figure out Japanese Christmas. But I couldn't get it, so I'm going the 'Strawberry's' way. )

"I know what I'm getting everyone for Christmas. What are you getting them Roku?" Tohru asked, walking through the store with her presents wrapped. Boxes big and small were held in her hand, while Roku put his hands behind his head, walking side by side with her.

"I'm getting a necklace for Metuki. Ya think she'll like that?" he asked, the two now walking in a jewelry store.

"You know how she obsesses over jewelry. I'm sure she'll keep extra good care of it, since it's from you." Tohru said, walking through the store, looking at the beautiful mix of gold and silver.

As she was walking, she decided to take a look at the clerk while shopping. Her eyes widened when she saw who was behind the desk, looking into a magazine with the 'hottest' topics.

"MAI!" she yelled, running to the desk. The woman looked up, and her old eyes lit up with happiness. "OH MY, TOHRU IS THAT YOU?! YOU'VE GROWNED MY DEAR!"

"And your still living old hag." Roku yelled from afar.

"Oh hush up Roku. You were just jealous I gave your sister more attention than you." She huffed, and then procedded to pinch her cheeks. "Oh, I'm certainly getting old. I saw you at the party. The horrible things they do these days." She said, wiping a single stray tear out of her old eyes. "Anyway, what can I do for my favorite little girl." She said with a smile.

Tohru fidgeted nervously in her hot clothes. "I-If it's not too much to ask…" she said, and whispered something in her ear. Mai nodded, and went to the back.

"Honey, I have just the thing."


Hey guys.

ERRRR…

Not much to say here…but…

*JUMPS UP AND DOWN IN JOY* THEY GOT THE BOSTON BOMBER!

It happened right after I posted last chastper.

Anyway, for yalls who don't even know what happened, there were two bombs set off after the Boston Marathon, and 3-4 died, and over 146 injured. Anyway, they went on a massive manhunt, to me, I must say that the FBI did this job really fast. I'm SURE the media was very 'emotional' that the manhunt was finished.
(*COUGHS* THEY DON'T GET NO MONEY NO MORE.)

It was amazing how they spent five minutes on the Fertilizer plant bombing, and then moving back to the 'Boston Terror'.

Once, just once, I would like the media to stop trying to take whatever story sells, and actually get emotional.

Anyway, I'm really glad they got Suspect 2.

For those of you who don't even know what happened:

The brother of the living Boston Suspect (Suspect 1) was in a shooting. He shot an officer, and he was gunned down. The FBI announced that he was dead. At first, they thought everything was over, until they found there was another suspect. Go look on yahoo or something.

And you wanna know something REALLY funny?

They tried to move onto New York, trying to go bomb them as well.

Seriously, when did the world become full of a bunch of wackos? Oh yeah... thanks brain, for making these people wonderfully mental.


Anyway, I really, really, REALLY am happy that this is over. But…*coughs* anyway, here's the question of this chapter. For those who know of the Boston Terror

Do you think that it was just Suspect 1, and Suspect 2? Or… is there a conspiracy against America? Why, or why not? (YESH, I'M MAKING CHU THINK!)

And for those lovely Fruit Basket Fans:

Who is the Mabudachi trio?

An extra two points if you answer the Boston Terror question.

AND ALRIGHT! TIME TO TAKE SCORES! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE BE HONOST. If you saw your name when you got a question right it counted as a point. Some of you have extra points because I did something wrong, and making it up to you.

AT THE END OF THIS STORY, WHOEVER HAS THE MOST POINTS, I WILL WRITE ANY STORY, OF THE ANIME I KNOW, AND ANY PAIRING, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I HATE IT.

And…my best friend suggested (over the phone) with her awesome self, suggested we had a drawing contest.

Blah, sorry, I had to delete that chapter. I FORGOT ABOUT MY REVIEWERS CIRCLE! Errr...I'm gonna post your reviews, just in case you forgot them, so...if you have a problem with that, and just like me plain answering them, then...yeah.

Their family must (and is) be ashamed of them. Don't worry, and thanks for your kind words. Grassy says thank you also. :)

The Amendable Snow Freak:

Great story, luv it! Post soon!

Lol, thanks!

Lol, I didn't get it at first, but then I was all like "OH FOR CHRISTMAS!" You, my friend, may have won the question. MAY HAVE. ;D

The-Alicorn-of-Deduction

I'm a little confused. Tohru turned into a fox.. But when does she turn into a fox. When under stress like the Zodiac or is it just that one time because of the ritual thing

They should all get plushie foxes for x-mas

This is the best story EVER! My Fanfics are crap compared to yours

Get it now? ;)

And, don't say that! Your stories are awesome. I read one of them, and I was amazed. You may not be strong in writing, but I'm sure there are many other things that you are good at, that I'm not. And here's a hint, try to use the real characters instead of paring them off with OC's. I'm not the one giving advice, cause I'm still learning. But don't worry, I'm sure if you try hard, you'll get there. Like me and the oboe! We were enemies in the beginning, but we slowly came out as best friends with more practice. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get there.

Notice how I say, I don't THINK you'll get there. I said I am SURE you'll get there.

1 3 Kyo Sohma

God, I know. The accidents last week were terrible. While I am writing this they have already caught the guys that bombed the Boston Marathon. One is dead. Thank God that he will cause no more pain and may his sins bring him to rot in Hell. (I don't know why I'm being religious.) And as for the other, he is in pain with an injury that doesn't allow him to speak. God took his voice, and may he never return it. (Back to a more happy subject) So! That was a good chapter. Let's see, what should they get for Christmas... Shigure should get some *perverted* manga (because he's Shigure), Kyo should get (hm) tickets to some martial arts thing (I don't know why), Yuki should get seeds for his garden, excuse me, secret base, Tohru should get (grr, she doesn't really need anything!) a camera (so she can takephotos and stuff), and Roku should get a motorcycle (I don't know how old he is or whether or not he has a license but I have a feeling he would ride it either way). Mkay, see you later!

Well, if he can't talk, then how will he be able to say why the HELL HE BOMBED BOSTON IN THE FIRST PLACE! Good thing that kid can write...AND HE CAN'T DIE! He has to look at the faces of his victims, the people he hurt with injuries and death. I just hope he goes crazy from all the haunting the spirits do...

ALRIGHT! NOW MY FAMOUS EXIT!

Chow!

~Strawberry ish out!
