You Don't Belong In a Fruits Basket

WE ISH GOTS ONE MORE WEEK TILL THE DRAWING CONTEST IS OVER!
WARNING: SPOILERS OF PERCY JACKSON AND HARRY POTTER AHEAD!
The next day, after they had gotten everything they needed it was December 23, and the next day (Christmas Eve) Tohru was supposed to go see Hatori.
But for now, she would just settle on going to the library.
While Roku was looking for a Harry Potter book, a person was trying to look for the same book, his eyes scanning the bookshelves just as Roku was reaching for it.
"Excuse me." He coughed. "Your blocking my view."
Roku flipped his short brown hair back, made a girl looking face, his lips puckering up, and his eyes somehow gotten mascara on them. "Honey, I AM the view."
He just looked at him with wide eyes, and fixed his glasses that sat upon his nose. "Were you dropped when you were a baby?" he asked, checking him for any visible 'problems'.
Roku gasped and clutched his heart tightly against his clothes. Once he did that, he went back to 'original mode.'
"Some kids were dropped as a baby. But dude, it's clearly obvious that you were thrown into the air, smacked by a ceiling fan, and thrown out the window. And the ceiling fan wasn't even MOVING!"
The boy huffed, and adjusted his glasses again. "Well then, Good morning to you." He said with a glare, before bowing a centimeter, and walking off.
But at least he heard the last smart ass thing that he said.
"I fail to understand the 'good' part of 'good morning.'" He said with a wide smirk.
The boy just clenched his hands and walked away.
Roku, after collecting all of his books came to Tohru, who was holding her Percy Jackson book and research for their science projects.
Roku snorted and handed the librarian his card, glaring at the book in Tohru's hand. "I don't understand why you love that book so much. It's Harry Potter that's in season."
Tohru rolled her big blue optics and looked at him as she handed the librarian her own card. "I don't see why you like Harry Potter so much. It's just about wizards and stuff."
Roku gasped as they walked out of the library, preparing to defend his favorite book, he suddenly bumped into a boy the same height as him, and in the process, dropping his and the boys books.
"WATCH IT IDIOT! PICK UP MY STUFF!" Roku yelled heatedly, crossing his arms in a brat like manner. The boy just looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.
"Roku!" she yelled, helping the boy pick up his books. "Sorry about my brother…he's a bit-" When Tohru lifted her head up, she saw the same boy that was in the grocery store.
'What was his name…?'
Tohru thought to herself. Roku, not the type liking to be ignored, gently pushed Tohru away, careful of her wounds, and picked up his books, leaving the other one's on the ground.
"Felix was your name right? Felix Microsoft?" the boy, hearing his name smiled and nodded. "Y-Your Tohru, right?" he asked with a smile, picking up his books slowly to take time with her.

"Tohru, who the hell is this, what language is he speaking, and why the hell does he act stupid?"
Roku asked through her brain. Tohru stood up abruptly,' accidently' dropping a book on his head.
Feeling the pain for herself was totally worth it.
After everyone got their books assorted and in the right hands, Felix bowed, sweat beading on his eyebrows. "Um…thank you…Tohru-chan…" he said, clutching the Japanese learning books in his hand.
Tohru smiled and bowed with a smile. "Yep, it's always a pleasure!" she said. Roku, not even understanding what the hell was going on, just shook his head, and Felix's face held a light blush on it before he came back up. "U-Um…well…I-I'll see you later." He bowed once again, and quickly hurried into the library, his face completely red now.
Roku was just looking at the sight with a raised eyebrow., with Tohru glaring hard daggers at him. He raised a hand in defense, while the other held a bag of books, and matched her glare. "I would be nice to people, but their so stupid it gets me pissed off, alright?" he defended.
Tohru rolled her eyes and started walking towards the Sohma House.
Roku and Tohru, back to back, and legs propped up were both reading their separate books. Everyone had eaten lunch and no fights broke out. Kyo was on the couch, sleeping, Shigure working on his latest book, and Yuki doing the science project.
"Are you sure you don't need any help Yuki?" she asked again, bringing her nose out of her book, and turning her optics towards Yuki. Yuki pulled his head up and shook his head with a smile. "No Ms Honda, you've already done enough trying to find the information. You can rest now, I'll do the board." He said, while ripping a piece of tape from the tape roller.
Tohru nodded and hesitantly turned back to her book. Just then, her big brother jumped out of their comfort circle, and Tohru's face slammed into her book. After a few seconds to calm herself down, she glared at Roku who's eyes were scanning the book, and his face was in utter concentration. "Oh my gosh...Harry...YOU CAN DO THIS!" he yelled at the book. After a few more minutes of staring from the Sohmas, he slammed the book down. "DAMMIT! I HATE PROFESSER SNAPE!"
(Or was it Snake...I forget...PERCY JACKSON FAN ALL DA WAY BABY. )
Yuki, completly ignoring him took his work upstairs, sighing heavily. "When you're done being an idiot, I'll come back downstairs."
Curiousity killed the cat.
Kyo, snaking his way over there, slowly opened the book to a random page and continued to flip through pages until he found out...
THERE WERE NO PICTURES!
Kyo slammed the book and went back outside to do whatever he was doing. Tohru shrugged it off and decided to lean beside the wall, continuing to read her Percy Jackson.
"Ya think Mary'll be ok? I mean, having a baby is really hard from what I've heard..." Roku said, struggling to put on his uniform while the two were walking to work. Tohru smiled brightly and nodded. "Mary's a strong woman! I'm sure she'll be fine." she said, skipping happily on the sidewalk.
The walk fairly quiet, not to many cars, though, some drunks walked through the street, all was well.
"Ya know...I was thinking that you should tell them today. You know, so if...Aku had another one of his... tantrums, then they would know what to expect." Roku said, prentending to be thoughtful about it, when in all, he was just really worried about his sister.
Tohru shrugged as if it didn't bother her, hurting her back in the process. Her face scrunched up with pain before going nuteral, trying to hide her pain.
Like she did all the time.
(Ok, this whole part was totaly irrelevant to the plot, just wanted Roku to meet Felix. Now to the real part. )
Tohru sat beside her brother in front of the Sohms, who were waiting for a nice, detailed explanation. "Y-You go first..." she said quietly, wringing her fingers over and over again.
Roku sighed and put something on the floor. "Ya ever heard of Shinigami? As you humans translate it 'Gods of Death?'"
They nodded.
"Well, basically, we're just soul reapers. Anyway, this is a Shinigami tool to go inside the mind of humans to see if they will turn into 'aku's', which are evil souls. If they do turn into evil souls, it is a Shinigami's job to get them."
A full in color holographic screen popped up from the small square sitting on the ground. It showed a 'video' or Roku moving and slashing. Loud screeches that were muffled due to the floor. Even so, they were loud, and the Sohmas had to cover their ears. Roku put his hand on it, and flipped the screen as you would do with an IPhone.
"Anyway, I'm in charge of the hardest job…reaping young children. If they are under the age of 15, they are counted as young children. No matter if they are good or bad, they will still get another chance at life. It's quite sad, how young kids die at such an early age. The older ones give the most trouble though." He said with a light chuckle. "Anyway, the Shinigami society depends on the fox princess to give them good crop, less deaths, and more birthrates. The more the fox princess sheds tears, the more good luck the Shinigami and human race recieves."
Roku flipped the next screen, turning towards a holograpihc picture with Tohru curled in the corner in her fox form. "I'm sure Tohru will fill in the rest for you." he said, cueing his sister on.
Tohru wringed her finger and sighed. "It's better to show you than to tell you." she said, and pressed her finger through the hologram, the whole image changing. "The Fox Princess' history is passed down to each of the descedents. It all started back in Fuedel Japan..."
Tohru's Mind/Flashback
"No! Please! Don't hurt me!" a young girl screamed, as the people threw rocks and torches at her, scorching her back.
Coming to a dead end, the girl turned her scared green eyes at the people who were smirking like wild animals. She cowered in fear as more torches burned her back, and rocks were pelted into her face.
The one wearing a big kimono laughed loudly and threw more torches at her back. "Like a scared little tiger, looking for her mommy. You damned DEMON!" he said, picking a rock and throwing it straight at her bushy tail.
"Please, stop! I won't steal your sheep anymore, I promise!" she cried, her face now covered in bruises of all colors and shapes.
Suddenly, rain started and her body stung from the precipitation.
The villagers gasped in surprise and cheif looked at the shivering young girl who's green eyes were searching for an escape. "P-Please! I-I am the l-last of my s-species. I am the Good Luck Kitsune. If you spare my life, my descendents and I will give you Good Luck forever!" she said shakily, her eyes puffing up.
The people thought about the crop that would've died soon. They all looked at the headcheif wearing his big kimono and he nodded, smiling. "So, I see what turns on the Good Luck..." he said, looking at the twelve bright marks on her back. As he looked in the sky, the moon was exactly in the middle and he smiled. "Yes, Good Luck Kitsune...we have a deal."
End of Tohru's Mind/Flashback
Tohru shook her head shakily, rewatching the nightmares she had when she was a young kit. Tohru coughed and brought back the attention of the Kyo and Yuki, who had a look of awe on their faces.
"T-That's why we s-serve the Sohma family in secret, and the protect the Shinigami society."
Kyo's eyes widened as a sudden memory popped into his head, but he said nothing and ignored the feeling of doubt as it welled in his throat, feeling suffocated, but again, he said nothing, and just swalloed hard.
"Wait, so shouldn't you be living with the Shinigami if you are a princess?"
Tohru smiled and hid her face behind her bangs. "Nope, I'm the fox, the outsider, the last of my race. Who would want a dirty being in their home?" she said quietly, chuckling under her breath.
"We...we were a big happy family. Everyone was fine, and dad was alive, mom was happy, and me and Roku were born."
"Except...except one day...e-everything chang-"

The phone continued to ring on and on until they could ignore no longer. Tohru stood up at an alarming rate and quickly headed towards the phone, not saying a word to them as she walked to the phone.
Tohru took in a deep breath and took the cool phone into her soft hands. "This is the Sohma residence. How may I help you?"
"You can help me by coming over here."
Tohru's eyes widened, and pretended not to be fazed at the voice. "I'm sorry but that is not avalible at the time, or ever." she said sweetly, smiling into the phone. She heard a growl and a slam.
"If you tell them anything, I will personally come myself, and beat the crap out of them until they can't remember A THING! GOT THAT?! Have you forgotten Tohru? I watch every. single. move. you-"
Tohru slammed the phone in fright, her eyes widening, and she quickly looked behind her shoulder, expecting to see something, something watching her. She quickly yelled shakily behind her shoulder; "I-I'M GOING TO B-BED!" she yelled, and ran upstairs, with her worried brother at her heels, Yuki and Kyo looking with confusion at each other while slowly walking to their own rooms.
"I'M HOOOMMEE!" Shigure yelled, walking into the room with his jacket slung over his shoulder. Seeing as the house was quiet, and nothing was broken, he assumed for the best and walked off to follow everyone else in sleep.
I really don't have any excuse other than I was really lazy.
Sorry the chapter is so short. Next chapter will be up to 3,00 words, I promise. School is almost out, just about 19 more days. Next chapter will be much longer.
Not in the mood to be hyped, as I am listening to a very depressing song.
Also, lately, for some odd reason, I've been bullied in school due to my skin color. So, as being depressed, I am VERY pissed. They were planning to post a picture of me on instagram and abuse it, but I broke their phone, and now the parents are trying to freaking sue me and buy their son a new phone. PUH-LEASE.
Anyway, let's announce the winners and then the reviewers circle. ^-^
Who were the people in the Mabudachi clan?
