Please don't worry Fruba fans; the entries will eventually get to where Kisa finally meets Tohru. Just be patient. Ahem… I don't own Fruits Basket or the characters, so please enjoy and review.
Dear Diary,
The days at school are getting worse. The kids are still picking on me and no one thinks about trying to help me; rather they just join in the teasing even though I know a few of them want to stand up to the popular crowd but they're too afraid. These past three days have been a nightmare. I can't stand it here at school, everyone hates me I just can't find a way to get people to accept me. The only moment of peace I got was during break when I hid myself and I began hearing a voice inside my head calling out to me. I closed my eyes and fell into some sort of trance. As I fell into this trance, my body fell gently to the ground and some barrier was formed around my body. In this trance, I'm in forest with playful little tiger cubs and even a few adolescent tigers that are playing with as well. As we play, a being comes from the stars and gracefully lands in front of me and the tigers I was playing with. The tigers then back away from the being and bow their heads in reverence to the being.
"Behold our great mother, the Celestial Mother Tigress," the tigers said as they lowered their heads and didn't bother to look at the being.
I didn't know what to do, but something inside of me told that I should follow the other tigers' example and bow before the being as well. The being turned into her true form as an aqua blue tigress with sapphire blue stripes and eyes that glowed like emeralds.
"Rise, my child," the tigress said to me as I was hesitant to stand up. A white tiger cub came close to me and urged me to move closer. I nervously got closer while the white tiger cub stayed close as he could without getting close and anger the being. The cub gave me a slight nod as I slowly approached the being.
"W-who are you?" I asked the being nervously.
"You don't know your own mother?" the being calmly asked me.
"I already have a mother," I answered the being.
"Ryoka Sohma, yes I know," said the being. "She is the human who brought you into this world. But you are my child because you have tiger DNA in your body."
"Well I'm possessed by the tiger of the Chinese Zodiac," I stammered in front of the being.
"You are right but my daughter was forced to make that agreement of permanence with that being in China," explained the being.
"Eh, you mean your daughter's spirit is within me?" I asked being called Akitsuka.
"Yes, that is correct," answered Akitsuka. "But you are one of two humans whom my daughters have chosen to take as a human form. But you would've transformed into a humanoid tiger had that Cetra not put that seal on your arm, hidden from the sight of others." I pulled my left sleeve and noticed the Chinese symbol of the tiger on my arm. It startled me because I never noticed it until now.
"How did that get there?" I asked confused and wanting to return to my life.
"All in good time my child," answered Akitsuka as she touched me with her paw and breathed on me. "It is time to awaken the tigress within you. With the tigress within you awoken, you will be able to use your abilities as a tigress without transforming. In a sense I am awakening your animal instincts.
"Your sister shall find you when you are in danger," finished Akitsuka… no I mean Lady Akitsuka. She then left and the forest disappeared with all of the tigers that were in it. I then woke up from my trance and noticed that my arm was glowing as the seal that was placed on me revealed itself and I quickly covered it up before someone noticed it. As I covered up the seal on my arm, I heard the other kids coming to find me and hurt me. It was surprising to me that I could hear them coming from a distance. I decided to use my animal instincts and avoided them until class started. My classmates were surprised that got to the classroom before they spotted me. In my mind I gave them a smirk when they weren't looking at me. After school let out, I quickly darted out of the classroom forgetting about my duties in the classroom. To tell you the truth, I really didn't care about them… if those boys were going to lie in wait and ambush me when I left the classroom, then it was worth forgetting to sweep the classroom. [Yawn] Well good night for now.
