Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket at all, in anyway.
Me: So, I might just update like 2 times a week? Maybe on Tuesdays and Saturdays, I'm not sure yet. I've also but up a Stand by Me Fanfic, check it out!
Kiki: If you've never seen that movie, you haven't lived.
Me: That's true, anyway Kiki get's a bit saucy in this chapter, and you get to see her temperamental side.
Kiki: I'm not that bad, only when I'm tired or something...
Me: On with the story!
(/^_^)/ And love, such a silly game we play, like a summers day in May (/^_^)/
"I didn't ask in the first place, so calm down. How's the food, do you like it?" I ask pointing towards the food we we're currently eating. Kyo doesn't answer at first but instead looks at Yuki.
"What do you want?" Kyo ask Yuki.
"Nothing." Yuki answers simply.
"You were staring at me." Kyo replies.
"No just looking." Yuki says, again very simply.
"Well, I guess there's a first time for everything!" Kyo says, snapping his chopsticks at him, cat ears popping out of his head.
"So you like it?" I ask, gesturing towards the food.
"No, I don't!" he yells.
"Oh." I say making an 'o.o' face.
(/^_^)/ What is love, what is love? I just want it to be love. (/^_^)/
"I know, let's play Rich man poor man!" Tohru says, holding up a deck of cards. I kept my head on my desk, I went to sleep really late last night, and I'm completely exhausted.
"I don't want to play with that stupid Yuki." Kyo says, mumbling under his breath.
"Running away from a challenge, what are you? Some kind of sissy?" Uo says satanically to Kyo.
"Fine, I'll play your stupid game! Just don't cry when I beat you." Kyo says, getting in Uo's face.
"How about we make this interesting, loser cleans the entire class room." Uo says, continuing to face off with Kyo.
"Do you want to play Kiki?" Tohru ask me, poking my arm. I grunted and lift my head. I was just about to say no way but Tohru had her puppy dog face on.
"Yeah, I'll play." I mumble resting my head on my arm.
"Let's ask Yuki if he wants to play too! Yuki, want to play rich man, poor man? Oh, you're not here..." Tohru says, looking around the classroom.
I got out of my seat and grabbed the bathroom pass, I want a drink. What can I say? I'm a thirsty girl. When I exited the classroom, I spotted Yuki.
"I'm sorry; I'm just not ready to be in a relationship right now. So, I think it'd be best if we just-"Yuki says to this short brunette girl in front of him.
"No, don't say it! Yuki!" she says, going to hug him, but he stops her. He stopped her by grabbing her head. I had to resist bursting out laughing.
"Uh, I'm sorry."Yuki says, still holding her head.
"It is just, you were always so nice. You really just don't want to get close to anyone do you? You shut everyone out, like you think you're better than them. So I guess a normal girl like me just isn't good enough for you! Is that it?" She says, backing up. I stepped out of where I was hiding for the time being and stood next to Yuki.
"No, you desperate fuck, you're not normal, you're a fan girl. Also, you need to control your volume, because you're giving me a headache with your screaming, and you need to calm down before I drop kick you in your forehead." I say slowly, like I'm talking to a child. Did I mention I'm tired and grumpy?
"What are you? He wouldn't go out with you either! He just thinks he's better that everyone!" She says, screaming at me.
"Yo, you need to lower your volume, before I punch you in your throat and you are unable to talk. To answer your question I'm his friend, more than you'll ever be. So, why don't you scamper along before I change my mind and just kick you in the head right now?"I say, spitting the words out like venom. The random girl of course, did as I said and ran down the hall, crying.
Oh well I thought to myself. I turn towards Yuki, who seemed frozen.
"You, learn to let a girl down a little harsher. If you continue letting them down easy, that's the kind of results you'll get. I shouldn't be giving advice but I've had my fair share of people asking me out, but I've heard that I'm also too harsh, but you are way too soft with this." I say, lightly shoving him on the shoulder. He gave a short laugh, and lightly shoved me back. I started to walk to the vending machine at the end of the hallway.
"Hey, thanks for that, back there. How can I make it up for you?" Yuki says, giving me a small smile.
"Well, you can buy me a coffee from the vending machine, I don't have any change."I say to him, smirking and started to walk to the vending machine, him following. I started to burst out laughing.
"Are you going to come to class? We're playing Rich Man, Poor Man." I ask him grabbing my coffee from his hand.
"No, I think I'll take a walk." Yuki says, beginning to walk away.
"Hey, don't let what that girl said get to you, okay? She was just desperate, and rejected." I say, before walking into the classroom and sitting down at my desk, where everyone had gathered around to play.
"Revolution!" Kyo says, nodding to me as a 'hey'.
"You cheater, what kind of cheap tricks are you trying to pull!" Uo asks, looking at her cards, Tohru handed me mine.
"I held them while you went to the bathroom." Tohru says before going back to the game.
"I'm not cheating those are the rules!" Kyo yells.
"Let's see, revolution makes all high cards low, right?"Tohru asks.
"Wait, Reverse Revolution." Hana says, holding out her 4 of her cards.
Everyone started to make fun of Kyo, considering now he had the most horrible hand.
(/^_^)/ I-I-I-I-I- I can feel it in your kiss, it just gives me tender bliss (/^_^)/
Tohru and Yuki we're speaking in the corner while I was gathering my books to put them in my brown messenger bag. I was pretty good with my grades and stuff, considering I rarely study.
Kyo continued to rush around the classroom cleaning, like some type of speed demon maid.
"Seems like Kyo was the loser today." Yuki says, looking at Kyo before going back to Tohru.
"Yeah, but I'll still help him clean up."Tohru says, also glancing at Kyo.
"No, a loss is a loss. Don't worry about it; I'll win next time, just like I'll win against you!" Kyo exclaimed, pointing at Yuki
"Wait, wait, I think I've heard this one before." Yuki says, unaffected by the volume that Kyo was at; meanwhile I had to cover my ears.
"No joke, asshole. I'm going to beat you, that's a promise." Kyo continues.
"You should really stop making your inferiority complex, my problem." Yuki says in monotone.
"I swear, every time you open your mouth it pisses me off!"Kyo yells, already being in Yuki's face, Yuki had to take a mini step back.
"Every time you open yours you sound like an idiot."
They continue on like this while I walked over to Tohru.
"Kyo needs to stop starting arguments about everything, and Yuki needs to stop feeding into him..."I mumble to Tohru, slinging my bag over my shoulder. I could tell that Tohru wasn't paying attention to me when she got this dreamy look in her eye and silently clapped her hands together.
"I'm gunna break that pretty boy face!" Kyo screams at Yuki, holding his fist at his side.
"You guys-" Tohru started, putting her hands up, I guess she was going to try to stop them before it got to them-
"That's it! Let's go!" Kyo says, throwing a punch right at Yuki's face, which is dodged.
Fighting. I sweat dropped at Tohru's timing.
Yuki in return just kicked Kyo in the jaw, sending him on his back.
"Ugh, I can't even stand to look at you." Yuki says, glaring at Kyo, before exiting the classroom. Tohru and I stayed silent but if you were a mind reader all your would hear from me is
'DAYYYYUMMMMMMM! OHHHHHHHH' continuously.
"Dammit, why can't I ever kick him in the head for a change?" Kyo mumbles, rubbing his head.
"It was actually your jaw; you just landed on your head..." I say, looking away.
"Whatever, the point is he really did try to lay me out today, he must be in a bad mood or something." Kyo says before getting up and mopping the floor again.
"I have to go, I have work." I say, bidding my goodbyes and heading off to work.
(/^_^)/ When I see, you around, I was mad as hell, when I hit the ground. (/^_^)/
"Two bowls of curry, one salmon platter and 3 soups of the days please!" I yell to the kitchen area before carrying 4 cups of water to a table.
"Your food's on its way." I say to the table of teenage boys, giving them the 'I'm-only-smiling-because-I-have-to-smile' smile. I had to say, they were all pretty good looking. All of them were different too, one had red hair and green eyes, another had brown hair and hazel eyes, then blonde with blue eyes, and then black hair with brown eyes. I noticed none of them really looked like they came from here; they had no accents, well that I could place at the time being.
"Alright, what's your name kitty cat?" The one with brown hair and hazel eyes asks me.
Curse this restaurant for having themes, see every week they put up a new theme, sometimes it's not bad, and other times it is, like this week. We all wore cat ears and tails, plus the eyeliner drawn black nose and whiskers.
"It's Kiki, anything else, I have other tables." I say, seeing from the corner of my eye my other table's food being put out.
"Nope, that's all." he says, winking at me. I roll my eyes and leave to my next table.
I wonder what the boys are doing today to eat, I already told them I wouldn't be able to cook, and neither could Tor. I brushed the thought off and went to greet my new customers, table for 3, so I set up a booth before going to get them.
Unfortunately, you speak of the devil, and the devil shall l appear, but in this case it'd be devils. Low and behold, there was Yuki, Kyo and Shigure standing before me in utter shock. I twitched before putting my smile back on.
"Of course, this way, please." I say, leading them towards their table.
"Is that a tail?" Shigure asks me, as they slid into the booth. Of course, my manger had to walk over at this time.
"Yes, it is. Every week we have a different theme, this week is cats, next week is being voted on by our customers, it is between super heroes and geek week." I say, faking cheer.
"Ah-elm, I think you're missing something at the end there." Mr. Tamaki says, tsk-ing at me.
"Right, excuse me, let me re-phrase that.'It is between super heroes and geek week, nya.'" I say, forcing out the last little part. Mr. T seemed to be satisfied because he left without another word, leaving me to the expense of these 3.
"Listen, I have a lot of tables to cover, and so little time. So this is how this is going to go down. You're going to give me your orders, I'm going to get you your food, you'll pay for your food, then leave and we will never speak of this again. Got it?" I say in a threatening voice. I first point at Kyo for an answer.
"Works for me."Kyo mumbles, sitting at far away as Yuki as possible. I point at Yuki next, already knowing his answer.
"Whatever you want, Ms. Honda." Yuki says to me, before looking at his menu. I finally point at Shigure, the real one I was threatening.
"Why wouldn't I respect your privacy of concealing your work place, I am shocked that you'd think of me in such a way.
"You'll need a few minutes with your order? No problem, I'll be back in a few, nya." I say before going to the kitchen area getting the boys soup and setting in down.
"I'm Dave by the way." The brown haired boy says. I nod in response.
"That's Conner," he pointed at the red head "Jason" he pointed at the blonde "and Warren" he pointed towards the one with the black hair.
"I got it, Dave, Conner, Jason and Warren. Do you want anything else?" I say; already grabbing their waters for re-fills.
"We're not from around here and we need a place to stay the night, preferably somewhere in this town." Conner says.
"There's a affordable hotel around here, You have to go up 3 blocks, make a left on to Main, and just go straight until you see 'Yuri's Inn', if you start seeing drunks, you've gone too far." I say, slowing down a bit when I see Jason writing everything down.
"Thanks." Jason says, after I repeated everything about 5 times to make sure everything he had down was right.
"Maybe I should have your number, you know in case we get lost." Dave asks, winking yet again.
"Maybe you shouldn't." I say, winking back. I walked away and serve the rest of my tables, soon enough the only tables I had left to serve we're still these guys (they wanted desert) and Shigure's table (they also wanted desert).
"Here you go, one strawberry crepe, a piece of vanilla cake and a piece of pure dark chocolate cake, bitter as ever." I say, handing Shigure the vanilla cake, Yuki the crepe and Kyo the other cake.
"Thank you" they all say, well Yuki and Kyo mumble it and Shigure already stuffed it in his mouth so it came out kind of muffled.
"Yeah, no problem."I say before walking away and getting the other table's desert.
"I have your desert, one rice pudding for Warren, one piece of strawberry cake for Jason, 2 sugar cookies for Dave and one chocolate sundae for Conner." I say, putting their food down in front of them.
"Do you dance?"Conner asks.
"Excuse me?" I ask baffled at why he would ask me that.
"Well, were recording our album and music video here and they recommended this dance studio to find dancers? So we went there and the guy said to come here and ask for Kiki, and that's you." he explains.
"Yeah, I dance, but listen I'm on duty right now, so I actually will give you my number so you can call when you want to meet up or whatever, I have work and school most days, but I'm sure we'll find a way. Don't give it to Dave though; I don't want him stalking me or something." I say, grabbing a sharpie from my pocket.
"Great, and I won't, you won't regret this." Jason says, smiling.
"Yeah, just one of you gives me your arm." I say, they all of course stick out their arm but I choose Conner's and write my number on it.
"So there you go, and here is your receipt." I say, before walking back to the one other table that I had to finish.
"How are you guys doing?" I ask.
"Did you just give your number out?" Kyo asks.
"Ohm, yeah I did, but I only wrote it once, though I do think all of them will somehow get it." I say, giving the receipt to Shigure as he slips the amount of money in.
"Are you stupid?" Kyo asks.
"Excuse me, but last time I checked, you weren't my father." I say, pointing at Kyo.
"I'm sure you have a good reason for giving out your number right, Miss Honda?" Yuki asks me.
"Yes, Yuki, I do." I say, taking the bill and money from Shigure and giving him back the change. Though, he waved me away, its $15 change, I can't take that as a tip.
"No way, Jose, I can't take $15 as a tip." I say to them.
"It's the least we can do, for Kyo being so ignorant as to ask you why you giving your number to someone, when it's obviously none of his business" Yuki answers.
I laugh as Kyo's face turns completely red. He was about to say something when I feel a tap on my shoulder, and turn around to see Conner and Dave. They handed me the money and receipt.
"Oh thanks, I would have gone over in a second." I say, taking the money and receipt.
"No, we're heading out now, but thanks for everything, I was thinking maybe Sunday we could meet up?" Conner asks.
"Yeah, it's my please and I have work until 5 so around 5:30?" I ask him.
"That's perfect, but I'll text you to confirm and everything." Conner answers.
"Alright, no problem, see you then. Bye Dave, Conner." I say, as I see Dave sink at me then walk away. Conner gives me a short hug and says bye.
"~oh, so you're going on a date with him, but why would his friend wink at you? Maybe a forbidden romance? Who will it be Kiave or Kionner? The agony! ~" Shigure says, being dramatic.
"Just leave, please. We'll talk about this later, just...go."I say, too exasperated to say anything. With that, I put the money minus the tips into the cash register and went to the back room.
(/^_^)/ I just won't say, no-no-no love. What a silly game we play? (/^_^)/
