Disclaimer: Why am I writing a disclaimer? It's clear that I don't own anything to do with Fruits Basket.
'Ryuk, the shinigami appears out of nowhere.'
Ryuk: 'Points' What about that?
YYA4: 'looks at a basket full of fruit, mostly apples' This?
Ryuk: Yes. 'Drools'
YYA4: Hey! I didn't know Shinigami's could drool!
Ryuk: 'Reaches for an apple, still drooling'
YYA4: 'Grabs apple and tosses in into Ryuk's mouth' Here you go Ryuk.
Ryuk: 'catches and gobbles it down completely' Apples are sooo… Juicy.
YYA4: Also, I don't own Death Note or Ryuk. 'Sulks' If I did he wouldn't be board and have withdrawals.
Ryuk: 'Looks at YYA4 hopefully' Can I stay with you!?
Japanese Words
I didn't know any girl named Honda, Tohru. It's unusual for a girl to have a boy's name, and she's still in school. I'm guessing she's between the ages of 15 and 17.
One of the ladies who worked here waked past me.
She might know who this Tohru girl is.
"Excuse me, Mam."
I called to her and she turned around, she looked to be in her late 60's.
"Huh? Yes?"
She asked me and took a glance at my tattoo that I decided not to cover up at work.
"I was wondering if you know a girl, between 15-17 years old, her name's Honda, Tohru."
I asked her and her eyes lit up like she remembered a fond memory.
"Ah! Yes. Honda-chan works here part time as a cleaner."
She said and looked worriedly at me.
"Why? Is she in trouble? "
I shook my head and she sighed in relief.
"So what is it you want with Honda-chan?"
I held up the bad English notebook with the tips of my index finger and thumb, it was so bad that it felt like it was burning the skin off my finger tips.
"This is her… English notebook that if found on the ground and no one was around."
I told her, reluctantly calling it an English notebook.
"Oh, dear."
She said worriedly, and I raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?"
I asked her as she looked at my tattoo again
"Honda-chan already went home with her boyfriend a few minutes ago."
She told me and I nodded in understanding.
"Do you know any way I can get this to her? She might need it tomorrow or for studying."
The old lady shook her head.
"I don't know. You can check the employee roster for her address; it shouldn't be a problem for a Ryuujin."
My eyes widen as I recognized her when she smirked.
"Oh! Suzaku-sama! I didn't know it was you."
I bowed low at my waist to her. I heard her chuckle as I slowly looked up, still bowed.
"There's no need for formatives Azure-chan."
She told me and I straitened up, tense as I now knew WHO this person was.
"After all, you are my granddaughter."
She said with a light laugh, as I frowned and blushed in embarrassment. I didn't even recognize my own grandmother!
Kyoto, Suzaku, the head female elder of The Four God clans. The Kamegami's of the North, The Fenikkusu's of the South, The Ryuujin's of the East, and the The Toratentei's of the west. Her husband, Kyoto, Orochi, is the head elder.
They are the two that brought the four god families together by blood, and one of the very few arranged marriages that turns out well.
She had given birth to my father and his brothers, triplets, and a girl two years later.
"I-i-I agonize for my rudeness Suza-"
She glared at me mid sentience, she may be old, but she has a killer death glare.
"Grand-ma."
She smiled, at that. I was still scared of her.
"That's better! Now go check the employee roster for her address and give it to her or else-"
She was saying until I saw the evil gleam in her eye, I didn't need to be told twice.
I HATE GOTHIC LOTA!!!
Suzaku-sama was right; it wasn't hard for me to ask for Honda-san's address, which was along my way to the temple, oddly enough.
After covering up my Tattoo, I didn't want the girl or her parents to freak out, I was on my way to return her notebook, and maybe offer to tutor her in English.
I walked into the forest where her home, when a rustle of the bushes caught my attention, I looked to the bushes.
Nothing, so I just carried on to returning the girl's notebook.
However, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched.
I came upon a cozy little home with two floors, in the classic Japanese stile.
Coming up to the door I heard the trees rustling this time, which confirmed my suspicions as I closed my eyes and consecrated on reaching my mind out.
'Don't come out until I call you.'
I thought and the trees rustled in response.
Ringing the door bell, I waited for some one to come to the door, glancing over at the trees that didn't rustle this time.
Hearing the door open I turned back around to see a male, around his late 20's open the door.
He wore a dark green yukata and a darker green belt tying it together.
He had short black hair and dark eyes; he looked kind of like that 'doctor' I ran into the other day. The man gave off a weird vibe almost like him.
"Oh! Um? Hello. Does a girl by the name Honda, To-"
"STUPID RAT!!! WHY DON'T YOU JUST FACE ME LIKE A MAN!!!"
I was interrupted by a loud male voice yelling.
"This is no time to argue. The food Honda-san prepared will just go to waist. So sit down you stupid cat."
This one was soft male voice but I could still hear it.
The man turned around to the disturbance as a young girl, around 15, walked out of a room and into the hallway.
She had strait dark brown hair and innocent round blue eyes and she wore a light pink blouse, with light blue pants.
'She must be Honda, Tohru.'
The girl noticed me and seemed to go in a panic.
"OH! A visitor! I-i-i'm sorry! I'll go make some tea right away!"
The girl strutted out, why go make tea when I haven't even said a complete sentence to the man who answered the door.
"Wait!"
I starched my arm out past the man to the girl. She froze on the spot one leg in the air.
"I just came to return your notebook to you."
I told her and she seemed to unfreeze, looking back at me with a confused/panicked look.
"W-w-what!?"
I pulled out her note book out of the light blue messenger bag Uncle Kisame gave me today, and held it by the tips of my fingers like before.
"This is your... English notebook?"
I asked her as she came over to take it from me. The man had slipped away and, supposedly, the two boys still argued in the background along with the sound of things braking.
She came over and took it from me as I let it go as soon as I knew it wouldn't fall. Checking my finger tips incase the notebook did really burn me. It didn't.
The girl looked at me like I was god giving her a holy mission.
"Oh! Yes it is. Thank you for returning it. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble."
I smiled at her.
"It was no trouble at all. It was on my way home."
She seemed to freak out at that.
"What!? W-w-way out h-here!?"
She strutted so much it was cute.
"Yeah, but I live much further up the mountains."
I told her but that seemed to make it worst.
"H-HUH!?"
Getting nervous when the trees started to rustle more without any wind blowing.
"Don't worry about it. I love to walk and run. Also..."
The rustling got louder now that the two boys were quite. The girl looked behind me at the trees, my blood ran cold.
"What was that?"
I stepped in her way to distract her.
"It was just the wind. Now as I was saying, I read threw some of your notes and I find that you can do much better."
I told her, she is probably thinking that's why I barely touched her notebook but is guess I was wrong as she looked up confusingly at me.
"I was wondering if you would like me to tutor you in English."
Another rustle.
'STAY!'
I yelled out in my mind and the rustling stopped instantly. Honda-san's eyes lit up, nearly in tears.
"Oh! That would be great, Um-"
"Sorry. My name is Ryuujin, Azure."
I told her my name.
"Ah! Ryuujin-san! Thank you so much!"
She bowed low at her waits to me, looking more like she was apologizing to me instead of thanking me.
"Don't mention it. Here's my card."
I took out a card I had made at a vending machine with a blue zodiac dragon on it, as well as my name and numbers she could call to reach me.
She took it and looked at the card for a while.
"I better get home, now. It will be to dark for me to see soon."
I looked over my shoulder, the trees had stopped rustling, I walked backwards as I waved goodbye to her.
"It was nice meeting you Honda-san!"
I said before 4 speeding it out of there to find Hazumi, who was feeling neglected since I was at work nearly the whole day, she had come to find me while hiding in the trees.
YYA4: How did you like that?
Ryuk: That was 'Grins' interesting.
YYA4: Now that I have a shinigami of my own! This will be even more fun!
Ryuk: Yeah. Raito's gone so I get to stay with YYA4!
YYA4: 'Throws apple into the air' Good Shinigami.
Ryuk: 'Catches it and starts eating'
YYA4: This chapter turned out longer then I usually do, and don't expect a new chapter the next day. It might take me 2 days or a week to post a new chapter.
Ryuk: So YYA4 is going to post every 2 days at most.
YYA4: 'Throws another apple into the air'
Ryuk: 'Catches it and starts eating'
