True To Know

by chibisansempei

2. Keep Running

Story: True To Know
Chapter: (2) Keep Running
Pairings: Soon to see.
Warnings:
- This will be based on the anime not the manga. The anime only goes to episode 26 and stops when Tohru goes to see Akito after she sees Kyou's true form. This give me a lot of room to do what ever. I am reading the manga though and will keep some of that as well. MAJOR difference between this and the real thing though. Things will be pretty different.
- I'm not sure yet but knowing me, there will be yaoi. Still not sure though. Just a forethought.
- Names may be spelled wrong
- If you're confused, it may be a good thing. Just ask and I'll clear it up if it won't ruin anything.
- I think I made them OOC. Sorry.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket. Trust me this is a good thing.
So far: We've net the weird personality of Nakano Zi who is basicly, but not, Yuki's twin in looks. He's major 'Don't touch me' and 'Don't help me'. A very negitive person. He finally accepted help after fighting with the woods and trying to convince himself that he is helping Tohru not the other way around. He disappeared the next morning.

A/N: OH MY GOD!!! I know how to update!! It's a miracle! O.O And I have no way to tell if something is misspelled so if you could point out where it is I would be REALLY happy.

On the way to school Yuki began to tell a more detailed story about Zi. It wasn't to much more informative than what Shigure had told but it made a little more sense. And as t turns out, the boy is in his last year of school.

"Oh, and just so you know, Akito has no clue about any of this. Or so we think. Shigure said that it would be best if he wasn't told. Everytime I see him, I have to agree. There's somethng about Zi, I can't explain it, but something's telling me that he shouldn't be aware." After a few minutes of silence, Yuki told Tohru a funny story about a time when Zi was trying to avoid help. He'd nearly set both Shigure's house and, somehow, a shop in town on fire.

-AfterSchool-

Yuki, Kyo and Tohru were walking out of the school, students busteling around everywhere, talking to friends and ignoring annoying family members. As they reached the main gate, someone from behind them loudly said 'Thanks.' and they all turned around. Zi was standing there looking down with his hands in his pockets.

"What do you want?" Kyo asked. Zi loked up a little, obviously trying not to be seen. He glared at Kyo.

"I just wanted to thank you all for... being good to me last night. But if you want to act like that then forget it. I was just trying to be nice. You know, polite, or is that hard for you to comprehend? 'Manners' doesn't seem to be apart of your vocabulary-"

"Zi-"

"Don't 'Zi' me. He's the one with the problem. There's something about you that I don't like, Kyo. Something dirty. Something... wrong." They glared at each other. "And it has little to do with the zodiac." He whispered as he turned away.

"Hey, Zi."

"Yes, Ms Honda?"

"Umm, Shigure said that if we see you we should tell you that you're free to come back when ever you want. Not to stay, if you don't want to, just to visit."

"Of course, it looks like it would be better if you did stay with us." Yuki said. "You said yourself that you had no where else to stay. You might as well join us." Zi looked at them for a second longer before turning around again.

"I'm fine on my own." he said calmly.

"Zi, you really should-"

"I said I'm fine and I meant it. I can do this by my self. I will. Stop offering your help!" He ran away again.

-NextDay(Sunday)-

"Shigure!! Yuki, I'm going to kill you!"

"Sounds like Zi's coming" Tohru got up and opened the door just in time to keep it from being busted again. He ran down the hall and disappeared.

After an hour of not showing back up when the girls left, Shigure, Tohru and Yuki went looking around the house for him. The rat found him passed out in a closet in a position that could not feel well at all. He'd passed out because of a cold. His fever was high and nose running. They placed him in a bed and the next morning he was gone again. Leavng no trace behind.

,.,..,.,..,.,..,.,..

-Monday-

Around the middle of the school day, Zi went to the school and jumped up on the wall. He lay back and took a little nap and stayed asleep even after the final bell. Luckly, Tohru noticed him up there and had the others wait up until all the students were gone. Kyo picked up a fist sized rock and threw it at his face. Zi's hand came up and easly knocked it away before it hit. He turned over, facing towards the school and a loud snore echoed through out the yard. Kyo picked up another rock and this tme it hit him square it the head. Zi fell off the wall and into the school yard. Yuki walked around the gate and sighed at the sight before him. It seemed that Zi was one heavy sleeper. He tried shaking him a little but he stll didn't want to wake up. 'Now what?'

"What's taking so long?" Kyo asked as he, too came around. "He's still asleep? That idiot!" He walked over and reached to grab the back of hs jacket but was stopped by Yuki.

"Trust me, you don't want to do that." Kyo ignored him and grabbed anyway.

"Wake up, stupid! Honestly who falls asleep on a schoolyard wall then falls off whle stayng asleep?!" He shook harder. Before he knew it, Kyo was soaring across the yard with a bloody nose. Yuki had a 'I told you so' look.

"How many times do I have to tell you people not to touch me?!" Yelled a now very awake Zi. "And didn't you know it's bad luck to wake me up before I want to?" He was glaring a hole in Kyo's head and Kyo, who was holding his nose, was returning the favor.

"Calm down, Zi. He hasn't learned you 'rules' yet." He chuckled. "Of course, I doubt he'll follow them anyway." Kyo charged Zi, knocking him over and they began a fist fight neither were really wining.

Finally, Tohru came to the rescue by turnng Kyo into his cat form. Five minutes later they were all walking back to Shigure's house, Tohru was still apollogzing, no matter how many times Kyo said it was okay.

-Shigure's House-

"Hey, Zi..."

"Hmm?"

"You said you were going to be starting at our school. I haven't seen you there yet."

"Yeah. have a few things to do before I can."

"Like what?"

"Just a few things. Don't worry about it. How about we play a game or something?"

"Sure, how about 'RichMan PoorMan'?"

"You'll have to teach me. I'm afraid I've never learned."

"Okay!" 'Well, that was easy. Usually I have to yell at people before they drop it. She's too... simple.'

"He probably needs to find somewhere to live." A nerve popped in s forehead.

"I don't see how that's your business Shigure."

"It's very much my business. How do you think I feel letting you sleep out on the streets?" There went another nerve. "I'm not sayng you should come here I'm just saying."

"Fine, if you must know, I AM looking for an appartment. It seems this town has nothing. And I'm quite old enough to live on my own. So don't worry about it. Leave it be, won't you? Geeze!"

"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were as bad as Kyo." Yuki interupted.

"Actually, if you look hard enough, you can see many of the Sohma in him."

"You're all parinoid." He stood up. "I'm going to go. You're all getting on my nerves and I gotta tell ya, that's hard to do."

"I thought you wanted to play a game." 'Ah, yes. Very simple.'

"Maybe next time."

"Oh. Are you sure you don't wan to st-"

"I'm sure Ms Honda. Quite sure." He left before anyone could say another word.

Chibi: Well, I figured I had spelled some names wrong, they are correct now. Most of all, I'm sorry I spelled Hatori's name wrong. I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THAT!!! He's freaking AMAZING!! I is sorry, Hatori!! I is sorry.
Hatori: ... *Inches away slowly*
Chibi: ...

-Anyway-

Chibi: Well, I'm sure my plot bunny has offcially died but I got ths out for ya. Hope it's not too bad. Wow. That's twce in... what a week and a half or so? Man, I'm on a roll. Now if I could only do that for all the others and for the same stories. Well, I have a pretty good idea for next chapter, hopefully It'll get out sooner. ^.^ Now, on to the next story!! Mwaha!
Zi: You're really weird... I'm not sure if I like that or not. And right now, I'm leaning more for NOT liking it.
Chibi: Where do you think you get it from?! Huh? Oh yeah!! I'm also about to start work on what you look like. Finally a picture for you.
Zi: About time too. You weren't very discruptive.
Chibi: Hmm... You're right. Well, how about this! -Silver hair that's hip length on the right side (Also always covering the right eye) and about ear length on the left, framing the face. Pretty short but not too much, the top of your head comes to about Shigure's nose (Mehe!). Black eyes. Always black or dark grey pants with a long sleeved shirt that is usually some shade of grey, black or white with little to no design, shoes only when nessecary, long jacket that's always open when worn and a thick peice of black cloth that's always around your neck no matter what, 'cept for the obvious shower(Even got it on when swimmng) And FINALLY, a peice of red string tied at both ends to your left ankle with about two inches inbetween hanging loose. I thnk that's about it.
Zi: ...I look strange...
Chibi: Meh. Anyway! Review please. At least one to get the next chapter. I don't think of it as hold it ransome, I just want to make sure someone is actually interested in it. ^.^ SO! Let me know you are. (Also, just for a random thing to say because I HAD to. Before I wrote this part, there were 2,069 words... yeah... So I HAD to write something... I'll just let you think about that...)

Ja!
