Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Beyond the Door ❯ So close to freedom ( Chapter 1 )

 

“Akito, why won't you let me become leave the main house? Why are you so protective of me? You let Yuki live on the outside and you wont even let me leave the house!” asks Mitsuki.

Why…..you ask? Because you are cursed…Have you forgotten...Shall I make you remember? Akito replies.

Mitsuki becomes very still, and quiet.

Akito continues “What makes you think you are better than me! I am the head of this family…I forbid you from leaving this house…I have already givin you to much freedom already…..Are you done wasting my time yet? Leave….before I get angrier.”

As Mitsuki walks out of the room she talks to herself. “Well he was in a good mood today...I thought he was going to lock me up for sure. Well lets look on the bright side I am not in confinement…I am not sick…and I haven't had an attack today.”

Hello my name is Mitsuki Sohma. I am 16 years old and two older siblings…but they don't know that I exist. 13 people in my family are possessed by the vengeful spirit of the Chinese zodiac. My brother Ayame is possessed by the Snake and my twin brother Yuki is possessed by the rat. I am also possessed by the rat, but nobody knows how. There is only supposed to be one rat. I also have a strange gift that lets me see into the future. Most of my life I have lived with the head of my family, Akito, because my parents didn't want me…my brother Yuki continued to live there while I lived with Akito. I have met Yuki only once in my life, but he thought he was looking in a mirror. I hear Yuki now lives on the “outside” which means he doesn't live in the main house. I have never left the main house, but I badly want to leave this ”prison” and become a normal person. As you can probably guess Akito won't allow this. I have only talked to about 6 people my entire life…this is all about to change.

____________________An Hour Later__________________________

“Mitsuki-san it is time for dinner” the maid kindly reminds her. Mitsuki looks up from her book.

“Tell Akito-san I am not hungry, so I will not be dinning with him tonight” Mitsuki requested.

The Maid continues “But your health needs you to eat, Mitsuki-san. I do not wish to tell Akito that you refuse to eat. So please just eat.”

Mitsuki lost her temper.

“THAT'S YOUR FAULT FOR WORKING FOR A MAD MAN! I NEVER WISH TO SPEAK TO HIM AGAIN. I WILL NOT ACCEPT HIS FOOD. I WILL SIT HERE UNTIL HE LETS ME LEAVE TH………” Mitsuki falls to the floor unconscious.

“Mitsuki-san, an attack, I will inform Akito!” the maid exclaimed.

Hey it's me again, Mitsuki. I forgot to tell you. I have weak bronchial tubes (like my brother) so I have attacks like this all the time. This is nothing to worry about. I can't remember exactly what happened then but I woke up in Hatori's house ~Hatori is our family doctor. He is also cursed by the vengeful spirit of the Dragon, but he doesn't think I know. I love being psychic sometimes.~

Hatori has black hair that covered his left eye. He was in his late twenties. He is very tall.

“Good Evening Mitsuki. I heard you had another argument with Akito again. Mitsuki, I am not going to lie to you, I have no idea what it is like being at watch by Akito 24-7. But I think you should listen to him…for your own sake.” Hatori exclaims.” Mitsuki rolls her eyes.

“What a nice way to greet someone, Hatori. I know you are only looking out for me, but I can take care of myself. I don't need a doctor to tell me to behave. All I want is to leave the Sohma house for once. I would like to see a school. Maybe even see my “brother”, which nobody thinks I know about. I know I am just being selfish for wanting all these things.”

“That is quite a lot of things to want. There are a lot of obstacles in our way, for most of these things to happen. Akito probably has good reason for not letting you have them. I probably could get a good word to get you in school if you wanted me too.”

“Would you really Hatori?!? I would be very happy if you would.” Exclaimed Mitsuki.

 

 

 

Well Hatori convinced Akito to let me go to school, under some conditions.

~Condition List~

I would dye my hair. (My purple hair is now black. What is the point, it will change back after I transform)

I would get colored contacts.

I would not talk any of the members of the Sohma family who went to the same school and would not talk to Tohru Honda.

What a lot to expect from a girl who never seen the outside before. This is quite shocking experience.
