Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Breaking the Curse ❯ CHAPTER TWO ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

 

“`It's the first day of school and I, for one, can't wait! I'm from America, and I've always wanted to come here to Japan. How exciting! I feel so welcome and happy here!

-Navi-san'” Minami read this off the notice board. “Well, just as long as she stays away from the Prince---”

“Hi! What's your name?” Someone asked him.

“I'm Yuki Sohma.” He answered.

“I'm Navi Takawa. It's very nice to meet you.” She said.

“You must be the foreign exchange student from America. I read it on the notice board.”

“Why, yes! I've always wanted to come to Japan!”

Minami spun around, out-raged that she dare talk to Prince Yuki like she was Tohru Honda. `They are going to pay big now!' She thought as she looked at Navi.

She had short black hair with little streaks of blonde, and had forest green eyes. Freckles dotted across her nose and on her cheeks. `And,' Minami thought, `She doesn't look right in that skirt.' (This is Minami's opinion.)

The Prince Yuki Fan Club (PYFC) was just about to march over there when Tohru, Hanajima, and Uotani went past them. They walked up to Yuki and Navi, but Hanajima beamed at the PYFC, and they backed off.

“Hey, Yuki, who's that?” Uotani asked, looking at Navi.

“I'm Navi Takawa.” She replied.

“Eh?! Oh… I'm Tohru Honda, and these are my friends: Saki Hanajima, `Hana-chan', and Arisa Uotani, `Uo-chan.'” Tohru said pointing at each of her friends.

“You're lucky.” Hanajima said to Navi.

“Why?” She asked.

“The PYFC. They tried punishing Tohru once for just walking to school with Yuki.”

“Is that girl part of it?” Navi pointed at Minami, who was still near the notice board, watching angrily. She jumped in surprise as she was pointed at, so she rushed off through the door to get home.

The other members of the club also ran to their homes, glancing back at Navi. Especially some of the second years, who were eager to maybe become president, even though Yuki would graduate this year. (He's a… first year?)

Navi blinked. “What did I do?” She asked.

“Well, you kinda put yourself on Minami's `To Be Punished List'.” Uotani said, scratching her neck.

“Minami?”

“Minami Kinoshita, the new president of the PYFC, or… the one you pointed at.”

“Oh.” Again, Navi blinked. “Well, it was nice to meet all of you!” She said, getting ready to leave.

“Wait!” Tohru said, stopping Navi in mid-stride, “Where are you staying?”

“I think the main address was `Akito Sommo' or something like that.” Navi dug through her bag and took out a piece of paper. She showed it to Tohru.

“Yuki! That's Akito Sohma, not Sommo!” Yuki grabbed the paper out of her hands.

“It is! What is he planning?” He looked back down at the paper. “I wonder… Who went to America in Navi's place?” He scanned down the page, “`Ichigo Momomiya, and her friends Mint, Lettuce, Pudding, and Zakuro have gone in the place of Navi and…' Hm. Their names sound fake.” (If you read the anime “Tokyo Mew-Mew, I'm just kidding around here! Fruits Basket is not going to meet TMM in this story.)

“Hey, Tohru-san, maybe I am living with you guys!” Navi said, excited.

“I'm not sure if that's a good idea…” Yuki said, thinking of the Curse.

“Why?”

“Shigure's perverted.”

“Who's that?”

“My relative… unfortunately…”

“You're funny, Yuki-san.”

“I'm not trying to be funny; it's the god damn truth.”

Navi glanced at her watch. “Oh, damn! I got to get to the Sohma main house right now!” she rushed off to the door, waving back at them, “Bye!”

Through the double doors, she was escorted to the Sohma main house, where she met Akito, the head of the family.
