Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Catch of The Day ❯ The Prologue ( Prologue )

"I can't believe I got roped into this." Uotani Arisa remarked from her seat at the end of the canoe. It did seem to be a strange situation to be in. She, the Yankee, dressed in a long pleated skirt and blue blouse, was sitting in the middle of the crystal clear lake with a fishing rod in her hand with her classmate Sohma Kyou. He, at the other end of the canoe, had already taken one of the sparkling, eye-catching lures from the tackle box between them and had attached it to his fishing rod.

He cast out his line and extended it out into the water. "Are you going to start fishing or do you need me to help you?" he smirked at her as she stared into the box.

She looked back up at him and hastily grabbed a worm from the jar. "I don't need your help," she retorted. Without hesitation, she speared it through her hook. "Glad that isn't you, huh, Kyou?" She grinned. He almost winced at the look of contentment she got from the it - almost. Had she been Tohru, he absolutely would have had attach the creature for her. She was a lot different than Tohru, by far.

It was an interesting story of how they got out into that canoe so early that morning. He really hadn't planned on it. They were barely friends; their only connection was their friendship with Tohru.

Now how did this story begin?
