Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Ushinatta Kako Atarashi Mirai ❯ Arguements, a Blonde and a Kiss ( Chapter 2 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Yay! Second chapter is up! It took me forever to write it. I had originally done the first three chapters, but my computer caught a virus, and well, I had to start over again.
I hope this story is good enough to be continued. . . . .because I think I need to improve my writing/typing. I'm getting too slow.
Hatori comes into this chapter. He is a little out of character, but that's how I needed him in the story line. Please forgive me for doing so.

Chapter Two:
Arguments, A Blonde And A Kiss
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*
Recap:
“I suggest that we don't bring Kira up any more. We haven't spoken of her since she left us, and I don't want to start something by it.”
“What ever, you stupid mutt,” he said before storming upstairs.
“Why did Kira leave?”
“I don't know.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*
The next few weeks passed quickly. Alix had continued sitting with the group of friends, enjoying their company.
Alix had invited Tohru, Uo and Hana over for a sleep over, where they ate lots of sugar, watched some movies and played truth or dare. The other girls soon learnt about the crush Alix had developed for Kyo, and she found out that Tohru had a big thing for the purple haired Yuki. Alix had threatened the other two that if they told the boys in question, they would suffer awful deaths. Although the girls nodded and agreed, they picked up a habit of hinting when ever the boys were around.
Speaking of habits, Alix had come up with a nickname for Kyo. She was always seeing Yuki call him a stupid cat, and decided that she would call him Silly Kitty. She thought it was cute. The first time she had called him by it, he had thrown a fit, telling her that she was never to call him that again. She just smirked and kissed his cheek, effectively making him stumble over his words, making it come out that he wanted her to call him it. So the name stuck like glue and she always referred to him as her Silly Kitty, although, now he ignored her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Today she had been invited over to the Sohma's house to visit Shigure. She had objected at first, but gave in when Tohru pleaded with her. Alix didn't want to go, because Kyo was ignoring her. Although, she was eager to meet Shigure, so she had given in and agreed.
After school had finished for the day, they four of them walked to the secluded house. Kyo ignored Alix all the way, and Alix just stayed quiet only talking to answer some one. Upon arriving at the drive way, Alix stopped and stared at the property. The place was a forest for frick's sake! There were huge trees, growing right next to the long cobble drive way. You couldn't see into the vegetation because it was so thick and dark. She continued to look at it even as she was lead up the path.
How can a place have a forest on the land! I only got a huge ass mansion, they get a fricken forest! Life is so unfair.
A small traditional house stood out in a clearing at the top of the small hill, Alix hadn't even noticed that they were going up. A man dressed in a dark green kimono, was waiting on the veranda to greet them. Alix put out her hand to shake, as the man did so, but saw two fists come down hard on the black haired man, knocking him to his knees.
“Stay away from her you pervert!” Yelled Kyo and Yuki as they stood over the man's hunched figure.
“Oh, my god, are you okay?” she asked, helping him up.
“I'm fine. They always do that. My names Shigure, you must be Alix.”
“Yes I am,” she said to his retreating back as he walked into the house. She turned to Yuki. “That wasn't very nice, you could have hurt him.”
“Give him five minutes and you'll want us to hit him again,” Kyo grumbled at her as he passed them and went into the house followed by Tohru, Yuki and a very confused Alix.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inside the man had sat down at the table, with an ice pack that Tohru had given him. Tohru went into what Alix assumed was the kitchen to make some tea.
“So… it's nice to meet you,” Alix said, hoping to break the silence that had filled the room since they got in. Alix had watched Kyo shuck his shoes and had spoken to Yuki.
“I think Kyo is sick, he spoke to me,” she said softly, but Kyo heard her and stormed up stairs loudly. Now Alix was sitting at the table along with Shigure and Yuki while Tohru made the tea.
“And it's nice to meet one of Kyo's friends. He doesn't have too many.”
“Not surprising if he brings up this Kira bitch,” she muttered.
“Ah, yes. Kira. Well, you do look like her, but you don't act like her, and she was in love with him, and you obviously aren't.”
“Don't be sure of that,” she said as Kyo entered the room. He looked at her before sitting down on the opposite side of the table. “Hey.”
“You better not have told her about Kira, you stupid dog. I'll kill you if you have.”
“No, I brought the bitch up, not him. Don't blame the poor man.” She sighed.
“Don't call her a bitch.”
“I could have sworn that you called her one just a few weeks ago. Besides, I think that she's a bitch. It's my opinion and you can't do a damn thing about you stupid cat.”
“I knew there was a reason I could never like you, you're too much like her.” He said before storming back upstairs.
“Stupid bitch,” Kira snapped to herself. “Smart move Alix, piss him off…” she looked up realising she had spoken out loud. “Oops. Bad habit.”
“Kira!!” Came a voice from the front door as a small blond girl? No, boy ran towards her, prepared to leap on her. Yuki intercepted his smaller cousin, grabbing him around the waist.
“That's not Kira, Momiji. This is Alix.” Yuki said softly, and nodded when Kira smiled thankfully at him. He released Momiji who sat beside Alix and stared at her.
“If you're not Kira, who are you?” he asked, eyeing her off curiously.
“I'm Alix. And I am not this Kira person. Can you people stop saying that?”
“But you are…n't anything like her.” He finished off, taking in the look she was giving him. Shigure looked at him curiously, but didn't say anything.
“I like you already. So, who are you?”
“My name is Momiji Sohma!” he said happily.
“Another Sohma? How many of you are there?”
“Lots. So how come you're here?”
Alix sighed. “I came to meet Shigure, but I'm starting to think I was a bad idea.” She said, twisting her fingers.
“How come?” Momiji asked, cocking his head to one side.
“I pissed Kyo off. Again. I called this Kira chick a bitch. He didn't like it.”
“He doesn't like anything, so don't worry abut it,” Momiji said, before thanking Tohru who handed him some tea.
Alix accepted a cup of tea from Tohru and sighed contently as she took a deep breath, inhaling the lovely aroma of the hot liquid. “Mmm… peppermint.”
She sipped at it, and melted. She mewled in content.
“Some one likes their peppermint,” Shigure commented. Alix stuck her tongue out at him.
“I love peppermint. My doctor makes it for me.”
“That's nice. It relaxes your body. Kira liked it too.”
“Why don't you just stop talking about her?” Kyo snapped as he appeared behind Shigure. Alix glanced up at him, then turned her attention back to her tea. The anger that was present in his eyes, was painful, because she knew it was at her. She sighed and put her tea down on the table. With out a word to anyone, she pulled out her cell phone and rung someone. She mumbled something into it and hung up.
“Stop it.”
“Stop what?” she asked confused, finally looking up at him.
“Stop this fucking game. It's driving me insane. I know that you're fucking with me. You want to see me squirm. Stop it.”
“Kyo, I have know idea what you are talking about. Eep!” Kyo had appeared in front of her and now had her chin in his hand, forcing her to look at him.
“Say it to my face. Lie to me.” He tightened his grip slightly.
Alix forced the tears back as she gritted her teeth against the pain his hold was causing. “Fuck you Kyo. I'm not playing no fucking game. Let me go!”
“I loved you, Kira. Not any more.”
Alix snapped. No one was going to call her Kira. She slapped him across the face, and ran out of the living room. She grabbed her bag and shoved her feet into her shoes. She opened the door and was about to storm out, but a hand on her shoulder stopped her. She stood her ground, not bothering to look back.
“Fuck off Kyo. I hate you.”
“I'm not the idiot. I was going to walk you to the road. Is that okay?” Yuki asked.
“Sure. I don't care.” She allowed Yuki to escort her down the long drive way to the road. Alix sat on the stone wall and sighed.
Yuki frowned at her. “I'm sorry about Kyo-”
“Don't. I don't want to hear his name. I hate the dick head. Don't stick up for him.”
“I'm not. He shouldn't have done that.”
“I don't care any more. I just want to go home.”
“You like him, don't you?”
“No. Not any more. Thank you. You're a good friend.” She said as the limo pulled up. She kissed his cheek gently and got into the limo, before it drove off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Alix didn't turn up at the beginning of class. Kyo was beginning to wonder if he had really upset her. In the middle of maths, Alix came in. Except she wasn't the same way they had left her yesterday. Her long waist length black hair; was now honey blonde, and just below her shoulders. She handed the teacher a note who looked at it, nodding his head. She walked to her seat and sat down, completely ignoring the looks Kyo was giving her. She pulled out her notebook and began copying the stuff off the board, all of it with out her usual smile at him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At lunch, Alix didn't sit with the group. Instead she had chosen another tree on the other side of the grounds. She lent up against it, with a book, as she nibbled at her lunch.
“What the hell is up with her?!” Kyo yawned as he sat on his branch in the tree they were sitting under.
“I have no idea, but I wonder why her hair is blonde. She is even wearing make up. I've never seen her wearing makeup.” Uo said, glaring at the orange haired boy in the tree.
“What do you want me to do about it?” the boy in question asked.
“See what's wrong with her, you stupid cat.”
“I don't care what's wrong with her. You do it if you're so worried.” Kyo snapped back.
“Alright, I will.” Yuki stood up and walked across the grounds to where Alix was sitting. She didn't even bother to look up from her book.
“Alix, may I sit here?”
“Do what you will,” she said in a new monotone voice that none of them had heard from her before.
“May I ask why you dyed your hair?”
“I was bored and drunk and it turned out blonde. What of it?”
“This doesn't have anything to do with Kyo and yesterday does it?”
“No, nothing to do with the dumb idiot. I felt like something new.” She said looking up at him, for the first time that day. Her sky blue eyes were enhanced by the black mascara and the eyeliner that she was wearing, accompanied by the black eye shadow. Her lashes looked longer and thicker, making her very beautiful. He noticed that she had decided to break some of the school rules, by wearing a lot of jewellery. And by painting her nails black.
“I don't like people staring at me.” She said gruffly.
“Sorry. I know that Kyo is a baka, and he shouldn't have spoken to you like that, but if you like him, I'll do something to get him to apologise.”
“No thank you. Apology not needed, ever. I'm fine. I was actually thinking of hiding in the bathroom and seeing how long it takes for me to die of blood loss from cutting my wrists.”
“Please, don't talk like that. Don't go hurting your self because of my stupid cousin.”
“Prince Boy, I was joking. I'm over him. I'm not going to moon over a guy who treats me like shit. When you get back to the others, tell your stupid cousin that it is rude to stare.” She went back to her book, putting a set of ear-phones in her ears. Yuki looked over at the others to see Kyo watching the two intently. He smirked. Even though Kyo was telling everyone that he hated her, he really did like her.
“Okay, I'm going to go back now. Don't forget we're doing assignments in Social Studies today.”
“Yeah, alright. Sure cya,” she said waving him off and returning to her book. Yuki sighed, standing up and returning to his other friends. When he reached them they looked at him, clearing asking him what the problem was.
“I think its Kyo, and what he said to her yesterday, but she won't say.” He said glumly sitting down beside Tohru.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After lunch they went inside to Social Studies. Indeed they were doing assignments. The teacher explained everything. And split them into pairs. Bad move on his half.
Kyo was paired with Alix. Rather, she was paired with him. And she was not happy with the arrangement. She followed him to a corner of the room. Sitting on the floor, she pulled out the paper they had been given and set to work. Kyo dropped down beside her and watched her work.
“Pencil please,” she said holding her hand out for the item, not bothering to look up at him. Kyo sighed and handed her the tool.
“Look, about yesterday…”
“Ruler please,” she held her hand out again. He put the ruler in her hand.
“Why are you ignoring me?”
“I'm not. Pen please.”
He handed her that too. “You are exactly like her. Stubborn. OW!” he said after she threw the pen at him.
She stood up and left him there, taking the work with her. She went over to Yuki and Tohru and sat down with them.
“What are you doing here?” Yuki asked her as she dumped her papers on top of theirs.
“Not working with him, that's for sure.”
“What has he done now?” Yuki asked as he looked over what she had done.
“Same thing he did yesterday.”
“He didn't! The baka!”
“Yes, well, we all knew that he was an idiot. He just proved it.” She turned around and threw her ruler at him. It hit him in the face. He stood up and snapped, yelling at her from across the room.
“What the fuck was that for, you stupid bitch?!?!?”
“For being a baka! What else?”
“You stupid bitch!”
“Thank you.” She said as the teacher stood up to address them.
“Miss Johnson? What is going on here? Why are you yelling at Kyo across the classroom?”
“Because I'm not working with him anymore. The stupid baka can work by him self.”
“You can both have a detention after school this after noon.”
“What ever,” she sighed as she stood up, heading for the class room door.
“Leave the room and it will be two detentions.”
“Can I hear four days?” she said sarcastically, waiting beside the open door.
“That's it. A week.”
“Sold to Teach, for one week! See ya's!” she walked out of the room, closing the door behind her gently.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once Alix was off the school grounds, she decided to walk into town. She kept an eye on the time by looking at the clocks that were in the shops. She was having fun, not having to be around the stupid idiot she couldn't believe that she loved. Yes. It had turned to love. Although, not any more. No, that had changed when he accused her of being the stupid bitch known as Kira. She was busy eyeing off a new pair of boots, at a stall when she heard someone's voice beside her.
“Alix what are you doing out of school?”
She turned around to see her older dark haired friend. She shrugged and sat down at the chair he was offering her. It turned out that him, Shigure and another man, who looked a lot like Yuki, but with long silver hair, were sitting at a table drinking coffee.
“Why are you out of school and what on earth have you done to your hair?” he asked again.
“Um, I walked out. I had an argument with Kyo.”
“And what's with the hair?” Shigure asked, holding the honey coloured locks.
She sighed. “Do you want the lie or the truth?” she asked as Hatori ordered her a coffee.
“Ooh! Let's hear the lie first!” The silver haired man exclaimed. She looked at him funnily.
“That's Ayame. But yes, let's hear the lie.” Hatori said taking a drag on his fag.
“I felt like a new look, and I wanted to see how I would look blonde, and ta-dah, I'm blonde!”
“Yes, believable. Now, let's hear the real reason,” He said, his brow furrowed.
Alix sighed and stared down at her hands. “I did it because of Kyo. We had an argument yesterday, and he accused me of being the Kira bitch, I told him that I wasn't, but I know he doesn't believe me. I don't like being compared to old girlfriends. How would you feel if your current love interest kept telling you how much her previous man was better? It's not nice. So now I do not look like the bitch, and I don't act like her either because I'm dropping out of school so I don't have to see him.”
“You will do no such thing. I will tell your parents of this nonsense.”
“Go for it Hari. I don't care. The most they will do is lock me in my room. And we know how that affects me.”
“You don't hurt your self, do you? Ayame asked.
“What? No. It doesn't affect me. Locking me in my room is probably the dumbest punishment.”
“Yes, I think I need to speak to your parents about that too.”
“Hatori, you are a grumpy old man. I don't know why I bother talking to you at all.”
“Because I am your doctor. I will not have you breaking down on me again.”
“Yeah, okay. You win. Do you have the time? I wanna go back and do my detention. That way I don't get in more trouble.”
“It is a quarter to three. I'll give you a lift.” Hatori cleaned up the cups on the table, after Alix quickly skulled her now lukewarm coffee that had been set in front of her for a while now. She followed the three older men to Hatori's car, and got in beside Ayame in the back seat. As Hatori drove her back to school, Alix was talking to all three of them, mainly to Hatori about how she was doing at school.
“Yeah, I'm doing fine. The counsellor keeps encouraging me to talk to her. You didn't put her up to it did you?”
“I might have mentioned your condition.”
“Hari!” she whined. “You know I would prefer talking to you than some other person.”
Hatori sighed and pulled the car over.
“Please do not whine, it does not suit you. Now, I want you to go and apologise to the teacher for the rude behaviour that you had obviously displayed, and you will do the detention with out complaint and I will make an alibi for you. Understand?”
“Yes, dad.” She mumbled at him. Shigure's eyes widened, but he didn't say anything. She smiled at him.
“I'm joking Shigure. He's not my dad. Although I wish he-no scratch that.”
“Why?”
“Because he's too hot. I don't want a hot dad and not be allowed to date him. Duh. You think with your head and not your dick. Loser. Bye Hari!” she pinched Hatori's cheek gently and got out of the car.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Alix made it to the class room, just before the class ended. She waited patiently out side the door, till the bell went. When it did, and the mass of human teenage bodies filled the corridor, and left it reasonably empty again, she went into the class. The teacher was sitting at his desk.
“Hey teach?”
He looked up from his paper and looked at her. “Ah, you have returned.”
“Yeah. I came to apologise for my behaviour. I was having a bad day, and I shouldn't have acted the way I did. Sorry.”
“Alright. You may skip the detentions. Just do today's, okay?”
“Yes, sir. Thank you.” She sat down at her desk and rested her head on her arms. The door opened again, and the sound of some one shuffling to their desk filled the empty room. Alix knew it was Kyo, serving his punishment as well. She wasn't in the mood to talk to him so she shifted her head to the other side.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When the detention had been served, and the teacher began to get his stuff ready, Alix lifted her head from her arms. She yawned loudly and rushed from her seat when she had been dismissed. Out side, she saw Hatori and Shigure leaning against the hood of his car. She came over to them.
“Oh shit. What have I done now?”
“Nothing, I hope.” Hatori answered, taking a drag from his fag. Alix pulled it from his mouth and dropped it to the ground, putting it out with her foot.
“Smoking kills.”
“So I've been told. Come on, in you get. Yuki gave us your bag earlier.” He opened the door for her. “Hello Kyo.”
Alix sighed and slid right over to the other side, pressing herself against the door, pulling her school bag into her lap. She stared out the window and ignored every one who tried to talk to her. When the car pulled up at her driveway, she went to open the door, but found it power locked. She sighed.
“Why aren't you letting me go?” She asked, not really wanting to know the answer.
“Are you two going to work this out?” Shigure asked.
“No. Can I please leave? I have homework I've got to do. Hari!” she whined when he shook his head. “Please? I will have another breakdown if you force me to do this.”
Hatori frowned, and gave in. “Okay. But I want you two to work this out.”
“Sure. Bye Hari.” She kissed his cheek and waved to Shigure before getting out of the car.
Kyo glanced at her retreating back. “Five minutes?”
“Alright. Five only,” Shigure said, nodding at him. Kyo got out of the car after Alix and caught up to her. He gently grabbed her hand, turning her to face him.
“Alix, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.”
“Yes, you did. I'm sick of it. I hate being compared to her. I haven't even met her. I don't like it. And I don't like you any more.”
“No. Don't say that. I got fried when you left. I had your bloody fan-club to deal with. And Yuki. I don't want that damn rat yelling at me. Please. Can we just forget about this?”
Alix shook her head. “I can't Kyo. I like you. I like you a lot. But you still want Kira. I can't.”
Kyo looked at her sadly, before leaning in and capturing her lips in a sweet kiss.
“I don't want her. I hate her for leaving me. You proved to me that you're not her. And I'm sorry for the pain that I caused you. Just please, forgive me.”
“One week. If you compare me to her, it's over. I move back to America. If you can prove to me that you can stop I'll stay.”
“Okay. Deal.” He kissed her again. “Dye your hair back. Get rid of the blonde.”
“Why?”
“I don't like it. Black suits you. Dye it back? Please?”
“Kiss me again and I will.”
He smirked at her before doing as she asked. “Will you come to school tomorrow?”
“Yes. I will. Go. Hari is looking bored. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.” She gave his hand a squeeze, before going in through the large iron gates, stopping to watch him get back in to the car and it driving off.
