Chapter 1
And So It Began
My old name was Rachelle Kasimana (A/N: I just typed some letters in without looking and they actually made a readable last name!). When I read this awesome manga called Fruits Basket, I just loved it! Than I got the anime and watched the whole thing and loved it even more! Than, one day I forgot to take my bracelet off that had my main 'powers' in it before going to bed...to be blunt, I said that I wanted to be a Sohma in my sleep. Low and behold, I woke up in Japan...how ironic. I was a total idiot! Well, it seemed fine because everyone magically spoke English to me...another thing I did wrong. I was so lost, I mean, you would think that messing time up, I get memories of my "new" life, but NO. I only had memories of a life that didn't exist anymore. I didn't have my old parents anymore and had ones I didn't know or even see.
I got up and looked around, maybe I'd get a hint of something that could tell me about myself. Well, that didn't work. Maybe somebody can tell me if I tell them what happened, but the problem is, would they believe a story like that? Then it hit me! I'd go and ask Ha'ri! It seemed like a good idea, I mean how hard could it be to find his office. I thought that he was a trust-worthy guy.
I ran out of the room and found his office very easily. I explained and he understood.
"What animal do I turn into?" I asked.
"Well, all of them," Ha'ri stammered.
"What do you mean, 'all of them'?"
"You turn into the animal of the nearest cursed member. Practically every time you transform, it's because of an asthma attack and I'm always the one nearest. Why? Well, because you have attacks practically every day. I'm sure you'll grow out of it in a few years, so don't worry."
"But, about the 'magical outbursts'. What does that mean?"
"Well, you're kind of like Hatsuharu-kun, with a black and white personality, only you have a white, black, and gray split personality. Akito-sama often angers you and then you lose control and end up hurting him with magic, or just get up and hit him, and he gets mad. You never mean to do that and always apologize, but knowing Akito-sama, it's not that simple. He usually whips you in that small, dark room he puts Yuki-kun in on special occasions. If you could only see your back, you would know. But for now, looking at your arms will give you somewhat of the same effect. I realize that this must be scaring you quite a bit. I'm sorry," he responded to me.
"No, it's okay. I'd rather know than sit here not even knowing my name. But I don't like the sound of Akito-sama. Is there anyway to stay away from him?" I whimpered.
"Well, your best bet is to just get out of here and live with Ayaa or Shigure-san, but you'd have to visit me about once a week to make sure that you're fine. If you have an attack, both of them will know what to do. I think that Shigure's house is the place for you. Your brother, Yuki-kun, lives there and so does Kyo-kun and the only outsider that knows of our curse, Tohru Honda-chan."
"I already knew that... Well, I guess I'd like to go to Sensei's house. It sounds nice and I can help Tohru-kun with the chores and stuff. Should we call them?" I said excitedly, but I was really nervous. I'd only known about them through the anime and manga. I wasn't all too sure about being near Kyo-kun...I might get hurt.
"Before we do that, there's something else I need to tell you," Ha'ri said.
"What is it?" I questioned.
"Well, since being in rat form makes asthma attacks worse, make sure when having an attack, Yuki keeps his distance until the attack settles down," he informed me.
It was a lot to take in, but I thought that I could remember. "Is there anything else I should know about? Anything that could've changed in space and time continuum," I wondered. Maybe the inside of me was changed somehow. Like I all of a sudden have a three way split personality, I thought.
"Well, yes. I guess that your personality and maybe some traits could've been changed since you represent all of the animals of the zodiac. For instance, you have the three way split personality, which is a very rare thing, a temper to flare, you're shy, good at martial arts, optimistic, can be serious, and your hair is always changing color. I'm sure that's not normal," he implied, handing me a mirror.
I'm sure that wasn't my hair color. It was a dark brown but now it was a mix of white, black, and silver. Black roots and streaks of white and silver and went down to the middle of my back. My eyes were purple. I could've sworn they were brown before!
"Uh, yeah. My hair has changed and so did my eyes...How do they change?" I asked confused.
"It changes by the nearest cursed members. Well, we can't say that most members have normal colored hair or eyes. Especially Kyo. Well, we really should call Shigure."
Ha'ri called him and they had a really long talk about me. Well, it wasn't all about me, it also included Shigure's latest book, the usual "How've you been" stuff. After about half and hour, Ha'ri helped me pack my things (what I had, which wasn't much) and he took me over to Sensei's house.
