The Forgotten Zodiac ~ A Fruits Basket Fanfiction

Prologue

Hello my Kawaii Potato Army! (Yes, this is what I'm calling my readers now!) I'm doing a shameless self promotion right now. I'm making a PJO fanfiction about Nico Solangelo (Hehehe Digi AKA Bookmasterdigi) Just wanted to put that out there!

Clouds covered the sky. Everywhere you looked it was a grey abyss, hiding the sun from shining. Small snowflakes fell from these clouds, forming small pockets of white on the ground. On this very specific day, on February fourteenth, a baby was born. The doctors gathered around to look at the strange color filling her iris. Instead of being blue, the color was a light violet. The doctor that delivered her was a woman, but the nurse was a man.

The second person to hold this baby was her mother, the loving arms that would soon become quite the opposite. The nurse came to tend to the baby, but as soon as he wrapped her in his arms, a cloud of smoke appeared. When the smoke cleared, in the babies place was a fox. The fox was far from ordinary though. It was completely white with only the red fur print of a full grown kitsune.

The nurse nearly dropped the baby in surprise, but regained his composure after a few minutes. The mother took her child, and after around thirty seconds, she was holding a baby in her arms again. There were several phone calls that were made, and soon, a man with black hair. He placed a hand on the doctor and nurses face, wiping their memories from them.

Once the child was about five, the godchild decided to keep her hidden, keep her in the main house. Her hair was as strange as her eyes. It was platinum blonde with streaks on it that changed depending on the time of year. In the winter and fall the streaks were pastel red and barely visible, but in the spring and summer, they were a very visible pastel pink.

She spent time there away from her mother who had grown to hate her. The room would haunt her memories. The black being spread. The only thing she was able to do was watch. The rat having to be directly across from her. Dirty rat. 

"You know, if you were good for once, I might let you play," the godchild would taunt. "Wouldn't that be just wonderful?"

She stayed silent, waiting for something to happen, for him to get mad. Either way it was a trap, speaking would only anger him, but so would staying silent. She decided to go with the one that was easier. A searing pain flared through her back, so she went through this for years.

Once she was around ten, she ran away. Away from the property. Away from her family. Away from everything. She wasn't found, and a few months ago her twelfth birthday came. Well, actually, my  twelfth birthday came. I still hadn't been caught. I didn't want to be caught. I was determined not to get caught...
