There may or may not be crossovers with other anime. It all depends on the author's mood. There's no outline, and the story goes wherever it wants. The writing isn't anything special either; I'm just doing this for fun.
Literary version:
Tohru: People who are lonely, isolated, and struggling to survive in the dark, once you meet that ray of light, you always want to hold on tight. You hurt yourself and others, yet you still won't let go.
I've never feared the past. Because we have a past, we can step into the halls of a brighter, more wonderful future.
But... I think you might be better off without me.
I once hoped you would all leave the past behind and walk in the bright sunshine, breathing freely beneath the blue sky, unrestrained and unfettered by the curse called bonds. I hoped you would stop living timidly and self-consciously inside those hard but battered shells.
In the end, I was too naive...
Akito: It wasn't until I met you again that I understood... you're the fate I can't escape. Even if I fall into hell, you should be there with me.
Yuki: Gentleness is my disguise. But when I met you, I realized my gentleness was only for you.
Kyo: I want to stay with you longer and longer. Forgive me for being selfish... Tohru...
They have been reincarnated countless times, but their paths always lead to the same ending.
Lost souls eventually find their way home. Can lovers meet again, or will they make peace, or sink once more into an unsolvable mystery...
Playful version:
Um, oh my gosh! I can't believe that after an accident, I transmigrated into the heroine of Fruits Basket, a family that can transform into animals!
No big deal. I just have to follow the plot, right? The cat is pretty handsome, but his temper... Sorry, I'm not sweet and saintly like Tohru, and I can't heal your fiery temper. And you want to put me through physical torment? No! I'm not getting together with you.
This time, I'll use the skills I learned in my previous life to make a comfortable living!
My only goal is to conquer the stars and the sea!
But why... is the plot going more and more off the rails?
Wasn't this supposed to be Fruits Basket? Why are the Black Organization and the Mafia all over the place?
Also, Yuki, aren't you supposed to be dating that random girl? If you're not going to, fine, but don't get so close to me.
Akito, even if you're not a girl, I can still ship you with a guy. You and Shigure are a great match! So stop grabbing me and talking about going to hell together, okay? It's kind of scary... T﹏T
Kyo, even if the plot says we're a couple, you can't force love, right?
It's not that I don't like you all. I just want to write poetry, seek far-off places, and roam the world!
P.S. If you don't like it, please be kind and leave both me and yourself in peace. No personal attacks. My writing will stay at kindergarten level for the rest of my life. The characters' values aren't the same as mine! (Though I do let good looks sway my principles.)
