"AAAIIKKOOO!"

Kazuo's frustrated voice boomed throughout the house. He was in his room looking at his bag which had 'I <3 Aiko' written on it with marker. Rubbing it with his finger did nothing. He groaned and facepalmed himself as Aiko poked her head into the room. "...yeesss?"

Glaring at her, Kazuo removed his hand from his face. "I can't believe you did this." He was visibly frustrated. Most would be intimidated, but Aiko just kept her dorky grin plastered across her face.

"Don't worry, it will wash right out," Aiko chirped, stepping so her whole body was in view. She held a purple duffel bag stuffed with her belongings, both necessary and miscellaneous. When it came to 'packing lightly', Aiko was prone to.. well, not 'packing lightly'. Her body slightly leaned to one side because of the weight of the thing.

Kazuo noticed this and raised an eyebrow, picking up his own bag which was much smaller and lighter than hers. It was amusing to see her struggle to hold her bag. "Need me to carry that for you?" He inquired.

Aiko eyes widened and she rapidly shook her head. "No! I got this. Come on, we're going to be late." By the time she spoke the last word, she had already turned and started marching down the hallway. Kazuo followed her.

"We already are late, genius," he muttered, kicking aside a small stuffed animal Etsu must have accidentally misplaced.

Pretending she didn't hear that, Aiko skipped to the front door and strolled out to where Kai and Mai were standing. Suddenly, she halted. She narrowed her eyes at Kai and slowly walked over in front of him, going up on her tip toes so they were eye to eye. She silently lingered like that before speaking, "...Kaiga."

Aiko had never been a big fan of him, and everybody knew it. Once when some of the zodiacs visited a festival, she 'accidentally' spilt her shaved ice on his shirt. That wasn't even a prank; that was just straight up mean. But that was a year ago. Since then, she has been able to mostly avoid him. Kazuo walked past the three of them, heading down the trail. "Stop acting so childish, Aiko. Now c'mon guys, we have a freaking house waiting for us," he stated.

Rolling her eyes and smirking, Aiko finally got off her tip toes. She decided to direct her attention to someone else.

"Hi, Mai!" She exclaimed happily, turning to the youngest of the group and giving her a wave and a smile. Unlike her older brother, Mai had Aiko's affection. She had bought the sweet girl some shaved ice at the festival. Aiko wasn't entirely sure how the girl felt about her since she wasn't fond of her brother, but it didn't bother her much. Currently, Aiko was making a conscious effort to remain upright despite the overbearing weight of the bag.

Okay, I'll switch up her last name, then. (:

Fruits Basket 2.0

Thank you! I like your character, as well.

...should I change Aiko's last name to Sohma? Remember, I already warned you that I'm rusty with the technicalities of Fruits Basket, so pardon the perhaps obvious question. Yeah, we can start from there. Do you mind writing the first post? Just for the sake of me being prone to messing it up.

Okay, I'll bring along Kazuo as a secondary.

Aiko Sohma- The Snake

"What's the point of being alive if you're not truly living?"

Age: 17

Background: A free spirit, Aiko despises being constrained. She hates being assigned responsibilities and being told to sit down and shut up. She would much prefer to be free to explore and do what she wants to do. Ever since she was little, she had a knack for causing trouble. Once she met the other members of the zodiac, she always did various little pranks on them, including encouraging her human friends to try to hug Kazuo (dragon of the zodiac) and mixing some sugar into Etsu's (rabbit of the zodiac) cup of water. One of the biggest scandals she ever pulled was on Kai, when she got into his closet and glued the openings of one of his shirts together so it would look normal until he tried putting it on.

Personality: Outspoken, brave, troublemaker, clever.

Likes: Daifuku, cloud watching, climbing trees, rain.

Dislikes: Math, waking up early, rules, people who are goody-two-shoes.

Other: Recently dropped out of school, which others have shamed her for.

Lisa was genuinely surprised when he didn't insult her. Rather, he gave a tiny smile and told her to go to bed. "Oh- yes, Sir. I suppose it is getting late." She watched him as he passed by, once again surprised when he gently touched her back. She thanked heavens it was dark so he couldn't see her faint blush. "Goodnight, Sir," she said with a curtsy once he had started going up the steps.

As soon as he was out of sight, she made her way to her own chambers in the attic and retired for the night.

---

Before the sun had even begun to rise, Lisa was up and running around her room, quickly getting ready for the day so she wouldn't be late. She had accidentally slept in later than she would have liked to. With the decreased time she had, she wouldn't be able to write a letter to her family or resew a torn hem on one of her dresses. Those would have to wait until she got of work for the day, and she had no clue when that would be. She slipped on the uniform, put her hair up in a neat bun, and quietly ran from her bedroom. Running down the steps, she was in such a frenzy she almost tripped multiple times. She ran into the servant's dining area in the basement, where Agnes was cleaning her dishes.

"Goodness child, you look like you just ran a mile. Hurry up and grab a bread roll. You may eat it as I explain today's duties to you," Agnes said, gesturing for Lisa to follow her. The young woman obeyed and grabbed a roll from a basket set out for the servants. There was also a small variety of fruit set out, but there was no time to eat any of that. Agnes grabbed a few things from a closet then led Lisa upstairs to the main corridor. "See this wooden floor? It was cleaned yesterday, but now it needs to be waxed." She handed Lisa a pair of gloves, container of wax, and a sponge. "You'll need to use some elbow grease to really make the floors shine. This should take the next few hours if you take your time and do it properly. Have you waxed a floor before?"

The new maid nodded and swallowed down the rest of her roll. She was still quite hungry, but the sun was starting to rise and it was her fault for running late so she stayed quiet. "Yes, Ma'am."

"Brilliant. Good luck, then. Once you are finished, come find me," Agnes instructed, turning and walking away to report to her own duties.

Lisa slipped on the gloves and got onto the ground. Suddenly, she looked at the supplies she had then looked back up. Agnes had told her she would need to use some elbow grease, but what was that? Where could she find it? She stood up and looked around, her expression confused.
