Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket. But I do own Sakurako.
Konnichiwa, Sakuma here. I got at least two people (I think) who wanted a sequel, so here it is:
Yuki had at last finished unpacking the last box in his new house. It had now been 7 years since Kyo died. Yuki had dropped out of high school to take care of Ayame, then dropped back in and graduated. He went to college and graduated a year ago. The past year was full of student teaching, moving, and paying off his student loan. He even had to work a second job as a waiter to pay off his loan. But now that was all behind him, because he now had his own house. He was back at the main house, but he had no fear of Akito, had was also dead.
The new head was only two years old, she couldn't do anything to Yuki. He still, however, wondered about Sakurako. She was the new cat, born right before Yuki started college. She would be about 5 years old now. Before Yuki could think about it more, he heard a knock on his door. He rushed to invite the visitor in. He opened the door and saw Kagura and Rin.
"Hi Yuki!" Kagura exclaimed.
"Hi Kagura, Rin. I haven't seen you two in three years," said Yuki.
"Yes, it has been a long time," said Kagura.
"Nice place you got," said Rin.
"It's a bit small, but I'm the only one living here," said Yuki.
"I doubt it'll stay that way," Rin said sarcastically.
"Good point, you'll probably want to get married and settle down," said Kagura.
"Not anytime soon," said Yuki.
"Well, we just wanted to say hi. We've got to get going," said Rin.
"We will be back," Kagura added.
"Yes, bye Yuki,' said Rin.
The two left the house, and went home. Yuki sat down in a chair and looked around his living room. The walls were pretty bare. There was no wallpaper, no paint, no nothing.
"Note to self, get wallpaper."
Yuki made himself a cup of tea and took it out to his front porch. He noticed that his next-door neighbor, a woman who was a few years older than Yuki, had the same idea.
"Good afternoon,' he called, waving to her.
The woman glared angrily at Yuki, and went back inside her house, slamming the door.
Yuki stood dumbfounded. What had he done to make her mad? He finished his tea and went back inside. A few hours later, he went back on his front porch to get some fresh air, and this noticed a young girl outside, drawing a picture. She looked only about 5 years old, and looked a lot like Kyo.
"Maybe she is Sakurako," Yuki thought to himself.
He then noticed around her small wrist were black and white beads. There was no doubt that this was Sakurako.
"What are you doing out so late," Yuki called.
"Painting,' she replied.
"What are you painting,' Yuki asked.
"Come see for yourself," she replied.
Yuki hesitated. He didn't want Sakurako's mother to think he was a stalker, but he didn't want Sakurako to think he was being rude.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want your mother to get angry,' he said.
Sakurako stood up and walked over to Yuki's house. She held up a painting of the sunset. She used normal watercolors, but for a five year old, she was pretty talented.
"This is amazing! What's your name, you might one day be famous," Yuki said.
"Sakurako Sohma, who are you," said Sakurako.
"I'm Yuki Sohma. You wouldn't happen to be the cat of the zodiac," Yuki asked.
"Damn I went too far!" Yuki scolded in his head.
Sakurako looked away in shame.
"Don't be ashamed, I'm the rat of the zodiac," said Yuki.
"Prove it," said Sakurako.
Yuki gave Sakurako a hug. Sure enough, neither of them transformed.
"See, if I wasn't part of the zodiac, you would have transformed," said Yuki.
Sakurako's mother stormed out of her house.
"SAKURAKO, YOU GET YOUR ASS HOME," she yelled.
"I'm sorry, I have to go," Sakurako said nervously.
She ran home, and ran inside her house. Yuki could hear that her mother swatted her a few time.
"You damn brat!" she yelled.
Sakurako's mother came back outside.
"You stay the fuck away from me, or I'll report you for stalking," she yelled at Yuki.
"You dare you! " Yuki yelled.
Yuki couldn't believe the nerve of this woman! He was trying to be friendly and she called him a stalker. Yuki went back inside and went to bed. His first day of teaching was tomorrow.
So what do you think? The disclaimer will be for the entire story, I always forget to put them up, but you should know that I don't own Fruits Basket. Please review!
