A few words from the author: This is set when Kisa is in High School. She attends the same high school that Yuki and the gang went to. This is the first fan fiction I've had the courage to post. So, please no flames.
Warning: Characters may be moderately to severely OOC.
Disclaimer: I will only say this once. I do not own Fruits Basket or any of its characters.
------------------------------------
One more thing! For those of you who already R & R'd thanks! I just made a few changes due to suggestions. That and the fact, that I think it might be too short and non-descriptive! For more, see bottom.

Prologue
It had been a very long and torturous night. Kisa had been forced to go see Akito. That was something she always dreaded. You see, since Yuki moved away Kisa became Akito's new pet. Meaning, she was the one that he favored to torture. Plus, there had been a little incident…
------------------------------------
Last Night in Akito's chambers…
"Ah, I've been waiting for you, my little tiger," said Akito. "Come, sit. I believe there are some things that you need to be reminded of."
The part that scared her about this was, well, there wasn't just one part. He scared her in general, but there were specific reasons this time. Number one being that Akito is not a nice person. Number two is that when he spoke a chill ran down her spine. That voice always scared her. Number three is that Kisa had accidentally gotten hugged at school. Akito didn't like that sort of thing. It didn't matter that no one saw. It just mattered that it happened.
------------------------------------
Flashback to Wednesday at School...
The bell had rung dismissing them from class. It was now time for lunch.
Kisa walked out of the classroom and headed up to the roof. That is where she always ate lunch. This is one of the many reasons why she was considered weird by her classmates. Her family would just say that she had been spending too much time with Kyo.
Kisa did go up to the roof and ate her lunch in silence. That tends to happen when you eat alone. After she finished eating, she climbed down the ladder. So far this had been an ordinary day. Things actually seemed to be going alright for a change. Despite the fact that ordinary never lasted long, Kisa wasn't worried. That is, until Matsu came along.
Kisa had finished her lunch with time to spare today. So, she decided to take a walk around campus. Normally Kisa wouldn't have to worry that much about getting hugged during lunch. There were not a lot of boys that actually found Kisa attractive. You see, Kisa was basically gothic. She scared the hell out of her classmates. That and the fact that Hiro gave a death glare to any boy who even came within a mile of Kisa. The boys that did were usually with their girlfriends during lunch.
Matsu was not a particularly special boy. He is just one of the boys in Kisa's class. He just happened to be passing by going in the opposite direction of Kisa. She had been walking with her head down in hopes that this way she could avoid the glares of her classmates because of her appearance. Matsu was walking by and he accidentally bumped into Kisa. The thing is, the way they bumped could be construed as hugging. Therefore, immediately following the encounter there was a POOF! If anyone had been looking they would have seen a rather large tiger lying where Kisa had just been standing.
Luckily, no one was around. Before anyone noticed there was another POOF! And Kisa was human again. She quickly grabbed her uniform and put it back on. She looked around quickly to make sure that no one has seen this. This time there was no one. She was extremely relieved, for about a minute. Then, it hit her. None of her classmates or teachers may have seen her transform, but she had this feeling. Akito. He was constantly keeping an eye on every Sohma, particularly the Zodiac. He would know she transformed. There was no chance that she would get away with this. No way…
------------------------------------
Back to Kisa who at the time was kneeling in front of Aktio…
Kisa walked in to the cold, dark room. Just being there terrified her. Being with Akito in general is bad enough, but being in this room with him was overwhelming.
"You wanted t--ttt-to s--ssee mmee Akkittoo-ssaamaa," Kisa stuttered.
"Kisa, answer this for me. What happens when you get hugged by a boy or man that isn't a member of the Zodiac," asked Akito calmly.
"I transform into a tiger," she replied.
"Correct. Now, did you get hugged at all recently?"
"No sir."
"Did you or did you not transform at school on Wednesday?"
"I did."
"Then were you not hugged?"
"It was an accide-"
"THAT DOESN'T MATTER! THE FACT IS IT STILL HAPPENED!" "YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO LET IT HAPPEN, YOU UNGRATEFUL SELFISH STUPID LITTLE BITCH!"
After saying this,
Akito did a number on Kisa. He went crazy. He yelled, screamed and
beat the living shit out of her. He slapped her across the face ten
times. He kicked her hard in the shin twice. Then he grabbed her
wrist. She winced in pain. "What's the matter little tiger?
Does this hurt?" She looked away so that he wouldn't see the
look in her eyes and tried to pull her hand away. "Now, now you
know that's pointless. But then again, so are you," he said.
After that, he threw her across the room. She landed and slid across
the floor until her back slammed against the wall. "Now go. I
don't want to see anymore of you for now." With that, Kisa got
up and ran away as fast as she could until she was far enough away to
slow down.
------------------------------------
The Present…
Kisa was far enough away that she could slow to a walk. After a few more minutes of walking, Kisa go to her house. She lifted up the doormat and got the spare key. She quietly unlocked the door and walked in. She put the key back under the mat and quietly shut the door. She tiptoed back to her room and shut the door. She took of her clothes and changed into her pajamas. This wasn't exactly fun because every inch of her body hurt.
After she changed, Kisa went into the bathroom. She picked up something off the counter and began. She deserved it. After all, Akito even said it. Why couldn't it just end? After the punishment was done, she cleaned it and put it away in a drawer. She then made sure all had stopped and crawled into bed wishing it would all end.

My Own Little Corner
Hey guys! Thanks for reading. This is my first fic I've ever posted and I am so amazed at all the positive feedback that I've gotten. I have received constructive criticism, but that is welcome. There is always room for improvement. This is where I will be posting any notes that are not necessary for the chapter. If there are any they will be posted in the little space above! This is also where I will be thanking reviewers. Which, I am now going to do!
CaliCallMePrincess: Thanks. Kisa is one of my favorite characters. There don't seem to be many fics about just her without a pairing. That is what mine is. Good questions. All will be answered in time.
Lil' Lass: Yea. She is so sweet, but she got hurt pretty bad. The problem is the damage isn't all so easily fixed. You know what I mean. You were right about the what and all. But, shhhhh...No telling!
trunksgirl: Thanks a bunch! I was so scared to post! I am honored to earn a spot on your favorites list! There aren't any particular pairings in this. But, you'll see who she's with. Thanks, I am waiting for a few more reviews before I post the first chappie!
Hielo Phoenix: My main goal was to get it done. Though, this was the prologue. Yea, you'll have to wait and see. I know, but I really appreciate it. Thanks!
Mystic Sorcerer: It's fine. I hope you feel better soon! Yea, it is sad. I made a C2 community for sad Kisa stories. As I said, she is his new pet. It is going to get worse. Yea, I'm 17; I'll be 18 in November. LOL. 11 and 12 year olds. I know for a fact that one of these guys is 13. I forget Hielo's age. Sorry, blonde! I don't know about the other two! I was waiting for timeless 13 and Ayva Trance to review. Thanks a bunch. I have read so many of your works! I am honored that you reviewed! I would like to talk and exchange ideas sometime. It might be cool. Talk to you later.
Peter: Wow! I'm glad I really seemed to have gotten the idea across. Even to people who have never seen or read Fruits Basket. Thanks. No worries. There will be a flashback. See, I edited this and put it in! All will become clear by the end! Though, that won't be anytime soon.
Thanks a bunch for reading guys! I am hard at work on the first chapter of this story! Thanks for being so patient! I will post as soon as I can!
