Note from the author: This story is a king queen yada, yada, yada. So Tohru is as you know a peasant instead of a princess this time and the Sohma are a very royal family. Like Fruits Basket, Tohru parents die but I'm not going to tell you how yet. The other Sohmas will be introduced later on. I've read up to Fruits Basket 11 waiting for 12. I also made the young Sohma's 12 and Kyo and Yuki 17. Tohru is 16.Kisa is very OOC in this story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket. If I did I would be rich!

Tohru's POV

A young girl that looked about 9 or 10 sat on my doorstep crying. Whatever dress she was wearing it was dirty brown now and torn on the edges. The girl had light orange hair that stop to her neck. Her eyes I could not see for hands covered them. Sorrow washed through me as I walked steadily towards her.

"Little girl, what is wrong?" I asked stopping myself in front of her. She looked up at me fear stricken. Now I can see her eyes, they are yellow, those of a cat. So cute!

I asked her once again what's wrong. She stood up as if getting out of my way. The girl could not talk but was sensible enough to move. She wiped her tears away as she looked down sniffing. I'm not cold-hearted enough to leave her so I asked a different question instead;

"Do you want to come in?"

She nodded her head twice. It shocked me though of how quick she answered. One of King Akito's rule is "never invite un-welcomed visitor into thy home." But she is just a little girl, one exception wouldn't count.

"My name is Tohru." I said pulling my hair back for a ponytail." Tohru Honda. I'm 16. What's yours? "

"You're…you're a peasant aren't you? " The girl said sitting at my table making her self at home. I had to open my mouth. How could she put it so, so bluntly?

"Yes…why do you ask? How do you know what I am?"

The girl just shook her head and pointed at my clothes. I was wearing a forest looking raggedy dress with an ugly cloak over it. My mother gave it to me saying:

Flashback:

"This cloak will protect you and that pretty face of yours."

"But mom not to be rude it doesn't fit me and it's ugly! How can something like this protect me?"

"Tohru, you can't hate something for the rest of your life. You have to see its true nature before you can actually say you do not like it, like…eating an onigiri."

"But mom I love onigiri!'

"I know you do but some don't. Do you understand what I am saying kiddo?"

"Sigh.Yes mom, you right."

End Flashback

After staring at me for awhile the girl said two words:

"…Kisa, 12."After saying that, she closed her eyes.

"Kisa" I repeated thinking about what she means. I know I'm not the smartest girl in the world or the dumbest it is just that sometimes I can be somewhat slow( remember peoples fan fiction)

"Kisa…"

"Hmm?"

"You can stay here as long as you like but leave when you want too, okay?"

"Sure thing, Tohru."

"Goodnight." Smiling sweetly I blew out the living room candle.

Regular POV

Tohru woke up early to cook breakfast. Her ugly green cloak covered the clothes beneath it. To her surprise, little Kisa was already there making scrambled eggs.

"Uhm…How did you?" managed the bewildered Tohru. Kisa just shrugged. Smiling, Tohru went to the pantry to get ingredients to help out.

"My friend, Maria, taught me. She is my cook's appr-"Kisa quickly covered her mouth causing the egg beater she held to drop. Tohru gasped and picked up the egg beater causing yolk to fly at her face.

"Are you all right? What happened? Did you burn yourself?"

Kisa giggled, then covered her mouth again. Her face struggled to hold back laughter, but her face lost. Kisa busted out laughing merrily on the floor, so hard tears were in her eyes. 'Even her laughing is cute' Tohru thought blushing of her idiocity if that is even a word. A good 3 minutes later Kisa smiled brightly at Tohru.

"I've…I've never laughed like that for days, or even months! The only peoples in my family that makes jokes is Uncle Shigure and Uncle Ayame. I miss them and the others…" Kisa said still smiling but with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Excuse me Kisa I'm going to go wash up. You can keep making breakfast if you want."

Tohru said walking towards the only bathroom in her home. She had heard what Kisa said and it made her think. What had happened yesterday that caused her to cry and be on her doorstep? Who was her family?

"Tohru?"

"Coming in a second!'

Tohru walked heisantly towards Kisa who was humming to herself. 'Boy does she have a big mood swing.' Tohru thought.

"Uhm, Kisa…? Where are you from?"

Kisa froze everything she was doing. For a split second, Tohru swore she saw a flicker of fear in her eyes, but it disappeared quickly as soon as it came. Kisa's mood darken, turning to Tohru she whispered,

"All in due time, the answers to the questions you ask will be answered. For now let us just make the best of it."

Getting confused by the minute, Tohru nodded her head. She turned to the clock that had 7:20(She got up by 6:30.) and turned to Kisa.

"Uhm, Kisa could you go to work with me? It is not permanent but I do not want to leave you alone so…"

"What about breakfast?" Kisa questioned.

"Are you still hungry?"

"Nope."

"So do you want to go?"

"Sure!"

Kisa POV

Tohru has been real nice to me…though I'm not going to tell her anything…yet because I trust her somewhat. It is her aurora around her, her personality is so cheerful. She deserves to know yet she doesn't. Akito would surly behead her if she meddles with our secret, only then I can't help her. Poor Sissy.

Tohru bought me a new dress. Not as good as the dress Ayame made but good enough to wear. It is light orange with a big bow in the middle of it. Over it was a black coat.

As we walked I noticed what area we were in. Main road to the castle gates, not good!

I pulled the cloak farther over me to shade my face. By now the castle might be looking for me. Might! This daily time is when Maria goes shopping with the servants of the castle. If the servants can recognize me so can Maria.

Hoping we were not going into the castle, I pulled Tohru's sleeve causing her to jump a little.

"Tohru, where exactly do you work?"

"Well, erm, I am a waiter at Sun Rise Tavern"

Something about that place made every hair on my body on its end. It is like I heard it somewhere for it sounds oddly familiar.

Tohru grabbed my hand dragging me to the tavern right now complaining she was late. The tavern inside was dark so I can barely see anything….

Regular POV

A light flashed on what appears to be a stage. A red-headed girl stood in the center of a lime light on the stage.

"Kisa, you can watch this if you want, I'm going to go change." Tohru whispered.

Kisa nodded and took the nearest seat." But I'm warning you now, you really may don't want to see this, unless you love Yuki." Unknown to Tohru, Kisa made fake gagging sounds.

Something about the girl on the stage also made Kisa forgetful.' Why can't I remember?!' Kisa thought.

"Okay girls! Prince Yuki is throwing a ball this week! He is also of age to get married!"

"So is Prince Kyo, Motoko!"

"That's not the point! Go join Lady Kagura if you love Kyo, if she will let you! I'm just telling you now good by all, for when the prince sees my face, he will fall madly in love with me! When we get married I will remember you all!'

Soon an argument broke out on who Yuki is going to marry. Kisa growled in her throat. She remembered now! This is the hangout place for the Prince Yuki Fan Club! During the morning it is open for the club, and during the evening it is a regular tavern. Just because Motoko father owns half of it. Kisa glared at the girls. The tiger inside her didn't like them one bit. 'Because of them, Yuki and Kyo have become much colder to everyone' she thought. Tohru came back in a purple dress with a white apron tied in a bow in the back. She had a cup of milk in her hand which she offered to Kisa, who eagerly drank it.

"Thank you Sissy!"

"Sissy?' Tohru asked." Short for sister?"

"Yes…you don't mind if I call you that do you?"

"Ehh?! Of course not!" Tohru said smiling.

Motoko and Meniume (forgot name) argued about what they are naming Yuki's kids when Motoko saw Kisa. She gasped and rushed over to Kisa putting her hands on Kisa's shoulders. Kisa didn't look afraid one bit. Instead it looked like she was read to pounce.

"You're…you're Y—"

"Could you please get your hands off of me?"

Motoko flinched but didn't remove her hands. Tohru panicked and thought of what her mom would do in a situation like this. Taking one hand she placed her fingers in two parts of her neck and pushed causing Motoko to fall down. Everyone stared at Tohru including the PYFC (Prince Yuki Fan Club) then Motoko, then back to Tohru. An awkward silence followed.

"OMG! You killed her!" "The king will here of this and kill you!" "No he won't! Ha good riddance!" -this one came surprisingly from Kisa (way OOC)

Tohru couldn't stand the yelling and grabbed Kisa's hand dragging her outside the tavern. Kisa smirked inside her head yet she acted sad. "Sissy, did you kill her?" Kisa asked even though she already knew the answer to that. Her cousin, Kyo taught her one day while he was training. 'Use it for self-defense or to protect others.' he said. 'It won't kill them just make them unconscious.'

"No…I just knocked her out…not physically… I mean…—"

Kisa just went and hugged the off guard Tohru.

"Thanks sissy, for sticking up for me! But what about your job?"

Tohru giggled to herself." I want to quit but I really need a job…"

"Maybe I can help…."said an unknown voice.
