Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!

Yeah all those characters from Fruits Basket and Fullmetal Alchemist…NOT MINE! I might also quote other random songs, shows, or movies that do not belong to me.

Oh and in case I didn't already mention this: This isn't exactly a great story for fans of Tohru who are just a little bit sensitive about their favorite character's well being.

It was another foggy day in Japan. The weather was miserable and transportation there wasn't doing any better. Kyo, Tohru, and Yuki were casually walking home from another typical day of school. Kyo and Yuki were getting along as usual.

"I'm going to beat you, rat boy!" Kyo scolded at Yuki. The cousins continued to fight yet again as Tohru shyly watched too timid to interrupt the two of them. This time Yuki didn't even bother thinking of any witty banter for Kyo this time. He rolled his eyes at Kyo and looked sympathetically at Tohru. How naïve she was. "Her abundance in kindness will be the death of her one day," Yuki thought recalling how Akito described Tohru when she finally let her stay with the Sohmas.

A thunder storm was approaching which began to make Kyo even more upset. Tohru started talking to Kyo trying to cheer him up and make him feel better. Yuki, having grown so accustomed to Kyo's rants, tuned him out. He glanced over at train station paying very little attention to Tohru when a quiet girl deep in thought caught his eye. Oh course this just wasn't any girl, it was his girlfriend Machi.

Completely ignoring Kyo and Tohru, Yuki decided to go and take the liberty of crossing the street to go and talk to Machi. Several minutes later Yuki could see Tohru pulling Kyo along and following him.

"So what are you doing around a train station like this? The weather's terrible," Yuki ended up stating to Machi more bluntly than he intended to. He felt even worse when he saw Machi's first reaction. The poor girl looked as if she hadn't slept well in days.

"I'm working on getting those community service hours in so I could go on that trip for student council," Machi replied.

"What?!" Yuki's eyes widen looking rather shocked. But we were informed about that 3 months ago! Why are you just trying to get all that work done now?!"

"I've…been very busy with other things lately that I kind of forgot," she looked away rather embarrassed, "I'm supposed to meet a girl I'm supposed to be tutoring here. I'm not sure if you know her."

"What's her name?" Yuki asked.

"I think her name is…Kagura…or something like that," Machi shrugged. Yuki looked back at Kyo. The poor sap was talking to Tohru oblivious of the conversation that him and Machi were having.

"Oh? And can you tell me more about this Kagura person?" Yuki asked Machi to make sure this was the same girl he was thinking it was.

"Well," Machi paused, "She seems like a very happy, energetic person, she always carries around this cat-shaped knapsack around with her, and," she quickly glanced at Kyo and then at Yuki, "I think she likes Kyo."

"Then in that case I think we'll stick around to see this girl," Yuki laughed. He didn't really care for Kagura, but Kyo had been getting on his last nerve lately. Kyo being smothered by Kagura seemed like it would be a reasonable way for Yuki to indirectly get back at him, at the time it did anyway.

The five of them didn't have to wait long for the bubbly brunette to show up. Oh the surprised expression on Kayo's face when Kagura suddenly barges into the picture was priceless.

"KYYYOOOO, MY LOVE I'M SOOOOO HAPPPY TO SEEE YOU!!!!!" Kagura yelled in a sing-song tone tackling Kyo hugging him.

"That's what he gets for ruining my garden," Yuki snickered quickly to himself.

"Yuki and Machi are here too! This is great! Now we could all go on a nice romantic mystery train date together!" Kagura's face lit up.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Kyo screamed struggled to break free from Kagura's hugging hug-ness.

"Why not?!" Kagura pouted. She looked like she might start to explode and throw a tantrum again. Yuki intervened hoping to calm Kagura down a little so Machi wouldn't have to see her go on a rampage.

"Well if the four of us just went who would walk Tohru back to the house? We can't just leave her here by herself," Yuki said reassuring Kagura.

"Oh no that's okay really you don't have to worry about me!" Tohru stammered,

"You four can all go on your double date," she stuttered nervously,

"I don't want to impose."

"Not at all," Yuki smiled politely. Kagura gave Yuki a dirty look then smiled at Tohru. How Kagura envied Tohru with a fiery passion. How she despised the way Kyo would look at her whenever she were to enter the room. Yet at the same time, Kagura could never bring herself to ever think if disliking Tohru.

Tohru was probably one of the kindest people she had ever met, not to mention a total push-over. Kagura eased up a little remembering the type of person that was tagging along on her double-date. It was Kyo she was going to keep a keener eye on. Moments later after Kagura and Machi started to get reacquainted Kagura brought up the idea again about going on a double-date.

"I think a scenic train ride might be nice," Kagura suggested.

"Scenic? Haven't you noticed that it's raining outside?!" Kyo scowled,

"We won't be able to see damn thing!" Kyo complained.

"Not that I'd want to anyway," he mumbled to himself.

"I don't think it sounds like a bad idea," Tohru added, "Even if the ride isn't that scenic we could always go site-seeing around whatever the destination is that we reach."

"Then it's settled then!" Kagura cheered happily,

"A mystery train date it is!"

"We don't even have any tickets," Machi stated bluntly.

Kagura frowned.

"I know where we could get tickets, but….," Kagura trailed off.

"But…?" Yuki asked curiously. A long moment of silence passed. Kagura continued to hug Kyo while Yuki and Machi exchanged looks and Tohru started to stare off into space with ignorant bliss. A blonde haired boy dressed in a school girl's uniform and another with white hair and black roots stopped by the old train station.

"So I'm taking it you want those train tickets?" the white-haired boy questioned Kagura showing her the train tickets. Yuki quickly took the tickets and started to hand them out to everyone.

"Haru, you do know that there are two extra tickets here right?" Yuki rolled his eyes.

"What did ya expect? It's not like we'd give out a bargain like this for free if we weren't able to go for the ride," Haru boasted.

"YA!" the other boy wearing the girl clothes exclaimed,

"We ran into some strange old woman who said she would give us a prize if I would give her my right shoe and Haru gave her his left shoe!"

"And it turns out the prize was these train tickets," Haru added.

"Ya and we're supposed to give the tickets to a man named Goro!" the girly-looking boy exclaimed.

"Yeah, the lady told Momiji that he'd take us to any destination we want. And since we got the tickets it will be our destination of choice," Haru stated proudly.

"WHAT?!" Kyo screamed in an uproar, "I'm not going anywhere with you!"

"Oh come on, Kyo, it won't be that bad," Kagura said trying to cheer Kyo up,

"So where did you two choose for us to go anyway?"

"Why Tokyo of course!" Momiji cheered.

"Um isn't that kind of far?" Yuki asked.

"Why Tokyo?" Machi inquired.

"Rin's having spring break now and went to Tokyo. I thought we, well more so me could go and surprise her," Haru replied. Yuki and Kyo shook their heads. Some how this didn't seem like too much of a surprise to them.

"Aw. That's so sweet of you, Haru!" Tohru smiled.

"I know," Haru grinned.

"Excuse me are you children the ones who got those tickets from Miss Suki?" A large man with messy hair and bowler derby hat inquired. The hat was embroidered with the designs of the British on it.

"If you mean that old woman who wore those scarves all around her face then yes," Haru answered, "Are you Goro?"

The man nodded, "Follow me and I shall take you to your destination," he opened one of the train doors, "Hop in."

The group of teenagers cautiously stepped into the train cart with Haru stopping to talk to their conductor.

"We wish to go to Tokyo," Haru stated confidently to Goro. Goro nodded motioning for Haru to step into the train. Haru hesitated and sat over by Momiji. A few minutes later after the door closed the train began to spring into motion. It moved at irregular speeds, first very slow, then very fast, and then it would suddenly jerk to a stop and start to move very slowly again. This strange cycle dragged on for at least 15 minutes until the train finally came to a halt and didn't start to move again.

The passengers on the train all began to exchange disturbed looks with on another. The door swung open as the seven of them were all greeted by an immense beam of sunlight. Slowly one by one everyone stepped out of the train. Goro was nowhere in sight.

"I don't know about any of you guys, but I really don't think that this is Tokyo," Yuki looked around at where they stopped.

"WHERE THE HELL IS RISEMBOL?!" Kyo screamed. Kagura and Momiji also screamed too since they were also scared. Tohru began clicking her heels together.

"There's no place like home, there's now place like home," Tohru closed her eyes and kept talking to herself,

"There's no place like home, there's no place like-" Tohru opened her eyes,

"AH! Why isn't it working?!" Tohru cried. Everyone else also grew a bit more panicked. Everyone else also grew a bit more panicked when they realized that the train that took them to this Risembol was no longer in sight.

Haru sighed, "Something tells me this is going to be an interesting trip."
