I do not own Fruits Basket because if I did Hatori would at least be a lizard not a damn seahorse.

As the Hawk Flies

Chapter: 1 A New Sohma

"Breakfast is ready everybody." sang the voice of Tohru Honda.

"Ahh and what has our little flower made this morning?" asked Shigure

"O nothing much just some eggs and bacon." replied Tohru with a grin.

"This is delicious. You're going to make a man very happy someday Tohru-kun."

"You really think so?"

"Yes I do. Perhaps if I play my cards right I could be that…" Unfortunately Shigure never finished his sentence before he was hit over the head.

"Shut up you perverted Dog." roared Kyo

"O Kyo-kun you're awake."

"Yeah whatever."

"Did you have to hit me so hard?" asked Shigure as he got up off the floor.

"I wouldn't have to if you would stop being such a pervert."

"Kyo-kun have you seen Sohma-kun?" asked Tohru

"The Rat probably still asleep."

"Actually he's right behind you." said Yuki

"Don't sneak up on me like that you damn Rat."

"I thought you would here me coming Cat." Kyo got out of his chair and glared at Yuki.

"This time I'm going to beat you you damn Rat." Kyo was tensing ready to fight when suddenly the phone rang.

"I'll get it." said Tohru. She ran to the phone. "Hello. O Hatori-san. Yes Shigure-san is here. Shigure-san phone for you." Shigure took the phone from Tohru.

"What do you want Haa-san?" Shigure was silent for a moment. "Yes I see. Don't worry I'll take care of it." Shigure hung up the phone.

"What is it Shigure?" asked Yuki

"You're going to have a new housemate."

"WHAT?" screamed Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru.

"Did I stutter? A new Sohma has been found his mother was murdered and he doesn't have a father so he'll be staying here.

"What do you mean a new Sohma?" asked Kyo

"Apparently his mother ran away to get away from the family but Akito finally tracked them down to bring them back "inside" but with his mother's death Akito decided to let him live here.

"Is he a zodiac?" asked Yuki

"I don't know. All I know is he'll be arriving in two days. O and you two better watch out."

"Why?" asked Kyo and Yuki.

"He is about your age and is supposed to be really good at martial arts. He might just give you a run for your money."

"I'll kick his ass." piped Kyo.

"Kyo-kun be nice he just lost his mother." pleaded Tohru

"Yeah you stupid Cat." exclaimed Yuki

"What was that Rat?" Kyo charged Yuki.

"O my poor house." said Shigure sadly.

Two days later

"All right. I just talked with Haa-san. He said that our guest should be arriving in a couple of minutes." said Shigure "Do you remember what I told you?"

"Yes no hugs and don't mention the curse until were sure if he knows." said Tohru

"Very good Tohru-chan." There was a knock at the door. "He's here." Shigure opened the door. Standing there was a boy about sixteen he was just a little taller than Kyo. His hair was strange it was brown with a tinge of red in the back. His eyes were closed and he had a solemn look on his face. "Hello welcome uh I never got your name."

"Keoni. My name is Keoni but you can call Ki." said Ki. He opened his eyes. They were a piecing green almost hypnotic. He stared straight into Shigure's eyes. "You're Shigure right? The perverted Dog." Shigure was just speechless. Kyo was just laughing.

"Geez you've never even met this kid and he already knows you too well." laughed Kyo. Kyo was suddenly stopped laughing as Ki was now staring into his eyes.

"Kyo the cursed Cat right?" asked Ki.

"How did you know Kyo-kun was the Cat?" asked Tohru. Ki turned gazed deeply into Tohru's eyes.

"Tohru Honda that's your name right?" asked Ki. Tohru nodded. "Mmm Onigiri girl."

"Excuse me but could you please stop frightening Honda-san?" stated Yuki. Ki turned and stared at Yuki.

"Yuki Sohma the…" Suddenly Ki's demeanor changed and his face contorted with rage. "Damn Rat!" Yuki backed away at this sudden outburst the only thing he saw was a fist flying towards his face.


Well that was the first chapter. Talk about a cliffie. O well I bet your probably wondering how Ki knew all about them even though he never met them well you're just going to have to wait till the next chapter. Next chapter new facts about the zodiac curse are reveled as is another zodiac outcast in "As the Hawk Flies" chapter two "The Hawk the Cat and The Rat."

p.s. this is in the mangaverse. I've never seen the anime.
