Wolf Girl

~Note: I don't own the Fruits Basket peeps…If I did, you can have all of 'em except Shigure. He's mine. All mine…*evil laugh**Shigure starts to run away**I capture him**laughs evilly again* Also, this takes place a year or so after the show!

I sighed and walked slowly up to the door. I looked around. I didn't see anyone, but someone had to be home.

"Hello?" I called. "Anyone home?" After a moment the door opened and I saw a boy that looked a few years older than me with orange hair and red eyes staring at me.

"Who are you?" he asked. I bowed and I know I should have taken my hat off in respect, but I didn't.

"My name is Dai. I've come to see my father," I told him. He stared at me a moment and I got chills up and down my spine from his stare. It was like a cat's glare. I hate cats.

"I think you have the wrong house," he said and shut the door in my face. I stood in shock and then sighed. I know he lives here; I can smell him. Maybe I should come back later.

**meanwhile…**

"Who was that?" Tohru asked Kyo. He shrugged.

"Some girl called Dai looking for her dad or something. I told her she had the wrong house," Kyo answered. Tohru and Kyo both jumped with surprise as Shigure suddenly popped out of nowhere between them.

"Did you say a girl name Dai?" Shigure asked and Kyo nodded. Shigure then suddenly ran outside, leaving Tohru and Kyo standing there confused. At that same moment, Yuki came downstairs.

"Where's Shigure off to? The only time I've seen him run is to get Tohru's cooking," Yuki stated. Tohru and Kyo just shrugged, completely baffled.

**now back to Dai*



"Dai? Dai!" I heard as I walked away from the house. I stopped and looked behind me. I smiled and then raced toward Shigure, my dad.

"Dad!" I called. I opened my arms to give him a hug, but he stopped me putting his hand on my head. I sighed. "I'm allowed to hug you ya know. I am your daughter." He kneeled down to my level.

"Yes, but you are also a girl and you know what would happen to me if I got hugged by a girl," he smiled to me reassuringly.

"But I like dogs…," I whined.

"Come on, lets go get some lunch," he grinned. I smiled and followed him back to the house. I've never been allowed to hug dad. He hasn't seen me for years either. He probably doesn't even remember about my…condition.

**what the others think**

"Who's she?" Yuki asked as all three of them, Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki, watched Shigure come back to the house with the girl Kyo had shooed away.

"I don't know," Kyo snapped, mad that no one knew what was going on.

"Is she a Sohma?" Tohru asked.

"I don't think so," Kyo and Yuki said together.

"Hey, I'd like you all to meet my daughter Dai," Shigure smiled when he got inside. Dai smiled and bowed, saying hello. No one moved, they were to shocked that Shigure had a daughter.

"SHIGURE! When did you..?! Who did you…?!" Kyo yelled. Tohru stood, dumbfounded and Yuki turned to start yelling at Shigure too.

"Um…Didn't I tell you? I guess I forgot," Shigure replied, laughing.

"HOW COULD YOU FORGET YOU HAD A DAUGHTER?" Yuki said loudly. Tohru still said nothing but stared in shock.

**After the loud yelling at Shigure, Tohru came out of her trance...**

"You can take off your hat," Tohru smiled to me. I shook my head.

"I can't," I answered. This got the boys' attention, Kyo the orange head and Yuki the girly looking boy. Shigure turned his attention back to me also.

"Why can't you?" Kyo said to me suspiciously. Chills started going up my spine again.

"No reason you need to know," I responded nervously. Kyo and I started staring at each other, me nervously and him…I want to say evilly…after a few moments, I realized Yuki and come up behind me. He pulled off my hat. I stood silently in fear of what'd they say and they all stared at me silently. Even my dad. So I guess he DID forget. Finally, dad said something.

"Oh yeah…I forgot! It's okay for you to hug me!" he announced and then gave me the hug I'd wanted earlier. Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru just stared silently.

"Um…why do you have dog ears?" Tohru asked quietly. "So, you're part of the zodiac too then. But still…No one else in the zodiac has ears when they aren't transformed." I relaxed a bit. So they knew about my ears. Sure, they got the animal wrong. But they don't have to know the real animal.

"Can't we talk this over lunch? I'm starving," I replied. I needed time to think of a way to respond. Truth is, I have no idea myself.

**lunch!**

"How old are you anyway?" Kyo said suspiciously as Tohru put the food down on the table.

"12," Dai answered dully, with a hint of fear in her voice. (Kyo still scares her) They all (except Shigure and Dai) did the math in their head (don't question how they know Shigure's age), but Yuki was the first one to figure it out.

"You had her when you were our age?!" Yuki questioned loudly. Shigure nodded nervously and Kyo then started yelling angrily. Tohru just opened her mouth in shock.

"You sick bastard!" Kyo screamed accusingly.

"Don't you think…you were a little young?" Tohru said slowly, still in shock.

"We were, uh, living the moment," Shigure responded, still nervous.

"Living the moment?! Live in this moment!" Kyo screamed even louder and before any of them knew it, Shigure was getting beat up by Kyo.

"I always knew you were twisted, but I never knew you were THAT twisted," Yuki commented. After about 5 minutes of a beating, Kyo stopped. (Shigure = @_X )

Dai gave a short laugh and Tohru decided to try and get their minds off of Shigure's, er, sick mind.

"So, why do you always have dog ears Dai?" Tohru smiled.

**Dai**

"Um…I really don't know. Maybe I have more of that zodiac powers than everyone else or something. I don't know... Mom was human, so I really don't know how that could be possible," I explained as best as I could. I noticed my dad finally recover from Kyo's beating.

"None of us know," dad chimed in.

"But…how come we haven't known about you since now?" Yuki asked us.

"That would be Dai's mother's fault," my dad explained. "She was afraid of what everyone would think. So she took Dai away from me, saying she'd be best in her hands than with us. I personally think it should have been the other way around, but she insisted. I think she was afraid of everyone else in our family."

"Hey! We're a good family!" Kyo said punching the table.

"Since when have you thought so?" Yuki replied and Kyo just shrugged.

"You know, you really aren't setting that good family reputation by slamming a door in a person's face and beating people up. Oh, and always glaring like a cat," I said dully to Kyo. He glared at me even more and I shrunk back nervously.

"Maybe I glare like a cat because I am a cat. Did ya ever think of that?!" Kyo snapped (once again evilly) at me. I shook my head.

"But there is no cat in the zodiac, except in those stupid stories. That cat is pretty stupid falling for the rat's trick. I hate cats," I replied, trying not to sound afraid of him. Yuki laughed and Kyo twitched.

"Stupid…?!" he twitched again.

"Um. Tohru, would you mind taking Kyo outside for some air?" my dad said. Tohru nodded and said "Good idea. Come 'on Kyo." After they went outside, Yuki turned his attention to me.

"I think the cat is stupid too. All cats are foolish creatures," Yuki said to me. I nodded in agreement and suddenly there was a loud crash.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING FOOLISH?!" Kyo screamed and then started attacking Yuki. I ran over to where my dad had been sitting.

"Dad! Are you alright?" I asked, pulling the door Kyo had knocked down off of him.

"My house…," he sobbed. I looked behind me and saw Yuki and Kyo really going at it. I'd try to tell my dad it couldn't get worse, but from the looks of it…it was going to.
