Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket, nor do I own any of the characters in this story except for the ones I made up. The characters Mina Hina and Nina Soga are not made up characters, I just didn't know the names of the two girls that follow the student body president (before Yuki) around are.

Chapter 1
"Yukina, time to get up for school" Hatori called for his adopted daughter.
"Coming, Hatori" she called back coming out of her room wearing the boys' school uniform. "How do I look?"
"Like a long haired Yuki" Hatori replied, slightly smiling.
"Good" she said "Where's Haru?"
"He left, I'll drive you to school today" he replied grabbing his keys "Do you have everything?"
"Yes" she said re-checking her bag. (a/n: she's the type to check after saying she's ready)
After the silent drive to school, Hatori took Yukina inside, and to her classroom. When they got into the classroom Hatori told the teacher her name and left, as Yukina was sitting down. "Alright class, the girl that just walked in is Yukina Sohma" Miss Mizuki stated.
"Are you related to Kyon-Kyon and 'Prince' Yuki?" asked one of the boys
"I said stop calling me that" Kyo shouted, now irritated, standing with one foot on the desktop. After about a second Miss Mizuki pulled out a box that read 'Let's die our hair', Kyo sat down quickly. Yukina shrugged to the boy. "I don't know." After a while she got bored and pulled out a piece of paper. She drew a picture of each animal of the Chinese zodiac then added a cat and a god, after words, she colored the animals in different colors and the god she turned black. (a/n: she's kinda like a child)
After class Tohru caught up with Yukina before lunch "Hello my name is Tohru Honda, it is very nice to meet you" Tohru said politely. Yukina stuck her hand out slowly to see what she would do. "My…name…is Yukina, y-you can c-call me Yuki if you prefer it" she said cautiously. Tohru shook her hand and said, "It was nice meeting you." Yuki, Kyo, Haru, and Momiji came and stood next to her.
"What's the big idea stealing our last name?" asked Kyo "What did you do, study up on us, and having Hatori bring you to school to make it look like you really are from this family would just seal the deal, right?" Kyo said in a tone that Yukina was slightly afraid of.
"I…I am…Yukina Sohma…Harri is…my father…" Yukina said in a stronger voice. "You stupid cat"
Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru were shocked that she knew of the zodiac curse. "You wanna try that again," asked Kyo getting angry.
"Let me spell it out for you. Y-O-U space S-T-U-P-I-D space C-A-T!" Yukina remarked.
Kyo threw a punch as Yukina moved to the side, forcing Kyo to miss. Kyo kept trying to hit her but she just wouldn't let him during the whole fight.
She's as good as Yuki he thought throwing one punch after another. After about fifteen minutes Yukina hit him and sent him flying into a wall. This hit was her first and last attack.
"I'm hungry," she stated
"Wow Yukina, I didn't know you knew how to fight like that," said Haru, now amazed.
"Hey, that's what happens when you get bored at home," said Yukina "See ya. Aya should be getting here soon with my lunch."
Yuki had a flicker of anger in his eye.
"I'm here!" Ayame gasped running in his girlish way with Yukina's lunch. Yukina ran down the hall and jumped into Ayame's arms.
"Aya, you're here!" she said excitedly.
When Yukina's hair stopped moving, Ayame saw Yuki. He put Yukina down and ran over to the group, with Yukina at his side. "Yuki, you're here, I never thought you would meet the sweet Yukina" Ayame said with a bright smile "You know I used to be just like her." He gave Yukina her lunch.
"Don't tell me" said Yuki as he escorted Ayame off the school grounds.
"Bye, bye Aya-chan" Yukina shouted after them.
Haru placed his hand on her head "Why him?"
She looked up at him "I'm sorry Haru-chan, its Torri's fault" she said as innocently as she could.
She looked at Kyo who wasn't paying any attention to his surroundings. She walked stealthily and came up behind Kyo, as Yuki was coming down the hall, and hugged him.
"What's the big idea huggin' me… wait a minute I'm still human but how?" said Kyo looking at his arms.
"I am a part of the Zo-di-ac" Yukina said happily pronouncing each syllable of the word.
"You are?" Tohru asked happily "That means I only have one more to meet!"
"So which one are you?" Yuki asked curiously, because he has never seen her before.
Yuki doesn't know who she is? Tohru thought
"I am a rat" Yukina said even more cheerfully.
"Impossible! We all know there is only one of each animal!" shouted Kyo.
"How could a girl be prancing around in the boys' uniform? Go change!" The student body president demanded.
"And who are you, to boss me around?!" Yukina shouted back.
"I, little missy, am the student body president, Makoto Takei" he returned.
"Oh…no, now he's in for it" muttered Haru.
"Why?" Tohru asked.
"He called her 'little missy'" Haru said simply.
"Oh" Tohru said slightly scared. I hope she isn't like Kagura she thought.
"I can't believe you just called me that, you arrogant little…" she stopped right in front of him. "Nobody calls me 'little missy' and gets away with it!" she said "So bite me"
"Are you challenging me?" he said "Sorry, I don't fight. Let alone girls, I like to keep things even."
"In that case I'll take you on with one hand" Yukina said. "If you still think that's not even enough then consider me a guy, then would you fight me? Or are you chicken?" she yelled
"Now you're in for it" said Makoto, throwing the first punch.
Yukina dodged and through a punch, purposely missing.
During the fight Yuki made eye contact with Yukina "She's just toying with him"
"How do you know?" Tohru asked
"The look in her eyes, they're smiling. She is playing with him"
"Oh" Tohru said
After about fourteen minutes into the fight, some teachers came out looking for their students plus some administrators that herd about the fight.
"Excuse me, Pardon me, let me through. What's going on here?" The administrator asked as Yukina stopped moving, oddly fascinated by something and didn't move, unlike most people Yukina seemed to be easily distracted for some reason. Makoto took this to his
advantage and slapped her across the face. "Ha, ha I win!" he gloated.
Yukina looked shocked "Y-you… h-hit…me" she managed to get out, tears slowly welling up in her eyes, mostly from the pain due to bruising easily.
Yuki, Haru, and Momiji helped her to her feet and the administrator came over. "How dare you fight in this school, you're supposed to be role models for the younger students and yet you're here fighting like five year olds" he said as he and some other teachers escorted Yukina, and Makoto to the principal's office.
"Makoto how dare you hit a girl. I thought you were a gentle man," the teacher that was showing him to the principal's office said "besides you're the student body president, you're not supposed to fight."
"Yeah, but she asked for it" Makoto said
"Just because she was wearing the boys' school uniform doesn't give you the right to pick a fight" The teacher said
"I give up" Makoto muttered.
The two of them waited about ten minutes outside the principal's office before their parents got there. "Yukina are you okay?" Hatori asked the moment he saw her with an ice pack on her cheek.
"Yeah, I'm fine father, I just got into a little fight that's all" Yukina said.
"Let me see your injury" Hatori replied with a sigh. Yukina brought the ice pack down from her cheek slowly, revealing a red mark in the shape of a rather large hand print and a bit of swelling. "Just leave the ice pack on it and I will take care of it when we get home. As of now we need to get to the principal's office, by the looks of it the other parents are arriving." Hatori sighed as they walked through the door.
"Ah, Mister Sohma, thank you for coming" the principal said "Now all we have to do is wait for Mister Takei's parents to get here"
The Takei's came in the room after about two or three minutes. "Good, you're here. Now we can get started. We'll start with Makoto-san. In you're words, what happened between you two?" The principal asked.
"Well she, as you can plainly tell, is wearing the boys' uniform so, being the responsible man that I am, asked her to kindly change her clothes" Makoto said, Yukina was doing her best not to shout that he was lying. "When I said that she asked who I was, in a very rude manor, might I add, and I told her 'I, little missy, am the student body president-" he was interrupted by Hatori.
"Well there's your first mistake, keep going."
"Well, she started ranting and then she came charging at me, so I had to fight back in order to defend myself against that monster trapped in a female's body" Makoto finished as innocently as he could possibly muster.
"That's a lie!" Yukina shouted.
"Okay, Miss Sohma why don't you tell us your story" the principal said.
"Fine," Yukina said "I was in the hall by the lockers talking with Yuki, Kyo, Tohru, Hatasaharu, and Momiji and he came out of nowhere and was yelling at me 'How could a girl be wearing the boys' uniform' and that I should go change, not that it matters if I prefer to cross-dress. I asked him who he was to be telling me what to do. He told me exactly what he told you 'I, little missy, am the student body president'" Yukina said imitating Makoto "His first mistake was telling me what to do instead of asking, and the second was calling me 'little missy' it pisses me off because it seems like they're calling me a child. I called him an 'arrogant little' and told him how dare he call me 'little missy'. He asked if I were challenging him and said 'sorry I don't fight let alone girls' and that made me feel inferior, so I told him that if it wasn't fair enough that I would fight him with one hand behind my back, I asked him if he would consider me a man, and asked if he was chicken. I guess that pissed him off because he charged me and tried to punch me, I dodged and attempted to punch him but missed. I just let him attack all he wanted but kept dodging. After a while the teachers came out and for some reason I got distracted and he managed to slap me, and then gloated, and at that we are now here" Yukina said.
"So who started it?" the principal asked.
"I don't know but you can ask Yuki, Haru, Momiji or Tohru" Yukina said
In Miss Mizuki's classroom
A knock at the door, Miss Mizuki answers to a teacher with a note. "Yuki Sohma, Tohru Honda you're needed" Miss Mizuki said as the students were whispering. Yuki and Tohru walked out of the room and were led to the principal's office.
"Yes" Tohru asked walking into the principal's office closely followed by Yuki.
"We need to know who started the fight between Miss Sohma and Makoto Takei" the principal said.
"That's easy it was Takei-sama" Yuki said
"Miss Honda-san do you agree with him?" the principal asked
"Yes, I do" Tohru said bowing.
"Isn't there a camera in the wall across the hall from where we were fighting?" Yukina asked
"There should be" the principal said.
"Would the tape be in the camera or in a certain room?" Yukina asked.
"It is in the room in the basement" the principal said.
"Send someone to go get it" Yukina said.
"Actually the janitor is already getting it for me" the principal said.
A man in a janitor's uniform came in the room, handed the principal a tape and walked out. The principal watched the tape and couldn't come to a conclusion so there was no punishment because no one but Yukina and Makoto possibly got hurt.
Yukina and Hatori left and went home.
