Chapter 1: Sheena

A/N: Akia here, well this is my first Fruits Basket Fanfic, and i don't own Fruits Basket or any of the characters in it, i do however own Sheena Hiroshi, she's mine i say!

Sheena walked down the dirt road connecting her to the school grounds. She glanced around through her black bangs and saw Tohru with the Prince again. She hated how since about a month ago she was always with the Prince. Tohru abandoned her in her time of need. Her parents had died in a car crash a couple weeks ago, just before the Prince's cousin moved here. She couldn't even remember his name.

" Hey! Sheena!" yelled Tohru at her. She waved at Tohru and walked on not noticing the worried look on Tohru's face, her gold eyes were looking elsewhere. She was 16 years old and now family deprived. She hadn't spoken really since the accident, and really, no one tried to make her.

She sat in her seat behind Hana, one of her only three friends." Sheena, you're worrying us." said Uo sitting down," you haven't spoken in a month!" Sheena only looked down at her desk. Some of the students, like Kyo had never even heard her voice. But everyone wanted to, she had a beautiful voice, like a wolf howl in the woods.

After school, Kyo got fed up with the silence and Tohru's tears and walked over to her. She looked up at the orange haired boy." What's your problem?" She just looked down her gold eyes lookingat a speck on her desk. " are you listening to me? You are making your friends worry, you haven't talked once since I've been here and that's been what, three weeks?"

She looked up at him then, not wanting to talk and her eyes clearly said so.

" I don't care if you don't want to talk, you better do it anyway, i'm sick and tired of Tohru crying herself to sleep every night because you still won't talk." Sheena's eyes widened, she had no clue Tohru cared that much and tears welled up in her eyes.

"...No...don't cry Tohru, we can't cry, we have to be strong. Crying won't bring them back."

" What are you talking about?"

" Tohru, please don't leave me again, don't leave me for Yuki anymore. I miss you Tohru..." Kyo looked over at Tohru who walked up to Sheena and hugged her.

" You feel left out don't you? I'm SO sorry, i had no clue is that why you haven't talked?" Sheena nodded and shook her head.

" Sort of i guess, but i lost them both, and my Granpa's house caught fire and is being rebuilt, adn you have been hanging out with the Prince so much lately..." She stopped herself, she felt like she was just being selfish. Tohru's mom had died a month ago, and yet she was happy.

" Why don't you come over tonight?" Asked Tohru.

" Um, sorry, i've got work tonight, and besides i'd feel akward, i'm more of a lone wolf sort of person." Yeah, the wolf part is right on the money, she thought to herself refering to her family's curse to turn into wolves, the ancient forgotton animal of the zodiac. She stood up and walked out.

-Later that evening-

She walked into her tent in the woods and fell asleep. She thought she heard footsteps and voices but ignored them until she was poked awake. " What the hell?" She sat straight up and looked into Tohru's eyes," hello..."

" Why are you out here?" she asked concerned.

" My Gramp's house is being rebuilt and where he's staying is very small with my aunt the re and all, and i couldn't impose on Uo or Hana, and I knew you had no room so I went here." She said getting kinda stressed out.

" This is Sohma property." Said the Prince looking in the tent. Oh great here it goes...

POOF!

And in her place sat a black wolf with shimmering golden eyes. " Hehe, uh oh..." She said nervously.

" Don't worry Miss Hiroshi, we won't tell, our family is cursed as well. We become the members of the zodiac. I'm the rat and Kyo's the cat. Tohru knows our secret so she won't tell. You should stay with us for now. Shigure won't mind." Yuki said picking up some of her books and walking out.

POOF!

She quickly got dressed and got most of her belongings in a bag. They walked to the house and were greeted by Shigure.

" My, my. Who's this?"

" I'm Sheena Hiroshi, Sir." She said.

" well you are welcome here anytime, a friend of Tohru's is a friend of ours."

" Shigure, she knows."

" What! How?"

" We told her, after we found out her curse." Shigure ran off for a few minutes and they put Sheena's bags in Tohru's room. Shigure walked in.

" I've just spoken to Akito and he wants to see her tommorrow after school, he said he will pick you up in front of the building." Sheena nodded and went to change into her PJ's. She got into her sleeping bag and fell asleep.

-the next day-

She walked to school with Tohru and the others, only hearing two fights on the way. The day seemed to last forever as she waited until the last bell to ring. Once it rung she got her things and walked outside and sat on a bench. A few minutes later a boy around 18 walked up to her.

" I am looking for Sheena Hiroshi, you don't happen to be her do you?"

" Yes, I am."

" I am Akito Sohma, pleasure to meet you." He said it with a smile but something in his tone made her think otherwise.

A/N Okay, yea, bad ending, but oh well. Well, Please review, i don't mind bad remarks as long as it's constructive critisism.
