Chapter 1 – Strong like a Tiger

Disclaimer: I don't own Furits Baskets. I hate having to type this. But oh well.

Tsuruki-chan: Yay. My second FF. I wanted to try a drabble with Tohru and all of the others, seeing as they all have there own special relationship with her. Hope you enjoy it. Please R&R thanks.

"Oh! Kisa-san look!" Tohru pointed excitedly towards an exhibit with bears in it.

"…" Kisa just smiled. Today Tohru had offered to take Kisa to the zoo with a little extra money that she had made by working overtime in work. And seeing how Kisa was going Hiro had to come along as well.

"Really how boring." It was easy to see that Hiro was in his normal mood. Ready to shoo down something that others said. Of course, when wasn't he in that mood? "Looking at animals through a glass window?" He turned to Tohru who was still smiling even after Hiros' remark. "Do you actually enjoy looking at them like this? Don't you care about how they might feel?"

"No it's not -" Hiro cut her off like his normally did.

"Feh."

Tohru was used to Hiros' cold remarks by now. And even through his attempts to try and cause her trouble she never let it get to her and kept on smiling. But that was one of Tohrus' many qualities. "Oh I know. Why don't we go and look at the tigers next? That'll be fun."

With that she was off and Kisa and Hiro trailed behind her.

It was pretty quiet on the way there until a guy bumped into Kisa and knocked her down.

"Kisa-san!"

"Kisa are you aright?" Hiro turned to the man that had knocked her down. "Watch were your going." But in the busy crowds of the zoo, he seemed not to hear Hiro. Nor was he aware of knocking Kisa down.

"I-I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize Kisa, it wasn't you. Why didn't you say something to that guy?" Said Hiro trying to make her not be so shy at times.

Kisa stood there silent.

"Oh we're here." Said Tohru after noticing a tiger in front of a piece of glass starring at her. It looked to Kisa with those big red eyes. It was obvious that it felt the tiger spirit inside of her. After all, all zodiac members had that special connection with their animal.

Kisa looked down. "I'm nothing like the tiger. I'm not brave or bold. I'm so shy. I wish that I was fearless like the tiger that I was born with inside of me."

"Don't worry Kisa." Tohru said with that kind smile that always let you know things would be alright. "It may take time to build up courage but I know you can do it. I'm sure that one day you'll become as strong as a tiger like you want to be."

Kisa smiled. Tohru also had that power that could make anyone who was down feel better. "Thank you onee-chan."

'There she goes again' thought Hiro. 'That women always makes everyone feel better Even me..'

"Oh I know." Tohru said after a little bit. "Why don't we go and look at the sheep next."

'Maybe I was wrong she's to ditzy to realize she's even doing it.' Hiro though. "Ugh.Your thinking of a farm…"
