Disclaimer: none of us own Fruits Basket, and if we did it definitely wouldn't have played out the way it did in the manga and anime the way it did. But since we can't change that, this is what happens when we get a say in all of that crap we call the lives of the Sohma family!!

Chapter 1

One day Shigure got a letter, as he was reading it, Honda-san, Yuki-san, and Kyo-kun came into the room.

"Who's the letter from Shigure?" Tohru asked cheerily. Shigure handed the letter to her which read:

Dear Shigure,

I'm sorry to tell you this so late but my mom and dad died a few months ago, and no one in my own family will take me in. Would you please let me and Megan stay with you for a while? I plan to come on October 10th if that's alright. I hope to see you soon.

Love,

Kirstie

Tohru handed the letter to Yuki and then Kyo, who upon finishing the letter said grudgingly, "Great, more girls."

"It would be so much fun to have some girls in the house! You're going to let them stay aren't you Gure-san? Its sounds like they really need you right now," Tohru said concernedly.

"Absolutely!" Shigure exclaimed happily getting out another piece of paper to send Kirstie the good news.

October 10th

knock, knock, knock

"I wonder who that could be?" pondered Shigure, "Oh yes! That's right! Megan and Kirstie are coming today!" Getting up, he started to chant "High school girls! High school girl! All for me! High School Girls" under his breath.

He opened the door and found a cow pulling a wagon with a cat on her head.

"Meow," the cat said while waving a paw at Shigure.

Shigure picked up the cat and said, "Hello Kirstie, how are you and Megan doing this lovely morning?"

"Mow," Kirstie semmed to reply as Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru came in.

"Who's there?" Yuki asked.

Megan stuck her head in as Kirstie lifted a paw in greeting.

"Oh how cute!" Tohru squeeled happily as she ran to hold Kirstie. She petted the now annoyed Kirstie with one hand while she patted Megan on the head. Kyo looked at the cat in conrfusion, "We're having a cat and a cow over?"

POOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Aaaaaggggghhhh!" Kyo yelled as a girl in black cargo pants, a sleeveless red tank over a black fishnet top and red and black striped gloves appeared where the cat had been. Her hair was in a loose poney tail, falling just past her shoulders.

There was also another girl a leg split skirt (pants under) and a shirt a little above her belly button. Her hair was dark brown (nearly black) with a white streak down the side. She appeared where the cow was, still strapped onto the wagon with all of their luggage in it.

"Do we look like animals to you now?" Megan said staring at Kyo with green eyes (contacts). Kirstie was smiling in greeting and staring at the boys with blueish grey eyes (eyes turn red when really, really pissed). Kyo glared back at Megan.

"Nice to meet you both," Yuki said politely. Megan bowed to everyone and shook their hands after freeing herself from the wagon. Kirstie just winked at everyone.

"Umm, let me show you to your room!" Tohru offered excitedly.

"Sure, thank you," Megan replied.

As soon as Megan and Kristie were settled in Tohru made dinner for everyone.

"So you're a cat too huh?" Kyo asked Kirstie.

"Yes, but it's not that bad, as long as I'm included with things I'm fine," Kirstie replied happily. Kyo secretly marveled at her optimism.

"But that doesn't mean she doesn't have a temper," included Megan.

"Heh that's true, you know I practically killed you last time," Kirstie said her eyes turning a little red. She shook her head to get the tension off.

"And do you too have to worry about being hugged by the opposite se-" Yuki asked.

Kirstie cut in before he could finish, "Yes but we can turn into our animals whenever we like."

"We don't poof out of our clothes either," Megan added.

Kirstie looked at her cat shaped watch and wailed, "Oh it's already five!!?? OH NO!" She then bolted out of the kitchen and into her and Megan's new room.

Megan sighed, "She always has to watch that show."

"What show?" asked Tohru-san.

"Invader Zim,' she replied, "It's funny, hilarious actually, but she ALWAYS watches it and you can only stand a little green guy yelling about germs for so long."

"SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!!" Kirstie yelled through the floorboards toward Megan which was followed shortly by hysterical laughter.

sigh

Soon everyone went to their rooms, but Kyo ended up being the only one going up. Everyone stayed downstairs to catch up on the news, it had been a long time since the Sohma and Harrin families had seen each other.

Kyo was walking to the roof, he passed by Kirstie's room and saw a cat sleeping on the floor in front of the TV, from which could be heard the late night infomercials that were offered so late at night. He stared at the little yellow cat for a second or two, when Kirstie opened her and stared back he snapped out of his daze and continued up. Kirstie smiled and closed her eye again. Megan came up later, put Kirstie on one of the beds, and then prepared to go to sleep on the other bed.

A/N well that's the first chapter. For my friends I'm sorry but I combined the first two chapters and edited things as I saw fit. You can yell at me later I guess. For the soon to be fans I realize the beginning is a little slow but it picks up, particularly when the other Harrins show up (meaning me!)!! PLZ DON'T HIT ME MEGAN/KIRSTIE!!
