*I do not own Sailor Moon or Fruits Basket. I am just borrowing the characters for my story.*
"I won't stand for this!" The fiery orange-haired boy shouted. "I can't live with TWO girls in the house!"
"Kyo, be nice. Tohru's cousin just moved here. She needs a place to stay until she can find an apartment. Like Tohru, Mina's parents are both gone." Shagure explained, brushing back strands of black hair from his eyes.
"You could leave you know." Yuki stated, his lavender eyes flashing in anger.
Kyo and Yuki were having a stare down.
"Kyo, she's going to be here any minute, please don't do anything..."
Kyo attacked Yuki and went flying through the door.
"..stupid." Shagure put his hand on his forehead and sighed.
Kyo landed face first at the feet of Tohru and her cousin Mina. The blonde giggled a bit while the brunette looked at the hole in the door worriedly.
Mina crouched down in front of Kyo.
"Are you alright? Let me help you up." She said, extending her hand.
"No thanks, I can get up on my...own.." When he lifted his head he saw the most beautiful girl in his life. The sun framed her well-figured body, making her glow in radiance. The bright blue of her eyes captured his and neither moved.
"Kyo, this is my cousin Mina Aino, Mina this is Kyo Soma." Tohru introduced them.
"Hello! I'm so happy to meet you!"
Kyo was speechless.
"Seems the cat's got your tongue." Shagure commented with a cough.
"This is Shagure Soma."
"So pleased to meet such a vision of utter beauty." He flirted boldly.
Mina giggled again and Shagure was smacked up-side the head by Yuki.
"Don't mind him, he's a bit of a pervert. I'm Yuki Soma."
"Oh, so you're the one I keep hearing about."
"Um.." Yuki turned slightly pink as did Tohru.
"Well, I guess you've met everyone, I'll show you to your room." Tohru said quickly, grabbing Mina's hand and dragging her up the stairs.
"Aw, Tohru's been talking about you Yuki, maybe she likes you." Shagure teased.
"Don't be a fool. We're just friends."
"Is that all?"
"Yes, now leave me alone."
Kyo was now in a sitting position.
"What just happened?" He asked in a daze.
"You were drooling on Mina." Shagure said.
"I was not."
"You think she's hot."
"I do not."
"You like her!"
"I DO NOT!" He shouted, stomping off.
Yuki and Shagure looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"He likes her." They said in unison.
"So, what do you think?" Tohru asked her cousin.
They hadn't seen each other for years. It was exciting to be re-united again.
"I love it here!" Mina exclaimed. "It's so peaceful, well, except for Kyo flying through the door."
They both giggled at the thought.
"Those two don't exactly get along all the time." Tohru explained. She had not told Mina about the zodiac curse and wasn't planning on it either.
Mina also had a secret of her own and also wasn't planning on telling Tohru.
'I want to tell her, but it would be too complicated. How do I explain being Sailor Venus and having powers?' She looked at her cousin. 'She sure has grown up a lot. She even has a crush on a boy! Shy little Tohru in love! Who would have thought?'
Mina had never been lucky in that department. She was the scout of love, but could never actually fall in love herself.
"Kyo was rather cute though." Mina commented while hanging clothes in the closet.
"You think Kyo is cute?" Tohru asked. She had never thought about him that way.
"Yes, and I know you think Yuki is cute." Mina winked.
"Well yes, he is cute." Tohru blushed.
"If you like him, you should tell him." Mina stated.
"No, no, I couldn't. It's too complicated."
"Nothing is complicated when it comes to love."
"Is our little Tohru in love?" Shagure asked coming into the room.
"No! No one's in love."
Shagure knew. He knew how much Yuki and Tohru liked each other. They were both just too afraid to admit it to each other.
"Thank-you so much Shagure for letting me stay here." Mina gushed, changing the subject.
"Oh believe me, the pleasure is all mine."
"Your house is so beautiful, I can't wait to see the rest of it."
"Well, maybe Kyo can give you a tour." Shagure suggested.
"Really?" Mina perked up, she would love to spend time with that boy.
'Me and Kyo, what a lovely thought.' Mina day dreamed.
"You might have to find him first though, I think he's sulking on the roof again." Shagure said, pointing toward the ceiling.
"Why is he sulking?" Mina asked.
"Well, we kind of teased him a little about you."
"About me?" Mina was confused.
"He thinks you're cute. Kyo never gets flustered in front of girls like that."
"Kyo thinks..I'm cute?" Mina had hearts in her eyes.
"Mina, please don't get too excited about it, Kyo doesn't have the best people skills. He might hurt your feelings without thinking. Not that he would do it on purpose, but he doesn't think before he speaks." Tohru commented.
"Don't you worry about me! I am the scout of love after all, I think I can handle it." She slipped.
"Scout of love? What are you talking about?" Tohru asked.
"Oh nothing, it's just a saying." She covered. 'Damn it, I almost gave myself away. I have to be more careful with what I say.'
"Well, I'm going to start dinner, Mina you should find Kyo and try to get him to come down for some food."
"Okay, I will."
As the girls walked downstairs, Shagure watched Mina go. 'Scout of love, why does that sound so familiar? I'm going to have to look into that.' He went to his room and sat down, looking through newspapers that were piled next to his desk.
