Hey there, guys. I'm starting a new story, if you can't tell. I forgot my love of Fruits Basket, but don't worry, I found it again! This is mainly based off the anime, but I'll be bringing in a few characters from the manga. In my story, Akito is a boy; no hidden estrogen whatsoever. The first chapter is extremely short, but I treat it as if it's a prologue. Anyway, I hope you like it!
By the way reader, the characters in Fruits Basket (Primarily Tohru) tend to talk to themselves an awful lot, so I'm going to try to stick to that!
Reviews are appreciated.

"I don't need to hear it, ya damn rat!"
"You're making a fuss out of nothing, stupid cat."
The boys were at it again…Oh, sorry! My name is Tohru Honda! My mother passed away a few months ago, so now I live with Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure Sohma at their house. What I didn't expect was that they were part of a cursed family that transforms into the animals of the Chinese Zodiac when someone of the opposite sex hugs them. Erm…maybe now isn't a good time to explain the rest.
"Boys, I've already had to fix the doors once this week; please be more careful." Shigure sighed, watching his house about to get destroyed, yet again.
Knock-knock.
"Hm? There's someone at the door?" I wondered; walking over to the door and sliding it open gently. All while minding the gap where Kyo's fist punched through earlier. As I opened the door, I almost forgot to greet her by my loss of thought. The girl before me was so cute. She looked a bit younger than me; maybe a year or two. Her chocolate brown hair came layering down to her mid-back. Her eyes were the most unique I'd ever seen; one a lovely shade of blue that resembled violet, the other a very intense shade of brown that mocked crimson red. They were like a lighter shade of Kyo and Yuki's eyes. Her skin was a natural peach pale; just a few shades more colorful then the moon. Her complexion was flawless; she had a little black circular birthmark beneath her left eye. Oh, that's right!
"Umm, hello. May I help you?" I greeted her with a warm smile.
Her eyes hid a gleam of hope, but also a hint of sadness behind them. "Is Shigure here?" She asked in a polite, musical voice.
"Who do we have here, Tohru?" Shigure appeared at the sound of his name. His eyes widened as his vision settled on the little girl before him. The girl couldn't help but smile and jump to embrace him.
"Shigure!" She squeaked, breathlessly and wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed his cheek as he twirled her around and sang.
"Our little wallflower is back! Our flower, our flower! Yuki, Kyo, get out here!"
As he was hugging and twirling her, it occurred to me that he didn't transform. Maybe she was a member of the zodiac!
"What is it Shagu- Yumi!" Yuki gasped in surprise.
"Yuki!" She ran to him, kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly as well. He didn't resist, hugging her back with a soft smile on his lips. She pulled her head back a bit. "I missed you guys so much! I-Is Kyo here, too?" She asked, trying to catch her breath.
"Yumi…" Kyo whispered from the doorway; eyes wide with disbelief. The poor girl's eyes threatened to overflow at the rim with tears as she wrapped her arms around him. Surprisingly, Kyo embraced her just as eagerly back and managed to lift her off the ground. Like the others, she kissed his cheek once.
"Kyo!" She sang. I realized my face hurt; I'd been smiling too much.
But as happy as this apparent reunion made me, I couldn't stop wandering just who was this girl.
