Author's Notes:

And Cali has spawned -another- story! O_o Fruits Basket has taken over my life. ;_;

Hehehehe... ^.^* I know I promised a dark Akito one but I was too genki to write anything depressing. So -THIS- was born. Yes. Insanity ficcy-fied. I don't know what got over me when I wrote this... must be too much chocolate. ^_~ It's a weird warped take on the story Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

No need for warnings here, except that it may affect your sanity. ^_^* And I don't own Fruits Basket btw. =3 Oh yeah! Now I will take the time to thank Avamea (ur wallpaper's on me desktop now. ^_^), Mayumi and Rane. Why? Cuz they greeted me when I joined. Cali thinks that's sweet. *_* ~sparkle~ See, I pay attention to small things. ^_~

Now, onto the fic! ^O^-Yosh!


~Tohru Honda and the Seven Chibi Sohma's~
Act 1: 'Princess Tohru's, Evil Akito's, and a whole bunch of chibi's'
Written by: Cali-chan


//Spotlight turns on to illuminate Shigure, lounging on a couch and smiling winningly//

Shigure: Hello minna-san! ~waves~ I, genius author Shigure, am here to tell you all a story. It is a story of love, of danger, of adventure, of-

//A shoe is thrown across the stage, narrowly missing him//

Kyo's voice: Get one with it! We don't have all day!

Shigure: ~coughs~ Where was I before I was rudely interrupted. ~glares offstage~ Oh yes. Now let me tell you the beginning. ~takes out a piece of paper and reads~

Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Honda, there lived a very beautiful and wise queen. She ruled carefully and with intelligence, the entire nation flourishing beneath her reign.

She only had one child, the Princess Tohru who was gentle as a flower and had a heart of gold. She and her mother were as close as could be. Tohru could not imagine life without her.

But suddenly, the princess found that she was forced to.

//Thunder strike//

Yuki's voice from offstage: Oh god. -.- We even have sound effects?!

Shigure: Stop interrupting! Now where was I... Oh yes! ~continues reading~

On one of her daily horseback rides the queen met an unfortunate accident. Although the kingdom's best doctor's tried to save her all was in vain. She died the next night, the death bells tolling loudly.

The kingdom had merely mourned for two days when the foreign armies of King Akito attacked, taking complete control of the Honda Kingdom. Princess Tohru was forced to flee with her two trusted guardians, Hana and Ou, deep into the nearby wooded mountains. Then somehow along the way they had gotten separated.

Tohru now suddenly found herself all alone in a forest she knew nothing about, with her mother's painting as her only possession. She managed to make a small home in a cave, surviving off a small stream and little bushes of blueberries. After a few days of settling in she decided to go and explore the surrounding areas.

Shigure: ~smiles~ That my friends, is the start of our story. Now sit back, relax, and get your bottle of sake ready. For this insanity is best taken when one isn't sober. And now, I shall be known as narrator, and will be your guide through this magical land. As the tale of Tohru Honda and the seven chibi Sohma's begins....

//Curtain rises to reveal a forest//

[Sounds of birds chirping; lights are turned up to make morning sunlight]

Tohru: ~sticks her head out of a cave~ What a beautiful morning! Ne, oka-san?

Queen's picture: ...

Tohru: Well, I'm off to explore now! I have to see if anyone lives in this large forest! See you later oka-san!

Queen's picture: ...

Narrator: And so Tohru made her way through the forest, skipping happily without a care in the world.

Tohru: Oh I'm so happy and I don't have a care in the world! ~trips~

Narrator: ...

Tohru: Ahahahaha... gomen ne. ~stands and dusts off the dirt on her dress~

Narrator: Hai... Anyway, after a few minutes of exploring, she came upon a tiny quaint cottage. Tohru was charmed by it.

Tohru: Oh! I'm so charmed by it!

Narrator: She decided to look inside to see if anyone was home.

Tohru: I'll look inside to see if anyone's home!

Narrator: -_- Tohru-kun... Do you have to copy what I say word for word?

Tohru: ~blinks~ Ano...

Narrator: ~sighs~ Never mind.

Tohru: ~Nods~ Hai! ~waits expectantly~

Narrator: What are you waiting for Tohru-kun?

Tohru: What do I do next? ~smiles~

Narrator: Oh. Yeah. ~grins sheepishly~ Ahahahahaha...

Yuki's voice: Baka... I told him we needed to practice first.

Narrator: Ahem. Well, so she opened the door carefully and slipped inside. She was so surprised!

Tohru: I'm so surprised!

Narrator: She couldn't believe it!

Tohru: I can't believe it!

Narrator: She had forgotten to brush her teeth!

Tohru: I had forgotten to- ~trails of and blushes~ Ano...

Narrator: Just kidding Tohru-kun! Ahahahahaha...

Kyo's voice from offstage: Let me go! I'll kill the bastard!

Hatori's voice: Shhhh... calm down Kyo-kun.

Yuki's voice: We can all kill him later.

Haru's voice: In the safety of our home.

Yuki's voice: No witnesses.

Narrator: O.o Anyway, she was so surprised!

Tohru: I already said that Shigure-san.

Narrator: Oh, yeah. Ahahahahaha...

Yuki's voice: Get on with it!

Narrator: Hai hai. The house was built for little children. Tiny chairs, tiny tables, and tiny little cups and plates.

Tohru: ~gushes~ Kawaii!!! *_* Little children must live here!

Narrator: Then she walks into the kitchen.

Tohru: ~walks into the kitchen~ O_O

Narrator: She was so surprised!

Tohru: O_O

Narrator: What a mess it was!

Tohru: O_O

Narrator: ... Tohru-kun?

Tohru: Su-sugoi desu. ~eyes travel up the mounds of plates~

Narrator: Then she decided to walk upstairs and check the bedrooms.

Tohru: Matte! I have to clean this first! The poor children, they must have no mother to take care of them!

Narrator: All right then. So Tohru decides to clean the kitchen for the poor children.

Tohru: ~pulls up the sleeves of her dress~ Ikimasu yo! ~starts washing~

Narrator: After a few hours...

Tohru: ~sighs~ Finished. ^_^

Narrator: So now she decides to go upstairs and-

Tohru: Matte! I have to cook dinner for them. They might be hungry when they arrive.

Narrator: Okay then. So Tohru decides to cook dinner.

Tohru: Ikimasu yo! ~starts preparing vegetables~

Narrator: And after a few hours...

Tohru: Finished. ^_^

Narrator: Now does she go upstairs?

Tohru: Hai! ~nods~

Narrator: Okay, so she goes upstairs.

Tohru: ~climbs the steps and stops in front of the door~

Narrator: And she enters it carefully.

Tohru: I will enter carefully...

Narrator: ^.^*

Tohru: Ara? Kawaii!!! *_*

Narrator: She see's the beds.

Tohru: Oh look! There's an animal carved on each one! Let's see, a rat, an ox, a tiger, a snake, a seahorse, a rabbit and a cat! ~she blinks~ The cat's bed is so much bigger than the rest... ~glances offstage~ Why is that?

Narrator: Shhh, Tohru-kun! You'll give away the plot!

Tohru: Ha-hai! Gomen ne!

Narrator: Tohru was so tired that slipped into the neko bed, which was the only on big enough for her, and fell fast asleep.

Tohru: ~snuggles beneath the covers~ Oyasuminasai... ~dozes off~

Narrator: That's when -they- arrived. The most cutest, sweetest, most lovable things in the entire Honda kingdom-

//drum roll//

Kyo's voice: What the hell?!

Narrator: The seven chibi Sohma's!

//Six tiny chibi's appear by height. The tallest which is Hatori, then the next one which is Ayame, then Haru, Momiji, Kisa, then the smallest which is Yuki. They all have the ears and tails of their assigned animals. But since Ayame's animal has no ears he merely has a small scaly white tail.//

Chibi-Seahorse-Hatori: ~mutters~ They aren't paying me enough for this...

Chibi-Bunny-Momiji: Aren't I cute? ~smiles and points to each cheek~

Chibi-snake-Ayame: Waa~ah. Yuki's so adorable! He's the smallest one too! ~snuggles chibi-rat-Yuki~

Chibi-Rat-Yuki: Hanase! ¬_¬ ~squirms~ I'm only putting up with this because Tohru asked me too...

Narrator: ^.^*

Chibi-Ox-Haru: Where's Kyo? If we have to suffer so does he.

Kyo's voice: I'm not coming out in this-this-this... this OUTFIT!!

Narrator: Kagura-san?

Kagura's voice: Hai!

//Sounds of a fight is heard offstage. Kyo is finally tossed into view, tied up in pink ribbons. He is the only un-chibi one among the Sohma's but still has the cat ears and tail.//

Unchibi-cat-Kyo: Get these pink ribbons off me!

Chibi-tiger-Kisa: ~unties him~ Daijoubu ka?

Narrator: Unfortunately, despite their name, the seven chibi Sohma's weren't all chibi. Kyo was the only normal sized of all of them. Why? God, while making them, decided to give the extra-chibiness to Yuki since Kyo was late. Thus Kyo wasn't chibi-fied. But since 'The Six Chibi Sohma's and the unchibi Kyo' was too long a name they decided to include him instead, despite his unchibified state.

chibi-snake-Ayame: Haii~ii. My little brother's so kawaii! ~huggles Yuki~

chibi-ox-Haru: Yuki. ~snatches him from Ayame and hugs him tightly~

Chibi-snake-Ayame: Hey! I was huggling him!

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: Can you two stop fighting over Yuki and get this play done?

chibi-snake-Ayame: I'm only taking advantage of him now! He won't be chibi after the play!

chibi-ox-Haru: ~nods~

chibi-rat-Yuki: Oh God. -_-

Narrator: ~coughs~ Well, they were so surprised!

chibi-bunny-Momiji: I'm so surprised!

chibi-tiger-Kisa: ~blushes slightly~ So am I...

Everyone else: ...

Narrator: Hey! -All- of you are supposed to be surprised.

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: How can we be if we don't even know what we're surprised for?

Narrator: Smart mouth.

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: ... I foresee a -special- medical checkup for Shigure Sohma soon.

Narrator: O_o I take it all back.

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: ~nods in satisfaction~

Narrator: Well, they were surprised because everything was clean! Their pigsty of a house was spotless and the dishes were washed!

chibi-snake-Ayame: How do you expect us to clean and wash dishes if we can't even reach the sink. ~_^

chibi-rat-Yuki: Kyo's the only one who can.

chibi-ox-Haru: But the last time he tried all we got from it was broken dishes.

chibi-tiger-Kisa: We had to eat off banana leaves...

chibi-bunny-Momiji: But it was fun! ^_^

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: Momiji's been sneaking off and eating my Prozac again...

Narrator: Then they smelled the sweet cooking.

Everyone: ~sniff~ O_O

chibi-ox-Haru: That smells good...

unchibi-neko-Kyo: ~walks up into it and peers inside~ It's probably poisoned... someone's been here just recently. It's still warm.

chibi-tiger-Kisa: ~glances upstairs~ Did we leave the door to the bedroom open?

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: The intruder must be in there!

Narrator: So they all climb the stairs.

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: By height!

//Everyone forms a straight line with Kyo in front.//

unchibi-neko-Kyo: Hey! Why am I in front?!

chibi-ox-Haru: You're the tallest.

unchibi-neko-Kyo: Damn it! Fine! ~stomps up the stairs with the rest of the chibi's scurrying after him~

Narrator: They hear deafening snores from-

chibi-rat-Yuki: Honda-san doesn't snore! ~chibi death glare~

Narrator: Kawaii Yuki-kun! *_*

chibi-rat-Yuki: -_-

chibi-snake-Ayame: Daijoubu Yuki-chan! It's hard to look menacing when your barely two feet tall. ^_^

chibi-rat-Yuki: Since when did I say you could call me -chan?!

Narrator: I was just kidding. Tohru-kun doesn't snore. ^_~ Well, so they go up to the bed where the princess lay sleeping peacefully.

chibi-Tiger-Kisa: She's so pretty...

chibi-bunny-Momiji: Wai! I wanna glomp her! ^O^

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: Don't. Who knows what kind of germs big people have.

unchibi-cat-Kyo: Hey!

Narrator: Suddenly the princess stirs from her sleep. All the chibi Sohma's go into hiding except for chibi-rat-Yuki and unchibi-cat-Kyo. They were so entranced by Tohru's beauty that they couldn't move.

Tohru: ~blinks when she catches sight of a Yuki and Kyo by her bed~ Wh-who are you?

chibi-rat-Yuki: ~blinks cutely~ Hello. ~waves~

Tohru: Wai! ~picks him up~ Hello! ~places him on her lap and strokes his soft hair~ You even have little ears! Aren't you sweet!

//One by one tiny Sohma heads pop up to peep from behind the mattress.//

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: Who are you?

chibi-snake-Ayame: You look familiar.

Tohru: My name is Tohru. ~smiles~

chibi-ox-Haru: You're the princess!

Tohru: Ha-hai.

chibi-snake-Ayame: We heard what Akito did to your kingdom!

Tohru: Hai... ~cries softly~ Now I don't have any place to go...

chibi-rat-Yuki: ~wipes her tears away with tiny hands~ You could stay with us.

unchibi-cat-Kyo: What?! But she's a girl!

chibi-snake-Ayame: So?

chibi-tiger-Kisa: ~raises her hand shyly~ I'm a girl too.

chibi-ox-Haru: ~smirk~ Kyo's scared because he's never seen anyone his size before.

unchibi-cat-Kyo: I am -not- scared!! ~fumes~

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: You can stay here princess. All we ask from you is that you clean the house for us and cook dinner.

Tohru: Okay!

chibi-bunny-Momiji: ~claps~ YaY!!

//They introduced themselves to the Princess one by one and by height.//

Tohru: Why isn't Kyo-san chibi too?

chibi-snake-Ayame: ~shrugs~ All his chibiness went to Yuki instead. That's why Yuki's the smallest. ~heart eyes~ He could fit into your pocket!

unchibi-cat-Kyo: I'm happy the way I am! I don't want to be smaller than someone's knee!

chibi-ox-Haru: Now what do we do next?

Everyone: ...

//They wait for a few more minutes.//

chibi-tiger-Kisa: I think Shigu- ... I mean, narrator-san fell asleep.

chibi-ox-Haru: The idiot.

chibi-seahorse-Hatori: I am -not- getting paid enough for this...

chibi-Bunny-Momiji: Let's just eat while waiting for him to wake up!

unchibi-ox-Haru: ~grins~ That's the only good thing that's come out of your mouth in this entire chapter.

chibi-bunny-Momiji: Hey! ~pouts~

//Everyone goes down to eat, leaving Tohru and chibi-rat-Yuki behind. Unchibi-cat-Kyo secretly waits by the door.//

Tohru: Why does Kyo-san not like me...

chibi-rat-Yuki: Oh, he's just a baka neko. Ignore him.

unchibi-cat-Kyo: ~hair bristles~

chibi-rat-Yuki: ~smiles sweetly~ Let's go down to eat ne?

//They go out the door only to see unchibi-cat-Kyo.//

unchibi-cat-Kyo: I need to tell you something...

chibi-rat-Yuki: She has to eat. ~chibi death glare~

unchibi-cat-Kyo: ~picks up Yuki and tosses him over the banister~

Tohru: Yuki-san!

unchibi-cat-Kyo: ~sniffs~ Don't worry. That guy never gets hurt. Ayame and Haru have an inborn Yuki radar.

//Sure enough after a few seconds://

chibi-ox-Haru's voice: Poor Yuki-chan! You almost fell! Good thing I caught you!

chibi-snake-Ayame's voice: Where does it hurt? I'll kiss it and make it all better.

chibi-rat-Yuki's voice: Let me go!

unchibi-cat-Kyo: ~smirks~ See.

Tohru: Ha-hai.

unchibi-cat-Kyo: Umm.. well... I just wanted to say... ah...

Tohru: ~blinks~ Hai?

unchibi-cat-Kyo: That... um... I didn't mean what I said okay?

Tohru: ~smiles~ Honto?

unchibi-cat-Kyo: Y-yeah. ~blushes and looks away~ I've just never seen anyone my size before.

Tohru: Daijoubu! I understand. I hope we get along better now. ^_^

unchibi-cat-Kyo: ~turns an even deeper shade of red~ Yeah...

//They walk down the stairs.//

Tohru: Ne, Kyo-san? Why do you hate Yuki-san?

unchibi-cat-Kyo: He put leeks in my dinner yesterday. ~scowls~ So I hid his cheese. We like to fight a lot. ~shrugs~ But other than that we're fine.

Tohru: ~smiles~ I'm glad.

//They go to join the others. Meanwhile, in Honda castle.//

Akito: ~lays sprawled sensuously on his bed~ Where could the princess be... I need her to tell me where her mother hid her crown. ~slips off the bed and walks to the mirror~ You. Tell me where Princess Tohru is.

Mirror: Say please.

Akito: ~glare~

Mirror: Geh. ~shows him the cottage~

Akito: So that's where she is. ~evil smile~ I shall have to go get her tomorrow.

Narrator: Ah? Whuh? Where? Where was I?

Akito: ...

Narrator: Akito-sama. O.o

Akito: ~sighs~ I'm only doing this for Yuki...

Narrator: Well.. Umm.. this story will be continued tomorrow! Due to unfortunate events we cannot continue!

Kagura's voice: He drooled all over his script and all the ink washed off.

Narrator: Well.. that's... ~chuckles nervously~ Gomen... ^.^*

Everyone: -_-

~TBC~
