Disscliamer: I do NOT own Fruits Basket so ehh.....
"Happy birthday big sister!!" called out the two little girls in matching blue flowered dresses.
"Aww well thank you girls!" blushed Tohru as she bent over and gave the small girls light hugs. "So do you like the party so far?" The little girls nodded happily huge smiles going across their faces.
"Ya your house is really nice!!" They said squeaking happily before they ran along to the pieces of cake waiting for them at a near by table. Before long another girl came to congratulate the new fully adults 21th birthday.
"Hey Tohru!" chimed a strong voice before a slender arm wrapped around the girls shoulder that belonged to none other then her best friend Uao. "don't it feel refreshing to be 21 at last?"
"Well I can't really say..... I don't really feel any diffrent Uao.." Tohru blushed a bit looking down at her feet. "I feel more nervouse then anything!"
"Oh come on!! Be happy that you can do pretty much anything you want now!!" Uao let her arm fall back to her side as a huge grin came across her face. "I even got you someth-"
"We......" Came a small unemotional voice from the side that only belonged to Hanna. Uao sighed crossing her arms to her chest in a small pout.
"Okay WE!!....Got you something that'll keep you company around the house!!" Her grin got wider then ever before as she squeaked lightly "And it wasn't very cheap so you better like it!!" Tohru blushed lightly her head going down a bit in embarrassment.
"Aww you shouldn't have! I don't deserve anything from you guys all I wanted was for you to come and have a good time!"
"None sense!" Uao sighed shaking her head before patting Tohru's head harshly ruffling up her hair. "You diserv much more then we can give you!" She chuckled a bit pulling the small girl close to her chest in a warm hug. "You really are a saint ain't ya?"
She sighed some chuckling softly before giving a light smile to her friend. "Well after everyone leaves you'll see your surprise by about night time!!" She chuckled once again before shooing the birthday girl off. "Okay it's your party now have some fun!!"
_____________________________________
The room was quiet every one had gone to there own homes leaving their messes to be cleaned by the owner of the house. The small frail girl sighed looking around at the spilt food on the floor and crumpled up napkins by the trashcan not really meeting their destination.
"Well time to start cleaning!" The girl said in a positive voice trying to Cheer her self up. It was lonely in the big house all alone. She had her friends come by almost every day but the house still held the same emptiness it came with after she got it. She thought she would have met somebody by now but no one really seemed interested in her. Every time she met a nice boy he only wanted to be friends and not anything else. That made her even more lonely.
After her house was close to godlyness once again the door bell rang. She gasped some jumping almost a foot in the air before quickly running to the door trembling. When she opened the door (well it really didn't need to be opend) Uao came barging in Hanna following right behind her.
"Aww you cleaned this place up all ready?" Uao complained as she looked around the spotless house. "God damn it! We were going to help you!"
"Well you did want to wait till the keeper called..." Said Hanna in a matter-of-fact voice.
"I didn't know she would be done that fast!" She sighed lightly looking to the floor. "Sorry Tohru I thought we could surprise you with him and cleaning."
"Come on Uao no use crying over spilt milk.... but lets go before the keeper decides to leave..." Spoke out Hanna as she walked quietly to the exit of the house.
"Wait.....Him?" Asked Tohru as she quikly followed Hanna. "What exactly did you guys get me?"
"Well remember when you said you wanted a pet?"
"You got me a puppy?"
"Nope something even better!" Touru tilted her head to the side thinking for a bit.
"A ferret?"
"Nope."
"Bird?"
"No."
"How bout rabbit?"
"Negative.."
"Hmm... Maybe a cat?"
"........Kinda!" Said Uao a huge smirk on her face as she opened the front door to show a big truck with a huge cage attached to the back. Tohru was confused when she saw the truck until she saw the sign with a cute little boy with little puppy ears and tail attached to his body holding a collar out to no one in particular. The word GIP was neatly written at the bottom by the feet of the little boy.
"You got me a GIP?" She asked tilting her head to the side. Uao nodded her head gratefully a pridefull smile on her face.
"Yup and it's a cat breed!" She squeaked lightly going to a man on the truck before Tohru could say any thing else. She talked to him for a while before he got out of the truck and handed her a clipboard and pin. She then quickly trotted back to Tohru handing her it and thrusting the pin in her hand. "Sign please!" She said hyperly putting her hand on the clip board to sign.
"Wait!!" Tohru finely said grabbing Uaos arm before she ran off again. Uao just looked back at her, her eye's seemed questioning and a little sad. Tohru quickly gasped thinking that she hurt her friends feelings trying to clear it up she said. "D-don't I at least get to see him first?"
Uao smiled more grabbing her by the arm and dragging her to the back of the truck lifting up a blanket for her to see the boy inside.
He was curled up in the corner seeming to be asleep. He looked about her age but the first thing that was noticed about him was his bright orange hair and a pair of bent back ears on top of his head of the same color a orange kinda fluffy tail with some white at the end flickering back and forth right beside him. He was nicely tanned and wore only shorts and nothing else to cover his body on his shoulder a large bar code stood out making it known he can be bought and sold.
"And he's untrained so you can teach him anything you want..." Hanna said coming out from behind her to stand next to her looking at the boy in the cage also. "He was the best looking on there and there are also no marks on him that are visible..."
"Yup and he's healthy!" Uao said leaning on the truck. "Now ain't ya gonna sign?"
