The Cat House

Summary: Kyou has been locked up for 15 years. Akito is dead so why hasn't Kyou come out yet. Tooru is heartbroken. Yuki is indifferent married with a child and has to deal with the love of a teenager, Petal.

Disclaimer: I do not own fruits basket. I only own Souma Petal and her sister Souma Yoruko. This is a sequel to Just One Little Push. Haru and Rin are not really the main focus but I have made their role in the story bigger.

Anniversary

Yoruko remembering something rushed into a box and pulled out something wrapped in ornate material. "We have to give this to mum and dad, it's there anniversary today." We rushed downstairs. I couldn't believe that mum and dad forgot about their anniversary, probably worrying about us too much. All these thought couldn't have prepared me for the site that greeted us as we got to the front room. It was not something that anyone wanted to see their parents doing. Yoruko drop the things she was holding while I gasped out "Mum, Dad" horrified.

Rin and Haru looked up guiltily.

"We were going to give you a present for your anniversary but looks like you two are already celebrating." Yoruko said disguising her shock.

Haru allowed Rin to unwrap the material. Inside were a locket and a wallet. Rin opened the locket but nothing was inside. "Petal's present is upstairs we'll go and get it."

In the hallway I looked questionably at Yoruko. "What did I get them?"

"You'll have to thank me for your present"

"What date is it?"

"It's August 8th." That's why it was so hot when we got back.

"How come we left at nearly Christmas now it's middle of summer?"

"I just realised why we were missing for 3 days."

"Huh?"

"When we didn't exist and no one knew us, we were wondering around for 3 days before we went back in time. I sort of forgot. But we were going to the shop to buy a camera and there was an earthquake. Nothing was out of the ordinary till we got home."

We entered my room and on my bed was a camera. "My presents a camera, it's a bit…"

"No, silly, it is pictures to put into the locket and wallet so mum and dad can carry us around with them. We were going to get dad a locket too but then we thought it was too girly. Then we saw the wallet and it had spaces for pictures so we got him that. I took the camera back in time and used at the fancy dress party and some random other thing's that happened before that." We returned down the stairs and Yoruko told mum and dad about the pictures in the camera and we decided to go out to get the film developed after they had exchanged presents in their room. We decided to leave them in peace and wait for them to fetch us.

Haru gave Rin a music box, it had a beautiful pattern over it in blues and greens and purple. Inside was a ballerina spinning around to a classical song. Rin gave Haru a new leather jacket which had the kanji Tenjou Tenge (heaven and earth) written down one arm and on the back some really complicated kanji so he could wear it when he was on his motorbike.

Mum and dad took their time to exchange presents leaving me time to get out of the Ayame-Styli dress that was way too hot to wear and frilly. Yoruko had gotten out of hers ages ago. Even after changing which took for ages because the dress was so darn hard to get off mum and dad still hadn't come down. I began to get inpatient I wanted to see the picture's I bet they were funny. Finally they came down and we went to shop to give the camera in. They said come back in a couple of hours and they should be developed. We went to the park and had some nice cold ice-creams. "I think that Petal should visit the rest of the family!" Yoruko exclaimed. I thought about seeing the others but I was afraid to. Yuki and Kyou and everyone would be a lot older and I won't even remember them accept for a while when they were at school before I was born. And there was probably people I had known and but didn't know now and what about Hatori. He was d… I couldn't even think it.

"I think that we should go and see Yuki first" I gave Yoruko a dirty look. Did she do that on purpose?

"That's a great idea; I had to talk to Yuki come to think of it." Haru said. Rin threw a suspicious look at him but agreed and I found myself following some what reluctantly. I really did want to see Yuki but he was also the person I was most afraid to see.

We walked down a path which I felt I had been down before. "I've been here before"

"Yuki lives in Gure-chan's house"

"He still lives with Shigure-san" I laughed a little. The thought of it was hilarious.

"Shigure died about 18 years ago with Hatori" I didn't even know Shigure, I never met him but the news hit me like a ton of bricks.

"What happened?" I wonder why I never asked how Hatori died.

""I don't know. It was before I was born and no one speaks of it." No one speaks of it. Why?

Yuki hadn't change that much, his hairstyle was the same, and he just was a little taller and had a more mature face. I was shocked to see that he had a wife and a child nearly my age. It turned out his wife Machi went to their school and was in Dad's year. Their child was called Maki真輝 and he was in his last year of Middle school. This news was so shocking, I don't know what I was expecting but I didn't expect that.

"Does she know?" I whispered to Yuki who I was sitting next to by coincidence.

Yuki looked at me questionably then getting the meaning nodded. I didn't want to know how that worked out, actually I was a little bit curious but there was no way I was going to ask. No way in hell.

We didn't stay long because we had to go back to the photo shop. I was glad because I felt so uncomfortable sitting next to Yuki when he was with Machi. Maki wasn't about and I wondered if he was part of the zodiac.

"So you've seen Ayame, Yuki and obviously our parents and us. So that leaves Kagura, Momiji, Hiro and Kisa." Yoruko exclaimed as we walked down the path.

"Who are Hiro and Kisa?" I've never heard of them before.

"We'll go and meet them tomorrow yer"

"OK" we looked at the photos and they were way funny. The man gave us a CD as well so we could make copies if we like and I wanted to go home and print of big ones so I could put them on my wall.

"We should take these round to Momiji bet he would like them and we should give a copy to Tooru it might cheer her up"

"What's wrong with Tooru? I swear she was ever the optimist" I found that I was talking to myself because Yoruko had left and gone into the kitchen. I printed up two extra sets normal size for Momiji and Tooru. I couldn't wait to see Tooru again she was always so cheerful and such a klutz that I bet that she hadn't changed and Momiji too. I only talked to him for a little but he was so childish looking and full of life.

Today was so strange; it started 20 years ago and ended in the present. It had been winter there and now it was midsummer.

End Note: If I refer to Rin or Haru I'm going to say mum and dad respectively. That's if there is any confusion. RinHaru4ever I know you're a Rin and Haru fan and so I have made them have a bigger role in the story then I had previously imagined. I hope that you find the story okay. I put the story under Yuki and Kyo because they were going to be my main characters but that is like a Shounen Ai category but I still done it anyway and am tempted to turn the story Shounen Ai but I don't think I'm going to because it doesn't have anything to do with the story even though there is a plot in my head to make Yuki and Kyo get together. Oh I'm so confused.
