This was a wacky fanfiction idea I had from long ago. It's definitely not gonna be one of my best works, but here we go! All of the Zodiac's curses were lifted for some reason (I don't know at the moment, but I need it to be broken to work my story) EXCEPT for Kyo's, since he's the cat. I'm so evil I know. I'm sorry; I'm a strictly non-swearing person, so I can't let Kyo swear. Except in asterixes , and you can just imagine what he's gonna say.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket. Not even the DVD. So SAD!! (I have no idea why I'm supposed to put disclaimers, but I'm just copying all the stories that I read that have disclaimers.
Chapter 1
Tohru put on her light pink dress and new shoes for her date with Zen. She was smiling lightly and she stepped outside into the living room where Yuki and Kyo sat, eyes glued to the television, but not really watching anything. The moment Tohru walked into the room, the glue that held their attention just disappeared and their eyes snapped across towards the beauty standing at the doorway.
"Do you think my hair looks too casual with the dress?" Tohru asked. I actually need Hana and Uo for fashion criticism but I'm in a hurry so Yuki and Kyo would do...
Both men's eyes raked over her body but none of them spoke. "Oh...I guess I better do it up then," Tohru began, hastily trying to put her hair up into a neat bun.
"Sorry, Tohru! You look beautiful, your hair is fine. Are you going on another date with Zen?" Yuki asked. Tohru nodded and smiled.
"I'm nearly late, I better go! Take care, Yuki, Kyo! Dinner is in the refrigerator!" She half-shouted out the door as she shoved the keys into her evening bag.
"Wait," Kyo ran towards the front door. "Isn't he picking you up?"
"No, he told me to go to the restaurant by myself. It's alright. It's only 15 minutes from here. I better run!" Tohru replied quickly and ran as fast as she could in her high heels.
"Some nice date," Yuki said. "He's not even picking her up." Kyo grunted and went to his room. Yuki turned off the television and went to his room to clean, well at least try, to clean his room.
Tohru arrived at the restaurant on time. Zen wasn't even there yet. She waited for a few minutes and then she saw a black limousine ride up to the restaurant. Wow, I didn't know this restaurant was that high-class. Oh wait, that's Zen!
As the door opened, Zen stepped out of it and she saw a lady sitting in the car, holding a champagne glass. Zen walked towards Tohru.
"Who is that?" Tohru began. Zen followed her gaze back to the open door.
"Well, actually she's my date for tonight. I'm sorry to cancel on you. Good night and goodbye!" He started to walk back to the car to escort his date, but Tohru caught his arm.
"Are you...breaking up with me?" Tohru stammered, her eyes brimming with tears that would fall any second.
"Honey, we were never together. I wasn't your boyfriend, and you weren't mine. Now just go home or something before you embarrass yourself." Zen finally made it to the car and held his arm out for the girl to hold. She stepped out of the car, and there she was. Ruriko Hiyo, one of the nicest girls in the class. The couple walked past Tohru, who by now, had tears down her face. Ruriko passed Tohru a tissue and Tohru whispered as they past, "You said you loved me Zen. After the first date. Ruriko, I hope he doesn't fool you too."
Tohru turned and started walking back home. Her tears soaked up the tissue and she threw it in a nearby dustbin. When she reached home, it was only 8pm. The guys would still be awake. She turned the key in the lock as quietly as possible and took off her shoes, left it beside the others and started walking silently to her room. Just as she passed Kyo's room, she sniffed carelessly and loudly too. She stopped. Kyo had super hearing. He would come out, ask her what's going on, and she would have to explain. She did NOT want that. She ran towards her room on her tiptoes but as she tried to close the door, Kyo appeared in front of her. She looked down and saw that Kyo's foot was holding the door open. She sighed and released the door. Busted.
She put her bag down in front of the mirror, and fell on her bed, face forward. Kyo had already seen her red eyes, so she unlocked her tears and let them stain the blanket. Kyo asked her what happened. When the story ended Kyo had already turned into a cat and was yelling swear words at an imaginary Zen.
"I'm sorry Tohru. I can't even hug you properly without turning into a cat," Kyo sighed. "Damn that Zen b. Good riddance Tohru. It's okay, just go to sleep. He pulled his clothes with his mouth and went out the door before he could change back into his human form. In front of his room was a pair of legs that belonged to Yuki. Kyo looked up; he certainly didn't like looking up to Yuki. Damn that cat form!
"What do you want, damn rat?" Kyo spat. He slid under his legs and pushed his door open. Yuki was kind enough to turn the doorknob for him earlier. He scowled. Kyo did not want any sympathy from the rat.
"Have you forgotten I'm not a rat anymore?" Yuki teased, unsmiling. "Anyway, about Tohru, we need to teach that Zen guy some sense." Kyo 'poofed' and Yuki turned around.
"Yeah...the first time I agree with you. Let's go when she's asleep. We really can't let her find out." Kyo said. He pushed past Yuki and made his way to the front door.
Kyo and Yuki stood outside the restaurant that Tohru had mentioned she was going to earlier. Good timing, they both thought as they saw Zen and Ruriko walk outside. The couple walked towards their limousine, that was parked a few cars away from the restaurant. The driver was not present, so the couple stood outside the car, talking and kissing. Yuki and Kyo looked disgusted. They made their way across to the lim. Yuki turned Zen around and Kyo gave him a good punch on the face. Ruriko screamed.
"That's for mistreating Tohru. And you, Ruriko, don't mess with this guy, you never know when you're gonna be replaced with another one," Yuki warned.
"GET LOST you bs!" Zen yelled. His hand was instinctively covering his face. "Come on Ruriko. Let's go!" To his surprise, Ruriko had disappeared into a taxi that she had waved up when he was yelling. "ARGHH! Damn you two! You lost me my date!" Zen roared.
"Just like Tohru lost hers. Have a good night, no actually have a bad night," Kyo said and he turned and walked in the other direction. Yuki followed suit.
"ARGHHHH! Tohru Honda, you'll pay for your bodyguards!!" Zen yelled to no one in particular. He stormed off into the dark street.
