This not going to be like the acctual story Fruits Baskets. All of the characters will be OOC. Please Rate and Tell me what ya think of the story. The character's names are the one's that aren't in parenthese. The one's that are are the original names.

"So, who lives in there?" asked a masculine voice through my half-cracked door.

"Just a half-breed, forget about her." This voice turned out to be one of my 'least' favorite next door neighbors. I could see her through the crack in the door. She was a blonde, not that I have anything against blondes. It's just that when you apply blonde jokes to her, the blondes in the jokes are brilliantly smart. She loves to tread around showing off as much as she possibly can. For God's sakes, I'd think sometimes. There are children here.

Why don't they just leave? I thought trying to decide if I'd get up and close the door. I finally have a day off, and she ruins it every single time! I thought I might be able to get away from all of the trouble if I came to Kytenlia. Nope. It just seems to follow me every which way… See what I get for thinking… I start arguing with myself. That sure makes me look like a normal person.

A knock on my door brought me back to reality.

"Yes?" I said groggily. I lifted my head to see someone poking their head through my cracked door.

"Hi," he waved. "I'm new here and wanted to get to know my neighbors." I thought I heard him say, "…for the time being," but I thought nothing of it. He walked in without any thought of asking. I was too tired to ask him to get out. "I'm Kyou," he said taking a nice look around. Then he looked at me. "Could I ask your name?" You just did, I wanted to say but kept it to myself. Plus, it's 'May I…' not 'Could I…' Ugh, I think too much, I thought to myself still trying to wake up.

I sat up-right rubbing the sleeping sand from my eyes and glancing at the clock on the opposing wall. I had a couple of hours till I was even going to get ready for work. Then I looked from the clock to him to find him a nice looking kind of guy. Rare, but I doubt he's as nice as he makes himself out to be. My god, I mean there's no way a Kyten with orange hair that hung perfectly around his face to make him look as if he walked out of some Hollywood movies not five minutes ago would be a prince charming. It's the obvious thought, isn't it? There's also no way someone like him could be some kind of gentleman when he had the body of a heavenly being that stood out in any crowd no matter where you were. His pants and shirt seemed to add to all of this by exaggerating every muscle that had obviously no fat what-so-ever. His long cat-like tail swung in delightful swings, and his ears were perked as if he was meeting someone of importance. Yes, Prince Charming's evil twin just walked in, I sniggered to myself.

"What are ya' doing, Kyou? I thought you wanted to check this place out." Sheila, my horrid next door neighbor, stuck her head in not venturing any further into a 'Half-breed's' room as she'd say behind my back loud enough so that I could hear. The only reason she didn't like me was because I looked everything like a human being and nothing like a Kyten. The only thing that I was lucky enough to have such as a Kyten was a wondrous voice. It had been my world till a few years ago, but that's history. I don't like history.

He looked over his shoulder to answer. "I'll let you finish it later. I want to talk to sleepy head here. She, uh, has something I want, and I'd like to talk to her about it." I gave him a slight look, but went back to my task of trying to rid my eyes of dust.

Sheila, thankfully, didn't argue and left with an expression saying she'd kill me if anything happened, like anything would. That would be a laugh to tell Lional, my best friend. He'd be laughing harder than I would.

I looked from my door then to the 'guy.' God, and how many times have I heard his name already? I really need to start listening. "Okay, what do ya' want, mister?" I asked leaning forward putting my elbows on my knees that where draped over the bedside.

He let out a great sigh and collapsed on the floor startling me just enough to make me raise an eyebrow, but nothing to make me really jump three feet in the air. "Am I ever glad to get away from her," he said as more of a statement than a question. "All she did was hang on my arm and talk, talk, talk, talk." He made a little beak like figure with his hand imitating her. "It was plain out scary," he made the hand pupet say. Changing the pitch of his voice, he did a really funny impression of Sheila. "Oh and over there is the spot were most of the losers hand out. You know you're cute. Blah, blah, blah." I gave him a slight grin when he finished.

"Well," I said trying to get to the point. "Now that you've 'gotten rid' of her, could ya' please leave? I was sleeping." He gave me a semi-startled look that immediately changed to one of hurt.

"But I need to repay you for your help," he whined, his hand pupet agreeing with him.

I gave him a questioning look, shook my head in spite of myself, sprawled myself back onto my bed, and closed my eyes hoping that ignoring him might give him the impression that I didn't want him there and he could now leave. He didn't take the hint. I felt the side of my bed have this sudden drop and the springs let shrieking whines as more weight was added to the bed. I looked over my shoulder to find him there giving me this childish grin. It was as bad as him saying, "Ignoring me won't work," in one of those high pitched singing voices.

Getting very agitated, I tried to push him off as I said, "What do you want?! I'm trying to sleep!"

He didn't fall off as planned. He took hold of my necklace and my left arm to brace himself.

"What's this?" he asked with sudden interest.

I took it from him and yanked my arm from his firm hold still trying to knock him out of the bed. "It was a gift from my dying grandma. Why?"

"No reason," he shrugged.

"Okay, now that we have that settled, will you PLEASE get out of my bed!?!" This damned guy was going to be the death of me. If not, I was going to be the death of him. I was really hoping that I wouldn't be running him much around the complex of apartments.

He gave me the puppy dog face. Lower lip poking out, eyes as big as could be…You know the face that no one wants to deal with. That was the one he was giving me at that exact moment. "B-but, I'm repaying my debt to you," he whined. That was the last straw, and what debt must he repay me? He didn't owe me a thing!

"Do that later! I'm trying to sleep!" I screamed as I pushed the boy off my bed, finally succeeding in kicking him off by kicking him in the nuts.

That had been what he wanted to hear, but not what he'd wanted to happen. His pout went from a grin to pure pain within a second's time. When the pain seemed to have passed he hollered at the top of his lungs, "Yes! A date!" He walked over to me and took my wrists in my hands very excitedly. "Meet me outside at seven. Promise, or I won't leave you alone," he said stiffening his legs as if not to be budged from that spot. This guy was treating me as if we'd known each other for years.

I sighed dramatically thinking about what he'd said. "Fine, but on one condition," I said. He didn't say anything, but he gave me the expectant look. I shook my head. There was no way on Earth or Kytenlia that he was really just going to walk into my room and ask me out without standing me up. "You have to actually show up, got it?"

He blinked a couple of times like the thought hadn't even crossed his mind. Then he agreed with a little bit of worry in his voice, but that seemed to pass as he quickly jolted out of my room. From there, I turned back into my pillow and blankets and went straight to sleep.
