I don't own Fruits Basket or any of the Characters within this story, even the ones I made up.
Special thanks goes to all the previously uploaded fanfics online that gave me the idea to write this fanfic myself.
Note: This has Kyouru as the main pairing, but is relatively Yuki oriented and has minimal Kyouru Moments. Sorry to disappoint.
Further Note: All Names are in Japanese Order and no Middle Names. So the Name order will always be: [Family Name] [Given Name]. Also, no Maiden Names will be given.

The Shadows of Despair and the Fires of Vengeance
Prologue
It was a Sunny day, a Mild Spring day. To make it better, it was a Saturday and no school on that particular afternoon. Small Clouds dotted the sky but did not threatened to turn the day into a Bad day. Everybody was minding their own business in an apparently normal day in the Souma Household. Yuki, the Prince of Kaibara High School was out in his Secret Base, maintaining his hidden Garden, weeding, Planting, and harvesting. Kyou was on the Roof of the house, an open book to his side and sunbathing. Shigure was in his study, typing the last 600 Pages or so for his book due to be picked up by his editor on Monday Afternoon. And Honda Tohru, the only non- Souma in this house was doing the Housework, Doing the Laundry, Washing Dishes, Cleaning the Rooms and Preparing for dinner.
As was said, a Normal day.
Yuki sat up from his work and looked up into the sky, the Sun was beginning to set and the Blue Sky was slowly but surely turning Orange. Orange, his most detested colour. That new year, Hatori, the dragon had danced, not for his first time and the dragon did it without any failures. They had convinced Tohru to celebrate with her friends instead of staying at home alone. Akito, the Souma Clan Head had demanded Kyou, Yuki and Shigure's presence for that banquet. They had to attend or face Akito's Wrath. Something that even Tohru would not have been able to avoid. Yuki got up and after seeing his garden was all right, and orderly, he brushed the dirt aside from his clothes and picked up his basket of loot from his garden. Then, he bade his sanctuary good night. Little did he know that that day would be the last time he set eye on his garden again.
The path back to Shigure's House was not long, only about ten minutes walk. By that time, the sky had definitely turned Orange. Why did it have to be the same with that Stupid Cat? Annoyance swept through the normally composed Rat and soon he was calm again. At least Honda-san would like the Loot he had for her.Yuki looked up into the sky again only to catch something he never wished would occur. On the Roof, Kyou and Tohru were talking, Normal enough was the first thought, then something caught his eye. They were both flushed red; so red he was sure that it did not belong to the sky colour. Why were they all red? Then he noticed where their hands were and the positions definitely did not correspond with normal friendship. They were in love and it was reciprocated. Yuki calmed down and told himself not to jump to conclusions. He will have to observe them more before he could be certain of this new series of events. Wait, and Observe. Calm and Collected, That was the Mouse. That was Yuki.
When Shigure came out of his Study, with 400 Pages done, he nearly bumped into Kyou and Tohru who had come down stairs in quite a hurry. They were both blushing a series of degrees redder than normal. Shigure could guess ten different versions on what had happened. But like the Mouse, the Dog was also collected and very observant, the dog was very good at living the life away as well. So he also decided to wait. Reporting to anyone was not an easy matter when it did not involver yourself and Shigure new this. For his ten possible episodes, none of them would sit well with Yuki or Akito. And Yuki had the right to know first. Being closer to the incident than the clan head. Shigure wondered if Yuki knew what was going on.probably not.
The doors opened just as his musings ended and Yuki came back from his Secret Base, a basket of vegetables in the mouse's hand.
"Oh! Yuki-kun! Did you bring us some Veggies back?"
Did the Dog ever stop with his singsong voices? Was all Yuki and Kyou could think as the Cat and Dog both converged on Yuki. Both were there to check the loot, One was to make sure that there were no Vegetables that were not fit for 'Human' Consumption, the other one to check if there were such Vegetables that the Former considered Inedible.
"Sorry Shigure, not your day, Baka Neko as well, not your day. I couldn't harvest 'them' at this time of year without 'them' being ripe."
The cat's face lightened up and the Dogs darkened. No teasing from this source today. Kyou was now in a very good mood and the Rat and Dog both noticed this at once. Questioning Faces now converged on the Cat. Kyou turned around to see this new series of interrogation and sweat drops began to form on his forehead.
"What?"
Shigure broke the silence and Yuki's searching gaze ensured Kyou did not break loose and run off.
"What has happened to Kyou today? He is in a very good mood."
"Nothing happened today!" The cat barked in hopes of deterring their offensive.
But nothing could sway both of them. After all, Yuki had seen them and Shigure had figured it out already. Resigning into the pressure, the cat finally decided to make this official, and to make it most enjoyable for himself.
"I won against Yuki."
Shigure's face formed a quizzical look, but Yuki knew what the Cat meant. He lowered his gaze in resignation and defeat. The Roof scene was all clear to the Intelligent, but defeated Mouse.
He had lost Honda Tohru to the Cat.
