I don't own Fruits Basket, not the manga or the anime. I got the idea for this story after I reread the whole manga series a couple days ago.

I hope you like it!

Dear Kisa,

I'm sorry I left, I didn't want to, but I'm in the army... I had no choice. I'm sorry I didn't tell you that I was leaving until the day I left. I could see the pain in your eyes that day. I'm sorry its been a week since I've left and this is the first time I'm writing you a letter, telling you I'm okay, and you don't need to worry. And most of all, I'm sorry that I left you two days after our darling daughter and son were born. Be sure to tell them both I love them so much and I miss them and you, and try your best to stay strong for the time I'm gone.

Love,

Hiro

It'd be impossible to tell you how many times I had read that after Hiro died, I didn't even have time to write back before that tragic day. It had been three years since the day he had left this world. I still remember the funeral, how many people had came up to me and told me they were sorry, how I cried every night since, and how he would never be back to see how his amazing children had grown so much.

I sat curled up on the couch, watching our children Shika and Kiyru play on the floor quietly. I blinked back tears, if only Hiro was here to see them, he'd be so happy by how smaart and beautiful they had turned out. Shika looked at me with a sad look, "Mommy? Are you alright?" she asked me in a gentle voice that made me want to cry even more.

"Shika I'm-" the doorbell rang, interrupting me. I got up and brushed myself off, "I'm fine baby girl, don't worry." I left her and Kiyru behind as I made my way to the door. I took a couple deep breaths before I opened the door, revealing a cold and wet Momiji standing in front of me. "Momiji are you okay?" I asked in a worried voice.

"Y-yes I'm okay, may I come in please?" he asked in a scared and shaky voice, very unlike him.

"Of course, do you need a blanket?" I asked him, my worried look not going away.

"Yes please." he replied, making his way over to sit on the couch slowly.

I handed him a blanket, watching him wrap it around himself tightly. Shika and Kiyru looked at him oddly. "Kids, I think you two should head to bed, I'll be there in a couple minutes just go lay down." They nodded at me and ran away to their rooms, looking back for a second before completly disappearing into their rooms. I turned back to Momiji, "So are you going to tell me what happened?" I asked softly.

He nodded, taking a shaky voice. "My father kicked me out of the guest house I was living in." I didn't even have to ask why before he continued, "Mother came far to close to finding out who I truly was, and father made me leave immediately."

"How could he?" I asked, my eyes wide, "You aren't even part of the zodiac anymore! Where does he expect you to go anyway, you've had far to hard of a life to get your own apartment!"

"Kisa please calm down. That's what I'm here for, I know it's a big favor to ask but would it be okay if I lived with you? I wont be to big of a bother and I'll help you take care of Shika and Kiyru to. I pro-"

"Momiji of course you can, I'd love to have you here, it's no problem." I told him with a smile.

He seemed a little surprised but he smiled, "Thank you Kisa, you wont regret it. I promise."

"I'm sure I wont."

So that's the first chapter, hope you enjoyed it!
