Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket. Nuh-uh, not possible. Besides, the creatora probably doesn't even write English.

Bird: I got bored, so I took a couple characters from Fruits Basket and turned it into a weird RPG-like story. Kind of. Almost.

-----------------

Yuki and Kyo were roaming the mountains. Not only were they exceptionally angry and cranky, but they hadn't had a roof over their heads in days. Only stale traveler's food kept them going. The two being brothers, it was bad enough having lived their entire childhood together; now fate was making them share the same adventure together. An adventure to come…

"Goddamn you, Yuki! We're lost in this sad deserted place of a mountain. How the hell can you LIVE like this? It's all your freaking fault!" yelled Kyo. Yuki gave a contemptuous scowl, but didn't say anything.

A rustle. Both of the fed-up brothers forgot, temporarily, their bickering and turned to the sound. Perhaps it was just the wind, or a prairie dog (uhh… in the mountains?). But their near-animal instinct was tingling. Cautiously, Kyo pulled out his broadsword while Yuki pulled out a shiny dagger for each hand. A deformed, clawed food emerged first. Then suddenly, giant wings started buzzing, as though someone had turned on a chainsaw. A giant bug shot at them, and another one followed it. OH NO! IT WAS… A QUIGGLFLY!

Without hesitation, Yuki sliced his dagger at the bug while Kyo hacked into the second one. Not enough, unfortunately. Now the bugs had a turn to attack back. They knocked recklessly onto the two teens. Seeing that it was only a nasty bruise, the warriors cut again into their foes.

Kyo checked the lifeless bodies of the bugs and noticed something shiny.

"What the hell is a nasty bug doing carrying money?" Kyo said curiously.

"Well, we'll need it. We're dead broke, and look over there!" Yuki cried wondrously. Kyo turned to see what Yuki was staring at with big googly eyes. A vision of a beautiful naked lady, perhaps? No, that didn't seem likely. Yuki was too prissy for that. Something Shigure would probably do instead. What was the reason to be so excited anyways? He looked and realized… IT WAS A TOWN! A TOWN! Both broke out running for the sweet, sweet village on the horizon.

Bird: I was considering doing the story something like, "Yuki slashed and did eighty-four damage! But oh no! The quigglfly had eighteen HP left! Cheesy victory music Yuki and Kyo have defeated the monsters! ding They have acquired 2 quigglwing!" Oh boy that would be fun.

To be continued… Thanks for reading!

Bird: So… Kyo… how do you enjoy Yuki being your brother instead of your cursed rat friend?

Kyo: What the hell? What cursed rat friend? AND FOR THE LOVE OF PETE HE'S NOT MY FRIEND!

Bird: Hmm… not good enough to see if you really remember your… ALTERNATE SELF!

Kyo: What the--? Cut the crud!

Bird: Shigure! Dog!

Kyo: He sure is that perverted cousin of mine.

Bird: Uh… maybe not a very good example of your… ALTERNATE LIFE!

Kyo: Okay, lady, I think you have some issues here…

Bird: A curse that turns you into a cat when you are hugged!

Kyo: This is ridiculous. Did Kagura put you up to it?

Bird: Well… it seems that it has been declared final that… KYO KNOWS NOTHING OF HIS ALTERNATE SELF! Boy he must be dumb.
