A/N Hi! This is the first story that i am basically writing on my own so i hope you enjoy. I want to thank my cousin Riza for helping me spell check and edit the grammar. This is a Fruits Basket fanfic that will have no really bad language or lemon scenes.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket but this story and how it was put together does belong to me.

Two girls were walking down the road. Both of them had giant black gym bags stuffed full. The 'less tall' of the two girls had black shoulder length hair with green highlights and red eyes. She wore black boots, pants, a black t-shirt and a Kyo Sohma sweatshirt. The taller of the two was wearing white worn-out shoes with anime drawings all over them, black pants, and a red shirt. She had black hair down to her mid back with red tips and red eyes.
The taller one spoke first. "Damn San Francisco Library, no good manga."
"Riice you're too picky. Just go online like you usually do."
"But, it's funnier having the book in your hand's when you read it. You don't get that thrill when you read online," Riice stated as if it was a sacred thing that everyone should know.
"Ooookaaay..., we'll you're right they do have a pretty horrible manga section compared to back home."
"Riza, they don't even have Fruits Basket, or Fullmetal Alchemist, or, or Naruto for crying out loud!"
"Just shut up. Let's go home through 'the woods' it's shorter that way."
"Okay whatever. Stupid little cousin," even though this was muttered under Riice's breath Riza still heard it.
"What did you say?"
"I'll race you home!"
Riza and Riice started racing through 'the woods'. Well, they weren't really woods. They were more like streets in the city but Riza and Riice missed the woods. Back in Scotland there were woods where they lived. They missed the woods so they decided to call the area with the most buildings 'the woods'. Riza and Riice had just moved to California 5 years but still missed home.
The ground started to shake.
"Shit an earthquake!" screamed Riice
They tried to get away from the buildings but the ground opened up underneath them and they fell into the earth and passed out
-- 7 days after the earth quake news paper clipping –
The death tolls are in the hundreds after the earthquake that hit downtown San Francisco. The bodies of more people have been found, the most tragic of which remaining those of children. Katara Frederick (15 ), and her younger brother, Garret Frederick (3) were found in their home, while the bodies of Elizabeth McKirdy (14) and her cousin, Riice McKirdy(15) were discovered on the streets. As families continue to mourn, the cleanup attempt...

Shigure Sohma sighed and put down the newspaper, rubbing his eyes.
"There's been another earthquake and a lot of people still missing," he said, stretching, "Why does Japan have to have so many earthquakes? Kyo!"
"What is it?" Kyo said, ticked off as usual.
"Can you go into the forest and make sure no one fell down the cliff during the earthquake?"
"Why do I have to do it?"
"Maybe I'll ask Tohru to make leeks for supper."
"Damn you." Kyo went out into the forest. 'Why the hell am I doing this? This is stupid. It's not like-'
Kyo saw two girls lying in a pile of dirt and rubble. He ran over to them and checked to see if they were even alive. They were still breathing, but unconscious. He ran back to the house.
"Shigure, there are two unconscious girls in the forest."
"High school girls?" he received a nasty glare, "Sorry. Get Yuki-kun to help you out I'll get bandages and call Tori-san. He'll come here faster than any ambulance."
--back to the unconscious girls—
"Un-, Ri-," She looked over to see the other girl.
"There over there!" it was a boy's voice. She saw a boy with orange hair and looked up and saw someone else picking her cousin up. "Are you-," she blacked out.
--5 hours later--
"Un-," the girl was waking up.
"Oi Riice it's about time you got up," said Riza.
"Shut it." Riice winced in pain she had a slight gash in her side
"Don't move," said a man with black hair covering his left eye.
"Holy," Riice fainted.
"She's such a drama queen," said Riza. She had a gash on her leg that Hatori had already stitched.
"Hello," Shigure sang coming into the room. "Would you like to stay the night? Your ... cousin seems to still be sleeping. Would you like to call your parents?"
"Our parents are dead. Um, If it's not too much trouble we would like to stay the night."
"That's okay!"
"I'm home," called a female voice.
"Welcome home Tohru-kun!"
"I knew it!" Riza said under her breath.
"Knew what?" Hatori questioned.
"I'll explain later but for now," she suddenly started giggling.
"What's wrong?" asked Hatori.
She was still laughing, "S-seahorse!" she gasped out, wincing as she accidentally jarred her leg.
Shigure and Hatori looked at her in something similar to shock.
"I promise me and Riice will explain tomorrow. I'm sleepy." Riza lay down, and fell asleep instantly. Shigure and Hatori discussed the situation and figured that it could wait until the morning. Akito would only be informed after they got to the bottom of this.
