Disclaimer: Don't own Fruits Basket. Also, some sort of shameless homage to Cassie Claire's Very Secret Diaries, only, obviously, a Fruits Basket variation. Also, follows the anime rather than the manga, although doubtless this will diverge elsewhere entirely off canon to encompass my little Shigure/Tohru shipping.

Shigure's Very Secret Diaries

Is 'diaries' suitably a manful and sexy word to describe what I'm doing here?

Shigure's Very Secret Journals

Hm. But now 'journals' sound too painfully obvious as a replacement word for 'diaries.'

Shigure's Very Secret Chronicles

Oh, for -

Shigure's Very Secret Diaries

October 19th 2006

7:10 am

Hair looking floppily gorgeous, kimono: sexily dishevelled. Arse in fantastic shape. As always. Mood, good.

Another beautiful day to laze about and pretend to write serious and touching book about humanity. Look so damn good while posing to think with pen held in hand elegantly. Too bad no one is there to admire it apart from myself.

Yuki in bathroom getting ready. He takes longer than a girl. Next morning, I shall time him to see how long exactly he takes.

I shall do some painting. Maybe someone will stumble onto the entrance of our house and see me being sexy with the paintbrush.

…

As in, posing. Not anything kinky with the paintbrush.

…

Am completely serious.

…Will go paint now. And not argue with diary.

7:13 am

Hair, decent. Kimono - still sexily dishevelled. Arse: no need to go on about how it is still delectable. Mood: fantastic!

Oh, God, thank you. Thank you. Thank you sooooooo much.

Must stop writing in diary and actually talk to pretty girl.

7:20 am

Hair, in eyes. Kimono - just dishevelled! Arse: good. Mood: bad. Head: hurting.

Dear God, please smite Yuki. Just give him a zap or two, I swear Akito won't mind. Much.

Knew pretty girl and I were getting on, we were both born in Year of Dog (how's that for destiny, eh? Talk about made for each other) and Yuki chose this precise moment to finish primping and pampering himself, and to come out of the damn bathroom.

Of course, the way he chooses to announce his presence is his book bag launched at my head.

Will have to teach him social manners.

Pretty girl instantly straightened (meaning my view down her top was gone. Still in mourning) and saw Yuki, with his pretty-boy hair and pinkened, and then stuttered out his name in the cutest voice.

Pretty girl - actually called Tohru - lives near here? Where, exactly, I wonder? She was quite vague about the exact location…

Not that I'm wanting to know, because I am not planning a surprise visit there, nor will she be in the shower at that time. Merely am concerned, because if she lives near the forest, it means she has to walk through it every day and that is dangerous.

Not because I will jump her.

Yuki volunteered to walk Tohru to school. I volunteered too, but Yuki just gave me a look that said, "Hands off," and then guided Tohru off. She dimpled prettily at me before she left too…

Grrrrrawwwgh.

Why does damn Yuki get all the luck?

9:00 am

Hair, better. Kimono - plain. Arse: delectable. Mood: blah.

Phoned Hatori.

"Haaaaa-chan~."

"Shigure."

"Haaaaa-chan~."

"Shigure."

"Haaaaa-chan~."

"Shigure, can I help you?"

"Ha-chan…"

"Yes?"

"I'm bored."

Click.

…

It looks like Hatori needs a lesson in social manners too.

Maybe I could organize a class?

10:40 am

Hair, swishy. Kimono - plain. Arse: supple. Mood: smouldering.

Seeing as pretty girl might come back for another visit (what with Wonder Boy and all) I have decided to be more of a sexy bastard then I am normally. If that is possible. Was thinking of a slight change, maybe changing kimono? Maybe with a pattern?

…But that would make me into a girl.

And we already have one in the house.

Maybe I should wear normal clothes?

Normal clothes not as sexy as kimono. Kimono leaves a portion of toned and tanned chest open for admiring, and many would mourn if I donned normal clothes that covered all of said chest.

Maybe I could tweak my hair a little. Yuki has good hair, I shall go and snoop in the bathroom to see how he achieves that gorgeous hair.

11:00 am

Hair, never better! Kimono - plain and manfully beautiful. Arse: cold. Mood: exhilarant!

Yuki uses hair dye!

Have always wondered if that shiny lilac was his natural colour. Have found out it is all due to Garnier 100% colour - and oh, my…

Have just turned packet over, and said product is for covering grey!!!

Will write later, have to go and die of laughter.

Actually, shall get off the edge of the bath because it is cold.

Right, now shall laugh.

…

HAIR DYE!

11:10 am

Hair, beautiful! Kimono - crumpled but not caring. Arse: warmed back up. Mood: amused.

Hmm, Yuki uses a lot of hair products. I never knew it took him that much effort, no wonder he hogs the bathroom for so long.

Mind keeps going back to the hair dye though.

Could it be… since Yuki is a rat and all, that his natural hair colour is grey?

That wouldn't go down well with the ladies, now, would it?

…

Diary, I have a (fiendish) plan.
