Disclaimer: I don't own Fruit Basket… sad truth…

(With Narita)

She set her bags down on the bed. She looked around her motel room which looked dirty and stained. She was already enrolled into the high school; got her uniform and everything, but there was no school today. She stared at the piece paper her grandfather gave her. They were directions to Tohru's house. "Maybe I'll visit Tohru today. I'm sure she wouldn't mind…," she thought.

(At the Sohma household)

Tohru was just finishing the dishes from lunch. Yuki and Kyo where watching TV and Shigure was reading the paper. The doorbell rang twice.

"I'll get it!" exclaimed Tohru.

"That's strange. We weren't expecting visitors…" Shigure said trailing off. Tohru got up to answer the door, which rang another three times, and Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure got up to follow her.

"Narita!" squealed Tohru when she opened the door.

"Tohru!" Narita squealed pulling Tohru in to a big hug. They were bouncing up and down and squealing their heads off.

"Who is she?!" Kyo demanded while twitching.

"That's what I'd like to know…," said Yuki. Tohru and Narita finally stopped bouncing up and down. Tohru put both of her hands in front of Narita, ready to introduce her.

"This is my cousin, Narita Honda!" she exclaimed.

"Hello!" said Narita cheerfully.

"Well that explains why you two look so much alike! Except that Narita has black hair and green eyes instead of brown hair and brown eyes," Shigure pointed out. Yuki and Kyo were just staring at both of them comparing how much the really did look alike. Narita noticed that they were staring at her, and started to fidget.

"Narita was born in the year of the rooster!" exclaimed Tohru. Narita's eyes widened up at this.

"Yes I was, but I'm not selfish and arrogant like the rooster! I might be like the rooster in other ways but in the bad ways I'm more like the cow who can be really stubborn, or the rat who's hot tempered! But I'm not like that all the time, really!" Narita said so fast it sounded like one sentence.

"It's okay Narita, no need to get defensive. I believe you," Shigure reassured.

"More like the tiger: highly emotional," mumbled Kyo.

"Shut up," Yuki mumbled to Kyo, elbowing him in the ribs.

"Well we shouldn't stand out here all day; it looks like it's about to rain. Come on in," Shigure said.

"Oh thank you," Narita said. As she came into the door she tripped over the step. She suddenly bumped into Yuki.

"Oh no!" gasped Tohru.

"Trip, fall, bam!" Narita exclaimed as she fell.

"Crap!" exclaimed Kyo. Narita was sitting on Yuki's clothes.

"What the- where'd he go?!" Narita asked. Then she saw the little white rat with big purple eyes on the ground in front of her. "I turned him into a rat?! How cute!" she exclaimed picking Yuki up and rubbing him against her face.

"You're not freaked out at all?" asked Tohru.

"No! I think it's cute… Do they turn into animals?!" Narita asked pointing to Shigure and Kyo.

"Yes. All of the members of the Sohma family turn into animals when put under a great deal of stress, or if hugged by the opposite sex," Shigure explained. "It's supposed to be a secret…"

"Really!" exclaimed Narita. She got up and ran over to Shigure and Kyo and hugged them both! Shigure turned into the dog and Kyo turned into the cat. Narita picked up Kyo and stared at him.

"I thought the cat wasn't part of the zodiac…," she said.

"I'm not!" said Kyo rudely.

"How sad…," mumbled Narita. Then she started petting Kyo, who unwillingly started to purr. "Good kitty, kitty."

"So Narita, where are you staying?" asked Tohru.

"Oh… I'm staying at the motel a few blocks down from Grandpa's house," Narita said.

"That' not a very good place to stay…," said Shigure who was still in his dog form. Then they all unexpectedly turned back into their human forms. They were all naked, and Narita was still holding Kyo by underneath his arms. She quick let go of him and her and Tohru turned around. Narita blushed a tomato red, and her and Tohru had sweat drops.

"I didn't see anything! I swear!" Narita said.

"Yeah that's the bad part… when they change back they're completely naked!" said Tohru. They boys finally got their clothes back on.

"Um… like I was saying before, that motel is a very dangerous place for a girl your age to be staying at," said Shigure.

"Yeah, but it's the only place I have to stay… I'm defiantly not staying with Grandpa and that crazy family of his…," she said. Tohru looked up at Shigure with pleading eyes. Shigure smiled back and mouthed 'of course'.

"… Narita, why don't you stay with us?" asked Shigure.

"Oh no! I wouldn't want to be a bother!" she exclaimed.

"No you wouldn't be a bother! Not at all! You could help me out around the house, and we could share a room!" pleaded Tohru. Narita looked over at Shigure who was smiling like he was the luckiest man in the world… then she looked at Yuki and Kyo. Yuki had a blank expression, but he also looked confused. Kyo looked like he was very unpleased and like he was about to storm out of the room.

"Would it be okay with them," Narita asked looking over at Yuki and Kyo. Yuki realized that she was talking about them and put on a nice, warm smile. Kyo's look didn't change…

"I think it's a great idea," said Yuki.

"I don't care!" said Kyo rudely. Narita gasped and squealed, "Yay!" Kyo twitched.

"I'll go get my things!" Narita exclaimed.

"I'll come with you!" Tohru exclaimed.

"I'll come too," said Yuki.

"If you guys are going, then I'm sure as heck not gonna stay here," Kyo grumbled.

The four walked down to motel. Yuki and Kyo looked around suspiciously, as if some crazy person would come out of nowhere with a stick and start poking them while talking about chicken monkeys. Narita got out a motel key and unlocked the door. Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo looked around the room. "Ew…," mumbled Kyo. Narita grabbed her one suitcase that she brought.

"Okay I've got every thing!" she exclaimed.

"One suitcase," said Yuki only it sounded like a question.

"Yeah, I didn't really bother to unpack," she said.

"… Narita, why were you planning on staying here? What about your parents?" asked Tohru.

"… Oh. Mom and Dad?… They went on a trip about three months ago… and didn't come back. They were reported dead…," said Narita. Tohru gasped. Yuki and Kyo seemed surprised by this information.

"Why didn't anybody tell me this?" Tohru asked.

"Well I didn't know where you were staying," Narita replied.

"Didn't you send a search team out?" asked Tohru.

"Yes, but they searched for three days and gave up. It was too expensive," she explained. Narita kept her head down so no one could see her start to cry. Tohru felt so bad she busted out crying and pulled Narita in for a hug. Kyo and Yuki stared at them both, and looked like they were about to cry too!

After a few minutes Yuki said, "We should be getting home…"

"Yeah…," agreed Kyo.

"Oh it is getting a bit late," said Narita wiping away tears.

"Yeah, and I need to start dinner," said Tohru looking at the time on the clock.

When they got back home Tohru and Narita started dinner. Of course they all thought it was really good. After dinner they did the dishes and got ready for bead.

The next morning they got up got dressed for school.

"Yuki! Kyo! Are you ready for school?!" Tohru called out.

"Yes we are Tohru," Yuki called back. The boys came down the stairs all ready for school.

"You look very nice in your uniform, Narita," said Yuki. Narita looked down at herself and blushed.

"Thank you," she said.

"Com'on or we'll be late!" said Tohru. Once they got to school Arisa and Hanajima were waiting for Tohru.

"Who's that?" asked Arisa looking at Narita.

"This is my cousin Narita. We were really close when we were little. She's come to live with us!" said Tohru. Arisa shook Narita's hand.

"Nice to meet you. Name's Arisa," said Arisa.

"Nice to meet you too," said Narita.

"My name is Hanajima. You seem to have good waves," said Hanajima.

"Huh? Waves?… I'm not made of water- wait, yes I am… 60 of me is water- do I have waves in me? Oh my gosh I didn't know that!" said Narita. Arisa and Tohru chuckled.

"Narita, she's not talking about water waves," chuckled Yuki. "She means brain waves."

"Yeah, Hanajima's a physic freak and Arisa's a Yankee!" said Kyo smiling. Hanajima and Arisa glared at him.

"Hey! It's not nice to call some one a freak!" said Narita.

"I was just kidding!" shouted Kyo.

"Ya know what I don't believe you, ya orange headed piece of crap!" shouted Narita.

"My, someone has a temper…," mumbled Yuki.

"Who asked you, pretty boy?!" shouted Narita.

"Just calm down Narita," said Tohru looking around at the people who started to stop and watch the argument. "No need to make a scene…"

"I don't wanna calm down! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" shouted Narita.

"I like her!" Arisa exclaimed laughing. Then the bell rang and it was time for class.

"Com'on Narita!" Tohru exclaimed grabbing Narita by the hand and running to get tot their first class. They got into the class just in time. They took their seats, but the teacher stopped Narita.

"I see we have a new student!" said the teacher.

"Yes you do…," said Narita who was still angry.

"Why don't you introduce yourself?" he asked- no- told her.

"Maybe I don't want to…," she said.

"Oh no need to be shy!" he said.

"Twitch, twitch fine…," she mumbled. "My name is Narita Honda. Cousin of Tohru Honda. The End." She walked to her seat while she heard some people whispering about her being Tohru's cousin.

"Well… today we will be learning about measuring angles…," said the teacher who then continued to teach the lesson. Narita raised her hand.

"Yes Miss Honda?" he asked.

"You are going to fast," she said.

"Oh, I'll try to slow down…," he said then to just continue the pace he was at. Narita raised her hand again.

"Yes Narita?" the teacher asked.

"Will you please slow down?!" she demanded.

"I shall try," he said, but then it seemed he started to go faster…

"I SAID SLOW DOWN NOT SPEED UP!" she shouted banging her fist on the table. Everyone stared at her with disbelief.

"Miss Honda-"

"Sir, she's just angry from this morning! Please don't punish her!" said Tohru stepping in.

"Fine. But I don't want to hear another word from her," said the teacher. A few classes past and then it was gym. Tohru, Narita, Yuki, and Kyo had this class together. Narita was in a little bit of a better mood now.

"Narita went off on the teacher this morning," she said to Yuki and Kyo. Kyo started to crack up.

"Did she get in trouble?" asked Yuki.

"No, I got her out of it," said Tohru. They got into the gymnasium and went into the locker rooms to change. They met back together after they all were in their gym clothes. First they ran their laps and then got free time.

"Snap- I need to give the coach my medical form," said Narita.

"Okay," said Tohru and Yuki at the same time, which was kinda weird. Narita handed the coach the medical form and walked back over to the others. She ever so randomly tripped over her own two feet, and scraped her knee on the ground. Her knee started to bleed a little. Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo ran over to her.

"Oh no Narita! You're bleeding!" exclaimed Tohru.

"Ah, it's just a scrape. I'm fine," she reassured.

"What!? You're bleeding!? Band-Aid!" exclaimed Kyo.

"Uh… I'm okay…," Narita repeated. Too late. He ran over to the gym teacher.

"I. Need. A. Band-Aid!" said Kyo who was shaking the gym coach. The gym teacher pulled a band-Aid out of his pocket and gave it to Kyo who ran over to Narita, and put the band-Aid on her knee.

"I said I was okay, but thank you." Narita said.
