Title: Always and Never

Rating: T

Pairings: Evantually Momiji/Kagura/Haru triangle, onesided OC/Kagura, and many others

Warning: There will be some OOC but the reason is because they have matured under some messed up circumstances, so it affected them. They'll still act like they do in the manga, some characters more so then others. Also May be spoilers later past Volume 15, only little ones but still.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket.

A/N: Hello there, this is my first Fruits Basket fan fiction, so I apologize if there are some mistakes in spelling and grammar. This is also my first fan fiction posted on this account so I hope you all enjoy this story. I got this idea from a bunch of songs I listened to and Breakfast at Tiffany's so it'll have little bits and pieces from them all. So with out further ado, let's get to the story

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

The cold winter wind smashed into Kagura's face as she walked down the street, dragging two huge green suit cases behind her and a had a huge gym bag slung over her shoulder.

'Damn, its cold out!' she cursed in her head. She wasn't exactly dressed in her warmest clothing. She had opted for her tie-dye summer dress with leggings underneath, with only her green fuzzy socks and black trench coat for warmth.

She was going at an alarmingly fast rate that was frightening others walking one that street. The fact that she almost crashed in to 11 people wasn't making feel people any better.

Not that she noticed. She was to busy trying to get as far away from her now ex-boyfriend, as she possibly could.

She has as of 5 minutes ago officially moved out of his place, and was on her way to the air port. She would have taken a cab, but the streets were jammed. Then again, what was she expecting? This was New York City. NYC and traffic had seemed to go hand in hand. She decided it would be faster to walk toward the airport until there was no sign of traffic.

'Why did I move out like that? Why couldn't I even tell him to his face that I was going back to Japan?' she thought as she almost slammed into a buggy with a very young child in it.

She considered going back for a moment but quickly shook that thought off. 'No, there's no going back now! I have to go back to Japan! I know I'm just running away from my problems, I'll face then after I face the first ones I ran away from. Besides, I have to meet her there!'

Kagura thought back to earlier in the day, when she had decided to go back to Japan. She found it funny that all it took was a wedding invitation to convince her she to go back to Tokyo.

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

1 hours and 20 minutes ago

Kagura had gone done stairs to the ground floor of the apartment complex that her and David lived in, to get the mail out of their mail box. She took her mail key out of her pocket and opened the box to find an elegant looking envelope. She reached inside the mail box to pull the letter out to find it addressed to her. Her eyes widened with shock as looked at the letter

It wasn't the fact that she had received a letter, but it was the return address that shocked her. It was sent from Japan, and as far as she knew there weren't many people that knew where the hell she was. She quivered as she her fumbling fingers practically ripped the envelope apart.

Kagura SOHMA,

Damn! You sure make it a pain to hunt your ass down!

She rolled her eyes. She only had to read that line to know it was Rin. She wasn't surprised she had tracked her address down. After all, she and Rin had been close and both had a sense where the other was at all times. It was something like identical twins had, but not as strong. That's as clear as it can be made; it's one of those things you have to experience to fully understand(1). With that though a side she got back to reading the letter

I must say changing your last name to Henderson was quite clever, but I see you had forgotten that there aren't many Kaguras in New York City. Besides, you had told me a while ago you had always wanted to go to NYC.

Okay, I didn't just right you to rub finding you in your face. I wrote you to tell you that Kyo and Tohru are getting married and I happen to know for a fact that Tohru wants you there. For some odd reason they all miss you. I can't see why though, you're a troublesome bitch!

Now when I say they all miss you, I'm including the two guys whose hearts you trampled on when you disappeared without a trace.

Kagura glared at the letter. 'Like she's any better!' she thought angrily, 'She ran off and broke Haru's heart after she led him on! And she thinks she can criticize me?'

Now I know you're probably saying to yourself "Who the hell does she is to judge me?" Well I may have done what I did, but I at least told him in person! You mailed them both letters 2 months after you had run off! I also may add you trampled on two times as many guys' hearts as I did. Any way I'll get to the point.

I sent this letter so you'd get on the exact date I intended to be in NYC. Now, you'll pack everything you want to bring to Japan, and knowing you you'll only bring cloths and leave all your big stuff to whomever you're living with right now. You'll be at JFK(2) before 4 PM. I will have purchased you and I, a first class each to Japan. If you aren't there before 4, I'll be coming to your apartment. If that has to happen I will be dragging your ass back to Japan.

This is for your own good! I had to come face to face with my problems, now you're going to stop running and face the cause of your messed up life. Trust me; it's the best thing for you to do.

You better be there whore.

-Rin

'Classy Rin,' she thought bitterly as she read the last sentence of the letter.

She made the trek up the stairs, from the main to the fourth floor. When she got to her apartment she opened the door to her very spacious flat. Most people would say it was nice, but she hated it. Her style made her feel out of place in the typically decorated space. Everything seemed to be white, brown, and the odd slash of black. It was way too conservative for her tastes.

Kagura like colour and she liked constant change with her surroundings. That's why she never stayed in the same place for longing then a few months. She was deathly afraid of commitment and deathly afraid of her life becoming extremely boring for her.

She had already made her mind that she was leaving David within the next month. She had been thinking of going to Brazil next. She had never been there before and after reading books and watching movies about the exotic country, she longed to go.

Now David was probably what most women would consider the perfect man. He had a good job, good manners, good humour, good looks, and to top it off a charming personality. But he was too perfect, especially to an imperfect girl like Kagura. The only reason she had began a relationship with him was, well out of gratitude. He had been a very good friend when she had first arrived to New York, and she felt as though she had to be with him at the time.

Kagura thought back to the letter. 'Screw Rin!' she exclaimed in her head as she crumbled up the letter and threw in the trash bin in the kitchen, 'Like I'd ever go back to that… place!'. She walked to her room and took out her two biggest suit cases and placed them on her bed. She walked over to her walk in closet and began to through every article of clothing and every accessory into the suit cases. 'I'll just go to Brazil like I planned. If I run into Rin I'll just knock her out like I use too!'

She took an unused gym bag from her closet and went into her connected bathroom. When she got in there she threw all of her bathroom supplies into the bag. She left all of David's things alone. She wasn't that cruel!

She went back to her bedroom and cleaned out her jewellery cabinet. As she threw then into her purse she picked up as a necklace that made her stop. Tears came to her eyes uncontrollably; it wasn't much of a necklace, but the meaning behind it brought her back memories she couldn't handle right now.

'Stop thinking about him!' she scolded herself as the tears smeared her make up, 'You left him! It wasn't the other way around!' she calmed her self by controlling her breathing. Then an unwanted question popped into her 'Why do I still regret leaving that place?'

Within an instance Rin's words in the letter began to make sense. She didn't want to admit it but she was right. Every since she left Japan, she had led a life of constant change, constantly running away from her dilemmas which became greater in number the more places she went.

"It's decided then." She announced with a sigh, "I'm going home." And she could help but smile at the thought of going back to Japan. Yes she was scared, but it would be nice to go back, it also gave her an excuse to leave New York.

After she had finished packing, she called her bank to have all of her money transferred to her still existing Sohma bank account(3). When she hung up the phone she brought all of her bags to the entrance and quickly wrote a note to David that read:

David,

By the time you read this tomorrow morning I will be far away from you. I thought it would be easier to write to you then to call you or tell you in person. You won't be able to contact me and I wouldn't suggest trying. You may be asking yourself why I left. Well, I simply don't love you any more then a friend. I thank you for all you've done for me and I hope you have a good life.

-Kagura

She folder the note and put in and envelope and left the flat for good. Once she had brought all of her bags down to the main lobby she put her keys in the envelope. She left them at the front counter and asked the landlord to give the keys to David when he arrived back from his business trip.

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

Kagura still couldn't believe she was actually going through with this, but Kagura wasn't one to usually change her mind. She was still as stubborn as she ever was. She was still walking at the same pace. She was going to get to that air port in her Prada shoes even if it killed her! Okay well maybe not to that extreme but pretty damn close!

'Damnit! I love these shoes, but whoever said that you could walk long distances in stilettos should be shot!' she thought bitterly to herself. Fate must have been on her side, because not long after did the traffic let up and there seemed to be a bunch of available taxis.

Kagura stopped herself from squealing with joy. "Taxi!" she exclaimed ahs she waved both arms in the air like a mad women. Within a few seconds a taxi had stopped and she was putting her stuff in the trunk.

"Where you headin'?" inquired the driver as Kagura closed the taxi door.

"JFK air port as quickly as you can!" she announced some what out of breath, thanks to all the walking. During the drive she couldn't help but wonder if Rin would even recognize her, or if she'd recognize Rin. 'She'll probably find me before I find her; she always had a knack of doing that.' She offered herself.

The drive had seemed to go by in a flash, and before she knew it she had arrived at the air port. She put all of her luggage on a cart with some help of the taxi driver. Before he left, Kagura gave the driver a 5 dollar tip and thanked him for his services. He had after all gotten her here faster then she could have hoped for.

As she approached the entrance she took a deep breath "No time to waste!" Kagura assured herself aloud. She exhaled and pushed her cart through the doors. "See? That was a piece of cake!" she muttered

"So, you're still talkin' to yourself?" Sounded a cocky voice from behind her. She already knew who it was. Rin's voice still sounded the same.

Kagura turned around to see Rin that was now about a foot taller then her. She was wearing a some what revealing blood red long-sleeved top, a pair of fitted jeans, and a pair of Gucci boots. "I see you're still dressing like a whore!" She teased with a smirk.

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

A/N: I hoped you at least some what liked it! Please R&R, I'll except advise but not out right put downs please.

1. A lot of identical twins have a special bond between one another, in this story Rin and Kagura are like that but to a lesser degree. They've grown up together in the manga so I thought they would be close

2. JFK is one of two (there many be more since I've been there lol) air ports in New York City. I know not everyone lives in the states so I thought I'd explain that lol

3. In the manga and show, Shigure explained that everyone of the Zodiac had a bank account. In this story even though the curse has been broken the accounts still exist, and it's the only bank account Kagura has never been able to cancal.

Well until next time!
