Title: Cursed For The Cure

Disclaimer: I own a coffee mug, I own hot chocolate, but I don't own Fruits Basket or the characters in it.

Words I have to say: Jello, Zebra, horoscope and kitten. Oops, I'm sorry, I'll be taking Jello back for some other time, thank you.

A young girl stood at the door of Shigure's home. She wore a simple black dress with a red ribbon which tied in the back and her long black hair tied into pig tails by two more red ribbons leaving some of her bangs on the sides of her face. She looked to be about fourteen. A few suit cases stood beside her and she looked like she had been standing there for a few moment hesitating to knock as if she were nervous. Her black high healed boots were making her feet sore and soon she knocked on the door which would change her life forever…

(Mean while)

Everyone heard a knock at the door and instinctively Tohru perked up from what she was doing, washing the dishes, and went to answer it. A strange girl stood in the door way and when she spoke her voice was soft and gentle just the way Kagura's was when she first met her.

"Hello? Are you Tohru?"

"Yes…yes I am." Tohru looked even more confused now as she wondered what the girl could have wanted if she came all the way out here just to see her.

The young girl smiled gently up at her and continued on talking.

"Well, my name is Mana and…and you're my sister. Well…my half sister anyways…and I came here to see if I could live with you."

Tohru looked shocked at the new information. She didn't know what to do.

"Well, come in and we'll see what we can do."

(Ten minutes later)

Every one including Mana sat at the table. Shigure was seen discussing Mana's situation with Tohru, Yuki sat eating and listened to them intently while something else was happening. Mana ate quickly and quietly, but she was also constantly staring at Kyou. Kyou had noticed her staring at him as they both finished dinner and now that he didn't have food in his mouth he was going to say something because she was still staring at him.

"What are you looking at?" The irritation was obvious in his voice.

"Me? I'm looking at you." She just sat there smiling at him and continued staring.

"Why are you staring at me? Why not someone else?"

"I…I don't know…it's just…." Mana looked down into her lap nervously as if she were nervous about something.

"It's settled then! Mana Honda will stay with us!"

She looked up in surprise as if she expected something completely different from his answer.

"Really? You'll let me stay?" She smiled cheerfully as Shigure nodded.

Kyou looked beside him to find her sitting beside him now and staring right at him three inches from his face.

"WHAT THE HELL!!" He screamed only causing her to back away ever so slightly.

Yuki came up and picked her up away from Kyou and sat beside her. She looked up at Yuki and smiled some before she continued on staring at Kyou who only got up aggravated and broke the door on the way out.

"Little Miss Honda? Why were you staring at him?"

She perked up and looked over to Yuki.

"I'm not sure…" She looked to see Shigure and Tohru were no where in sight. "But…I only stare because I feel a connection."

"What kind, may I ask?" Yuki had a look of genuine concern on his face now that he had mostly shown only for Tohru.

"Well, Ever since I was small I remember I had a deep connection with cats…and I feel the same thing with him. Is that strange?"

"No, not at all. I'm sure it's normal." Yuki had lied. This was not normal. Kyou was cursed by the cat and she was sensing it without even realizing it. How could this be?

Yuki looked as she fiddled with the ends of her long sleeves. This girl was not a normal teenager. She was different in some way, but what was it with her? He didn't know, but he would soon find out. Tohru came back and started to clean off the table and then Mana started to help her out. She followed her into the kitchen and cleaning noises could be heard in the background. Yuki got up going to his room to finish the rest of his homework. He would find out more about Miss Honda's sister later.

(Meanwhile)

The steam floated silently in the air as a red haired boy sat in the bath tub silently pondering the days events. Normally he would not be so relaxed, but this was his everyday time when he wound down. Not many people knew that he could be calm and mellow. It was because life with his family and even with Tohru was always so aggravating for him that he always seemed annoyed and upset. He just wanted to escape it all…but, he couldn't. Shigure was right when he said one thing. He DID have a white belt in social skills. A black cat came into the bathroom and sat on the edge on the bath tub staring at him. Kyou just smiled and rubbed it behind the head. It purred softly now as if not minding that it's fur was slightly wet now. Kyou looked as it stared at him unblinkingly and just ignored it since it was only another cat being attracted towards his zodiac. He soon got out of the tub and soon the cat left as he dried himself off.

He went downstairs and found Mana playing video games. She turned and smiled at him.

"Hey Kyou, I bet I can whip you at this game!"

"Oh yeah?! Bring it on!" He yelled as all the calmness drained from him and was soon replaced with pure adrenaline. They played and played for a hour and so far it had been a tie. Yuki came down and saw them playing and smirked down at the two.

"Hey, what are you guys playing?"

"We're playing Inuyasha, I'm winning."

"NO YOUR NOT!" Shouted an aggravated Kyou. We are tied.

Yuki laughed. "That's still the same as loosing Kyou."

Yuki sat beside Mana as Tohru called Kyou into the kitchen just for a moment. Yuki got out a spare controller and the two of them quietly laughed, smiling at each other cheerfully, as they set a trap for the unknowing neko.

Kyou got back and picked his controller up and they started to play again accept this time Mana was winning. Kyou lost at least twenty games before he looked over and noticed something. Mana's controller was not plugged in and in it's place was another plug which lead to Yuki, who held a game controller.

"Why, you DAMN STINKING RAT!!! Were you playing the whole time?"

Yuki nodded and did a secret handshake routine with Mana making the carrot top even angrier then he was before as he stomped away. Shigure heard the noise and came in as the secret hand shake was complete and sighed knowing something happened just then that he had totally missed. Wait though, he remembered just then that Tohru was taking a bath just then. Maybe he could see if his new "Invention" worked.

Mana smiled over to Yuki now as a curious look came over her face.

"Hey Yuki? Has Kyou always gotten angry at you like that?"

"Yes, yes! We've always been at each other's throats."

"I bet he hates leeks too huh?"

"Did Miss Honda tell you that?"

"Nope, it's a gut instinct. Cats hate things that have the toxins that leeks have in them. It's the smell, you know."

"But, Kyou isn't a cat." Yuki blinked staring at her as he told her a flat out lie.

"Yes Yuki, but…he just seems like one to me. I can usually tell which zodiac animal is most like that person just by looking at them." She got up and looked down at Yuki now who seemed to tense at the word "zodiac" just a bit.

"You for instants, I can tell you are the year of the rat. Am I right?"

"Yes, but how did you know?"

"Your intelligent and calm voiced all the time. Strangely…you have grey hair. Don't tell me that's natural is it?"

Yuki nodded and she smiled cheerfully.

"Nope! Never ever wrong!" She saw Yuki getting up and continued on with something she'd been thinking to say. "Hey…umm…Hey Yuki?"

"Yes? What is it Little Miss Honda?"

"Well I was wondering…if we could go see a movie some time."

'Wow, she doesn't seem to waste her time like Tohru does. Actually, she's nothing like her at all. I better stay on my Guard.' Yuki thought to himself before agreeing to the date he'd be having. "Sure, when would you like to go?"

"Maybe…Saturday at 6 P.M.?" Ok, now it definitely was a date. "Is that day good for you ?"

(Meanwhile)

Kyou spied on them as he watched Yuki blush as they agreed on a date at the movies. He was surprised Yuki agreed to it. It was unlike him to agree to dating a girl. He snuck back up to his room to watch a special "Teacher's Pet" DVD that he just bought. (Btw, Teacher's Pet is a hentai as well as a crappy Disney show.) He opened his door though to find Tohru was putting some of his laundry away. She was happily carrying the empty laundry basket out of the room when she saw him in time to stop from bumping into him.

"Oh, Hi Kyou. Where've you been? I heard Yuki and Mana played a trick on you. Are you alright?" Tohru really did look concerned. She was such a sweet heart at times.

Kyou scowled away from her at a general direction where they might have been at.

"Yes, and if that isn't enough they are going on a date! DAMN HE BEAT ME AND HE'S THE FIRST TO HAVE A DATE! IT'S NOT FAIR!"

Tohru's eyes widened. "Yuki and Mana are dating?"

Kyou's eyes filled with regret. Somehow he knew that he had said something wrong as always.

To be continued…

Please Tell me what you thought of this. If I get at least one review then I will keep on moving with this
