About Story: I think this story will only have 2 or 3 chapters...I'm not really sure yet. Um, don't take it to offence that Haru forgets his own birthday in this fic- I just think the story will turn out better that way so, no, I'm not calling him an idiot...

Dedication: This is dedicated to my best friend for her 15th birthday! She's so young it's pathetic...heh, just kidding! Anyways, Happy Birthday kiddo! I hope you like your birthday fic! P. S I'm sorry I'm too broke to get you a real gift...

Disclaimer: I own Shigure, not Fruits Basket.

Shigure: Um... I don't think that's-

Oh fine!

(New and Improved) Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket but I think I own Shigure. Cause he's- (nose bleed) Smexy! Anyways, enough of reading me talk- read the story and enjoy people!

"Oh look Momiji-kun! Isn't this pencil cute?" Tohru asked. She showed the blond boy the pencil. The main whole of it was white, but it had black splotches all around it. In place of an eraser was a little white cow.

"Yeah it is," Momiji agreed enthusiastically. He took the pencil from Tohru's hand and upon further examination, his eyes widened. "Wow! It reminds you of Haru, doesn't it? I bet he'd love this pencil, don't you think Tohru?"

"I think he would too," Tohru agreed. They had decided to go shopping together right after school so that Tohru could get her groceries and Momiji- well, he just really wanted to tag along.

"Maybe he would like it for his birthday!" Momiji said. He threw the pencil up in the air and caught it when it came back down.

"His birthday?" Tohru asked, tilting her head to the side a bit. That's when it occurred to her that she really didn't know when Haru's birthday was.

"That's right! Haru's birthday is in two days. Didn't you know Tohru?"

Immediately, Tohru began to panic. "N-no! I haven't even gotten him a present and I spent most of my money already! What am I going to do? I can't talk to Hatsuharu-san and not have something for him on his birthday; I'd feel horrible!"

"Don't worry Tohru," Momiji yelled over the girl's shrieking voice. "Haru's birthday isn't for two whole days! You can get him something by then, right? Oh, I know! I'll help you Tohru! How about that? Let's get Haru a present together, okay?"

Tohru was finally able to calm down and nod. If they weren't in public, Tohru would've hugged Momiji for sure. "Yes...okay...let's do our best!" The girl in the sailor suit cheered, pumping her fist into the air.

"Yeah!" Momiji yelled, repeating the process with his own fist.

Sohma Hatsuharu sighed and sat on a bench. He looked up at the clear blue sky and watched some birds swarm in and out of the clouds. "Why do birds get to fly?" He asked no one in particular, because well, he was alone. The relaxed boy took a sip from his can of Coke and made a content sighing sound afterwards.

"Oh...because they have wings," he concluded with a small smile. It was fun amusing himself when no one else was around to do it. 'Oh yeah...' he thought and pulled out a small pocket calendar from his pocket. He sat his drink onto the grass and flipped the booklet open. His gray eyes scanned the months until he came across something he wasn't expecting to come across.

"Birthday?"

He blinked in mild confusion then looked at the book again. Written in his very own handwriting on the date two days from now...was the word Birthday. But, whose birthday was it? He looked up at the sky as if it had an answer for him. No such luck. Haru couldn't remember which one of his friends would have a birthday two days from that exact day.

Suddenly, he was on his feet. His foot hit something, but he ignored it and started to pace around the bench. Birthday...birthday...Yuki's birthday? No. He would remember something as special as that. Tohru's? No. Mayhem would probably ensue on a birthday as special as Tohru's...

He stared down at his little book. Suddenly, it was crushed in his fist. "Why the hell didn't I write down whose birthday it was?!" He slammed the little calendar onto the ground and stared at it. He sighed and shrugged. It was no use getting angry. He'd just ask Momiji or someone later. After all...Momiji would surely know.

So he turned around to get his can- only to find it spilling the contents into the grass. His eye twitched in annoyance.

That was the third one that day.

Back at Shigure's house, a small group had gathered. Momiji waved his hand in the air frantically as if he was in school waiting to be called on by the teacher.

Apparently, Shigure was indeed the teacher because the man pointed at Momiji and said, "Yes, Momiji?"

"How about we have a party for Haru? He loves to par-tay!"

"A party, eh?" Shigure said. He put a finger to his chin, tapped it, then nodded in agreement. "I think a party would be nice."

'And I'm sure someone will invite high school girls...'

"What are you smirking for you dirty dog?" Kyo asked. He sat down at the table with the rest of the people and looked around with his blood red eyes. "Why is Momiji here anyways?"

"Oh! That's because we're trying to figure out what to do for Haru for his birthday," Tohru explained.

Kyo grunted; he had never gotten a party thrown for him, so why should that dam ox? Plus...the party was being thrown by Tohru.

"I don't think we should tell him we're having a party," Yuki suggested.

"A surprise party!" Momiji gasped. His bunny ears popped out of his head as he twirled around. "That'll be so much fun!"

Kyo rolled his eyes and banged his head against the table. This wasn't going to be fun at all...

The Next Day

Haru opened his locker and reached in to pull out his book. When a envelope fell out he reached down to pick it up. He looked around from side to side in a way that shouted "I'm suspicious" then looked back down at the envelope. It was sealed shut and on the front it said To Sohma Hatsuharu.

"What? No stamp," Haru asked as he tore the envelope open and pulled out a white sheet of paper. The first thing he noticed was that the paper wasn't notebook or loose-leaf paper. It was computer paper and had computer typed words on it.

It read:

Dear Sohma-kun,

We are inviting you to something special- something you could never imagine! We would appreciate it if you would join us in merry making. We drew a map for you; please follow the directions tomorrow right after school.

From,

Anonymous

Haru peered inside the envelope and pulled out another paper. Indeed, there was a map- a crudely drawn one at that. He was tempted to ball it up and throw it away, but something told him not to. He sighed and stuffed the map and the note back into the envelope. Then he stuffed it into his jacket pocket.

He wondered what the 'something special' could be. If it was something he 'could never imagine' then why didn't this 'anonymous' just take him there without the silly uses of a map? And more importantly- what was the special something?!

The confused boy slammed his locker shut and ran into the hallway. Haru needed some explanations and he was going to get them!

"Momiji," he called, trotting up to the blond boy. He pulled the envelope from his pocket and handed it to his cousin. "Did you get one of those?"

Momiji scanned over the note and the map then replied cheerfully, "Nope! But the map is drawn really good!"

"Oh," Haru said. He took his stuff back and ran his hand through his hair tiredly. The bell rang and Momiji jumped a bit.

"We better get to class," he said. Haru shuffled after him.

After classes, Haru sat beneath a tree that provided a good amount of shade. He stared at the map and tried to decipher the little notes and stick figures that were all jumbled together. And Momiji had had the nerve to say that the drawing was good...

"Hello Hatsuharu-san!"

Haru looked up at the cheery face of the Honda. Her hair swayed behind her with the wind. "How are you today?"

"Fine," he replied. He looked around, "Yuki isn't with you?"

"Oh no, he's with the Student Council," she said. She looked Haru up and down.

"Looking for something?" Haru asked.

"N-no!" Tohru blushed and waved her hands defensively. 'Just...Where is it...?'

"I found this in my locker earlier," Haru said. He pulled out the note and showed Tohru. After reading it Tohru got a big smile on her face.

"This is great Hatsuharu-san! Someone invited you to something special!"

"So you think I should go," he asked.

"Of course!" Tohru said. "If you don't go, I'm sure those people will be sad."

Haru nodded and rested against the tree.

"Well, goodbye," Tohru said with a small wave and turned to take her leave. Mission accomplished...Haru had gotten the package.

A/N: Okay...that was shorter than I expected it to be but hey, first chapters are hard! Besides that, this gets the point across. I hope you enjoyed!

It's someone's birthday every day...so Happy Birthday to Lexi-chan and for anyone else!
