The Lost Clan

Disclaimer: I don't own fruits basket.

A/n: Okay peoples. This is my second attempt at a Fruba fanfic. Okay before we get started with the story. It's following the anime instead of the manga where Akito is a guy. This is a joint story once again with my friend.

Akito, Momiji, Hatori, Shigure, Kureno, and Ritsu have OC pairings.

Normal pairings other than those six.

Hope ya'll enjoy!

Once long ago there was a prophecy.

Like all creatures there is Light and Dark inside of them. As an act of defiance one of god's own split the great being into two halves. Throughout the centuries the two halves have always sought each other out to try and become whole once more. Two clans were chosen to house the two cursed halves in hopes that they'd find each other and become whole. But nothing is ever that simple. For Thousands of years the clans have been separated with little hope of gaining their rightful place.

Until Now…

A dark figure stalked through the Sohma manor after they hopped over the wall. Golden eyes glittered darkly as it move through the shadows. Instinct was guiding them to where they needed to go. Her name is Natalya. She was a hunter and assassin by profession, and she'd been called to this residence to take a job. Moving from shadow to shadow was easy for her because of her nature. The scents all around her were odd to say the least. They were almost familiar to her, but she couldn't place why. The entire place was eerily quiet. Not even the animals were stirring. Looking up at the moon she gauged that even the night animals should be stirring but they weren't.

She scented the air like the predator she was. It didn't take her long to find the head of the house's room. She paused at the door as she scented and felt things out. There was something out of place and wrong here but not enough for her to turn her back on a job. His scent was strange to her. It almost attracted her but yet again it was repelling her. It was making the beast inside of her bristle. Shaking it off she slipped into the room to observe her host.

Akito was leaning against his window watching the wind move through the trees and tall grass in the garden. It was a tranquil and peaceful night to say the least. The quarter moon shown down on him casting its reflection in the koi pond. A small sound made him turn his head a bit. He wasn't startled by the figure that was standing there watching him. They were completely swathed in black. Their golden eyes glowed with an inner light making him think of all the horror stories that the old ones would tell of demons disguised as humans. It was almost as if they were sizing him up. A soft growl like sound rumbled in the person's chest. It made him wary right off the bat. His eyes narrowed at the action which spurred the person to kneel in front of him.

"You were the one that called me here?"

"I was," Akito replied.

Their voice sounded gravelly like an animal. Something told him he didn't need to fear this person before him, and yet there was an air about the person that told him that they weren't to be messed with or death would be the opposite end of the bargain. He reached for a folder that was on the desk right beside him and threw it in their direction. The person caught it with ease and without dropping anything. They opened the folder easily. Their glowing eyes dropped to look at the papers.

"I want it done as soon as possible."

The person flipped open the file. It had a single picture of a girl. Glowing eyes narrowed dangerously at the picture then looked up at head of the clan. "You'll get paid once she's dead."

"What did she do to you? Most have a reason to kill someone."

"You're paid to kill her, not ask questions."

"I'll get it done in one week."

"Sooner…"

"I must stalk my target. This pathetic amount of information isn't much to go on."

"How dare you…"

"It requires a bit of information for me to do what I must in the end."

He growled softly then snorted.

"Do what you must but get it done."

A soft growl escaped the assassin. The hunter rose slowly and vanished back in the shadows. A slow malicious smirk crossed his features as he thought of his family needing him soon. This hunter was the best of the best or so his sources told him. Tohru Honda would be out of their lives forever.

Natalya growled softly as she opened her door. Tossing the file folder on the table she went to change. She unbraided her hair and ran her claw like nails through her long black hair. Sitting down on her couch she looked at the file. On the back of the picture was her target's name and her address. Memorizing her face took only a moment. There was a bit of unease as she stared at the picture, but she had to brush it off. Tomorrow she'd go to the address and stalk her target for a bit. Her ears twitched when she heard familiar footsteps in the hallway. A soft growl escaped her as her door opened. There were days she'd regretted giving Annabelle a key to her apartment. The doctor had insisted since one mission went wrong, and she'd come back in worse for wear shape. Though, having Annabelle kept her from having to visit the hospital. There was a love/hate relationship between them. She loved the fact that she didn't have to go to the hospital but she hated the fact that Annabelle was a tiger and always butting into her business.

"Get out of my apartment Annabelle."

The woman walked into the room where she was sitting and gave the hunter a glare. Her long white hair flowed down her back with black tips. Her sapphire eyes were like hard stones as she stared down at the hunter. Natalya ignored her like most times.

"Are you hurt?"

"No," she growled.

"Listen Natalya you need to stop doing this."

"It's my life so you need to butt out, Tiger," Natalya snapped angrily.

"How long do you really think you can keep this up?"

"As long as I have to."

"We're essentially family Natalya…"

"No we're not. I'm a hunter and you're a healer."

Natalya snarled at the other woman. She was fighting her basic instinct to fight with the doctor. Wolves and Tigers were never meant to get along considering the cat/dog thing that some creatures had.

"Natalya calm down before you shift."

"Get out then," she snarled.

Annabelle sighed softly. She'd tried so hard to get Natalya to stop this destructive path she was on but there was no reasoning with her. The wolf in Natalya was always seeking the hunt no matter the cost to herself. Annabelle looked at the file that was opened to the picture of her next mission.

"A little girl really Natalya? How far will you sink before you realize you're only hurting your family and yourself?"

"It's my life you stupid tiger so leave it alone, and I have no family in this country."

The woman shook her head sadly. Natalya would get killed because of the life choices she'd made. It was only a matter of time. Karma would come back and bite her in the ass hard for this.

"And here I thought you had a code as a hunter, not to harm the innocent, you dumb dog."

"Sometimes innocents get hurt whether I like it or not, you stupid tiger."

"That's pathetic and cowardly."

Natalya's eyes flashed dangerously.

"Go away Annabelle."

"What you're doing isn't right Natalya and maybe one day you'll see it or something comes back to haunt you and bite you in the ass."

"Get out!"

Before Annabelle could say more Natalya shifted to a midnight black wolf the size of a horse and snarled at the doctor. Her fangs were bared and her hackles were raised. Annabelle turned her gaze away to fight the urge to shift and fight with her. The tiger inside of her was bristling, but she fought it back. The tiger was mostly the most peaceful of the two, but the urge to fight with Natalya was becoming stronger, almost to the breaking point. Most days she was able to walk away from fighting Natalya but someday she would have to face off against the wolf to stop her from being stupid. The feeling that it would be too soon kept creeping into her heart. Shaking her head the doctor walked from the apartment locking it behind her.

Natalya's ears laid back as she calmed herself a bit. A curse escaped her as she realized she'd have to wait a day before she could go out stalking. For some reason she couldn't control herself around Annabelle. She loved and hated the curse at the same time. They could transform at will, but they had to remain in their animal forms for twenty-four hours. It was problematic for Annabelle since she was a doctor, but Natalya relished being in her beast form when she was allowed to run free in the woods. It looked like she'd have to wait a bit before venturing out. The sun was about ready to peek over the skyline to signal the dawn. Growling softly she stretched herself out over her couch and sank into a deep sleep.
