J-Chan: Konnichiwa Minna-San! I'm very happy to say that this is my first story on every, so please be kind and no flames, or they will be used to set a flame to your computer. Anyway, thanks for reading this!

Shigure: You forgot to do the disclaimer J-Chan. Shall I do it for you?

J-Chan: By all means Gure!

Shigure: J-Chan does not own Fruits Basket, no matter how much she wishes she did. Natsuki Takaya does. All J-Chan owns is Shina.

It was a hot day in June when she arrived at his house. She wanted to see him again after so long. She had moved out of Sohma house and could see him everyday. She crossed up the path to his large tradition style house. With a knock on the door she announced her presence. A girl with long brown hair in braids and big green eyes answered the door. "Yes? Can I help you," she asked politely. "Um…you must be Tohru Honda right," Shina answered. "Oh! Yes! And who are you?" "I'm…Shina Sohma," she said. "Sohma…wah," Tohru said in surprise. "Um…I'm here to see my brother." "Your brother," Tohru asked. "Yeah…Shigure." Tohru promptly did a double take before leading her into the house.

Tohru studied the girl named Shina. She did look just like Shigure. She had the same dark hair and eyes as him. She was wearing a red and yellow button sweater and a black skirt with long high healed boots. Her grayish-black hair was pulled back with a large clip into a flip bun that stuck out (A/N: Think Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist) and she had long bangs that hung down from the side (A/N: Think Winry's bangs). When the girl entered the house she looked around and seemed to be entranced by the place.

"Um…Shina, would you like some tea," Tohru politely asked. "Oh…yes, that would be nice thank you," Shina replied. Shina sat down at the table in the living room and waited for Tohru, all the while studying her brother's house. Tohru came back ten minutes later with some tea and many questions.

"Shigure never told me he had a sister! How old are you," she asked. "I'm 20. I go to the same university as Kagura," Shina answered. Just then Yuki came into the room. "Miss Honda I thought I heard the door…," but he stopped short when he saw Shina sitting there with Tohru. "Ina…wow, what are you doing here? It's been a long time." "Hey, Yuki. It has been a while, how are you," Shina asked. "Oh I'm fine. I see you've met Miss Honda," he said with a chuckle. Shina nodded.

She had heard a lot about Tohru from Kagura and the main house. She really wanted to meet her and see her brother. "So you're not a member of the zodiac huh," Tohru inquired. "No…but I know everyone in the family. Me, Kagura, Yuki, Kyo, Haru, and Momiji used to play together when we were little," Shina said. "And Hatori and Ayame are like my brothers too because they hung out with Shigure when I was growing up. How are Momiji and Haru doing in school," she asked. "Oh, they're fine," Yuki replied. It was so nice to see the family again.

Just then Shigure decided to come home. "Yuki, Kyo, Tohru, I'm home," he called from the front door. When he walked into the living room he saw Shina sitting there. "Ina," he said dumbfounded. "Aniki," she said running up to him and giving him a hug, not really caring he would turn into a dog. When he transformed he was still confused. "It's good to see you too Imouto-Chan. What are you doing here," "I came to see you and Tohru," Shina said happily.

Ten minutes later they were all sitting at the table waiting for Kyo to get back from Kazuma's dojo (Shigure had changed back). "Shigure, how come you never told me you had a younger sister," Tohru asked. "Because you never asked," he replied, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Tohru, Shina, and Yuki sweat dropped. "Yeah…this is my beloved little sister Shina," Shigure said with pride and gave her a big smile. "You can call me Ina though," Shina said to Tohru. "Ina was born when I was seven, so she grew up with me, Ha'ri, and Aya."

Tohru was amazed to see how much the siblings looked alike. And when she stood up next to Shigure she was only three inches shorter than him. Shigure was tall at 5'10, and Ina was 5'7, so it was hard to tell that he had seven years on her. "So you go to the same university as Kagura right," Tohru asked. "Uh-huh. I'm a sophomore, she's a freshman. And I've seen Ri's university, but he's a junior," Ina said. "Oh, Ritsu! How is he doing," Tohru asked. "Yes, is he settling down," Yuki asked. "A little, but he still apologizes all the time," she replied.

Then the door was heard opening and Kyo walked in. "Hey, I'm home…Shina…what are you doing here," he asked. "Hey, Kyo-Kyo! How are you," she greeted. "Don't call me Kyo-Kyo," he huffed. She giggled and waved a hand. "He still has a bad temper, huh Gure," she asked her brother. "Yes…he is going through a rebellious phase," Shigure said. "AM NOT," Kyo shouted. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ANYWAY," Kyo shouted at Shina. "Well, I came to see Aniki and Tohru," she replied. Kyo gave a defeated sigh and stomped up to his room. "So how's college going," Shigure asked his sister. "Oh, it's good. I'm majoring in journalism." Shigure beamed at this. "Ah yes, my dear little sister is going to follow in my footsteps and become a great writer like myself," he said with pride.

"So Shina…," Tohru began. "Ina," the sister of the zodiac dog corrected. "You can call me by my nickname. You don't have to be that polite," she said with a smile. "Uh…okay…Ina…so when did you first find out about the curse," Tohru asked her intended question. Shina thought for a moment. Then she broke out into a huge grin and began to laugh.

J-Chan: So that ends the first chapter. Next chapter will reveal Shina and Shigure's pasts and what they were like growing up. I hope you like the story. And please, no flames, or I'll have Haru turn black and visit your house, and it won't be pretty. Please R&R!
