There might be some OOC-ness for akito later on...but thats not for a while.
Disclamer I DONT OWN ANYTHING not fruits basket, not even the computer that i use!
However, i own the Okira, and i hope you like the dysfunctional family my sick mind made up
Without further adue... the summary!
Have you ever felt you were completely alone? Well, no one is ever alone in anything, not even in having the Zodiac Curse...
There is a piece of the story about thecursemissing and when a group of people just as cursed as the Sohma's arrive,everyone is demanding answers that only the strangers can provide. They never knew a war was brewing under their noses and that if one person had it their way, every Sohma would be dead, lucky for them there is the Okira...
Dear member of the Okira,
As you know, there was always a need for us to protect the ones who defeted us. We are to meet at the shrine in kyoto in a fortnights time at midnight. Miss this and you will be punished, we are calling on the defeted. It is time for us to protect the family, the enemy is incredibly strong, but if every one of us die but we save a member of the family our job is done. I will not sugar coat this for the younger ones, this is a war.
Okira Maguri
She looked at the letter she just wrote, a empty hollow emotion filled her heart, she knew it was her inpending death. She looked in the mirror and saw her pale skin, her golden eyes and her silver hair that was pulled up in the tight ponytail. She saw nothing amazing about herself but she knew that many lives were at risk if she didnt die, even kinata's. She studied her reflection harder and saw her lose karate outfit in its pale blue glory and sighed upon hearing footsteps that were small and light. Kinata.
In the mirror she saw the little girl of ten standing behind her with a packed suitcase, the child was thin and pale, like Maguri, only the child had a hair with the lightest blue tint and the eyes of an albino. "Sissy...are we going?" She looked at her little sisters face. It was sad to see her small pretty face streaked with tears, she knew her big sister was counting hours untill her death. She felt overwhelming love for her sister and felt a surge of pride that someday, she would lead the family. She sudenly realized what she was dying for...her family. Both sides, memebers and the defeted. She was dying for the idea that her sister would one day be measured equal to a member of the main house. She smiled and felt tears streak her face slowly but surely and dropped to her knees and pulled her sister to her chest and said "Kinata...im going to leave you soon..." she felt her sisters small chest freeze as her thoughts were verified. "But i will continue on my journey cause death is never the end...right?" She heard a whispered "Right" she smiled slightly "So... sis, were on a path walking, runing...crawling. Theres just a fork in the path, one road to death and one road to life...im to take the first one. But do you want to hear the good news?" She winced as a tiny fist grasped the fabric of her shirt "are you going to live?" a small hopefull voice asked "Your going to keep living here, but i will die. My body will die, but i swear to you our paths will reunite at the end, were both going to a better place, but i am not ment for where you are going..." Her sister was sobing now her breath ragged and heaving. "Why? whay cant you stay...is it because your a..." she knew the word that came next. "Yes, it is. The place your going has people like us, and you will live and fight, and fall in love, and kinata when you love him...let yourself love him, for me. I have to die for the one i was made for, or else he will die, it is punishment for my crime, the crime of the animal inside me. Love him like a brother, because he should have been one." Kinata let out a cry of angiush "Why? Why were you born a wolf! Why are we like this! Why do we have this fate...Who chose it? Its not fair... its not fair..." Maguri's eyes softened "i know...i know" They sat here untill tears stopped and she then asked kinata to help mail the letters.
When she was sealing the final envalop, her sister piped "Please sissy, tell me our story one last time, before...you go..."
"Long ago.." she began savoring the look on her sister face. "When god was chosing animals, he chose two animals who had to complete a task to be accepted into the zodiac. The mighty dragon was put againt the purest, quitest deer. The monkey against the sly fox, the snake against the squirrel, the rabit against the songbird. Panther against tiger, bear against boar...and the mouse against the wolf... Now the wolf was a great fighter and the others laughed thinking the mouse didnt have a chance. There was one rule in the challenge, wich was to reach the moutian top without killing eachother. The race was a close one and in a last desprate atempt to sacure honor for her kind the wolf tryed to snap up the mouse in her jaws...and in that moment was cursed to die in his place a hundred times. Next, was the challenge for the bear and boar, the were great friends and were playing fair to reach the moutain top...but a hunter saw the boar running and took aim with his bow. The bear saw this and jumped in the way of the arrow, sacrificing himself for his friend. The boar then dragged the huge, strong, kind bear to the top of the mountian to find that her friend was dead. She sobbed and God comferted her with a promise that she would be able to repay the bear someday. Then came the rabit and songbird their task was to climb to the top of the great tree of life, but the songbird quickly flew, she almost reached the top when she heard a cry so she turned arond to see the rabit crying still on the ground and it hit her that this wasnt a fair challenge since there was no way for the rabit to climb a tree so she gave up, letting the rabit win and the rabit promised her that he would repay her..."
"Are our cousins coming to fight the war to?"
"Yes...Maiku, Kamuri, Cari, Tsudai, and... Tsume will arrive when he is needed."
Her sister smilled "I will enjoy seeing them..." Maguri smilled and thought 'God kinata alone is worth dying for...i pray i can save more people before i die, i hope my death will not be in vein.' Kinata frowned as the clock struck eight. Maguri gave her warmest toothy smile and said "Ok, lets go now..."

Okira Maguri
She crumpled the letter in her hand. Her sharp nails scraped against the papaer. The girl had thick jet black hair and almost glowing green eyes. Her hair was in a braid the reached her waist. She cursed outloud and threw the note down, yelling for a girl named Tsudai. A thin girl entered the room. Her hair was a natural copper color and cut in a short choppy cut around her face, she had pale blue eyes. "What is it Maiku! Are you okay?". The girl named Maiku breathed deeply and said "The time has come for us to serve...lets pack." Tsudai frowned "You mean...the war has started?" The raven haired girl grew stony faced. "Yes." Tsudai's eyes teared "So...Maguri's going to-" she was cut off "Shut up! Maguri is the one who sent for us...dumb wolf walking right into her death..." Tsudai saw tears pouring uncontrolibly from Maiku's eyes. She knew the insult was ment half hearted, Maguri and Maiku had always been best friends and rivals, but at times it seemed they shared a soul. She knew that when Maiku cryed the best thing to do was leave, so she slowly turned around...

Okira Maguri
A brown haired girl ran excitedtly to the mail box with great speed. Walking out slowly behind her was a girl with short blonde hair and was incredbly thin, almost anorexic looking. The girl with brown hair had a atractive build and you could tell she had a bad-ass adittude. The blonde was timid and shy. The brown haired girl opened the single peice of mail and let out a sharp cry. The blonde dashed forwars and said "Cari...whats the matter?" The girl named Cari stood emotionless as she handed the letter to the blonde who read and her mouth fell open. Cari spoke "Kamuri... i... i cant believe this is happening..." "Neither can i..."

Okira Maguri
A teenage boy with wild deep rich chestnut hair crumpled the letter and frowned, thinking one thought as he felt the urge to roar rise in his chest. 'I have to protect her...'
