Hi there everyone! This is my first Fruits Basket fanfiction so I thought that I would start off with a poem! I have written more Fruits Basket fics as well. So it does not really say, but you can guess who is who. And I apologize for the spacing.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket


A Girl And Her Cat

There once was a girl, there once was a cat

He'd go out for a walk, and then he'd come back

The girl loved this cat with all of her heart

Without him, her world would fall apart

One day in late Autumn, the cat took a walk

Just before he left, the girl gave him a talk

"Come back real soon, little kitty okay?

And then we can do something fun today!"

And so the cat began his stroll

His tail held high like a tall street poll

And so the girl waited for him all day

But her cat did not come, it was night that came

She sat in the dark, patient and calm

I know he'll come back, he has to! She thought

But as night dragged on, he did not return

The hole in her heart was starting to burn

When dawn broke, she was crying

The tears wouldn't cease

She felt as though she were dying

All her joy turned to grief

She then heard a sound, a ruffle nearby

The girl looked up, trying not to cry

But it was only the wind, not the friend she had hoped for

She burst into to tears, and wept more and more

She sobbed all day, and night drew near

Loneliness was now the only thing that she feared

As she stood up to leave, something touched her leg

Something furry and soft and she tilted her head

He made a noise, a "meow" if you will

And her world started turning again, no longer still

She scooped up her cat, she hugged him and cried

His tongue licked her face, and her tears it did dry

The girl looked up to the sky, and her smile shown

"Thank goodness! Thank goodness!

My kitty came home!"

A/N: Well there you have it! Gomen, this is not anywhere close to my best work, I just thought it up and typed it. I can do much better than this and I am mad that I did not! Grr. Lol.

Well anyway I hope you enjoyed it! Please review if you want!!
