Let's see I've reread the first chapter before I started to write this and I actually found a lot of mistakes, so if you find more on this chapter, just try to make out what it says, I guess.

Fateful Encounter

Chapter Two

It's You Again

A minute later after Tohru woke up, she got up and walked over to the door just as it opened. It was Shigure.

"Mornin umm… what's your name again?"

With a puzzled look, Tohru replied, "Umm… Good morning. My name is Tohru Honda and um…."

After a couple of seconds and Tohru still didn't know his name, he finally said "My name is Shigure. I'm Yuki's cousin."

Then Tohru remembered about her situation, "Umm.. How did I end up in this room?"

"Ahh.. Yes, last night you fainted so Yuki brought you here. Last night I actually looked for the place you said you lived in since you said nearby. I found a tent nearby, so I'm assuming you live in that tent?"

Tohru looked away and nodded.

"Tell meTohru, how come you live in the tent?"

Tohru started explaining about her mother and the situation about her grandfather's house and stuff.

"I see... How long have you been living in the tent?"

"I think.. about three weeks."

Shigure began thinking for a couple of minutes. "Well I suppose you can live with us until you can go back to your grandfather's place."

"I.. I.. Well.. I don't think I should.. I didn't earn it or anything. I don't think I deserve it.."

"If you're worried about that how about we make a deal. We'll let you stay here if.. you help us cook and clean up a little."

Tohru took a minute to think and finally said "Okay."

Tohru got ready for school. Just when she was about to leave, Yuki went up to her and asked if he could walk to school with her. "Sure!"

As they were walking out of the forest, Tohru was limping a little, but she was fine with walking. She accidently tripped and Yuki turned around to try to help her. As Tohru was falling she hugged Yuki to try to prevent herself from falling, but they both fell onto the ground.

POOF

"huh??" Wondered Tohru.

There was a gray rat on the ground upder Tohru. Tohru immediately got up.

"Eeeeeeek! Where did Sohma-kun go?!"

The rat spoke. " I'm right here. You see our family is well.. cursed with the Chinese Zodiac. Whenever we're weak or hugged by a member of the opposite sex, we transform into our animals and well. I'm the rat as you can see. The problem is whenever we turn back we're..."

POOF

Yuki was naked.

"Eeeek!!" Tohru ran to school by herself.

"That was quick." Shigure came out of nowhere and said, "You told her."

After school..

Yuki went up to Tohru. "Honda-san, I hope I didn't scare you this morning. I would like you to keep this as a secret or else your memory would be erased. The head of our family already approved of you."

With that, he left.

For the next few days, there was school and work for Tohru. She lives with the Sohma now. Today was a Saturday and she wanted to go to Arisa's house.

She got permission and left. Arisa's house was a 30 minute walk and Hana was already there.

As she was on her way, she passed by a park. It was empty, but then Tohru saw this boy with orange hair there. He seemed around Tohru's age and he was walking back and forth, with a troubled look.

Suddenly Tohru had flashbacks.

Shre remembered walking into a forest. She remembered meeting a boy with similiar hair.

"I am..."

"Sohma the best of the best!"

That was all Tohru can remember.

For some reason the name just blanked, fate maybe? Wait, it's a Sohma, could it be that he's related to Yuki??

With all the thinking, Tohru didn't notice that the boy was gone. She turned around to leave and there he is.

Up close, he seemed pretty cute, but his words are so foul. "Who the hell are you to come here?"

"I..I just walked by and you seemed familair.." Tohru remmebered his name. Then she added quietly.. "Kyo Sohma kun..."

To Be Continued!!

Sorry for making you guys wait foreverrr for this. I hate it when other people do this, so I decided to update more. Oh and sorry if I made a lot of mistakes, because I think I did.
