I hope this story is something that everyone is liking so far. I have just reacently started liking Fruits Basket. I am more then glad to take any suggestions that any of you have and reviews are welcome.

After the accident with Kyo's father Kazuma welcomed us with open arms and was very pround of Kyoko. He has always be proud of her for being a black belt before her brothers and for being a girl that loves marcial arts.

"Well Koyko for someone who is quite all the time you do know how to voice your opinion very loudly." Kazuma told her in a proud voice. Kyoko wasn't all that excited about it. That man blamed her father for a her grandmothers death.

"Grandpa it isn't something to be proud of. That man was drunk he didn't know what he was doing. I bet he wont remember what happened today." Kyoko said while looking at her food. Then the door bell rang.

Kazuma looked towards the doors. "I wonder who that could be. I am not expecting anyone today and I have no classes." Kazuma said as Shigure walked in.

"Well who do we have here? Kazuma keeping Tohru all to yourself that's not fair. You get too see her all the time I don't." Shigure complained. "I mean real..." Kyo slaped him upside the head. "Shut the hell up you pervert. What gives you the right to talk to her like that you basterd?" Kyo yelled just like when we lived with him.

"Dad you know you shouldn't be mean to people. It's just not right." Tomoya said nicely. Kyo turned to look at him. Then said to Tomoya. "It's ok he has no importance to anyone." Kyo said still angry at Shigure.

Just then a young girl come through the door. "Uncle Kazuma!" She yelled at him when she saw him. She ran to him and he scooped her up in his arms. "Uncle Kazuma what are you doing tomorrow?" The young girl asked. She looked like Shigure but had a feeling that she could turn and be a different person in a second just like Akito.

"Tomorrow I will be with my grandchildren. Why do you ask?" Kazuma said sweetly. The little girl smiled and then started to talk even more. "Cause Mommy and Daddy will be at the house doing something very boring and I don't want to be there." She said like it was something that should be know.

"An just like us she hates to be envoloved with something so boring she came to someone that will be doing something somewhat fun." Said a boy aroud Kyoko and Sota's age. "Dad you should really learn to keep your mouth shut if mom hits you for looking at another woman don't you think a man would also do the same for his wife?" The boy said as if he came just to keep his father in line.

"Oh sorry for my Father he never learned to keep things to himself. My name is Saskue Sohma." He said very politely this gave me the impression that he was here for Akito but was like his Father.

"Saskue how can you be so mean to me? Me your Father of all people. So cruel yes that is what you are." Shigure said while crying.

Saskue rolled his eyes and then sighed. "Dad really I can't see why mom puts up with you its not like you are all there to start with." He said not very kind at all like it was a shame to have him for a father.

"Hey I wouldn't say you had the greatest Dad in the world." Kyo said as he looked at Shigure in the eye and then Shigure looked sad. "But you don't have the worst Dad either be greatful for him. He paid for my meals and gave me a roof over my head for most of my highschool life." Kyo said to the boy who looked at his father.

"Wait Dad are you telling me this is the Shigure Sohma that wrote all those novels?" Kyoko was a bit of a book warm and she made it a goal to read all of the Shigure Sohma book's. When Sasuke looked at her he had no clue what she was talking about.

"What books are you talking about. So you have the wrong guy. My Father write something. He runs everytime my Mom ask's him to watch my baby sister." Sasuke said bluntly.

Shigure stood up and then smiled. "Oh I thought I mentioned that I did write a could of novels in my youth." He said with smile that said he was very proud that he could brag. Kyo looked at him then turned his back. "Yeah but always gave your editor a hard time, almost drove her to suiside didn't you?" Kyo made it a point to make him look bad.

"Why Kyo? Why are you so mean to me?" Shigure asked while hugging Kyo's leg. "GET OFF!" Kyo yelled ready to hit him again if he didn't move. Shigure got off of him and stated talking to himself. "I just don't get it. He's the same even after highschool. Yuki too I just don't understand young people nowa days."

"Dad please stop you are making me look bad." Sasuke told him. Shigure looked at his son then smiled.

"So you say you have read my books?" He asked Kyoko. She smiled then nodded. "Well that is very interesting. Tell me who told you about my books?" He asked while lighting a ciggaret.

Kyoko looked at him. "No one sir. I found one of them and then I loved reading your work and when my mom saw what I was reading she told me who you were." She said while looking down. She was never good at facing others.

Shigure noticed this and had a look on his face. "Well that is very interesting a Sohma reading something another Sohma wrote not even realizing it." Shigure flicked his ashes in the ashtray. "Well we best be going now children, don't want your Mother to worry." Shigure said as he was walking out the door. "Oh Kyo, Tohru don't forget in two days the banquet are your children coming?" He turned and asked Kyo and I.

Kyo didn't answer he just assumened it was only us two that were coming. Kyo isn't all that fond of the children knowing the curse. "Yes they will be coming." I said trying to get Shigure out of Kyo's sight and quick. "Well that's good Akito wants to meet all the children." He smiled and left with his little girl in toe.

But Sasuke stayed behind. "So Uncle Kazuma are we going to practice or are you going to make me go home and put up with that man?" He asked begging that he can train and not go home to Shigure.

Kazuma looked like he would love to help him train but then again he wanted to stay with us and see us. Kazuma was torn between his love of family and love of martial arts.

Sota saw that he was having a hard time. "Hey Grandpa if you already promised him you guys could train then train we don't have a problem with it." Sota of course always spoke for others and it was always these statement that got him a slap upside the head from Kyo. "Don't speak for others." Kyo yelled at him. All the while Kazuma was wispereing to Kyoko something.

Kyoko stood. "If you want I can help you train." She said in her I am sweet voice. Sasuke loooked at her then laughed. "Sorry but umm...well you see I am really close to getting my black belt so I don't want to hurt you." He smiled a smile that says I have no control and I really want to take anger out on a guy.

"Sasuke she is working on getting stronger let her help you." Kazuma told him. Saskue lost his smile and told Kyoko to follow him. Kyo didn't like that his sixteen year old was in another room in a diiferent building n with a boy alone but he also knew that Kyoko would be able to put him in his place.

In the dojo

We walked into the room of the dojo. Sasuke looked at me like I was a fresh peice of meat. But what he didn't know is that I was already a black belt and I was suppose to put him in his place. That's what Grandpa wants me to do. Anyone that has an ego that big and it needs to be lowered.

"Ok so I really need to work hard so I need you to come at me and try to land a blow on me right here." Sasuke said pointing at his shoulder. I looked at him like I have no clue but on the inside I wanted to scream I can kick your ass but I was doing this for Grandpa and Akito's sake not mine.

I did as Sasuke told me I went straight to his shoulder. This told me that he was not very bright when it came to moves to work on. If you are close to becoming a black belt then he should be way past this. So this means he is toying with me.

Grandpa told me to understand and learn more about what type of person he is. And then when I got all the infomation I need then I would be able to strike and put him in his place. Learning about him took me all but about ten minutes.

After ten minutes of this attitude from him I decided to just pull my best move on him. The X-burner a movie that can knock him on his ass so quick he wouldn't know what hit him. All I had to do was to position my hands just right. Luckly for me as I went for the blow he trunrned and that I landed my blow. It took him for a ride.

He was laying on his back. I walked over to see if I had gone over board with my own stregnth. I stretched my hand out to help him. He looked at me and then rejected my hand and got up on his own. Sasuke looked at me.

"What is your belt?" He asked angry. I looked at him and then I decided to walk away. I didn't take this from my brother I was not going to take it from a guy I just met. As I walked away he ran after me.

"Hey I asked you a question and when I do I expect and answer." He grab my shoulder and turned me around. I loked him in the eye. "You don't demand anything from me and you sure as hell don't camand me to do a thing." I said with a calm voice and that is when I walked out the door and went back to Grandpa's.

Back at Kazuma's

"Well how did it go?" Kazuma asked at I walked through the door. I looked at him and then walked to the bathroom and washed up.

As I looked in the mirrior I saw something on my neck. As I removed my top layered shirt I saw the mark of a fresh bruise. I knew of Dad saw this that it would be the end. I grab my make up bag and covered it up.

I walked out of the bathroom just as soon as dinner was ready. I sat at the table and even here at Grandpa's mom cooks.

"So how was your little sparing match?" Sota asked. I looked at him like this was an unwelcomed topic. Mom must have seen how I felt cause she told Sota to change the topic.

After dinner I was so welcomed to the bed that Grandpa gave me while we visited. The next day was the day we would go to the beach. I was so looking forward to it. That was until Dad met someone that he didn't seem to like.

Well second chapter is done. Let me know what ya think. If you have suggestions please feel free to tell me, I am open to them.
