Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket, however the character Teresa Sohma is mine as well is the story line.

Tohru had been thinking a lot about the raven since she'd been home, maybe Shigure will know more about Teresa.

"Shigure?" Tohru called.

"Yes Tohru?"

"I don't want to bother you if you're busy I mean… Um, I was wondering if you knew anything about the raven of the zodiac?"

"Oh so Yuki and the others finally told you did they? Well there's not much to tell, she hasn't been around in two years, but I do know she has a very strong dislike of me and Aya."

"She doesn't like you two?" Teresa wondered how anyone couldn't like Ayame or Shigure.

"Not at all, because people used to call the raven stupid for going off like that because of the snake and the dog. But she told us she wouldn't like us even if the zodiac didn't exist, personally I don't believe that," Shigure leaned closer to Tohru.

"Why would that make her stupid?" Tohru asked, she's not the brightest.

"Because it left worried about its home, and they see that as stupid, therefore that's what they said about Teresa. The talk's died down now, because she hasn't been around for so long. That's all I know," Shigure shrugged.

"Thanks Shigure!" Tohru smiled and left his study.

Meanwhile Teresa was riding with Hatori back to the main house.

"Teresa?"

"What is it Hatori?" Hatori frowned, Teresa had become so quiet, since she's been here last, probably from being around Akito so much, she probably needs to see someone again…

"The raven… what exactly is it to be the god's favorite?"

Teresa's hands tightened around the uniform in her lap, "I'm not exactly sure, it differs with each god. Hatori, I can't tell you very much, I don't know the main reason, I'm sorry."

"That's alright, I don't know why I asked."

"Because you could," Teresa muttered and Hatori heard it. He knew what she meant too, he was free to ask, but she wasn't for some reason. And that must be because of Akito, Hatori thought before turning into the main gate.

The next morning Teresa was waiting outside the school, she had managed to get out this morning without hearing from Akito and without anyone seeing her. She was waiting for Yuki, Kyo, Haru, and Momiji, she knew where they met and she knew they would be surprised to see her. Haru, his black and white hair, her thoughts went off to the ox. She and Haru had developed a relationship the last time she had been there, and they had talked for the two months after she left, but then Teresa couldn't talk to him anymore. She was sure he still felt something for her, because she felt something for him.

Teresa snapped her head up to see the four she was wait for, but a girl was with them. Who's she? Teresa thought.

Her thoughts were broken as Momiji saw her, "Tree-san!" Momiji bolted towards her.

"Momiji!" the girl called, she knows of the curse, Teresa thought but she to drop that because Momiji wrapped himself around her.

"Tree-san, I missed you."

"I missed you too Momiji," Teresa smiled at the small boy.

By now the others had caught up to them, Yuki and Kyo looked surprised and happy to see her, Haru looked surprised a little to see her.

"Teresa, it's nice to see you," Yuki smiled at her.

"You too Yuki," Teresa hugged her cousin.

"Teresa," Hatsuharu hugged his once girlfriend.

"Hey Haru," Teresa whispered to him.

"Well, well, well, the cat's still fighting with the rat," Teresa smirked at her brother like figure.

"And the bird's trying to pick another fight," Kyo answered just as smugly. Kyo pulled her into a hug.

Teresa's eyes scanned the faces, and her eyes stopped on the girl, "I'm Teresa Sohma, and you are?"

"Oh! I'm Tohru Honda!" the girl respectfully bowed.

Teresa only inclined her head at the gesture, as bowing was never something she had grown accustomed to. Tohru looked up and smiled at Teresa, "Tohru, tell me how do you know the Sohmas?"

"Oh, I live with Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure, I'm there housekeeper," the girl spoke quickly as though she was nervous to talk to Teresa.

"So I take it you know of the curse?"

"Yes I do, and Yuki, Kyo, and Hatsuharu, told me of your zodiac animal," Tohru felt nervous speaking to Teresa, because she seemed so much like Akito. Just by the questions she asked, and she was apparently close to him so Tohru had no idea what she could do.

Teresa nodded not sure if she could trust this girl or not, "So Teresa, why did you come back now?" Yuki asked her.

"Because I thought it was time to come back," she smiled, "And I thought it was time I fought me brother again," Teresa playfully elbowed Kyo in the ribs, who threw his arm around her shoulder putting her in a light headlock.

"You and Kyo are brother and sister?" Tohru asked surprised.

"What? Oh that, no we're not, we're just really close, so Kyo's kind of like a brother to me," Teresa smiled at the cat.

"That doesn't mean that she's still a pain though," Kyo said.

"Kyo she's been here five minutes, you can't say that!" Momiji stood up for her.

"Momiji I swear, I hate you little voice come here!" Kyo ran and began attacking Momiji.

"WAH! Kyo's hurting me!" Momiji cried.

Teresa smiled as she watched Tohru try to calm Momiji down, while Yuki attempted to get the 'stupid cat' to let Momiji go.

"Well," Teresa snapped her head to the voice beside her, Haru, "It appears we have a few things to talk about."

"Yeah we do," Teresa inwardly smiled inwardly knowing what he meant, "Same place as always? I might have to go to Akito after school so how does 4:30 sound?"

Haru nodded, "Sure, if you don't come within 10 minutes leave right?"

"Yeah," Teresa smiled glad he remembered what they had agreed upon when they set up a meeting and she may have to go to Akito.

The day progressed fairly well for Teresa, Arisa and Hana, Tohru's friends, like Teresa. Although both girls were a little skeptical of Teresa's quiet personality and her cold way toward Tohru.

Arisa leaned close to Hana, "What do you think of Teresa?"

"I don't know, her electric signals are odd. She doesn't treat Tohru as nicely as I would like though," Hana said in her monotone.

After school Teresa was heading to the main house a little earlier than the others left, I have to go to Akito's was the one thing on her mind.
