Thank you for your support everyone! The answer/response to all the reviews will be at the bottom of this chapter. Also, I know it's been a long time since we updated! But try to be reasonable with us. We only see each other when passing through the halls after 1st period.
So we're trying our best from now on to update at least once a week!
Disclaimer: We do not own Fruits Basket or the characters, we only own the two OCs in the story.
Chapter 2
"I believe….I will trust this Tohru Honda….For Yuki and for Kyo…..
And for myself…"
Shinmiri's P.O.V.
After running away in order to not get caught, Shinmiri ran to her house and stashed away the camera. Before long she was out of the house while telling her dad that she'll be out a bit in front of the main house. This is where she ran into Shigure, who probably went and saw Akito.
"Shigure-san, who is this Tohru Honda?" asked Shinmiri, her amber eyes filled with curiosity, while standing behind him.
A highly spirited man wearing a traditional kimono turned around, sleek black bangs falling in his eyes. He was Shigure Sohma, cursed by the Dog of the Zodiac. Eyeing him with intense interest, she noticed how he averted his gaze. Not that it mattered; almost everyone at the Sohma household feared her wolf-like eyes.
"Why would Miri-chan like to know?" A hint of humor was detected as Shigure replied with a question of his own.
In response to this, Shinmiri pulled out a pair of chopsticks and threw them at him.
"I told you not to call me that," she hissed. Shigure didn't seem phased by this however, and merely pocketed the chop sticks thrown at him.
"Well then, Shinmiri-kun, tell me why you're so curious," his face was calm as he folded his hands behind his back and casually waited for her answer.
"Don't you know? Everyone's been talking about it at the main house. Even Hatori is curious," Shinmiri explained.
Koumori's P.O.V.
'Alright!' Koumori thought as she made her way on the one of many paths outside of the main house,' Shinmiri's dad said she's outside. So she should b-'
Right before her was a little dog, a Shih Tzu. Blinking, Koumori smiled and said in a mini cute voice," Awww look at the small cute dog! Even though you remind me of a hairball."
Reaching out a hand to pet the dog, it suddenly turned and rapid and tried to bite her. Unfortunately, the dog succeeded. Thus, Koumori stared dumbly for a moment. Blinking a bit, the pain started to sink in.
A moment longer and a yell could be heard. "HOLY! EVIL DOG! EVIL DOG!" shouted Koumori.
Flailing her arms with the little dog still latched onto her hand, Koumori ran toward the way Shinmiri was, or at least thought she was. On the way she screamed," EVIL MEAN BITING SMALL DOG! PURE EVIL!"
As she neared the entrance of the main house, she saw Shigure and Shinmiri talking. Koumori would have shouted a warning about the 'evil biting' dog on her hand, only to notice that it felt lighter.
Speeding up, she went behind Shigure and blinked when the dog was gone. Looking over Shigure's shoulder, she saw the "evil" dog looking innocent; especially with Shigure here, the irony.
Shinmiri's P.O.V.
"Koumori-kun, what's going on?" Shigure blinked confusingly as he asked the question, but Shinmiri sighed and stuffed her hands in her pockets.
"Do I even wanna know what happened?" she had a very sarcastic expression on her face, but soon she removed her hands from her pockets and picked up the small dog. Petting it, the small dog yipped happily as it tried to lick her fingers. But neither Shigure nor Shinmiri saw the mischievous grin the dog flashed at Koumori. Or at least, Shigure pretended not to see it.
Koumori's P.O.V.
"B-b-but……," Koumori started, and then pointed accusingly at the dog," He just…..didn't you, but he…..then you…..then he….then I…"
Suddenly Koumori threw her hand sup in the air as if silently surrendering. Then she soon puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms over her chest; all the while glaring at the small dog in Shinmiri's arms.
"Evil dog…,"she mumbled, then perked up and asked," So…what were you'll talking about? Also, did you'll notice that Akito's angrier then usual?"
Shinmiri's P.O.V
"Maybe it's because of the pranks on the main house having been increasing in number, eh Koumori?" Her eyes narrowed as she grinned, and Shigure seemed clueless at the hidden humor in her expression.
"Actually, it's because a girl named Tohru Honda has discovered our secret. But Akito has allowed her to stay at my house for a while," he explained, and then began to walk away.
"If you'd be so kind as to excuse me, I must return home. Yuki-kun is waiting for me," he said as he continued towards the gates. He went through them, exiting the Sohma Estate while leaving the two beside each other and the "evil" dog.

Responses to the Reviews:
Year Of The Cat 678: Thank you very much. Though we were interested in how you said which of our OCs got along with the other characters. The truth is we weren't even thinking of that or even aiming at it. Since you pointed it out we found it interesting and funny at the same time. Thank you again for reading and reviewing the story.
Gaimboi712: We're honored that this is the first fanfiction story you read when you joined. It's sorta cool since this is the first fanfiction we started together. Though to answer your question about the future, we aren't sure. We might just stick with only two so it can be easier. Thank you for your support!
Slayer-of-light: Thank you, Thank you! We're happy that you love the story so far. We are planning on going through the whole story so you'll indeed see us writing.
KhanomAna: We're glad that you like the story. Also, we'll be trying to make the chapters longer for all of you. Actually, we should scratch out the trying and say "We'll be making the chapters longer."
Thank you everyone for your support and reviews. We're indeed very happy that you like it so far! We'll probably be updating again next Tuesday. Until then, hopefully you enjoyed this chapter! Read and review!
