Sister of the Crimson Dragon: *hides behind bullet-proof glass* I'm so sorry for not updating in over a year! I feel so stupid. -.- I fangirl-ed over my own series (wow, I'm such a dork XP) and tried to place the ages and timelines and such for the next "books" in the series. It's been confusing me since forever! Plus, the original docs for the previous chapters were deleted by the site (because they were waiting for over 90 days) and I had to re-write them, in case of modifications.

I wrote this chapter a few months ago, but totally forgot about it. And I can't believe that I actually wrote this... Anywho, I need to revise this (well, really ALL) fanfic, so after I post chapter 6 (this chapter) and 7, it'll still be quite the wait-again-until chapter 8. If you have any ideas, please leave a review and/or send me an E-mail/PM! It doesn't seem THAT popular, anyways, so it's not really on top of my list. :P

Now, my muses shall do the disclaimer!

Phoenix, Athena, Lyre/Laurel and Sadie: Sister of the Crimson Dragon does not own Fruits Basket. The series belongs entirely to Natsuki Takeya, FUNimation and Hakusensha and does not profit anything-except maybe happiness-from writing this fanfiction. Or the songs mentioned.


Previously, on "In a Zodiac World":

Kyle's P.O.V:
[after their exams, at the high-school]

We were done our exams. Me and Maka were in the same class as this girl named 'Motoko Minagawa', who was some crazy president of Yuki's fan-club, according to Jane.

Kenjii and Bri were in the same class as Kyo, Yuki and Tohru. Suddenly, two girls came towards us; a black haired who looked... eerie..., and a blonde yankee.

"Oi! Who are you?" the blonde asked.

"Why, hello, Arisa!" Bri said. "We live with Tohru now. Tohru talks a lot about you. You're Arisa Uotani, or Uo, and you are Saki Hanajima, or Hana."

So much for waiting until they introduce themselves. But, how do they know them? Wait...

Oh yeah! Tohru must've introduced them last night.

"Huh? Uh, yeah." Uo said.

"Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Brianna. Call me Bri." I really think she actually meant, "Hi. I'm Brianna and I'm here to make your lives a living hell.", which is what usually happens with people my foster sis meets.

"Maka, the most matured of the four." I frowned. Hey, I can be mature too.

"Kyle. Bri's older brother, have a sister in middle school, same year as Maka." I said nonchalantly, than quickly added, "And I can be mature, too."

"M'name's McKenzie Blue. Ev'ryone calls me Kenjii and you must too. Same year as Bri and you." the dirty blonde stopped before grinning widely. "Heeey, that rhymes!"

"Well, glad to meet you. Hope you're treating Tohru well. She needs more female companions."

"I sense fine electric signals, although, they're quite like the Sohma's." Hana said.

All of our four faces froze at that.

"Whelp! We gotta go now. Ciao, bellas!" Bri cried, her mood changing fast.

We all left, Tohru, Uo, Hana, Kyo and Yuki going back to class, as they were finishing their school day.

Walking towards Shigure's house, I wondered how Jane and Kira were doing...

Chapter 6: Akito and Kiddie's Shows!

Yuki's P.O.V:
[next morning]

I woke up, well, not completely, to the sound of loud singing. Going downstairs, I saw Bri and Kenjii singing quite obnoxiously. Hard to imagine that they were on a singing show or whatever. There, I saw that baka neko holding his head, annoyed. I smirked at that.

"Dora, Dora, Dora the Explorer! Dora! Come on! Let's go! You can lead the waaaaay!" the duo sang.

"Ohayo, Blue-san, Walker-san! What are you singing?" I asked, giving them a tired smile.

"Why, hello, Yukon-charley! We are singing the song of-!"

"'Dora the Explorer'!" Bri exclaimed, skipping like Ayame does.

"Dora... the Explorer?" Tohru asked.

"Yes, the Spanish explorer!"

"More like the Obnoxious Explorer." Kyo whispered and I had to agree with him.

"Barney is a dinosaur with one imagination! ABCs and 123s and how to be friend!" Kenjii sang.

Then, Shigure came in... with Akito. He ignored me as my eyes narrowed.

"I'd like to see Dellington-san." he demanded.

"Um, yes, Akito-sama?" Kira asked, poking her head into the main room/dining room. "I thought, you know..."

"Yes, but I decided to visit early." he grinned.

Bri and Kenjii didn't notice him and started to sing.

'Bad timing!' I thought, worried.

"Go, Diego, go! Ares cate, amigos to rescue my friends!"

"SHUT UP! STOP WITH THE DAMN SINGING!" yelled an angry girl's voice.

"My little pony, my little pony! Aaaah! My little pony! I used to wonder what friendship could beee!~" the duo, sang, ignoring the yell.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!"

The "yeller" was Jane, storming down, with a face more angered than yesterday morning.

"FIRST, YOU SPLASH AND ALMOST DROWNED ME WITH WITH ICE-COLD WATER, AND THAN YOU SING THOSE FRIGGIN' ANNOYIN' SONGS! HOW OLD ARE YOU?!" she rambled.

"Uh, 16, duh!" the two 16-years-old replied.

"WELL, ACT LIKE IT!"

"Maybe we don't wanna!" Bri said, sticking out her lower lip in a pout, clearly trying to hide a smirk.

Jane left growling. She came back with two large Merriam-Webster English dictionaries, probably from Shigure's office, and chucked them at her foster sister and friend.

CHUNK!

One hit Brianna, but the other...

"Oh, lala!" the ginger whistled, holding her forehead.

"Aah! Gomen... Akito-sama!" Jane apologized.

Bri's P.O.V:

Who did Jane hit, other than me?

Akito Sohma.

The head and "god"-he's waaay to full of himself if he thinks he's that-of the Sohmas.

I betcha' Kira's praying to Kami-sama for Akito to not rage, 'cos according to her, he does that a LOT.

Anyways, Kira tried calming Akito down, as he tried to keep calm.

"Ah-ah! Sorry, Akito-sama! I'll go get some ice." and Kira left, well, tried. Akito pulled her onto his lap, which is frickin' weird, wrapped his arms around her, totally weird now, smirked, okay, he's seriously acting stalker-ish, and nuzzled her blonde hair-now THAT is just... awkward...

"W-w-what are you doing?!" Kira asked, blushing. So modest.

Than I remembered what Jane had text-ed me and Kenjii after our exams; how they met Akito then and how he had a thing for her.

'Aww! So cute!' I thought while Kenjii and Jane gawked, jaws wide open. Really?

Kira's P.O.V:

W-w-what is g-going on?! Akito's supposed to be AT LEAST a bit cold-hearted, not this! But, this shows he's being possessive, which is bad.

"Hmm, I'll make a deal; Kira for your memories." he smirked.

"W-whaaat?!"

"HUH?!" Maka, Kenjii and Jane yelled, them plus the Sohmas, except Shigure, jumped up.

"W-wait! I haven't agreed to this!" I protested, trying to get up but was pulled back down, hugged more firmly.

"No need. Your memories for Kira-chan. She'll live in the main house. But don't worry, we'll set a visiting schedule." Akito explained as if this was nothing.

Maka frowned. Being my older sister's, Amy, best friend, she was protective of my other siblings and me. She decided to stay quiet, thankfully. Who knows what Akito would do to her! When Maka's angry, she has a beautiful dictionary full of colourful words made up in her head and spewing out of her mouth. Kyle just sat there, a frown also forming his face.

"We're going to have a private talk. We'll come back with an answer." Jane said, getting up.

We all followed her to the kitchen. Maka and Kyle leaned against the wall, Bri did a hand-stand against the other wall while Kenjii, Jane and I just stood.

"So, this is mainly Kira's choice. Akito sometimes..." my best friend trailed off.

"Aggressive. And possessive. According to the manga, his, or rather her, mother, Ren Sohma, was cruel to Akito because she thought Akito would replace her in Akira's, Ren's husband and Akito's father, heart." Kenjii finished.

After some silence, I spoke up.

"You know what? I accept. At least we get to keep our memories. And Akito was kind enough to offer visits."

My friends murmured in response.

"You sure?" asked Bri skeptically.

"Positive." I forced a smile.

We all went back to the other room, Kyo now being there as well.

"I'll be staying with you. But, I'm leaving tomorrow." I said.

Nodding, Akito got up.

"Very well. I'll get someone to drive you there. Good day." and he left.

After awhile, Shigure switched moods from serious to happy.

"Well, didn't that go well?"

"Shigure, you're such an idiot." Yuki sighed.

"Yeah, just like your-"

"Just shut it, you stupid cat."

"Damn rat!"

"Hey! This ain't the time to fight!" Bri yelled. They stopped and stared at me.

I just hope I made the right choice.


Sister of the Crimson Dragon: Yay! Posted it after Nameless Angel 00's review! X) I'm sorry if the lyrics for the kid's songs are wrong; I sorta' guessed them.

Phoenix: I, the immortal Phoenix, have told her to research the lyrics, but she refused to listen to this muse and instead took Sadie's advice; to guess the lyrics.

Sadie: Shut up! Lyre came up with that idea, not you.

Laurel: My female counter-part did? *sighs* Never mind. Please R&R, before this fight continues. Thanks for those who've already favourite-d, followed and/or reviewed!

Sister of the Crimson Dragon: See y'all next time in Chapter 7: "Movie Stars and Paparazzi!"! Grammar mistakes WILL be corrected soon!
