Me: HEY PEOPLE! THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS!
Kyo: yeah yeah just get on with it….
Me: …ok…lets see…I don't own fruits basket, nor the characters except Krystal and Jaime. Enjoy!
Kyo: story still sucks…
Me: -whacks him over head- ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Kyo: dirty bitch…
CHAPTER ELEVEN!
Did that actually just happen? No way…whoa no! No no no! This is wrong! This can't be happening! He loves Tohru, not me! He can't! It's not possible! Damn, that was my first kiss too….though, I don't really mind, especially since it was him who kissed me…but wait, no I can't think like that! He belongs with Tohru! Maybe…he…wasn't feeling well? No…oh I don't know! Nothing makes sense!
Krystal stumbled to the door, her thoughts overwhelming her.
Now what? How do I act around him after he kissed me? Wait, I know. Act normal, like nothing happened! Yes, the others don't know that he kissed me and they shouldn't….and plus the curse! Yes, that, I need to see if it was a fluke or not!
Finally regaining her senses, Krystal raced down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Jaime! Where is Shigure?" She blurted out. Jaime looked over from her cooking.
"Uh….Try his office!" She said thoughtfully and returned to her task. Krystal nodded, then jogged down the hallway, checking each door before finally coming across Shigure's room. It certainly was a mess, worst than what the manga had shown.
Dirty and clean laundry was tossed about here and there. Random papers, folders, pens, pencils, and books lain on the floor messily. She stepped over a huge pile of books and a blanket and finally saw the dog resting in his chair.
"Shigure!" The dog looked up, straightened and put on a playful grin.
"Ah! What did I do to deserve a visit from a pretty little flower such as yourself? Couldn't stay away from me, hmm?"
"Oh shut up, you perv. I need to test something." Shigure made a fake pout but quickly recovered.
"And what might that be?"
"Uh…well…." She blushed slightly. "I need to hug you."
"Ah, so I was right! You are lusting after me, after all!"
"NO! I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!" She said loudly, fed up with his perversion.
"…but you already know what happens…"
"Just do it, dammit!" Shigure shrugged. Hey, if she wanted him to hug her, then why not? She was a high school girl, no?
Shigure smiled devilishly, and embraced her. The two stood in that hugging position for a couple minutes.
"WHAT THE HELL! YOU DAMN PERVERT!" The dog was soon found on the floor, rubbing his head as an angry Kyo fumed above him with a raised fist.
"Ag! You idiot! What'd you go and do that for!" Krystal shouted at him,
"He was taking advantage of you!"
"Was not! I asked him to hug me, you jerk!"
"…uh…" Kyo stumbled to find the right words to strike back at her but couldn't think of anything.
"ah…FINE! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!" He said, stomping out of the room. Krystal watched as he left.
"Ouch, Kyon-Kyon really does pack a punch! He is so cruel!" Shigure whined, getting up from the floor. His face turned serious, though.
"You didn't transform! Does it mean the curse broke?"
"No. I don't know what to think of it, but I doubt the curse would break randomly like this…oh but why don't you run along now before Kyo gets tired of eavesdropping on our conversation…"
A muffled curse could be heard by the door. Krystal sweat dropped.
"Right….okay then, I guess I'll talk to you later?" She walked to the door, waving as she exited.
"Hmmm, something isn't right….Did Akito do something this time? Only one way to find out…." Shigure reached for the phone.
Meanwhile…
Kyo heard Krystal's footstep's edging closer to his spot behind the door. He panicked, and spun around to run, but ended up tripping over himself and falling flat on his face.
"Well, what do we have here?" Krystal said in fake shock. Kyo cursed under his breath and sat up, brushing himself off.
"...uh…I got to go….train!" Kyo rushed off in a hurry down the hall and up the stairs.
"Yes what a great, believable excuse…" She commented, walking along the hallway.
So, the curse might not be broken after all. It does make a bit of sense, why would the curse randomly disappear? Oh no, what if something is wrong with me! What if Akito did something to me! But, can he do something like that? I DON'T KNOW!
"Krystal you look worn out!" Krystal looked up from her gaze on the floor to find her friend Jaime standing there with a plate of hot dogs. How'd I end up in the kitchen….?
She shrugged it off and looked down at the food before her.
"HOT DOGS!" She reached out to grab one but her hand was smacked away.
"Not until dinner!" Jaime declared, turning away from her friend.
"JAIMEEE! BUT ITS FOOOD! AMERICAN FOOD! I WANNA HAVE SOME! I NEEED SOME!"
"NO! GO DO SOMETHING ELSE, DINNER WILL BE DONE IN TEN MINUTES!"
Krystal huffed and walked out of the kitchen. Damn, that's just flat out cruel. Letting me smell those delicious hot dogs and then not even allowing me to have a bite!
"DAMMIT! OOF!" Krystal shook her head, looking up at the solid figure she walked into. Which happened to be none other than…
"DAMMIT YOU IDIOT RAT! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Krystal screamed, shoving him off to the side.
"How rude, maybe if you were paying attention to where you were going you wouldn't have bumped into me you stupid caa--……uh….stupid….stupid…" Yuki racked his brain for another noun to use for the girl before him.
"lame." Krystal sung as she walked away, rolling her eyes. Yuki sighed.
"Well at least I don't have to run into her again for now….hmm, what is that smell…?" Yuki walked over into the kitchen to investigate, while Krystal was pounding her way up the stairs.
"Who does that damn rat think he is, acting all superior! I hate him!" Krystal vented. She gritted her teeth, the image of the girly man popping into her thoughts. She shook them away rather violently.
"OOF! DAMMIT WHY DO I KEEP RUNNING INTO PEO…….ple…" Krystal stood there, looking up into the crimson red orbs of the orange haired male, he staring back as well.
"uh…..OUT OF MY WAY!" Krystal said, about to shove Kyo the way she did Yuki but was stopped. Kyo held her back with his hand, sighing deeply.
"Jeez, and I thought my temper was bad…." He mumbled.
"SHUT UP! AND GET OFF ME!" She yelled, ducking out of his grasp and backing away.
Kyo stared at her for a second, and then descended down the stairs. She watched silently as he left, leaving her in an empty hallway.
She let out a sigh of relief.
DING DONG!
Krystal jumped in shock and tripped at the top step, sending herself tumbling down to the bottom. She grunted and cursed the whole way down and finally crashed on the bottom with a final loud thud.
"AH KRYSTAL!" Jaime screeched, seeing her friend in a mess, and alarmed by the loud noises created by her when she fell.
Krystal looked up slowly, her hair in her face, and blew a few strands away.
"I'm fine." She stated flatly, wincing at a pain that had developed from the many new bruises all about her body.
"Hmph. See what happens when you don't watch where you're going?" Yuki commented, smugly.
"SHUT UP GIRLY MAN!"
DING DONG!
"Oh! I'll get it!" Jaime said, rushing to the door. She slid it open, revealing an older man, probably in his thirties, with short grey hair and kind grey eyes. He had on a brown kimono, and was rather handsome for his age. Yuki stared wide eyed.
"What the hell was all that noise!" Kyo asked annoyed as he stepped into the room. He smirked a little when he saw Krystal in a wreck on the floor, but froze at the sight of the peculiar man at the door.
"Sh..Shishou?" He asked surprised, a new light forming in his eyes. The man smiled calmly.
"Hello, Kyo. How have you been?" He asked softly, stepping inside. He looked over at Jaime who was still staring.
"Hello, I don't believe we have met before. I am Kazuma Sohma, also known as Kyo's adoptive father." The man said politely, bowing respectfully. Jaime blushed but returned the bow.
"Kazuma-san! It is a pleasure to met you!" She said happily, finally recognizing him from the anime.
"He nodded smiling and then turned over to where the other three teens stood…or sat in Krystal's case.
"Ah, Yuki, how have you been?"
"Just fine, Master."
"That is good to hear." Kazuma responded. He looked over at the girl who was still on the floor, fixing her hair. She looked up.
"Hello, Kazuma-san. A pleasure to meet you in person, now what brings you here?" Kazuma stared at her confused.
"Uh….pleasure as well, uhm, I am actually here to check up on Kyo. And Tohru, Shigure, and Yuki…"
"Oh…I see…" Krystal said, standing up finally. She looked over to where the novelist had just entered the room.
"Ah! Kazuma, long time no see?"
"Shigure! It has been long, how has your career been going?"
"So far so good, and you?"
"All is well at my dojo." Jaime walked over to him.
"Kazuma-san. Would you like to stay for dinner? I made hot dogs!"
"…hot dogs?"
"yes, its an American food! But not real dogs!"
"Oh, hahaha. Thank you." Jaime nodded and then rushed into the kitchen to prepare everything, Yuki went to help.
Krystal headed for the dining room and Kyo slowly made his way there as well.
"Shigure, I didn't know there were more girls living in this house!" Kazuma said in curiosity.
"Yes, well it is a long story, really. But not to fear, they know our secret and can be trusted." Shigure assured, and the two older men walked to the dining room.
Dinner was eventful. Yuki had a hard time eating the hot dog, and was confused about not using the chopsticks. He was the only one who had that hard a time, Kyo got the hang of it and ate five of them, Kazuma had two along with Shigure and complimented the chief (Jaime) for her wonderful cooking skills, much like Tohrus. Krystal ate it like she would any hot dog.
"Well, thank you very much for allowing me to stay for dinner, it was quite delicious." Kazuma said with a bow to them as they headed to the door.
"I will see you on your next visit to the dojo, Kyo." Kyo smiled wide and nodded.
"Oh Kazuma, mind if I talk to you just before you go back?" Shigure asked. Kazuma nodded. Shigure nudged Krystal to follow and she did so slightly unsure.
"Kazuma, as I said, the girls living with us, like Krystal here, know our secret. But Akito had found out and she went to see him. Though, now, whenever she hugs one of us zodiac we don't transform…" Shigure said regretfully.
Kazuma's eyes widened surprised.
"To make sure it isn't a fluke with her…would you mind, hugging her?"
Krystal blushed, Shigure waited eagerly, and Kazuma nodded.
"As long as she doesn't mind.." he said calmly. Krystal gulped but stepped forward. Then, wrapped her arms around the man as Shigure watched with interested eyes, and in the time span of a second a familiar BOOM sound was hear and black smoke filled the air.
Kazuma waved his hand to clear away the smoke, Shigure leaned closer to see what happened. When the black smoke did subside though, the two men looked down to find Krystal's belongings and to their surprise a small, black kitten with pink eyes looking quite dazed.
"Oh dear…" Shigure muttered, looking down at the small kitten as it rolled over and tried to balance on it's two legs.
"She turned into the cat!" Kazuma said blown away. Another cat, was it possible? If so, only trouble and grief could come from this.
"AH! HELP! HELP!" Called a tiny voice. The men watched as the kitten panicked, trying hard to stand on its hind legs, unsuccessfully.
"Krystal…" The cat looked up at Shigure, it's eyes wide in fear.
"Shigure! What am I?" She asked.
"….." The men exchanged looks before he responded.
"You're…a cat…"
Me: OOOOO SHE TURNED INTO A CAT!
Yuki: great now there will be another stupid cat to deal with….
Kyo: WHAT DID YOU SAY!
Me: He said Shishou is a fungus!
Kyo: WHAT!
Yuki: I DID NOT!
Me: Kyo! Get 'em! He dissed Shishou again!
Kyo: WHY YOU DAMN RAT! I'll TEACH YOU! WAH! –falls over to reveal Hatori standing behind him with a mysterious syringe-
Me: DAMMIT HATORI!
Yuki: Thank you, Hatori.
Hatori: It was only necessary….I had a head ache and Kyo's yelling wasn't making it any better…
Me: BUT WHY! MY POOR KYO! –runs over to the fallen cat and starts to pet his head of orange hair with care-
Yuki: How disturbing…
Hatori: -blinks and then sits down in chair with coffee-
Me: WHY! WHY!
Kyo: you know I aint dead…
Me: ….
Yuki: stupid author…
Me: SHUT UP YOU GIRLY DUDE! GO DIE YOU MOMMY HATES YOU!
Yuki: how can you be so MEAN! –runs away in tears-
Me: wow…his sensitive side is starting to kick in…"
Hatori: no, he accidentally took estrogen pills instead of testosterone pills…..
Me and Kyo: O.o
Hatori: he thought the pills would make him become more manly…but I gave him the wrong ones…
Yuki in background: WHY DO I HAVE BOOBS! AHHHH!
Kyo: you're sick
Hatori: I need to have my own fun once in a while….
Me: but that's just REALLY messed up….
Akito: oh, but it sounds good to me! Yuki! Let me play with you!
Me: GAH! EW! RAPIST! RAPIST! CALL THE ORAL SURGEON!
Kyo: what the hell would an oral surgeon do?
Me: …… SUPERMAN! SAVE ME!
Kyo: why don't you just push him out a window like last time?
Me: the insurance company refuses to fix any more damaged walls and windows…it sucks…really drains all the fun out of everything….
Hatori: not really, it just mean you wont be throwing us out of the random window…
Me: true…..
Akito: OBEY ME, MY PLAY TOY!
Yuki: BUT I HAVE BOOBS! SINCE WHEN DID I GET BOOBS? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE A MAN AND THEN HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!
Akito: Yes, yes I do….
Everyone: O.o
Me: AH SCREW IT! ONE PERVERTED RAPIST AND ANOTHER OVER FEMINEN MAN OUT THE WINDOW PRONTO! –pushes-
Yuki: -cries- Why me! Why of all people! My manliness was stolen from me!
Akito: but you are so sexy now...
Yuki: YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!
Hatori: hmmm…well there goes another window. I wonder how you'll get it fixed…
Me: -snaps fingers- all better!
Hatori: ….-goes back to coffee-
Kyo: can I go home yet?
Me: no
Kyo: when will I get home?
Me: when people read and review faster….
Kyo: damn you…OKAY PEOPLE HURRY THE HELL UP AND REVIEW ALREADY!
Me: well I am tired, goodnight!
Kyo: HEY DON'T LEAVE US HERE! WE ARE TIRED TOO!
Me: too bad, take the couch before Hatori does, good nighties!
Kyo: -sees hatori already claimed couch- damn you all….
