I do not own Fruit basket.

Enjoy!

Yuki and Kyo were running, why they were running was because Masal, Tohru friend made them realise the cold hard truth about what new years eve would be like for Tohru without her mother there by her side and were stupidly beating themselves up for listening to her when she insisted that they go back to the main house to celebrate new Years.

So they were running through the forest and straight to the house, they imagined Tohru sifting down probably crying to a picture of your dead mother.

How could they have been so stupid?

They both burst through the door.

Xisto was drinking tea with a laughing Tohru.

Oh, come on!

Xisto looked up to find both Yuki and Kyo were staring at him and he gave they a dazzling smile.

"Welcome back"

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

"XITSO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!?" Kyo exclaimed, glaring at the red head while Tohru was looking back and forth confused while Yuki covered his ears from Kyo outburst.

"Are you retarded? Can't you see I'm drinking tea with Tohru" Xisto said and a tick mark appeared on Kyo forehead.

"Xisto, we can see that," Yuki said, trying to cool down the situation before it could get out of hand. "But what he means is, why are you here is the first place, shouldn't you be at home, celebrating new years with your parents?" he asked.

Xisto put the cup down and said. "Well, my parents are barely home so New year is no different. I already said happy news years to everybody in advance this morning and since me and Tohru-chan are friends, I thought I should say happy New Years in person" getting a smile from Tohru.

"Since when did you become friends?" Yuki asked, raising an eyebrow, last time he checked, Xisto was treating Tohru like she doesn't exist or just like any other girl, he know that this behaviour must have been due to the memory erase performed by Hatori.

"Great, you just keep coming back like flies" Kyo grumbled, not realising it was loud enough for Xisto hear.

"What do you mean, I keep coming back?" Xisto asked with a puzzled face.

Yuki wacked Kyo over the head with a book. "Forgive this idiot. He just says whatever comes into his head" while Kyo went to nurse his injury.

"O-okay..." Xisto said, unsure before letting it go and smiling again. "Well I originally wanted to wish her Happy New Year and then I saw you guys and another man leave the house leaving poor Tohru behind. Are you crazy? You never leave a lady alone on New Year's eve so I did what you guys didn't and step in and me and Tohru were going to stay up and do the new year's countdown together."

Yuki and Kyo felt defeated for some reason and irritated, that a guy like him was lecturing them on their mistake.

"But now that your here and it doesn't look like you're going to disappear any minute. Let's stay up and say new years together!" Xisto exclaimed, clasping Tohru hand together and was immediately separated by both boys which caused Xisto to pout. "Anyway, I'll be with Tohru-chan all the way" smiling and moving Tohru to tears.

"and so will we," Both Boys said, ruining the moment that could have been with a gleam in their eyes.

Xisto suddenly feared for his life.

#Sun rise on the roof#

"Uh? HANA-CHAN?" Tohru exclaimed.

"Hana-chan is Tohru-chan friend, right?" Xisto asked, remembering one of the girls, he wouldn't dare to hit on due to pure fear, he was ignored by both.

"We bumped into her along the way," Yuki said.

Hana-chan...I'll call you first when the New Years arrive...Tohru thought. "oh, but...is it really okay if you two don't return to the Sohma Main house? To make me happy... you went through so much trouble." she said with concern.

"It's okay it'll be all right as long as we send them a new year's greeting within the first few days," Yuki said.

Probably...Both Yuki and Kyo thought, thinking about the two people that would no doubt be seething at the moment.

"Oh, look the sun rising" Xisto pointed. "Is it still a tradition in Japan that you make one wish? like in Poland" he asked.

"Do you know what you want to wish for?" Tohru asked, with a smile and practically glowing, making both, Yuki and Kyo cheeks colour... they heard a click and both of them turned around to see Xisto with his phone out.

"This one is defiantly going to become my new year's screen saver," Xisto said, smirking and moving away before both of them could grab his phone and delete the picture, "Oh, look about ten girls just texted me happy new years."

DIE.

Ch 5: The appearance of Hatsuharu Sohma.

"It seems your getting rather close to that Tohru girl," Xisto mother asked, her voice cold. "It's rear for an outsider to be included in the family secret"

"True, mother but Tohru is special, I get the feeling like she's there to soothe all pain, like a mother" Xisto answered, his usual smile was nowhere to be seen, his voice just as cold as his mothers while he was feeding a Mouse to his pet Serpent, the mouse was letting out squeals of terror.

"Are you getting closer to the other Zodiac members?" this time it was his father, who's eyes had strayed from the morning newspaper.

"Not yet, the mouse and the cat seem defensive at the moment and have yet to trust me but giving the right opportunity, the will accept me," Xisto said as if certain an opportunity will arise.

"And do they suspect a thing?" His father asked.

"No, they still think I'm a normal person" Xisto said "However it seems like the members I've met so far get a rush of familiarity, the smarter one's like the dog may figure out, the feeling, comes from their Zodiac animals and wonder what my connection is to the spirits but I highly doubt their memories will come back" Xisto admitted, the worse case scenario would be if they suddenly started seeing a series of confusing images but he's checked with the Mouse and Cat, secretly, of course, those memories are locked up tight.

" And what about the endurance run tomorrow?" His mother asked.

"I have a feeling that I would meet another Zodiac member tomorrow, it's just a hunch," Xisto said, eating some more toast while his parents exchanged looks, of course, he would have to run at the same level as the Cat and mouse to be able to catch, Hatsuharu.

Hatsuharu was by far his favourite Fruit basket character, for many reasons.

"Just make sure, your careful" His mother said, with no hint of concern in her voice.

"Of course, mother"

# Endurance run#

Yuki coughed, he felt really bad today, not for the first time did he think he should have stayed home, he wasn't oblivious to the stares he was getting and the whispers that were commenting on his tall slender legs.

"Yuki-kun, are you okay," Tohru asked with concern, oblivious to the glares she was getting, today, Tohru know this was defiantly not the day, Yuki should be doing this kind of run.

"It's fine" Yuki smiled "And besides if I stay at home, someone would have a hissy fit" Tohru sweat dropped at seeing Kyo glaring and Hissing in their direction.

"What a wonderful day to have a run," A voice said from behind and they all turned to find Xisto in his PE kit, soaking wet.

WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WET!?

You could clearly see the muscle underneath which had a lot of girls whispering and giggling to each other and he winked at a group of giggling girls while the Guys where either glaring or sweat dropping.

"Good morning Tohru-chan," Xisto said, seeing Tohru as a small rabbit, causing more girls to glare in Tohru direction before being shut up by Masal and her waves.

"Good morning, Xisto-kun" Tohru replied, things weren't exactly the same as before but it was getting there.

"Tohru-chan, do you best. I'll be rooting for you!" Xisto said, beaming with energy.

"T-Thank you" Tohru stuttered before getting pulled away by Kyo, who had watched long enough.

Kyo eyes changed colour when he saw Yuki. "Let's battle" chuckling darkly under his breath while Yuki sighed.

"Okay all the guys come this way" A male teacher shouted and they all began to gather around him.

"bye, Tohru-chan" Xisto waved which she waved back.

All the boys were placed on one track, the look in Kyo eyes was getting worse by the minute as many inched away from the crazy orange head.

The teacher himself tried not to sweat dropped and got out a blank gun, they all braced themselves.

The gun was shot and they ran.

Yuki and Kyo immediately took the lead with Xisto behind them, he got cheers from his fan club as he passed them and want to catch up with the speeding pair, creating more distance with him and the other none Zodiac people.

"I'm going to win!" Kyo laughed.

Yuki coughed. "Shut up"

"You know it's crazy that you're running so fast in a race like this right," A third voice said and they almost tripped over themselves when they saw who was beside them.

Xisto Valentine.

The guy seemed to be running like he taking a casual walk in the park.

"You two and your competitive edge is going to land one of you in the hospital some day, you know," Xisto said, smiling and Kyo glared, wondering how the guy was running their speed when nobody who wasn't a family member could and Yuki was wondering the same.

"How the hell, are you keeping up with us?" Kyo asked while Yuki narrowed his eyes.

"You mean the speed," Xisto said. "well while I was young, my parents hired a lot of tutors and one of them was a runner and let's just say, I'm quite famous in Poland" a complete lie but Yuki and Kyo didn't know that.

Suddenly Xisto started sweating after they reached a certain mark and he began to slow down.

To Yuki and Kyo it was understandable, after all even if Xisto could keep up, there was no way, he had to stamina to keep it up, after all, Xisto was just an ordinary person.

A rope came out of nowhere and Kyo who was in the lead tripped over it and slammed head first onto the floor.

Yuki slowed down, thankful that he just narrowly escaped that while Tohru went to check if Kyo was okay, Xisto wants to see what was happening and was following Yuki.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, IDIOT! IT TOOK ME THIS MUCH EFFORT PASSING YUKI!" the enraged voice was no doubt Kyo who was pissed.

"if I didn't do that you wouldn't have stopped," another voice said, completely different from the rest and they all turned to find an extremely beautiful white haired teenager.

"Hatsu-san?"

At that moment, both Fanboy Xisto and fangirl Sarah were united as one.

Xisto managed to shut out, the fanboy and girl screams that were fighting hard to get out at the sight of his favourite character and asked. "You must be a Sohma, right?" reminding everyone he was still there.

Tohru, Kyo and Yuki both froze with a look that said, they had completely forgotten about him.

Meanwhile, Hatsuharu turned to him with a look of concentration and asked. "Have we met before?"

YOU TOO!?

Yuki and Kyo stared at their cousin, they honestly thought it was just them and the family doctor who felt a sense of familiarity with the red head.

"No, we haven't," Xisto said and went to introduce himself. "My name is Xisto Valentine, nice to meet you and you?" he asked.

" Hatsuharu Sohma" Harsu replied, honestly surprised that they hadn't met before, he was sure they had met.

"Well, Hatsu-kun, what are you doing way out here?" Xisto asked, getting straight to the point.

"Well, I came on Sunday. I'm not sure how I got here...by the time I woke up, 3 days had mysteriously passed..." Hatsu replied.

"So in other words you got lost," Yuki said while Tohru went to help Kyo with his wound.

"Yuki-chan, who's that girl" Hatsu had been wondering for a while.

"Meet Tohru Honda." Yuki said and Hatsu politely introduced himself to her.

"So why are you here?" Kyo asked once he regained his dignity.

"For a duel" Hatsu replied like it was the simplest thing in the world and he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"Do they do this often?" Xisto asked, once again reminding Yuki and Tohru he was still there and making them slightly nervous.

"Hey, Kyo I think-" Yuki was cut off when Hatsu head butted Kyo. "it's too late" while Xisto and Tohru started to sweat a bit.

"Stop stalling..." Hatsu eyes turned a darker shade and they were full of malice. "If you're a real man, let's fight little cat"

Black Hatsu.

Hell yes!

"Time to die"

"No don't die!" Tohru shouted while Xisto could only watch stunned speechless while he was squealing inwardly and resisted the urge to get Dark Hatsu autograph.

Kyo had begun fighting back and it became a martial arts fight while Tohru trying to stop the fight, Xisto pretty much began snapping photos, because who was he kidding, he was never going to see a fight like this again.

Yuki wanted to sweat drop at Xisto lack of concern before Hatsu came over and tried to seduce him which got Xisto taking pictures like crazy and also record the actual dialogue.

Because this was a Yaoi moment, damn it!

The fight only lasted a couple more minutes before Yuki finally collapsed and started coughing really bad which stopped the fight and Hatsu want to check on Yuki and covered Hatsu with his coat.

"Should I call a taxi?" Xisto asked, with concern.

"No" Hatsu replied, "he's currently unstable at the minute and would be difficult" remembering there was an outsider here.

"I want to help!" Tohru said, with conviction, she was willing to do anything.

Hatsu stared at Tohru.

"you're really cute so this might work"

"Huh?" Tohru said in confusion.

"if I'm going to transform, It might as well be somebody cute" and that was all Tohru got before she was pulled into a hug.

Hatsu just barely saw Xisto before smoke appeared.

SHIT! Kyo thought, again this guy was going to find out their secret for a second time.

Xisto eyes widened to see a cow where Hatsu used to be standing but before he could say anything, he was asked to help get Yuki on top of cow Hatsu.

# Shigure house#

Shigure was currently laughing his ass off at the sight of a cow in his living room accompanied Kyo, Tohru.

"Can someone tell me, why Harsu turned into a cow?" Xisto said, reminding everyone he was still here.

Shigure turned to Kyo with a look, that said, how did this happen again?

"I don't know why but I'm actually taking the whole transforming person better than I should, right now. Can someone please tell me what's going on?" Xisto asked with a smile.

Should they erase his memory again or tell him a lie?

It was a hard choice.

And scene!

Just how will things go from here and will they finally let him in on the Sohma family secret? I Highly doubt that but what will Xisto do, if they decide to 'erase' his memories again? Will he act like he did the first time or will he refuse to go back to square one? Review/Fav and follow!
