It's time for *drumroll*
OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMERS!!
*crowd cheers*
Here's where I pretend to be an annoying 15 year old yaoi fan girl and talk to myself and imaginary characters for a good 600 words or so about nothing important what so ever! Oh yes, I'm also supposed to say, "this fic sucks, but please read it anyway and leave me lots of nice fuzzy bunny comments. Just don't leave flames, even if I deserve them."

Oh, silly me. I'm also supposed to write with horrid grammar and spelling and sexually pair characters in a way that makes me look like a total idiot. Well, it's after 5am and I had an exam so I can't be perfect today (Notice the obligatory reference to personal problems that no one really cares about. And yes, the word of the day is "obligatory" because it's just that fun to say). Right Yuki?
*insert obligatory imaginary character response here*

The current trend in Furuba writing seems to be "chapters" of fewer than 500 words or so. Purportedly (hmm, might need a dictionary to understand that word), the Furuba fan fiction fan base (oo, tongue twister!) has A.D.D. (attention deficit disorder) and can't tolerate anything longer. Of course, our attention span for long, completely pointless disclaimers is infinite!

I'm also supposed to upload only a few chapters and never finish the story, even if it's total length is only 2000 words. I'm such a bad fanfic writer; I'll have to break that rule. At least I'm good enough to not have finished writing the story yet!

Anyway, onto the *real* disclaimers:

Author: Asane Hime (himechan2b@yahoo.com)
Title: Ring Around the Collar
Warnings: Het, bestiality, implied sex, humor
Couples: EbichuxYuki, Goshujin-samaxBoyfriend
Archived: http://megroad.scp.rochester.edu/~himechan (when I get around to it) and FFnet
Disclaimers: I don't own Fruits Basket, Ebichu, or any of the characters. Resemblances to any Fruits Basket or Ebichu characters are completely noncoincidental. But seriously, I do own the story written here. This was written out of love and respect for the series and revenge for all the bad Furuba yaoi fics on the web so please don't sue this poor grad student's tooshi
Notes: This was a strange idea that popped into my head while discussing random animal pairings of Furuba characters on a FruityGroup ML poll with Mona. Thanks to Mona for writing inspiring lemon scenes between Goshujin and her boyfriend for me. This fic is unbetaed. Praise begged for and constructive criticism also welcome! Flames are subject to public stoning, followed by a tar and feathering if I'm in the mood.

Yay! I reached my goal. Disclaimers = 440 words, Page 1 = 220 words. Go me!

Ring Around the Collar Page 1

It was a beautiful spring day and the cherry blossoms scattered in the breeze creating a lush pink carpet throughout the busy city streets. It was also a good day for revenge. Yuki had enough of Ayame; the man had bothered them in their peaceful home far too often the past few weeks - well, peaceful if you ignored Yuki's constant fighting with Kyou - and had made a revolting habit of hitting on Touru every chance he got. Today, it was all going to end. Today, Yuki would have his revenge.

Yuki had been scheming for days how he would put an end to his brother's snake-like ways. It wasn't until that morning that he awoke with a sudden solution to all his problems. He grabbed his wallet and rushed to the door. It was so soon after awaking that most of the household was left speechless because Yuki was, if anything, *not* a morning person. Touru managed a stunned stuttering of "where is Yuki-kun going" before he was completely out the front door.

Yuki paused and without moving his body, turned his head to look at Touru with an evil gleam in his eye and malicious grin and whispered, "the mall." Touru was frozen in shock and didn't even see him leave.
