"Aniki, how long should we live like this?" A brown haired guy with a scar on his forehead known as Yuuta grieved while holding a pan of fried fish. Their small house made from wood and dry leaves, located far from the Seigaku main land where daily activities happen. In fact, the siblings lived their life by avoiding crowd and social life. They have a special reason to do this, and even Eiji didn't know about this.

"Dunno… why do you ask me anyway? Like I know the answer." A beautiful blue eyed guy with an angelic face answered his little brother as he sat down on a chair watering his cacti, and didn't seem to pay any attention.

"Who else should I ask to? Well… yesterday IT happened again! It's only a matter of time until Eiji find out about this, and I won't ever wish to see my Aniki commit suicide because of it!!" Yuuta dragged a chair and put himself right in front of his Aniki. His eyes opened wide, longed for a bit of attention from the careless boy.

"Gosh, Yuuta, it's not like you to worry upon unnecessary thing. How long we've been friends with Eiji? Why don't he found out about it since we were children?"

"I said it's just a matter of time!"

"Eiji is lonely. We are his only friends, and in the other hand he is our only friend. Even if he know…" Fuji didn't continue his line.

"Even if he know?"

"He wouldn't know. As long as we didn't let him hug us."

"But he glomped you from the back that time, when you said that embarrassment statement while he was still here. Honestly, I really surprised and afraid that time." 

"From the back, mind that. If he was in front of me and hugged me, you'll be crying upon my grave now." Fuji said calmly while a sweet smile rose on his lips. Yuuta could only sighed dealing with his difficult Aniki.

(flashback of yesterday's incident)

A girl was walking awkwardly over the forest, it seems that she was lost track. His expression looked confuse. Fuji saw her from far away when he was gathering medicinal herbs. Though at first he planned to run away, at last he felt pity towards the girl and decided to help her. (A/N: Damn! Wrong decision!!)

"Any problem I could help, Miss?" He asked politely. The girl suddenly blushed.

Fuji examined the short girl in front of him and nearly laughing out loud seeing the two braids which make her looks like a baka. And after he heard the girls' whiny voice, he realized that maybe this girl was truly a baka.

"Uhm… ano… my name is Sakuno." Damn, what a sexy guy I found. Lucky!!

"Sou, Sakuno-chan desu ka." Who asked your name anyway?

"Uhm…ano… where is the way to the city?" should make a plan, I can't let a cutie get away so easily.

"Huh? It's right in front of you." Fuji pointed a way right in front of Sakuno, for they can see a big wooden flat written 'THE WAY TO THE CITY' on it. Yappari, she's a baka after all.

"Uhm…ano…gomen…" Gosh, OMG, wrong start! I always get nervous near babes!

"Yes…??"

"Uhm…ano… ah… I can't stand it…" The last plan!  The girl pretended to be dizzy and fell on Fuji's comfort (N/A: Ahhhh!!! Jealous!!) chest on purpose.

Then…

A MAGIC!! white smoke appeared right after Fuji was hugged by the girl, and together with the sound 'PUSH', Fuji changed into a chicken!!

"COCK COCK COCK PETOK!!!" (The sound of Indonesian chicken. 'dangerous', ne??) The chicken chirped and flapped his wings hopelessly.

"Wha.. what the…." Sakuno almost fainted for real. "The sexy guy just before…"

"You've seen something you're not permitted to see." Another guy appeared from the depth of forest. He stared at the girl sadly. "I could do nothing but to do the thing that I hate."

"Who… who are you!?"  Sakuno asked in worry.

"Souma Yuuta is my name. We're the cursed Jyunishis of the Fruits Basket…  I mean of the Souma Family."

"SOUMA?? So.. you're that legendary Soumas?" Sakuno started to turn pale hearing that name. She used to think that the story about Souma family was only a legend, but now…

"Absolutely. The ordinary Souma Jyunishi would only transform into one of the Chinese Zodiacs if they're hugged by the opposite sex, but just the two of us, are the cursed Jyunishis. Chicken and Horse. We didn't even appear in the Fruits Basket TV series. But that's not the point. What I mean is, the cursed Jyunishis still transform even if the one that hug us come from the same sex, just like you did. So, I'm sorry mister, even if you're a man…"

"She's a girl, Baka… COCK PETOK!!" Fuji sighed.

"Oh, girl. Whatever. Man or girl, I still should erase your memory."

(End of flashback)

Fuji: "Eiji, I love you…" (blushed)

Eiji: "Nyaaaa!!?? Really?? YAAAAYYY!! I love Fuji as well!! (turn into chibi mode)

I love Fuji more than anything else in the world!! (Hug Fuji tight)

Fuji: "Wa…wait… Eiji…"

*White smoke appeared*

*Fuji turned into a chicken*

Eiji: "What?? Fuji is a chicken?? NOOO!!!! I hate chicken! (crying) MONSTER!! I hate you, monster!!"

Fuji: "E..Eiji… wait!! COCK COCK PETOK!!!"

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Fuji woke up and screamed in the middle of silent night. It's just a dream. He was breathing fast, still shocked of the nightmare he had just seen.. He remembered the first time he met Eiji. It's about 8 years ago, when they found Eiji crying in the forest. Yuuta and Fuji had only lived in Seigaku land for a week, after The leader of Souma Family, Souma Mizuki, dumped them. What? You're saying that the leader supposed to be Akito? Yes, it was Akito. But then he died due to his chronic leprosy, so his brother Mizuki took his place. What? You're asking me since when they're siblings? Well it's MY fic anyway!! SO JUST READ ON!! Anyway, Fuji and Yuuta asked the little Eiji to play together with them until evening. Then the night falls, and Eiji's parents finally found him. Since that day, Eiji visited Fuji and Yuuta very often. Later they found out that Eiji parents and sisters worked in the city, that's why they were very busy. Eiji was always home alone.

'Eiji'… that guy's name heard like a lullaby.

He gripped his blanket too tight but he didn't realize the pain. The pain in his heart much, much bigger than the pain on his palm. It's a cruel reality, after all. (A/N: Ooooo… let me licked your everything you sexy thing…)
