Disclaimer: I own NOTHING!!! Do you hear me NOTHING!!!!!!!
A/N: Hey, Hey!!! Did ya like that really cheap prologue? I swear I've never written anything so lame in my life! Sorry for not updating sooner, just that the next day (after uploading the story) I came down with a really bad case of the flu. I was sick for five days!!! (though I got to miss out on school ^_^) At one stage they thought I had diabetes! I have had my ears, eyes, mouth and lungs (breathing with the stethoscope) checked over three times; my stomach felt over (to check my internal organs); two urine tests (YUK!); two finger pricks (used to check blood sugar level); and a blood test! Yeah, you could say I've been through tests galore. So there's my wondrous week, please enjoy this chappie. Here are the names again.
Names:
Ushi-san (cow) - Claire
Saru-san (monkey) - Bianca
Neko-san (cat) - Belinda
Inu-san (dog) - Stephanie (Steph) (hehee that's me!)
Hitsuji-san (sheep) - Lisa
Hebi-san (snake) - Jessica
Tora-san (tiger) - Natalie
Usagi-san (rabbit) - Ann-maree
Nezumi-san (mouse) - Isabelle (Izzy)
Inoshishi-san (wild boar) - (oops, no one got the Inoshishi ^_^")
Tatsu-san (dragon) - Carissa (Tatsu is another name for dragon, I'm more use to this way of saying it instead of Ryuu, Okay?)
~Oh, and here's another example of a pairing (if you still don't understand). Claire is the cow. Like Hatsuharu (who is the cow), when she is normal she's a bit dull in her attitude towards things (well not really, she actually is very fun to be with ^_^ Sorry Claire! I'm not saying you're boring, trust me!) but when she gets angry she does in fact go and strangles that person (especially last year, though not so much this year) So in a way there are two sides to her, just like Hatsuharu.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Chapter 2:
Neko wa dokoni imasuka? (Where is the cat?)
Everyone sat around the Kotatsu (gotta love those tables!) awaiting dinner. Bianca lay in Tohru's bed upstairs sleeping away her sickness. Hatori had fixed her up and she had transformed back into a human (don't worry, all men left the room when she changed back and Lisa and Natalie had dressed her; nothing perverted whatsoever. You better thank me for that Bianca! I could have been really mean *smiles evilly*). Ayame was also there. He refused to stay back when he heard what was happening and told Hatori he would 'behave' if he could come along.
"So... what are you?" Jessica asked Hatori, referring to his Jyuunishi form. (Jessica and Carissa have not seen 'Fruits Basket' yet so they don't know who's who. Well...neither has Claire, Bianca, Lisa, Natalie or Ann- maree, so...um...yeah, though they do have a brief idea, like the four main- like characters - Tohru, Kyou, Yuki and Shigure, they pretty much know them.)
Hatori blinked, "Do you mean what animal I am?"
"Uh...Yeah."
"I'm the dragon," he stated plainly.
"WHAT!" Carissa screamed, "No offence okay, but you're...how should we say... 'boring', Inu-san how the hell did you match me up with this guy?! Are you saying that I'm BORING! No offence okay?" she asked Hatori who told her that none was taken.
"Well...uh...you see," Steph sweat dropped, "You, Hebi-san and me have been friends since primary school, longer than we've been friends with the others, and it seemed to make better sense, that is after I became the dog and Jess, I mean, Hebi-san the snake, that you be the dragon, seeing as those three have been friends since they were young." Steph finished her explanation, pointing to the three adults.
"Good, cause I'm am NOT boring," she folded her arms, still angry.
"Ah! So you're the snake!" Ayame screamed with joy at discovering who was the snake and bounded over to Jessica, "It must be because you contain my intelligence, beauty, charisma, style, appeal..." and he continued on and on and on and on... Everybody in the room (except for Ayame himself and Shigure; who could be found doing an outrageous speech of his own to Stephanie when he found out she was the dog) just sweat dropped and Hatori could be found massaging his temple, trying to prevent the incoming headache from forming.
"Bloody hell! Just SHUT UP!" Kyou screamed, he too was getting a headache from Ayame and Shigure's nonsense. He got up and ran to the roof.
'Ah, peace and quiet,' Kyou thought to himself as he lay on the roof of the house, gazing up at the starry night. It was clear and the moon only a sliver of ghostly white light. His arms folded neatly behind his matted orange hair, a sigh of relief escaping his throat. Ten minutes passed when he heard someone climbing to the roof. An unfamiliar head pooped up, it was one of those new girls.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot that you come up here," then she began descending.
"No, wait. It's ok," Kyou called sitting up. He was interested why she would come up here, it seemed unlikely for girls to just go climb on a roof.
"Okay," she climbed shyly onto the roof and sat down next to him, "I just had the urge to go some place high, I don't know why." A hand placed behind her head in and embarrassed manner, "I was upset because Tohru served leek soup for dinner mainly because of Saru-san, I really hate leek, it's absolutely disgusting! (oh and Belinda doesn't like leek that much in real life anyway ^_^) I wanted to go off but then this urge to go somewhere high came along and I thought I'd go on the roof." By the time she finished she had turned bright red due to embarrassment.
'I wonder if she could be...' Kyou couldn't finish his thought when there was a *poof* and a cute, sandy, little Burmese cat sat next to him in a pile of clothes. He gaped in surprise, "So there is a cat? And you're it?" more a statement than a question.
"Uh...yeah," *poof* and Belinda was back in human form, hurriedly putting on her clothes (and yes of course, Kyou turned around, don't worry, I wouldn't do that to you Belinda, though I suggest you don't provoke me *smiles evilly yet again*).
"I didn't think there would be a cat," Kyou said mainly to himself, then asked her, "So...what makes you like me?" (as in personality, what do they share in common)
"Well," Belinda said enthusiastically, "I absolutely LOVE martial arts!"
"I see. So what's your real name? Neko-san doesn't sound right to me"
"Oh, sorry, I'm Belinda," she told him, smiling.
"So Belinda, how would you like to train with me? I could teach you a move or two," Kyou offered.
"Yeah thanks, that would be great!" Seeing as they couldn't really go down for dinner, due to what it was, they spent most of the night doing martial arts. Kyou felt pretty happy to be with Belinda, he found someone he could relate to. Tohru understood him but couldn't relate to him but he found himself smiling like he would with her.
"Hey, you know what would be fun?" Belinda said about two hours before dawn.
"What?" asked Kyou.
An evil smile played across Belinda's face as she whispered her idea into Kyou's ear, an evil smile breaking across his face too.

Yuki walked into the dining area, fury filling his face. Shigure looked up from the morning paper at the angry boy. Only he, Carissa, Stephanie, Jessica, Kyou, Hatori, Tohru, Belinda and Yuki were awake (that's right, they all slept over). Everyone else was still asleep in Tohru's room.
"Yuki, What's wrong?" he asked.
"The garden... The one me and Tohru have been working on... it's ruined... Who would do such a thing?" Yuki was practically in shock; it must have looked really bad.
Outside stifled giggles could be heard. Kyou was teaching Belinda some new moves when Yuki had started his little screaming session. It was in fact they who had sabotaged the garden. "Wonderful idea to get back at that Kuso Nezumi! I congratulate you on your fine idea!" Kyou said loudly to Belinda while shaking her hand in a business-like mocking style then resuming their laughing like mad men.
Shigure heard the laughter and speech, just like everyone else, from the two and realised what had happen and couldn't help but laugh along. In three minutes everyone but Hatori and Tohru was laughing at Yuki who couldn't believe what was happening. He couldn't beat up the cat for two reasons: 1) It wasn't his idea even though he contributed and 2) He couldn't beat him up in front of all the girls, what would they think? In the end he just walked out, heading towards his room muttering 'Baka Neko' under his breath as the laughter continued to grow in volume and fill the whole house.
"Gure-san, what was my darling brother muttering about? And what's so funny? Are you keeping something from me?! Oh, how could you?" Ayame cried dramatically as he entered the room.
"Oh Aya! How could you think such a thing? You're the only one for me and I would never keep anything from my one and only Aya!" Shigure cried just as dramatically back, their conversation disturbing all the girls (excluding Tohru, who should be used to it).
"Would you two just stop, can't you see there are decent minds present," Hatori interrupted, and with that they stopped and Shigure just filled Ayame in on what actually happened.
"Oh no, my darling brother must be devastated! I should go comfort him in his time of need!" So he ran up the stairs to Yuki's room only to be confronted with a stuck sliding door (due to many heavy objects preventing Ayame in particular from entering) and some angry yelling from the occupant in the room.
Coming back down stairs Ayame announces to everyone "It seems I shall be staying over for some time, I must give my poor darling brother my wondrous support, if it's ok with you Gure-san," he gave him a smile and a wink disturbing everyone once again. "Oh Tori-san!" he then bounded next to Hatori, "Would you be able to give me a lift? I need to pack some clothes from home; I couldn't possibly stay in the same clothes all the time, now could I! Unless someone could lend me some clothes. Ne Tori-san? Would you lend me..."
"We'll be back in an hour," Hatori interrupted, he couldn't possibly lend Ayame clothes, never! He also needed to pick up some medicines for Bianca's condition (which I do not know what it is because I'm a lazy author and can't be bothered thinking up one!).
If this was a cheesy cartoon a light bulb would have appeared above Belinda's head, but this is a GOOD ANIME so it didn't; though Belinda did come up with another wonderfully naughty idea, which she did whisper once again in Kyou's ear. Both snickered quietly and left to look for a scarecrow. (What the? What's with the scarecrow? Hey, these naughty ideas were actually Otsukimi-Neko-Sama's ideas, in other words, Belinda really did make them up, I'm just the writer. If you must know I do have their [my friends] permission to write about them and what to write about them so I'm not that bad!)
~ ~ ~ ~ page break ~ ~ ~ ~
It had been another three days with everyone in the house, all proper names were known but the nicknames still confused the others. Ann-maree and Izzy were sitting at the table chatting away with Tohru.
"...and Tora-san's really worried about Saru-san, Hatori's had to change her medicine twice because it caused her to become delirious!" Izzy stated.
"Why's Kisa-san worried? What's wrong with Rit-chan-san?" Tohru asked confused (What's up with Tohru calling Ritsu Rit-chan-san, you can't give him two titles! Just pick either -chan or -san!).
"No Tohru, where talking about Natalie and Bianca," Ann-maree explained.
"Oh."
"Also," Izzy continued, "Ushi-san said Neko-san's been sneaking off, she said she saw her with a scarecrow!"
"Oh, why is Kyou-kun sneaking off with a scarecrow? Is he planning to start a garden?" Tohru asked again, still obviously confused.
"Maybe you should just use your real names, it would be so much easier," Shigure offered as he also sat at the table, folding out his newspaper to read.
"Might as well, this was just getting annoying," with that Izzy went to inform everyone else, passing Ayame at the door.
"If anyone's looking for me I'll be in the bath," he then went prancing up the stairs (just like him to announce such a thing, ne?). Kyou had heard this from the kitchen. He quickly placed the milk carton back in the fridge and went to look for Belinda.
Kyou found her in Tohru's room helping Hatori with Bianca. "Oi, Belinda, come on!" he gestured her out of the room.
"What is it?" she asked, "Are we ready to begin?"
Kyou just nodded his head and smirked. It was pretty mean but would be so satisfying just to see the look on that annoying snake's face. Slowly and silently they sneaked to Shigure's room where Ayame and Hatori were sleeping. Then they began searching through the pink, frilly backpack that was obviously Ayame's.
"What the hell is this stuff!" Kyou declared in disbelief as he took out a pair of matching red nighties, practically see through (mind you they were made for women!), laced and frilled at the edges. He flung it across the room as fast as he could, not wanting to touch them. By the end of the search they found what they were looking for. The clothes that Ayame usually wears (you know! Those ones on the show!). They placed it in a garbage bag, wiped their hands (which felt dirty from touching such things that were in the now 'forbidden bag') and left outside the house just as Ayame found his clothes hurled to all corners of the room (also he's already dressed, he got dressed in the bathroom straight after his bath).
"OH MY GOSH! WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL MY BEAUTIFIL CLOTHES!!!!!" he screamed, scrambling around and putting away all his precious clothes, "OH NO SOME ARE MISSING!" He dashed ('dashed' *raises eyebrow* you've got to be kidding me) around the house in search for the missing garments. When he got to the balcony he heard two people laughing. Looking out towards Yuki's devastated garden he knew his search was over. There were his beloved clothes...on a SCARECROW! The scarecrow was made to look like Ayame. Long strands of painted white straw stuck down from its head, the clothes fit perfectly and a face was even drawn. Both Kyou and Belinda looked towards the house and saw Ayame, wide-eyed, on the balcony. Belinda lit a match and then lit the end of the stick Kyou was holding. He waved the stick towards Ayame, then towards the clothes, the smile became bigger on his face.
"NO!!!!!!!" Ayame screamed, then ran as fast as he could trying to get there in time, hoping to be able to save the clothes before they could be burned.
Kyou lit the scarecrow and watched it burn with Belinda, then walked back to the house to await Ayame's return as well as his reaction.
Ayame passed them halfway down the track. The smell of burnt fabric wafted off their own clothes. 'They didn't, they wouldn't,' he told himself, then let out a girlish, high-pitched scream as he watched the material curling into black ash on the ground next to the destroyed remains of the garden. He sobbed there to himself for ten minutes until a girl came there and began rolling in the muddy contents of the garden.
"I must get CLEAN!" she sang happily, "A mud bath will do me good!" She squirmed and wriggled, getting dirtier by the second. Ayame just watched in amazement, what was she doing? "La, la, la, la, la," she sang then giggled hysterically.
"There you are," came Hatori monotonous voice as he put her over one shoulder, "Looks like I'll have to change your medicine again," he said, now making his way back to the house, dripping with mud and Bianca somehow asleep over his shoulder. (don't worry she isn't really this demented, she's just delusional in the story cause she's sick and Hatori can't get her medicine right!)
Ayame blinked in confusion, then he too went back to the house holding his beloved clothes that were now ashes. When he arrived he was greeted and sympathised be Shigure while everyone in the room (including Yuki of course), once again except for Tohru (Hatori isn't in the room, his upstairs experimenting a new medicine on Bianca) and this time Shigure, laughed their heads off. Then the rain began. The laughing stopped and a groggy looking Kyou and Belinda made their way inside but Ayame was standing in the doorway.
"How could you," he sobbed, "Though, as revenge for the burning of my beautiful clothes, I sentence you to three hours in the rain," and he slammed the door in their faces, locking it on the inside. Everyone was shocked by his actions but didn't do or say a thing about it.
"Damn that Ayame!" declared Kyou shivering.
*POOF*
*POOF*
Two cats, one orange and one a sandy colour emerged from the pile of clothes that now lay on the ground. Both soaked to the bone (the rain was very heavy and cold) and growling low in the throat.
"Damn this rain!" Belinda muttered angrily through gritted, chattering teeth.
Shigure and Ayame watched the two cats muttering, through a crack in the sliding door, while trying to control the laughter that tried to break out. (Imagine two soaked cats in the rain looking like this -_- I find that funny ^_^)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Well how was it?! Did ya like it? Reviews are very much welcomed and appreciated, so don't hesitate to review, okay? It's not as rushed as the first (still rushed though) so it's still not that great in my opinion. I'll probably make my chappies like this. By basing it on a certain animal (eg. cats - Belinda and Kyou, cows - Claire and Hatsuharu, mice - Isabelle and Yuki). Ideas are welcome too to anyone who has something good to share. Anyways Arigatou! Please R&R, Jyane minnasan! (see you everyone!)

Sorry for not updating sooner, just that the next day (after uploading the story) I came down with a really bad case of the flu. I was sick for five days!!! (though I got to miss out on school ^_^) At one stage they thought I had diabetes! I have had my ears, eyes, mouth and lungs (breathing with the stethoscope) checked over three times; my stomach felt over (to check my internal organs); two urine tests (YUK!); two finger pricks (used to check blood sugar level); and a blood test! Yeah, you could say I've been through tests galore. So there's my wondrous week, please enjoy this chappie. Here are the names again.

Like Hatsuharu (who is the cow), when she is normal she's a bit dull in her attitude towards things (well not really, she actually is very fun to be with ^_^ Sorry Claire! I'm not saying you're boring, trust me!) but when she gets angry she does in fact go and strangles that person (especially last year, though not so much this year) So in a way there are two sides to her, just like Hatsuharu.

Chapter 2:

Everyone sat around the Kotatsu (gotta love those tables!) awaiting dinner. Bianca lay in Tohru's bed upstairs sleeping away her sickness.

"Bloody hell! Just SHUT UP!" Kyou screamed, he too was getting a headache from Ayame and Shigure's nonsense. He got up and ran to the roof.
'Ah, peace and quiet,' Kyou thought to himself as he lay on the roof of the house, gazing up at the starry night. It was clear and the moon only a sliver of ghostly white light. His arms folded neatly behind his matted orange hair, a sigh of relief escaping his throat. Ten minutes passed when he heard someone climbing to the roof.

"I see. So what's your real name? Neko-san doesn't sound right to me"
"Oh, sorry, I'm Belinda," she told him, smiling.
"So Belinda, how would you like to train with me? I could teach you a move or two," Kyou offered.
"Yeah thanks, that would be great!" Seeing as they couldn't really go down for dinner, due to what it was, they spent most of the night doing martial arts.

"OH MY GOSH! WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL MY BEAUTIFIL CLOTHES!!!!!" he screamed, scrambling around and putting away all his precious clothes, "OH NO SOME ARE MISSING!" He dashed ('dashed' *raises eyebrow* you've got to be kidding me) around the house in search for the missing garments. When he got to the balcony he heard two people laughing. Looking out towards Yuki's devastated garden he knew his search was over. There were his beloved clothes...on a SCARECROW! The scarecrow was made to look like Ayame. Long strands of painted white straw stuck down from its head, the clothes fit perfectly and a face was even drawn. Both Kyou and Belinda looked towards the house and saw Ayame, wide-eyed, on the balcony. Belinda lit a match and then lit the end of the stick Kyou was holding. He waved the stick towards Ayame, then towards the clothes, the smile became bigger on his face.
"NO!!!!!!!" Ayame screamed, then ran as fast as he could trying to get there in time, hoping to be able to save the clothes before they could be burned.
Kyou lit the scarecrow and watched it burn with Belinda, then walked back to the house to await Ayame's return as well as his reaction.
Ayame passed them halfway down the track. The smell of burnt fabric wafted off their own clothes. 'They didn't, they wouldn't,' he told himself, then let out a girlish, high-pitched scream as he watched the material curling into black ash on the ground next to the destroyed remains of the garden. He sobbed there to himself for ten minutes until a girl came there and began rolling in the muddy contents of the garden.
"I must get CLEAN!" she sang happily, "A mud bath will do me good!" She squirmed and wriggled, getting dirtier by the second. Ayame just watched in amazement, what was she doing? "La, la, la, la, la," she sang then giggled hysterically.
"There you are," came Hatori monotonous voice as he put her over one shoulder, "Looks like I'll have to change your medicine again," he said, now making his way back to the house, dripping with mud and Bianca somehow asleep over his shoulder. (don't worry she isn't really this demented, she's just delusional in the story cause she's sick and Hatori can't get her medicine right!)
Ayame blinked in confusion, then he too went back to the house holding his beloved clothes that were now ashes. When he arrived he was greeted and sympathised be Shigure while everyone in the room (including Yuki of course), once again except for Tohru (Hatori isn't in the room, his upstairs experimenting a new medicine on Bianca) and this time Shigure, laughed their heads off. Then the rain began. The laughing stopped and a groggy looking Kyou and Belinda made their way inside but Ayame was standing in the doorway.
"How could you," he sobbed, "Though, as revenge for the burning of my beautiful clothes, I sentence you to three hours in the rain," and he slammed the door in their faces, locking it on the inside. Everyone was shocked by his actions but didn't do or say a thing about it.
"Damn that Ayame!" declared Kyou shivering.
*POOF*
*POOF*
Two cats, one orange and one a sandy colour emerged from the pile of clothes that now lay on the ground. Both soaked to the bone (the rain was very heavy and cold) and growling low in the throat.
"Damn this rain!" Belinda muttered angrily through gritted, chattering teeth.
Shigure and Ayame watched the two cats muttering, through a crack in the sliding door, while trying to control the laughter that tried to break out. (Imagine two soaked cats in the rain looking like this -_- I find that funny ^_^)

A/N: Well how was it?! Did ya like it? Reviews are very much welcomed and appreciated, so don't hesitate to review, okay? It's not as rushed as the first (still rushed though) so it's still not that great in my opinion. I'll probably make my chappies like this. By basing it on a certain animal (eg. cats - Belinda and Kyou, cows - Claire and Hatsuharu, mice - Isabelle and Yuki). Ideas are welcome too to anyone who has something good to share. Anyways Arigatou! Please R&R, Jyane minnasan! (see you everyone!)
