DISCLAIMER (KYO COUNT: MAKE-UP #2):

Kyo: Sensei does not own Fruits Basket. Am I off the hook now?

Tora-san: Kyo-kun! You're so CUTE!

Kyo: muttering one more time and I'll...

Tora-san: Kyo, that's three more disclaimers

Kyo: Damn!


Is It My Imagination

Chapter 4- Toshi's POV


Okay, I understand that the Sohma family is weird. Okay, matter of fact, beyond weird is more like it. The one thing that I can't get over though is that alot of them ring bells in my memory. Kyo, Kagura, Yuki, Yukino, all of them ring a bell. Kagura's reaction to Kyo ring's a bell. But I can't quite lay my finger on it. After D block, I rushed down to the art room and out the back door. This was where me and my friends eat lunch everyday unless there's poor weather. If the weather's bad we eat in the art room. I have a really strong love of pudding. Sometimes I sneak to Stop and Shop during lunch to buy some, but today, Kisa decided staying in school to see what was happening with the Sohma's was a better idea. She grabbed me a pudding while she was buying her lunch. With her came Kyo, Soph (who looked like she was going to have a nervous break down), and Aki (another friend who adores Akito). We were all outside and practically invisible to anyone in the art room when we all heard, "KITTY!!!!"

"Why does she call you kitty?" I asked. Soph looked at Kisa, Kisa looked back at Soph. Kisa started to crack up. Sometimes that girl scares me. She really is a demon child. But anyways, while she was cracking up she threw all of our backbacks and stuff at Kyo, and pointed to a niche in the wall. Washburn High is famous for the hundreds of niche's it has within it's walls.

I guess Kyo didn't want to get beat up again and he fled to the niche with the backpacks.

But it wasn't the crazy senior who was looking for him. Apparently Yukino had caught on to Kagura's nickname for Kyo.

"Have you guys seen Kyo? Mr. Sohma wants to talk to him. Oh yeah, he wants to talk to Soph and Kisa as well," Yukino informed us.

"Which Mr. Sohma?" asked Kisa.

"Hatori Sohma. If I had ment Shigure, I would have said Sensei." Yukino gave Kisa a glare, but knowing Kisa, she gave Yukino one strait back.

Finally Yukino stepped back and said, "You had better watch your step, Kisa. You have a fools mind."

"What was that all about?" I asked after everyone was silent for a minute. Finally, Kisa got up, went over to the pile of backpacks that was Kyo, grabbed her backpack, Kyo's hand, Kyo's backpack, and Soph's backpack.

"We'll talk to Hatori. If that...that...if she ever comes back, you will tell me right away, won't you?" Noting the anger in Kisa's voice, I nodded along with the others.

"Kisa, I'm coming with you," Aki said firmly. Kisa took one look at Aki and nodded her head. Even Kisa wasn't immune to Aki. Aki had control over both Soph and Kisa. The story behind that is too long, and too unnessicary to the story that it really doesn't need to be told.

"Then I'm coming with you, too," I said. Everyone looked at me. It seemed clear to me that there was something going on, and I was the only one who hadn't figured out the "riddle". "Well, I'm not gonna sit here by myself." Then I glared at Kisa.

"Fine! Fine! Everyone can come! It's a field trip! Yippee!" Sarcasm was slowly leaking into her speech, which generally means that if we continue to bug her she'll go off like a rocket. Aki took the lead of the group because it was her "family members" that were being called in. Between the three of them Soph's nickname was Kyo, Kisa's was Kisa, and Aki's was Akito. I think you'll understand now. Anyway, Akito was in the lead. Kyo, Kisa (still holding Kyo's hand), and Soph were next. I followed them. I had no idea what was going on. Taki, who wanted to eat lunch with me, started to follow us too. I know she's my girlfriend, but that shouldn't mean she ignors her other friends when I'm around. That's why I hang out with Kisa, Soph and Aki so much. Not to mention Una. She is really cool, but she's out sick today. Anyway, when we finally reached the science wing, Aki marched right in to Dr. Sohma's room and demanded to know why her little "pets" were in trouble. Little did she know that there was someone else just outside that room.

"Pets, huh? Well, you're not the only one with pets around here, are you?" a really creepy voice hissed.

Aki swung around to face the door to the main science lab to see Akito Sohma standing there. "Akito Sohma. It's nice to finally meet you. I'm guessing you're here for the meeting, too. And I'm going to give you some information before you decide anything about what to do with those two girls." Aki stood there glaring at Akito.

Kisa covered my ears. She obviously didn't want me to here something. Taki took in the scene, and Soph was trying to cover her ears, but it was too late. She figured it out, and she gasped. Everyone looked at her. Kisa began to drag me off somewhere where I couldn't hear what was going on, her hands no longer on my ears. But Akito stopped her. "Trying to keep secrets from friends, are we? You want to suffer like us? Go ahead. I have a surprise waiting for you anyway."

Kisa started growling. She rarely growls anymore. In fact, at the beginning of the school year she said she wanted to be Kagura from now on. But everyone just stared at her and let it be. So she's still Kisa. But here she was, growling at Akito. She never growls at Aki. But you can understand why. Kisa pushed me in back of her, almost protectively. Then she leaned over to me and whispered, "Run!"

The last thing I saw was Kyo running in front of Kisa as Akito tried to break through her barrier. Why he was after me, I don't know. But I could hear Kisa screaming something about Kyo's true form. That's when it clicked. I whipped around. I studied each Sohma in that room. Kyo, kitty, cat from the zodiac legend, the freak cat's true form, Kagura, pig, boar, Yuki and Yukino, honors students, rats, Akito, creepy guy, head of the family. There were others, but I had only seen the first DVD. So in the middle of the fray, I ran back, and asked Kisa for the rest of the DVD's. She stared at me from her position beneith Kyo, and nodded.

(A/N: She is lying on her stomache. Kyo fell backwards on to her. Therefore he did not transform. She didn't accidentally hug him, nor him her.)

Then Kisa's head hit the cold floor with a thud, and she passed out. Akito never noticed I had come back. I just grabbed Taki, and we ran to the office.

Once there we explained that there were quite a few people who one of the teachers needed to call to room B304. The secretary nodded and had Taki write down the names. She wrote down the name of every Sohma in the school and handed it back. "Dr. Sohma needs them all as soon as possible."

We then rushed back upstairs listening to the secretary's voice calling the Sohmas to the classroom. But me and Taki stood at the end of the hallway, stopping the Sohma's at the end of the hall before they could proceed furthur. We quickly told them what was going on, about how Akito was trying to attack Kisa, about how Kyo was trying to keep Kisa from the wrath of Akito, about how Soph and Aki were standing there helpless. We didn't actually know what was happening now, just that Kisa had passed out underneth Kyo.

It was Kagura who reacted first.

"Not Kyo!" she yelled, running between Kyo and Akito. Akito struck her hard on the face and Kagura fell on top of Kyo. Kagura accidentally knocked Kyo out in her fall. Now two students were unconcious. I didn't know that Taki had become friends with Kagura in one day. So when she ran in front of Kagura. "Don't you dare!" she screamed at him, before she too was knocked onto the pile with Kagura. They hit their heads together and both were knocked out. That was not cool. The bastard just knocked out my girlfriend. So I ran up to Akito, sending a flying kick toward his guts. The bastard fell backwards into Hatori. Then I sent a punch at the bastards head. Hatori reached out a hand to me. I heard Soph gasp. It was something bad. I could tell. So I grabbed Akito and right before he reached my head, his hand came in contact with Akito's head. A sigh of relief crept through Soph's body. Then she ran up, grabbed my arm and yanked me back from the angry science teacher. Kisa was slowly waking up from her unconcious state to realize that there were three bodies on top of her, the closest one being Kyo's. Her faced turned a brilliant red when she realized how close Kyo's face was to hers. I just laughed. She turned to face me.

"Toshi, you may as well help me out you know."

"Sure," I replied. But as far as I got was to get Taki off of the pile of bodies because Akito was wandering around the room asking where he was. Suddenly Aki was at his side whispering that she would show him around the school and get him to try to remember who he was. He then said really loudly, "I'm a boy?" That really cracked me up. He stared at me a moment and asked, "Are you my master?" I laughed even harder, which woke Kagura up. She looked down to see Kyo lying underneth her. She gasped.

"I didn't, did I?" I thought she was talking about beating him up until Kisa, who was still at the bottom of the pile, glared at her and said, "No you didn't take advantage of him. Otherwise I wouldn't be right here." Then Kagura stared at Kisa a second. She realized that Kisa and Kyo were front to front. She completely forgot Kyo was unconcious and started to beat him up, ocasionally calling out stuff like, "KYO YOU TWO TIMER!" My stomach hurt from all of the laughing. That woke Taki up because she was still in my arms. "Where...Toshi, why are you holding me?" I nearly dropped her. She glared at me. Then she looked down at Kisa and Kyo. Kisa was wincing from all the pain shooting through her body as Kagura beat up Kyo, which was constantly slamming her up against the floor. Then Kyo finally woke up to the last, "KYO YOU TWO TIMER!"

"WHAT THE HELL DID I DO?" he yelled at the top of his lungs, then saw Kisa lying under him, wincing at the pain of being ground into the floor and the loudness of the mouth that was now next to her ear.

"NOT SO LOUD!" she yelled, making Kyo wince. "Revenge is so sweet," she muttered. Then said, "Kyo, could you get off of me?" He quickly obliged, blushing when he relized the position they were in.

This was in no way a normal day. I wasn't surprised either when, a month later, Kyo asked Kisa on a date. She couldn't refuse. It was really funny to watch the whole sinario. Of course Kagura, Taki, Haru, Harino, Aki, Soph, Momiji, Yuki, and I were all spying on the two. I don't quite remember why Yuki was with us. He doesn't seem to mind us at all, although Yukino won't talk to us at all. I think it has to do with her first meeting with Kisa. Kisa avoids Yukino at all costs, too. I don't think she appreciated being told she had a fool's mind.
