Disclaimer: Yes, I realize that I didn't put a disclaimer on the other chapters. Oh well. I obviously don't own Fruits Basket, Godzilla, Mothra, or anything mentioned in this fanfic. Except Sachi and Oki. I own them. You may read on.

Chapter 3 – A Sleepover and an Artist

----------------

Shigure had suggested that Sachi stay the night. Tohru was delighted. Yuki was pleased, knowing that Sachi would torture Kyou in any way possible. They were all sitting around the TV, watching Godzilla VS Mothra. Tohru was crying, Sachi was laughing, Kyou was annoyed, and Yuki was getting more popcorn. Shigure had eaten the last 3 bags all by himself, and now he had passed out. He was just lying on the floor, occasionally twitching. Nobody paid much attention to him for a while.

Sachi was now paying no attention to the movie. She was too busy trying to shove a piece of popcorn up Kyou's nose. That resulted in the attack of the spork. It was quite painful for Sachi. She now had 8 bruises, 3 paper-cuts (How you can get a paper-cut from a spork, I don't know.), 10 scratches and a nosebleed. Amazing what a spork can do to you, eh?

Not satisfied with the level of entertainment from the movie, Sachi decided to do something fun! And painful! Pin the tail on the kitty! It wasn't a tail exactly. It was more like a...sharp nail. But it would have to do. She blindfolded herself and picked up the nail. She got closer and closer to the next living human being.

Stab.

Stab.

Stab.

"AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Apparently Shigure had woken up, and she stabbed him in the eye. That had to hurt.

"Note to self: do not trust Sachi with sharp objects..."

--The next day--

A young woman stood at the entrance to a roller coaster at an amusement park. She had been told that the infamous Shigure Sohma visited there often. Shigure was her favorite author, and it was her dream to meet him. It was also her dream to become a well-known artist. This woman had a plan to accomplish both in the same day.

Shigure entered the line for the roller coaster. He had an eye-patch over his right eye, which was the one that had been stabbed. Hatori said it would heal within a week. The woman ran up to him, her caramel colored hair over her face. She knew she would have to introduce herself, but she didn't know what to say.

"GORILLA!"

"Gorilla? Where?!" Shigure shouted. He looked around nervously, as if a gorilla was going to come up and attack him at any moment.

"Shigure Sohma! It's quite an honor to meet you!" People were shouting in the background because Shigure and the woman were holding up the line. "My name is Oki Akiramoju! I'm interested in becoming a book cover artist!"

"So you're standing in the middle of a line for a roller coaster carrying a briefcase in hopes I'll hire you to become my new cover artist?"

"Pretty much, yeah."

"...Gorilla?"

"I didn't know what else to say..."

Some random person threw an egg at Shigure's head. Why this person had an egg in an amusement park, we may never know.
