Disclaimer: I think you all know, so there's no point in telling you. But I'm surprised Fruits Basket doesn't belong to me, because most of the characters are very similar to people I know in real life.
Spoilers: Everything that happens at the end of season one and the beginning of season two are possibly the only spoilers that could be in this story.
Author's Note: First Fruits Basket fic second fanfic written. If you thought my first fic wasn't good (see Humans Vs. Saiyans, Dragonball Z) then don't be discouraged by this one. I found out what was wrong with my fics and fixed it immediately, but the Dragonball Z one will never be revised. If you think I'm going to revise a hundred pages of a story, then you're crazy! I officially have three editors, two cousins and one friend. They help me find mistakes and most of all crappiness in my story. Also, before I submit a chapter, I make sure it's as good as I can make it, so don't expect any reedited versions. And last, Megumi might seem OOC, but I'm just writing him the way he might be if he acted somewhat normal.
"Hi" speaking, "(Crap!)" thinking

AB-Angel: Ahh, my first Fruits Basket fic. It makes me feel like I'm cool. Oh! I'm cool, I'm cool, I'm a, I'm a dork, but I'm so excited to write this!
Sasuke: Why is that?
AB-Angel: Because, Fruits Basket is so funny I wanted to add to that.

AB-Angel: Yup!
Sasuke: Oh dear God! Sasuke walks out
AB-Angel: He'll be back.

Shigure: is there any romance?
AB-Angel: Not that I planned on.
Shigure: Why not put romantic scenes of Yuki and Kyo?
AB-Angel: Yuki, Kyo. Will you do the honors?
Yuki and Kyo: With pleasure. Yuki and Kyo both knocked Shigure out of the house
AB-Angel: Thanks! I knew I could count on you both.
Kyo: But really will you put anything romantic with me and that damn rat?
AB-Angel: Not completely.
Yuki: So I'll be doing something I'll regret with that baka neko?

Kyo: That I'm definitely looking forward to.
Hiro: Am I gong to lose Kisa?
AB-Angel: I would never do that. Why do you ask?

AB-Angel: Oops! Gomen! Here's my story.
Shigure: With no romantic anything in the story.
AB-Angel: Kyo, could you come and throw out the trash.
Kyo: I thought you'd never ask! Grabs Shigure's kimono and drags him out
Chapter 1- Exposed!
It's the first day of seventh-grade for Sasuke Toko, a twelve-year-old dark-brown haired boy whose hairstyle resembles that of Kyo if not fixed and a little longer for his size. Not much to say about what his face looks like, like most boys look like, big brown eyes, a medium sized mouth, and a small nose. It's a nice day today for school to set a mood of happiness. Outside the school he's walking up to meet his best friend, "Kora, Megumi! What's up?!"
"Nothing, but the sky I guess." He says looking up.
"Oh don't be an idiot! That's my job." He says with a pat on the back for Megumi.
"It almost slipped my mind." Megumi sarcastically remarks while rolling his eyes.
"So how does it feel to be in your second year of junior high?" Sasuke asks, stretching out his arms.
"It feels very invigorating." Megumi answers in a very dull and unfeeling way.
"Not the way you're saying it, come on! Show a little feeling!" Sasuke, smiling as usual.
"I guess it couldn't hurt." Megumi replies with a little bit of excitement.
"That's the spirit! Kora! Did you know it's also the two Sohma kids first day of junior high?"
"Oh them, who are they again?" Megumi asks while raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
Sasuke almost falls down, then immediately gets up and attempts not to yell at Megumi. "They're like cousins or something and everytime I saw them they were always together."
"Charming."
"Look! There's Hiro!" Sasuke faces the other direction "And there's Kisa! I bet they're going to meet each other and take Kisa to class."
Hiro passes by Kisa without saying anything a walks off by himself. Sasuke sweatdrops and puts on a blank face with nearly no words to back up what he just saw.
"Huh? I thought that they were going to meet each other."
"Well, I guessed you thought wrong."
"Hmmm...maybe I should see what's going on." He says walking towards Kisa.
Megumi's hand grabbed his wrist. "Don't. You shouldn't interfere with their problems, unless you're a close friend, which I highly doubt. I don't think you should meddle with their affairs." Megumi advises with a very serious voice and a nearly burning look on his face.
"Hai! But if it gets serious, then I'll help."
"Whatever."
"Now let's go to class."
During class Sasuke barely pays attention and is seen fiddling with his pencil. Megumi looks over to Sasuke and notices that he wasn't paying any attention to what the teacher is saying. Not like any of it mattered, because it was history, and all the teacher did was talk about what they're going to be working on today then hand out a worksheet. Megumi bends over a little bit and asks if Sasuke is all right.
"I just can't stop thinking about Hiro and Kisa, Megumi. I think its more then just them spending time apart. When I saw Hiro's face, it was like he didn't even want to see her. It's really weird."
"Why are you so worried about it Sasuke. Just give them some time, things will probably work out."
"I hope you're right."
"You'll see."
Next week, Sasuke rushes to Megumi's locker to tell him what recently happened. Megumi already knows that it's not good news by the look of concern on Sasuke's face.
"What is it Sasuke?"
"Haven't you heard? Kisa Sohma ran away from home. Weren't you the one who said everything was going to be okay?" He says with an 'in your face' tone and a raised eyebrows look.
"Did I say that?" Megumi said while turning away.
"Don't be an idiot! I told you that's my job!"
"It slipped my mind." Megumi rolls his eyes at Sasuke.
"You said that last time." He says holding in the urge to yell at Megumi.
"Really?" Megumi brows went up and he smiles a little while saying that.
"Urusai!" Shut Up
"I told you. Don't worry about it Sasuke, you worry over things too much."
"I just hate it when people have close relationship and then it starts to fall apart."
"Kisa will probably turn up in a week or two, her family would be looking for her anyway. I heard the Sohma Family is huge."
"Fine, I won't worry over it." He said in an exasperated voice.
Fives days later
AN: Sorry for all the time jumps. The story is really meant to start after Kisa returns.
"Hey Megumi! Kisa's back! Let's say hello." He yelled while waving a hand and smiling big.
"You know I'm getting the feeling that you like Kisa." He said while raising one eyebrow and a small fake smile.
"Urusai! I just want to make her feel better!"
"Whatever. After lunch we'll go say hello."
"Hai!"
During lunch Sasuke and Megumi put their stuff in their lockers and goes to find Kisa. They hear from a friend that her last class was 4-A, so both of them quickly walk over there. A little later, they find 4-A and see Kisa waiting by herself in the hallway.
"Kora Kisa! How are you doing?" Sasuke approahes her with Megumi and greets her.
"I'm fine arigato!" She says with a smile and closing her eyes.
"Uh...is it all right if I ask you why you ran away?" Sasuke asks with a little bit of sweat.
"Oh...I'd rather not talk about it right now." Kisa answers tilting her head down a bit.
"I understand. So where's Hiro?" Sasuke then asks looking around for him.
"I'm supposed to meet him here, but I guess he's running late."
Hiro comes running in. "Gomen ne Kisa! I was taking a test and didn't finish on time." He said whilt catching his breathe.
"It's okay Hiro, I'm not really hungry anyway."
"Okay so let's go!" Hiro takes her hand and walks off.
"Bye Sasuke! Bye Megumi!"
"Who's that Kisa?" asks Hiro with a strange look on his face.
"That's Sasuke. I've known him for a while. He's one year ahead of us."
Hiro's voice gets a little serious, and so does his face. "Are you two friends?"
"No, we really don't know each other."
"(Good, I don't want anyone getting close to Kisa.)" Hiro sighs in relief. Hiro and Kisa go off to lunch together leaving Sasuke and Megumi by themselves in the hallway. Just after they left a girl about two inches taller than the two boys comes up behind them and yells, "Ahh, isn't that cute?! I bet ther're going to grow up and marry each other!" Sakura yells while putting her hands together.
"Don't be silly, they're relatives! They can't get married." He puts his finger on his chin "Well at least I think they can't. Hey, Megumi can they?"
"I think only first and second cousins can't get married. Nee-chan told me that if they're distant relatives, it doesn't matter. Are Hiro and Kisa distant cousins?"
"Yeah, so I guess it's okay if they get married."
"They make the perfect couple! Don't you think?" Sakura yells with a look that most girls give when they think something is so adorable or cute.
"I guess. Kisa's really pretty." Sasuke answers.
"And Hiro's soooo CUTE!!!!" Sakura adds.
AN: I'm such an idiot!
"See Sasuke, everything worked out. Kisa's back and with Hiro again. Are you happy now?" Megumi says with a small smile and a weak pat on the shoulder for Sasuke.
"Of course I am. All I care about right now is keeping those two together." Sasuke sighs and tilts his head onto Sakura's. "I can't stand it when things like that happen to good people."
AN: If you must know, Sakura's another friend of Sasuke's. Just think of their relationship like Hikaru and Akari's relationship in Hikaru No Go.
Two months later in the school hallways, Sasuke passes by Kisa and they both stop and greet each other. They begin walking and talking with each other.
AN: Yes, I know I did it again. This is the last time I'm going to time jump in this story. This is after the first season.
"What's up Kisa?! How's everything?" Sasuke asks.
"Everything's great. What about you?" Kisa replies with a smile.
"It's been good. Where's Hiro? Shouldn't he be here by now?" Sasuke asks while looking behind Kisa for him.
"He's not here because he's sick." Kisa answers with a look of discomfort, like she knows something bad is going to happen to her.
"Oh, is he going to be all right?" Sasuke asks with concern.
"Hai! Our family doctor's taking care of him."
"(Family doctor? How rich is this family?) I hope you'll be okay today without Hiro. If you need anything, you can ask me. Just for today, okay?" he says trying to comfort her."Arigato." Kisa bows and walks away.
"I think Sasuke has a crush." Megumi announces.
"Ah!!! How sweet!!!!!." Sakura says with a huge smile.
"It's not that!!! And it's just for today. Only while Hiro's gone. I wouldn't want anything bad happening to Kisa again." Sasuke fights back trying to defend himself with denial and reason.
"So Sasuke does have a crush." Megumi says sarcastically with one eyebrow up and a wink with the other eye.
"Urusai, Megumi! Go curse someone or something." Sasuke yells then suggests.
"That'll prove to be interesting. Let's freak out the cheerleaders." Megumi says while walking away with Sakura.
"No, they don't deserve that. Well at least not yet they don't" Sasuke yells while stopping them.
"You're a very interesting person Sasuke." He points out with an eyebrow lifted.
"I should be saying that to you Megumi." He answers back with a 'no I'm not!' tone.
"Come on! Let's get to class. I hate being tardy." Sakura, Sasuke, and Megumi walk off to class.
AN: Get how I did the three thing.
Sasuke bugs him by asking him dumb questions. "So what are you doing for lunch Megumi?"
"I'm going to do some research on curses." Megumi answers nearly stupidly.
"Really?" Sakura wonders.
"No, I'm just kidding. I'm just going to eat lunch with nee-chan today."
"How about you Sakura?"
"I have to make up a test during lunch and I only have to enough time to eat before taking the test."
"So that means I'm going to be alone for lunch today."
"No you won't." Megumi says with a weird tone and a creepy smile.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Hiro's not at school and Kisa's all by herself." Megumi replies with a wink.
"Shut up!" Sasuke yells, while trying to hide is smile.
"You could keep her company. She really doesn't have any friends. One of the reasons: Hiro and maybe her hair."
"He's very overprotective of her." Megumi says questionably.
"I wonder why. He never lets anyone touch her, or even talk to her." Sasuke adds.
RIIINNNNGGG!!!!!
"Well, time for lunch! See ya all later!" Sakura runs off.
"Gook luck! Are you going to meet Saki now?"
"Hai."
"Can I come? I just want to say hi to her."
"Sure." They walk outside and meet with Saki.
"Hi Sasuke, how are you doing? Megumi, are you ready?" She greets with her same dull expression and serious face.
"Yes nee-chan." He then says with Saki's same facial and speaking expression.
"Then let's go. Bye Sasuke, nice seeing you again."
"See you later, Sasuke."
"Bye guys! (Either I eat lunch by myself or meet up with Kisa. I don't know.)" Sasuke thinks with a giant sweatdrop. "(I've never been good at planning things by myself.)"
Sasuke walks off and figures out what to do by himself. He goes into the school cafeteria, eats lunch, puts his tray away, then begins lurking around the school looking for someone to spend lunch with. About five minutes later, after walking around the school about four times, he gives up and decides to stay with Kisa.
"(I think I'll go see Kisa. Better than doing nothing.)" Sasuke looks around for Kisa. He walks to the courtyard and notices a huge group of girls bunched up in one place. Sasuke goes there to investigate and finds that they're making fun of Kisa. He walks closer to the girls to hear what they're saying.
"No Hiro to protect you! You and your strange hair! What a FREAK!! Hahaha!" A girl provokes while the rest laugh at Kisa. Kisa puts her hands around her head trying to block them out. Shortly after, Sasuke pushes the girls out of the way and blocks them from seeing Kisa.
"Hey! HEY! Get away from her! She's never done anything to any of you! Get away from her now!" Sasuke shouts at the girl with a very violent tone.
"And what you are going to do about it?" One girl says smugly with a snobbish expression.
"I have no problems hitting girls like you so get the hell away from her!" Kisa stands up and runs away. "Hey! Kisa, come back! You girls better leave her alone!" Sasuke then runs after Kisa. He finds her all by herself near the school dumpsters crying. She had tripped.
"Kisa, it's all right! Those girls don't know anything. They just bakas! There's nothing wrong with your hair or anything else." Sasuke trying to cheer her up and smiles a bit. Kisa lifts her head and looks at Sasuke. Sasuke then approaches her.
"Come on, let me help you up." He puts his arms around Kisa to help her up then
POOF!
"Huh? What just happened?" Sasuke looks and notices Kisa's clothes all around his arms. A sweatdrop then appears and Sasuke gets worried.
"These are Kisa's clothes, but.... where's Kisa?" he picks up her clothes and sees the little tiger. Sasuke then gets freaked out and jumps back a little, swinging his arms away from Kisa.
"Ahh! A tiger!" Sasuke turns around, but before running away, he recognizes the color of the tiger.
"(NO WAY!!)Uh, Kisa? Is that you?" The tiger nods.
"What happened to you?" Kisa didn't say anything. Sasuke puts on a stupid face and small sweatdrops appeared.
He rubs his cheek with a no nose smile and says, "What am I thinking? You can't answer me, you're a tiger. Tigers don't talk. Come on, I'll take you home." He picks her up and covers her with her uniform.
"Gomen, but I don't think people will like the idea of a boy holding a tiger." Sasuke continues walking through the city, looking around for any signs of Kisa's family or the neighborhood she lives in.
"Don't worry about school, I'll figure out something to tell my mom." He continues and notices that he doesn't know where he is. He becomes worried and his eyes get bigger, but his pupils get smaller and sweatdrops appear, "Uh, Kisa? Where are we? I forgot to say that I don't know where you live." Kisa begins to sweatdrop in Sasuke's arms.
Sasuke then turns and discovers a very familiar symbol. "Hey! I've seen that before. I wonder where." He thinks a little bit then "Wait! I remember! I was once looking for a belt in my dad's closet and saw a dress of some sort. It looked very flowery and girly. When I looked at the label I saw a flower just like the one on that shop. (I wonder what he was doing with that dress? It's not mom's birthday, anniversary or anything. No, it can't be what I'm thinking. Mom would leave him forever if that dress belongs to him.)" Sasuke approaches the shop. Just when he gets in front of the door, a man with long silver hair opens the door, knocks him down, and comes out blabbing like he always does.
"And I was telling you blah, blah, blah!" Ayame walks outside with his assistant with his usual deep-high annoying guy voice, with his eyes closed and his usual smile.
"Ouch! That really hurt!" Sasuke yells while rubbing his head. He drops Kisa on the ground, but she lies there still covered up.
"Oops! I'm so sorry young man! I guess I was to busy talking to notice someone was in front of the door." Ayame bends down to pick up Kisa's clothes. "Here, you dropped this."
"Arigato!"
Sasuke reaches his hand out to take her, then, "Hmm, something seems to be moving in these clothes, I wonder what it could be?" Ayame moves Kisa's clothes out of the way and uncovers her. Sasuke's face begins showing a lot of discomfort and he starts to sweat a little.
"Gulp! (Oh no! He discovered Kisa! What am I going to tell him?)" he starts thinking of an explanation for what Aya just discovered.
"Huh?" He whispers, then, "Kisa? Um, could you please excuse us for a minute? I'd like to talk to this young man and the dress he's holding." Ayame requests of his assistant.
"Sure thing!" She walks back into the shop.
"I know what you're thinking. So what's wrong with having a tiger with a pet?" Sasuke putting on a stupid face and sweatdropping.
"That's not what I'm thinking. I just want to know where you're going with Kisa?" Ayame says in a serious voice and face.
"Nani? You know Kisa?" Sasuke answers in surprise.
"Please to meet you. I'm Ayame Sohma." Ayame greets extending his hand out to shake Sasuke's. Sasuke hesitantly shakes his hand then goes back to talking.
"Um, please to meet you too. So you must be another one of her cousins. Oh, and I'm Sasuke Toko."
"Who else have you met?" Ayame's voice getting higher pitched and more annoying.
"Uh, Hiro."
"Ah yes, Hiro. I should've guessed because they're always together." He says with his hand holding his chin a little and nodding his head.
"I was taking Kisa back to her house, but I don't know where that is. Could you take us there?" Sasuke says feeling completely stupid for asking that question.
"Well, (If I take him to Kisa's house, Akito might see him, forcing Hatori to erase the poor boy's memory. I know! I'll just take him to Shigure's! They'll know what to do!)" He smiles to himself. "I don't remember where she lives right now" He lies, "but I'll could take you to my brother and cousins' home. They'll take good care of Kisa." Ayame grabs Sasuke's hand and starts walking towards Shigure's.
"So, how is it that you met my little Kisa?" Ayame begins.
"You make her sound like she's your daughter." Sasuke informs him in a sort of disgusted way.
"Yes, I know. But how did you meet her?" Aya says softly and stupidly, because that's the way he is.
"I met her four years ago in school. We've never talked much, mostly because of Hiro, but I knew her and she knew me." Sasuke states.
"Very interesting. I remember my junior high school years with Shigure and Hatori, blah, blah, blah! Hehe!" Ayame starts rambling on about nothing. They continue on walking, a few minutes later they reach the forest, and Ayame is still rambling about, well, we really don't know what. Sasuke lowers his head, puts his hands a little over his ears, and whispers something to Kisa.
"Hey Kisa, does this your cousin ever stop?" Kisa nods her head sideways.
"(Oh boy!)" Both sweatdrop and look at Ayame.
"And I remember saying 'Send all of your desire towards me!' blah, blah, blah!" Ayame still rambling and not aware that both of them are not listening.
Sasuke still trying to cover his ears, "Kisa, are we almost there?" Kisa nods.
"Good, if I listen to anymore of his constant jabbering, I'll go crazy!" Sasuke nearly yells but holds back enough that Ayame doesn't hear.
"Oh look Sasuke! It's Shigure's! Come on, let's go!" Aya grabs Sasuke's arm and runs the rest of the way to Shigure's.
KNOCK KNOCK!
"Come in! It's unlocked." Shigure says in his cheerful voice to match his cheerful face.
"SHIGURE! IT'S ME YOUR BELOVED AYAME!!!" Aya runs into the house, extending his arms forward for a hug.
"Oh Aya, you've been thinking about me again!" Shigure jumps up and imitates Ayame's movements."Of course I have, there's no way I could ever forget you Shigure!" Ayame and Shigure slides towards each other, then both simultaneously "YES!" thumbs up.
Kisa and Sasuke stare at both of them with a giant sweatdrop on their forehead. Shigure and Ayame then calm down and begin speaking.
"So Aya, what brings you here?" Shigure starts.
"I just came to drop off a lost boy." Ayame points behind him. Shigure looks over and sees Sasuke.
"I see" he nods his head, "but why did you bring him here?" Ayame walks over and takes Kisa still covered.
"This is why." Ayame walks over to Sasuke and uncovers Kisa.
"So I see." Shigure nods his head again while Sasuke is wondering what's happening.
"(Are these people for real?! They're acting like this is nothing.) Uh, is that natural?" Sasuke says nervously.
"Yes it is. Do you know what it is?" Sasuke nods sideways.
"Shigure, should we tell him?" Ayame quietly says.
"He already saw Kisa. And I don't think we'd want to send him off to Akito. I guess we should. Uh kid." Shigure says while him and Ayame turn over to him.
"Sasuke." He corrects getting a little annoyed.
"Yeah. Kid, do you know what the Twelve Animals of the Zodiac is?" Shigure asks making Sasuke yell at him for calling him kid again.
"SASUKE!!! And yeah isn't that like the Chinese calendar of twelve animals that determine what a person is like." Sasuke states to the utmost of his knowledge about the subject.
"Well yeah, but it's also the twelve animals of the year. For us, it's a curse. And technically for us, there are thirteen. The thirteenth one is the cat." Shigure says matter-of-factly and smiles at Sasuke.
"Weird, but what is the curse?" Sasuke asks while tilting his head in confusion.
"You saw what happened to Kisa. Thirteen of us are cursed by an animal of the zodiac. As you already know, Kisa is the tiger. Whenever we are touched, or should I say hugged, by the opposite gender or under too much stress, we transform." Ayame then answers very clearly and surprisingly, not annoyingly.
"So... when do you transform back?" he then asks raising an eyebrow in confusion."It's random. We really don't know when we transform back." Shigure answers.
"What happens when you transform back?" Then suddenly.
POOF!
"That." Shigure replies, pointing to the very naked Kisa.
"I think that this is the best time to cover your eyes Sasuke." Ayame informs the boy, covering his eyes with his hands already.
"Oops! Gomen!" Sasuke closes his eyes tightly. Ayame hands Kisa her clothes and she puts it on quietly.
"I'm sorry for having to drag you into this." Kisa apologetically says to Sasuke while bowing down to him a little.
"It's okay, now I understand why Hiro wouldn't let anyone near him or you. Um, but tell me, is Hiro one also?" Sasuke asks becoming more curious about the Sohma family.
"Yes he is. He is the sheep." Shigure answers. A weird smile began to spread all over his face, his eyes twitching, and sweat appearing all in order not to laugh.
"Hiro is a sheep?" His head turns away and his finger comes up to his mouth "(Since when do tigers and sheep have relationships.)" He thinks with his weird smile still pasted on his face.
"You should know Sasuke, that this is no joke, and that you must keep this secret." Shigure informs Sasuke about the matter in concern.
"I understand." Sasuke straightens up, then bends down and nearly covers his mouth. "But Hiro a sheep? I would think that he's the dragon by the way he acts, but a sheep!"
he begins to laugh about it.
"Sasuke, stop. Don't make fun of Hiro. (Even though he is embarrassed about his Zodiac form.)" Kisa hides a smirk.
"Gomen nasi Kisa. It's just that I would've never thought of Hiro as a sheep." He continues to laugh for a few minutes then stops.
"Are you finally finished laughing?" Shigure asks cheerfully.
"All done!" He smiles, then stares at Shigure and Ayame.
"If you're wondering then yes, both of us are members of the Zodiac. I'm the..." Ayame was telling him when he was suddenly cut of by Sasuke answering for him.
"Wait don't tell me. Let me guess." Sasuke looks at Ayame's eyes. "Judging by your eyes, you must be the snake." Ayame's eyes sparkle because Sasuke knew what animal he is.
"Very good Sasuke," he claps a little "now what is Shigure?" he moves his hand in front of Shigure like he was displaying something.
"Hmm, (Hair must have something to do with their animal, because that's how I recognized Kisa. Very dark grayish hair.)" His hand on his chin thinking "Right now, I'm guessing either the dog or mouse."
"You're close. Hmm, I here familiar voices coming our way." Shigure announces pressing his ear forward and listening to the voices outside that are only audible to him.
"That means, oh Yuki! My little brother is coming home!" Ayame yells getting a little over excited that the little brother of his that doesn't like him is returning from school.
Meanwhile, outside...
"You damn rat! You're not always right about everything!" Kyo obviously argues over some dumb thing again just to pick a fight with Yuki.
"I've always been right when it comes to how stupid you are you baka neko!" he fights back and smirks when he sees the flinch Kyo got from that remark.
"I'm not a stupid cat and I 'will' defeat you!!" Kyo repeating his punch line again.
"Wait, wait, I've heard this one before. Don't tell me." Yuki answers back while standing still and tilting his head up to look like he's thinking.
"Stop it Kyo and Yuki. You're making Tohru sad." Momiji interrupts their fighting.
"Grr. All right. But you're still a damn rat." Kyo grumbles in defeat, still mad mainly because it was 'the brat' in his words, that stopped them from fighting.
"And you're still a baka-neko!" Yuki then pisses Kyo off again and they start argue as always.
"So you want to fight!" Kyo yells and gets into fighting stance.
"Predictable as always." Standing still is what Yuki was doing.
"You should've know better than to try and stop those two Momiji." Haru shot a fiery glare at Momiji.
"I know Haru, but them fighting makes Tohru sad." Momiji says softly.
"Oh you guys, it's quite all right you know! I'm very much used to their arguing now. So don't worry over me!" Tohru says with her best smile. Hatori was with them too but just continues to walk quietly, not letting any of them get to him, because he knew, that once he gets to Shigure's, Shigure will not stop annoying him.
Back in the house they're still asking Sasuke if Shigure's a mouse or a dog.
"Come on Sasuke, am I a dog or mouse?" Shigure urging Sasuke to continue guessing on his Zodiac form. Then after a little bit, it came to Sasuke what animal Shigure is."Well, because you heard people outside that Kisa, Ayame, and I couldn't hear. I will say that you're a dog." He says proudly and points to Shigure.
"What a smart boy!" Ayame compliments him while patting his head.
"Don't we seem weird to you in any way, Sasuke?" Shigure asking with curiosity.
"No! I think it's very cool, but in a way, also very sad how you can touch the opposite gender." He says softly with a hint of depression on his face for the Sohma family. Shigure notices it immediately and attempts to brighten up the mood.
"Oh, we've been through worse! And by the way, we could touch the opposite gender, but not too much. Hugging them is enough to transform." Shigure happily says.
"But how come Hiro and Kisa could always hug each other without transforming?" Sasuke says with an eyebrow lifted.
"Only Zodiacs can touch each other without transforming." Ayame states.
Just then, the door opens.
"Shigure! We're home! And guess what? Haru, Momiji, and Hatori are here!" Tohru happily exclaims letting the rest come in.
"Oh Yuki! How I've missed you!" Ayame cheers running to Yuki with open arms. Yuki immediately gets annoyed just from the presence of his very weird brother.
"(Not Ayame again.)" Hatori thinks without showing any evidence of it.
"What the hell is Ayame doing here?!" Kyo angrily asks very loudly trying to contain himself from punching out Ayame and Shigure's lights for him being there.
"Oh Kyon, it's nice to see you too." He waves his hand like a girl to Kyo.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!!!" Stressmarks appear in Kyo's face while he's towering over Ayame.
"Why is my idiotic older brother here Shigure?" Yuki asks in a 'I'm going to kill you if you don't have a good reason' expression while glaring at him.
Shigure waving his hands and defending himself. "I didn't call him, he came on his own!" Sweatdrops appear, not only on Shigure's face, but also on Haru, Tohru, Sasuke, and Kisa. Yuki's glare immediately turns to Ayame and the burning of it gets bigger too.
"Why is that brother?" he says trying to contain himself also.
"Well you see..." Aya looks past Yuki "HATORI!! So glad to see you! How have you been doing? I'm so great!" Ayame nearly begins to blab but was cut off by the ever so calm and collective Hatori.
"(Why did he have to notice me.) Ayame, stop, and answer Yuki's question." All said with a straight out serious tone and expression to match what Hatori is.
"Woops! Almost slipped my mind." Ayame said loudly with a tap of his finger on his head.
Sasuke having no idea what's happening just stares at Ayame. He feels very awkward and out of place in this area of argument and yelling, just like his home. "(Why do I feel out of place? This is like auntie's house, or mine.)" He just forgot about and continued to listen in on the conversation-taking place.
"Well, I was on my way to buy some fabrics when I ran into a boy, with a lost tiger!" Ayame cheerfully said and turned to Sasuke, displaying him to everyone else in the room. Sasuke then became very nervous, seeing how he isn't and never was used to getting a lot of attention, and just stands there and attempts to keep a straight face.
"You mean that boy?" Momiji points to Sasuke. Tohru then walks up to Sasuke. He notices one of them walking up to him but doesn't see who it is, because he's still looking at everyone, trying to get familiar with all their faces.
"Oh hello there! How are you? Are you a friend of Kisa?" Tohru politely asks while catching his attention. Sasuke turns towards to Tohru and his eyes widen in shock. Memories begin flooding his mind as two words enter his thoughts.
"(Kyoko's daughter.)"

AB-Angel: So how was it? Was it good, was it great, or was it just the BEST STORY IN THE WORLD!!! I'm delusional right now.
Sasuke: You sure are! I pick up a pikachu alarm clock and throw it at him Ouch! That hurt!
AB-Angel: You'll feel more that hurt if I send you to the editor!
Sasuke: I'll stop.
AB-Angel: Much better. So what did you think Momiji?
Everyone else: (Of all people, he chooses his favorite, Momiji.)
Momiji: I think it's really funny and interesting!
AB-Angel: That's why you're my favorite Patting Momiji on the headSasuke: Why exactly is Momiji your favorite?
AB-Angel: Because he reminds me so much of myself! He's energetic, funny, always happy, and just silly! Like me.
Uo: Except he's good looking and you're not.
Sasuke: Of course, I am! Aren't I editor? Editor runs out trying to hold in her vomit
AB-Angel: Dork!
Tohru: I think you're such a cute little boy!
AB-Angel: Arigato Tohru! Note to readers: When they talk to about Sasuke, it also refers to me, cause I'm him, and vice versa. If you could get what he looks like, then that would probably be me anime style.
Kyo: That doesn't count! She'll never say anything mean to anyone.
AB-Angel: So you're calling her a liar?
Kyo: I NEVER SAID THAT!! Enters friend of mine, who's obsessed with Kyo
Friend that's obsessed with Kyo: Ahh, Kyo's voice is such music to my ears.
AB-Angel: Be careful Kyo, she really really wants you.
Kyo: WHAT?!
Friend that's obsessed with Kyo: I found you now, and I won't get you out of my sight!
Kyo: Get away from me!
Friend that's obsessed with Kyo: I'll find a way to break the curse so I can hold you all the time.
Kyo: HELP! Kyo runs out followed by friend that's obsessed with Kyo
Haru: So what happens next author?
AB-Angel: I can't give it away. You'll just have to find out.
Everyone: Aww!
AB-Angel: Haw! Haw!
