Disclaimer: I still do not own Fruits Basket. Though I wish I owned the handprint across this boy in my class's face that keeps teasing me because I like Fruits Basket.

AN: I'm hoping this will be longer than previous chapters

Chapter 5

New Years

"Dad All you can eat doesn't mean you eat it all. Compared to you I ate nothing." Sakuracomplained as the to felines walked in the house after getting kick out of an all you can eat sushi resturant for well, eating almost everthing.

"What are you talking about you ate alot too."Kyo tried to act innocent

"I still didn't eat as much as you did."

"Did too."Kyo whined

"Whatever, I'm going to sleep. I'm just glad tomorrows Friday" She said with a yawn as she went up to her room and got ready for bed.

"You two could be siblings the way you act."

"Yah, I guess your right. Speaking of Sakura she found out about the curse."

"Well we knew she'd find out sooner or later. So how did she take it?"

"Better than I did when I found out, even if I was younger than her."

"By the way you received a letter from Hatori reminding you and Sakura of the New Years Banquet at the main house tomorrow night." Tohru handed him the yellowish peice of parchment.

"Do I have to" he pleaded

"You stayed home with me last year, besides Sakura only gets to see any of her family."

"Ouwww, Ok. I'll go but I'm staying home next year." He couldn't argue with her- even if he didn't want to go.

-After School the next day-

"Sakura, Wait up!" said a young man from behind her.

"Huh? Your...Yoshi right?"

"Yeah. I was wondering if you would like to go see a movie this weekend?"

"I have to go to a new years party this weekend." which she couldn't wait for and besides it was a good excuse to get a way from this Yoshi guy he doesn't even know her and he asks her on a date.

"Thats to bad, some other time then." Yoshi seemed disapointed but he'd get over it by tomorrow.

"Maybe" she said really hoping that day wouldn't come, and besides that she kinda liked Hikaru even if she wouldn't admit it.

-that evening-

Sakura and Kyo slung their napsacks over thier shoulders as they waved good-bye to Tohru before they headed for the Sohma estate."You sure your going to be all right for the weekend?" Kyo asked being overprotective.

"Hana and Uo are coming over so I won't be alone."

"Bye" Kyo said in unison to Sakura, then good-bye been said walked to the estate.On the way the broke into conversation. "Dad why doesn't Mom ever go to the New Years Banquet?"

"Well you see its only for those with the curse are permitted to go. I prefer not to go but you seem to like going and your mom makes me go at least every other year." They arrived slightly after dusk and were unfortunatly were greeted by Yuki . "Damn rat." The Kyo said underhis breath as they pasted.Which they replied with "Stupid cat."

On a more positive note, food of all varietys could be smelt from the kitchen, that would be consumed at tonights banquet. Sakura went over to talk to Rai and Mamoru who were some 5 years younger than she (Hiro and Kisa's children).She also found out that she was the one of the few people in the whole Sohma family who didn't know she was the cat until her dad told her just a few days before.

'Is there anything else they've keep from me?' Sakura asked herself but desided not to continue to ponder this thought and when on talking to them until dinner was anounced to be ready. The only thing on anyones mind after that was 'food'.

Sakura, Kyo, and those who's both parents were zodiac members ate separate from the main festivities but enjoyed the food just the same.

Everyone was asleep by 1:00am. Sakura on the other hand layed awake in bed. Finaling figuring that she wouldn't get much sleep tonight, went outside and hoped to the roof. It wasn't as comfortable as a bed but it was alot more peaceful for some reason. She wasn't alone up there though. Kyo had found a spot on the opposite side of the roof. Seeking this as the perfect opretunity to have some fun with her dad she creap behind him and... "Boo". Kyo jumped up and started to chase her hoping from roof top to roof top and Sakura just laught at his supressed attempts to catch her. The two ended up out of breath watching the first sunrise together.

But what could this new year bring?
