Summary: Kyou was sitting on the roof, just like any other normal day. Until something lightly touched his face. He looked closely and saw that it was a feather. Then out of nowhere, heaps of feathers kept pouring down onto him. Want to know where the feathers come from? Well you're gonna have to read the fiction to find out!!! He he, this is a KyouxOC fic so beware! Maybe PG-13 later for Kyou' bad boy mouth!

Disclaimer: ok, if I did own fruits basket, then Akito would most lightly be dead and Yuki and Kyou would be gay. Are they? No! So I obviously don't own fruits basket.

Chapter two: can we be friends?

After breakfast, there was allot of talking between the two, mostly Kyou of course. He tried to teach Suzu new words, unsuccessfully though. Even though she seemed to understand what he was saying, she could never actually say the words herself. And every time he asked her something, her sole reply would be "Suzu".

A short time later, Toru and everybody else came back. She and Yuki walked into the kitchen to unpack all the stuff from the bags, but when she none other than Kyou and the Suzu sitting at the table, she burst out in words of joy. She ran up to Suzu and took her hands in hers with glittering eyes.

"She....is...so...cute!!!!" she exclaimed. Suzu looked confused at first, but when she saw Toru's warm smile, she smiled back. Just then, Shigure walked in and saw the scene in front of him. Then, the one and only "cheeky-smile-of-his" showed itself on his face.

"Well, well, well!....and who have we got here?" he said slyly, still grinning.

"Suzu!!!" she said happily.

"Well, Miss Suzu, where do you come from?"

"Suzu?"

"What??? The land of Suzu? ...I never thought it existed!" he said thoughtfully.

"You idiot! She can't talk! All she can say is her name." said Kyou sighing. This made Toru smile an even wider smile.

"Well, maybe we could teach her!" she proposed.

"Nah! Already tried that..."

"But what if we all try? Then maybe it would work..."

Eventually, they agreed and all sat at the table, with a very confused Suzu. Toru had a very determined look on her face; she was going to teach Suzu how to talk no matter what!

"Right! So I think we start off with names, uh, ok I'm Toru, Too-ruu..."

"...To-to...Toru!" she finally said it.

"Yes! Very good" she pointed to Yuki. "And that's Yuki, Yuu-kii..."

"...Yu-Yuki!"

"Wonderful! And that's Shigure, Shi-gu-reee..."

"Shi-Shiureee!"

"No, Shi-gu-re"

"Shi...gu-Shigure!"

"I think we're finally getting somewhere!" Toru exclaimed.

"...why does it work with you and not with me?" Kyou asked, he was talking more to himself.

"Because you're nothing but a worthless stupid cat..." replied Yuki with a smirk on his face.

"What the hell is YOUR problem!!!???" Kyou shouted.

"You" was Yuki's simple reply. That smart reply made Kyou jump up and yell at the top of his lungs.

"THAT'S IT! YOU UP FOR A FIGHT??? I'LL TAKE YOU ON ANYTIME! RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, JUST BRING IT ON GIRLY BOY!!!!" he shouted.

"Hmmm...I think I might've heard that before (Kyou tensed up at this) but I can't seem to remember where" Yuki said sarcastically. "Why do you even bother baka?! It's not like you don't know how this will end, or have you become more stupid then the last time I fought you? Come to think of it, that was only three days ago, you're getting dumber as you age."

Kyou lunged at Yuki who easily dodged him, grabbed his wrist and twisted it causing Kyou to spin in mid-air and fall to the ground. Kyou shook the pain off and jumped back up, then did a side-kick aiming for Yuki's head. Yuki ducked just in time and Kyou missed which made his back face Yuki, Yuki took the opportunity to run up and forcefully push Kyou down making him hit his face painfully hard on the ground. Yuki was just about to attack him again when something tapped him lightly on his back. He turned around to see who it was and was surprised to find Suzu looking at him pleadingly. Her eyes were watery and her cheeks were red...she was shaking her head slightly as if telling him to stop. He got the message and straightened himself. Normally he would have continued, but since Suzu didn't like it (and she was obviously scared), he decided not to.

Kyou stood up and wiped some sweat of his face, then looked at Yuki and glared at him. Though he couldn't help but notice that it was because of Suzu that Yuki stopped. When she caught his eye, she smiled which made him blush (thank god no one saw that!), but he still smiled back. And mouthed the words 'thank you'; she got the message. Toru then got Suzu's attention.

"Oh and Suzu? This is Kyou, Kiii-yo!"

"...Kyou!"

"Wow! You got it on the first try!!! See you guys? I knew she'd learn how to speak in no time!!!" Toru said cheerfully.

Toru was making lunch and Shigure doing whatever he does in his room and Yuki went out the back to his 'secret-base'. Kyou was in his room finishing off his homework. ((it's Saturday and I know that they go to school on Saturdays but not in this story, so yeah, just thought you might have wanted to know!)) Once he was finished, he decided to go downstairs. He went into the kitchen and found Toru speeding around getting everything ready, he saw that Suzu was nowhere to be seen...he frantically looked in the living room and out on the porch, but he still couldn't find her.

"Hey Toru! Have you seen Suzu around?" he asked

"Uh no, I haven't! I thought she was with you..." Toru tailed of.

Kyou stood there thinking for a moment...then it hit him! The roof!

He quickly ran upstairs and into his room, then out the widow and onto the ladder. He peeked over the edge of the roof and stood there amazed at what he saw; there was Suzu, standing on the very edge of the roof with her arms stretched out on either side of her and her eyes closed. Even though it was sunny, it was quite windy, and the wind blew through her hair and dress like how it did through the trees. The thing that he was fascinated about the most was that she had her wings stretched out at full length...which once again, made her look like an angel. It was only after a long period of staring, that he realized he could hear a faint tune in the wind, and when he looked closely he saw that it was actually her, lightly singing a soft tune to herself in some unknown language. He climbed onto the roof slowly so she wouldn't hear him, but the roof made that roofy sound and so she turned around to see who it was.

When she saw that it was Kyou, she smiled at him and made her wings disappear. She gave him a sign to come and sit down next to her. He came over to her and sat down quietly. There was a comfortable silence between the two, happy with each others presence. Then Kyou couldn't help himself as he glanced at her. Her eyes were closed again and she had a small smile on her face.

"Was that you who was singing?" he asked. She looked at him and nodded.

"...could you...sing it again?"

She looked at him for a while and then started singing. Her voice was soft and she could reach the high notes easily. The song gave Kyou the impression of sadness, but he still closed his eyes and cherished the moment. Before long, she finished with a steady tone and looked at him.

"Kyou..."

"Yeah?"

"Kyou."

"What is it?"

"...Kyou..."

Then he realized that she was only trying to say his name, but he was happy for her that she got it on the first try. Toru's loud and clear voice was heard, and she was calling them for lunch.

"Well, lunch is ready!" Kyou said as he stood up. "You coming?"

"Suzu!" she cried happily and ran over to him.

(A few hours before when Shigure visited Hatori)

Shigure let out a puff of smoke as he sat at the low table with the doctor opposite him.

"...so, do you think Akito will approve?" Shigure asked, for once seriousness on his features.

"Well, I can't really say, I would rather not disturb him for the next week or so; he has a high fever and its one that wont go away anytime soon." Was the dragons reply.

"She seems like a very sweet girl, and not only that, she can hug us!" Shigure put his hand to his heart and anime tears came streaming down his face, as he cheerfully said this.

"...how did you guys find her?"

Shigure mimicked exactly what Kyou had said and the doctor nodded in approval.

"Well, there isn't much we can do at the moment. All we can do is hope for the best and that Akito won't take it too harshly. For the time being, I think you should send her to school and-"

"But Ha'ri! She can't speak! Well she can, but only a few words like our names and stuff...so she's going to have to stay home..."

"...I'd rather have her go to school than have her stay alone at home with you out of all people." Hatori said with intensity in his eyes.

"...oh fine then!" Shigure answered with a defeated look. A short time later, Shigure decided to go home and promised Hatori that he would call him, not that Hatori asked.

After lunch, everyone was sitting at the table, chatting with each other. Toru was teaching Suzu new words and she seemed to be learning them faster than normal, Kyou and Yuki were arguing over something not worth writing and Shigure was telling them that one day, they would be best friends and make peace with each other; which made Kyou hit him hard on the head. A short time later, Toru was bouncing with excitement.

"Hey everyone! Look what I tought Suzu to say, it perfect!...go ahead Suzu!" cried Toru. Everyone looked at Suzu and she began.

"...h-hello, my name i-is Suzu, I am five...ten...I am f-fifteeeen years old and like t-to ...s-sing!"

Everyone stared in aw and their mouths dropped to the floor. Everyone except for Toru that is, who looked very proud and happy with her job. Shigure was the first to clap and Yuki joined in, Kyou smiled and gave her a nod telling her that she had done a great job.

For the rest of the day, the four teens decided to go out for a little walk, and Toru said that it was a bit windy outside and that Suzu needed more cloths. So she took her up to her room and peeked into her closet. A few minutes later, Toru came out with a bunch of cloths in her hands and put them in her bed.

"Right! I think these will do since you look to be about my size! Here! Put them on!" she said happily. Some time later, Suzu came out of the bathroom with a fluffy olive-green turtle-neck jumper that had a picture of a teddy-bear on it, a short red checked skirt(( Toru only has skirts so I couldn't really do much about that! --')) and black knee high socks.

"To-ru, are y-you sure?" Suzu asked shyly.

"Of course!!! And you look great! Common we better hurry up! The boys are waiting!" Toru said as she wrapped a black scarf around her neck and handed Suzu a brown one. The quickly ran down the stairs and slipped their shoes on( Suzu had borrowed a pair from Toru) and called out to the boys that they were ready.

"Jeez! Why do girls always take so long???...."

"I'm sorry Kyou-kun, but we had to find Suzu some warmer cloths!"

"Its ok, its ok..." he trailed off when he saw Suzu. Though, the most unfortunate thing happened. Yuki had caught him staring at Suzu, and he punched Kyou in the back.

"OW!!! What was that for you damned rat!?" Kyou yelled.

"For catching you staring impolitely at a young lady..." Yuki replied, and Kyou's face flushed at this.

"Yeah, whatever....just hurry up already!" was all he said.

They all made their way out of the house and walked quietly except for Toru talking to Yuki, and Suzu listening.

"So where do we go first?" asked Yuki.

"Why don't we show Suzu around, and go shopping! And then maybe later we could go to a café!" Toru suggested cheerfully.

"Yes, that would be fine with me Hinda-san!"

"Yeah, I'm ok with that..." said Kyou lazily.

"Suzu!!!" cried Suzu happily.

There was some laughter and they made their way down town.
