Hi, there everyone DragonGirl4 here dropping in with another update. I'm so glad that you all enjoyed the last chapter. I was actually sort of nervous about posting it. The whole Yuki/Akito thing. But you guys liked it so. I guess I had nothing to worry about right?

Ok to answer your questions:

Yes, Yuki did kill Akito. As you could tell from the flashback it was an accident. And it is because of this that the old cursed members are still cursed. I guess you could say that it's Akito's revenge on them.

Spoiler: I'm sorry to do this but Akito is a woman. Trust me I have seen the manga pictures. And she is defiantly a woman. I'm sorry for telling you if you didn't know but after getting like 6 reviews telling me that I typed the chapter wrong and that Akito is a man…. well…you get the point.

Ok now that that's over with. On with the story. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. As promised there will be two new characters in this chapter. Hopefully you'll remember them from chapter two.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Fruits Basket or it's characters. I do however own my original characters and would appreciate you asking before you use them. Kay?

Chapter 12: The Barnyard Gang

Yukiko sighed as she looked in the mirror while pulling her hair back with her usual blue clip. She ran her brush through the lower part of her hair before adjusting her uniform shirt. She smirked at her reflection before turning and leaving her room.

Tohru is seen standing in the kitchen washing dishes as Yukiko came through the door. "You're running a little late today." Tohru said turning to look at her daughter who rolled her eyes as she walked over to the fridge and removed the milk. "I know." Yukiko said simply as she pulled a glass from one of the cabinets. "Well, I saved you some breakfast." Tohru said as she watched Yukiko drain the glass and set it in the sink.

"As you said I'm late." Yukiko said as she brushed by her mother and walked out of the kitchen. Tohru sighed sadly as she hung her head.

Tomi is seen leaning his back on one of the beams of the house. He turns his head when he hears the door open. He smiles as he pushes himself off the beam as Yukiko walks out the door. Upon seeing him her eyes narrow, but she pays him no attention as she continues on her way. Tomi falling into step beside her.

" What do you want?" She snapped her temper flaring as he continues to walk beside her. Tomi shrugged as he put his hand behind his head. "Nothing. I just thought since we live in the same house we might as well walk together." He said looking up at the sky. Yukiko let out an irritated growl as she closed her eyes. "I don't need you to walk me to school." She snapped giving him a death glare. Tomi let out a small laugh. "Who said I was walking you? Technically; I'm walking with you." He said giving her a large smile that made her grit her teeth in anger. " I don't care if you're walking me or if you're walking with me. Technically I don't like you so go away. Damned rat. " She growled as she continued to walk. Tomi smirked as he continued to walk beside her.

Several minutes later (and several death threats) Tomi and Yukiko arrived at school. Yukiko's anger was to the boiling point when they walked into their classroom and took their seats. "There you two are. I was afraid that you wouldn't make it." Miari said cheerfully turning to look at them. "One of us almost didn't." Yukiko snapped giving Tomi a death glare who just smiled at her. "At least you're both here. That's what counts." Miari said enthusiastically bouncing slightly in her seat and smiling. Tomi chuckled as he returned the smile. Yukiko rolled her eyes thankful that the rest of the conversation ended when the teacher walked into the room.

Ding Dong tolled the lunch bell.

Yukiko smirked as she shut her book and began put her things in her desk. "Hey Yukiko don't you have a meeting today?" Miari's inquisitive voice asked from in front of her. "If it were any of your business. Then I would tell you." Yukiko snapped as she put her book in her desk before looking up at both Miari and Tomi. " A meeting for what?" Tomi asked looking at Miari as Yukiko stood up and walked towards the door. "Student Council." Miari said as she also stood and followed Yukiko. "Oh." Tomi answered as he followed the two.

"I've heard a rumor that she's up for Vice President this year." Miari said looking up at Tomi who nodded. Yukiko's temper was beginning to flair and it was obvious by the fact that a pair of laid cat ears had appeared on her head. She opened her mouth and began to turn around to snap at the two but was cut off when a hand suddenly clapped over her mouth and dragger her into a nearby classroom.

Tomi blinked when he saw Yukiko be dragged into the classroom. Miari sighed from beside him as she put her hands on her hips. "Come on Tomi. We'd better stop the blood shed before it begins." She said with her normal enthusiasm as she motioned for him to follow her into the classroom.

What Tomi saw when they entered the classroom totally shocked him. Yukiko stood in the front of the room being hugged/crushed by another young woman. Tomi guessed she was a second year student by her age, which he guessed was around seventeen. She had shoulder length dark gray; black tipped hair, which flipped out on the ends. And dark purple eyes that reminded him of Yuki's.

"Oh my poor under privileged cousin! Allow me to save you from this hell you call fashion!" The girl said dramatically while squeezing Yukiko harder to her chest. "Let me the hell go! You stupid boar!" Yukiko yelled trying to push the woman off. This only caused the woman to hold on harder. " Denial is the first step to recovery! Now embrace the problem." The woman said rocking Yukiko back and forth.

Tomi stood a large sweet-drop on the side of his head as he watched this. He blinked when he noticed that Miari was standing calmly to the side chuckling as she watched the scene. "Oh my; it would seem that Yukiko's been caught. Again." Miari said putting a hand to her mouth. Tomi raised an eyebrow as he looked back at the two. "Shouldn't we help her?" He asked noticing the death grip the woman had on Yukiko. Miari sighed. "There's only one person she'll liste…" She began but was cut off by a stern voice from the doorway.

"Mika; your causing a scene." Everyone in the room froze as they all turned to look at the owner of the voice. A young man is seen standing in the doorway his blue eyes focused on Mika who hung her head as she released Yukiko. Who growled as she pulled away from her cousin and rubbed her sore neck.

The man smiled as he turned to look at Tomi who blinked when he saw the resemblance to Hatori in his face. He was a little shorter than Hatori himself, with deep blue eyes; but the most striking feature was his hair, which was short on the sides and longer on the top, and the left side of his bangs where brushed over to the side. His bangs were dark brown, while the top was a light red brown, while the back of his hair was a creamy light brown.

"Hello Yasou." Miari said shyly her cheeks going red as he looked at her and smiled. "It's good to see you Miari. I hope Mika hasn't caused you two much trouble." He said giving Mika dirty look. Mika smiled widely at him and gave a small wave. Miari's face went even redder when Yasou spoke to her. " Oh no; she hasn't been any trouble at all." Miari said quietly as she hung her head.

" Speak for your self." Yukiko grumbled still rubbing her neck. "But my dear cousin; I only want to help you!" Mika said turning her eyes going all sparkly as she clasped her hands to her chest. "I don't need help. And if I did you would be the last person I go to for help!" Yukiko yelled her cat ears appearing again.

Nearby Tomi sighed as he watched the ensuing fight from in between Yasou and Miari. He noticed that every so often Miari would glance in Yasou's direction and quickly look away when she thought he was looking at her. He smirked when he realized what was going on. He also noted that Yasou seemed fully focused on watching the bickering cousins. It surprised him that he could see the same longing look that Miari had in her eyes every time she looked at him in his eyes as he watched Mika.

"Very well. If you won't allow me to help you. Will you at least help me; cousin?" Mika asked crossing her arms and looking at Yukiko who sighed as she hung her head. Her fuse was getting short, and she knew what would happen if she totally lost control of her temper. She hoped that if she answered this one question that Mika would pack up her little boar hooves and leave with Yasou. "Fine. What is it?" She growled her head still down.

Mika's purple eyes lit up when she heard this. "You mean you'll actually help me? Oh happy day; my dear cousin has finally accepted me!" Mika cried fake tears flowing from her eyes as she reached over to hug Yukiko. Whose turquoise eyes flashed as she looked up at Mika. "Touch me and you die." She hissed making Mika back up a step. " Alright I guess I shouldn't except miracles right off the bat. Since you're obviously going to be my Vice President next year. I thought I would come to you for advice on this." Mika said ignoring the death glare she was receiving from Yukiko at the mention of being Vice President.

"Anyways I've already talked to several of the teachers and they all agree with me. You see we believe that the current student uniform is to dull…so I have personally created a solution to this problem!" Mika said as she reached into a multicolored purse that was behind her on the desk. "Aren't they the cutest!" She asked happily as she thrust several multicolored buttons under Yukiko's noise. An anger cross-appeared on Yukiko's head when she saw that each button had a picture of one of the zodiac animals on it. (Including a gray and brown spotted cat.)

Nearby Tomi sighed anime style, while Miari was busy trying to contain her laughter, while Yasou stood still calmly watching the spectacle.

"So what do you think?" Mika asked giving Yukiko a large smile. "What do I think?" Yukiko asked her head still down. Mika nodded wanting to hear her opinion. "I think you have way to much free time. And need a damn hobby!" Yukiko yelled looking up at her cousin.

Unfortunately Mika wasn't expecting this so when Yukiko's voice rose she jumped slightly and when she did she her butt bumped the Teacher's desk that was behind her. An empty metal dish that had been setting near the edge of the desk fell off and made a loud ringing noise.

Boom!

As a large puff of dark blue smoke appeared from where Yasou had been standing. Tomi blinked as the smoke cleared and his jaw dropped at what he saw. Where Yasou had been standing now stood a huge brown tri colored longhorn bull. "Well I guess this answers my question of whether or not he's a Sohma." Tomi said looking at the bull who looked at him with it's large blue eyes.

"It's kinda hard not to notice now isn't it?" Yukiko snapped giving Tomi a dirty look. "Guys we really don't have time for this." Miari said taking note of the current situation. "I'm afraid Miari's right. I believe they'll notice a bull in a classroo…" Yasou began calmly but stopped when the door opened. And an older teacher stuck his head in the classroom.

"Oh my the science department certainly are getting realistic models now a days." The teacher said looking at Yasou who was standing deathly still. The three others all had sweet-drops on their heads as the teacher looked at them. "What are all you kid doing in hear? Get to class." He said as he turned and walked out of the room. All four of them let out sighs of relief when the door shut.

Boom!

Miari, Mika, and Yukiko are seen very quickly leaving the room. Just as they did the bell rang for class to begin. Mika sighed as she turned and looked at Yukiko. "Unfortunately another lunch has come to an end. Until we meet again I bid you farewell cousin, and you as well Miari." Mika said with at flash and made her way down the hall.

"Bye Mika!" Miari called as she waved at the junior. "Damned bore." Yukiko grumbled crossing her arms and looking away.

Well that's the end of another chapter. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter as much as I did. Mika has to be one of my favorite characters from this story. There will be more of her and Yasou in the next chapters.

I've been meaning to explain this for a while but I kept forgetting. The new cursed members have I guess you could say an add on to their curse. They have certain triggers that make them transform. For example: Sachi transforms when she is upset, and Yasou transforms when he hears a bell or a bell-like sound. You'll have to keep reading to find out what the others triggers are.

And just so you know Yasou is the Class President, and the teacher that walked into the classroom is the same teacher from the show that kept walking in on the 'We Love Yuki' fan club.

Anyways I hope you all read and enjoy and leave lots of nice reviews.

Until Next Time. Happy Trails.
