DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of these copyrighted items that are probably illegal to be replicating in this story but oh well I'm a happy-go-lucky kind of person! But, I still don't own these things, so don't kill me, kay? You promise? Thanks and HoPe YoU eNjOy ThE sToRy! P.S- Brett is the real-life Mahia's BF. (Mahia my best friend, colleen and Yumi ME!) Oh yeah, and Akito's personality is based on the DVD series, not the manga, so he's a guy, not a girl! Bye!

The next morning, Mahia awoke to Yumi with the phone. She was fully dressed, and she had the phone in her hands.

"Mahia? It's Brett." said Yumi sweetly as she passed the phone over to Mahia.

"Good luck."

"Hello?" said Mahia sleepily on the phone.

"Hey. I just wanted to tell you what happened with my parents."

"What did they say?"

"Well… they, they were confused, they claimed that this was the curse by a devil, so… Mahia, I was rejected. If Shigure has room, I'll have to come live with you. My parents don't remember me anymore."

"Oh, Brett… It's, it's not fair! Do you need to bunk in here? I'm sure you can. Oh, I feel so bad…" said Mahia. Really, she was sad, but she was still a bit happy that Brett would be moving in with them. (Possibly.)

"Hey, Gure-San? Brett needs a place to stay now. Do we have an extra room?" asked Mahia.

"Ah, yes. I talked it over with Hari and Akito. They both think it best for him to stay here. But Akito says he demands to meet you and Yumi sometime soon. Is maybe… Tomorrow okay?" asked Shigure. The two girls nodded and went off, in attempt to get Tohru to help clear out the guest room.

That night, the guest room was clean, and everyone was once gathered in a circle for a nice game of truth or dare.

"Hmmm… Tohru. Truth or dare?" asked Mahia.

"Um, truth, I suppose." said Tohru.

"Do you think Yuki and Kyo are cute? And I mean BOTH of them, not just one." said Mahia devilishly.

"Oh! Um, uh.. I kind-of think, um, yes… They are both, erm, pretty cute…" said Tohru as she blushed more deeply than she had ever blushed before.

"Okay… Yumi. Truth or dare?" said Tohru.

"Dare me, baby!" said Yumi.

"Hmm… Ah ha! I dare you to wear the mini-skirt to school tomorrow! I've never seen you wear anything but pants. I think it'd be cute!" said Tohru. Yumi moaned and agreed.

"Yuki. Truth or dare?" asked Yumi.

"Let's see… Dare." answered Yuki.

"I dare you to kiss Tohru on the lips."

"Oh, um, Miss Honda, would you mind, or no?" asked a blushing Yuki.

Tohru blushed again and said she would mind. Yuki then went over to her and kissed her. After about ten seconds, Yuki sort-of got into the kiss and pulled Tohru towards him, but luckily for Kyo, he transformed whilst doing this.

Kyo was sitting over on the other side of the circle with an infuriated look on his face. That no good dirty rotten damn gay freaking rat! He thought. I KNOW he enjoyed that kiss. It could have been mine! That BASTARD!

"Kyo, stop thinking mean things about Yuki." said Shigure from the other room.

"How the hell did you know I was thinking bad things about Yuki?" yelled Kyo madly.

"Oh, Kyo, you simple, simple minded little feline. EVERYONE knows that's ALL you ever think about. Your hatred for Yuki. That, and your love for Tohru." said Shigure.

"YOU'RE ONE TO TALK, YOU PERVERTED DOG! I'LL BET THAT IF TRANSFORMED RIGHT NOW, YOU'D GO OVER TO ONE OF THE GIRLS AND TRY TO SNIFF THEIR BUTT!" yelled Kyo furiously.

After about ten more dares, everyone decided that they should all go to bed. They went o their rooms and most of them fell asleep. Yumi and Mahia were awake; troubled by the fact that tomorrow they would be facing one of the most feared people that they had ever known.

"Hey, Mahia? Are you a bit… Nervous to be meeting Akito?" asked Yumi.

"Um, yeah, just a bit. You?"

"Yeah, I have a queasy stomach. You know… I remember Akito being particularly nice to me when we were younger…" said Yumi as a slight shiver went through her.

"Do you think that I'll be able to see Brett behind Akito's back?" asked Mahia.

"I don't know… But I do doubt it. You see, the reason I broke up with Haru is, well, have you heard about what happened to Rin?" asked Yumi.

"No, what?"

"Well, Akito apparently found out about Haru and Rin being together. I heard that he literally threw Rin out of a window when he found out. I didn't want anything to happen to either of us, so…" Yumi's voice trailed off.

"Oh… I suppose I'll have to get on Akito's good side then…"

"Have you thought about moving to America?" asked Yumi.

"Yeah… I don't wanna."

"Me either… I love Japan."

Yumi and Mahia were up bright and early that morning in preparation for meeting Akito. Mahia was busy applying makeup to her face, whilst Yumi was re-dying her hair to red and orange stripes. Luckily, Yumi didn't have to wear that girl's uniform at school until tomorrow… So it would wait…

"Come on, girls! It's time to go meet Akito." said Shigure. He would have said it in a different tone, but he wasn't sure is he should have been happy for them or afraid for them. Shigure pointed out to Hatori's car.

"Good luck!" he called out to the girls.

As the two got into Hari's car, they were deafened by loud punk rock music.

"Why is there punk rock music on? You don't seem like the type that would listen to that kind of stuff!" yelled Yumi over the music.

"Haru was the last person in here." yelled Hari.

"Then why haven't you turned it off yet?" asked Yumi. Hari pondered this before just shrugging and switching the dial to classical music.

"Well, here we are." said Hatori. As the girls stepped out of the car, Hatori explained where Akito's part of the main house was. The girls walked into the house and knocked on Akito's door.

"Who is it?" asked a voice from inside.

"It's Yumi and Mahia Sohma." said Mahia nervously.

"You may come in." said the voice. Yumi opened the door. Inside, it was a bit dark. Akito was sitting alone on a futon.

"Hello. It's been a long time." said Akito.

"Uh, yeah, I mean why yes, it has." said Yumi.

"You two have changed quite a bit… Particularly Yumi." said Akito, inspecting them from head to toe. To Mahia, the thought of Akito inspecting her was a bit creepy… He was like a camera… If the picture is taken, all you have to do is find it and look at it any time you want… Like a finger print… It was just a bit eerie to her.

"I don't think you have changed that much." said Mahia sweetly.

"I suppose that that was a compliment?"

"Er, um, yes, I suppose…" Mahia's voice trailed off.

" Indeed. Well, let's go into the sunlight, shall we?"

"Er, kay…" Mahia and Yumi followed Akito out of the door and into the beautiful Sohma garden.

"So… You two lived n America for quite a while, am I correct?" asked Akito as the three strolled through the garden.

"Yes, but our parents passed away, so we decided to move back to Japan." explained Yumi.

"And so now you two live with Gure-San."

"Yes. We really like living there. It's a very nice place." said Mahia.

"What about Tohru?"

"I don't mind her, but Yumi isn't particularly fond of her."

"Hm. So she isn't a bother… good." Akito picked a flower from the garden and put it to his nose. He then turned to Mahia and Yumi. He put the flower in Yumi's hair, which caused a huge blush. Why did he do that? Akito doesn't seem like the type that would do something like that… thought Mahia. Oh well…

Yumi then leaned in to Mahia over to her ear.

"Er, should I thank him or… Oh, I'm so confused…" whispered Yumi.

Mahia shrugged and then looked back at Akito.

"Are you planning to go back to America any time soon?" asked Akito.

"Hmm… I think maybe we might take a trip there, but only for a bit." said Yumi.

"Good. I want you and the rest of family to remain in Japan." said Akito.

"Yes, we wouldn't want the curse to be world wide." said Mahia.

Suddenly, music started blasting from Yumi's purse. It was "Best Friend" by Toy Box. Akito looked at her purse as Yumi fumbled with her Mp3 player.

"Sorry!" she said with another blush. Akito gave a cold smile and continued walking.

"Now, what animals are you two again?" asked Akito.

"I'm the fox of the zodiac. My mother told me that the rat also deceived a bunch of animals, for the cat told an animal who told another and so on." explained Mahia.

"And you, Yumi? Which animal are you? Don't make me hug you." said Akito.

At this comment, Yumi got butterflies in her stomach and answered Akito.

"I'm the, er, squirrel of the zodiac." said Yumi nervously.

Akito nodded and stopped.

"If you two move back to America, I would have to send someone after you. And you know the rest of the rules, correct?"

"Yes." said both Mahia and Yumi at the same time.

"You know, it is quite unusual for me to take a liking to one of the family members, but I have to you two… particularly Yumi. And those I like and who follow the rules may be rewarded."

Akito continued.

"I have heard that you, Mahia, have been fooling around with Brett, the emu of the zodiac. There's no denying it. You two must stop. I forbid zodiac members to get involved with anyone else. Another rule is to what you are told. Those who break these rules will be punished. Am I understood?"

The two girls nodded.

"Good. Now, please make your way back to Hatori's part of the estate. Yumi please wait a bit. Mahia, please proceed. If you want to wait with Hatori, you may."

Mahia hugged Yumi and whispered "You're toast" in her ear and then walked away. (Though Mahia could swear that Yumi was sweating a bit from nerves.)

As soon as Mahia was a bit of a distance away, Akito turned to Yumi.

"You know, if I say so there can be a male in your life. But only if I say so. I could give you permission for one person, if you'd like…" said Akito as he moved in a bit closer to Yumi. (Her hula-hoop of personal space was being WAY trespassed on!) Now, Yumi was getting so freaked out by this odd behavior from Akito that she was frightened and she ended up transforming.

"Yumi?" said Akito.

"Oh, um, I'm s-s-sorry! Eh, this has n-never happened b-b-before…" stuttered Yumi.

Akito picked her up and gathered her cloths.

"Hm, I'm sure you are sorry. But you are still really cute. So stay in Japan. Okay?" said Akito.

Hmm… I don't think I've EVER seen Akito show compassion to anyone but himself. Lucky me… (sarcasm)

Akito stroked Yumi's head and got Mahia to carry Yumi and her cloths to Hatori's house.

Yumi and Mahia got back to Shigure' house just as school was let out. By the time they had gotten back, Yumi hadn't transformed back.

"Why is Yumi in her squirrel form? DON'T TELLL ME SHE HUGGED AKITO!" yelled Kyo.

"Eh, you SO won't believe what happened, but…" Yumi explained what happened as everyone listened in disbelief.

"Hm… It's strange, but I think Akito might have a bit of a… thing for Yumi…" said Yuki. (A shiver went through Yumi at that)

"Wow. And he actually helped her when she transformed… Lucky her…" said Brett.

Suddenly, a large puff of smoke came up and Yumi transformed back. Everyone closed their eyes as she zoomed upstairs to get dressed.

"Oh, ickle Yumi-Chan has a boyfriend! Shameful, of everyone, you chose Akito! Love, love, oochie goochie! Kissy kissy goo goo!" said Shigure. Yumi then hit him on the head and seemed a bit like Kyo for the moment.

"Oh, Tohru, I'll only wear the short uniform if you wear the unifom I picked out for YOU." said Yumi slyly.

"Okay! Which uniform?" asked Tohru.

"One of Yuki's!" exclaimed Yumi wickedly.

The next morning, Yumi rolled out of bed and grumbled about. She wasn't too happy about wearing a mini-skirt, but at least Tohru would have to wear one of Yuki's uniforms… As Yumi walked down the stairs, she saw Mahia. She was wearing the short uniform for moral support.

Shigure took one look at them and wolf-whistled. Yumi simply high-kicked him and gave him two black eyes.

"I hope that makes your vision blurry!" she hissed to Shigure.

"Oh, you two look so cute in that uniform! You really do look good!" said Tohru cheerfully.

"Shut up. Are you enjoying YUKI'S uniform?" asked Yumi.

"Eh, um… I suppose! I'm sorry!" said Tohru as she bowed down, blushing slightly.

Yumi then went over to Shigure who was getting a camera and started beating him up. Mahia then joined in. Mii then burst in.

"Shigure, where's my novel?" she yelled.

"Wait… You two are beating up Shigure? I LOVE YOU TWO! YOU ARE THE SWEETEST GIRLS IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD! GIVE ME A BIG HUG!" cried Mii as she ran over to Yumi and Mahia and gave them a lung-squashing hug.

"We always beat up Shigure!" said Mahia.

"I love you two girls!" cried Mii happily. Yes, tears were actually running down her face because it's something she had longed to see for her whole life.

"Come on, let's get to school!" said Tohru, who was at the door with her bag, ready to go. Everyone followed her out of the door and made their way to the school.

When they finally got there, everyone stared at Tohru, Yumi, and Mahia. (Mostly the guys.)

"Why is she wearing the prince's uniform?"

"Why are those two chicks in hot cloths for once?"

"She doesn't seem like the type that would wear someone else's clothing"

"Why is everyone whispering to each other?"

"Ugh, this is gonna be a hell of a day for Tohru." said Uo from behind everyone.

"Hey Uo!" said Tohru.

"Why are you Yuki's uniform?" asked Hana.

"Oh, truth or dare last night… Oh, and this is Mahia and Yumi. They're living with Kyo Yuki and I right now."

"Really? Are they related to Yuki or Kyo?"

"Yeah, we are. Oh, and just so you know, I HATE skirts. I never wear them." said Yumi, shooting a mean look at Tohru.

"Oh my god. Look over there." said Mahia.

Akito was walking over to everyone.

"What the hell is that guy doing here?" exclaimed Kyo.

"Uo, Hana, please, maybe you should go…" said Yuki as the two girls scurried off.

"Hello everyone. I came to talk to Brett." said Akito as he walked up to the group.

"Eh, he's coming, I can see him just over there." said Yumi.

"Thank you, Yumi. I'll be seeing you. Visit me soon." said Akito to Yumi as he walked away. Everyone looked at a flabbergasted Yumi.

"Oh, well, at least he's kind-of cute…" said Tohru.

"Tohru?" said Yumi.

"Yes?"

"Shut up."

"Eh, kay…" Tohru backed away from Yumi.

"Hey, don't be so mean to her. She was just being nice. You're acting like Kyo!" said Yuki.

"Hey! Shut up, you girly man!" yelled Kyo.

"Hey, you have no right to be offended! I was being compared to you! I would be flattered! Anyways, Yuki went to the trouble of saying your name…That's a big step for him…" yelled Yumi.

"Hey, stop fighting everyone, or I'll you all!" yelled Mahia. Before you knew it, everyone was yelling at each other, until the bell rang.

During her first hour class, Yumi was asked out by about ten guys. The same thing applied to Mahia. All of the guys liked the girls in their mini-skirts so much they started the Princess Yumi and Princess Mahia Club. The president? Makoto Takei. Lucky Mahia and lucky Yumi, huh? All of the guys just loved the skirts, but the Prince Yuki Fan Club was suspicious.

"They're going to attract the attention of our beloved Prince Yuki!" cried Mio Yamagisi.

"Yes, the must be put to a stop!" cried Motoko. (They didn't do anything, though, because it was only one day that they wore the miniskirts.

At gym, Yumi took the liberty of switching her skirt with some long gym pants. Her blue skirt was simply layered over her navy blue gym pants, so she went around school like that until the final bell rang. She ran back to the house and discovered a note on the front door.

Dear everyone minus Shigure-

This is from Momiji! I want to invite you all to the Sohma estate for a super-duper ultra fun totally awesome coolio sleepover bash! It will be held this weekend, and we will have snacks and scary movies and lots of fun stuff to do! It's gonna be soooooo fun, so come! Oh, and Tohru can come too!

I'll see ya at the super-duper ultra fun totally awesome coolio sleepover bash!

Love, (to Mahia)

Momiji.

Yumi then seriously considered ripping it off, but she knew that Momiji would make them all come, so she just brought it in. She put the note on the table and then peeked into Shigure's study room. He looked so peaceful, sitting there, writing on his little pad of paper. She silently peeked in a bit further and noticed what was written on the pads of paper. On the paper, the only thing that was written was "HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS IN MINISKIRTS!" over and over again.

"You know, Mii is going to KILL you when she finds out that you're slacking off." said Yumi from behind Shigure. This made Shigure jump and all of his papers flew around the room. A picture then fluttered over to Yumi and landed at her feet.

"SHIGURE! WHY IS THERE A PICTURE OF MAHIA TOHRU AND I IN MINISKIRTS?" screeched Yumi. Shigure backed away as Yumi advanced up to him.

Outside, as the group of Sohmas, Hondas, and Brett walked into the house, they heard loud crashes and bangs going on inside. They all started running inside to find out what was going on.

"Mahia! Shigure got a picture of us in a MINISKIRT!" yelled Yumi. A black dog suddenly emerged from inside the study room. Bunches of fur were pulled out here and there. He ran under Tohru, when Yuki and Kyo exploded at him.

"GET OUT FROM UNDER THERE YOU PERVERT!"

"SIT! STAY! DIE, YOU DAMN PERVERT!"

While all of this was going on, Brett was looking around with a puzzled expression on his face.

Mahia sighed.

"The everyday happenings of Shigure's house…"

She then noticed the note on the table. As soon as everything settled down, she showed the note to everyone.

"That sounds really fun! So… Does everyone want to go?" said Tohru happily.

"Hm. I don't think so, but you can go on." said Yuki.

"Yeah. It sounds really retarded." said Kyo as he crossed his arms.

"Aww, but that would make Tohru sad, huh?" said Mahia.

"Yes, it wouldn't be the same without you two! I want us all to be together." said Tohru sweetly to Yuki and Kyo.

"Ahh, it feels sooooo good to take advantage of them, doesn't it?" said Mahia to Yumi. Yumi nodded and the two girls broke out in giggles.

WHAT'S GOING ON? WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN? TUNE IN THE NEXT TIME I FEEL LIKE PUBLISHING A CHAPTER TO FIND OUT!
