Shinju: Alrighty! 2nd chapter! NOW SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE MORIKO!
Moriko: ShinjuJaganshi doesn't own Fruits Basket, but she does own Yukiri and Yukari.


"CROSS DRESSER!" she shrieked, pointing her trembling finger at him like a gun.

This slightly unexpected (but reasonably accurate in another dimension) outburst caused several reactions.

Tohru fainted.

Yuki blinked in astonishment and something bordering on amusement.

Yukari put her head in her hands.

And Kyo burst out laughing.

"What is so funny?" asked Yuki in a, 'you better not be thinking what I think you're thinking' tone of voice.

Kyo shook his head, still laughing at the mental picture he now had. Yuki made a mental note to kill him. Later.

Suddenly, a wave of realization hit the two boys squarely in the face like a ton of bricks.

"TOHRU!"

"MISS HONDA!"

Yukari blinked at the frozen boys, then returned to her task of caring for the fallen brunette. After all, she had to make it up to these people for Yukiri's mistake.

"DAMN FREAKS!" shouted Yukiri, storming over to her sister. Yukari had enough sense and experience with Yukiri to put Tohru down before Yukiri grabbed her arm.

"B-b-but Yukiri, we shouldn't…I mean…what if they are…?" protested Yukari weakly, trying to pull away. Yukiri didn't let go. Instead, she continued down the opposite path from the other three.

"Oops! Sorry 'bout that!"

The idiotic man didn't even look back at the girl he had run into. So of course, he wouldn't have noticed the death glare her sister was sending him, or the shocked looks of the other three students.

And he certainly didn't notice the large cloud of pink smoke that was the visual equivalent of the word, "poof!"

"DAMN IT!" screamed Yukiri at the sky. She wasn't exactly religious, far from it, but she really, really needed someone to blame this whole mess on. And God was her first choice.

Yuki just stared, not entirely sure what to think of the whole…thing.

Kyo was trying to figure out exactly what the hell was going on. And failing beautifully.

But of course, Tohru, being the lovable idiot that she is, ran over to see what animal the girl was. It didn't matter to her that there were now 14 animals in the Zodiac. She just wanted to help.

But it appeared that the baby wolf in front of her had other ideas.

The tiny thing scampered around behind a bush, clearly embarrassed.

"Yukari-san, please come out! We know about the Zodiac secret. We won't hurt you!" begged Tohru.

A little white wolf head poked out from behind a bush.

"You know?" whispered the little wolf timidly, "You won't call us monsters?"

Tohru gave that gentle smile that she was famous for. "Of course not!"

A poof of smoke filled the area behind the bushes, and a pale arm stuck out. Yukiri already had the clothes ready. Then she turned to the group.

"I'm Yukiri Sohma and that's Yukari Sohma. We're the year of the wolf." She stated. It wasn't really an introduction, because she had no respect in her voice, only irritation.

"Yuki Sohma. Year of the Rat." Said Yuki shortly. This girl…didn't exactly frighten him…aw, what the hell. She was like a loose cannon. Unpredictable and wild. She was scary.

"Kyo Sohma. Year of the Cat." Snarled Kyo, after much begging from Tohru that mainly consisted of her protesting that Kyo-kun and Yukiri-san should be polite to each other, because violence wasn't nice.

He expected her reaction to be one of revulsion, of hatred.

Instead, she smiled.

"You might not be so bad after all."

Tohru chose this moment (because as we all know, Tohru had impeccable timing) to jump in.

"You should come over our house Yukiri-san! I'm sure you and Shigure-san will be great friends!" said Tohru, smiling sweetly.

A loud crash sounded from the bush as a fully dressed Yukari tripped over it. Almost without thinking, Kyo held out his hand. Yukari stared at it, blushing, before she gently put her hand in his.

"Thank you." She whispered.

Yuki chose to ignore this rather fluffy scene, instead choosing to make sure Yukiri wasn't going to try and kill someone.

Her left eye was twitching slightly.

"Sh…Shigure-san you say..." she whispered thoughtfully. Tohru, oblivious to the demonic aura surrounding the other girl, smiled even harder and nodded.

"That sounds lovely…" agreed Yukiri, her voice sounding strained.

Yukari whimpered.


Shigure sat at the table, reading. He basked in the realm of calmness that was his home. Of course, Shigure enjoyed the daily entertainment that was the children, but every now and then, he needed peace.

There was a knocking at the door.

"Coming!" he called cheerfully. Probably just the food he'd ordered. Or Hatori. Or Aaya looking for Yuki. It might even be Mit-chan coming for his manuscript.

Shigure pulled open the door.

"And what can I do for you?" he asked the young woman standing at the door happily. Such a pretty young lady! And a high school girl too!

"Yes…" the whisper sent chills up and down his spine, "You can die a slow, painful death at my hands!"

Shigure blanched as the young girl pulled out a pocket knife. He didn't know what was going on here, but instincts were telling him to get the hell away.

Then, enlightenment hit him.

"Oh…shit!" he gasped, sprinting madly up the stairs, Yukiri (because, of course, only our beloved Yukiri can be so charming) close behind him.

"GET BACK HERE AND DIE! DIE YOU STUPID DOG! DIE, DIE, DIE!"

"AHHH!"

"I'VE GOT YOU NOW! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

CRASH!

"DAMN IT! GET BACK HERE AND DIE YOU DAMN DOG! FOR 16 MISRABLE YEARS I'VE SUFFERED BECAUSE OF YOU! AND NOW IT ALL ENDS HERE! BWAHAHAHAHA!"

"AAAAAHHHHHH!"

SPLASH!

"ARGH! I HATE WATER! DIE YOU BASTARD! SUFFER!"

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

CRASH!

"THERE'S NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN YOU COWARD! NOW GET BACK HERE AND DIE LIKE A MAN!"

"I'M A DOG!"

"I HATE YOU!"

THUNK!

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I'VE GOT YOU NOW!"

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

CRASH!

"DAMN YOU AND YOUR FUCKING BOOKSHELVES FULL OF STUPID BOOKS! DIE, DIE, DIE!"

During this…event, Kyo, Yuki, Tohru, and Yukari were standing at the foot of the stairs, surveying the damage done to the first floor.

"Nee-chan's really mad this time…" whispered Yukari. When she looked over at Yuki though, there was no expression.

Let's look inside Yuki's head again.

I'm so glad that she isn't pissed off at me. Thank God it isn't me. I hope she gets rid of all her anger because I'm now officially freaked out.

Back to reality…

Tohru looked at Kyo.

An evil smile covered the Cat's face.

"Oh he's had this coming to him for years," said Kyo happily, "This is just what he deserves."

It seemed to Tohru that for Kyo-kun, Christmas had come early. And with lots and lots of candy.


Shinju: BWAHAHAHAHA! I call it, the Great Shigure Chase!

Moriko: Review! It's good for the soul!
