Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket, but I hope to own my own manga shop someday.
Kuni: Hi everyone, sorry it'll take me awhile to update. I'm working on an Inuyasha story, Full Metal Alchemist story, and a Yu-Yu Hakusho story as well as this one. Anyways, today our special guest is…
Kazu: Akito Sohma! Who is going to die sooner than everyone thought.
Kuni: Don't you dare kill him!
Kazu: Whatever just bring him in.
Kuni: He left thanks to you and your closet of doom, not to mention that hole in the wall Haru left. Now on with our story.
The Plane Ride
"I think we should all go, it would be a sort of vacation. But you all must promise to behave." scolded Akito Sohma. "Yes Akito-san, we will be good" answered a chorus of voices. "Thank you, aregato Akito Sohma-San I would hate to go by myself" said Tohru who was in the middle of all the zodiacs, and feeling kind of intimidated.
"We will meet at the airport Monday Morning, go home and get packed, and get some rest" said Akito.
Tohru, Yuki, Kyo and Shigure went home and Tohru made them a wonderful dinner. Afterwards they all took their baths and started to pack so that they could relax on Sunday. That morning while they ate Tohru announced"I asked Ou-chan and Hana-chan to come along with us." Yuki Just smiled, Kyo Mumbled "oh Darn-it Not that Yankee", and Shigure thought "High school girls, High school girls, la la laaa, 123, high…" (You know how it goes).
Early Monday morning Yuki and Kyo awoke to Tohru screaming her head off "We're going to be late! The clock. Get up. No time for breakfast." They jumped up in unison, Shigure slowly stretched down in the kitchen, fully dressed and ready to go. "Finally they're up"
They all started to scramble to get dressed. Kyo was throwing cloths, Tohru forgetting things, and Yuki just trying to get his pants on. As Shigure sipped tea and relaxed, "Come on you love birds and don't forget that stupid cat." Just then Kyo came running down the stairs ready to pound Shigure. Also at that moment Tohru came tumbling down the stairs as Yuki hit the top landing. Yuki tried to stop her fall from the top, and Kyo caught her from the bottom of the stairs, so they both ended up sandwiching her. So POOF, cat and rat burger.
With a rat on her head and a cat in her arms Tohru whined"o-oh no, I'm s-so sorry, I'm sorry." Just as Hatori, Momiji, and Shigure met at the door all watching Tohru with Yuki and Kyo. Momiji and Shigure had to hold each other up they we're laughing so hard. Hatori over the uproar says "I'll go get the bags, you get their clothes."
Finally everyone and their stuff were loaded in the car and they were off. When without warning a large bird flew at the windshield and Hatori hit the brakes. Kyo and Yuki went flying, Tohru grabbed Yuki but Kyo landed squarely on Shigure's head claws out. "Yuki your cat is picking on me!" Shigure whined. "Oh shut up." Kyo yelled, and climbed down. Shigure wiped the blood of his forehead. Hatori looked in the rearview at them and said "I don't have time to deal with you right now; we have to get to the airport before Akito has a panic attack." POOF… "O-oh Yuki, Kyo put some clothes on!" Yelled Shigure.
After a very weird morning they finally made it to the airport and found their group, which numbered twenty now with all the zodiac, Kyo, Tohru, Ou, Hana, and servants. They sorted seats and got on the plane. Hana and Ou sat on each side of Tohru.
As everyone got in their seats the questions started to fly (literally). "Tohru what are they Like?" "Tohru – Chan are the Hondas a big family?" at this comment a stranger turns and starts to pay attention to the Sohma's. Tohru-Kun can we be our 'selves' in front of them?" asked Momiji.
Finally everyone sat down all in first class. Kyo, Yuki, and Haru were all in the row in front of Tohru, across from them Aaya, Hatori, and Shigure. Aaya and Shigure were acting like little children, as Hatori rubbed his temples and wondered how long the flight was. Momiji, Kisa, and Kagura were behind the three men. Momiji was hyper and of course the way Aaya and Shigure were acting did nothing to calm him. Finally Tohru couldn't stand it any longer, and she started to sweat, her eyes got big, and you could tell she was stressed. But still everyone continued to talk excitedly.
At that moment the stranger stood up and came back three rows to stand by Ou, and said "Tohru-Kun, Cousin, long time no see! I've missed you!" At this the whole first class fell silent, and Akito (in the last row) sat up to pay attention. Yuki and Kyo said in unison "Cousin?"
"You must be some of the infamous Sohma's I'm going home to meet? Konnichiwa, I'm Kuni Honda, Tohru's older cousin." Said the stranger. So far Tohru had not said a word she kind of looked terrified, or as if she might pass out any minute. "C-Cousin?" she finally managed.
Now, everyone think a minute and picture this girl… she's 18, about 5 foot 10, and slender, well built with muscles enough to kick Kyo's butt. Also she's got white hair with black tiger stripes running through it, and striking blue eyes. She has a Yankees fashion sense, and is wearing a purple crop top, black leather mini skirt, boots, and even has her belly button pierced. So all eyes were on her.
Haru was staring at her like she has two heads, and Kuni didn't think it was cute. "What are you staring at Punk?" She asked a little annoyed. He looks away and says, "I'm not a punk." At this exchange Ou started to laugh, "I'm gonna like her." Hana-Jima mumbles, "Strange waves, very strange." Kyo too is laughing at Haru, so Haru punches him in the arm. Kuni demands with a smile "What are you laughing at Orangey!" At this Yuki smiles, Haru smiles, and Kyo fumes. Tohru can tell she had better do something quick.
Tohru stood up and said to Kuni, "Hajimemashite, Cousin (which means How do you do)! I have not seen any of the Honda family in such a long time; I confess I really don't remember you."
Just then they heard a voice from the back of their section, "Isn't this touching. I was hoping to wait until we had arrived before we had the warm reunions, but I guess this will just have to do. For now. Don't you agree Miss Honda's?" Akito said sarcastically.
And they sped on to China, all but two of them not knowing what to expect. And the two who did know, one didn't care and the other cared too much.
