Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket. (Sigh)

Claimer: I own the OC and this plot, so BACK OFF!

Snaps to my first reviewer, ClampLover!

I HAVE DECIDED! The pairing for Kyo will be KyoxUo-chan. And for Shigure, it will be ShigurexMii. I just LOVE love-hate relationships.

Kagura: NOOOOOOOOO! Don't you dare give my KYO-KUN to that witch Arisa.

Uo-chan: What did you call me? (Looks ready to hit someone)

Kagura: N-n-nothing!

Chapter 2

"DIE YOU KUSO NEZUMI!"

Yasu watched amusedly as Yuki and Kyo battled in the front yard. Shigure was running around in circles screaming about his beloved house while Tohru was panicking.

"Who won in their last fight?" Yasu asked Haru, who was sitting beside her. He shrugged and ran a hand through his hair.

"I think it was Yuki. Of course it's always Yuki." he scoffed.

Yasu laughed. "Kyo's getting soft." she snickered. She stood up and brushed the dirt of her pants. "I'm going to cook breakfast." she yelled, but nobody except Tohru heard her.

"No Yasu-san. I'll cook!" she yelled, running after Yasu who was walking into the kitchen.

Yasu pulled out a tray of eggs from the fridge and shook her head. "No Honda-chan. You're always cooking. You need to take a rest." she said. She pulled out a frying pan and greased it with oil. "Yuki-chan is right. You work too hard."

Tohru grabbed some onigiri from the fridge and placed in the microwave. "Did Yuki-kun say much about me?" she asked. "In your letters, I mean."

Yasu sniggered. "Yes." she said. "He mentioned you in every letter. Would you like to take a look after breakfast?"

Tohru blushed but nodded.

"Bye-bye my little munchkins." Yasu said happily as the small troupe of Zodiacs got ready to leave.

"Who you callin' a munchkin!" snapped Haru.

"You, duh!" retorted Yasu.

The others snickered at this. Yasu bent down and hugged Kisa. "I'll come by tomorrow." she promised.

"Really, Ya-san?" asked Momiji.

Yasu ruffled Momiji's hair. "Really." she promised.

She waved enthusiastically as they all walked off. When they were gone, she turned to Tohru, who was waving off the other Jyuunishi as well.

"Come on Tohru-chan, I'll show you those letters." she said cheerfully. She grabbed Tohru's hand and led her up the stairs and to her room.

Tohru seated herself on the floor while Yasu rummaged around in her closet. Finally, she emerged with a big brown box.

"This contains everything the Jyuunishi have sent to me while I lived in the city." she said. "The letters are arranged chronologically and by the person who sent it."

She opened the box and pulled out a large and very thick manila envelope with the words "Yuki Sohma" scrawled onto it in large block letters. She opened it and drew a stack of letters out.

"These are Yuki's letters from high school, when he met you." Yasu said. She grabbed the first letter and opened it, then handed the paper to Tohru.

Dear Ya-chan,

Today when I was walking home from school with Kyo, we saw a girl sleeping in a tent on Sohma property. Yes, a tent! God, how can anyone stand living there?

Anyway, Shigure offered the girl a place to stay in our house. Turns out that her parents are both dead, and she has nowhere to go. Sad, really.

Oh, I just found out her name. It's Tohru Honda. It's a nice name. It goes well with Honda-san's looks. She's really pretty. Apparently, Shigure noticed too, because when she was cooking dinner, that stupid pervert began singing "High school girls…high school girls…high school girls."

Stupid head. The baka neko and I punched him through the roof. After that, he kept moaning about his house. He deserved it. I'm sure that if you were here, you would have punched him too. Or at least screamed at him.

Honda-san reminds me of you, really. You both are nice, sweet, and funny. She would make a good girlfriend for some lucky guy one day.

Come back soon, okay? We all miss you.

Yuki

Tohru blushed profusely. "Yuki-kun really thinks I'm pretty?" she asked.

Yasu smiled. "Apparently so." She pulled out the next letter and handed it to Tohru.

Dear Ya-chan,

Honda-san found out about the Jyuunishi. I bet you're thinking, 'How can I be so calm when someone found out?', but relax.

Akito didn't erase Honda-san's memories. He let her live with us, but in return she has to work.

Anyway, she found out because the baka neko tripped and landed on her. Stupid cat, can't even dodge a falling girl.

But somehow, I'm glad that Honda-san found out about the curse. That way, I don't have to hide anything later.

In reply to your letter, NO I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON HONDA-SAN!

But she is pretty…

Yuki

Tohru felt her cheeks blazing red. Yasu giggled, then handed Tohru a thick paper envelope.

"The Jyuunishi sent me some pictures." she said.

The younger girl took the envelope and pulled out a thick sheaf of photos out. The first one was of Kyo running away from Kagura. If there was sound, Kyo would have been screeching like there was no tomorrow.

Tohru collapsed in giggles. The expression on the cat's face as the boar raced after him was just too much. "Oh m-my g-g-gosh, th-this i-i-is s-so f-f-funny!" she laughed.

Yasu smiled and joined in on the laughter.

"Is it just me, or is feminine laughter invading our house?"

Kyo looked irritatedly up at the dog that was attempting-attempting being the key word-to clean up the mess left behind by the Jyuunishi. "Duh." he said angrily. "Yasu and Tohru are up there, yakking away."

"Don't be so nasty baka neko." snapped Yuki. "This is the first time Honda-san has had someone female to talk with. How'd you like it if you were the only boy in a houseful of girls?" he said harshly.

Kyo shrugged. Shigure grinned boyishly. "I'd like that." he stated simply.

Two shoes flew directly at him. Soon after they made impact, Yasu and Tohru appeared in the kitchen door.

"Perverted remark?" Yasu asked. Kyo and Yuki nodded.

Dear Ya-chan,

This is probably my 100th letter to you since I left Okinawa. Yes, I miss you that much, but I also need your advice.

After reading your letter, I realized something. I am in love, very much in love, with Tohru Honda. Yes, I admit it. Every moment not spent with her is an eternity; every word she speaks is like the music of harps.

I know, that sounded so corny, but that's really how I feel. My heart feels like a drum when I see her. Is that love? I think it is.

Anyway, back to what I was asking you. Should I tell her?

Please reply A.S.A.P.

Yuki

Tohru smiled happily as she reread her favorite letter. After reading it, she had begged Yasu to let her keep the letter. She didn't have to beg. Yasu all but stuffed the letter in her mouth.

"He likes me." she whispered to herself. "No, loves me."

She snuggled the letter close to her heart, the carefully rolled it up, sealed it with a red ribbon, and hid it in her desk.

"He loves me." she sighed happily.

In a dark room in the Sohma estate, a young woman sat on the floor on a pillow, playing with a little bird that was perched on her finger. The wind that blew through the open window ruffled her short dark hair. Sunlight streamed in, but did little to dispel the shade.

The door creaked open slowly, sending a small stream of light into the room. A short and thin figure of a woman stepped inside, squinting in the dark.

"Akito-san," the figure said, fear coating her voice. "Hatori-san is here for your check up."

The woman looked up from the little bird, and followed its path as it flew off from her finger and made its way to the open window. Her gaze slowly turned to the helper in the doorway.

"Send him in." she murmured. Her voice was like a cold breath of wind from the Arctic Sea, icy and unemotional. The maid disappeared and came back with Hatori. She bowed low then left.

"Hatori, so very pleased to see you." the woman cooed.

"This isn't a social visit Akito." he said curtly. "I am merely here to check up on you." He took out a stethoscope and put it in his ears. He then held the other end to Akito's chest.

"But I want it to be." Akito said just as tersely. "And you should know by now Hatori, what I want, I get."

"Yes," said Hatori, moving the stethoscope to her left chest. "To you maybe. But to others they give up even what they need to see their loved ones happy." He removed the stethoscope. "I'm assuming you don't have any loved ones."

Akito glared at Hatori for a moment before grabbing his hand and pressing it to her breasts. "You can be the first." she said seductively.

Hatori pulled his hand away. "I can't."

"Because of Yasu?"

Hatori glanced up at the woman from his bag. "Excuse me?"

"Yasu." Akito laughed maniacally. "It was always Yasu. She loves you. You love her. It is that simple."

Hatori looked at her and completed his sentence. "I can't…and I won't. There is a difference."

"Get out."

Hatori left without any complains.

Man, what a BEE-YATCH!

I missed some episodes of Fruits Basket; so I have no idea where they live. I'm just assuming they live in Okinawa, okay?

Jaa,

Little Wolf Girl
