A.N.: To start off this chapter you have to remember that Hanajima and Arisa are still spending the night. This chapter starts off with Tohru, and them. Besides that just play along I guess. You do get to know more about Kurochi in this one though. Oh and, P.S.: It's a friday night for them. Sachi started her first day on a friday, it's weird I know but, hey.

Meetings

"You guys are pritty close huh?" Sachi asked. All the girls where in Tohru's bedroom. It was pritty late from what the guys said when they decided to hit the hay. They where all in there P.J.s, Arisa, Tohru and Hana made themselve comfterble on the bed and Sachi sat on the foot end of the bed with her legs crossed. Tohru nodded brightly, "I think we are." "Oh course we are!" Arisa exclaimed putting her arm around Tohru. Hana nodded aswell, "We all care about you Tohru." Sachi started to tear comicly, "It so touching! Such devotion! I think I'm going to cry!" There was a loud bagging on the door, "Keep it down in there! Some of us are trying to sleep!" Kyo yelled from the hall way. "You an't sleeping! Your bagging on our freaken door!" Sachi argued. "Hey girls, want to have some fun?" Arisa seemed interseted, Tohru seemed clueless and Hana seemed as she always did. "Why don't we all give the boys something to yell about..."

"AAAHHH!" Kyo can barrling down the hall. This was a normal mornning for the Sohma's and it was mornning now afterall. The girls put their heads out the door just in time to see him to a dance for their amusment. He was coverved in lizards, maple surip, snails and a cockrouch or two. His hair was styled with toothpast and somehow he had make-up pastered on his face. Yuki came out of his room walking like he had a bord stuck up his spine, he was in a silmaler situation. Arisa and Sachi laughing to death as Hana took yet more pictures of the boys. Tohru, who was asleep when the others did this, was shoocked but had to keep herself from laughing. The girls came out of the room and headed to breakfest, "Better hurry boys, you might miss breakfest." Arisa said as they all made their way down he stairs.

Downstairs Shigure sat reading his paper, his face hidden behind it. The girls sat down and started to eat. "Nice joke girls." Shigure said as he let down his paper exposing him too covered in simaler things. FLASH Hana took a picture. "I thought it was." (fLip Sence) Hana and Arisa stood at the door, "Glad you could stay." Sachi smiled while waving to the two. "Good-bye Hana-chan and Uo-chan!" Tohru yelled as she waved in her normal hyper way. They both turned around to face Yuki and Kyo who where not covered in the "stuff" anymore.

Kyo had on his belted pants and a dark shirt. Yuki had a chinese style deep blue shirt on with his normal sheek dress pants. (I'm sure you all know what the hell I'm talking about. If you don't them make-up what their wearing if you want to. I really don't care.) Kyo had his eyes closed trying not to blow up, Yuki put on a smile, "You girls sure did have fun last night didn't you?" Kyo couldn't take it, "HOW CAN YOU JUST STAND THERE AND LAUGH AT YOURSELF!" "You should try it some time. " "What, being a pansy?" "Your already the pro at that." "What was that you girly man!" Tohru was melting under the fighting and Sachi was trying her best not to bark at them both for not shutting their mouths. More bickering went on when Shigure stepped into the room. "You have a visator..." Everyone stoppped, "HUH?"

Everyone sat on the porch, "So what brings you back to my humble home?" Shigure asked the newly arrived Kurochi. "Like I said I would come agine soon. Last night just seemed too ...crowded for my teast. I'm sorry if I seemed so uptight. When I'm on "busness" I have to be soooo straight, if you know what I mean." This Kurochi seemed tottly diffrent from the man everyone had met last night. " So the real you shows it ugly head." Sachi commented with a turn of her head in the oppisite direction.

Kurochi put on a overly dramaticly shocked face, "Oh How could you Sachi! How will I live with your thoughts of me so tarnished!" "I think you'l live." Tohru seemed about to explode. She wanted to know what member of the zodiac he was. After all the excitement of the first zodiac she could hardly think about another cursed famliy. "Um..excuse me... hate to be rud-" "Your not being rude Tohru-kun!" Kurochi exclaimed. "I'm sure your just excited to see what zodiac member I, the great Kuroshi, are. Right!" Tohru nodded excitedly. "Will you ever shut up! Just tell the poor women already!" Sachi ordered. Kurochi put on another sad face, "How mean of you Sachi. I'm hurt." '

Kyo leaned into Yuki so his words would be herd only by him, "Dose he remind you of someone or what?" They both turned their eyes to Shigure who, cluelessly, was watching the events and didn't notice the stares. Tohru smiled, "I nevered interduced myself. I'-" "Tohru Honda, Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure Sohma. I know all your names. Nothing more though. I nevered paided much attention to stuff like that. Sachi, on the other hand, she knows much more then me. She may not know your animals, but that's only because you don't live in the main house anymore." Sachi closed her eyes and stood behind Kurochi, "Just tell her damnit!" Kurochi frowned, "You shouldn't be s-" I'm sure you saw something like this coming , the idiot tripped over his own two feet and went flying right into Tohru.

A load POP was herd. There sat Tohru starring ,with a smile plastered on her face, at Kurochi, "What a cute little doggy!" She yelled throwing her arms around the black dog, who seemed quit content in her chest.Kyo: "I knew he had to be the dog." Shigure: "What ever do you mean Kyo-kun?" Yuki stepped in, "He acted too much like you not to be." Sachi marched up to Tohru and Kurochi and grabbed Kurochi by the scuff.( Like how animals have extar skin behind their necks.Scuff.) She held him up to eye level, "Don't you even think about doing anything like that." He closed his eyes, "What could you possibly ever mean?"

Back inside the house Kurochi was putting on the last of his lossly hangin suit. Poor Tohru had yet agine been scared when he transformed. No one else had seen what she had too when Kurochi transformed back when they made their way inside. That poor girl. Or lucky as I'm sure some of you are thinking with all that she's seen. "Oh my these are great!" Kurochi was comlimenting on Shigure's books. They both where sitting in the corrner while the others sat in a something that resembled a circle, "I'v read all of these! Your the writter! I finnaly get to meet you!" " Finnaly someone who can appericate a good writter's work." "That's only cause he is a pervert..." Sachi said closing her eyes yet agine at the idiot she had to deal with.

"By all means, you all may treat any of the Omana's as you would the Sohma's. Atleast most of them. "She got a dangourse look in her eyes, "There are a few that ...if you lay a hand on...I won't hesitate to kill you." Yuki, who seemed the least phased, and Kyo took a step back. Shigure smiled as he scooted slightly away from Sachi's direction. Kurochi leanded over to Shigure, "She can be pritty scary when she's mad." "I see."

Sachi sat down next to Tohru, "He is only the begining. Just wait until you meet-..." She turned her eyes to Kurochi, "Who else plans to come?" Kurochi shrugged his shoulders and laided back on his hands, "How should I know? I have no control over the others, only they do." "Shut up you Moron! You can't go blabbing around like that!" "I'm sure they already know that the family has someone simallar to...what was their na-" "Akito." Yuki cut him off. He didn't want to dwell on the subject long. Although something did stick in his mind, "Tell me," he directed his attention tword Kurchi, " You said that Sachi would't know our animals cause we don't live in the main house anymore...What did you mean by that?" "Sachi knows alot about the ones in the main house, with how many times she has been ther-" Sachi brought her fot right into his face and set his head right into the floor. Tohru and Shigure jumped, "Eh?" Kyo and Yuki seemed to not be phased in the least.

Her eyes where closed in anger and she made a fist that she was shaking to the air, "I'm here you know, ask that to me! And you," She rubbed her foot even futher in his face,"can't just go around answering for me eaither!" She removed her foot and sat back down, "YOu have no right to meddel in my affairs. To answer bluntyly, the others, besides the head of the family and a few others, don't know much about you all. How I know so much is none of your direct concern." Tohru was fittling with her fingers at the time, she had thought of nothing, but what animal Sachi could be. Her personality sometimes veryied so it was hard to tell.

Kurochi sat up with his watch ringing, "It looked like I must go. I have to get back to the main house before they come and look for me. I have something I must take care of there before I can go home." Home?" Tohru pipped. "You live in a sepret house like Shigure dose?" Sachi nodded, "Yeah, he got too annoying so they threw him out." She said more playful then seriouse. Kurochi said his goodbyes and left the house.

"Would you like to go somewhere today Tohru?" Sachi asked in a polite tone. They had just finnished lunch and the two of the where outside hanging cloths on the line. Sachi hated laundry and wanted to force the boys to do it but Tohru had insisted she would do it all ,so Sachi dicided to help. "I couldn't. I have to st-" "I think they can survive without you for the afternoon...They can come if they like..." Tohru nodded as she hung the last of the laundry and whipped her forhead off. "Where would you like to go Sachi -ku-" "Just call me Sachi. Do you like the park Tohru?" "I'll pack some snacks!" Kyo walked outside with a power bar or somthing like that.

"KYON- KYOOOON!" Sachi waved wildly, "You going to the park with uuuuuuuus!" He blinked and shook his head, "WHO SAYS!" Sachi put on a overly sweet face and appered infront of him, "But if would make Tohru-kun soooooo happy! You have to come! PLeeease! For Tohru-kun!" He turned his head, "No." "OH YES YOU WILL!" Sachi snapped putting him in a head lock. "You don't want to make her sad know do you!" "Let go of me!" Tohru smiled sweatly from the side-lines, Her personality switches so fast. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with her animal though...Maybe. "Fine! I'm coming. Just let go of my head!" She let go with a smile, "Good boy."

Yuki came out of the house with a mello experion on his face and he too had Sachi appere at his feet, "You'll come to riiiight Yuki-kun!""Where would we be going?" Sachi put on a hyper face and stood with her feet apart and pointed tword the sky, "The park ofcourse!" "Okay. I could use some...freash air." She nudged him in the ribs, "You mean "time away from the perv."

Tohru had set up a pick-nik type thing. She layed out a blankit and brought sandwiches for everyone. Tohru and Kyo where throwing a friz-be. Tohru, ofcourse, kept missing and having to run for it but, she didn't really mind. Yuki was sitting up straight while Sachi on the other hand was laying back on her hands and relaxing. She decided to break the silence between them. There was tention too but she ignored it, "So...I take it you and the Idiot have extra tention between you too. Besides you being the rat and all." She had said it so casuly he almost didn't catch what she said, "You know my animal?" "You fight like cat and mouse." "What do you mean extra tention though?" She smiled and closed her eyes, "Tohru." Yuki looked quickly in the other direction, "...um..."

"Forget it. You want a sandwhich or som-" Something came barrling through the "pik-nik". It was a blur, but it was headed straight for Kyo. "Kyo-kuuuun!" A high pitched voice squealed as a women lached onto Kyo. Kyo looked wide eyed at the women, "Not you! How'd you find me!" "Gure-san told me!" "I'll kill him!" Tohru walked up to them ,keeping a few feet between them though, "How have you been Kagure?"(I'm sure you know what she looks like. If you don't you eaither shouldn't be reading this(for your lack of knowlage) or find a image on the internet) "Fine, thank you!" The women replaided without letting her grip falter. Kyo finnaly pushed her off and ran tword the "pik-nik" area, "Stay away from me!" Kagure came barrling tword him in her."angry" form.

Kyo hid behind Sachi and hopped he wouldn't be found. Sachi stood up at the last moment before Kagure reached them and held out her hand. Kagure came to a barrling stop and almost tripped. blink blink "You must be that girl." "Sachi," she put on a hyper face and gave a high pitched squeal."I finnaly get to meet the boar! WHEEEEEEE!...cough Hello Kagure-chan." Kagure shook her hand not really sure what-else to do. Akito told them when he had gotten all the others to gather and told of the other family that one was living with Tohru and the others. Akito also said that she was kinda weird.

"How'd you know I was the boar?" "...um..."Sachi bent over and held out a small basket, "Rice ball?" "Thank you!" She took one and noticed Kyo trying to sneak away. He was soon held some type of wresling move. It was hard to tell what she was doing. Yuki starred slightly at Sachi who was watching the events with the unnoticed stare, How dose she know so much of us...It's odd. He didn't have much time to dwell on that for a howl was herd through the air. Kyo was lucky he even got off the ground after that one.

He made his way back over to the three of them with Kagure leached to his leg, "sigh Do you ahve to do this!" Kagure looked up at him with sad eyes, "How can you be so mean Kyo-kun? And when we are going to be married some day!" "I never agreed to that!" Others where staring throughout the park. How odd this must have seemed to them. Kyo growled at Kagure, "We are getting starred at! Stop it!" Sachi smiled widly, "You shouldn;t be embarresed Kyon-Kyon! It's love after all!" "Love! Since when!" Kagure looked up at him, "You mean you don't love me Kyo-kun!" "NO!"

Silence was herd throughout the park, as if time itself had stopped. criket criket It seemed to kinda hurt Kagure's feelings, her experssion gave that away easly. Tohru was confused on what she should have been feeling at the moment and Yuki was unreadable as always. He did seem to notic Kagure's experssion and wondered if she was alright.

Sachi on the other hand was ticked. She glarred daggers and Kyo's head with her arms straight at her sides with her hands balled into fist. She clenched her teeth and let her angry seep in as she nelt down and put her hands on her shoulders. Kagure was know sitting on the ground no longer clenching onto Kyo's leg. As Sachi gave Kagure a understanding look, without getting to sappy about it, she snuck in a glare at Kyo who snorted and turned his head in the other direction. "Com'on Kagure-chan, why don't we go to the store or..." she knew what would cheer her up, "...SHOPPING!" Personly she just liked walking around the stores but she knew if would cheer Kagure right up," Com'on!"

A.N.: Well like I said you did get to know more about Kurochi in this chapter. Sachi got to meet Kagura for the first time and I guess their all going to the store. Although going to the mall with Three Sohmas, an Omana and Tohru Honda isen't the normal experience.
