Title: When We Were Younger

Chapter: The Photo Albums

Disclaimter- I do not own these characters, they are copyrighted to
I have only read up to number 10 of Fruits Basket
The story is mine, and may not go exactly with the manga, do not flame me because of this
This is only a Lead story

Tohru- Only Lead is working on this?
Kyo- ..Yes, and we are not in it, well for very long
Shigure- NO! What about the high school girls?
Ayame- You'd rather have high school girls Shigure?
Hatori- Can we just get on with the story?


Chattering could be heard, filling the air, all this chattering was coming from the living room. "What are you guys doing in here?" Ayame asked as he slipped from the kitchen into the living room. In his hands was a tray with several cups and tea. The group was all huddled together, Kyo, Tohru, Haru, Momiji, Shigure, even Hatori was a bit huddled in the group. So of course the small huddle had raised his curiosity.

"They're being weird again," Yuki commented as he walked past, not really in the mood to speak with his brother. The silver haired beauty put his shoes on to leave. Tohru's eyes opened wide. "Are you going out, I'll go too. I need to get some shopping done," quickly Tohru dashed from the group. Kyo also ran from the group, "Don't leave me here with them," it was either go and have to be with Yuki, or the trio. He chose Yuki over the trio, they were too weird for his taste.

"What's going on?" he asked, although it seemed that everyone was going to get ready to leave. That is, until he sat down the tray with tea and took a seat next to his messy haired Shigure. Shigure seemed to be very focused, and Ayame figured out why. Old photo albums, from their high school days. Hatori actually stayed too. So it was the Mabudachi Trio, spending their time together, looking at photo albums.

"You guys used to be cute," Hatori said quietly, Shigure poked him in the shoulder. "What do you mean used to? I'll have you know dear Hatori, I am so cute, I could probably make people do my bidding," he said with a slight chuckle. Ayame nodded, "Yes, I do it all the time, maybe it's your puppy eyes," he played off the joke that Shigure was in fact the dog of the zodiac. "Its so he'll shut up."

"That's not very nice of you..." Ayame spouted, a slight red to his cheeks. Though he couldn't stay mad at Hatori for too long. His cheeks were soon back to their pale color as he looked to the photo albums. "We had so much fun, didn't we?" The other two nodded quietly.

Ahh...reminiscing...
