((6:30 a.m. the girl's roomSeptember 1st))

A/N: Thanks for the review Jaime. It seems like I am not really writing this for anyone else… I envy those with 60+ reviews per chapter… And I just wanted to say, I made up the character Bobo before BoBo-Bo Bo-BoBoBo (or however you say it) came out. I don't really care if you don't believe me, I made up the name with the character 'Mr. Popo' from DragonBall Z in mind. By the way, when I write a verb in italics, it means this is done telepathically (i.e. Dusty said to Dion)

Bobo lurched forward as he spontaneously appeared between the two slumbering girls.

Still can't get used to that landing…

He cleared his throat.

"Wake up you two!"

Dusty groaned as she awoke; Dion snuggled deeper into her pillow, muttering something vaguely about coffee.

"Girls, wake up!" Bobo impatiently snapped his fingers and the two were brought upright by his telekinetic force. Their eyes were wide in astonishment.

Bobo smirked.

"Now that I have your attention, I sincerely apologize for the loss of memory yesterday. I forgot to tell you about that side affect. Completely slipped my mind! Your past memories should return to you as soon as I unfreeze you…"

Bobo snapped his fingers again and memories flooded into their minds as if a dam had broken and torrents of water were sent cascading through their minds, powerful and overwhelming. The two almost screamed aloud in excitement of the remembrance of what had just occurred yester night, had not Bobo frozen them again.

"Here are the rules; do nothing to show that you know that these people are fiction. The balance of dimensions will be thrown off, not to mention I will get the heat from the guy upstairs," I pointed to the sky. He unfroze them and Dion and Dusty sighed deeply.

Thinking twice, he snapped his fingers for a third time, freezing them again.

"You know, I think I'll just erase the memory of Fruits Basket from your brains except the fact that it is a manga." He snapped his fingers, erasing the memory of FuruBa from their minds forever.

"Now, school starts in a half an hour! You two already don't have much time!' Bobo winked and disappeared, unfreezing the girls in the process.

Just then Shigure popped in.

"Good morning!" he sung cheerfully, holding out two brand new school uniforms. "I had Ayame make these for you!" He whispered the rest behind his hand: "He's my best friend; we went to high school together."

Dusty's face paled.

"How did you get our measurements?"

Dion sweat dropped and Shigure blushed. He nervously rubbed the back of his head.

"Well, I was up around three this morning and I happened to see your clothing so neatly folded so I took them off…"

Just then, Kyou walked by just as Shigure was about to say floor ("I saw you clothing…so I took them off…" was all Kyou heard but Shigure was just about to say "off the floor") Kyou hit Shigure's head for the third (or was it fourth) time that day.

"You disgusting pervert!"

"Kyou, calm down, I was merely saying…"

"YOU TOOK OFF THEIR CLOTHES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHILE THEY WERE ASLEEP! HOW CAN I CALM DOWN?"

Dusty was growing tired of this all and lashed out.

"YOU IDIOT! SHUT UP! HE WAS JUST SAYING HE TOOK THEM OFF OF THE FLOOR!"

Kyou blushed.

"…oh…I'm sorry…Dusty…I…" he glared at Shigure. "YOU SNOOPED THROUGH THEIR CLOTHES! YOU PERVERT!"

Dion rolled her eyes, took the school uniforms from Shigure, and shoved him and Kyou out of the door, still arguing with each other. She tossed Dusty one of the uniforms.

After the two had changed, they had time only to grab a cup of coffee and head out.

As the four of them began to walk into the woods, it began to rain.

Yuki smirked.

"Stupid cat."

"What did I do now?"

"You forgot an umbrella!"

"…shit…"

"Oh no!" Dion whined. The rain began to soak her white tee-shirt. Yuki showed immediate concern. He removed his navy blue, high collar shirt and offered it to her.

"Here, this will keep you dry.' He smiled. Dion practically fainted at the sight of his naked chest and gratefully put on his shirt.

'Christ Dion, can you smile any wider?'

'He's half naked!'

Dusty's eyes glinted black in mild annoyance. Kyou glanced at her, the thundering rain causing her shirt to become more see thru by the minute. He stuttered nervously.

"Do…Do you…"

Dusty pulled her leather jacket out of her bag and wrapped it around her body. Kyou seemed somewhat disappointed (that he couldn't help! Get your minds out of the gutter!)

"Nice jacket…" he instead mumbled.

"Thanks!" Dusty's eyes glittered blue. Kyou blushed furiously, apparently Dusty failed to notice. The four finally came to a clearing, the school just ahead.

"I'll race you!" Dion grinned.

"You're on!" Dusty's eyes flashed orange.

"Ready? One, two, three!" Dion took off with amazing foot speed (far faster than that of a human). Dusty laughed, simply rolling her eyes.

'I'll catch up…'

'Like hell you will!' Dion said sarcastically. Dusty closed her eyes and disappeared. Kyou and Yuki gaped in the places where the two girls used to be.

By the time Dusty teleported to the building, Dion showed up.

"Tie!" Dusty exclaimed.

"No fair! Teleportation is against the rules!"

"What rules!"

"My rules!"

"Well, you never specified!"

"I thought you would've known!"

Kyou and Yuki showed up out of breath as the girls argued.

"How…the…hell…did…you…do…that?" Kyou gasped between breaths.

Dusty's eyes flashed brown.

"Do what?"

Kyou sweat dropped.

"Never m—" the bell screamed in their ear. A particularly short girl with glasses came careening toward the group.

Dusty sighed.

"Kyou, watch out for that—" the girl ran into Kyou and kept going, oblivious to the puff of smoke. Dusty's eyes widened. "Awwww! Look at the kitty!" she squealed, picking up the orange cat.

"Dusty," Dion began confused "Kyou just turned into that cat."

"Oh…whoa." Dusty held the cat out in front of her.

Yuki sweat dropped.

"Stupid cat, how couldn't you see her coming?"

The 'little kitty' looked as if he would burst. Dusty held him close.

"Aww! Don't be mad! It wasn't your fault, kitty! That mean old girl was just inconsiderate!" Yuki, Kyou and Dion sweat dropped as Dusty whirled around Kyou's clothing, in circles, singing.

"Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty…"

Much to Kyou's dismay, he transformed back, still being held by Dusty. She stopped short when she felt the heat of his skin on her body.

"Uhhh…" She looked up at him, face furiously blushing and eyes red in embarrassment. She whirled around, pushing him away in the process. "MY VIRGIN EYES! MY VIRGIN EYES!" she shrieked as he quickly put on his clothing. She was still shrieking as he finished.

He firmly clamped his hand over her mouth.

"Shut up…" he said through clenched teeth. Dion's eyes turned black with anger and she forced her fangs into his skin, piercing the flesh, causing it to bleed uncontrollably. He released her hand with a yelp.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?"

"DON'T EVER TOUCH ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!"

"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BITE ME!"

While the two were bickering, Yuki quietly was speaking to Dion.

"You see, the Sohmas are cursed by the vengeful spirits of the Zodiac animals. We transform into our respective creatures when hugged by the opposite sex outside of our family. I am the rat, Kyou the cat, and Shigure is the dog." Dion nodded in understanding, following the arguing two inside.

"EXCUSE ME!" an upperclassmen with glasses demanded their attention (quite oblivious to Kyou's bleeding hand). "You all have detention." He handed out blue slips and Dusty looked on in dismay as he walked away.

"NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" she screamed at Kyou.

"WHAT I DID? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO BIT MY HAND!" He yelled, clutching his wounded limb.

"SUCK IT UP, YOU MORON! GO TO THE NURSE!"

"Fine!" With that he walked away. Dusty's eyes were black with fury. She clenched Dion's hand.

"Come on, let's go find a dryer."

"Bye, Yuki!" Dion waved as she was dragged behind Dusty.

A/N: Ha-ha! That was funny! Please review!
