Summary: Fruits basket crossover, old life to new life crossover... intraspective, coming of age (BS)

Kagome didn't know why she was drawn to them: dangerously beautiful boys who hung about each other apparently afraid of themselves and the opposite sex. She supposed it was partly loss of belonging to a group, now that she no longer was a girl with some mystical destiny, and was supposed to be just an average seventeen year old girl planning for her future. The Sohma boys, who gathered around one girl, as if she was the most important touchstone, the one thing they all agreed mattered, made her heart hurt for the old life. It wasn't until she had already admitted to herself that she was drawn to them, and spent a little over a year watching the group that she first felt the surge of magics about them. A curse... now that was something she could understand, something that made sense, so that her old life finally crossed over into her new life, and she felt whole.
