Disclaimer: "I do not own Fruits Basket (and if I did Hatori and I would be able to hug like there was no tomorrow and Kyo would have his own fan club)."

A/N: "This is my first Furuba fanfic written by myself. The other one I co-wrote with my best friend Ookami-chan (aka Start Tiger1 read some of her stories) and it's called "Cherry Blossom Spring" (its not completed yet). Some of the facts used in this story are based off of my own life experiences. I have at least one OC. Now on with the show!

Chapter 1

Welcome Back

"You are so worthless to me and the others. How could you let yourself become so weak and vunerable like this? You are even worse then Yuki with his weak bronchial tubes! You are so pathetic I can't imagine why anybody would want you!"

Those hurtful words kept playing in her mind as she boarded the last train. She would be going back. Back to the place she has missed for so long, yet feared at the same time. Her reasons for returning seemed to still escape her mind as she rushed through the crowds of people to catch the next train. She truly would be going home. "Home. Is that what they call it?" She thought once more, her thoughts starting to drift off into oblivion.

"Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, time for breakfast." Tohru yelled as she untied her apron and head into the dining room.

"Ah, this looks wonderful Tohru-kun." Shigure said as her kneeled down to the table and began filling his plate.

Yuki walked in with his usual morning look and kneeled down to a place next to Shigure.

"Where is Kyo-kun this morning?" Tohru asked taking her place at the table.

"He's probably sulking on the roof as always." Yuki said stuffing a piece of omelet in his mouth.

"Hm…., I wonder." Shigure said scratching his chine slightly.

Rrrrrrr……the phone began to ring.

"I'll get it and Tohru why don't you try and coax Kyo into some breakfast." Shigure said exiting the room to answer the phone.

"Will you excuse me please, Yuki." Tohru said, with a smile on her face.

"Of course go ahead, Honda-san"

Just as Shigure thought, Tohru found Kyo on the roof, "Kyo-kun breakfast is ready, if you want it." Kyo at first seemed to not notice her, s he continued to stare up at the morning sky.

"Oh, sorry I was thinking." Kyo said looking over at Tohru.

They both exited down the ladder and started to walk into the dining room, all of a sudden overhearing Shigure's phone conversation in the background. The best they could make about was this. "Oh, so you're returning huh, well okay yes I'll be waiting for your arrival, goodbye."

"What was that about?" Yuki said turning to Shigure as he walked back into the room.

"Well you see….wait, Tohru you hasn't heard this story yet." Shigure said not noticing Kyo's confused look, "Well you see Kyo is not an only child."

"Really, that's so interesting." Tohru said seeming to lean in to hear more of the story.

"Do we have to discuss this?" Kyo screamed as he stormed into the kitchen.

"Kyo is just a little sensitive about the subject." Shigure continued as he spoke some more, "You see Kyo has a twin."

"Really that's incredible is he a member of the zodiac too?" Tohru said.

"No, but there is something you should know." Shigure said picking up his dishes, "he is….." His words were cut off by the sound of Yuki and Kyo's usual fights.

About Ten Minutes Later…..

As the three teens got ready for school, Tohru couldn't help, but wonder about what is was Shigure was trying to tell her about Kyo's twin, before he was cut off. "Well anyway, I can't wait to meet him" She thought grabbing her bag and heading downstairs.

As the three began to wall out the door on their way to school, their path was suddenly interrupted by a strange figure on a motorcycle. Tohru was utterly clueless, though by the looks on Yuki and Kyo's faces they seemed to know what was going on. Tohru didn't think that Shigure was expecting any visitors this early in the morning. "Wait a second," She thought, "could this be Kyo's twin."

Tohru quickly ran up to the helmeted figure on the motorcycle and greeted him, "Hello sir, my name is Tohru Honda and I'm please to meet you and…" Her words were cut off by and crude reaction.

"Who are you calling a guy, sister!" The stranger said. Tohru jumped back in shock s well as confusion. Yuki just seemed amused and Kyo just stood there and shook his head. Just then the stranger pulled away the helmet from her head, causing a long braid of fiery red hair to topple down her backside.

"Kaiya?" Kyo screamed as he looked at the seemingly attractive red head.

"It's been a long time hasn't it, Kyo." She said looking at him, "Yuki how have you been? You're in good health I gather." A smile seemed to come across her face.

Yuki started to speak, "Yes I've been good, you look good as well. Well we really need to get to school, so there isn't much time for introductions. Honda-san, this is Kaiya Sohma, Kaiya this is Ms. Tohru Honda."

"Sorry about the guy comment, I just get like that sometimes" Kaiya explained.

"No, really, it's okay. I'm just pleased to meet you." Tohru bowed and she, Yuki, and Kyo continued on their way to school. Kyo still speechless, just passed by her without a word. He felt like such and idiot. Though, they hadn't spoken since they were ten years old.

Watching the three disappear out of site, Kaiya got back on her bike and continued to Shigure's house. As she approached his house, memories of all the good time she had spent her flooded through her mind and she rang the doorbell.

"Yes, how may I help you?" Shigure sang as he opened the door.

"Hey, you old dog, how've ya' been?" Kaiya said to Shigure.

"Kaiya, how are you?" He said welcoming her into the house. He always wished that she was a member of the zodiac so they could hug. He hadn't seen this girl since she was ten and now was a perfect opportunity for a hug session. The two of them retired to Shigure's office, to rekindle the years lost.

"So anything new with you?"

"Nothing much." She said looking over at what seemed to look like a piece of Shigure's partially finished manuscript, "I've completed my education so now I'm caught up with Kyo and Yuki. I also wish to finish my martial arts training with Master Kazuma. My grandparents decided that it would do me some good to come back here. I have yet to realize if they were right or not."

"And your health, how has that been?" He said with some concern in his voice (which was rare for Shigure).

"Who are you, Hatori-san?" Kaiya said sarcastically. She did not like to discuss her health condition with anyone, unless she was in need if medical attention. It was sometimes even hard for Hatori to get her to talk about it.

"Just asking, you know we worry about you, Kaiya" Shigure said looking up from a newspaper he had been reading.

"Yeah, I know…." She responded.

"One last question" Shigure asked her.

"Yeah"

"Does Akito know you have returned?"

"No, and I don't intend on him knowing!" Kaiya said with a ticked off look on her face, "Can I spend some time here, at your house." As she began to walk out of Shigure's office she was stopped once again by his speech.

"Do you think Kyo will mind?"

"I don't know, but I can't hide form him forever. We need to just let him do what he wants. He has softened, and I ca tell by the look in his eyes. Maybe it's the twin thing in me that knows, but I think this Tohru Honda has had an affect on him."

As Kaiya exited Shigure's office, he leaned over to the phone and began to dial the main house, "Hello, Hatori, Kaiya has returned."
