Chapter Two: The Meeting With Akito

A/N: Well, here's Chapter 2...Thank you Evil Bunny of death for your review! It sorta motivated me to write this chapter. Yes, and once again I don't own Fruits Basket, Only Sheena and her family(so far)

RECAP:

She walked to school with Tohru and the others, only hearing two fights on the way. The day seemed to last forever as she waited until the last bell to ring. Once it rung she got her things and walked outside and sat on a bench. A few minutes later a boy around 18 walked up to her.

" I am looking for Sheena Hiroshi, you don't happen to be her do you?"

" Yes, I am."

" I am Akito Sohma, pleasure to meet you." He said it with a smile but something in his tone made her think otherwise.

Sheena followed the boy to his car and stepped in. The car was all black on the outside with leather seats. The boy wore all black as well. Man, this guy loves his black doesn't he?

" So, Miss Hiroshi." He said after he pulled away from the curb.

" Yes, sir?"She decided it best to be very polite.

" As I understand it, your family is cursed as well?"

" Yes, we transform into the wolves of the ancient zodiac story."

" I'm not familiar with it." He said to her keeping his eyes on the road and pulling a sharp turn.

" Really? I've known it since i was little."

" Tell it to me." He demanded.

" Well, back when god asked all of the zodiac creatures to the banquet, two animals were left out. the cat and the wolf. The cat, as you know, was tricked by the kiniving rat and thought that the banquet was the day after when it was supposed to be. The wolf knew when the party was but he decided not to go, he was a loner, that wolf, and no one could convince him to go. He would feel uncomfortable there, he said, and nver went. So he, even though he isn't a zodiac animal watches over us and is highly respected." She explained as they got to the house.

" Is that so? I don't think he should have stayed away, even if he was a loner. He was given a hugh honor and blew it off, sounds disrespectful."

" I thought so too, at first but then i really understood how he felt."

" Because you are the wolf?" Akito asked her, leading her inside his house. They sat down on the floor looking at eachother, Sheena nervously, Akito scanning her personality and actions.

" Yeah, I guess so. But also I think he was kind of misunderstood by the others." She had said before they sat down. Sheena looked around. Why is he asking me all this? why does he want me here?

" So, why did you want to see me, Sir?" She said rememebring her promise to herself to be polite.

" To see if you'll be any good for the Sohmas."

" Of course! I understand what you all are going through, I am cursed as well." She stated.

" Well, that much is true, I suppose. But, are you emotionally/mentally able to be with them?"

" What do you mean?" She asked not lking his question at all.

" Have I offended you? I'm dreadfully sorry. I just mean i need to make sure you aren't some psycho out to hurt my family, or some unstable little girl who can't help anyone let alone herself." Something in his tone made her think that he thought she was both.

" Well, I suppose I should respond to that the best I can. Well, first off, I would never purposly try and hurt anyone let alone a family much like mine. And secondly, I've been living alone wile working and taking AP and honors classes at school. I didn't even cry when I found out my parents were dead, I kept myself strong through all of it. So how can you honestly think i'd be either if those things you accused me of?" She said as polite as possible, but her anger was started to control her.

" Well, I suppose those two thigns were wrong, but your anger is somewhat to be desired." He stated his voice cold.

" That's only because you are accusing me of untrue things." She said regaining her polite tone.

" Well, that's better, and i'll try my best not to think untrue things about you, but it's hard not to. As I understand you haven't talked for a month, or so, and just started yesterday."

" That has nothing to do with you."

" If you are staying with my family, it has every bit to do with me." He said starting to get angry," You may stay with those four if you wish, but now, i want you out of my sight." He said he voice growing angrier towards the end.

" Thank you, Sir." She said bowing. She turned and walked outside. A man stood nearby and walked up to her.

" you are the girl living with Shigure right? Sheena?"

" Yes, but who are you?"

" I am Hatori Sohma, the Sohma family doctor." The man stated," would you like a ride home? I was just about to go see Shigure anyway." She followed Hatori to the car and he drove her home.

" Wow, you can stay? I'm so glad!" Said Tohru happily.

' Yes, miss Hiroshi, it will be wonderful to have someone else around here to talk to." Said Yuki with a smile.

" Yea, what they said." Replied Kyo. She smiled slightly at her friends and walked upstairs slowly making sure to wave goodnight to her friends before entering her room and falling asleep.

A/N Okay yeah, kinda short...the next one should be longer, lots of stuff happening in that one!
