me: now now i know what you are most likely thinking, "Oh shes just copying having rita not have a home and blah blah" But im not. Rita was created before i made this fanfic and she had always not had a home, i just put it into a fruits basket fanfiction so it seems like im copying the idea. Im not ok. So well on with the show -dances- Why so grumpy kyo my love?

Kyo- MUST you call me that?

Tohru- Eh!

Yuki- could it get any nosier?

Tohru put the last sparkling dish away then peered out the window. She still had some time before it would get dark out, and for this Tohru was thankfull. Tohru walked gently over to the door, and opened it careful not to disturb anyone, but Kyo heard her. "Where the hell are you going?" Kyo asked looking at her out of the corner of his red eyes. Tohru jumped and turned around to face Kyo shaking a little, from being surprised.

"Eh! Kyo-Kun i was just going out to.." Tohru hesitated, she didn't wan't to lie, that would be wrong. "You see it's just.."Tohru began agian but sighed. "Theres something I need to see Kyo-kun." Tohru said honestly looking up at him, hoping he wouldn't stop her.

"Well then im coming with you, its gonna get dark soon." Kyo said calmly.

"Yes there are some real perverts out there." Shigure said entering the room, and Tohru jumped agian.

"You mean like you!" Kyo demanded, but Shigure didn't answer just bid them farewell. Once they were outside Tohru started walking through the woods, looking for something. "What are you looking for? What are we doing here anyway?" Kyo asked annoyed. Tohru continued looking but answered him.

"Yuki-Kun said it would be strange for Rita-chan to be living nearby, I was just thinking maybey shes not living in a house." Tohru admitted. Kyo looked at her suddenly interested.

"You mean like when you were living in a tent?" Kyo asked walking quicker because Tohru picked up the pace.

"Yes Kyo-Kun." Tohru said glad he understood, and smiled at him before continueing on. A few minutes later she stopped and Kyo almost bumped into her. Kyo opened his mouth to ask why they had stopped but Tohru put a finger up to her lips. "Kyo-Kun do you hear that?" Tohru asked turning to look at him. The sound of someone crying could be heard nearby. Kyo nodded and they both peered into the darkness but saw nothing.

"Look up." Kyo whispered staring up at a tree a few feet away from them. There was a tree house, and a rope ladder leading down from it. Tohru smiled triumphently though her eyes were worried, because she wanted to know what was, why the person was crying.

"Its wrong to just go up, but maybey its Rita-chan." Tohru thought outloud, working her way up the ladder, and Kyo followed. They climbed into the decent sized room and saw Rita sitting in the corner, her knees tucked in. She was looking through a photo album and salty tears streamed down her face. She looked up startled that Tohru and Kyo were there. "Whats wrong with Rita-Chan?" Tohru asked concerned walking over to Rita and wiping her tears. Kyo stayed by the door feeling a little awkward.

"Tohru-Chan! You-You found me." Rita said sniffing a little, then she realized Tohru might think thats why she was crying. "I miss my friends and family." She added crying more silently now. Tohru looked closer to the photo Rita was looking at. In it was Rita, two boys, a man, and a women.

"Oh is that your family?" Tohru asked smiling at the photo. Rita nodded and Tohru looked back at her. "What happened to them Rita-chan?" Tohru asked softly taking Rita's hand comfortingly. Rita looked a bit surprised but managed a sad smile that soon faded.

"It happened just a week ago, I was sitting at home in my village. It was raining outside, when all of a sudden we all heard the sounds of guns. My mother and father ran outside, curiously, and when they came back inside they were afraid. They told my brothers and I to run. I took my little three year old brother and ran as fast as I could towards the woods, but my older brother wanted to stay and fight for his home. I remember staying up that night crying, until eventually I fell asleep. When I woke up my little brother wasn't with me, and I didn't know where he went. Then I found a note, and I knew they took him. The one's who destroyed our village. I thought if I wen't back home everyone would be there wating but I was wrong. As I stepped cowardly onto the bare ruins of what was left of my home town I was horrified. There was blood everywhere, bodies too. I found those of my friends and parents, and my brother. No one was left but myself. I screamed and ran inside my half burnt down house, grabbed a few things, and ran as fast as I could completely unsure of where I was going. I came here because it seemed like a nice town. I decided to build this tree house and live here." Rita finished taking a deep breath and letting it out. She started crying all over agian and Tohru embraced her. Kyo looked at her in awe, he didn't think by the way she seemed so happy earlier all of this had happened to her. Tohru broke away and turned to look at Kyo, almost as if to say, Can we bring her home and see what happens? Kyo sighed but nodded, a little bit sympathetically. Tohru had to wipe a few tears from her eyes, because of the sad tale Rita had told, but then managed a smile.

"Im so sorry, that must have been horrible. You know you remind me alot of myself, when I first met the Sohma's. My mother had died a little while earlier, and I had been living with my grandfather. But then he had to do some renavations, and I couldn't possibly impose on my friends, so I thought I could live in a tent out here. Then the Sohma's found me, and my tent was lost in a landslide. I stayed at the Sohma's house until then renavations were done then went back to my grandfathers house. I wanted to continue living at the Sohma's though so thats why im back there. We can go back to the house if you like, Im sure Shigure-San will know what to do!" Tohru exclaimed determined. Rita smiled a little, then laughed with joy, and stood up with Tohru.

"Thankyou Tohru-Chan your so amazing!" Rita exclaimed gushing. Tohru's cheeks flamed and she shook her head.

"No, no, no, no! Im not that amazing, but im glad you think so!" Tohru said a bit shyly. Rita giggled and they all climbed down the rope ladder and headed off to Shigure's house.

Me: w00t wasn't that fun? What a long history that was, i think my fingures are going to fall off! And to think -turns to shigure- You poor writer, you have to write all your storys by hand :(

Shigure: Finally someone recognizes the poor fate I have endured.

Kyo: What fate!

Yuki: Please he already has a swelled head enough.

Tohru: Aww poor Shigure-San:(
