Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket, but I still own Kari and a new character I will probably introduce in this chapter. Ha that brings my count up to two characters!

A/N: I've been doing some character sketches and I came up with a new character. Funny how it started really. Well I was drawing a sketch of Kari and I put her in the Kaibara High uniform and came up with a new character with that. I really hope that she can show up in this chapter. Well I know she will but you might not see much of her. Well my arm is feeling better…I put some anti-bacterial cream on it and I recently came upon one of those bigger band-aids and that fit on so…no more of the tape!

Chapter 2

"Didn't I tell you not to come bothering people, Ayame," sighed a deep voice from the doorway. They all turned around to see Hatori standing there. "Let's go home Ayame."

"Well, bye-bye! Don't fret I'll come to see you very soon Yuki!" Ayame screamed as he walked out of the door.

"Wait! You didn't tell us about that girl!" Yuki screamed after them. "Well then come back on Saturday! O.K.?"

"Don't worry Yuki! However long I am away I will always come back to you. See you on Saturday then!" Ayame called back to him his long white hair flowing with every word.

"Shigure, who is that girl?" Tohru asked brightly. "She looks just like Ayame. It's strange…"

"You'll have to just wait until Saturday when Aaya comes to see us again," smiled Shigure. Well I guess we'll just have to see on Saturday how Aaya is really dealing with this.

Wednesday Aaya's POV

"Oh! You came to see me so soon!" my face lit up as Shigure walked in the door to my shop. It's great that he came. I haven't quite been able to concentrate on my work as well, thanks to Mine that pointed it out. But, I can't stop thinking about her, Kari. Sure I see her all the time here. She's gone on vacation now but ever since Monday I can't think of anything else but her. I didn't want her memories to be erased but I suppose it was for the best. If Har'i hadn't done it then she would have surely died from the pain. "So Shigure, you never told me why you were here."

"Well I just wanted to see how you were doing and Yuki wanted me to come and ask you if you could come early. He is really excited to hear about your story. Now that I mention it he's never seemed so happy," Shigure smiled at me.

"Well, I suppose I could come tomorrow…" I trailed off. "Listen Shigure, I'm glad you came. I really need a friend right now. I thought that I was really over her but; I guess I never will be. Things will never be the same that they were before," tears started to form in the young man's eyes. "It wasn't even her fault! I let my guard down and my parents kicked me out of the house for letting the secret out! It's all my fault that she got so sick with guilt! It's my fault that Yuki was sold to Akito, my parents didn't want the burden of another cursed member to make Akito mad," tears streamed down my pale face as Shigure pulled me into a tight embrace.

"It's not your fault Aaya. None of it is your fault. Akito just doesn't want us zodiac members to have fun with life but that's never stopped us before has it Aaya?" Shigure asked me. He, like Har'i always said just what I wanted to hear.

Har'i's POV

There was the familiar jingle of the bell on the door and none other than Hatori walked into the back of the store where Shigure was comforting Ayame. "Ayame," he whispered as he too walked up to him and joined the embrace. "Shigure can I speak to you a moment," he asked standing up. Shigure stood and followed him out of the shop.

"What happened?" I asked. "I can tell something happened when he was over at your house. Was it with Yuki again?"

"He still blames himself for everything that happened. With Kari, and with Yuki," Shigure answered me immediately as he stared at the ground.

I'm sure that he wouldn't blame you for his pain if you did erase her memories Har'i.

"And after all of that he still doesn't blame you. It's amazing isn't it Har'i?" Shigure asked me.

"Yes, Ayame truly has the heart to forgive that I've always wished I had. But it's pointless for him to keep up with thinking everything is his fault. Yuki is the same way, he thinks he is to blame that he was given over to Akito but it's not."

"I can think of one other person like that," Shigure looked at me with that all to familiar smirk. "You're the same way Har'i. You too always push other people's troubles onto yourself."

"You think so? Do I really push all that upon myself?" I said as I watched Shigure nod his head. I sighed and turned into the building again. "Ayame! Listen to me! None of this is your fault. Everything is because of the curse. Kana, Yuki, Kari, everything is because of the curse."

Ayame looked up from where he was now sitting quietly, "Your completely right Tori. This is all because of that stupid curse. But it is even more Akito's fault. Just because we are cursed is that the reason why we still can't have regular lives."

Friday Yuki's POV

"Finally you got here! Would you like something to eat nii-san?" I asked my brother Ayame. He smiled back at me and nodded. While I ran into the kitchen he walked into the living room and picked up the scrapbook that I had been pondering over for days.

"So you three want to know about Kari now don't you?" he asked cautiously. Tohru and I sat closer to the table as he opened the book to the pages with Kari in them. "Well, where to begin…might as well be at the beginning. Well as you all know me and Shigure are the world most horrible science people in the world so being as we burnt down half the middle schools lab tables they didn't put us together in high school."

Flashback 11 years ago

"She's that cheerleader Gure! Can you believe my luck?" Ayame said as he spun around on his black rolling chair.

"Well that's good for you but I had better leave. You know how much the presedent hates me in here," laughed Shigure as he stepped out and almost ran into a girl but side-stepped her easily. Ayame sighed as he saw her come in with Hatori close behind.

"So now that everybody is here," said the student council presedant, Makoko Takei, a few moments later "does anybody have some ideas that we can use for the culture festival."

"Oh, I do! I do!" screamed Ayame jumping up from his chair.

"Yes, Sohma," sighed Makoko.

"How about we sponser a big dance. We could all do the hokie pokie and all that. It's brilliant," Ayame's bright yellow eyes sparkled as he sood with his fist in the air. Hatori shook his head and stood up.

"A dance is a good idea but probably not the hokie pokie. Maybe just a dance based on the culture of what we're doing," he spoke slowly and clearly so that Makoko would hear his every word.

"Brilliant idea Hatori. I'm sure that we will be able to use that!" Makoko cheered.

So, chapter 2. Ha, anyway I really liked this chapter even though I have been needing to rush all these chapter considering not having enough time for anything. But, even though I'm quite pleased with the outcome. Well, read and review, please.
