Chapter 3: Boar, Sheep, Tiger, Snake

Princess Sango

"Sissy!" Kisa ran up and hugged Tohru. Tohru smiled down at the small tiger, and then she noticed someone else. "Oh sissy, Hiro's with me too."

"Did you come here all by yourself?" asked Tohru.

"What, you think we'd come here with an adult because we're children to you?" asked Hiro heatedly.

"N-no um I mean…" Tohru tried finding something to say.

"Oh Hiro-chan, stop it!" Kagura answered, lightly hitting the kid's head lightly. "Konnichiwa Tohru-kun, so is Kyo in?"

Tohru nodded, "Um, yes he is here, but we have other company t-" Tohru tried to explain, but had to dodge as Kagura went for a mad dash.

Hiro just stood there, "So are you just going to let us stand outside now? Fine, I'll let myself in." With that Hiro kicked off his shoes and went into the living room.

Kisa's eyes held a million apologies and Tohru just smiled, "Let's come on inside Kisa-chan."

Kisa nodded and walked in and neatly placed her shoes by the door and followed Tohru into the living room. There was a comical scene. Kyo and Kagura were fighting, mostly because of Kagura's doing. While Hiro had gotten annoyed with Purin and Momiji, which caused them to fight too, and the rest thought this to be humorous. Shigure turned to Tohru, "Looks like we have our hands full Tohru-kun. I just hope they don't destroy the house."

Tohru giggled lightly and saw Momiji and Purin grabbing Hiro and poking him slightly. Hiro went off on them, "Stupid rabbit, now you have a friend to come annoy me too!"

Momiji didn't feel the least ashamed or angry at that remark, "Yup, and we're just going to keep annoying you Hiro!" He poked him again to prove some kind of point. Hiro growled and stomped off somewhere, leaving the duo laughing at his dismay.

Finally Ryou had seen enough, "So who is everyone now?"

The room went quiet, and Tohru finally smiled, "Well, the one next to Kyo-kun is Kagura the boar, and the one who stomped out was Hiro the sheep, and the girl right next to me is Kisa the Tiger. They're all part of the zodiac too."

In that instant Ichigo raced up to Kisa, "She's so cute, and she's the tiger? Go cats!"

Kisa hid behind Tohru, clutching to her skirt fearfully. "Sissy, who is this, is she one of your friends?"

Tohru smiled, "This is Momiya Ichigo, and she's the cat of the Mew Mew's."

Kisa's eyes lit up, "The Mew Mew's, really sissy? I've heard about them!"

Ichigo smiled, "Yup, that's me leader of the Mew Mews!"

Everyone on the Mew Mew team scoffed at their leader, "Some leader you are."

Ichigo turned to them and snorted, "Well, just because I like to take leisure times, doesn't mean I can't be a leader! Look at Mint here, she takes times to sit around and we get stuck with all the work! Wait, let me rephrase that, I get stuck with the work!"

Mint felt insulted now and they started bickering about how things were unfair, and that Mint had times when she did things. In the end Ryou had to break up the fight and both girls were on different sides of the room. Kisa, on the other hand was hiding behind Tohru because it was so loud. "It almost sounds like when Yuki and Kyo fight," Kisa whispered.

Tohru laughed and looked around the room, finding the snack plate empty, "Kisa, why don't we go get more snacks?"

Kisa nodded and they both slipped into the kitchen where Yuki sat. "It's a headache in there. Even worse, my brother did end up coming, I swear he knows when we're talking about him!"

"So where is Ayame-san?" Tohru asked, looking around for him.

"He passed out so I threw him in Shigure's room. He'll be okay in there, I hope he'll stay in there," Yuki answered her, his aura dark this time. Tohru smiled softly though and sat down next to him. "Honda-san, how come I happened to move into the noisy house of a Sohma?"

"I don't know about that, my old house could get a little…unruly. Remember, I had a Yankee for a mother, and sometimes she'd have people stop by," Tohru laughed as she remembered some kind of moment.

Yuki smiled and nodded, but then they heard a shriek from what sounded to be Mint. "Eww, it's a snake!"

Yuki shook his head but didn't make a move to get up. Tohru sighed and asked Kisa to dial Hatori's number and then hand her the phone. Kisa did as Tohru told her to and when he picked up, Tohru explained that she needed him to come and tame the unruly snake. He told her in an hour he'd be there, and to just put up with him till then.

Tohru sighed as she hung up the phone and she smiled sarcastically, "If this house is alive by the end of the day, it may just be a miracle."

As if her words were to true to herself, she heard a loud fight erupting between Kagura, Kyo, and Ichigo. A Mint screaming about a snake and Ritsu apologizing for his family; while someone was just entering the kitchen to cling to Yuki.
