Chapter 3: let it all begin!
"Ahh… such a lovely breeze." Shigure says allowed carrying fewer things than Tohru.
"SHIRURE!" Ritsu yells as he runs up to them.
"Ritsu?"
"I'm sorry for taking off! I'm sorry! I got nervous around Mitsuru and I couldn't help but run away with your Takayoki! I'm sorry! I'm so so so sorry!"
"Ritsu…"
"Yes Shigure?"
"Give me my Takayoki."
"Ah! Oh, yes! Sorry!" Ritsu aggressively hands Shigure the Takayoki.
"Thank you!" As he takes out two Takayoki's for both him and Tohru, he starts to eat. "So Ritsu, if you don't mind me asking, but are you falling in love with my editor?"
"NO! I CAN'T! That would be wrong of me to-"
"Your very rude Ritsu."
"Wha?"
"For one, Tohru is here as well, and you did not bother to say "hi" to either one of us, and second, Mitsuru is probably at my house, crying at the front door because you ditched her like that!"
"Oh my gosh!" Ritsu took off running, accidentally pushing Shigure into Tohru, transforming him into a dog. "I'M SORRY SHIGURE AND EXCUSE ME TOHRU!"
"Heh, that's Ritsu for you."
"Oh my gosh, Shigure!" Tohru yells out. "Are you alright?"
"GIVE IT BACK!" a voice from across the street yells out.
"Yes, Tohru, I'm quite –" Shigure says until another voice interrupts him.
"WAIT! Please! Give it back!" Shigure turns his attention to across the street seeing three local punks running away from a young girl whose chasing after them for some reason.
"I'll be back Tohru!" Shigure yells as he runs off.
"Wait, Shigure!" But even before Tohru finished what she said, Shigure was already across the street following the four kids into an alley while still in dog form.
Chapter 4: to the rescue
Sorry for interrupting. Anyway, in my opinion, the story doesn't get that good until somewhere in the middle of this chapter…uhh… that was it. Sorry, now you can continue…
"Ha ha ha!" The leader of the three boys laughs as he is pushing the poor girl against a wall, defenseless. The young girl, who couldn't be more than 10 years old has grayish brown hair and dirty clothes that proves that she has been living on the street for quite some time. Even her smell gives the hint of that. The three boys cornering her, with one of the boys holding a pink wallet with him, all had dark black hair. It's like they're all triplets or something. "You could have been left alone, with us holding onto your wallet of course, but you just had to follow us."
"Well duh! You're stealing my wallet!" Angry, the boy slaps her on the cheek. "Shut up bitch!" he yells.
"Uh… Bark bark!" Shigure yells as he runs in.
"Help doggy!" In haste, Shigure runs up to the boy pinning the girl, biting him on the leg.
"DAMMIT!" He yells as he releases the girl, trying to shake the dog off his leg.
"A guard dog!" the boy holding the pink wallet yells.
"Hey!" The boys turn back to the girl who kicks the boy holding the wallet in the shin "HYA!" As he lays fetal position on the floor, the other boy backs away, running. "Fuck this shit!" he yells. The moment the boy holding the wallet tried to get up, the girl kicks him again, making him unconscious. She smiles proudly as she grabs the pink wallet back.
"Come doggy!" The girl yells running. Shigure lets go of the boys' leg, running after the girl.
The moment they were out of danger, Shigure finds himself led to a park. The little girl starts to throws her arms around Shigure crying. "Thank you! Th-thank you so much! Y-your su-such a good d-doggy."
"Your welcome."
"What the?"
"Bark bark." Oh that's right… Shigure thought as the girl shrugged, and continues hugging him. She thinks I'm a dog… which is true. But… Finally after the many hugs, the girl stood back up, pats Shigure on the head, and begins to walk off. Ok, she's leaving. Now time to go… When Shigure turned around, he realizes that wherever he is, he doesn't know the way back. Uh oh… Desperate at a time like this, he turns back around, running after the girl "Bark bark!".
"What the?" When the girl looks back, Shigure leaps into her arms, causing her to fall to the ground. "Ouch…" oops. "What do you want boy? Or are you a girl?" Curiously, she tries to take a look, but Shigure backs away nervously. "Oh… dogs like privacy too." Apologetically, she walks up to Shigure, patting him on the head. "Sorry girl," Girl? "So what was it that you wanted?"
"Bark bark." How does she expect me to reply back?
"Oh wait… dogs can't talk either. Hey! Before I left home, I had a sister whose about four years younger than me. Before she was kidnapped, she was able to talk to animals… er, actually, communicate… but that's not useful to know right now. So, do you want to be my friend girl?" Shigure nods his head aggressively along with one of his fake barks. "Yay! So… what to call you…" Oh… boy. "I'll call you Keiko!" A sweat drop appears on Shigure's head as he shook his head no. "Don't like that huh? How about… Ami?" Nope. Shigure shakes his head again. "Your picky. What do you want to be called then?" My god girl, how can I reply? Oh wait a second… a brilliant idea came into his mind. He grabs a stick with his mouth, and then runs over towards the playground. He starts to drag his stick through the sand to write some words down. Curiously, the girl walks up to him to see what he's doing. In Kanji, Shigure has written, "Why don't you call me "Almighty Shigure?" And I'm a man you know?" The girl stares at Shigure's words like how you would if you were to see one of the Sohma family members' transform into an animal all of a sudden. "You can write…" Gleefully, the girl throws her arms around Shigure once more. "You're so smart!" That I am…
Eh! I forgot a disclaimer! So here it is: I don't own Fruits Basket, but I DO own this story, and the new characters I put in it.
Ahh… chapter four was able to fill up it's own page, but I guess I'll stick with the way I'm posting the story like this. Please comment! … again.
