here is the second chapter of my first ever crossover fanfiction which doubles as a parody of the Disney Channel original movie, 'Hocus Pocus'. this is the first chapter of which the story is told from the 'Xiaolin Showdown' side of this fanfiction. granted that this chapter also carries a certain character from the 'Black Cat' manga/anime in it as an elderly lady, but she's still a part of my fanfiction, here, as a teacher in school. this chapter of my 'Hocus Pocus' parody with the help of both 'Fruits Basket Another' and of 'Xiaolin Showdown' is a good, long one-thousand-three-hundred-forty-six words worth of pure storyline in my first ever crossover fanfiction on this very website, a storyline in which neither this descriptive headnote, right here, nor the disclaimer, which I've recently begun to find more than mandatory to my own fanfictions on here, are included. OK, on with the next paragraph and the disclaimer that makes up its literary structure.

disclamation: I don't own the 'Fruits Basket Another' manga series, except on paperback, that is. all rights for 'Fruits Basket' and its sequel series are due solely to Natsuki Takaya-sensei. I also don't own 'Xiaolin Showdown' in any way, shape, or form. all rights for that series and its beyond lousy reboot, 'Xiaolin Chronicles', are reserved solely for Christy Hui. I know, like the Fountain of Hui shen gong wu. if I, myself, were a gambler, I'd wager that she named that particular shen gong wu for herself. I also don't own the Halloween film 'Hocus Pocus' or its new sequel 'Hocus Pocus 2'. all ownership rights for the original are reserved for Disney Channel while the ownership rights for the sequel are reserved for Disney+.


Suddenly, a voice began to speak of the night the Hitsugaya sisters were hanged by the citizens of Tokyo and Hajime Sohma suddenly disappeared from his family's lives.

Voice: Poor Hajime Sohma! Neither his mother, his father, his brother, his foster sister, nor anyone else ever knew what happened to him that long century ago.

The owner of the voice which spoke of Hajime Sohma's unknown fate made herself known as an elderly woman in a witch's hat.

Elderly woman: And so, the Hitsugaya sisters were hanged by the citizens of Tokyo.

The elderly woman had also turned out to be a teacher in a high school. It was not, however, Kaibara High School, or the high school run by the Sohma family. It was a different high school altogether called Kimigamichi Prep. It had allowed only either the elite, the wealthy, or the crazy intelligent into its walls.

Elderly woman (continued): Now, there are those who say that on Halloween night, a black cat still guards the old Hitsugaya house, warning off any who might make the witches come back to life.

Then, she threw a black streamer ribbon at one of her students keeping in with the theme for the holiday that was once called All Hallows' Eve. All of the woman's students always had fun with her as their teacher; all of the students, that was, except for the newcomer to the class, to the school, and even to the country of Japan, itself.

New Student: Give me a break, Miss Kirisaki!

The elderly woman, Kyoko Kirisaki, was now deeply offended by her new transfer student's comment about her already being an old woman yet still as single as a virgin. She was even more offended, however, by his skepticism as a complete foreigner.

Kyoko Kirisaki: Ah-ha, we seem to have a skeptic in our midst. Well, Pedrosa-san, do you care enough to share your laid-back Brazilian point of view, which hails from Rio de Janeiro and is no doubt tie-dyed underneath even your own school uniform?

Kyoko Kirisaki was probably simply looking to find out exactly what her new transfer student from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by the name of Raimundo Pedrosa had thought Halloween was really about. The whole class then began laughing at Raimundo for being a skeptic, though.

Raimundo Pedrosa: OK. Well, uh, granted that all of you here in Japan really value cute stuff on Halloween while the rest of the world is into these black cats and witches and scary stuff on Halloween, but everyone in my neck of the woods knows that Halloween is just an excuse to get laid on candy that was invented by the candy companies, themselves. It's a conspiracy, people!

That was when someone else spoke up about Raimundo Pedrosa's ideals on Japan's views of Halloween. It was a girl in the class, and it was even the very same girl who sat next to Raimundo, as a matter of fact.

Girl next to Raimundo: It just so happens that Halloween is actually based on the ancient feast of All Hallows' Eve. It's the one night of the year when the spirits of the dead can return to Earth.

The entire class cheered for the girl sitting next to Raimundo in classroom, even Old Miss Kirisaki.

Kyoko Kirisaki: Well said, Kimiko Tohomiko-san! Then again, I would expect nothing less from a prized pupil here at Kimigamichi Prep. Academy and one of my best-behaved students.

Of course! The girl sitting in the classroom next to Raimundo was none other than the daughter of the wealthiest electronics and gaming tycoon in all of Japan, the entire continent of Asia, and maybe even the whole world, Toshiro Tohomiko, the CEO of Tohomiko Electronics.

It was then that the school bell rang, and all the students got out of their seats. Even Raimundo got up to leave for the day to face Halloween night, despite being disrespectful to the teacher in her own class. Of course, he could never live with himself being disrespectful to Kimiko. He merely handed her a sheet of paper like it was all he wanted to give her.

Raimundo Pedrosa: In case, Aurora Miranda plays in here tonight, here's my number.

Raimundo then handed her the slip of paper, and Kimiko suddenly realized he was asking for her own phone number in return as soon as he gave it to her. It was then that she got up and another guy, Daisuke Hamajinki, showed up if only to tell Raimundo that Kimiko was so far out of his reach, that the Brazilian newcomer would need to find someone else to pine after.

Daisuke Hamajinki: Hey, Rai, fat chance she'll ever give you her number in return. Or even the time of day, for that matter.

Daisuke Hamajinki was one of Headmaster Fung's most prized students in the school. He was a straight A student, he was captain of every sports team on campus, and he was quite the hit with the ladies in the school.

Daisuke was also Kimiko's present boyfriend, and the guy was obviously marking his territory with the term 'fat chance' towards poor Raimundo.

Raimundo Pedrosa: Oh, you'll see, Hamajinki! She'll call me! You'll see!

As the rest of the students of Kimigamichi Prep. were all released to go home to finally celebrate Halloween, Raimundo rushed out of the building to the front of the campus, got onto his bicycle, and began following Kimiko when he had noticed her walk by.

Raimundo Pedrosa: Kimiko.

Raimundo had finally caught up with Kimiko just quickly enough to make a decent conversation.

Kimiko Tohomiko: Hi.

Raimundo Pedrosa: Hi. Look, um, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you in class.

Kimiko Tohomiko: Oh, trust me. It wasn't me you embarrassed in class.

Raimundo put his hand out for Kimiko to shake.

Raimundo Pedrosa: My name's Raimundo Pedrosa, but sometimes I go by just 'Rai'.

Kimiko Tohomiko: Yeah, I know you just recently moved even to Japan.

Raimundo Pedrosa: Yeah, just two weeks ago from Brazil.

Kimiko Tohomiko: It must be a big change for you.

Raimundo Pedrosa: Yeah, that's for sure.

Kimiko Tohomiko: You don't like it here?

Raimundo Pedrosa: Oh, the trees look good here, but I don't know. It's just all of this Halloween curses and stuff.

Kimiko Tohomiko: You don't believe in it?

Raimundo Pedrosa: What? You mean the Hitsugaya sisters and the legend of Hajime Sohma? No way!

Kimiko Tohomiko: Not even on Halloween?

Raimundo Pedrosa: Especially not on Halloween.

It might have been the truth, but it was still a pretty tactless thing to say. Kimiko just held up a folded slip of paper to the insanely intelligent, but completely and totally tactless Brazilian newcomer to Tokyo from rough and heavy-on-partying streets of Rio de Janeiro.

Kimiko Tohomiko: Trick or treat, Rai!

Raimundo gratefully accepted the paper from Kimiko, believing it to have been her own phone number in return for when he had given her his.

Raimundo Pedrosa's brain: Take that, Daisuke Hamajinki.

Upon opening up the slip of paper, however, Raimundo was finally brought forth from his dreamworld and back into reality when he had realized that his crush, Kimiko, was giving him back the same slip of paper he had given her with his supposed phone number on it. Worse times infinity, he realized far too late that he had only put down the area code instead of his whole phone number. With the realization not only of having been given back the slip of paper but also all of the crucial part(s) of the gift to his crush which he had stupidly forgotten to write down on the sheet of paper, Raimundo only looked in Kimiko's direction, heartbroken and rejected, and just headed for his family's new home on the bad side of the city.
