Chapter Two (Chapter Four)

Disclaimer: I STILL don't own Fruits Basket, only the characters mentioned in this short list: Kison, Haku and Laurie, they are the children of Kyou and Kagura, Haru and Rin and a girl at the school.

Kison sighed as she placed the upside down cartoon of orange juice to her lips. She had punctured a hole in the side of the plastic container to drain the juice as she forgot to pick up a straw when she first bought it. Her crimson eyes darted to the door of her house, she was intending on asking about Haku Sohma. She placed her hand on the doorknob before quickly opening it, taking a step inside. The sixteen year old closed her eyes and sighed before continuing to hum the song she had been practicing in music class. She had so wanted to understand more about that strange boy.
"Mom, I'm…" She trailed off as her eyes widened. Standing in front of her were three people, two older people who could have been friends of her mother and father – and a younger man, obviously Haku who was the boy she had met at school. She didn't make herself noticed quite yet as she backed out of the living room into the lobby and peered slightly around the doorframe and watched what they were doing.

"Mind telling us what the hell is going on here?" Kyou yelled at the other male. Haru sighed. "You were to keep well away from our daughter." Kagura looked frantically to Rin trying to calm down the two men. They were just not going to quit. Rin sighed and sweat dropped as the verbal fight soon got physical.
"Kyou, darling, Kison's going to be getting home from school any minute." Kison smirked to herself, no she wasn't… she was already home. Even this didn't phase her father as soon he was evading every punch and kick Haru was throwing his way and hitting back. It was only when – surprisingly – Haru kicked Kyou swiftly in the jaw that Kison ran out of her hiding place and separated them by standing in front of them with her arms stretched out. Kagura's eyes were then the pair to widen.

"You must stop this! It's all right now… just calm down." Kison's words slowed down slightly at the 'just calm down' part. Amazingly it seemed they calmed down. "Everything's going to be alright, whatever you're fighting over can be solved… talking, can't it? Just try. Please?" When Kison said please she jerked her head up smiling as her hair bounced off of her shoulders. She didn't know it was so surprising being able to calm them down, and she didn't realise she had a strange blue aura around her while she had said it.
"What did she do?" Haku asked as he took a step forward. "No way would they have calmed down so quickly." Kagura turned towards Haku struggling to talk; she didn't know what to say exactly… and by the looks of it neither did Rin. Kison looked towards her hands and – when it seemed her eyes couldn't get any wider she jerked up once more.
"I must be going." The orange haired female said almost racing out of the house.

As she stopped behind the tree in her back garden the girl looked up towards the sky. It was weird, she had once did that before – except it was when she was stressed out… she was upset, nearly crying because she wasn't able to finish something very important and it seemed everyone in the class had gotten upset over something too.
"What's wrong with me?" Kison asked herself as she fell to her knees with her hands covering her bowed head. "This isn't normal; there is something wrong with me." The boy had looked around the garden, he had followed Kison out after his mother and Kison's mother began explaining a few more things to each other. He had heard every word she had just said and his eyes softened slightly as he turned himself around the tree and looked down at the shuddering and frightened girl.
"Nothing's wrong with you." Kison looked up shocked.
"What did you say?" Kison asked the shock reflected in her voice also. Haku dropped slightly so he half standing.

"There is nothing at all wrong with you, you just seem to have a way with people and that your emotions are so easily displayed that they have no reason but join in – your contagious, even your smile." Haku smiled watching as Kison smiled slightly back. She clenched her fists. Yes that's it, nothing is wrong with me… nothing, but I'll pretend I never heard that contagious word – I'm not a disease. "Coming now?" Haku asked as he stood back up and reached out his hand for hers. Yet it was when she stood up that she dripped up on one of the trees roots, that was growing up like it was wanting her to do what she was about to do, which was to fall over without warning into Haku's arms.

When a scream was heard, the adults turned to the window before looking towards each other.
"What was?" Kyou asked Kagura before they realised. "Kison." Yet maybe she was doing what she usually did, when she came home angry from school because she was ignored or made fun of because of her hair she would grab a cushion and scream as loud as she could into it – not that it stopped the sound, she was really like her parents although she was much more timid in public. They then decided that they should perhaps go…
