Author's note: okay so just to let everyone know, I've only read up to the 12th Fruits Basket story. And for those who've read more, they know a few secrets that some of us don't know. Such as the whole Akito gender issue. I'm just gonna go with the information I've actually read and not what everyone else keeps telling me about the things in the future books. I think I'm also going with the anime information cause I've watched all the anime already and it might be easily to base my story on that.

Oh, and the part where it gets a little into the detail about the fish, its because i kinda wanted that to stand out since she's a cat. you'll see what I'm talking about.

So, here's chapter six.

Chapter 6: The Girl Called Tohru Honda

The next day, Sakura awoke to the sun shining in her room. It felt as if it has been years since she slept with a roof over her head. She noticed that all her stuff was in the room with her.

"Huh?" She heard a knock on the door. "Uh, come in."

Yuki entered the room, smiling.

"How are you feeling today?"

"Much better, thanks to all of you. I really am grateful. Thank you so much."

"It was nothing really." Yuki knelt down next to Sakura. "By the way, we never got the chance to ask you if you wanted to stay here. No one stays in this room so you're welcome to stay."

Kyo was passing by. "Yeah well she might end up like the other girl. Her memory will probably be erased." Kyo said with a sad look. He came into the room.

"My memory is going to be erased?"

Yuki held her hand. "I'm…. sorry. There is a high chance Akito will order for you memory to be erased. I say erase but it's more of a hypnotism. You'll simply forget about us."

"Akito? Is that the head of your family?"

"Yes, and nothing I do or say will stop him. That is why… I am sorry." Yuki let go of her hand and got up. Him and Kyo began to leave the room.

"Wait! Kyo. Yuki." The boys stopped. "I-I have something I want to tell you both. A secret like yours. If it's decided that my memory will be erased, then I want to tell you because you need to know. It will change your lives, just like knowing yours has changed mine."

Sakura thought for a while. I cannot afford to loose my memory. If they decided to erase my memory, I'll have to tell them about my curse. Then I must take the chance of showing them my true form. I know it will prevail and it cannot have its memory erased because it will be too unwilling to let anyone do such a thing.

Kyo and Yuki left. Sakura got dressed and went downstairs. It seems no one made breakfast so she decided to make something. Sakura was very good at housework and knew how to cook. She made a meal for everyone and set it on the table. The first one to come in was Yuki.

"Miss Luna? What's all this?"

"Um.. Breakfast. I'm sorry for going through your kitchen but I got hungry and I thought everyone else was so I made breakfast."

"Don't apologize. This look great."

Yuki sat down and took a bite. "It's delicious! It's even better than hers…"

"Okay who are you talking about. You three keep mentioning a girl. I want to know who it is you're talking about."

Yuki smiled and looked down. Kyo had come in too.

"Who are you talking about!"

Yuki looked up. "Do you know that girl named Tohru Honda in our class?"

Kyo realized what they were talking about and sat down. He started eating.

"Tohru? Oh, she has those two girls as her friends."

"Yeah, the Yankee and the psychic." Kyo said.

"Yes, well she had lived in a tent in the woods for a while and when we found out, we let her stay in the room you're staying in." Yuki said. "Then she found out our secret and she was okay with it. She was allowed to stay here and know for a while but then for some reason, Akito wanted her memories erased so then after that she left us."

Sakura was quiet for a while. "You must've been sad when she left. The way you talk about her… she must've had an impact on your lives."

I understand now. Sakura thought. The girl that was not apart of the family and she accepted them for who they were and not what they become. Poor Tohru.

"So, Kyo, do you like my food?"

Kyo paused and looked down at the food. "Yeah, whatever. Salmon's pretty good. I think it should be served a lot more often."

Sakura knew that this was a compliment and smiled when she heard it. Shigure suddenly opened the door and came into the room. He smelled the air.

"Ah! I knew I smelled something delicious. This does look very appetizing. Did you make this Sakura?"

"Yes, and I'm sorry if I put too much seasoning for your taste. I often ate all kinds of fish with these seasonings back at the Luna house."

"I think its perfect." Shigure said. "In fact, I think even take-out should do the same thing. Tell me, Sakura, do you like housework?"

"Um… I don't mind it. I'm pretty good at it. I'm assuming Tohru did some housework around here." Sakura looked around.

Shigure was a little shocked to hear the name coming from Sakura. "Hmm… well yes she has worked wonders. Our kitchen was a bit messy before she came."

"A bit?" Yuki and Kyo said.

"Okay, well a lot. So, you like housework. Great! If I paid you, would you mind keeping the house in shape?"

"Sure, but…. What about Akito?"

"Hmm? Oh, I almost forgot! I went to go see him earlier today and he's decided that you may stay."

"So, I won't lose my memory?"

"Not at all. It was strange when I told him your name. He said he'd heard it before but couldn't recall."

"That doesn't surprise me."

"Huh?" The three boys looked at her.

"Remember when I told you two I had a secret?" She looked at Kyo and Yuki and they nodded. "Well, the day you find out, it will all make sense."

The boys were confused and stared at her blankly. Sakura just smiled. She had finished her meal and picked up after herself. She turned to leave and paused for a moment.

"Oh, and Shigure," She said, "I think that it would be best if I did housework without being paid. Considering you're letting me stay for free then I suppose I can do housework to make up for paying."

Sakura left the room and went to the kitchen.

"Something tells me she has a different personality than Tohru." Shigure said.

"Miss Luna…. She's the mysterious type. She's very unpredictable." Yuki said.

"If you ask me, I think she's got a lot of different personalities hiding within her." Kyo said.

"Well, no asked you stupid cat."

"Shut up you damn rat! You're the last person I want to hear!"

"Yes, Kyo's right and so are you Yuki. I guess we'll wait to see what she has in store for us." Shigure said.

Back in the kitchen, Sakura was washing dishes.

So, this is my new home. I have a feeling great things are about to happen.
