A note from Raven-san: Okay this is gonna make me sound stupid but I just realized you can make a line thingy. Usually what I do is write everything on wordpad then upload it to fan fiction then I post it up so everyone can read it. I don't edit it or anything so I've never realized you could do a line thingy. I made a little mistake somewhere so I had to edit it and then I discovered the line.
This might make things a little fun for me now though. I can write someextra stuff and not have to worry about separating it from the story.


Raven: Okay, first of all thanks to everyone who read my very first story. It make me really happy when you review.
Alice(Raven's alter ego): Isn't there something else you should be saying? Something important?
Raven: What? I don't-- Ohhh... Right.
Alice: Idiot.
Raven: (sighs) Well, I know this is really late but there might be spoilers from the anime and maybe the manga. Not really intended though. I kinda forgot to mention it at the beginning and I assumed that people who read my story already know the basic plot of Fruits Basket. (sweatdrop)
Alice: Lesson Learned... never assume. Well, enjoy the next chapter which is really boring because the point of this chapter was just to introduce two new Sohmas. But anyways, once again we don't own Fruits Basket or the characters. Thanks!
Raven: ...I hate you...


Chapter 7: Meeting more Sohmas

The next day, Sakura had to work. She goes during the day shift so she can get work over with. When she was walking back to her new home, she got lost.

Great. What do I now? Sakura thought.

"Excuse me." A voice said behind Sakura. She turned around and saw a boy and girl. The boy had white hair on top and black hair on the bottom. The girl seemed like she might be younger than Sakura. She seemed like an average girl apart from the boy. The boy spoke.

"You wouldn't happen to be lost, would you?"

"Eh…. Y-yes, I'm trying to find my way to Shigure Sohma's house. I don't know if you've heard the name or know where it is but if you do could you help me?"

"Me and Haru were heading there anyways." The girl said. "Y-you must be the one everyone's talking about. You knowabout the cursejust like Tohru knew. Sakura Luna, right?" The girl said shyly.

"Yeah, uh, how did you know my name. Are you- are you related to the Sohmas?" Sakura asked.

Sakura felt like flinching at Tohru's name. They all talk about Tohru like she was some kind of- I don't know… a queen or something. I don't mean to sound envious or rude or anything but am I honestly just nothing compared to her?

"Yes. I'm Kagura. That's my name, Kagura Sohma."

"I'm Hatsuharu Sohma. We're also part of the zodiac." the boy said.

"So, then you two have the curse too?"

"Yes, unfortunately." Haru said. "By any chance, is Yuki home?"

"He should be. I'm sure Kyo and Shigure are there too."

"Kyo's there! We have to hurry! I must see my darling Kyo." Kagura ran ahead.

"Eh?" Sakura gave an odd look and she followed Kagura.

So, if they're part of the zodiac, I wonder what animals they are. Hatsuharu's hair reminds me of a cow. I wonder if he's the ox. What's Kagura then? Maybe I'll find out. Sakura thought.

Kagura had led Sakura home. Sakura made sure to remember where the house was so she would never forget again. Inside, Sakura found a very scared Kyo and the innocent looking Kagura. Sakura didn't understand why Kyo was so afraid of her.

"Kyo…. Why? Why do you keep running away from me? All I want is your love. I miss you Kyo. Every time I leave here I think about you and just can't stand to be away. Oh, darling….. I MISS YOU SO MUCH!"

Kagura grabbed by the arm and threw him out of the room and through the paper door. Sakura now understood why Kyo was so afraid. Kagura literally beat the crap out of Kyo. As Sakura watched, she soon realized what animal she was.

"She's the boar!" Sakura said out loud with pride at being able to figure it out.

"So she is." Shigure said. Sakura had not realized he was behind her. "I'm surprised you were so quick at figuring it out." Shigure smiled. Hatsuharu entered the room.

"And Hatsuharu is the ox, right?" Sakura looked over at him. He nodded.

Kagura and Kyo began bringing the commotion towards them. Kagura was about to punch Kyo but he ducked. Her fist kept going and hit Sakura in the chest. Sakura had the air blown out of her but despite how hard she was hit, she remained in the same spot. However, after a short time, the impact caused her to fall backwards onto her butt. As she did, the bell on her neck rang.

The ring caused a bond between Sakura and the three members of the zodiac. Hatsuharu, Kagura, and Shigure all paused for a moment. Then, Shigure finally asked.

"Sakura, where did you get that bell?"

"Um… I've had it ever since I was born." Sakura said.

"I feel a little strange. Like-" Kagura paused, "like there's a connection between us."

"I don't understand." Sakura said. "This happened with Yuki and Kyo too… now it happened to all of you. What is this?"

I knew this bell was special but is there more to it that I don't know about? Sakura thought.

"This certainly is strange. Maybe I'll call Ha'ri." Shigure said. He went to the phone.

"Ha'ri?" Sakura asked.

"Hatori Sohma is the Sohma family doctor. He's also a member of the zodiac."

"I wonder which one he is. Does he know Tohru too?" Sakura almost had a disgusted tone in her voice. She didn't know why but for some reason she couldn't stand Tohru.

Hatsuharu answer her. "Actually, only Shigure, Kyo, Yuki, and Kagura have actually got to know her.Hatorihasmet her but never got to know her.She's a mystery to the rest of us. We've all heard a lot about her and you too. I'm glad I got to meet you."

Sakura saw that Hatsuharu seemed to feel bad for not meeting Tohru. Yuki walked into the room.

"Haru? Kagura? When did you get here?"

"Yuki…." Hatsuharu floated towards Yuki. "Where have you been?" He said, straightening Yuki's collar on his shirt.

"I was at my secret base." Yuki said.

"You've got a secret base?" Sakura blinked a few times. She had no idea and was now curious to see it. "Is it really big and have cool stuff inside it?"

"Uh, no, it's not exactly what you're thinking of. I'll show you one day."

"That sounds exciting!"

Kyo, who finally got a break from Kagura, stood up the moment Yuki entered the room. Kagura was about to go beat him to death but she remembered Sakura.

"Oh! I'm sorry for hitting you. I-I didn't mean to."

Yuki was surprised. "You hit Miss Luna?"

Sakura smiled, rubbing her chest. "It was an accident. It's fine. Hmm.. I guess I should fix us something to eat." Sakura left to the kitchen.

"Maybe you should go help her." Yuki said to Kagura. She nodded.

"Hi!" Kagura entered the kitchen.

"Ah! Oh, hello Kagura." Sakura was startled.

"Yuki said I should help."

"Uh, okay."

"Can I make Kyo's meal?"

"Sure, I guess. You must really like him."

"Mm-hmm."

"If you do then why do you hurt him so much?"

Both girls started cooking. Kagura was happily making Kyo's meal.

"I don't mean to hurt him." Kagura's personality became soft. "I just get so excited to see him and my love comes out all at once."

"You know, hugs are better. Oh wait, you can't hug him, can you? He'll just transform."

"I can hug him. You see, it's okay for zodiac members to hug each other no matter if they're boys or girls. No one knows why."

So, Kagura can hug any one of them whenever she wants. Instead, she fights them. Why? Maybe that's just the personality of the boar. Sakura thought. She seems to really like Kyo too. I wonder why. It seems there's more to it than what people see or know.

The girls finished cooking and everyone ate. Soon, it was time for Hatsuharu and Kagura to leave.

"Bye Kyo! I love you!" Kagura said happily. "Be sure to call me!"

"Like I ever would! What if I don't want to?"

"You better call me damn it!" Kagura suddenly became angry. She started fighting with Kyo again.

Hatsuharu waited by the door.

"Well, it was nice meeting you Hatsuharu." Sakura said.

"Just call me Haru and it was a pleasure meeting you." Haru bowed and Sakura did too.

Wow! He's really polite. I never expected him to be. I'm not sure why.

"Iif you don't mind me asking, how old are you?" Sakura asked.

"I'm a year younger than Kyo and Yuki. Kagura is two years older than them if you're wondering."

"Really? I was sure that she was younger."

"Well, sometimes things aren't what they seem with the Sohmas."

"Huh?"

Kagura stopped fighting and she ran out of the door saying, "YOU'RE SO MEAN KYO!" Haru followed her out.

I wonder what he meant by that. I think I know though. He's saying that there's more to the Sohmas than what I might think, or something along those lines.

Yuki and Kyo were sitting at the table.

"Finally, she's gone." Kyo said.

"You don't like it when she's here?" Sakura said.

"No! I hate it! She always acts like that."

Sakura wanted to defend what Kyo was saying by saying something mean but she stopped. Sakura looked at the two boys and ran off. Kyo and Yuki looked at each other, both were confused. Shigure came in.

"Well, Ha'ri's coming over. He's bringing over Momiji since he's watching over him. Hmm? What's wrong with you two? Where's Sakura?"

Sakura ran deep into the forest. No! I'm so stupid! I can't afford for this to happen to me. Not now! I should've known better than to be thinking like I have been.

A silver smoke surrounded her and she transformed into a black cat. As a cat, Sakura can talk just like the Sohmas can.

"No! I'm such an idiot! Why? Why does this have to happen now?"

Sakura's transformation differs from the Sohmas in a couple of ways. She still has her same eyes, unlike the Sohmas do when they transform, and she still has her bell on. Even if the bell is taken off while in cat form, she wouldn't change into her true form. Then, once she manages to kiss someone in order to change back, she still has all her clothes on.

Sakura looked around. "Who am I suppose to kiss? There's nobody here! This is all my fault. I just had to have such negative feelings. I have to stop thinking like that."

Sakura ran through the forest and found the Sohma house. She felt a strange feeling drawing her to the roof. She found a ladder leading up there and she struggled to get up to the top. When Sakura finally reached the top, Kyo was there.

Is he the one drawing me in? It must be him because he's the cat.

Sakura had a choice. She could either tell Kyo and everyone about her secret now or she could make an excuse for kissing Kyo. Sakura decided on what she would do. She slowly walked up to Kyo.
