A/N: Hi! I don't own Fruits Basket, or the song 'Milkshake' by Kelis, so don't kill me. This is chapter is by me(lil' enchantress), but the idea was from both me and my friend(SteelyToast). She'll do the next chapter and I'll do the one after and so on, yada yada yada. Ok, just read it.

Kyo had no clue how he'd gotten into this fine mess he was in. Music blared around him, confusing him to the extent his ears felt like they were bleeding. Momiji was running on top of tables, and Ritsu was dressed in a usually Hatori styled outfit. He stepped backwards away from all the crowd and felt his shoe sink into a puddle of sticky stuff he was afraid to find out what exactly it was. Sighing, he remembered how just that morning, Tohru simply asked if they, meaning Yuki and himself, would go with her to get some groceries. And I mean, how dangerous could it be to go and get a simple bag of groceries?
"Thanks so, so much for coming with me Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun!" Tohru thanked with glee. "I've been wanting to try something new for dinner and I wanted to know something that both of you guys would agree on."
"Don't worry about it Honda-san," Yuki mentioned. "It's nice to take a walk away from the house once and a while."
"Why'd we have to bring him," Kyo growled. "You don't have to make anything he likes, he's not worth it!"
"Well, um, I," Tohru started to explain, as a sweatdrop appeared. "Ooh! What's that?" Tohru exclaimed as her eyes lit up, pointing at a large neon sign hanging a few stores ahead.
"Looks like a new karaoke bar," Yuki replied.
Tohru turned her head towards him and Kyo. Her eyes had huge stars in them, like the time Shigure suggested they go on a double date and she had an emotional overload. They both knew it was coming, and it was their own fault for walking into the trap of explaining what it was when they knew she would want to do it. Okay, well it was Yuki's fault, but that's not the point. They were trapped and they could never say no to Tohru. End results - they were doomed.
"Uh, maybe we could stop by here on the way back from the store?" Kyo questioned, hoping she would take the bait. After all, if they had freezer food, or refrigerated stuff, they couldn't stay in there too long, could they? Before he had more time to think of what ways could go wrong with his plan, Tohru accepted his proposal and started skipping down the sidewalk to the grocery store with a dazed expression on her face. But after about three skips, she tripped on a crack and fell face first into the pavement.
/--\/-\/--\/-\/--
When they came out of the store, they had four bags.Two containing refrigerated or freezer foods, another containing cheese puffs and soda for watching a movie on television later, and the last had random dried noodles and rice because they were out. The fifth bag contained all leeks, which Yuki swears Kyo picked out, not him. A random magazine was placed into one of their bags as they walked out the door, none of them noticing the big fat guy that shoved it in with his huge chubby hand.
They finally got back to where the karaoke bar was, Tohru's nosebleed still covering the pavement in front of the sign. As they walked up to the door, Yuki tried to pull it open with all his strength, to much failure. Kyo knocked him out of the way and muttered something about rats being too weak. But he too failed to pull the door open. In the end, Tohru poked them both aside and pushed the door open with much ease, both amazed by her power.
"How'd you do that?" Kyo exclaimed, bewilderly.
"It says PUSH, you dumba$$," she said under her breath.
"What'd you say?" Yuki asked, wondering if he heard what he thought he just heard.
"Oh, nothing," Tohru shook his comment off, arranging her face into a mindless daze again, secretly cursing herself for letting them see a glimpse of the fact that she's actually smarter than she lets on.
All three of them slid into the karaoke bar, then walked up the bartender and asked where they could find the list of songs they played for the karaoke-ers. As they glanced through the list, the lights dimmed down and a bouncey hip-hop tune started to play. A shadowy figure walked up the side stairs onto the stage, stopping only when they got to the direct middle of the stage. Their head was facing downward, but when the spot light hit them, their chin raised high with their white hair dramatically flying everywhere. Hatsuharu began singing and started a wild belly dance, moving his hand dramatically to match the song...
My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like "It's better than yours"
Damn right, It's better than yours,
I can teach you, but I have to charge
My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like "It's better than yours"
Damn right, It's better than yours,
I can teach you, but I have to charge
Tohru, overflowing with giddiness, shouted, "I'll pay!" Throwing her right fist into the air to help prove her pointless point. For a spilt two seconds Yuki and Kyo could've sworn they saw Haru look over in their direction and smile, before looking off into the wall in the back of the bar. The temporary distraction was soon forgotten as Haru's singing drowned their thoughts out, whether they wanted it or not.
I know you want it...
The thing that makes me,
What the guys go crazy for,
They lose their minds, The way I wind,
I think it's time...
Momiji, which every just noticed was already on the stage, began singing the background 'la-la-la-la-la-la', moving his arms and hands back and forth about head level, making the small crowd get deep into the creepy song of Haru's choice.
(La-La-La-La-la)
Warm it up,

Technics that freaks these boys,
It can't be bought,
Just don't please get caught,
Watch if you're smart,
(La-La-La-La-la)
Warm it up,

Oh, Once you get involved,
Everyone will look this way so,
You must maintain your charm,
Sametime maintain your halo,
Just get the perfect lense,
Then switch it up and then,
(spoken)
Then next his eyes are squint,
Then he's picked up your scent,
(La-La-La-La-la)
Warm it up,
(La-La-La-La-la)
The boys are waiting,

The lights slightly brightened when the song ended, and Haru walked down the side steps of the stage, slinking over to where the threesome stood in shock. The audience was following him with their eyes and appauding the unusual performance he had just put on.
"Hey Tohru," Haru said nodding to her, then turning to Yuki, also nodding. "Yuki."
"What about me?" Kyo shouted, feeling left out. "What? Am I not important enough? Are you ashamed to be seen by me?"
"Actually," Haru started before getting cut off by a hyper Momiji who had just jumped off the stage and was flying through the air towards them. Before any of them could do anything about it, he landed on Tohru with a huge poof and a cloud of smoke.
To be continued...

A/N: okay, I know the 'to be continued part' was cheesy, but I had to do it at least once. In case none of you know this, this is my first fanfic, so be nice with the reviews!(actually, I don't care. if you don't like it, go ahead and tell me what you don't like) Like I said at the beginning, my friend SteelyToast is gonna do the next chapter, but unlike me, she has experience in writing fanfics, so it'll be much better. (she wants to tell you that she's never finished one though). kk, enough of me babbling, I have a science project we're supposed to be working on. - Bye!
