You don't Belong in a Fruits Basket!

Welcome Back To Earth, Roku!

DISCALIMAR- Like every crazy fan girl/boy. I wished I owned this awesome anime called Fruits Basket. SADLY, THOSE DREAMS WON'T COME TRUE. –glares at lawyers watching my every key stroke- DAMN YOUUU…

(sorry for the ass long poem that I made. This actually happened to a friend of mine. She nearly took her own life, because one of her best friends died. Her best friend was a cat. But she told me that 'my kitty spoke to me!' and she swore she wouldn't take her own life. So, I made this poem. I hope she will read this, if she ever comes across my fan fiction. I LOVE YOU CRAZY JANE! COME VISIT ME SOMETIME IF YOU EVER READ IT, OK?!

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

I can see a kitty cat. Can you?

One day while I was walking,I saw a kitty cat

I dragged my mother over to it, And asked her

"What's that?", She told unto me

"It's a kitty, ya see"

"Is it lost? Can I keep it?"

She answered with a "Your gonna clean it."

As I grew up, We went to special schools together

People said I was mental, But my mom said I was just very special.

I was allowed to bring my kitty, To school, any day

Cause my kitty was the only one that calmed me

When I was having a fit, or tirade

One day, When I came back home, My kitty cat was gone.

I looked for it everywhere, The couch, the chair, even the gigantic Chinese gong

But when I looked outside, what a sight it was to see

There my cat was, Dead under the willow tree.

I cried for 4 days, and 4 nights.

The last day I cried, I decided to take my own life.

But when I went to sleep, With a knife by my side

My kitty said to me, "Stay here, don't take your own life"

Ever since that day, I could never stop talking, To my friend, to my sister, not even to my cousin

I'm so glad, that I love my kitty

And I'm pretty sure, that she always

Will love

And watch over me. –Ichigo Kuronamia (true story)

O.O.O.O.O.O

"Okay…"

As of now, she was still processing things, in a state of shock. 'I wonder why Kyo never told me his secret…well of course he wouldn't…I mean…why would he tell someone like me?'

Flashback

After she woke up, she stood up. Then, she sunk down to the floor. Still confused as hell.

"DAMN IT! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO COME UP WITH AN EXCUSE IF YOU TWO TRANSFORM TO?" Kyo growled out, in his cat form.

"Don't you dare try to blame this on us, you stupid cat!"

"GO AHEAD! SAY THAT AGAIN! I DARE YA!"

"Stupid…Cat."

"WHY YOU LITTLE-"

"CUT IT OUT! BOTH OF YOU!"

Tohru was near the verge of fainting. Again. 'I never thought I would have met the zodiac again…I mean, it's been a lot of years…and…I wonder if they even remember me…I mean, probably the older adults…but…I never knew they could even transform…all I knew was that they were the zodiac…'

'And they talk to…really loudly I might add…' she sweat dropped.

"Anyway, it was too late for excuses. Might as well tell her." Shigure took a long sigh. "Tohru. I'm a dog. Yuki here, he's the rat." In response to that, Yuki climbed up on Shigure's fuzzy head. "And…that's Kyo. But don't let his temper scare you. He just has a…bit of the chip on the shoulder."

"So…this is…normal?"

Shigure coughed. "Strange choice of words, but yes, it is normal. Our family has lived with this curse for thousands of generations. We transform into one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac."

Kyo, sulking on the other side of the room, glared at Shigure.

"Sorry, including the cat." Kyo turned his head around, and continued to glare at the wall.

"Anyway, whenever our bodies are under a great deal of stress, or we are hugged by the opposite sex, we transform. But after a little while, we change back. But the things is…" poofs were heard, and Tohru scrambled to the other side of the wall. "Were naked." The males sweat dropped.

End of Flashback

"Well, now that you know our little secret, I'm sure that we must be pretty strange to you now." Shigure said 'sadly'. Although, it didn't really sound sad…

"Oh no! It's not your fault your family's cursed."

'Oh my…a family curse…but…what would they say…if they found out that I have my own curse to? What would happen if Zenaku found me…? No! I can't tell them my secret…Not until Roku's okay with it…I mean, this is his secret too… Zenaku wouldn't have a problem with it…we already know the zodiac… I guess that's why Kyo never wanted to hug me…' She thought to herself.

"Although…I'm afraid I'll have to tell Akito about this…" Yuki glared at the ground. 'Oh…I remember…Akito…I rarely saw him when Zenaku talked with him…I could only see his outline…'

"Hey Tohru?" Shigure's voice brought her out of her haze of thoughts. "Y-yes?" Shigure smiled. "Didn't you say you always loved that cat? Well what's it like? Seeing the real thing?"

Tohru turned to look at Kyo, which her eyes widened in realization. 'That's right! It's the cat from the Chinese zodiac! Like from the story!'

Shigure laughed a full blown manly laugh. Well at least, as manly as Shigure can get… "Yes, Yes, I know. But I'm afraid 'cat-life' reflexes doesn't apply to Kyo. With letting him fall into you like that and all."

"BUUUT! HE IS A CAT!" he bellowed. "More clumsier than most. Surprisingly, considering all the Marshall arts training that he's had…" With each word that spewed from Shigure's mouth, it got Kyo pissed, and wound up like a ticking bomb.

"He'd probably tell you the same thing himself. If he wasn't busy brooding out there by himself." Kyo stood up, absolutely pissed as hell. Tohru sweat dropped. 'Kyo hasn't changed very much…still has his old temper!'

"WILL YOU SHUT UP? I TOLD YOU IT'S NOT MY FAULT!" Oh dear…he was seething with rage.

"IF YOU WANNA BLAME ANYBODY, BLAME HER!"Kyo then pointed an accusing finger at Tohru. "SHE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE!"

"Well, it's a funny story how we found her-"

"YOU FOUND HER? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG INSIDE THAT SICKO HEAD OF YOURS SHIGURE?"

Oh dear…wow. She messed up. Big time…Roku was gonna kill her. Yep…blood and guts spilling everywhere if he found out that she was staying with a bunch of males…with Kyo no less…For some reason, Tohru pondered on why Roku seemed to hate Kyo so much… Tohru sweat dropped. Then laughed nervously.

"The one who doesn't belong here is you, you stupid cat. Who we allow, and don't allow is none of your business." Yuki loosened up his collar. "You're the one that doesn't belong here."

"U-U-Uh no need to fight over stupid little me! Eh he he…" she laughed nervously.

It WAS quiet for about five seconds. Kyo then screamed out…a quite nasty curse word.

He put his hands, into fists. Then GRAVITY TOOK OVER! With full force!

Then, cracked the table in half.

And of course, the table had to FLY straight into Tohru's forehead.

For some reason, her instincts YET AGAIN, needed another vacation. Usually, she would be able to avoid this kinds of things. She wasn't prepared for the impact, and it hit her square forehead. Making a bruise, then, it started to bleed red. Kyo looked surprised, by the very least.

"Oh Tohru, your bleeding!" Shigure said, glaring at Kyo. "H-H-Huh?" Tohru was soon going to start looking like a chicken without a head…

A clear (SANGO TO MIROKU SLAP!) resounding slap echoed through the house. Tohru gasped at the site. "I knew Kyo loses his temper…but to act like this…" he took out the first aid hand kit from his robes. "Somehow, I just KNEW this would come in handy!" he grinned.

"Your still as stupid as ever, and I'm going to prove it to you by giving you exactly what you want." Kyo's mouth twitched a bit. A sign that he was pissed, and annoyed. Yuki, once again, loosened his collar.

"Only this time…I'm not holding back." He smirked at Kyo, who got into a fighting stance. "OK GIRLY BOY!" he swung a kick at Yuki, who easily managed to dodge. "WAIT! STOP DON'T FIGHT!" Tohru screamed, but her plea fell onto deaf ears. Shigure pulled Tohru's face towards him, and dabbed a little fluff ball on her forehead to soak up the blood.

(I DUNNO WHAT IT IS CALLED! FORGIVE ME! )

"Now now, don't worry, it goes way farther then today. Those two throw fists of fury whenever they see each other." Meanwhile, Kyo was still trying to land a punch on Yuki, who was dodging elegantly. "Sh-Sh-Shouldn't we stop them?" Tohru remembered, when they sat under the cherry blossom tree, he was always talking about how he would beat 'the stupid rat'. She would smile and say " I know you can do it! I believe in ya, Kyo!"

"Oh don't worry." He turned his head away from Tohru, after putting on a bandage on her forehead. "It'll all be over in a second." Kyo was still trying to land punches. He did a stupid move, and kicked, leaving his right side open. Yuki used this as an advantage, and pulled his arm, so that he was up in his face. He then kicked him, and sent him flying. Which broke the fragile doors. Kyo skidded, until he stopped.

Right into a rock.

Face first, don't forget.

Yuki glared at him. "I told you I wouldn't hold back. You should have listened."

Tohru looked sick. "You guys fight worse than me and my brother in training…" she said quietly. "Y-You sent him flying…"

Shigure jumped in, looking quite please, and disappointed. "You guys…please try not to smash my house, ok?" Yuki gave a 'hmph' "I didn't mean to smash the door. He should have listened to my warning." He slowly walked back inside, and bent down to get a good look at Tohru's bruise. "Ms. Honda, your hurt."

"I-I-It's fine, really! I'm okay! Oh…but I don't think Kyo's feeling okay…"

He sighed and stood back up, straightening his back. "Don't worry. The only thing that's bruised is his ego." Kyo stood back up. Glaring daggers into the ground. His knuckles going white from holding the ground. "Well, I'm guessing your dreams of the cat are pretty much shattered, huh?" Shigure looked at her with interest. "Oh no! I wouldn't-" Kyo ran off, and Tohru held out her hands, in a pathetic way to stop him. "Say…that…" she sighed. a 'It's so weird mom…when he's with his family, it seems like a totally different person. All the girls say that he's a prince because he's cute and smart. But I didn't think he would be so noble! He never acts like this in school-'

"OH MY GOODNESS! I'M LATE! I HAVEN'T EVEN IRONED MY CLOTHES OUT, it's a good thing I washed it last night…AND OH MY GOSH, I'M GONNA BE LATE! OH GOSH ROKU IS GONNA SKIN ME ALIVE AND DIP ME IN HOT OIL IF HE FINDS OUT I'M LATE!" she ran around fretting. Then tripped over her own two feet, got up, and quickly ran upstairs. A loud bang was heard, which sounded closely to the sound of a closing or, slamming door. The two males left in the room sighed. "I better get ready too." And Yuki walked upstairs. "Ahh…what a love triangle this could turn out to be…" He gasped. "New idea for stoorryy!" he sang out.

With Roku…

"GOODNESS! FINALLY!" Roku relaxed his muscles as he packed up his things. "CYNTHIA!" a brown eagle popped out of thin air. It cawed at him and he smiled. "Nice to see you again to, Cynthia." The bird cawed again, and multiple times. Roku stared at her in shock."WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN-" Roku didn't bother trying to finish his sentence. 'Gotta get to the earth plane, Gotta get to the earth plane…' he ran through the dark hallways, pushing back multiple people. ( purposely pushing down Kei with his 'hurting stomach'. )

When he got to the tunnel that led down to earth, he took a deep breath. He was probably going to throw up…again. But who THE CRAP CARES? With that thought, and that thought only, he jumped into the tunnel, that connected Shinigami, and earth together. With a fine brown feathered friend on his heels.

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

Punching his already bleeding knuckles repeatedly on the tree. Tears streaming out of his eyes. Now, he wasn't the ones that cried. But when you lost someone like Tohru…it was hard NOT to cry.

He had found the campsite, full of boulders and rocks. " I knew I should have moved. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?" he didn't know if it was just his blurry vision, but he thought he saw a flash of orange. His big brown eyes, wandering to the tent, there he just broke down again. "Gotta go to school…for Moms and Tohru's sake." He took a big shaky breath, and hurried to change into the pair of school clothes that Roku had forced him to bring along. For 'safety precautions' as she so nicely put it. He quickly wiped his face of any tears. Men don't cry. Girls and women cry. Men don't cry. ( A.N. Not trying to be sexist here! I'm a girl too! )

He walked towards school, a big frown on his face. He couldn't face anyone. He put his hood over his head, the hood shadowing his face. The teachers told him multiple times to take it off, but why the hell should he care? He was going to jump off a cliff anyway, to follow Tohru…

"Till death do us part."

Fate loved to screw the Honda family. So of course, it went after his little sister. He sat down in class. Elated by the fact that everyone was to wrapped up in the latest 'Prince Yuki' gossip. "Yeah, and I heard, that Coco saw him naked in the boys changing room…" there was a collective of gasps heard around the room. "OH MY GOSH! FOR REAL! COCO, WHAT DID YOU SEE?" the said girl blushed.

The teacher then came in, and told everyone to get into their seats. Roku stared out the window. Today, for some odd reason, it seemed as if everyone was late. Why should he care?

"Roku? ROKU HONDA." He turned his head very slowly to face an angry teacher. "Where is the poem I told you to write?" He pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket. The teacher was surprised, by the least and growled. "I want you to read it in front of this whole class Roku! NOW!" The teacher stomped her foot impatiently. Her heels making an annoying taping noise. He sighed and stood up 'respectfully'. "You wanna hear it?" he asked the class. Some people nodded dumbly. He sighed. "Roses are red, Violets are blue, when I see Ms. Coke's ugly ass face, I think of you." There was a loud collection of snickers, and the teacher was seething. "I WANT YOU TO READ YOUR REAL POEM." He sighed and raked his hand through his hair. How he wished Tohru was beside him…smiling. He broke out into a spasm of coughs, and opened the folded piece of paper. He read aloud.

"This is my haiku. I hope you drop dead from the 'awesomeness' of my poem." He exaggerated. The teacher was getting agitated by each second going by.

Darkness is now here

Fall asleep never wake up

Goodnight forever

( THIS POEM, IS OWNED BY ME. IF YOU HAVE THE SAME POEM, IT IS A COINCEDENCE! PLEASE ASK BEFORE USING! –Ichigo Kuronamia )

He sat back down. Looking as sad as shizz. The teacher looked at him with surprise. As did the rest of the class. Roku then put his head down, and looked out into the wonderful blue skies…the wonderful days he will never share with Tohru again.

The door opened, revealing a Tohru, but since he was looking at the window, nor did he care who it was, he simply continued to look out the window. That was…until…he heard her voice. "I'M SO SO SO SORRY I AM LATE MS. COKE! I PROMISE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!" the teacher raised a 'perfect' eyebrow, and pointed at the seat beside Roku. Roku was sitting up erectly, staring at her eyes. Tohru was gonna die… and she was going to suffer. But it would be all fair once the letter arrives…

A click resounded into both of their brains.

"OH ROKU! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH! You didn't even stay long this time! For that I am glad!"

"Tohru. Why were you late. Why were there boulders. Where are you living now. I swear to goodness-"

"I'm living with the Sohmas, Roku! Oh, and I even found Kyo!"

"K-Kyo?"

"Yep!" an excited thought bubbled through her head.

"Tohru, I'm staying with you. I hope they can understand the new arrangements." For some reason, he felt the need to be polite…

"Oh, we just have to ask them, but I'm sure they'll say yes!"

"Awesome…" he grinned like a maniac.

Another click, and they had their own private thoughts once again.

Oh yes, he was going to be fined for murder…maybe more than one…

O.O.O.O.O.O.O

( IT IS STILL DAY TIME. )

As soon as Roku walked in, he threw his stuff on the side. He looked around. "Wow. This place is a dump." For some odd reason, he smelt trash…he followed that smell and sweat dropped. Tohru followed and nearly passed out. "Wow." Was all Roku could say before walking upstairs, into Yuki's room first. "Hmm…" closed the door, then walked into Tohru's room. "Mhmm…"

"I'm home." A monotone voice called out. Roku raised a brow and then stalked downstairs. He came face to face with girly face looking Prince Yuki…he took a step back. Not in fear, but in plain surprise. "Holy…fudge…" Yuki then blinked. "Um…who are you, and what are you doing in my house?" Roku shrugged. Tohru came crashing down the stairs. "WAHHHHHH" she screamed, tripping on the steps. Roku turned around, and got body slammed into Tohru. She grinned. "Thank you Roku! That was sweet!" Roku sweat dropped. 'I am so lucky I have ribs of steel…'

"I'm Roku. Brother to Tohru Honda, and the main trouble maker for the school council." Yuki's eyes widened. "You mean…that year…" he nodded. "That was me!" he grinned cockily.

Flashback

"I AM SO PISSED AND TIRED OF YOU GUYS GETTING ME DETIONTION, WHEN I DON'T EVEN DESERVE IT!" an angry Roku stalked out of the room. HE WAS LATE FOR WORK NOW! Tohru was gonna have to work double shift now. "I'M GOING TO GET YOU BACK. EVERY. . ONE OF YOU POMPOUS ASSES!" he shut the door with a force that shook half of the second floor.

Later that day, he had planted something inside the council meeting room. Rumor had it that they were having a meeting. He then hooked up a tiny camera. He walked outside, with a laptop in hand. It was a good thing that the meetings were held after school.

"Setting. 30 seconds till detonation…"

He typed quickly on the computer and grinned, turning on the camera that he had hooked inside. The school council members are talking about electing a new student president. As the one they had before, recently moved.

"5 seconds till detonation"

4

3

2

He didn't even get to say one, before he could, however, there was an explosion of screams. "hmm…guess I set it at 29 seconds instead of 30…Oh well!" he looked at their expressions from the camera.. "Stink bomb…enemies eliminated. Now, RUN LIKE HELL." And he did. Along with his handy dandy laptop! Not before catching the yell of one pissed of council member…

"DAMN YOU ROKU HONDA!"

End of Flashback

"It's a wonder how you didn't get suspended." Yuki said to no one in particular. Roku shrugged. " They didn't have any proof it was me."

Yuki sighed and walked upstairs to his room. Roku grinned like a crazy old man. "Oh I can't wait to see my love Kyo again!" he swooned, traces of *fakeness* was laced in his voice.

"Roku, are you still harboring that grudge?" Roku stuck his head in the air. "No. Just an old score we need to settle." And quickly ran up to Tohru's room. "I CALL WALL SIDE OF THE BED!" Tohru sighed.

"I guess I'll tell him tomorrow that Kyo's memories were erased…" Tohru rubbed her temples. "Oh dear…"

O.O.O.O.O.O.O

"Have you located her yet?" a deep voice bellowed.

The men bowed in the darkness. "N-No sir. We saw her in the woods, but we believe that she was not there when we triggered the landslide."

"YOU TRIGGERED A LANDSLIDE?" the men on the ground laughed nervously. "Well, ya see boss, our plan was to knock her out, and drag her here…" he said in an Australian accent. The man stood up, and backhanded all of the men kneeling on the floor.

"You WILL and SHALL find her. Hell, I'll even talk to Akito about it. Is that clear?" the men nodded quickly. "NOW LEAVE MY SIGHT, YOU USELESS DINGOS." They ran quickly to the door.

In the now silent room the man laughed crazily. "Oh Tohru…thought you could hide all those years…Now I have the scent of you in my nose, and I am ready to track you down…" he laughed. The laughter blending in with the darkness.
