Chapter 2

Disclaimer: Fruits Basket, Not mine.

Comments: Ok! Due to requests I have made this next chapter for all of you viewers out there who can't wait to see what happens next. Hmm, I keep getting requests for a Kyou/Tohru Pairings. This is so difficult to decide. Do what I want to do or do what the crowd wants. That might be the same thing or it might not be. Well, I guess you'll just have to read on damn it and find out!

Shigure walked down the patio as the sun rose steadily on the horizon as he sung a chorus of his favorite tunes.

Breakfast Time! Breakfast time!

All for me! Breakfast time!

He sniffed in the air as his dog senses told him that breakfast, was in fact, almost ready. He sniffed hard trying to find out what Tohru was making. It smelt allot like salmon and he knew he'd have to race Kyou knowing the fur ball would probably seize the moment with his favorite dishes and eat every crumb in sight. He sat at the table as Yuki came in laughing at a joke that Mana had obviously told him since she was walking right beside him. Her hair was down and looked allot longer then it originally did. She was laughing along with Yuki as they both sat down. Shigure smirked at the opportunity handed to him.

"My, my Yuki. You seem very happy today and you even came down at the same time Mana did. Were you up to something last night because I did hear quite a bit of noise while I was working." Shigure marveled at his lie as it at been as silent as a tomb last night and he knew full well they had done nothing.

Yuki glared coldly at him.

"You sick basterd, don't you have other things to worry about?"

Shigure laughed hysterically. "No Yuki, I have nothing better to do."

All the while Shigure and Yuki gibbered and jabbered Mana just sat and watched as Kyou came running in the dining area and into the kitchen. He must have smelt what was cooking by now…but still, now he was alone with Tohru. Soon they both came, Tohru looking cheerful I might add, out carrying treys and set them on the table. Soon everyone ate and soon the sink was filled with dishes. Kyou went to get his things ready while Tohru did the dishes. Mana came and dried them putting them away for her as they talked.

"So…you looked cheerful when you came out of the kitchen with Kyou. What were you doing huh?" Mana had a deep look of curiosity on her face now as she swiftly dried plates and bowls and things.

Tohru just smiled her goofy grin. She was way too innocent, least Mana and everyone else thought so.

"Oh nothing, we were just talking is all."

"Oh, and Tohru? I'm enrolled in your school now. Isn't that cool? I'm Not in the same class as you though since I'm a grade lower."

Tohru smiled cheerfully up at her. "Really? That's great Mana. I'm sure you'll like it there just as much as I do."

Haru picked at his ear stubbornly as he and Momiji walked down to their class when they saw Tohru talking to a younger girl who hugged her and then went into their class.

"Oh, Hi you guys." Tohru beamed happily at them as Kyou came beside her.

Haru was curious about this new girl.

"Hey Tohru, who was she?"

"Oh! That's my little sister. She's living with us now."

Haru looked surprised and I think he started turning black.

"Wow, that's a bolt from the blue. So what's her name huh?" Haru had that smirk on whenever he was about to flirt with another lucky girl that would probably go on a date with him.

"It's Mana."

"Hmm, what a pretty name." Haru looked deep in thought."

"Your wasting your time Haru, she's already gotten a date with Yuki." Kyou laughed and shook his head some at the total shock and anger on Haru's face. Not only would he not have a date, but his first love was taken now.

"Your Joking right? This isn't some stupid Kyou prank is it?"

"No Haru" Tohru looked over at him in concern "He is taking her out this Saturday."

"Damn! I was hoping it was a joke!"

"OH! I'm sorry Haru!" Tohru moved to comfort him then the school bell rang.

A black cat sat across the hall. All it did was watch as young teens poured into their class rooms with haste.

(Saturday Morning 9 A.M.)

"Ya' damn rat! What did you do with my dot hack movies huh?"

"I didn't take them, so find them yourself stupid cat."

"Oh yeah rat boy, bring it on!" Kyou pulled up his sleeves like he'd been itching for a fight the whole time.

"No, Kyou wait!" Mana came up and right before she reached Kyou she tripped on him turning him into a cat. Her eyes widened at the sight. "Umm, what…what just happened?"

She picked Kyou up and, but her clumsy as slipped on a wet spot on a floor just as Shigure walked into the room and she bumped both him and Yuki causing them to transform as well.

"Oh…Oh my god…" She looked down at the cat, the rat and the dog in confusion. "Is this normal?" She asked herself without realizing they could still speak. Yuki looked up at her with a worried look on his rat face.

"I'm…I'm sorry Mana. I should have told you."

She turned to Yuki.

"Tell me what?"

"Well, our family carries a curse that transforms certain members into the Chinese zodiac when we hug."

"Oh, I see. Well I guess there's nothing that can be done, but where still on for the movie theater right?" She smiled cheerfully down at him as she had only examined the fact that they were cursed. She had done what Tohru had and she'd looked completely through the curse. She stared over at Kyou. "Hey Kyou…I just want to say…" Kyou looked over expecting something good too. "How come if you're a cat your so clumsy?"

"YAAAHHHHH!!!!" Kyou yelled in anger and ran out of the room and Tohru followed after him.

Meanwhile, Shigure looked in deep thought. "Well, since you know about the curse now…I'll have to tell Akito."

"Who….who's he?"

"He's sort of the head of the family if you know. It's important that I speak with him."

Both Kyou and Yuki glared at Shigure. It was bad enough that he knew about Tohru. It was also as if they had leashes on their necks and Akito held them all in his hand. The only way they could be free is if he died, Then they would probably still stick around and sniff his remains since they had no where else to go. It was all too sickening for the both of them and they were sick of the antics and the bullshit that being apart of the Sohma family had been.

They soon transformed and were naked again. Mana stared away as they got dressed. She got up to a fully dressed Yuki now and had just remembered something she wanted to ask Yuki.

"Umm, Hey Yuki?"

"Yes Little Miss Tohru?" He seemed worried about what she would say to him now.

"Can…can you call me by my first name? I'd really like it if you did since I don't like being called 'little miss' if you don't mind that is."

Yuki seemed surprised by this, but he seemed to also give a smile of relief.

"Yes…Yes Mana. I'd love t-"

He was interrupted completely as Mana quickly pressed her lips against his making him suddenly go quiet as a blush graced his cheeks. Shigure snuck away as he saw it was the right moment to do so as a malicious smirk appeared on his face.

(Meanwhile)

Shigure watched as Tohru and Kyou sat on top of the roof talking to one another. She was a big part of his life and she always knew the best things to say. Even if she was a bit naive she was still the wisest person that they would come to know. She was also the one thing that they were all not, Unselfish. Shigure wished he knew what they were saying, but soon something happened as Tohru stood up she slipped and…
