I can't believe that I am already typing the last chapter!! Well, first off, I would like to thank all the reviewers, and here they are:
Ichigo-2007: She's my best friend from school and has read all my stories! She has posted quite a few, herself! Check her out sometime!
The Future Mrs. Kyo Sohma: As I stated in the last chapter, she helped me with my boyfriend situation, and she posts some really great reviews!
PotoPerson: Your reviews really cheered me up! Thank you very much for reading my story! I enjoyed answering yours. Also, I love the pen name!
Kisa44: I really appreciated the help that she had posted, too! There were just so many other factors included in our relationship. She left a nice review, also!
Vaxl: Vaxl either didn't review this before, or found it late in the game. But whatever the case, the reviews gave me a good laugh! I really liked reading them.
TaraSohma: She left great reviews, and has just posted her first fanfiction along with the help of Sohma Kira. I suggest that some of you read it. She's well on her way to becoming a great author!
Pheonixral: These reviews cheered me up as well! That's right, "Burn, Rin, burn!" Thank you for being a great reviewer!
Soda's Girl: The "update soon!" girl. Lol. Thank you for being such a great reviewer. She suggested that I make another Hatori one, and that does give me an idea, actually… Maybe I could make a sequel for the other Fruits Basket characters!
Ekaki: I felt very sorry for Hatori after writing that chapter, but we all have our off-days, right? Lol. Whenever I read your pen name, I think of electricity…
Gem Of the Stars: I would like to hear your evil laughter. I love laughing evilly. Heh. Well, I liked your reviews! I hope your still reading this!
Adri123101: Eh… Your name took me a teensy while to write down. Lol. Where'd you come up with it? Well, thank you for your reviews!
Ine-Sama: Ine only reviewed the first chapter, but the review made me laugh. "HEh heh this was funny. Isn't it scary when old people try to act young by wearing skimpy clothes?! shiver" Yeah, scares me, too!
Well, that's all of them! I really do appreciate you all!
Disclaimer: Since this is the last chapter, Why not do something fun for the disclaimer?
Hyper Rabbit: It's probably good that this is over. Too many brains have been fried while reading this.
Yoshe: Yeah, well you'd better watch it. I've been having some bad luck lately, and I sure could use a lucky rabbit's foot.
Hyper Rabbit: I love your story, Yori! Hehehehe!
Yori: Whatever, doofus. Say the disclaimer before Yoshe's fantasy becomes a reality!
Hyper Rabbit: …Yori doesn't own Furuba… But if that is the case, then why doesn't she tell you that herself?!
Yori: I created you to be the one that's always being made fun of! That's why! Anyways, enjoy the story! The victim is Tohru!
Yoshe: Yeah, dumb, ditzy Tohru Honda.
Yori: Yeah, that one.

Tohru waltzed through the house, humming merrily to herself. Today was just perfect in her mind; there was nothing bad happening!
Then the phone rang. What could have been worse!?
She had been told that people were calling the Sohma's, and that they were attempting to sell them things that they really didn't want to buy, and then they gave them a hard time about it. But she ignored what she had been told and picked up the phone.
Poor, stupid Tohru.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Hello, I am looking for Yuki Sohma. I am Motoko Minagawa of the Prince Yuki Fan Club at Kaibara High. Who is this?" she snapped, hearing the female voice.
Tohru didn't know what to say. She would be killed if they knew that she was living in Yuki's house. "I- um… I'm the maid…"
Kyo walked into the livingroom. "Tohru, where are you?"
"Eep!"
Motoko gasped. "Tohru!? Is that who you are?! What kind of trick are you trying to pull, saying, "I'm the maid"? Do I really sound that dumb?"
"I- my name is Tohru, but I assure you, I am the maid, and I don't go to your school. Um… I'm only the maid here, and I have no connection to Yuki other than that!"
"Really, then how do you know that's why I'm asking, hmm?"
"Tohru!" Kyo yelled out again.
"Eh… I'll be right back." She set the phone down and went into the livingroom. "Kyo-Kun, I have a big problem! Motoko Minagawa is calling! And now she knows it's me; I tried to tell her otherwise, but I don't think that it's working…"
"…Is that because I yelled your name out?"
Tohru nodded. "Yes, actually, it is…"
Kyo stamped his foot. "Well, while I think of something, you go back and talk to her. Try to change the subject without seeming suspicious. Ask her what she called for and take a message."
Tohru nodded. "O-okay!"
She scampered out of the room, and he was left pacing. A couple minutes later she came back into the room and yelled, "I tried to change the subject, but now Motoko and Minami are coming over! What am I going to do, Kyo-Kun?!
He bit his lip. What were they supposed to do? "What did you tell her?"
"I told her that I was the maid here. She started to believe me, but then you yelled out my name!"
"…Sorry…"
"Oh, I don't blame you, but I need to hide!" she screeched. She started scurrying around the livingroom, trying to come up with ideas. It didn't seem to be helping, though.
"Wait, Tohru, I got it!" Kyo said. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the house. "We just need to make you look different- like a maid!"
"So, I have to dress up like a maid? I get that, but, how are you going to make me look like someone else?" she asked. None of this made sense.
"Well, we need to hurry. We'll worry about that at Ayame's shop!" He hated to have to go there, but Tohru's reputation was at stake. He would have to make an exception just this once. "Maybe you can borrow one of Mine's outfits…"
"Okay…"
When they reached Ayame's shop Kyo barged right in and saw Ayame standing at his mirror, singing, "Your so vain, you…" he turned and saw Kyo standing in the doorway with an out-of-breath Tohru behind him.
"What do you two want?" he smiled. "I shall wave my long slender arms and-"
Kyo grabbed him by the shirt collar. "Shut up, doofus. All we need is for you to disguise Tohru and make her look like a maid. She's about to get in trouble by some of Yuki's fan club members."
"Well, you don't have to be so violent about it…" Ayame murmured. "I would appreciate it if you wouldn't mess up my favorite outfit. Mine! Can you come in here, please?"
Tohru was shaking. What if she was really found out? She would be in so much trouble… Even with Hana and Uo there to help her, there was a chance that she would still end up getting hurt.
"What's the problem, boss?" Mine walked into the room.
"The fans of Yuki are trying to kill Tohru and she needs a disguise. Can you help her, Mine?" Ayame guffawed. He stepped away from Kyo and Tohru, and Mine pulled her frantically away from the now worried Kyo.
"Don't kill her, Mine." Kyo ordered.
"Ohoho! Of course I won't!" She said, pulling the crying Tohru behind the infamous blue curtain. "She's going to look very much different, I assure you, Kyo!"
"Yeah… Sure…"
"Well, what color, Tohru?" Mine asked her, once they were behind the curtain. She had that scary gleam in her eyes again. "I think that if we're going to disguise you, then we should use a color that's unusual for you… How about green?"
Tohru nodded. "Yeah, that'll do. Is there any way that you could change my hair to make me look different, too?"
Mine laughed. "That, and I have color contacts. I have some green ones that I haven't used. You can have them if you like."
Tohru clasped her hands in joy. "Oh, that will be great! Thank you!"
……………………………………………………………………………………………
There was a knock at the front door. Yuki was sitting in the kitchen and decided to answer it. He hoped that it wasn't the modeling agency. When he opened the door and saw his fans standing there, he was more than surprised.
"Er…"
They both blushed at the site of their beloved prince. "Pardon out intrusion, Yuki, but…" Motoko whispered. "We were invited by your maid. You don't mind, do you?" she chuckled flirtatiously. Minami rolled her eyes in jealousy.
Maid? Please tell me they don't mean Tohru… He smiled. "Er, yes, please come in. Our maid and Kyo just went out. They should be back shortly." He had no idea what was going on, but he guessed that Tohru might be in trouble, so he played along with the little scheme.
"So, how did this little invite come about?" Yuki asked.
"Oh, hehe." Minami flushed. "You see-"
"I called to ask you something, and she picked up the phone. She wanted to meet us; she really seems desperate to make a friend, you know." Motoko cut her off to tell a lie. "Does she go out often?"
"Yes, we don't keep her cooped up." He kept a plastered smile on his face. He was really thinking, For people who are obsessed with me, they really seem to think I'm an idiot. Who would really believe a story like that? They probably got suspicious and forced Tohru to invite them.
He stood up. "I'll admit, our maid does enjoy making friends." Why!?
"Uh, where are you going, Yuki?" Minami inquired.
"Huh? Oh, I just need to make a phone call really quick. There's something that I need to tell the maid."
They nodded and he left to go to the phone. He dialed Kyo's cell phone number and waited for it to ring. Kyo picked it up on the first ring. "Hello?"
"Where are you and "the maid"? The fan club girls are already here!" Yuki said in hushed tones. Yuki wanted answers very badly. "Why did you two invite them, out of curiosity?"
Kyo sighed. "She answered the phone, and she had come up with a pretty good alibi, saying that she was the maid, and then I shouted her name because I was looking for her, and now, we have guests… That's pretty much it. We're at Ayame's shop right now, trying to find Tohru a disguise."
"I wouldn't wish ya'lls fate upon anyone. You poor people." Yuki joked.
"Shut up." Kyo snapped. "Stall the fan club girls! We'll be back before too long." With that, Kyo hung up the phone, and after Yuki heard a snap, he quickly turned to his side.
There, he saw his two fans giggling with a camera in their hands. "Sorry, we just had to get a picture while we were here…" They gave more flirtatious smiles.
Yuki tried his best not to grimace. "That's… alright…" He walked towards the kitchen door. "Let's go back in here. So, Motoko. You said that you had some questions for me? What did you want to ask?" As if I really need to know…
"Oh, that!" Motoko grinned, and then her face turned gravely serious. "Is it true that you are now dating Machi Kuragi?"
"…Eh… Well, yes, I won't lie. But, I really would like it if you wouldn't bother her… She does have some anger issues, and I would hate to see anyone get hurt." He soothed. "So… Would you two like something to drink?"
"Eh-"
The door opened again, and Kyo stepped in. "We're back from our shopping." Kyo snickered. "We bought that makeup you wanted, Yuki."
"You're joking, aren't you? I would hate to have to beat your abnormally large butt in front of these two girls." Yuki seethed. "These Two Girls" wondered why Yuki was so different towards his cousin. This was a side of their prince that they had never seen before!
Kyo grumbled angrily. "Of course I was kidding, stupid. Tohru has the rest of the groceries."
Tohru walked in as if on cue, and boy, did she look different. Her eyes were green, her hair was a shiny jet-black, and she was wearing a green, lacy maid's dress. "Oh, I see that everyone is here! That's great. I bought some snacks…"
As she went to pull the groceries out of the bag, Minami and Motoko started to feel a little guilty, but the suspicion was still there. "So, your name is Tohru, right? What's your last name? I'm sure that we're all curious about this…"
"Oh, my name is Tohru Sohma… I'm closely related to Kyo and Yuki." she lied.
"…You're a Sohma? Oh… Who would've thought…? We're very sorry. It's just- we could've sworn that you were this girl from our school…" Motoko apologized.
"Oh, that's alright…" This was very out of character for Tohru, but she just wanted to try a prank… "Besides being a maid, you know, I'm also a very successful telemarketer. I sell loads of maid's outfits."
"Really, now…?" Minami grimaced.
"Yes! I've sold a lot!"
Yuki and Kyo had blank looks in their eyes, but they were both thinking, what is she thinking…?
Tohru had a good idea as to how to get them out of the house. If I'm going to pretend to be someone else, then I definitely need to act differently… Mine, I hope that your advice works… "Hehe…" She got an evil gleam in her eyes. "I would love it if you would try some on! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!" she started wiggling her fingers, reaching out to catch the fan club girls. "Come try one on."
They all stared at her in horror- especially Kyo. My girlfriend has turned psycho!
Motoko thought quickly to come up with an excuse as to why they couldn't do it. "Well, we would like to do it, but… we've overstayed our welcome… So… later, everyone!" She said shrilly.
They bolted out of the house. If they were ever scared of anyone besides Hanajima, this crazy Tohru duplicate was that person.
Kyo shook his head. "You can't seriously tell me that worked… Tohru…"
"Yes!?" She still had that wild look in her eyes, and he was now scared out of his wits. He gave a scared shriek, and she quickly apologized. "Mine told me to act that like to scare them. Sorry…"
Kyo sighed. "That's alright… Just… Don't scare me like that anymore, PLEASE."
She laughed. "Tohru Honda: Maid by day, telemarketer from hell by night!"

I enjoyed writing this very much, and I really hope that you all liked reading it! Well, that's the end, but if you all liked this, and you want me to write a sequel using Hana, Uo, and the student council, then please leave a review saying so! Even if you haven't reviewed in the past, I want more people to review if they want me to continue! Also, I will be adding a Brittany S. joke into Yuki's chapter, so keep a lookout for that, kay? I will do that the next chance that I have to get on the computer, which will probably be tomorrow. Please review, and goodbye for now! Oh, and if you like horror, my newest fanfiction is Bewitchment. It's KyoxTohru. I think that I mentioned it in an earlier chapter. For real this time, Sayonara!
