DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKET. ido own Kiki:D

Me: Hah...so I guess you've noticed I haven't updated in about a month.. I actually do have a good excuse...

Kiki: If you call your parents dying and now living with your aunt who doesn't give a shit about you a good excuse...

Me: Well yeah, you heard right, MY PARENTALS ARE DEAD. So I'd call that a good reason, they had to put me in therapy and all this other shit. BUT, now I'll be trying to get back to my old cheery self.

Kiki: She'll update at least once a week!

Me: That I will, that I will. Anyway please don't hate me! I love you all! LET'S GO TO THE STORY!

Chapter 6

(/^.^)/ IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME, PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME! (/^.^)/

I threw my covers off and trudged to the bathroom. After brushing my teeth and taking a quick shower I went to my room.

"Kiki, can you braid my hair?" Tohru asks me, she was already dressed in a blue sun dress.

"Sure, let me get dressed first." I say, changing into some jean shorts and a dark red tank top. All my clothes are kind of old so the jeans were faded and the tank was a bit too small and rode up a little, showing the bottom of my stomach, below my belly button.

"Come here." I say to Tohru, patting the spot on the bed next to me. I separated her hair into two braids and put them on either side of her head.

"Your hairs getting long Tohru, are you going to get a trim soon?" I ask her, tying the band around the end of the braid.

"I don't know; it never came to mind." Tohru says, playing with her braids. I shrug.

"I think I might dye my hair again, maybe something wild, like purple or blue!" I say, playing with my short black hair.

"That'd be nice!" Tohru says, smiling.

(/^.^)/ Slice, slice, slice you up! I'm a monster! ha-ha-ha!(/^.^)/

I heard some rumbling outside while I was serving breakfast. I wasn't hallucinating because Tohru, Shigure and Yuki all looked too.

"What was that?" I ask, looking outside.

"It sounds like her." Yuki says.

"It sounds like she's here early." Shigure says, sipping his tea.

"Ah!" Kyo says with a terrified face on.

"I didn't know we were having company." Tohru says.

Kyo tries to run into the kitchen but Shigure caught the back of his shirt.

"Uh-uh, not so fast Kyo!" Shigure says.

"Tohru can you go answer the door, I'm going to wash the pots and pans." I say, smiling as she left.

"Kiki, you must be really comfortable serving food huh? You are quite good at it, though I do like it when you have the cat outfit on. So, that's why I went out of my way to get you this costume!" Shigure says, holding up a French maid costume.

".dreams." I say, venomously, he shrinks away and crawls into a depressing corner. Of course, not before Kyo and Yuki both beat his face in for suggesting I wear something of that nature and called him a 'sick person'.

I chuckled lightly, and then saw a girl with short brown hair; she had to be about 15, maybe.

"Kyo?" she says, with sparkling gray eyes.

"Kagura!" Kyo says, scared. It would have been a cute little scene if Kyo hadn't messed it up with his little attitude. Considering she looked like a little girl in love, I could only guess.

"I don't believe it! It's really you! Kyo! Kyo!" she says dreamily, before running (in slow motion) towards Kyo, who was still being held by Shigure.

"Kyo! Why did you run away for so long? You didn't even call me or send a card. Where were you? Oh darling, I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Kagura says, punching Kyo in the face. For about a second I just stared at Kagura beating Kyo to a pulp, before I started to laugh hysterically.

"Oh my god! That's amazing! She's awesome! Oh my- can't breathe- too much!" I say between fits of laughter.

"We just fixed that door." Yuki says, looking to where Kagura just THREW Kyo out of. He landed in the backyard, Kagura still on his tail.

"Sometimes it feels the whole world is conspiring to ruin my house." Shigure says, with 'fake' hurt.

"I'm sorry, excuse me?" Tohru says, still in shock that Kyo just got thrown out a door by a little girl.

"Oh I'm sorry, this is a regular thing, and it's how Kagura shows she loves Kyo."

"This is regular? Oh my god, how long is she staying?" I say, grinning evily.

Turns out, he doesn't really know how long and she's 2 years OLDER than us! Oh and she's part of the zodiac, though I kind of already guessed that.

"Oh! That's great, what animal is she?" Tohru asks, excited.

"I figured that would have been obvious at this point." Shigure says, still sipping his tea.

"Not for Tohru, I'm the scholar of the family, and have you seen my grades? They're not exceptional, but have you seen hers?" I ask, knowing good and well that Tohru could be a bit dense. I mean, let's think

Clue one: She attacks straight on.

Clue two: She has a deceiving outside. (Looks cute and adorable but is really viscous and strong)

Clue three: She gets easily carried away.

Not that hard, here are the options:

1. The Rat

2. The Ox

3. The Tiger

4. The Rabbit

5. The Dragon

6. The Snake

7. The Horse

8. The Sheep

9. The Monkey

10. The Rooster

11. The Dog

12. The Boar

Now, who can it be? I crossed out the people we already know who it is and who are not ill tempered.

So she's a horse, ox, boar, or a tiger. She attacks straight on so that again narrows it down to only an ox and a boar. An ox is a guy...WHO COULD SHE BE?

"Kyo, darling what happened? You're all hurt! Oh no, speak to me, who did this to you?" Kagura yells cradling Kyo's head.

"Um… you I think..." Shigure says.

*Sweat drop*

(/-.-)/ I've been waiting all this time, and now I've found you (/-.-)/

Here we are, sitting in silence, which is until Tohru sneezes.

"It is a bit chilly in here."Yuki says.

"Yes, I noticed that too." Shigure says, nodding. I looked at the gaping hole that Kagura made then back at her.

"I-I'm sorry, but when I say Kyo I just got so happy, all my love just came out at once. I couldn't help it." Kagura says shyly, she's like a completely different person…

"But it is really your fault too Kyo, if you just would have remembered to call me, I wouldn't have missed you so hard." Kagura says, her hand intertwined together and held up to her chest.

I handed Kyo another ice pack, since the one he had on his face was melting.

"Who says I forgot to call, maybe I just didn't want to?" Kyo asks bitterly.

"Oh silly, yes you did! We are getting married after all!" Kagura says, a pink flowery aura surrounding her.

-Kyo's getting married? - I thought to myself

"Since when?" Kyo says, getting up cat ears and all. I smiled widely along with Tor (a.n her nick name for tohru!)

"Oh silly, don't you remember? When we were kids, you asked me to marry you!" Kagura says, smiling.

"Only because you were going to kill me if I didn't!" Kyo says, disgusted with the idea.

"Oh so the two of you are engaged, that's wonderful!" Tohru says.

"Yeah, when's the big day?" I ask, my sentence full of sarcasm. I'm honestly getting a kick out of this.

"At least now he'll have someone else to fight instead of me." Yuki says, still eating the little vegetable plate I set out as a snack.

"Yes, congratulations Kyo." Shigure says in monotone.

"Huh? You guys!" Kyo says angerly towards us.

"We really do make the best couple since we're both members of the zodiac. Well Kyo's not an official member of the zodiac but he's still cursed so it's almost the same. We can still understand each other in a way no one else can. And that's good, but the best thing is that we get to hug each other all we want and we don't transform!" Kagura says, latching on to Kyo, while he trys to get out of her (I guess) iron grasp.

"I can't believe it! Kyo didn't turn into a cat!" Tohru says, amazed. Kagura then hugged an uncomfortable Yuki.

"See? We can hug anyone of the zodiac, without changing." She says.

"Why is that?" I ask, intrigued.

"It's a mystery to us too." Yuki says, not at all returning the hug, but just standing there, indifferently.

"Though we've seen it enough to know it isn't just a fluke with Kagura. She's one of a kind granted, but still not the only girl in the zodiac." Shigure says, whilst Kagura finally let go of Yuki.

"Really, they're more girls? Do you think I'll get to meet them some day?" Tohru asks, hopeful.

"KYYOOO! You have to be honest and tell me, do you love me, do you hate me? Because I love you I do, more than anything else in the whole wide world! I'll prove it, I'll cook for you every day, and I'll do anything for you! Even if you cheat on me, I can forgive a onetime fling! No one else loves you this much do they? No just me! We should always be together, don't you think? I just told you what you think, now say something dammit!" Kagura says, clutching Kyo's shirt at the last sentence.

"Ah, this pains my heart, but moving on. Kiki, correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you some type of cat lover yourself?" Shigure asks me.

"That's me, the year of the cat fan club." I say, shrugging, not noticing he just set me up till it was too late.

"Rival! But I'm not going to lose! Kiki, what do you like best about Kyo, because I like everything!" Kagura says, quite angry.

"Hey." Kyo says, getting aggravated.

"The good things, the bad things, I like them all! I love Kyo no matter what, even if he changes into his other form-!" Kagura says, right before Kyo clamps his hand over her mouth.

-Other form- I think to myself, wondering what she meant.

"Shut your mouth right now, one more word and I'll-" Kyo starts, looking like a legit killer, tha is before Kagura got all Kagura and got him in a choke hold.

"And you'll what?" she asks, threateningly.

"You should really call mercy Kyo." Yuki says, not really caring, standing next to me.

"Oh, I almost forgot about the laundry!" Tohru says, looking down the hall to the washing room. I headed down the hall with her; I figured I can keep her company, as much fun as it is seeing Kyo getting beat up, I'd rather do something productive. Tohru started to unload Yuki's clothes from the washer, while I put Kyo's in.

"It's too bad I didn't get a chance to hear which zodiac animal Kagura is. Oh well, who knows, maybe I can ask her myself one day. I do hope the two of us get to be friends, don't you think Kiki?" Tohru ask, wringing out a white button down shirt.

"Yeah I gue-" I start, before getting interrupted.

"That's not Kyo's shirt is it?" Kagura asks, creeping near the doorway.

"I-I-I didn't s-see you there!" Tohru says, practically frozen.

"So IS that Kyo's shirt?" Kagura says, hopeful.

"No, not yet, these are Yuki's clothes. Kiki's doing Kyo's right now." Tohru says.

"Way to throw me under the bus Tor…" I mumble.

"What?" Kagura asks, satanically.

"Would you like to do Kyo's clothes Kagura, you could take it as practice for when you do get married. I sure hope you and Kyo get a big ol' house and live happy. After all, you are the perfect couple." I say, not wanting to get beat up by this girl. She seemed to buy it, running out and trying to strip Kyo.

I took a black shirt and cargo pants from the pile and snuck it out of the room. If Kagura messed this up, I didn't want Kyo running around naked until it was done.

"For safety precautions, you understand." I say to Tohru, she nodded before I ran up to my room, stashing Kyo's clothes under my bed. I grabbed my purse and slipped on black bow flats.

"Are you still going out to shop for dinner?" Yuki asks, looking at my bag clung around my shoulders.

"Yeah, I really need more now that Kagura's staying for dinner." I say.

"I'll come with you." Yuki offers.

"Oh, sure." I say.

Most of the walk was pretty silent, I tried to kick a rock but completely missed which made Yuki crack a smile.

"Hey, that's so not funny!" I say, nudging him in the shoulder.

"So, are you going to tell me? What's your real reason, for giving out your number the other day?" Yuki asks, looking over at me.

"Oh, you mean to Conner? Yeah, they're shooting a music video and wanted me to play a dancing part I guess. So I needed to give them my number so they could contact me." I say, chuckling at the fact that they assumed it was a date.

"Oh, that makes sense, I didn't know you danced." Yuki says.

"Yeah, well I'm just one big mystery aren't I?" I say, putting soy sauce in the basket. (Yes during their convo they made it to the super market)

"Yes, you could say that." Yuki says, looking at my list and grabbing stuff off the shelves.

We made small talk the whole way home, laughing at the stupidest things, all in all I think Yuki is finally warming up to me.

(/-.-)/ INSERT LYRICS HERE (/-.-)/

"Oh my god…" I say, looking at the kitchen. Shigure filled me in, saying there was a small fire and he had used the fire extinguisher, on just about everything.

"I can help you, I'm not that good but I can lend you a hand." I say, grabbing a towel.

"No! I made the mess, I'll clean it up." Kagura says, scrubbing.

"O-okay…" I say, feeling bad for leaving her there.

Tohru came downstairs and sighed.

"She wouldn't let me help either." Tor says, we all went to sit down at the table while Kagura cleaned.

"Man, and I was so looking forward to another of Kiki's amazing home cooked meals. I guess we'll have to grit our teeth and order take out." Shigure says.

"So, where'd the other home-wreaker go?" Yuki says, coldly.

Shigure laughed nervously and pointed up. I guess Kyo's on the roof.

"He's still busy sulking I think, we'd be better off just letting him cool down for a while." Shigure says, shrugging. I nodded and Tohru just stared up at the ceiling.

(/-.-)/ I NEED LYRICS, PLEASE REVIEW WITH SOME (/-.-)/

"So full…" I say, throwing myself on the floor. Everyone made noises of agreement.

"What about Kyo and Kagura, we don't want theirs to get cold." I say, looking at the two boxes.

"Do I want to try Kyo yet? No, I don't. I think the kitchen might be safe though.

-Shigure went inside the kitchen while everyone else just waited around, Yuki excused himself to go to bed-

"Shigure YOU PERV- YOU PERV AHAHAHA!" Kagura says, laughing while hitting Shigure. I shake my head.

"Whatever, I'm going to bed, night Tohru." I say, getting up and going upstairs. I took a look at my window while I was climbing into bed.

"Should I do it?" I ask myself quietly. I sigh and curse my conscience. I climbed out of the window and noticed he was asleep. I climbed back down and say Tor.

"Is Kyo up there still?" she asks, holding up some rice balls.

"Yeah, he is." I say.

"Can you give these to him, he still hasn't ate and I'm tired. I was going to give it to him, but don't know if I can without falling to sleep!" she says, handing them to me when I nod.

I climb back out the window, careful not to fall. Indeed, Kyo was still where I left him. He was facing the other way , so I figured I should have some fun. I carefully put the rice balls down and snuck up behind him, not making a sound.

"Kyo-Kyo!" I yell in him ear.

"Huh! What? What happened?" He says, jumping up. He glared at me when he realized it was just me.

"What is the matter with you?" he says.

"A lot of things…lots and lots of things…So are you going to stay up here all night?" I answer, smiling.

"Is Kagura still here, then yes!" he says, throwing his hands up in the air (sometimes saying ah-o gotta let go...Sorry)

"She's not that bad, she just cares for you. Is that really such a bad thing?" I say, nudging him with my shoulder.

"She just always mentions this marriage crap! It's like she really thinks we're together." Kyo says, shaking his head.

"I don't know, it's just her way of showing it." I say.

"Yeah." He says, sitting Indian style.

"So what was is like, in the mountains?" I ask. Kyo went into this whole rant about his master, which made me smile, at least he was passionate.

"-this must seem kind of boring to a person like you." He says, embarrassed.

"What? A person like me? What's that supposed to mean, I know how to fight!" I say, pouting.

"You, fighting?" Kyo says, amused.

"Yeah me! I take ballet!" I say, looking back at what I just said, it didn't really sound intimidating.

"What does dancing got to do with anything?" Kyo asks, befuddled (;3 freaking amazing word)

"Do you know how much strength that takes?" I ask.

"Dancing can't be that hard." Kyo says, laughing under his breath.

"You're on buddy! We'll fight and see who's the prancy boy..or girl" I say, laughing.

"We'll see alright!" Kyo answers. We both burst out laughing at this point, I tried to supprese a yawn but I couldn't help it.

"You should go to sleep." Kyo says, laying down.

"Yeah, I'll see you in the morning, don't fall off the roof!" I say before going inside the window. I did a double take at the bed and grabbed one of the extra pillows and threw it up to the roof, knowing even with his poor skills, he's be able to catch that.

"Goodnight." I whisper climbing into bed and letting sleep consume me.

(/^.^)/ I NEED SOME LYRICS, TODAY! (/^.^)/

"Kyooo! Darling, good bye my love!" Kagura says, hugging Kyo from behind.

It seems that Tor had a talk with Kagura last night and she now doesn't hate me, thank god for that one.

"Be nice or I won't kiss you goodbye!" Kagura says, to a struggling Kyo.

"Who needs it?" He answers, why he can't just go along with it for one day. I think, walking down the stairs, walking towards the door to get the newspaper.

"Kyo you meanie! I'm leaving you forever!" Kagura starts to rant, running out the door.

"Hello, it is me, your ever reliable paper boy, here to deliver the news of the day!" the newspaper boy starts, before getting ran over by Kagura. Which I guess caused way too much physical contact and a puff of yellow smoke went up. I rushed over before he could see anything and talked him down to the floor. Yuki came quickly and covered up Kagura as a boar.

"Hi there!" the newspaper boy says to me, winking. I push myself off of him but he keeps me firmly on top of him.

"Ugh, get off of me you weirdo!" I say, bringing my knee up and crashing up on top of the place that shall not be named. He grunted loudly and let go, running straight out of here.

I brushed myself off and pointed towards Kagura.

"You owe me one." I say, rubbing my head.

"Oh look, I figured out Kagura's zodiac animal, she's a boar!" Tohru says, holding up Kagura.

"I think that's cheating…" Shigure says, sweat dropping.

"Kiki, I'm sorry, I see now that you're not a rival." Kagura says apologetically towards me.

"No problem, I think whoever you end up with is going to have a hell of a time. A good time, but a hell of one" I say, grinning. She looked awe-struck. She then climbed on Kyo's back.

"I don't know what to say!" Kagura says, before she changed back into a human

"Put on some clothes!" Kyo says, throwing her off.

(/-.-)/gasdiughadkfgh (/-.-)/

"Bye Kyo, I love you, I'll bring you a new shirt next time!" Kagura says waving at us.

"Bye!" Tohru says, waving back. I nodded to her, fixing my school bag.

I started to head to school with Kyo, Tohru and Yuki trailing behind, talking about strawberries.

I sighed contently. So this might be a crazy group, but I wouldn't give them up at all.

I have a mission:

I'll find out Kyo's and Yuki's favorite foods, activities and try to know them a bit better. I snuck a look at Tohru and she was smiling. I really hope we can stay like this for a bit.
