Ray: Here's the second chapter of 'Unknown'! I also forgot to mention this is before Tohru was living in that tent.

Kagome: What's with the title?

Ray: Well…it was just going to be a temporary title but the more I got thinking about it, it's perfect! Oh and 'The Love of a Bandit' will be on hiatus for a little bit. I have writer's block on it but I hope it will pass. Also, instead of Saphira falling in love with Akito, she'll fall in love with Hatori. Sorry but it would work a lot better with what I have planned. And Hatori deserves to fall in love again!

Saphira: Fine with me.

Kagome: Sounds good.

Ray: Wait a minute…aren't you supposed to be with Bankotsu?

Kagome: Let's say he's not going to be able to walk for awhile.

Saphira: I don't wanna know…

Ray: Thanks for the reviews! This chapter is dedicated to Sarenity digo17, Kagome Lady of Darkness, Ai Megami Murasaki, shadow miko, and Yumetsukihime. And anyone else I forgot that reviewed or put me/this story on alert.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket or Inuyasha. I just own the plot and some Inuyasha items…

Chapter 2

The sound of birds twittering awoke the raven-haired girl as she mumbled incoherent words. A pillow muffled the sounds as the girl tried to fall back into sweet dreams. A shrill door bell rang through the house and the girl woke up cursing. She stormed down stairs and opened the door as the ringing continued. Ripping open the door she yelled, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"

"Well, someone's not a morning person…I suspect a late night, Kagome. You should know better," came the amused voice of the Sohma doctor, Hatori.

Kagome yawned and motioned him in. "Usually I would be up earlier then this but I couldn't fall asleep," she explained tiredly as she worked on the tea. He accepted the warm cup as Kagome bustled around, making her breakfast. He looked around the small kitchen until Kagome's voice snapped him back.

"So, what are the people like? I mean, the ones I'm staying with," she groggily asked. Hatori took a sip of tea and looked like he was thinking.

"Shigure, the owner, he's a perverted idiot and the dog of the zodiac. Kyo is short-tempered and rude because he's the cat. And Yuki is nice and polite but he can be a fighter. You won't have to deal with Kyo because he's dissappeared. And I hope you can cook because Yuki and Shigure are horrible cooks. The house is also a mess so be careful." Kagome nodded and quickly ate her breakfast.

"Let me get a bath and get dressed, then we can go." She ran upstairs and quickly showered. She threw on a purple t-shirt, black cargo pants, and black etnies. When she came back down, her bags were already in the car. Kagome grabbed her coat and the keys and headed towards the car. She slid into the back seat and leaned back. She dozed off as they drove. The modern buildings gave way to forest scenery as the car steadily moved forward, going deeper into the woods. The car stopped in front of the fuedal-styled house. Kagome was shoken awake by Hatori and she stumbled out.

"Ha-chan! It's been awhile, hasn't it?" called out a voice from the house. The shoji door opened and a guy in a tan robe walked out. He had black hair and black eyes and looked to be in his late 20s. That's when he noticed Kagome. "Oh and who is this lovely flower? I'm Shigure, the owner of the house. And may I say you have a-" Before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked into the yard.

"Shigure, don't even finish that sentence. I'm Yuki, Shigure's younger cousin. And don't worry about him, he's practically harmless," said the boy now identified as Yuki. He was tall and lithe with purplish-gray hair and amethyst eyes that would make any normal girl melt. Thing is, Kagome's FAR from normal so she just smiled and waved.

"I'm Kagome, It's nice to meet you both." She mentally remembered that Yuki was the rat while Shigure was the dog. Hatori stood by her side and said, "I'm going to go now. Your bags are already in the house so until next time, Kagome." He then walked to the car and drove off. Shigure waved to the car before turning around to face Kagome.

"Well, Kagome, seems you're our new occupant. I hope you like it here. Yuki, can you show her the room she's staying in?" Yuki nodded and said, "Follow me, Miss Kagome."

"Okay but do me a favor and just call me Kagome, alright?" she said as she followed him up the stairs. He nodded and went into a room. It was a little dusty but Yuki apologized as he threw open the window. Kagome waved him off as she studied the room. The walls were a light green color while the floor had dark green carpeting. The room was bare except for a small closet with a rolled up futon and hangers.

"It's a little small and bare but it's better than I thought it would be. Thanks, Yuki." As he went to reply, a huge crashing from the roof sounded and dust filled the room.

"Yo! Hope you're ready to pay the piper, rat boy! I'm here to collect!" came a deep voice from the reckage. He had orange hair with a black t-shirt and tan cargo pants with bare feet.

Yuki turned and said, "Funny, I'd thought he'd send someone bigger."

The kid snarled and said, " Oh yeah! Better get that tough talk out of the way cause I'm about to wipe that smirk right off your face!!" He lunged at Yuki with incredible speed, fist raised. Acting on pure implush, Kagome reached out and latched on it his arm while saying, "Stop fighting!" They went tumbling down on the ground, Kagome falling on the boy. He shouldered most of the fall but stiffened as she continued to hold his arm. Yuki and the boy were confused. Kagome was knocked out, oblivious to the conversation that was about to take place...

Ray: So sorry for not having this out sooner. But I did say it wouldn't be updated regularly. Anyways, reviews are appreciated but not needed.
