Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket. I only own my oc's.

I have a love/hate relationship with this chapter due to it's content but it is necessary to the story line. Also there will be more Fruits Basket characters in upcoming chapters. I promise.

Hayli smirked, "It's Saturday night."

Novalee let out a sigh and chuckled before changing into an orange tank top and long black skirt that reached her black converse. The two girls snuck into the garage, ignoring the limousines, Haylirain chose a sleek red porsche. "Hayli, are you sure about this?"

"Chill. Besides I already got the keys." she replied, unlocking the car doors and climbing into the drivers seat. Taking a deep breath Nova climbed in next to her sister. They were both silent until they felt they were far enough from the house, then they slipped in a C.D. Hayli had in her bag. As The Bloodhound Gang pounded through the speakers, all the girls worries from the move, their parents, and school seemed to disappear into the night.

After a while the girls saw groups of teenagers. Hayli parked the car and they got out, following the crowd into the club. The rave music was loud and everyone was letting loose. The building was filled with teenagers, flashing lights and no sense of responsibilty. "Do you think this is a good idea?" Nova asked, after seeing the way some of the girls were dancing with boys and other friends.

"Of course. It's a great idea." Hayli said, shrugging off her sisters concern and leading the way through the sea of body glitter and grinding bodies. "Besides, we totally deserve a night out with everything we have been through. Relax. Have fun. Make friends." She said with a smirk, while eyeing some boys who were really attractive, but obviously trouble

Novalee took a deep breath and inhaled too many scents to decipher any one. Hayli was right, they did deserve a night out. The girls had been through so much recently and could definitely relive some stress. Nova looked around and realized that her sister was gone. Pulling out her phone she hit the speed dial one. "Where are you?" She shrieked into the phone as soon as the rings stopped.

"Having fun. Try it." Hayli replied before hanging up. Rolling her big blue eyes, Nova resisted the urge to call back and looked around for someone she could talk to.

She was unable to spot anyone before someone blocked her path. "I haven't see you here before." It was a guy with slicked black hair and a cheesy grin. She had no interest at his attempt to gain her attention.

"Are you sure?" She asked, trying to look around him.

"I would definitely remember someone as hot as you. I really like Americans." He said, leaning towards her.

"That's nice." She replied, becoming increasingly more uncomfortable with the situation and taking a step backwards.

"So beautiful, what's your name?" He reached out, playing with a strand of her hair.

"Joe." She said flatly, looking directly into his brown eyes.

"Isn't that a guy's name?" He asked, confused.

She nodded. "I'm a female impersonator." She took this chance to walk away towards a group of comfortable looking chairs and sofas. It was basically empty due to everyone dancing, except for one girl. She had long thigh length white hair with bangs cut straight across her gray-blue eyes. She wore black leather skinny jeans, a neon purple long sleeve shirt, a black vest, and knee high black boots. She seemed as if she were concentrating very hard, staring into the crowd. "May I sit here?" Nova asked, gesturing to the chair opposite the girl. She nodded, turning her gaze to Nova."I didn't disturb you. Did I?"

"Not at all." The girl stated in a sweet voice.

"I'm Novalee."

"Shui Yin Jiang."

"Is that Chinese?"

"Yes. And you are American?"

"I am indeed. My sister and I just moved here to live with my dad and uncle."

"My parents moved here a year and a half ago. I had to come with them." The girls continued to talk, and talked some more until Novalee realized that the club had become quieter.

Looking around, she realized that most of the people had already left. "Oh no. I have to find my sister!" She exclaimed, jumping up. Shui followed her as they looked for the other redhead, which wasn't difficult.

Hayli was on a sofa surrounded by a group of misfit looking types and leaning on the lap of some guy. He had light brown hair with bangs hanging down and the back spiked up. He had light blue eyes that gleamed with mischief. He wore a black wife beater, black jeans, a gray vest and a black hat with a white skull. He had on two silver necklaces and a matching belt. There was a black dragon tattoo on his upper left arm, bandages on his left cheek and a cigarette in his mouth. He had one hand on Hayli's waist and the other one he used to remove his cigarette long enough to take a drink from a bottle. The air around the entire group reeked of smoke and alcohol. "Hey Nova!" Hayli called out, when she saw her sister.

"Hey, I think we should get going." Nova suggested, bobbing her head toward the exit.

"You made a friend!" Hayli cried out happily, noticing Shui for the first time. "I did too. This is Tenkai. He goes to our school." Hayli had turned back to the boy, staring dreamily into his face. Nova had to force herself not to gag.

"I'm gonna go, ok Nova." Shui said weakly. "Ill see you at school on Monday." They exchanged waves goodbye and Nova watched her leave, wishing that she could do the same.

"Hayli, we really need to get home." Nova said more strictly, turning her attention back to her love sick sister.

"Aww but why?" Hayli whined.

"Yeah. We want her to stay." Tenkai piped up, sneering at Nova. His friends interjecting their unwanted opinions as well.

"Well I want to go home." Novalee commented, raising her voice.

"She's stayin'." Tenkai demanded.

"Fine. But Im taking the car." Nova argued, pushing Hayli over enough to reach into her pocket. Her twin was too surprised to fight back. Nova jingled the keys in success and turned to walk out.

"Wait!" Hayli shouted. Nova looked back hoping her sister had come to her senses. "We both know you suck at driving." She paused. "Stay a while longer and then I'll take you home."

Nova watched her sister for a long moment and then around at the group of sneering faces. She wrapped her arms around herself protectively, unsure of what to do. She looked to Hayli hopeful, and then to Tenkai who blew a puff of smoke towards her like he didn't have a care in the world. "Please Hayli." Nova pleaded in desperation.

Hayli's smile faltered for just a second, then returned. "Come on Nova, just a little longer."

"I really want to go."

"Come on."

"No!" I'm going home." Nova said fiercely and turned and walked out. Completely aware of her surrounding Nova made her way to the red Porsche, climbed in and locked the doors. Sitting in the drivers seat she let out a deep sigh and rested her forehead on the steering wheel. Of course she didn't want to leave her sister, but there was no way she was going to hang around those guys. They made her skin crawl. Nova checked the time on her phone: three fifteen in the morning. It had been a long day and she was exhausted. She felt her eyes begin to sting with tears she wanted so badly to shed, but refused. Instead she took a deep breath and raised her head. A sudden knock on the drivers side window caused her heart to leap into her throat and her to leap into the passenger seat. She noticed that it was Hayli and looked around to make sure no one else was with her. Nova scooted over and unlocked the door, locking them back once Hayli was in the vehicle."I thought you weren't coming."

"You would get caught without me." Hayli said, starting the car.

Neither girl said anything else as they drove until red and blue lights flashed behind them. "Pull over." Nova ordered, her heart pounding. Hayli hesitated, but did as she was told.

"License and registration." The officer ordered as he approached the window. Hayli retrieved her license from her bag and the registration from the glove-box, handing it to the police officer. He returned shortly. "You have no warrants out for you." That was a miracle in itself. "This vehicle belongs to Ronald Ryan." He said as he shined the flashlight into the car.

"That's our uncle." Nova piped up, mustering a fake smile. The officer stopped and leaned in slowly. That's when she could smell it too. Haylirain smelled like alcohol.

"Have you been drinking?" He demanded.

"I have ingested liquids today." Hayli replied.

"Any drugs or weapons in the vehicle?"

"Kinda."

"What do you mean by 'kinda'!?" Nova shouted at her sister, as the officer called for backup. As soon as he was finished he made Hayli get out of the car and handcuffed her wrists, leaning her over the hood before he did the same to Novalee. Not long after, a female officer arrived. She searched the girls while the male officer searched the vehicle. He found a pocket knife and pepper spray in Hayli's bag while the female found a butterfly knife, a throwing dagger and shuriken on Hayli herself. On Novalee they found nothing but took both girls down to the police station. They were put in a cell by themselves, while the officers filled out paperwork.

"You can't keep us forever!" Haylirain shouted, from behind the bars. She turned to her sister who was sitting on a bench with her head hung. "Whats wrong?"

Nova raised her head, glaring at her sister in disbelief. "Did you just ask 'whats wrong'?" Hayli stuttered but was unable to answer. "We are in jail! Do you realize that? You trashed Dad's party and you got lucky that guy didn't press charges. But then you managed to talk me into helping you sneak out, steal Uncle Ronnys expensive car and then you take some alcohol from a strange guy that could have been a murderer for all we know and then get us pulled over and arrested! And you have the nerve to ask me what's wrong!" Nova shouted, now standing in front of her sister and shaking in anger.

"Quiet down in there!" an officer demanded.

Nova shook her head at Hayli in disapproval before turning and sitting back down to wallow in shame. They sat in silence for a long time, until their cell was unlocked by an officer who was accompanied by another man.

"I'm extremely disappointed in both of you. Get in the car now and I'll deal with you later." Uncle Ronny was furious, which was a rather difficult thing to accomplish. The moment before the girls followed him out the police station door, Hayli was unable to resist making pig squeals, causing Ronny to grab her arm and yank her out.

Everyone was silent the entire ride home. Novalee stared out the window, angry and ashamed that she let it all happen. She wanted so bad to take it all back, but she desperatly wanted to pretend it never happened and just go to sleep. After they parked at home and headed up the front steps Nova peeked a glance at Uncle Ronny who immediately caught her tear filled eyes with his burning ones, causing her to look away in guilt.

Once they were inside the house and headed for the stairs more words were spoken. "Damnit Hayli! Nova! What the hell were you thinking!" The girls turned toward the kitchen to see their father smoking a cigarette and filled with rage. Hayli's face softened from her glower to surprise. Neither girl said anything. "Do you realize how this could affect Ronny and my careers? I can't afford for the two of you running around doing whatever the hell you want to!"

Nova's heart sank and Hayli's filled with rage. "Yeah, it's great to be home Dad. We missed you too." she spat sarcastically.

"You're both grounded!" Their father shouted, slamming his hand on the table.

A grin split across Hayli's face. "Ha ha ha ha ha fuck you." She commented before stomping up to her bedroom and slamming the door.

Novalee looked from the door, to her father and then to her uncle. Ronny let out a sigh and in a calm, but exhausted tone told her,"We will discuss this in the morning." She trudged up to her room, changed and laid on the bed, listening to the sounds of things being broken next door. After several tears had been shed and several more minutes passed the noise dissipated and sleep finally claimed her.
