I am happy that people reviewed! I knew that people read this story, but reviews make me uber happy! Alright, I am going to try and make a funny/happy chapter. Oh, and the songs that I have used so far are "Calling All Cars" by Senses Fail in chapter one and "It's Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace in chapter two. Now, if you didn't know the name of the songs, you can go look them up on YouTube or something so you can hear how the guitar is played and how the song is sung. I'll include this chapter's song at the bottom of the chapter. I'm also starting to put the titles of the songs in the titles of the chapters, so that'll help too…I hope…

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket or the song that is included in this chapter, just my ideas…Which aren't that great…

CHAPTER 3: MISERY BUISNESS

After much argument, Kara found herself walking behind Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki on the path down to their home.

"I still don't think this is a good idea"

Kyo mumbled to Tohru, who was humming happily as they walked.

"I don't see why it's not."
Tohru said, smiling to Kyo.

"What about the curse, Honda-san?"

Yuki said, casting a look back to Kara, who was a few feet behind the group, she was staring at the ground again.

"It was okay for me to find out, why not her?"

"Akito made an exception for you; he's normally not so forgiving. So I doubt that this girl will get the same treatment that you did!"

Kyo sighed and rubbed his temples, he was trying to keep from yelling so Kara wouldn't overhear the conversation.

As the group of four reached the house, Tohru cast a smile to Yuki and Kyo.

"I'm sure everything will be fine."

Tohru opened the door and her three friends followed.

"Shigure-san, we're home! We want you to meet someone!"

Kara looked up as a man in a kimono stepped into the hallway and smiled at her.

"This must be that someone, I presume?"

Kara bowed to the man.

"I'm Kara Shojintan; it's a pleasure to meet you."

Kara stood from her bow and the man was still smiling.

"The pleasure is mine, Kara-chan."

"Um…Shigure-san…"

Tohru chimed in.

"I was wondering if Kara could stay here…Her father just died and she has nowhere to stay…"

"My, my, what a tragedy, of course she can stay."

"That was easier than we thought."

Yuki muttered.

"Shigure is a sucker for a pretty girl."

Kyo spat.

Tohru ignored the two and ran to hug Kara.

"This is great! Come on, I'll get a room ready for you!"

Kara almost dropped her guitar as Tohru grabbed her wrist and started running down the hallway with her in tow.

I'm in the business of misery; let's take it from the top

After an afternoon of running around to get Kara's room ready, Kara found time to relax just as the sun was setting.

She sat on the roof, strumming her guitar.

Kyo climbed up onto the roof and almost stumbled over is surprise; he didn't expect to see Kara there.

"Don't you ever get tired of playing that thing?"

Kyo said as he sat down far away from Kara.

"No."

Kara let out another strum from the guitar and put it down.

Kyo noticed a picture of a man taped to the top of Kara's guitar.

"Do you miss him?"

Kyo gestured to the picture, figuring that it was probably her father.

Kara took the picture from the guitar and held in gently in her hand.

"I don't know…I am sad that he's gone, but I realized…"

Kara let out a sigh before she finished her sentence.

"He was never really with me to begin with."

Kara stared at the picture for a moment.

"He worked so late, he never answered his phone at work when I called, and when I talked to him he seemed to be off in another place. The more I think about it, the more I realize…My father was dead to me before he was dead to everyone else."

Kyo nodded and sighed.

"I know what that's like, to be alone all of the time."

The sun dipped down below the horizon before Kara spoke again.

"I don't miss him…at all; I'm just upset that he couldn't find another way out."

Kyo nodded again.

"It's hard to miss someone that was never really there in the first place…"

Kara laughed slightly.

"What's so funny?"

Kyo snapped at Kara.

"I didn't think you were that deep, Kyo Souma, I just though you were just a muscle bound idiot."

She laughed again and stood.

"Thanks for proving me wrong."

With that, Kara jumped down from the roof.

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

Kyo yelled as Kara walked into the house.

"Goodnight, Kyo-san!"

Was the only response he received from Kara.

She's got a body like an hourglass; it's ticking like a clock.

Kara arrived at school with Tohru, Yuki and Kyo the next day, feeling much better than she did the day before.

Kara waved to the three and walked over to her bench and began to tune her guitar, preparing for her daily song.

Kara couldn't help but notice three girls standing in a circle, whispering, and casting glances her way.

"That girl has become friends with the witch!"

One girl muttered.

"She must be taken down as well, right sempai?"

Another girl nodded.

"I can hear you."

Kara said and the girl jolted upright and glared at Kara.

"How dare you listen on our conversation!"

One girl, who seemed to be the oldest yelled and pointed at Kara.

"You were whispering very loudly."

Kara stated, strumming her guitar.

"Well you should keep your nose out of our business anyway!"

Kara sighed.

"Aren't you those crazy girls that surround Yuki-san all of the time?"

"We are not crazy!"

The youngest of the three yelled.

"Well…I'll tell you what."

Kara looked at the oldest girl.

"I apologize for my rude behavior and words, how about I dedicate today's song to you?"

The girls eyes flashed with happiness for a moment, Yuki would surely notice her if she was mentioned by the singing girl!

"Sure, that should make up for you blunt rudeness."

"Alright."

Kara smiled at stood on the bench.

"Good morning, everyone."

She declared with a grin.

"I would just like to say that I would like to dedicate this song to these three ladies to my right."

Kara gestured to the girls and the crowd clapped hesitantly.

Kara could tell that these girls weren't at the peak of popularity among the students.

"Everyone else must think that they're crazy as well"

Kara thought with a sigh, but her smile was placed back on her face and she started playing her guitar.

The beat was fast and fun and happy, much better than the song the day before.

The crowd started clapping to the beat as Kara began to sing.

"I'm in the business of misery

Let's take it from the top

She got a body like an hourglass; it's ticking like a clock.

It's a matter of time before we all run out

I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth."

The three girls already tell that this song was not going the way that they wanted it to go.

The oldest girl bared her teeth and clenched her fist.

This 'Kara' girl was going down.

"I waited eight long months

She finally set him free

I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me

Two weeks and we had caught on fire

She's got it out for me

But I wear the biggest smile."

The girls turned to walk away only to be stopped by Uotani and Hanajima.

"Where are you going?"

Hanajima asked.

One of the girls froze, she was still afraid of Hanajima.

"You girls have had your just desserts coming for quite some time, so we're not going to let you leave just yet."

Uotani stood with her arms crossed, looking daunting.

"Whoa, I never meant to brag,

But I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag,

To steal it all away from you now.

But, god, does it feel so good

'Cause I got hime where I want him now

And if you could then you know you would.

'Cause god it just feels so…

It just feels so good."

The crowd whistled and whooped; supporting Kara's insulting of the Yuki fan girls.

Kara laughed as the crowd kept clapping.

"Second chances, they don't ever matter, people never change.

Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change.

And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.

I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way!"

Kara jumped off of the bench and began to walk towards the girls as she sung the next verse.

"Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.

Acting as innocent as possible to get to who

They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right.

Well, I refuse! I refuse! I refuse!"

Uo smiled at Kara, she was impressed at how quickly her mood had changed.

Going from sad and depressed to happy and joking is not an easy feat, especially if you lost someone dear to you.

"Whoa, I never meant to brag,

But I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now.

But, god, does it feel so good

'Cause I got him where I want him now

And if you could then you know you would

'Cause god it just feels so…

It just feels so good."

The three girls glared at Kara, who now had a smile on her face.

How dare she insult them this way!

Kara was now very close to the girls, she was about one foot away from the oldest of the three.

The girl would've punched her in Uotani didn't grab at her arms the moment she thought about it.

"I watched his wildest dreams come true,

Not one of them involving you

Just watch my wildest dreams com true

Not one of them involving…"

As the song broke into a guitar rift, Kara turned on her heel and walked back to the bench with a happy sway in her step.

Kara just stood in front of the bench and didn't sit down; she wanted to be at eye lever with the crowd.

"Whoa, I never meant to brag,

But I got him where I want him now."

The few members of the crowd whistled as Kara stood back up onto the bench.

"Whoa, I never meant to brag,

But I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now.

But, god, does it feel so good.

'Cause I got him where I want him now

And if you could, then you know you would.

'Cause god it feels so…

It just feels so good."

As the song ended, the crowd burst into a loud and rapturous applause.

Uo and Hanajima stepped out of the girls' way and the three girls ran into the school building.

Kara bowed deeply to the crowed, thanked them, and stepped down from the bench.

Uo ran up and hugged Kara.

"I'm so proud of you!"

Kara laughed.

"Who are you, my mother?"

Uo laughed and let go of Kara.

"Do you know how popular you're going to be because of that?"

Hana sat down on the bench.

"I don't really care."

Kara sat down on the bench.

"They were being very rude and annoying; they had it coming to them."

The two girls nodded and the school bell rang.

Kara caught up with Tohru and Kyo; Yuki had to go in early for some student body thing.

Tohru hugged her and told her that she enjoyed her song.

Kyo just said that she did and good job.

Through the rest of the day, Kara was getting stopped in the hallway and in class by students who praised her.

Many of those students were boys, though.

Kara wasn't surprised by this one-sided praising, she figured that most girls were Yuki fans and had already turned on her by now.
