Gomenasai!! I had a small writers block for this story- plus i was workin hard on Scarred Heart and Shadow Heart- and so, this one was kind of being left out. I'll let you all read now while I go and sit in a dark corner...
Disclaimer: I dont own Fruits Basket- but I do own Kami and Elli and Kahaku and Koharu
"Ok, spill already!"
"Spill what?"
"Don't play innocent and dumb!" I blinked at her, and she fell backwards onto the bed.
"Come on- we tell each other everything- don't do this to me now sissy!" she cried and I sighed. It had been about a week since my date with Kohaku- and it had been torturing her every minute of every day knowing I wasn't telling her something.
"Fine- you want to know so bad," I said, giving in finally- she did deserve to know. She had been the one who had been there for me every day after we had moved.
"YEAH!"
"Kohaku kissed me!" As I said that- I made a run for it.
"WHAT!?" Elli exclaimed and gave chase. We were like sisters and told each other everything, so me keeping something like this from her was pretty bad.
"Get back here Kami!" she exclaimed, and when she saw Haru, she said," Grab her!" Haru stood there, blinked once- but stayed put. Elli sighed, and continued after me- but when she got outside- she saw that I had disappeared.
"Where did she go?!" Elli exclaimed, and then sighed. She would have to wait to get her hands on Kami.

I figured it would be safe to come out of hiding now- so I did. Sadly though, I hit my head pretty hard on the table I was hiding under.
"Ouch!"
"Are you alright Kami-san?" Yuki asked, walking up to me.
"I'll be fine- things like that tend to happen to me," I said, smiling, but wincing a little bit.
"You just need to be a little more careful, that's all," Yuki said, and suddenly Elli came running around the corner.
"Found you!" she exclaimed- and ran straight into Yuki. A puff of purple appeared, and Yuki disappeared in it. Elli and I both looked around- trying to find him; the smoke disappeared, and we saw his clothes lying on the floor. Staring wide eyed at them- then to each other- and back at the clothes, we slowly reached out one hand each.
"Yuki- what happened?" Shigure asked, poking his head around the corner. He saw the clothes, saw us, and realized exactly what had happened.
"Um, girls- can I have your help with something?" Shigure asked- trying to get our attention away from the clothes.
"Sure," Elli said, drawing her hand back and standing up- me on the other hand kept going. I was always curious, and nothing would stop me when my curiosity got going. Moving around some of the clothes- I saw a little grey rat sitting underneath them, with purple eyes staring up at me.
"RAT!" Elli yelled, and hid behind Shigure. I, on the other hand, rolled my eyes at Elli- and slowly, cautiously, reached out my hand. Slightly, I saw the rat look over at Shigure, and then back at me as my hand softly pet it's back. Gently, I picked it up, and held it close to me; somehow, I knew not to be frightened.
"You're cute," I said softly, and the rat looked up at me surprised.
"You really think so?" the rat asked," You're not afraid?" Now that made me slightly confused- and I looked at the rat in my hands. It had grey hair/skin whatever, and purple eyes; it had appeared in the smoke- the same smoke in which Yuki had disappeared in; and Yuki's clothes were on the floor. Putting all those things together- it all clicked.
"Yuki?" I said, astonished, and then smiled," Of course of im not afraid!"
"That's… Yuki?" I heard Elli ask, and I looked up to see her starting to slowly walk towards us.
"Yes- Elli-san and Kami-san," Yuki-rat said softly and sadly," This is me." I knew what was coming, and counted down in my head: 3…2…1.
"AH! YOU'RE SO KAWAII!" Elli shrieked, and took Yuki away from my hands, holding him herself. Then I got an idea- and without warning, I leapt from my position on the floor and hurled myself straight at Shigure. A puff of black smoke- Shigure disappeared- his clothes were left on the floor- and in his place: a black dog.
"AH!" I shrieked happily and hugged him tightly.
"Shigure-kun, I'm ba-"Tohru began walking in- and then stopped at what she saw," Um… I- um…"
"It's alright Miss. Honda," Yuki said from Elli's shoulder where he was now sitting.
"Hey- Tohru-chan?" I asked, and she looked over at me," When Kyo-kun comes in- can you do me a favor?"
"Sure!"
"Hug him, please."
"Um…okay." Not long after, an oblivious- but not for too long- Kyo walked in. He took in the scene, and just as he was about to say something, Tohru hugged him out of no where. A puff of orange smoke- Kyo disappeared- his clothes were left behind- and a cat was in his place.
"Kyo-kun is a cat!" Elli and I exclaimed at the same time, smiling.
"What the hell is going on?!" Kyo exclaimed.
"The usual," Shigure-dog said," everyday activities, me writing, Tohru coming home, and Elli-chan and Kami-chan finding out our secrets- nothing much." I noted the sarcasm in that and laughed.
"Is this why you never hug me, Yuki-kun?" I heard Elli ask, and looked over at her and Yuki.
"Yes," Yuki nodded sadly," I wanted desperately to hug you- but I knew that the curse… and well…" Yuki trailed off- his eyes glazing over. There must have been something that was bothering him- but before any of us could blink- three puffs of smoke appeared- and each guy was back in human form- with no clothes. Quickly, Elli, Tohru and I all hid our eyes and waited for them to all get dressed. This was going to be a very interesting time here- I could already feel it.
