"Okay! So now that my debt is cleared, I will no longer be writing this story." Crowd gasps. "GOTCHA! So now, lets get on with the disclaimer. Who wants to read it?"

"Well, Princess, if I must-"

"No, not you Tamaki."

*Puppy dog eyes* "But why?"

"You have said it so many times already and we need to give someone else a chance!"

Silence...

"Kyoya?"

"I will add yen to your debt-"

"ONTO THE NEXT!" Sigh. "Twins?"

"Do you know how many writers have asked us to say that?" Hikaru said with a yawn.

"Yeah, do we have to?" Kaoru asked.

"Fine, anyone else? Mori and Honey aren't here yet. Haruhi?"

"Sorry Tahntahn-Chan, but Arai needs me down at the shop."

*Door slams behind her*

"Here's a list of people on my phone you can call," "Sweet-" "For a price."

*Hands ten dollars to Kyoya* Haruhi's right, damn these rich people

"Let's seeee heerrreee... oh yeah!"

*Enters number*

Ring ring ring!

"Hello, is this Uryu Ishida? Yes, I need you to say something for me. Did I catch you at a bad time? Oh...Orihime...Hueco Mundo...Arrancars? Sorry to hear, but this would seriously save my butt. Yep, Kyoya is charging me for this. Oh come on! Please, for old times sake? Thank you so much! I am putting this on speaker phone."

"Tahntahn does not own any Fruits Basket or Ouran High School Host Club characters. She does not own me and only owns the characters she made and this story plot."

"Thank you Uryu! Tell Ichigo and the rest of the gang I said hi and good luck-"

*line goes off*

"Same old Uryu..."

The cool summer breeze blew into the already warm bedroom, waking Tohru up from another peaceful sleep. It was only a week ago when she had last seen Akito, and her scalp hurt from him pulling her hair and yanking her around so much, but at least she got to stay with the Sohma's. Kyo had settled down by an centimeter after what happened, not that it was much of a difference. Yuki's arm also had finally gotten better, and Shigure is back to writing again.

After getting dressed, she made her way quietly down stairs to the kitchen. It was eight am and school would be taking up if it weren't for summer vacation. It felt a strange since it was Monday and she didn't have her uniform on. The kitchen floor let out a creak as her foot landed off the last step.

No sounds came from upstairs, so she continued on into the kitchen to make some breakfast. The birds chirped on a tree branch outside while the wind blew through the trees. Getting out makings for rice, the floor creaked behind her and Shigure appeared.

"Good morning, Tohru."

"And a good morning to you." She said happily. "I hope I didn't wake you."

"No, not at all!" He came over to see what was cooking. "Rice?"

"Yep!"

"Well, keep up the good work." Then he let out a chuckle. "Although you can make any food taste good." His attitude suddenly became more dramatic. "Just to think, soon you along with everyone else will be off on your own out in the cruel world. Such a shame, the thought of being alone in this house is just too unbearable!"

"No!" She said shaking her hands frantically. "It's not like that at all, it's just-"

His eyes brightened up, "So you'll stay? It will just be you and me with the boys gone to college and all-"

BONK!

"Your so noisy in the morning." Yuki said from behind with his school bag in hand. "And leave alone." Tohru looked at him cheerfully.

"Good morning, Yuki!"

"Good morning Ms. Honda. Did you sleep well?" He asked, returning the smile. With a nod she continued to make the rice and hum along.

Shigure looked down at his bag and smiled mischievously.

"What's the bag for, Yuki?"

"It's Monday-"

"Heh, the damn rat forgot school was out." Kyo commented from behind. He had just got down the stairs and was already ready for a fight. Yuki glared at him.

"Stupid cat-"

"The rice is ready!" Tohru said to distract the group of tense, hungry boys.

They all sat down at the table to eat. It was mostly Tohru who talked, and it was all about summer break the what they should do. Kyo had no interest and Shigure's editor will be bothering him all summer. What they needed was an adventure. But Tohru was still saving money and couldn't spare any, a trip to the city would be too pricy. Tohru's eyes suddenly lit up and she giggled.

"Let's have Momiji and Haru over!" She suggested, "After all, we have that picnic later with Uoh and Hana, maybe they can tag along." Kyo sighed.

"No way in hell-"

"I think that's a great idea Tohru!" Shigure beamed, interrupting Kyo's objection. Yuki hung his head and watched Tohru run towards the phone in the living room.

Kyo was fuming mad and grabbed Shigure by the collar.

"Why don't you okay it with everyone else before making a decision?" He yelled, startling Shigure.

"Come on, you youngsters need a little fun! It would be nice to have them over for the day-"

"What if Haru goes black?" Yuki asked curiously, "Can you afford to get another door fixed?"

Pause.

"Of course I can!" He beamed.

"Why'd you have to think about it?" They asked in unison.

A couple of minutes later the door opened and the two cousins walked in. Momiji ran over to hug Tohru but was caught by Kyo right before he could grab her. Haru floated over to Yuki and politely said hello. Yuki, however, didn't return the feelings.

"Hello, Haru." He said with a bored voice, he was used to this from Haru.

"WAAAHHH!SOMEBODY!" Momiji cried, "KYO'S HITTING ME!"

"I wouldn't have to if you would shut up and stand still!" Kyo yelled back but soon let it go after seeing the hint of worry in Tohru's eyes. "Damn, how many times do we haft to tell you not to go around hugging people. Do you want to expose the curse to everyone?"

"But Tohru doesn't mind! I know she doesn't!" He said, rushing over again. Yuki swiftly caught him and looked into his eyes.

"Tohru's friends will be here soon; they'd be pretty freaked out if they saw a bunny transform into a boy."

"Yeah...okay." He said calmly. The boys sighed in relief. "BUT AFTER I WILL HUG HER GOODBYE!"

"He doesn't get it.." The boys thought in unison.

A knock came from the front door and Uoh and Hana stepped in. Tohru gasped and ran over to hug them and say hello. They already knew Haru and Momiji from school, and were very intrigued to hear that they were coming along. After everything was over, they all left to go to the less crowded park they could think of, ready for summer to start.

Once they arrived, the place was more crowded than usual, but less than the others in town. This park was also closest and had more shade. They all gathered under the big sakura tree that covered most of the open area and got out the food. It was the biggest in town, and every once in a while it would be seen on the cover of a magazine in the spring, when it's beauty shined the most. The petals from the tree fell around then as the laughter of ten somewhat kids rang through the breeze. Over by the cement wall was a bus stop, where all the citizens of the city waited. They began to eat.

Tohru froze once she saw the familiar tire marks on the sidewalk and road. It's all that was left of a crash. A terrible accident that had changed her future forever. If it wasn't for the accident, she would've been cleaning her home up while waiting for her mom to get home. Died here, she did. But that was over a year ago. Now nothing but memories of her mom remain.

"Tohru?" Hana said, gently touching her shoulder. "I'm sorry, this place was the best choice at the time. We forgot what memories it held for you."

Uoh joined in, "We can go somewhere else-"

"No!" Tohru said, "This is fine." A smile spread across her face. "It doesn't bother me at all."

Yuki sat there awkwardly, trying to think of something to say. Kyo glanced over there and shock flashed across his face. Yuki never knew what it was about Tohru or her mom that made him tense up like that, but decided that it was a stupid cat thing. Cats are foolish creature to Yuki, no matter who they are. Uoh decided to break the silence by talking about movies.

"Hey, I was online the other day. The website I was on was showing advertisements for new movies coming out in foreign countries-"

"Why would you care-"

"I was bored dumbass!" She said with her vein showing on her head. "Anyways, there is a spin off that that one game company is letting Sony do. It's a horror movie. Relax, I won't force you guys to watch it. It's called Resident Evil and it comes out soon this year."

"What's it about, Ms. Uotani?" Yuki asked politely and interested. She smiled. "It's about zombies."

"What the hell is a zombie?" Kyo asked bored. Uoh whacked his head. "You seriously need to get out more!"

"I want to see it." Haru said, a grin popping out. "I like scary movies."

"Well, a zombie is a dead body that a virus has reanimated enough to where it can move around. It still has hunger, but not like humans."

"For what then?" Yuki asked, not liking where it was going. Hana gave him a paralyzing look.

"Raw meat."

They sat there again, not knowing what to say to that. Then Momiji jumped up excitedly, and passed around thin, little pieces of paper. Tohru recognized these from last time. They were tickets to the Sohma Hot Spring. She shook her head and stared at him.

"But I have already gone once! This is too much. I couldn't take these." She said sweetly.

"But I already got two more for Uoh and Hana just in case they wanted to come." He said pouting. Hana looked at it and mumbled something to Uoh. With a nod they handed them back and apologized for being busy that next weekend. Hana was going to go somewhere with the family while Uoh had already picked her job hours and had a new boss that wouldn't let anyone go.

They said goodbye after and left the rest alone, not talking till they were out of reach.

"Why can't we go?" Uoh asked, kicking a pebble down the sidewalk. "And why did you knowingly chose this place?"

"I don't know." Hana said blankly. "All I know is that this had to be done for things to go according to planned."

"Who's plans?" She asked curiously.

"I don't know..."

*OOOHHHHHHH! CREEEPPPYYYY! But that's Hana for you. Teehee! And yeah, at the beginning, that's where I am on Bleach. I tried my best not to give anything away and honestly I am proud of myself. I would've said everything right there but had to stop myself. And the next chapter is where they meet. Well, kind of. More likely that's when they arrive at the same place. It might be written from Joceline's POV because she is the only character whose personality is still mostly unknown. So have fun and comment/share/like! I will be waiting for reviews... UNTIL THEN!
