Fruits Basket: The Zodiac Curse
KyouxKagura

Chapter Thirteen

I do not own Fruits Basket, or the characters you all know and love, but I do own Hârâ, Shane and Haruna.

I am sorry that I have neglected this fiction but I have finally had an idea for it! Yay! But well you’ll have to wait to find out what the idea is, it may be quite unexpected though… but do you expect anything else from me? – KyouxKagura

Hârâ looked to Shane with a pleading look, was she asking too much from the Gemini male? She didn’t really know but again it was almost as if he was trying to get out of this, he owed this from when she loaned him that money and said he didn’t have to pay her back, not like he actually would.
“Please, I know it may seem weird but there is no one else I can ask.” Hârâ moaned at her cousin. She was asking him to go on a trial date with her because Hatsuharu had asked her out and she was nervous as anything.
“Well how about a guy from school?” She shook her head; they were all jerks but Haru. She didn’t want to have to deal with them when Shane wouldn’t do anything stupid… or well he may do something embarrassing to her though. “Fine okay only one and its going to be to the movies and if you do anything embarrassing I’ll hit you.” Hârâ laughed as she hugged Shane for finally agreeing. Hârâ had to go to school so she collected herself slightly and rushed out of the room or else she’d be late, let’s hope she’d be able to catch up with Tohru, Kyo and Yuki. Thankfully for them Haru and Momiji had come earlier and picked up Kisa for middle school, though Hârâ was all set for taking the tora herself.

Haruna came into the room:
“You didn’t just agree to going out on a trial date with her did you?” Yep, the female Gemini was good at eavesdropping. “You know that you’ll end up falling for her again.” It wasn’t the first time that Shane had found himself in love with his younger cousin. “Or have you already?” Shane just ignored his twin sister as he walked right past her. There was nothing to talk about; she had no right over his love life. Even if they were twins – he had never said anything about the guys she dated… and at least he could hold Hârâ without turning into a swan. He turned into a white swan and Haruna turned into a black swan when hugged by members of the opposite sex and that if is the other person isn’t cursed by either of the zodiacs. Shane hoped that Haruna would keep her mouth shut for now though. It was too much at times having a twin sister like her though she was good enough to listen if he had a problem so she had to be nice to her. Haruna stood there, the sun beaming on her tanned skin as her white hair was up in a high ponytail, this time she had curled her pale locks. She had to remember to tell Hârâ about looking out for Shane.

“Are you really going on a date with, Hârâ?” Shigure asked, though he had to complain about Haru not going to school that day. “What about Rin?” Haru looked away slightly; Rin had dumped him, even after he helped her after Akito cut her hair. She said that she had went through enough pain and that she didn’t need him, to be honest Haru knew that she was only protecting him and still loved him but he wasn’t going to let the opportunity of going out with Hârâ go down the drain because Rin was being stuck up at that moment.
“She doesn’t matter after she dumped me.” That he struggled to say. “Though Hârâ’s an alright girl. I think we’ll get along.” He told him as he looked outside the dojo styled house, the view of the woods was quite nice actually. That and at least Hârâ wouldn’t transform him into his ox form and she wouldn’t make fun of him about being slow or being an idiot.
“She probably didn’t mean it when she dumped you.” Shigure spoke. Shigure knew Rin well and knew how much she cared for the domino haired male. “She’s still staying at Kazuma’s; you could always go and see her.” Yet going to see Rin could complicate things. “Kagura-san has gone to stay with her so she’d have company as Kazuma is going away for a while to see another master about some new techniques.” Not that Kazuma needed any new techniques. Haru told Shigure that he’d give it a think before he made up his mind about Hârâ.

Kagura lay on her bed; she had just changed the sheets from her orange coloured bedding to her white and pink bedding which had kittens on it, though they weren’t orange. She had taken Kyou’s advice, he didn’t like the way she used his orange colour everywhere, including her room which was completely orange with many of the teddies of him which she had made herself. She knew it would change her drastically but it was worth it, for Kyou to be her boyfriend. She was surprised at her mother’s reaction the night before but she just brushed it off. She loved Kyou and would do anything to be with him, even do something like this. She looked to her room, it was still orange but her mother was going to help her redecorate it, she thought a nice blue colour would brighten it up a little. She knew she could do something special to her room but for now she would just write in her diary about Kyou and how she loved him. She must have had over twenty pages of his name only. ‘Kyou, Kyou, Kyou, Kyou’ She wondered though if Kyou would ask her to marry her one day, she’d love that.

“KAGURA! It’s the phone!” She heard her mother yell up to her. Kagura nodded as she raced down towards where her mother held the phone for her. She answered it and of course it was him… she smiled to herself.
“Moshi-moshi Kyou-kun.” She smiled. “How are you? That’s good. What? Sure of course I will. The party is tomorrow? You mean you’ve actually been officially asked to go? That’s great! I can’t wait now! I’ll see you soon.” She put the phone down. So Kyou was going to go to the after party with the rest of the zodiac. It seemed somehow Akito had changed his mind… why though? What was the catch?
