Hello, and welcome back, folks! I have had serious writer's block with this story, and I am so sorry I kept you waiting! Panda-Chan21, this chappie has your requested "What if. . ." question! On Soaring Wings, I'm working on how to answer your "What if. . ." question in my head. Pixie-stix-rock, I will also try my best to answer your "What if. . ." question. The next question is, "What if Shigure hit his head and his personality completely changed?" Continue to the story!

Disclaimer: I won't own Fruits Basket until I can get my hands on a device that will let me live in any anime dimension that I wish. When I do own such a device, I will enjoy the worlds of Fruits Basket, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Naruto. That won't be happening anytime soon, though.

-WARNING! MAJOR OOC-NESS TO FOLLOW, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE QUESTION, BUT ALSO FOR HUMOR PURPOSES-

It was late in the afternoon with many white and fluffy clouds covering the sky.(A/N:Isn't it funny how I always start with weather descriptions?) The sun was setting in the distance, turning the sky orange, and speaking of orange, Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru all happened to be walking home at this exact moment. (A/N: I bet you thought that I was just going to keep talking about the weather, huh? No, I must continue the story, so onward!)

As they neared the loud, eventful place they called home, Yuki and Kyo were once again having a stupid and pointless arguement. Let's listen, shall we?

"Fish."

"Cheese."

"Fish!"

"Cheese!"

"FISH!!"

"CHEESE!!"

As the two debaters entered their house, Shigure managed to hear the shouting coming from them. He asked his female friend, "Tohru-kun, what are Yuki-kun and Kyo-chan fighting about now?"

Tohru walked into Shigure's office, greeted him, and replied, "I'm not sure, Shigure-san. I think it's something about if cheese or fish is better."

Shigure burst into laughter hearing this. For about two seconds, even the young Sohma gentlemen stopped their fighting and stared at him with odd looks. After Shigure recovered from his laughter, he said, "That is the most idiotic fight yet!" (A/N: I'll say it is, and I can't believe I thought of this! I seriously think I'm becoming stranger and stranger as the days go by. I thank my friends and fanfiction for this. You guys rock! Now, where was I? . . . Oh, yeah! Shigure had just finished his laughing fit. Well, anyhoo, moving on!)

About two milli-seconds passed before the pointless arguement continued going strong. It was continued by kitty boy, who said, "Come on, Shigure! Even you have to agree that fish is much better than cheese!"

Before Shigure could even open his mouth, Yuki replied, "That is not true! Not only is cheese better for you than fish, but it has a better taste, too."

"You're crazy, you damn rat! Fish is way better than cheese, and I can prove it! Fish builds your muscles so you can have the strength to break bones, so FISH IS BETTER!!"

"That may be, you stupid cat, but cheese contains calcium. Calcium builds strength in bones, so strong muscles are completely useless. That makes CHEESE BETTER!!"

"I SAY FISH IS BETTER, SO FISH!!!"

"CHEESE!!!"

"FISH!!!"

"CHEESE!!!"

They continued screaming in each others' faces for about two minutes, but then Shigure made the mistake of intervening. He said casually, "I can't believe you two are fighting over something so ridiculous, and only to get Tohru-kun to like you more. For shame, gentlemen. For shame. . ."

The two so-called 'gentlemen' twitched and turned their heads towards Shigure. They were so mad that if they were bombs, they would have already exploded. (A/N: Wow, that line was so corny!)

They stared at him evily for about a billi-second. Then they both charged at him with the intent to kill in their eyes.

"SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU STUPID F---ING DOG!!!" They both shouted in unison. (A/N: Whoa. I'm actually making them agree on something. That's when you know they are OOC. Anyhoo, moving on!)

That was when Kyo made his move. He attempted to punch Shigure right in the face, only to have the dog step backwards and mock him by saying in a sing-songy voice, "You missed me! You missed me!" At his second attempt, though, Shigure stepped back and tripped over his chair. He fell to the floor with a very hard 'thud' and bonked his head against the bookshelf. This caused a chain reaction which resulted in several books falling and landing on his head one by one. (A/N: Now, I'm going to count to three, and when I say go, say 'Oh! That's gotta hurt!' Ready? Three, two, one, go! -shouts the sentence I refuse to write again- Okay, those of you that actually did this, please review at the end of the chappie. One more thing. Shigure fans, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!! I have nothing against Shigure! Heck, he's one of my favorite characters in the manga! I just needed to do this. Anyhoo, moving on!)

As soon as the catastrophic event ended, Tohru became more scared then she was in the last chappie. She ran over to Shigure while shouting his name, and she began desperately trying to wake him up.

Meanwhile, Yuki began pinning the blame on Kyo, saying, "Good going, stupid cat." Kitty boy's response was, "Hey! Don't blame me, you damn rat!" (A/N: Oh. . . . . my god. I . . . made them . . . . . . rhyme. . . . . . . . . AUGHHHH!!! THAT IS TOTALLY FREAKY!!! I NEED TO MAKE MYSELF STOP DOING WEIRD THINGS LIKE THIS!! -starts bonking head on desk before pausing and taking deep breaths- Oh, don't mind me. Just continue the story. -continues previous actions-)

"Shigure-san!" Tohru shouted again. "Shigure-san! Are you alright?"

Suddenly, Shigure became wide awake, but something was different about him. Instead of having a goofy, carefree expression on his face, he had a cold stare with a frown, and he actually looked very serious. As he said to Tohru, "I'm quite alright, Tohru Honda-san," everyone noticed that he suddenly had a British accent.(A/N: -finishes banging head on desk- Just so you all know, I don't actually know what Shigure sounds like in the anime. I just gave him a British accent because it is the accent of the very intelligent, and also, British accents are SO AWESOME! I'm sorry I keep interrupting. Continue.)

They all stared at the man who was, infact, Shigure Sohma with their mouths agape. Ignoring this, Shigure said, "Now, Kyo-san, Yuki-san, you must learn to look past your differences and get along with each other. Tohru Honda-san, you may begin cooking our meal now. As for myself, I shall finish my novel so my editor won't have to go through any trouble."

". . ." Silence followed. Finally, there was a response.

"Who the hell are you, and what happened to Shigure?" Kyo asked angrily. Tohru just continued to stare, awed by Shigure's new behavior. Yuki, on the other hand, went straight to the phone while he thought, "I need to call Hatori-san. He will not believe this!"

Three hours later(at about, say, 6:15)

Hatori opened the door with Ayame and Shigure's editor right behind him. Before Yuki could question why his brother was there, Hatori said, "He heard what happened and wants to, as he puts it, 'save his buddy from being consumed by the darkness that is my influence'."

"It's not true! Shigure couldn't have changed! Please say it isn't so, my little brother!!!" Ayame shouted with worry in his voice. Yuki just decided to lead them to Shigure's office. When they arrived, however, the sight that met their eyes was incredibly unbelieveable.

Shigure had finished printing out his finished product, and instead of wearing his usual outfit, he wore a business suit as black as midnight with a white undershirt and a red tie. Even Yuki blinked at him, even though he already saw Shigure's strange behavior.

Suddenly, Ayame shouted out, "NOOOOOOO!! WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOU, SHIGURE?!? YOU HAVE GONE TO THE DARK SIDE!!!"

While the snake-man crawled into the corner of Shigure's office, whimpering and crying very loudly, Shigure said in that incredibly smexy British accent, "You are so foolish, Ayame-san."

"Whoa," Yuki muttered softly. "If that's how he acts when Shigure changes, I wonder what he'd do if I became like that."

It was at this moment that Kyo and Tohru came in the room. "What's going on in here?" Kyo asked, curious from the loud bawling. (A/N: Kyo should watch out. Curiousity killed the cat! Hee hee.) He looked into the room and said, "Oh. Ayame just saw the dog's drastic change."

After a few more seconds, Shigure walked to the other five people I refuse to mention and said, "Hatori-san, I am terribly sorry about troubling you with my behavior. I've acted foolish. Mitsuri-san, here's my novel. I think you'll be pleased."

They both just stared at him in bewilderment. Finally, Hatori said, "Wow. He's like a mini-me."

"What do we do, Hatori-san?" Tohru asked, worried about whether or not this was good or bad.

Then, the doctor said something totally out of character.(A/N: Wait a minute. They are all at least a little bit out of character. Oh, well. Moving on, and I swear, this will be my last 'in the middle of the story' author note.) He exclaimed, "Why do anything? I like the new Shigure! He's less annoying now."

"I like him too!" Mitsuri said. "He turns in the manuscript on time, and I admire his new voice. I think it's HOT!"

At this, everybody twitched a WHOLE lot! Hatori joined his little "mini-me" and glared at Ayame with him. Then, there was silence.

Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo decided that things were okay after two minutes and left to eat dinner. (A/N: If you want to know what their eating, just use your imagination. . . . OH NO! I MADE ANOTHER AUTHOR'S NOTE! I'M A VERY BAD GIRL!! -goes spastic and runs into a wall-)

Well, Shigure's new personality lasted for two weeks, during which everyone except Ayame was enjoying it while it lasted. The fun ended when Shigure went upstairs to help Tohru with the laundry. He had tripped down the stairs with a full load of laundry in his arms. This led to yet another painful chain reaction where dog boy hit his head on the stairs several times. When he regained consciousness, he was his old self once more, and things went back to normal.
