Introduction
.
You never found it very different from junior high or elementary. Everyone remained their same, absolutely normal selves. There were some changes, yes, but otherwise the world was still spinning in the right direction. You've got that same crush on that same guy you've liked for a couple years now. But he's so popular that it's a wonder he can even remember your name. To him, you are a nobody. But to you, he is everything.
At least, until, the world that was spinning perfectly tipped over and spilled all the sanity off the globe.
For one reason or another, you find yourself with no-where to turn. But low and behond, that guy you've liked just so happens to meet you in your moment of trouble; the prince saving his princess, though at the moment he wouldn't know. He takes you in, shelters you from the cold, and allows you to abide in his residence. Two other girls are there as well and you suddenly feel a pang of the utmost jealously. Yet, romance is the least of your problems.
The three boys you've just moved in with just so happen to hold a secret of their own.
And you're about to find out.

<:{Info and Rules}:>
-If you haven't seen or heard of Fruits Basket, I would go check it out before entering-
-Hugging, weakness, or overwhelming embarasment is the only reason for the guys to turn into their animals-
-Since this happens during highschool, we'll be starting the roleplay off at the end of the school year so we don't have to deal with the tedious classes and other crap-
-You should be in highschool! No younger, no older-
-Romance isn't set. go for whoever you want, and fight for them if you want to-
-The only fighting should really be just arguing or fist-fights between the guys. Otherwise, no-
-Go on and curse, but if your personality doesn't match that kind of person, be careful-
-Got a problem with me? Suck it up-
-I won't tolerate OOC arguing. If you have a problem, either PM me, the other person, or leave it alone-
-Don't just join and don't post! I want this to last a looong time-
-No one liners. Posts should be more than 5 sentences. But please, don't write a novel-
-Please try to post once every two days. If you have issues, please contact me-
-If you have to lease, don't just leave! Tell us in the OOC topic so we can prepare for your absense ahead of time-
-I'm not reserving! If you want a character, submit an application and if you're lucky, I'll choose it-
-No complaining if you aren't picked. It's nothing personal, really-

The brunette managed to hobble back inside and set her stuff down before collapsing in a chair in the kitchen. From there she washed the blood from her knees, flinching even as she delicately wiped at the one knee. Her first thought was to go to Haizen and see what he thought was wrong, but she immediately shunned the idea. First of all, he disserved to sleep much longer; she felt awful for that cat messing with him so early. And second, she was sure that it would be a little awkward. Bella bit her lip, suddenly feeling useless. In her lap her hands clenched, her body physically tensing as well. If only she had some money. She was a frail fish flopping on the banks of a river, helpless. Only the tide could save her, but he'd already done so much to save her from the storm. Deciding the best thing to do was to just make some breakfast and kick off the pain, she stood and quietly rummaged through the fridge.
It was painful to walk on her bad leg and she was sure that she looked like an injured cat, dragging its limb along the ground in a pitiful attempt to continue on its way. Even through her gritting teeth, however, Bella managed to get a decent meal on the table. She moved to wash the dishes, attempting to stand at least partially normal in case Haizen suddenly popped up.

Skylar laughed. "Easy, Ria. She's not into Hiroshi like that, calm down."
Parker smiled. "I suppose you're welcome to try. We need the general food things, and some house object, such as tissue and cleaning supplies."

"ok. Aiko's twin keeps him in line. We just don't get along very well. WE have the same father but a different mother but. . . .our dad is dead."
she said softly, glancing at the ground. "And even if he did get in trouble, he would let me help."
Her hair covered one of her eyes as her face fell.
She missed her father, and it was pretty clear.
"Yeah, I have everything." she said softly, tugging on his shirt she was wearing as they entered the house.

Paker smiled at her enthusiasim. "Yes," He said while following her, "We usualy get take-out in the main house. Leon-sama usualy wants it that way. I don't know why he's against outsiders..."
He looked up at Misaki with his large orange eyes. "Ria here is convinced that she's going to grow up and marry Hiroshi. Hiroshi can't stand that thought. It's actualy quite comical to watch them."
"Sky-chan! We will get married! I know we will! Deep down, Hiro-kun really does love me...I know he does." A smile lit up her face as she fondled her stuffed bunny backpack. "It's nice to meet you, Misaki-chan."

"Rai.. what are you doing here?" he asked, but didnt really seemed to be interested in her answer. "Go back home.. the last thing I want is for Leon to come and look for you. I dont feel like seeing him.. or hear him nag."

"Hiro-kun! You can't expect me to leave as soon as you get here!" Ria tackled him in a hug, eyeing the girl, Aimee, behind him with a glare. "Hiro-kun, who is this girl? Sky-kun, you didn't mention there was another girl living with you. She's not living here too is she?"
Skylar sighed, stretching underneath Misaki. "I didn't find it pertinant to say." His eyes danced with enjoyment as he gazed at Hiroshi, who was glaring at him. The look in his tiger-orange eyes said it all. 'She's yours, you deal with her.'

Hiroshi sat up as the girl rolled off him. He tilted his head back to looked at Aimee, "Ignore her." he murmured. He shot another look at Skylar, who was clearly enjoying this. Shaking his head, Hiroshi got back up and stretched.

Parker smiled. "You could definately give it a try. Supposedly, he's allowed two female classmates of my cousins Skylar and Hiroshi to live with them. That in and of itself is very unusual. And, Miss Hidaka, there's no need for such formalities. I am only four years older than you." He looked down at her. She was on the shorter side, but Parker had to admit to himse;f, she was rather cute. And 20? Interesting...

She steadied herself and looked at Ria.
"She scared me half to death!" Aimee struggled to slow her heart rate as she put a hand on Hiroshi for balance.
Her more fiery side coming out, she shot a look at Ria, then battered her eyelashes.
"Well, it's not a problem if I'm living with Hiroshi, is it? I'll only be spending time with him, cleaning for him, cooking for him, you get the idea."
She said, leaning forward with a daring gleam in her amber eyes.
A small smile played on her lips as she realized she was still holding onto Hiroshi.

Ria's eyes snapped like fire as she opened her mouth to speak. However, she was intterupted by Skylar. After he was done, she crossed her arms and pouted. "Whatever, fine. I'm going home." She pulled her shoes on and slammed the door as she left.
Skylar sighed, standing up. He walked inside and over to the others, stepping between Aimee and Ria. His large amber eyes glared at Ria. "Don't push it, Ria. You're only twelve. You've got plenty of your life left before you even think about marrige." Skylar sat down, almost as tall as Aimee when he sat down. "Don't push her too hard. She may only be the rabbitt, but she's got a temper like Parker." Then, he said after a few seconds. "And you may want to leave the room, Aimee."
((BTW, in case you didn't know, Skylar is still in tiger form.))

Absently, Haizen wondered whether or not his embarassing shout had awoken Bella. He sure hoped not. It was humiliating enough that nightmares and dreams plagued his sleep, he didn't need anyone else knowing about it. Those dreams that included Leon, the head of the Sohma family, towering over him with that twisted smile beaming on his face that said you-are-garbage-you're-nothing-good. Hunching exhausted shoulders, he rolled them and only stood when he heard a quiet popping. Faint noises alerted him, his ears twitched and he looked in the direction of the kitchen. Of course, he couldn't see around the hallway but he swore he heard the faint plodding sounds of feet. Was Bella up? Perhaps to get some water? Licking his dry lips, he staggered to his feet and stretched much like a cat would, back arching until the familiar sense of well-being tickled through his body. Stretching was the only thing that made him feel better on a particularly bad day—that and a nice pot of tea. Seeing as the latter wasn't about, he padded quietly towards the kitchen.
Squinting through the darkness, Haizen rounded the corner and halted in his tracks. Bella was standing in front of the sink, washing dishes and from the pleasant smell, she'd cooked herself a meal. His jaw worked, and his mouth hung agape for a few moments. “B-Bella?” He mumbled, half-enquiry, half-surprise. “What're ya' doing up? I told you to go to bed. Your sick.” Breathing softly through his teeth, he took a few steps forward and leaned heavily on the counter. His eyes were lidded and surprisingly vibrant in the dark.

“I-I slept for a while,” she said quietly while delicately placing the plate she’d been holding to its pile. “I always get up really early, though. It’s just a habit. Sorry if I woke you...” Bella wasn’t about to mention that she’d attempted to leave, though in the end only injured herself further. She used the teapot beside her as a distraction to her leg, whose knee still looked crooked, painful, and black and blue. “I, er, made some tea and a meal if you want anything,” she added after a moment.
Bella quickly poured two glasses of tea anyway, needing one herself as she wanted to cover up the gloom on her face. Her head felt hot and her touch numb, but she’d dealt with this for weeks and it hadn’t stopped her before. She took a small sip of the tea, focusing on the tilt of the liquid in the glass instead of Haizen. It was embarrassing to think that he was fairly cute when he had just woken from his slumber. Just like a cat, she realized. It was supposed to be humorous, but she was too weak to even give herself a mental laugh. “How’d you sleep?” she said finally, trying to clear away the heavy silence that had filled the kitchen.

It was true that she really needed to work on her temper.
Her amber eyes fell on the tiger that stood before her and she absently played with his fur.
"Well, clearly your the tiger." She said lightly.
When he pointed out that she should leave the room, she tilted her head and asked, "Why's that?"

Skylar was about to respond when he "poofed" back to his original form. He sat down quickly, trying to cover as much of himself as he could. "Because now I'm naked." He blushed slightly, saying to Misaki, "Um...could you get me my clothes please?" This was the most ambarassing part about being a Sohma. No clothes when the transformation happened again. Oh well. That was life for them.

She quickly hurried out of the room, scooping up her bag from the floor.
Once she was out of the room she sighed deeply.
Her bird hobbled over to her and Aimee looked down. "Where have you been?"

"Miskaki. . . .I like your hair." She said with a light smile.
It was rare to get Aimee in a good mood, especially after finding out the guys she's living with are cursed.
And their cousin really pissed them off.
Pushing that to the back of her mind, she scooped up her bird and fixed the bandage on it's wings.

Skylar sighed, and pulled his clothes on for the second time today. "Thanks, Saki-chan." He looked at Hiroshi, and then said, "Have you heard anything from Leon?" There was a coldness in his eyes that he knew Hiro would interpret. They needed to talk. Now that both girls knew, it was possible Leon would start planning immediately.
