Introduction
Once upon a time, God told the animals, βIβm inviting you all to my banquet tomorrow. Donβt be late.β Hearing that the mischievous rat lied to his neighbor, the cat, and told him the banquet would be the day after tomorrow. The next day the rat rode on the back of the ox and nimbly landed before the banquet hall. After him followed the ox, the tiger, and all the rest, and together they feasted until morning. All except for the cat who had been tricked.
The Sohma family has been living with a curse for as long as they could remember. They are possessed by the vengeful spirits of the Chinese Zodiac. Whenever they hug a member of the opposite sex, who isnβt a member of the Zodiac, they transform into their respective animals. They stay away from crowds to lower the occurrences of them transforming and stay to themselves more often than not.
Those who know of the Zodiac curse live inside the gate as they always have and those who do not live outside the gate. Some of the older Zodiac members have received permission from the head of the family to live outside of the gates, but only a few are allowed to do so.
This story will occur a few generations after Yuki, Kyo, and Shigureβs generation. The curse wasnβt lifted and they family remained cursed. You may not have the same names or pasts as the original characters from the series. You will obviously be related to that generation, but they are not allowed to be your parents. They can be your grandparents or something of the like, remember you are a few generations younger than them. Only if you want your character to be in his twenties or thirties can they be your parents, but please try to be reasonable in the fact that not all of the characters can be that old, we do want some to be teenagers or younger. Also try not to have too many younger Zodiac members, try to stay within reasonable ages.

Taki stared at Mizure like a goldfish out of water, but suddenly tears formed in her eyes. Tears of pain? Noβ¦ Tears of strange joy? Yes. When Taki eyes met Masahiroβs that joy lifted in an heartbeat. She stood up for meβ¦why?
"Come with me, Mizure-chan," he commanded calmly. "And you as well, Taki-chan. It is time to remind you of your places..."
In instant Taki saw flashes of images of blood, white fists, a slightly younger version of her screaming. The dog was so distracted the only part that was actually heard was. β Run-away.β For sure it stuck. Slowly thoughts and plots started forming. Without knowing Mizure and Masahiro was gone.
'What was all that yelling about?"
Taki snapped out her mind. β My punishment!β She ran out of the room and joined Masahiro and Mizure. When Mizure open her mouth, Taki silenced Mizure by rising her hand.

Rukishi knows for a fact that if anyone finds out than tells the god, Akihiko will have to face much worse than being trapped in the room. This happen before, and not just with Tohru, even though it extremely rare. The Sohma that had told is usually severally punished and banned from the family (expect for New Yearβs Banquet). Most ended being poor, never marrying, there even rumors that somewhere killed somehow. Rukishi felt relief when got somewhere private. Akane's home...

This was how it always began.
βTake your seat, Taki,β he whispered, gesturing to the far wall, covered in the long scars of the nails of his victims. βMizure, you as well. Close to her.β

Akane led them quickly up the street, heart pounding. She couldnβt believe it, really couldnβt comprehend it. Akihikoβ¦ was a rat? Was that even possible? There were stories, of course. Childrensβ stories. Silly stories of people who turned into animals. It wasnβt true, was it?! Could it be?
The apartment she took them to was small and dark, and just a little bit messy. Kitchen, bedroom, living room, bathroom. Simple, with little furnishing, no decoration aside from a little family picture. Not enough room for more than one person to live.
Good thing it was only Akaneβ¦

Mitsuki looked around the house with curiousity. "Never been in another persons house before." She smiles and begins to look at everything she can see. She sees a picture frame of a family, and a little version of Akane. "is that you Akane-chan."

"Sorry about worrying you Miss Hirogatsu. But for my family that's pretty normal for us. Oh and I wouldn't suggest hugging Rukishi-kun here," Akihiko said softly. Rukishi laughed, his strange colored eyes, staring down at his hands.
" Rat boy is right though, I tend have my hands wonder where they shouldn't" Rukishi laughed once more wiggling his fingers. "But seriously, I'm just like Akihiko-kun. I'm one of the Zodiac, the rooster actually. Guess you can say I'm pretty cocky" Rukishi smiled kindly at the Akane.

"A-ah," she whispered, staring at Akihiko. She kept expecting herself to freak out, to want to run away. But she was perfectly fine with it... at least, it seemed that way. There wasn't any crazy freaking out going on for her.
Had she already accepted it, without even realizing it...?
"I-I understand," she answered quickly. "I won't tell anyone..." she frowned slightly, confused. "The... cat?" she asked. "There's no cat in the zodiac, is there?"

Masahiro crouched down in front of Mizure, reaching out calmly to trace a finger across her cheek.
"Who shall I punish first?" he whispered, voice gentle. Too gentle. "You tried to defy me..." he glanced at Taki. "But you... you're slow. You didn't follow fast enough, little dog..."
He sighed quietly, letting a wicked smile cross his lips.
"Who to strike first...?"

"You tried to defy me..."
"i-im sorry.." She whispers, her voice trembles in fear.
"b-but if you accept ill take all of the punishment for taki.." She asked quietly, her head lowered.

Mitsuki hears there conversation.
"yes there is a cat, lunette!"
"Oh she is super nice!"
She giggles, her ivory hair gleaming as the sun shines down on it.

"No!" Taki snapped, standing up infront of Mizura. I'm tired of this, this needs to stop! " Take your anger out on me, but not on Mizura! She smaller and weaker than me. On top of that one of the most valued Zodiac. She has no real reason to be here.
Anyway, isn't that why I'm here. To be your little punching bag. Your stupid dog. I swear the dumb cat gets treated better than me. And Mizura was right, deep down your just like the rest of us. Scared, alone, and wishing to be loved." Taki knew what she was saying, but didn't know why she was saying. It just came out of anger. Mizura stood up for her, Taki wanted to repay her,and there was no way in hell Mizura was going to take Taki's punishment.
________________________________________________________________________________
" Oh, don't pay Akihiko no mind about the cat. Lunette is extremely smart and nice. It just the rat and cat always hated each other. From the beginning. Maybe from the start of time." Rukishi said. He wasn't saying much which was a shocker... He just wanted to see how everything played out.

"I see," he whispered lethally. "The same as you, am I?"
He struck swiftly and without mercy, hurling Taki away from him.

Akane stared between them, bewildered. Cat... in the zodiac? Out of the zodiac? She'd never heard of such a thing...
Not that it mattered.
"What now?" she asked nervously. "Now that I know?"

Re: [OOC] Fruits Basket: A New Story
Akane's also wandering around town, if you feel like leaving the estate and crashing (maybe literally) into her. I think she should find out soon, so she can get more involved with the family~
