Introduction
Hello! My name is Kyoki Okamiki. And I go to the same school as Yuki Sohma and the others. I’ve noticed that all the Sohma’s have something about them that is un-normal. I vow to find out their secret with my trusty sidekick, Yume, we shall reveal what they are up too.
* * *
Case One: I saw mom kissing a Sohma
“It all began when my mom got sick and had to go visit a doctor. Then that doctor referred her to Hatori Sohma. (I don’t know why, he’s a family doctor and we aren’t relative to him.) Then soon after, he began making house calls and visiting the house on a regular basic. Soon after, Ayame, who found out where Hatori was hanging out, started coming over a lot. Then Shigure started visiting.
Anywho. One night when I got up to use the potty-”
“The potty? Who the hell says that?” Yume said as she walked into the room where Kyoki was recording her tape about the case.
“Me, damn it!” Kyoki yelled. “Shut up! You’re late! I should fire you! Moving on. I went to the bathroom. How’s that?”
Yume shrugged. “Whatever.”
“I saw my mother kissing a Sohma. I’m not sure which one of the three it was. But I will figure it out. First we’ll go over the info of all three suspects, go over motive for all three of them, and then investigate! Yume-chan, bring the information I made.” Kyoki said dramatically.
“What information?” Yume said. She was getting rather bored with this job.
“The information I mad about the three suspects. Do you not remember? I made a slide show presentation of it.” Kyoki said. She was starting to get pissed off at Yume’s forgetfulness and laziness.
“Oh, that.” Yume grabbed her briefcase and began looking for the disk. She tossed it over to Kyoki.
“Hey! Be careful. There’s important info on this disk. We have no case if we lose this.” Kyoki yelled.
“Gosh, sorry.” Yume said as she rolled her eyes.
Kyoki put the disk into the slot on the projector and began playing the slide show. “This is the victim.”
A picture of a woman with long brown hair came on. She had green eyes and looked somewhat like Kyoki. Next to her picture were her stats.
“This is Sakura Fushigi. AKA, my mom. She’s 5’2”. Weight unknown. Martial status is single. Gender is female, obviously. Her birthday is March 19. She has green eyes and brown hair. And all that other stuff is unimportant right now.” Kyoki clicked on a button and a picture of Hatori came up and some of his info was there too. “Time for the first suspect. His full name is Hatori Sohma. His age is twenty seven. He is six feet tall. He is 162 pounds. His sign is Cancer and his occupation is a doctor. Martial status is also single.” Kyoki pushed another button. A picture of Shigure game up. “Shigure Sohma. Age is twenty seven. His height is five foot ten inches. He weights one hundred and one pounds. His blood type is AB. Oh, and Hatori’s blood type is A. I forgot to mention that. Shigure is a Scorpio. His occupation is a novelist. His marital status is, like everyone else, single. “ Kyoki pushed another button and a picture of Ayame came up. “And the last suspect. His name is Ayame Sohma, he’s twenty seven like the other two. He’s 5’7”, making him the shortest out of the three guys. He weights one hundred and thirty nine. His blood type is O. And he is a Sagittarius, just like me. He is a tailor and clothes store owner. He is also single.” Kyoki turned to Yume.
“What? Don’t look at me.” Yume snapped.
Kyoki rolled her eyes and turned back to the camera. “Now we shall move on to the motives. My sources tell me that Hatori used to be in love with a girl named Kana, but it ended and he hasn’t seen any one else since. My guess is that he has finally got over his loose and has decided my mom is the one to move on with. Or something. Now Shigure, he can be somewhat of a flirt. So maybe he was flirting with my mom, then kissed her. And now Ayame, umm, I’m not sure what his motive would be. Maybe he likes my mom and then kissed her. Who knows, but that is why we are here.”
“We’re here to find out who kissed your mom, not why.” Yume snapped.
“Hush you! Now it is time to investigate. I must get into my spy suit now. Excuse me.” Kyoki ran out of the room. Moments later, she reappeared wearing black leather pants, a tight black shirt. She wore black boots and a black cape. She also wore goggles. “I just got the most perfect idea, Yume-chan. What if we get one of the Sohma’s on our side and help us investigate. Ya know, like an inside agent. But which Sohma…” Kyoki wondered for a minute. “We’ll get back to that later. For now, we must investigate. Maybe solving this mystery will help me with their bigger secret. Mahahahahaha! This is perfect.” Kyoki took a mini recorder from her backpack and turned it on. “Come, Yume-chan. We have work to do.”
Yume looked at her watch. “Oh my! Look at the time. I should be getting home. Sorry, Kyoki.”
Kyoki looked at her cousin suspiciously. “Are you hiding anything? Is something up?”
“No, nothing. I just have to go. I promise my mom I would be home early. That’s all.” Yume said as she began to walk out the door. “Later!”
“Ja-bye-bye then!” Kyoki waved as Yume left. Yume shrugged her shoulders and began getting ready for her big investigation.
Meanwhile, Yume ran out of Kyoki’s house. Instead for running to her house, she ran to Shigure’s house. When she got there, she went onto the roof where she found Kyou.
“What’s wrong with you? Did you run here?” Kyou asked.
“Yea.” Yume said as she sat down on the roof next to him.
“What happened?” Kyou asked as he sat up. “Is Kyoki unto us?”
Yume shook her head. “No, not yet, at least.”
Kyou smiled. “Then we have nothing to worry about.”
Yume smiled back. “Yep. Well I gotta go home. Bye.”
“Bye.” he said.
Yume climbed down from the roof. She then ran to her home.
Kyoki walked upstairs,( her secret base was in the basement) and found her mom in the kitchen making dinner. Kyoki turned the recorder on and walked in. “Hello mom! Wha’cha doing?”
“Oh, I’m making dinner.” Sakura turned around. But quickly turned back around when she saw the camcorder. “Why are you filming me? Turn it off!”
“I can’t until I am finished with something. Mother, may I ask you a few questions?”
“O-ok.” Sakura said. She wasn’t sure what her daughter was up too, but it probably wasn’t something good.
“Where were you on the night of last Monday?” Kyoki asked.
“In my bed. Sleeping. Why?” she asked.
“Oh nothing. Did you get up at all?”
“No, not that I know of.”
“Did you sleep walk?”
“No, Kyoki.”
“Do you happen to be lying to me right now?”
“No, Kyoki! Why are you asking me this! What does me getting up in the middle of the night have to do with anything!”
“I’m trying to figure out what Sohma you kissed.” Kyoki blurted.
“What! I didn’t kiss any of them. They’re just friends.” Sakura said. “I have to make dinner.” She then continued to make dinner.
“Alright. That ends our Q&A for today. But I’ll be back for more answers.” Kyoki quickly turned around, making her cape flow beautifully behind her. She ran up to her room where she pointed the camera at her self. “I asked my mother some questions. She seems to be hiding something. She didn’t look at me the whole time we talked. Maybe she is ashamed of kissing one of those Sohmas. I don’t know why, they’re all pretty hot. That interview was a dead end. I will have to talk to the suspects now and then cross reference what they all said. I’m off to Shigure Sohmas’ place now. I hope I will get more answers there. I’ll talk more when I get there. Later.” she then turned of the camera ran downstairs told her mom she would be gone for a little bit. She got her bike and rode to Shigure’s house.
When I got there, I knocked on the door. I was surprised to see that The Prince answered the door. I didn’t think that he would be here. This made things complicated. But then it hit me, maybe he could be my inside Sohma. I smiled at him sweetly. “Hello Yuki-sama! How are you?”
Yuki was surprised. I would be surprised if I was him and saw me there. I mean, I don’t go there often. I went once or twice with my mom, but that was all.
“Hello Kyoki-chan. This is a surprise.” he said.
“Yea. I was wondering, is Shigure-can here?” I asked.
“Yes. Is something wrong?” Yuki said.
“Oh, no. I’m just investigating something. I just need to talk to him a few minutes. It won’t take long.” I told him. I needed to get Shigure alone in the house so he would talk more freely if I could get him to crack. I knew that Yuki and Kyou liked to fight, a lot. So I decided I had to take some action. “Yuki-sama, umm, there is another reason why I cam here. Kyou-kun was being rather mean to me a school today.” I felt bad that I was lying to him, but I had to take action.
Yuki’s eyes suddenly became cold a mean. I thought he figured out why I said that and why I was there. I was getting ready to run when he said, “Stupid cat. Don’t worry. I will deal with that damn cat.”
“Cat? I dint’ say anything about a cat. I said Kyou. K-Y-O-U. Kyou!” I said, but he was not listening to me. He walked past me and made his way toward the ladder. So I welcomed my self into the house. I navigated myself to the room where they usually were when we came here. I found him sitting there, eating some kind of food. “Hello Shigure-san.”
“Oh, hi, Kyoki-chan. I didn’t know you were coming over. Is your mom with you?” he said.
“No. I came alone this time. I have some business I have to take care of with you.” I sat down at the opposite side of the table from him.
A perverted gleam came into his black eyes. “Oh, Kyoki-chan. I have awaited those words to come out of someone’s mouth. You came here to confess your love for me. I must say, I am surprised. I’m sure we can look past our age difference and be happy together. We should at least give it a try.”
“You have got to be kidding. You think I came here to tell you that? You are so off. That is just wrong and not right. I need therapy now.” I said.
“Oh.” he said sadly.
“It has nothing to do with you. You’re a very good looking guy. It’s just that I’m not looking for a boyfriend right now, I’m looking for the truth. And you will tell me what I need to know. And you will tell me everything truthfully. If you don’t, I will cause great amount of pain on your ass. Do you understand?”
I must have scared him pretty badly because he nodded and didn’t say any perverted comment.
“I’m going to ask you a few questions. And I expect you to answer them to the best of your ability. Where were you on Monday night?”
“Umm. Here. I was working on my new novel.” he said.
It seemed truthful, but I was not taking any chances.
“Do you have anyone here that can say you were here doing that?” I asked. I needed an alibi if he was going to get out of my grip that easily. We’ll get to that later though, have you ever kissed my mom before?”
“What kind of kiss? Friend kiss? Kiss on cheek? French kiss…” he said.
He would have gone on and on, but I did not have the time. “French kiss.”
He shook his head. “Nope. I only have kissed her on the cheek.”
“Ok. Back to the alibi. Do you have one?”
Shigure shifted in this seat uncomfortably. He looked at the camera nervously. “No, I don’t. Why would I need one? I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“We’ll see about that.” I stood up. “Do not leave the country. I will get back to you in a few days. Have a pleasant evening.”
I got up and left before he could say anything else. When I got outside I found Kyou and Yuki still fighting. As usually, Yuki was kicking Kyou’s ass.
Kyou saw me and yelled, “You! What the hell did you tell the damn mouse!”
“What the hell are you talking about? I never talked to a mouse today.” This family is messed up. First they keep referring each other as animals, and they have their own damn community where all the Sohmas live. And who knows what else, but I will found it all out someday. But for now, I must get away from Kyou before he starts attacking me.
“You were mean to me at school, remember. Well, hate to start a fight and run, but I have to go now. I have to go talk to Ayame and Hatori. Later.”
I was about to run away when Yuki stopped me.
“Wait! You’re going to go talk to my brother and Hatori? Why?” Yuki asked curiously.
“Do you really want to know?” I asked him. Maybe this is how I could get him on my side.
Yuki nodded.
“Then follow me.”
“Ok…” Yuki said.
We then made our way to the Sohma main estate. I kept the camcorder on in case he said something that would help my case.
“That girl is weird… she’s creepy too.” Shigure whined.
Kyou walked into the room.
“What happened to you, Kyou?” Shigure asked.
“Me and the damn mouse fought.” Kyou said.
“Why did you fight this time?” Shigure looked at him, interested in what he had to say.
“That girl said that I was mean to her at school and Yuki started beating me up!” Kyou yelled. “They’re both messed up! And now they weren’t out to talk to Ayame and Hatori for some unknown reason.”
“Oh, really?” Shigure began crying. “She must be off to confess her love to one of them.”
“You’re sick! You know that! You’re fundamentally sick!” Kyou yelled and ran to go back on to the roof.
Shigure put his hand on his head instead, and began to get all weepy like he usually did. "I do seem to have a fever Ah, but perhaps Kyoki-chan has touched my soul and made me blush" He said in his chibi-ish voice. "Ah Kyoki-chan, the day shall come when you confess your true feelings!"
I was glad that I brought Yuki with me. They wouldn’t have let me in unless a Sohma was with me. I decided to ask Hatori first, then try and find Ayame. Yuki said that Ayame would be at his shop.
We found Hatori in his office. We entered and he was surprised to see us.
“Hatori-sama, if you don’t mind, I would like to ask you a few questions. Is that ok with you?” I asked him.
“Fine. This better be important.” Hatori said coldly.
“Yes. It is. It’s not a life or death thing, but it could be.” I smiled. I really liked Hatori, but sometimes he scared me. “Umm, do you know where you, were umm, at last Monday?”
“Yes. I was here taking care of Akito because she wasn’t feeling well.” he said.
“Have you ever kissed my mom, in a non friendly way, I mean?” I asked.
“No. I have not. Is that why you came here? You should ask Shigure or Ayame. They could do something like that.”
“I know. I asked Shigure already. He said he didn’t. I’m just interviewing everyone who is a suspect in this case.” I told him.
“Well, it’s not me. So you can go talk to Ayame now.” he said. “He’s at his store right now.”
“Thank you Hatori-sama! I’m really sorry for bothering you.” I bowed to show him how sorry I was.
“It’s fine. Don’t do it again. Yuki, have you come for your checkup? It’s been a while.” Hatori said.
“Oh, no. I’m just here to help Kyoki-chan. I’ll come back later for that.” Yuki said, but I think he had no plan to come back for the checkup.
We said our goodbyes and headed toward Ayame’s store.
“So that is why you are going around with that camcorder. You’re tying to find out who kissed your mom?” he asked.
I nodded. “Yes. I know it is lame, but I want my mom to be happy and I want to find who she kissed so she can be happy with that person if she wants too and so she won’t have to hide it from me.” I told him.
“You love you mom very much, don’t you?” Yuki smiled.
“Yes. I do.” I smiled back.
As we were about to leave the Sohma estate, Hatori drove his car by us and stopped. “Get in, you’ll need help dealing with Ayame.”
“Ok. Thanks Hatori-sama!” I said as we got in the car.
He then proceeded to take us to Ayame’s store.
To be continued….

I do not own Fruits Basket, only the characters I made up and put in the story, such as Kyoki, Yume and Sakura. ^^
Hello! My name is Kyoki Okamiki. And I go to the same school as Yuki Sohma and the others. I’ve noticed that all the Sohma’s have something about them that is un-normal. I vow to find out their secret with my trusty sidekick, Yume, we shall reveal what they are up too.

“The potty? Who the hell says that?” Yume said as she walked into the room where Kyoki was recording her tape about the case.
“Me, damn it!” Kyoki yelled. “Shut up! You’re late! I should fire you! Moving on. I went to the bathroom. How’s that?”

“This is Sakura Fushigi. AKA, my mom. She’s 5’2”. Weight unknown. Martial status is single. Gender is female, obviously. Her birthday is March 19. She has green eyes and brown hair. And all that other stuff is unimportant right now.” Kyoki clicked on a button and a picture of Hatori came up and some of his info was there too. “Time for the first suspect. His full name is Hatori Sohma. His age is twenty seven. He is six feet tall. He is 162 pounds. His sign is Cancer and his occupation is a doctor.

He weights one hundred and one pounds. His blood type is AB. Oh, and Hatori’s blood type is A. I forgot to mention that. Shigure is a Scorpio. His occupation is a novelist. His marital status is, like everyone else, single. “ Kyoki pushed another button and a picture of Ayame came up. “And the last suspect. His name is Ayame Sohma, he’s twenty seven like the other two. He’s 5’7”, making him the shortest out of the three guys. He weights one hundred and thirty nine. His blood type is O. And he is a Sagittarius, just like me. He is a tailor and clothes store owner. He is also single.” Kyoki turned to Yume.
“What? Don’t look at me.” Yume snapped.
Kyoki rolled her eyes and turned back to the camera. “Now we shall move on to the motives.

“What’s wrong with you? Did you run here?” Kyou asked.
“Yea.” Yume said as she sat down on the roof next to him.
“What happened?” Kyou asked as he sat up. “Is Kyoki unto us?”
Yume shook her head. “No, not yet, at least.”
Kyou smiled. “Then we have nothing to worry about.”
Yume smiled back. “Yep. Well I gotta go home. Bye.”
“Bye.” he said.
Yume climbed down from the roof. She then ran to her home.
Kyoki walked upstairs,( her secret base was in the basement) and found her mom in the kitchen making dinner. Kyoki turned the recorder on and walked in. “Hello mom! Wha’cha doing?”
“Oh, I’m making dinner.” Sakura turned around. But quickly turned back around when she saw the camcorder. “Why are you filming me? Turn it off!”

So I welcomed my self into the house. I navigated myself to the room where they usually were when we came here. I found him sitting there, eating some kind of food. “Hello Shigure-san.”
“Oh, hi, Kyoki-chan. I didn’t know you were coming over. Is your mom with you?” he said.
“No. I came alone this time. I have some business I have to take care of with you.” I sat down at the opposite side of the table from him.

He would have gone on and on, but I did not have the time. “French kiss.”

We then made our way to the Sohma main estate. I kept the camcorder on in case he said something that would help my case.
“That girl is weird… she’s creepy too.” Shigure whined.
Kyou walked into the room.
“What happened to you, Kyou?” Shigure asked.
“Me and the damn mouse fought.” Kyou said.
“Why did you fight this time?” Shigure looked at him, interested in what he had to say.

Shigure put his hand on his head instead, and began to get all weepy like he usually did. "I do seem to have a fever Ah, but perhaps Kyoki-chan has touched my soul and made me blush" He said in his chibi-ish voice. "Ah Kyoki-chan, the day shall come when you confess your true feelings!"

We found Hatori in his office. We entered and he was surprised to see us.
“Hatori-sama, if you don’t mind, I would like to ask you a few questions. Is that ok with you?” I asked him.
“Fine. This better be important.” Hatori said coldly.
“Yes. It is. It’s not a life or death thing, but it could be.” I smiled. I really liked Hatori, but sometimes he scared me. “Umm, do you know where you, were umm, at last Monday?”
“Yes. I was here taking care of Akito because she wasn’t feeling well.” he said.
“Have you ever kissed my mom, in a non friendly way, I mean?” I asked.
“No. I have not. Is that why you came here? You should ask Shigure or Ayame. They could do something like that.”
“I know. I asked Shigure already. He said he didn’t. I’m just interviewing everyone who is a suspect in this case.” I told him.
“Well, it’s not me. So you can go talk to Ayame now.” he said. “He’s at his store right now.”
“Thank you Hatori-sama! I’m really sorry for bothering you.” I bowed to show him how sorry I was.
“It’s fine. Don’t do it again. Yuki, have you come for your checkup? It’s been a while.” Hatori said.
“Oh, no. I’m just here to help Kyoki-chan. I’ll come back later for that.” Yuki said, but I think he had no plan to come back for the checkup.
We said our goodbyes and headed toward Ayame’s store.
“So that is why you are going around with that camcorder. You’re tying to find out who kissed your mom?” he asked.
I nodded. “Yes. I know it is lame, but I want my mom to be happy and I want to find who she kissed so she can be happy with that person if she wants too and so she won’t have to hide it from me.” I told him.
“You love you mom very much, don’t you?” Yuki smiled.
“Yes. I do.” I smiled back.
As we were about to leave the Sohma estate, Hatori drove his car by us and stopped. “Get in, you’ll need help dealing with Ayame.”
“Ok. Thanks Hatori-sama!” I said as we got in the car.
He then proceeded to take us to Ayame’s store.

I do not own Fruits Basket, only the characters I made up and put in the story, such as Kyoki, Yume and Sakura. ^^
