A/N: Parody of Fruit Basket.
Chapter 2: Fruit Salad
A certain raven-haired girl was walking to the cafeteria to have lunch with her friends when she was stopped by a guy with perky black hair.
"Natsuki-hime!"
"Takeda-san…"
"I was wondering if you are free after school, would you like to …visit a newly opened cake shop with me?"
"Ask your other friends if you want to have cake, I don't have time for that!"
"Perhaps, to a ramen-stall instead?"
"Get Lost!"
The green eyed beauty attempted to move pass the pesky Kendo captain but was stopped by a hand on her arm. A puff of white smoke suddenly erupted and Takeda moved away to breath clean air.
"Natsuki-hime?"
Takeda was certain that he managed to grab hold of the raven-haired girl but found himself to be empty handed. On the floor was a trail of girls' uniform.

Sohma Shizuru was on her way to the Student Council Room when she found her hands full with a dark-blue haired puppy.
"Ara, this certainly is a surprise. Is my puppy that eager to see me?"
There was an angry growl from the puppy and Shizuru couldn't help but lovingly hug the puppy closer to her chest.
"Don't be like that, you know I'm only teasing you. Come, I'll take you in now, you don't want anyone to see you, do you?"
There was a weak whimper and Shizuru laughed merrily as she brought the puppy into the Student Council Room.
"Have you eaten lunch yet, Natsuki?"
There was a shake of the head and Shizuru smiled as she took out her lunch box and put it on the table. Shizuru put the puppy onto her lap and proceeded to feed it with pieces of her food. There was a loud whimper and Shizuru pat the puppy lovingly.
"As long as I'm feeding you, I'm not letting any certain condiments on the food. You know how much I dislike it.
If a puppy could pout, that was exactly what it was doing. A super cute puppy pout. Shizuru could not stop herself from squealing happily and lovingly hugged the puppy fighting protests from said puppy.
Suddenly, a redhead popped into the room and gave a quick glance at the scene.
"Ha, I knew you'd be here Natsuki. I was waiting for you saw the commotion in the hallway and headed here immediately! I brought along your clothes."
At that moment, a puff of smoke erupted and the puppy changed into a certain green-eyed girl who quickly covered her important parts. Shizuru who was still hugging said puppy had a good view of a lot of skin burst a vessel and was now having a massive nose bleed.
"Shizuru? Shizuru, are you okay?"
The crimson eyed girl held a hand up to her nose to stop the bleeding and simply gave a thumbs up sign at Natsuki before fainting.
"Mou, Shizuru!"

By the time Shizuru's has awoken, Natsuki was fully dressed save for a few buttons.
"So, how did Natsuki manage to transform into a puppy today? Was it Takeda?"
"Yeah, jerk doesn't have a clue when to give up. Doesn't he know that we are dating?"
Sohma Mai simply shook her head and frowned.
"I guess he can't accept the fact that two hot girls are together, especially when they are related."
"Mou Mai, you make it sound like Shizuru and I are incestual sisters. We're cousins, so it's okay."
The older of the couple hugged her lover tightly and gave a kiss to the cheek.
"Even if we were sisters, I doubt I would be able to refuse my darling 'sister'…"
"I'm not calling you 'onee-sama', so don't even try."
Shizuru pouted for a while before becoming serious. Natsuki and Mai cowered as they felt the anger radiating from the crimson-eyed girl.
"How dare he touch My Natsuki. I think Takeda-san need to know his place , I'll go visit him at the Kendo Club later."
"Now, now Shizuru. Don't go overboard."
"Ara Natsuki, have you ever known me to do that?"
All the time, thought the two girls.

Natsuki and Mai were just exiting the school and on their way home when they noticed a commotion near the outdoor changing rooms. Thinking of the worst, they hurried to the source of the commotion.
"So, what's up?" Mai asked a random passerby.
"It seems that a wild animal snuck into the boy's changing room and has one of the boys in a choke hold. The teacher's are waiting for the animal control to come."
"Wild animal?" asked Natsuki with a bad feeling.
"A large purplish snake."
Natsuki and Mai looked at each other before rushing into the boy's changing room ignoring the warnings from the teacher in charge. Inside, Takeda's neck and body was being choked and constricted with a large purple snake that the girls were very familiar with.
"Er, Takeda-san…did you have an argument with Shizuru recently?" asked Mai shaking her head.
"Er…Shi..Shizuru-san did talk to me earlier…" The Kendo Captain managed to whisper out.
"…and did you talk about me?" The snake tightened its hold on the man, so he only managed to nod weakly.
"Did she warn you not to get close to me?"
"…yes…"
"and what did you say?"
"..th..that..you deserve a man…like…me…"
"…and what did she do next?"
"…she left…but…warned…me to watch out…"
"…and how'd you get into this mess?"
"..the..the snake coiled around me …when I was ..rest..ing…"
Shizuru sure is vengeful Thought Mai looking at Natsuki.
She's just possessive. I like that in her. Thought Natsuki back dreamily. Mai simply smiled at that.
"Okay Takeda, let's get this straight. I'm dating Shizuru. She's mine and I'm her's. No one is going is getting between us. No one, get that?"
Mai could have sworn she saw the snake beam, as much as a snake can at this declaration.
"Now that snake is Shizuru…'s and is exactly like it's master so I need you to promise to stay away from me before I can convince it to let go of you. Can you do that?"
"..but…." Any more protest was silenced by the tightening of the purple snake on Takeda's body.
"Will you promise to stay away?"
Takeda weakly nodded his head and Mai let out a breath of relief. She thought Takeda would never give up.
"Okay, he's promised. Will you let go of him now, Shi...-chan?"
The purple snake happily let go of Takeda before slithering up to Natsuki and lightly coiling around Natsuki's hips and shoulders. Natsuki pat the snake lovingly on the head before leaving the room with Mai.
"Everything's fine now. We're gonna take this snake away, so will someone check on Takeda-san," asked Mai to the teacher who nodded.
Natsuki and Mai took the snake to the girls changing room and waited for Shizuru to change back to human-form.
"Shizuru, you shouldn't have done that. You could have gotten hurt," scolded Natsuki half-heartedly. The snake simply stuck out her tongue and sulked.
Not to mention Takeda might have broken some bones Natsuki,but who cares about that guy, Thought Mai silently.
"You don't know how worried I get, do you Shizuru. I fear one day, I might lose you and find you get hit to death or something bad happens to you…" Natsuki sniffs at this and the snake quickly licks her to calm her down.
In a puff of smoke, Shizuru turns back into a human and hugs Natsuki tightly.
"I'm sorry Natsuki. I didn't mean to hurt you like that; I guess I just got carried away again."
"Don't do that anymore, promise?"
"I promise."
Shizuru kisses Natsuki softly on the lips and Natsuki recuperates by kissing back.
These two totally forgot I'm in the room, didn't they.
Thought Mai as she averts her eyes from the hot scene in front of her. Hello, hot, nude Student Council President snuggling hot ice princess. She coughs, and it breaks the moment. Natsuki blushes bright red and tries to escape from Shizuru's embrace whilst Shizuru tightens her embrace.
