Author's Notes: I forgot to mention this in the last chapter, but I do not own either Fruits Basket or Skip Beat. If I did I probably wouldn't be writing fan fiction about them… well maybe I would just to mess with people, but then it would be in Japanese, which I won't pretend to be fluent in, for if I did the heavens would cry and a bolt of lightning would strike me where I type, which would be labeled under Very Bad, especially since the dorm I live in has been on fire far too many times already, besides we don't really need another residential ghost. Though haunting the freshmen does sound fun… not that I'm getting any ideas or rambling or anything.
Hereditary Traits Chapter 2
Reino eyed his cousin with caution as she seemed to consider his circumstance.
"I do find myself curious as to the nature of this 'Little Red Riding Hood.' To have caught your interest she must be quite intriguing, or possibly very unfortunate. I shall have to pay you a visit, if only to keep you out of too much trouble." Saki smiled in that vacant way of hers that seemed to promise mischief and retribution. Reino hated when she smile like that, it never meant anything good for him.
"I would think that you'd be too busy helping out at that dojo you work at. Though for someone like you to do something as menial as cooking, I can't help but wonder why." Reino asked, not curious but instead he wanted to turn the conversation away from himself.
"Kazuma, the master, is a hunk." Reino raised his eyebrow in surprise, this was not the sort of thing Saki usually bothered with.
"Is he your Little Red Riding Hood?" Reino smirked at the thought of some poor man in a red cape cowering from Saki; she, like him, could only ever be the Big Bad Wolf.
"Hmm, perhaps he's more the Hansel to my Witch. I am doing the cooking after all. Which would make Kyou Gretel," Saki snorted, "And that is indeed an interesting image."
"Kyou? My my cousin aren't you the devious one to have two playthings at the sametime." Reino leaned towards Saki with a lecherous grin on his face.
"I would say I learned from the best, but that would just be untruthful now wouldn't it?" Saki fixed Reino with a look that wasn't quite a glare but just as intimidating. "Kazuma is not a plaything."
"I see, and what of this Kyou?"
"What about him?" Saki smirked, "Let's just say he not my plaything, at least not in the sense you mean. In the sense that it is, he's not only my plaything. Unlike you Reino, I learned to share when I was young."
"Indeed, well I never could get the hang of it. Sharing that is, I do so like to posses things completely." Saki considered this for a moment.
"Then I feel quite a bit of pity for your Little Red. I do believe I shall play the white knight and rescue the maiden from your clutches. Expect to see me in a week or so, in any case I have a friend I wish to visit in that direction. Prepare yourself; I won't call before I visit. Technology does not suit me." With that Saki swept away towards the nearest food platter. Reino stared after her in bafflement. Rescue or no, things will soon become very interesting and he had yet to decide whether he liked it or not.
