Thank you to everyone and anyone that reviewed for my first chapter, I really appreciate it! Also, thank you to Hakudoshi-chan for pointing out that Yuki's hair is gray and not actually silver like I stated previously.
Hey everyone! Or....anyone, actually. Who knows if anyone's reading this? But anyway, to anyone who does, THANK YOU!!! I think everyone already knows the disclaimer on this: No, I DON"T own any characters from Fruits Basket. ( I only own Ayako and Miyako.) Alrighty, on with the story!!!!

Ch. 2: Meet the Contestants.
"Welcome to Whiz Quiz! The game show that tests the smarts of today's youth. Now, everyone knows the rules: contestants choose from a list of categories in which they wish to answer questions from. As soon as the question is read, contestants may buzz in to be the first to answer correctly. But if they answer incorrectly, they lose points. Then at the end of each round, the player with the least amount of points is eliminated from the game. Now, let's meet out contestants!" The announcer's voice reverberated off the building's walls and ceiling.
"First, is Ayako Tokamoto. Why don't you tell us about yourself, Ayako?"
"Well, I'm 16 and....um....I'm in gymnastics and dance. I really want to be a cheerleader! Or a veterinarian since I love animals." Ayako smiled sweetly. "That's why I entered this game, to win the grand prize of a $25,000 scholarship!"
"Thank you, Ayako. Next is Hatsuharu Sohma."
Haru looked around nervously upon hearing his name. He didn't really quite hear everything that was just said.
"Uh....."
"Tell us about yourself, Hatsuharu."
"Uh.....well...I'm Haru and I'm on this show because some of my classmates mentioned that I should be. Uh... and to win the scholarship money." Haru blinked, then made a quick bow.
"Oh. Thank you," the announcer said.
He's never going to win that prize if he can't even buzz in to answer faster than his brain can register anything, Yuki thought, feeling sorry for Haru. It wasn't his fault, but he had to admit, black Haru sure had much better reflexes.
"Ah, Kyo Sohma, tell us about yourself," the announcer said.
Kyo looked at the audience, his face like stone. The audience stared back at Kyo in interest until...
"The only reason I'm here is so I can finally beat that damned Yuki at something!" Kyo yelled out. Everyone jumped at his outburst except Yuki who just glared at his cousin.
"Uh...well, thank you, Kyo for that...interesting....ah....yes, well, moving on! Miyako Takami! A word about yourself, please?" The announcer smiled joyfully at the young girl.
"My name is Miyako," she said in a soft, but mysterious voice. Silence.
"Ah, yes, well...another word about yourself, if you please?" Why do I always get stuck with the stubborn kids on this show?!
"I'd like the scholarship money so I can be an artist."
"Wonderful! Now, on to Tohru Honda!"
"Oh...uh...I'm Tohru Honda, uh, but I guess you already know that!" Tohru went into shock mode. "I...I...I...I like to cook.....and clean!" She smiled.
"Great! Now to our last contestant, Yuki Sohma!"
"Hello, I'm Yuki Sohma. Yes, Haru and Kyo are my cousins. I'm also our class president and would like to claim the prize scholarship to attend a good school where I can receive a great education. I'm also interested in the martial arts and gardening," Yuki said smoothly, voice like silk. The whole audience went, "awwww" when Yuki smiled graciously.
"Why, thank you." Anony: (gasp) Yuki!!!
Yuki: Hello. (waves)
Anony: I can't believe you're here! Does this mean that you'll be my muse?!
Yuki: Uh.......
Anony: (screams, breaking a window) THIS IS SO COOL!!! I ALWAYS WANTED YUKI AS MY MUSE!!! HEE-HEE!!!!
Yuki: Wait, I think I want to go back home now. (gets tackled and tied to a chair)
Anony: No you don't. (grins)
A note to my dear readers (if there are any): Be warned that I might not have the next chapter up too soon. I'm REALLY sorry!!! Please blame the writer's block. I'm open to any suggestions, though! Please feel free to suggest things you'd like to see (or read, actually.) I'm still pondering the thought of having any pairings or just leave this to be a comedy. (Although if there were pairings, it would probably be just in subtle hints.) I'd also like to know who people would like to see guest starring! For now, I must think up questions for the game. Now that school's out, my brain seems to have disintegrated. Once again, thank you for reading, thank you for caring! - Anony
