A/N: I'm on a roll today! I finished Chapter 2 in the same day! I probably wouldn't update until I finish my finals (Start of finals: 17 Oct), but I'll try to store as many chapters as I can.

Disclaimers: I don't own any of the Skip Beat! characters. I do own my own characters though. Sorry for the OOC. To be honest, I can't really stick to a certain personality, so let me apologize beforehand.

Please enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 2: Red Riding Hood

It was the usual day for Kotonami Kanae, with her nearly being assaulted by a flying Kyoko early in the morning just after she changed into her retina-burning hot pink overalls, followed by a polite greeting from smiling Chiori.

"Moko-san, Amamiya-san, do you have anything on tonight?" Kyoko asked as she pulled up the zipper of her overalls.

Kanae eyed her best friend (not that she's going to admit that aloud) skeptically while Chiori shot a curious look, "Why?"

"I thought it would be fun if we go shopping together once in a while."

Chiori scratched the back of her head as she smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Kyoko-san, I have to shoot a PV tonight."

At the word, Kyoko looked at the third LoveMe member cautiously, "Whose PV are you shooting for?"

"Fuwa Sho."

Kyoko's dark aura and demons erupted from her body in that instant, making the other two girls back up in surprise and fear.

Damn you, Shotaro! If you dare to lay a finger on Amamiya-san, I'll—

"Mo! Stop that will you! Are you going to bother listening to my answer?!" Kanae decided to help out, even if it'd be embarrassing later, "I'm going, okay?"

As suddenly as those came out, they disappeared, replaced by the usual I-love-you-Moko-san-look as she hugged the older girl with so much enthusiasm that Kanae had to shove her away to breathe properly.

As if on cue, there were polite knocks tapping against the metal door of the room. All three of them stared at the door as if it was the most foreign object they'd ever seen in their whole life.

Nobody would knock on the door so politely.

Being the bravest, Kyoko approached the door and opened it.

Her golden eyes grew as wide as saucers when she saw the pair of blue topaz eyes, and then the name she thought she would never call out in public escaped her lips as a whisper, "Corn?"

Tilting his head to a side, the boy blinked in puzzlement, "You want to eat corn?"

"Eh?" Kyoko snapped out of her trance and took a step back, only to see a pair of fluffy, ochre twitching and pointed wolf ears protruding from the boy's neck-length hair.

"EHHH?!"

The screams came from the other two LoveMe members (which was very rare for Kanae), who were watching their bravest friend open the door to reveal a pretty boy with wolf ears and wolf tail from the room.

Scratching his ear, Shion cringed at the high pitched screams, and immediately stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

"It's nice to meet you ladies, I am Shion." He introduced with a sweet smile.

Kyoko's special 'Tsuruga-anger-antennae' shot up from her head, and she took another step back from the mysterious boy.

He's angry! Why?!

Shion sniffed the air, his ears twitching and flicking, before he bent to bury his nose against the crook of the orange haired girl's neck, inhaling her scent.

Kyoko tried and failed to stop a blush from spreading across her face as she stumbled backwards and collided into her friends, who caught her before she fell on her bum.

"Hm, so you're the Red Riding Hood?" Shion gave a friendly smile, his equally fluffy tail wagging slightly.

At the term used, Kyoko regained her composure and upgraded her defenses by sending her little demons to surround the boy, who seems to be able to see them.

"Do you know the Beagle?!" Kyoko questioned warily.

Tilting his head to a side again, Shion shrugged, "I'm not interested in them*."

"Don't you play dumb you—" Kyoko let her mouth agape and was at loss for words when she finally took in the boy's appearance.

"A-Are those real?" Kyoko pointed a quivering finger at his ears and tail.

"Hm? Of course—"

"Oh my god, they are real! Are you a fairy?! Do you know of the Fairy Prince?!" She started squealing with sparkling eyes.

Kanae and Chiori exchanged odd looks. Sure, they knew that Kyoko has the habit to wander into her fairy la-la-land at every little thing, but what kind of fairy has ears and tail like that?

Finally holding her still with arms around her waist after hearing her squeals and seeing the blur of hot pink twirling around him, Shion growled at her, "You talk too much, little Red!"

All three girls froze at his sudden outburst, though Kyoko once again failed to suppress another blush from emerging since she's held up two feet into the air with her palms resting on his shoulders.

The door slammed open, revealing Ren with Yashiro standing behind him, mouth agape.

"Mogami-san?"

*He's actually talking about the real beagles, you know, the puppies/dogs.

Please R&R! :D
