Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Kyo's Kitten Reika ❯ Night Before IT Happens ( Chapter 10 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Reika placed her drawing on the desk and went over to the door when she heard a knock.
 
“Who is it?”
 
“Is that how you always answer the door?”
 
Reika opened the door and gave Hiro a hug; the now fourteen-year-old boy hugged her back and followed her to the couch. “Where's Haru?”
 
“He's in Kyo's room sleeping.”
 
Hiro looked at his cousin and smirked. “And what did you do to him?”
 
“Nothing.”
 
Hiro's grin grew wider. “Reika, there are a few things I need to teach you…”
 
A few minutes later, Hiro and Reika stood in front of a sleeping Haru.
 
Hiro took the whipped cream and honey mix and put a huge glob of it on Haru's hand, then, Reika handed Hiro a feather duster and watched silently as Hiro tickled Haru's nose.
 
Haru's hand, with the sticky mixture, smacked into Hatsuharu's face, causing the cow to wake up. Hiro grabbed Reika's hand and made a mad dash out of the room.
 
“That is only a small portion of the things you will be learning from me today, but before Haru comes out here you need to do something.”
 
“Like what?”
 
“Pretend you didn't do it.”
 
“That's lying.”
 
“No, just don't say you did it.”
 
“Lying.”
 
Haru walked into the living room and Reika started to laugh. If you saw Haru, I'm sure you'd laugh to.
 
“Hiro, leave.”
 
Hiro smirked. He was sure that the only reason he was leaving was because Haru was mad. Hiro hugged Reika and walked confidently out of the apartment.
 
“And to think we wanted him to stop his sly remarks, now we have a damn trickster.”
 
Haru went into the bathroom to wash up and came back out to find Reika asleep on the couch.
 
_-_-_-_-_- Day Before the First Day of School _-_-_-_-_-
 
Ever since Haru moved in, Kyo and Reika shared a room. Haru got Reika's old room because Kyo's had more room.
 
Kyo helped Reika pack for school; Kyo had the list in his hand while Reika arranged the stuff. The backpack was an old one of Kyo's from when he was in high school.
 
Amazingly, the backpack was in mint condition.
 
1 pack of 24 crayons
1 pack of thin markers (basic colors only)
24 pencils
1 bottle of Elmer's glue (Do NOT bring colored, school, or glitter glue)
1 pair of scissors (preferably safety scissors)
1 folder with 2 pockets
2 spiral notebooks
 
“All done!”
 
Haru walked into the living room and set his bag by the door.
 
Reika's uniform was set out and she was excited.
 
“Do I know anyone at the school?” Kyo rolled his eyes. If school was like it was when he was in first grade, she'd be coming home in an angry rampage.
 
“Haru, Hiro, Kisa, and I think Momiji will be there, but they're at a different part of the school. Bath time.”
 
“I'm too tired.”
 
“Come on.”
 
Reika pouted slightly but gathered her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Kyo slumped onto the couch. Tomorrow he had the day off and he decided to see Kazuma and see if he could get a job at the dojo. Anything would be better than his work now. Even McDonalds!
 
Haru walked over to the couch and sat down. Tomorrow promised to be a big day.
