Monkey See, Puppy Loves

Pairing: Inugami x Sarutobi

Genre: Humor/Romance

Disclaimer: I do not own Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san or any of its characters.

Author's Note: Hello, everyone! Yuri's back~! Now, I kinda know what you're thinking: this pairing is NOT really…as great as the canon pairing, but if you know me well enough, my motto for yuri pairings for shows I know well enough: "Let's Mix it up a little~!"

That's what this AU is for anyways. Besides, we see a lot of silly bickering from those two and Inugami being friendly to Sarutobi. So it's not all that bad.

Ummm…and also, this category really lacks stories, so I decided to write another one of these finally.

Enjoy~!

Inugami Yachiyo. A dog-like girl who is very energetic, cheerful and is one of the honors students here at the school. Sure she loves to play around all the time, but surprisingly, she keeps her grades up top notch at every subject. To this day, even her best friend, Aki Hiiragi, is a bit surprised by this, despite her limitless energy. People adore her because of her behavior, thus having to make lots of friends other than Aki.

Like right now, the entrance exams ended a couple days ago and the scores are posted today on the bulletin board. Inugami and Aki take a look at the board and sure enough, Inugami's on top of the record. Amazing, isn't it?

"Inugami…" Aki says. "I really have no idea how you even do this despite your hyper behavior."

"Ahhhh, it's no biggie~" Inugami says as she gives a thumbs up. "Tests, physical activities, I can do it all with my eyes closed~!"

"Sure you do…" A quiet girl named Nezu Mikine says, who is next to her. She's her classmate.

"You got in the middle, Nezu-san?" Inugami says as she searches for her name. "Ah, yes. At least you passed."

"Just barely…" the petite girl says. "I had Sempai help me with some studying."

"Ushiwaka-sempai's so nice~!" Inugami says.

"Should I walk away now?" Aki says to herself.

**Later**

The dog-like girl stretches out her arms while walking home from school that day with Aki and Nezu walking along with her.

"Sempai's got something to do today," the quiet girl says. "So that's why I'm walking with you two. By the way, Aki-san, what score did you get for the exams?"

"Same as before," Aki replies. "Not as good as Inugami's though."

"Ahaha~!" Inugami giggles and pats her best friend on the head. "You'll get it next time, don't worry~"

"You do remember that those exams are just a step closer to the real big exams coming before the spring," Aki informs. "So, don't get so over confident right now."

"Ahhhh, no biggie, no biggie~!" the dog-like girl says and then clasps her hands together at an idea. "Say! Since we're on that subject, how about all of us study together with Ushiwaka-sempai included sometime~?"

"That would be lovely~" Nezu nods in agreement.

"Guess I don't see why not," Aki replies, shrugging her shoulders.

"Yay~! I love you girls!" Inugami hugs both Aki and Nezu at the same time.

Yep. This is the life of Inugami Yachiyo, the dog like girl with huge amounts of energy, but still gets good grades.

**Months Later**

As if time has flew by, the entrance exams for the spring is just around the corner. Which means study time for the week before the real test begins. As promised, Inugami invited Aki, Nezu and Ushiwaka to her home to have a study party and brought some tea and snacks as offering.

"Whoo~!" the dog-like girl cheers as she sits next to Aki. "I'm on fire today~!"

"So cheerful even at night," Ushiwaka says softly.

"You do remember that this is a STUDY session," Aki says. "Get to work."

"Alright, alright," Inugami groans as she grabs her pencil.

For a half-hour, the others do their studying, reviewing the problems that are going to be on the real test, helping each other out and such. Things got peaceful around here. And another half-hour passes when Inugami finishes and looks up at Ushiwaka and Nezu helping each other finish another problem with Nezu getting everything that the busty senior is helping her with. The brunette's eyes sparkle as she rests her head on her hand.

"They look so cute together~" she swoons.

Aki looks over at her friend. "You ship those two?"

"Absolutely~!" Inugami gives a thumbs up again.

"Figures…" the dark haired girl deadpans as she sips on her juice. "She's a yuri girl after all…"

When everything is finished, Nezu is already tired and sleeps on Ushiwaka's lap while the busty senior gently strokes her hair and looks up at Inugami.

"Saving up energy for the big day, huh?" the dog-like girl says.

"I bet," Ushiwaka says. "The next few days are going to be stressful. You sure you got this, Inugami-san?"

"I'm so sure! Besides, I can do this in a heartbeat."

"There you go, being overconfident," Aki mutters as she turns a page from her book.

"Okay, maybe a little overconfident," Inugami says. "But I still got this in the bag~" She stands up and pumps both fists. "I can accomplish anything if I set my mind to it~"

"Fufu~! That's the spirit, Inugami-san," Ushiwaka says.

Aki closes the book. "Well…I wish you all luck on your exams tomorrow."

"Oh, same to you, Aki-chan~!" Inugami says. "I'm sure we're ALL going to do well for this upcoming exams~!"

**Later After Exams**

Just when this feels like forever, the exams are all done and over with and everyone is getting their Spring Break for the week. Inugami is so excited that she invited all her friends out to go celebrate by going karaoke. Aki didn't feel like singing, but the rest of them sang their hearts out until their throats hurt. Then, they went to a restaurant to get some refreshments and eat dinner. All in all, everyone had a good time until they had to go.

For the rest of the week, Inugami and friends spent the break having fun and traveling to wonderful places like museums, aquariums and amusement parks. A great way to celebrate after completing the exams. And Inugami feels really happy about it.

Sadly, when the week starts to end and tomorrow school starts, Inugami isn't as excited, but what she is looking forward to is the results from the exams she took a week ago. Like right now, tonight at dinner, while eating with her parents her three puppies are eating their meal, Inugami is in her usual happy mood.

"I see you're excited for school tomorrow," her mother says.

"I just can't wait to see the results for the exams tomorrow," Inugami replies.

"I see," her father says. "As far as I can see, you've been doing very well, Inugami. I'm sure the results will be the same this year."

"I hope so~" Inugami says, giving a thumbs up. "We'll keep our fingers crossed!"

"We'll be counting on it, dear~" her mother says with a smile.

**Next Day**

Everyone is gathered around the bulletin board, just so eager to see the results for their exams. They try to come closer while pushing each other around to get a better view. Fortunately, Inugami, Aki and Nezu are in the front, so they have no problem trying to go through the crowd. They try and search for their names on the board. Nezu finds hers first.

"Oh, I'm 6th," she says. "Hmmm…not bad. Better than being in the middle of all of the student body."

"I'm right on top of you, though," Aki says. "I bet Ushiwaka's higher than that."

"Not as high as mine~" Inugami says, pointing to her name. "Look! I'm on top again~"

"Ummmm…Inugami? Maybe you might want to take a look again…" Aki says.

"What do you mean?" the dog-like girl looks over at the board again and sees that she's indeed on top, but…just second. "Wait a minute. I'm second. That can't be right. I'm so sure I aced the test."

"Who's at the top then?" Nezu asks.

Inugami looks up at the board again. "Huh?! Sarutobi-san!?"

And as if on cue, a brown haired girl with glasses steps up and looks up at the board. "Hmph. You should know that I'm the most hard working. We may be classmates, but I just don't like you, Inugami-san." She points to the dog-like girl. "So therefore, I placed top just to beat you. Looks like I won."

"Now hold on," Inugami says, waving her hands back and forth. "I never looked at it as competition. I just took the test like any other normal student would do. I know I'm sort of a lazy girl here, but it's true that I would ace every test without breaking a sweat."

The girl, Sarutobi, crosses her arms and walks closer to her. "I can see that. But you always get on my nerves, so I had to figure out some way to get my confidence back. You have no idea how hard I studied to get to the top like this."

"You must be really good, then~" Inugami says and then takes her hands in hers, making the brunette blush suddenly. "Don't worry, little monkey~! All that hard work paid off~!"

"Eh!?" Sarutobi would have expected at least a negative reaction from this puppy, but instead is just a praise. "Y-you mean you aren't even fazed by my ranking!?"

"Why wouldn't I~?" Inugami shrugs. "Sure I'm disappointed, but at least I didn't fail. That's all that matters~"

Wh-what's with this girl!? Sarutobi thinks. She's insane!

"Hey, hey! Wanna come over to my house today~?" Inugami offers. "I'm sure Mom and Dad would love to meet you~!"

"Wait a minute, we're not even friends!" Sarutobi protests.

"We are now~" the dog-like girl cheers. "Besides, we're classmates, so it's okay~"

The monkey-like girl blushes and slightly turns her head away. It's not going as she planned. "All I wanted to do is humiliate you…"

"And that's just mean~" Inugami points out. "But still, both of us passed our tests, so there's nothing to worry about anymore~"

"Right…"

**Later**

"I'm home~!" Inugami calls as she enters her home with Sarutobi behind her.

"Welcome home, dear~" her mother steps up toward the front. "Your father won't be home until late. Oh! Who is this? A new friend of yours?"

"You bet~!" Inugami says. "This is Sarutobi Sora-san! My classmate! Oh! I passed the test, but got in second because Sarutobi-san got in first!"

"Oh, that's great!" her mother cheers and walks up to the two girls and looks at the brunette in glasses. "It's an honor to meet you, Sarutobi-san! You seem like a very smart girl indeed~! You can stay here as much as you like!"

"R-really?" Sarutobi is quite surprised by Inugami's mother's behavior. Probably got taken from her cheerful personality.

"Of course! Oh! Since you two seem to get along so well, why don't you sleep in Inugami's room, Sarutobi-san~?"

"Really!? She can do that!? You're the best Mom~!" Inugami cheers.

"Ehehe~! I know I can be~" the mother replies with a giggle.

This is all happening waaaaay too fast… Sarutobi thinks.

**Later**

"This is your room?" Sarutobi asks as both she and Inugami walk inside.

"Yup, it sure is~" the dog-like girl says as she gestures her three pups inside as well. "Please, make yourself at home. And I apologize if one of my dogs jump on you. All of them are very friendly, you see~"

"Just like you are?" Sarutobi deadpans.

"Exactly~!"

The brunette in glasses takes a look around for a moment. The bed is sure big enough to fit two people, especially if her dogs decide to sleep with her. The books are all organized and her desk is next to it.

"Seems pretty decent," Sarutobi says. "You actually take care of your things pretty well."

"Ehehe~! Thanks for your praises~" Inugami says.

"Although…" the monkey-like girl's eyes wander until they catch a sight of white panties on the floor. "You are almost very tidy. Why are your panties on the floor anyways?"

"I'm a bit panicky when I'm under pressure~" Inugami says, rubbing the back of her head nervously. "Like oversleeping basically when it's a school day."

"I see." Sarutobi picks up the panties and examines them. "You sure these fit you? They seem a bit small."

"Nah, I'm okay with those." Then, Inugami grins and leans closer to her classmate. "Are you so interested in my panties that you want to smell them as well~?"

"Huh!? Where did that come from all of a sudden!?"

"You picked them up, so it's clear you wanted to do something with them~"

"There's absolutely NO WAY I'm doing such ridiculous things such as sniffing your panties!"

"Awwwww, Sarutobi-san's angry that she doesn't have good panties like mine~"

"That's NOT what I'm saying!"

Inugami just laughs. This girl is very entertaining to her and she's never had people like this in such a long time. Other than her happy family, this girl is really something. So serious, so diligent, so smart. Inugami is very sure she'll get along just fine with Sarutobi.

A/N: And that's all…for now. I just felt like doing this just because those two amuse me. Hehe~! Long and detailed reviews please!

Have a nice day~!
