Chapter Two: Meeting the Folks
Shino walked into his house, carrying a small white bundle of fur in one of his arms and a container with a beetle in the other hand. "Shino, did you find the bug you wanted to find?" Shibi asked. Shino nodded, putting the small bundle of fur on the ground. "What is that?" Shibi asked.
"You'll see." Shino replied. The bundle began to stirr, wondering where her warmth had gone. She opened her blue eyes. Shibi almost jumped when he saw her eyes.
"Oh, Kami, it's a fox apparition. I thought that this one couldn't be caught." he muttered. He began to walk around the small bundle, who sat very still, warily watching Shibi, looking back and forth between Shino and Shibi. She then let Shibi approach.
Shino watched as his father inspected Luna, a small smirk on his face. He almost laughed when Luna licked his hand. "Well, she's friendly." Shibi muttered.
"Can she stay?" Shino asked.
"Yes." Shibi replied, nodding and walking away, "She's your reponsibility, though, Shino." Shino nodded and picked Luna up, heading towards his bedroom. He then put her in his bed. He got a questioning look from Luna.
"Easier this way." He replied, approaching the bed and crawling into it with her.
"Ok." was Luna's only reply. Shino sat up and turned on his light, shocked.
"You can talk?" he asked, eyes wide.
"Yes, but only in my human form, which is about to come out." Luna replied. She then transformed into a pale-skinned, pale-eyed beauty. Shino couldn't help the blush that came to his face. He then laid down, seeing how small Luna was in her human form compared to her fox form with all of the fur and everything. He then went to sleep, Luna soon following afterwards.
Morning
Luna gasped as a blanket was yanked off of her. She yelped as cold air hit her feet and body. She looked for the perpatraitor ansd saw Shino. She growled and transformed, getting under the bed. "Aw, Luna, didn't know you got cold in your human form." Shino whispered, geniunely sorry. Luna only growled slightly. Shino reached under the bed and began to scratch her behind her ears. Luna felt the strange urge to kick her small legs, and she did. She didn't even mind when Shino pulled her out from under the bed. "You like having your ears scratched? How about your belly?" Shino asked, begining to scratch her belly. He kept it up until a woman rushed in, picking Luna up and inspecting her.
"AWWWWW! She's such a cutie. Let's go buy her some clothes for her human form!" she exclaimed.
"Yes, mom." Shino murmured. 'I'd rather have her go around naked, but hey, not in public!' he thought.
Mall
Luna walked around in one of Mrs. Auberame's dresses. She was getting alot of curious stares. She felt tense and wanted to get the hell out of this hellhole they called a mall. She groaned as Mrs. Auberame pulled her into another store, this time, a Hot Topic. She couldn't help but be amazed at the selection. She then saw Mrs. Auberame pick a few midriffs and a few miniskirts. She didn't want to leave, but reluctantly followed Mrs. Auberame to the food court. "You know, you could be the one Shino needs. He's so anti-social. He's got a good career, looks and not even a fiancee." Mrs. Auberame ranted.
"Um, Auberame-san, excuse me for asking, but what do you mean by 'needs'?" Luna asked. Mrs. Auberame smiled, happy she was using her manners, which she recently learned that morning.
"A soulmate, my dear." She replied. She chuckled at Luna's faint blush. She knew Shino really liked her and that she might like him back, but she would give it time to develop. She then saw Shino with a group of friends and motioned for him to come. She smiled when he approached. She then got him to sit next to Luna and smirked at the blushes on both of their faces. She, Luna, and Shino all ate in silence, but it was companionable. They then headed home with Luna's new clothes.
That Night
Shino groaned as Luna got dressed. He'd made it clear that Luna get dressed in front of him, unless she just got out of a shower. He then pulled her to him and they landed on the bed, tickling her. They then started laughing and giggling. They giggled and finally fell asleep, gently hugging each other. They groaned and awoke to a crack of thunder. Luna whimpered and burrowed under the covers. She then felt Shino's gentle hands on her back.
Preview of Chapter Three:
Shino had never seen Luna this scared. He knew it was gonna storm, but he didn't tell his mom for fear of having the trip canceled. He felt her slight muscles tremor and convulse. 'Man, she mst be really scared.' he thought. He then gently pulled her into a tender embrace, 'shhhh'sing' her.
