Nanami's POV

"Nanami! Wake up! You're going to be late for school!" I roll over, and say, "5 more minutes" Mizuki comes over, and pulls the covers away from my body, exposing me to the cold morning air.

I sit up annoyed, "Come on Mizuki, I just want to sleep 5 more minutes." Mizuki pulls me from my bed, and forces me to get changed. Once I'm in my uniform, I'm already on the back of Mizuki snake, and on my way to school.

I still go to school everyday, or almost everyday. I'm still not a bright student, but I try. Kurama helps me get through the day by taking me to each class, and by waking me up when I fall asleep. Since Tomoe doesn't go to school with me anymore, Kurama has become my protector at school. I tried to hide my pregnancy from the students, but now my stomach has gotten so big that rumors are quickly spreading around the school.

I won't be able to come to school when the students are made aware of my situation. Mizuki lands on the roof of the school, and wishes me a good day. He flies off back to the shrine where he performs his duties as the shrines's familiar. I walk inside the school, and I run to my homeroom class. I make it just before the bell rings, and I take my seat in my usual spot by the window.

"Miss Momozono can I speak to you in the hallway please?" I look up at the teacher, and I quickly get up, and meet her outside the classroom.

"Yes teacher?" I ask her.

"Nanami are you pregnant?"

My face shifts from happiness to sadness. I don't have the voice right now to say yes, so I just nod my head. She puts her hand on my shoulder, and tells me I'm going to be alright.

I choke on the oncoming sobs, but I ask her, "May I please be excused for the day?"

She nods her head, and I quickly leave the school. I practically run back to the shrine, where I am greeted with Mizuki, who is watching some kind of drama on TV. He looks at me when I walk through the door, and asks "What happened?"

I look up at him, "The school knows my secret, so I don't think I'll be returning to school anytime soon." I take a seat next to him on the floor, and I then look at him suspiciously, "Aren't you supposed to be cleaning the shrine today?"

Mizuki backs away in terror, and swiftly runs outside to fulfill his daily duties. I laugh, but then I wonder, "Why is Mizuki watching these sad dramas in the first place!"

I lay back, and soon find myself watching the show myself. An hour later, Mizuki walks in the shrine proudly "I finished all my chores! Aren't you proud of me Nanami!"

He walks over to me, and puts a hand on my shoulder, "Na-nanami?".

I turn to him with tears running down y cheeks. I blow my nose into a tissue, and cry out, "WHY DID YOU LEAVE HIM YUKI! HE WAS SO PERFECT FOR YOU!"

Mizuki walks in front of me, and asks "I'm going to guess you started watching my TV soaps."

I look up at him and nod my head yes, he soon takes a seat next to me and says, "Isn't this show the best, I love Yuki so much, she is truly an inspiration!"

I hug him, because I found someone who understands my passion for TV soaps. Even though I just started watching them only an hour ago.

Soon I notice that it's almost dinner time, and I promised Himemiko that I would go out for dinner tonight! I quickly make my way off the now tissue-covered floor, and run to my room.

I dig through my drawers, and I pull out a simply baggy shirt, and a pair of jeans. I quickly put them on, and soon I'm out the door.

I run into Kurama on my way down the stairs leading to the shrine, and when I mean 'run into Kurama'. I mean I literally knocked him down, and together we fall onto the ground. Kurama protects me by throwing his own body to the ground first, and I land right on top of him.

Once he gets up, he helps me off the ground asking if I'm alright. I nod my head, but soon realize how late I'm going to be. I go to run off, but Kurama stops me before I can even take a step. "Nanami are you going to go see Himemiko tonight?"

I stop dead in my tracks, "Yep, I'm actually on my way to see her right now."

"I'm coming with you" he tells me.

I look at him curiously, "Why?"

Kurama blushes, "I need to speak to her about you."

Once again I eye him suspiciously, "What about me?"

"You'll find out when we get there."

I walk with Kurama all the way to the restaurant I'm supposed to meet Himemiko at, and when we reach it, I run inside, and quickly run to Himemiko.

Himemiko eyes widen in excitement, "Hi Nanami, how are you feeling?"

I smile, "I couldn't be any better!"

Himemiko turns her head to Kurama, who just walked into the small shop. "Oh, I see you brought a friend to dinner today."

Kurama gets between me and Himemiko, but soon he whispers something in Himemiko's ear. Himemiko stands, and walks with him outside of the restaurant. I walk to the door, but I turn my body in such a way that my body is out of sight.

I listen, but I can only pick up a few words, "We have ... tell her tonight" that was Kurama.

Soon I hear Himemiko, "Alright I understand, but ...about the snake."

Kurama soon says, "Don't worry he'll ... here soon."

I soon hear their footsteps come towards me, so I quickly run back to the table, and act as if I didn't hear anything.

Himemiko sits next to me, but her face is much more serious. Kurama leans on one of the chairs, and says "Nanami we have something to tell you."

Boom! cliffhanger! I'm so sorry, but I figured this was a good spot to end it. Please leave a review, and as always ~Thank you for reading ^-^
