Chapter 3


There was once a sly old fox with nine tails, who was very curious to know wether his wife was true to him: so he stretched himself out under a bench, and pretended to be dead as a mouse.

Kagome sighed as she thought of all the saturday classes she was going to have to take just so that she didnt fail from absences alone. She tried to concentrate on her math work. It wouldnt do to fail math on top of everything else, but what the heck was a Pythagorean theorem?

briiinnngggggg

saved by the bell...literally. As Kagome tried to slip unnoticed from the classroom she was ambushed by her 'good friend' Yumi.

Then Mrs. Fox went up to her own room, and locked the door: but her maid, the cat, sat at the kitchen fire cooking; and soon after it became known that the old fox was dead, someone knocked at the door, saying,

"Miss Pussycat! Miss Pussycat! how fare you to-day? Are you sleeping or watching the time away?"

"Kagome, I'm so glad your back at school, and I'm not the only one glad to see you. Word is that Hojo-san is going to ask you out." Whoa girl breath. Kagome mentally reminded her friend.

" Yumi, I'm not attracted to Hojo-kun!"

"Are you still in denial over how much you so obviously like Hojo?"Yumi looked at her like she had to heads.

Kagome sighed in defeat. You really couldnt convince Yumi against somthing that she had decided to believe.

Then the cat went and opened the door, and there stood a young fox; so she said to him,

"No, no, Master Fox, I don't sleep in the day, I'm making some capital white wine whey. Will your honour be pleased to dinner to stay?"

He had her trapped. they were standing in the middle of the courtyard with students milling around them . All eager to get home. She mentally smacked herself in the head as she realized he had ambushed her. If she looked over his shoulder she could see Yusuke standing there waiting for her.

"Hojo-kun I'm so sorry to intterupt you but I'm keeping my cousin waiting!" she smiled as she brushed past him. Running up to her Yus-chan she threw her arms around him in a hug, and squeaked as bones popped when he hugged her back. She didnt even notice the redhead beside him.

"No, I thank you," said the fox; "but how is poor Mrs. Fox?" Then the cat answered,

"She sits all alone in her chamber upstairs, And bewails her misfortunes with floods of tears: She weeps till her beautiful eyes are red; For, alas! alas! Mr. Fox is dead."
