chapter 4
Days passed by sooo quickly. Tezuka needs to go back to school soon and he's running out of money since the fox kept on asking for meat.
" I have to make sure that she's always full so she will never think of eating me instead." He thought.
He can't even ask for any support aside from his tuition fee. His credit cards were all invalid well, what do you expect? His Grandfather knows that when his cash runs out, he'll come back begging once again but he just really can't go back now.
" I'm going to school so you stay here. got it? " He asked
"No! I told you I have to stay with my bead." The girl protested.
Tezuka sighed in defeat. He knew he'll never win with this girl so he have decided to bring her along. "You have to behave okay? Don't do anything ridiculous or else, they will know your secret."
"Hai! Let's go!" She said enthusiastically.
Being a smart guy, going to school today's isn't about attending class. 1st, he wanted to ask some financial help from his friends. 2nd, he'll try to check some old books on how to get rid of the fox.
upon reaching the school entrance, a lot of people were eyeing the both of them specially the woman. looking so innocent, she's now the center of attention.
"You can't enter the school since you need I.D so you have to wait for me here." He told the girl. This time, even if she doesn't want to stay outside away from her bead, she agreed and sit on the stairs near the school's entrance.
He happily entered the school since he'll be free again even for some hours today from that scary woman outside. On his way to the library, he some students, male students approaching the "now irritated" woman.
"Miss are you okay? If you want we can eat somewhere nearby." One of the boys said.
She looked at him with her dazzling blue eyes , thinking if she will accept the offer or obediently wait for Tezuka to return.
"I'm fine here." she replied.
Instead of leaving, the boys sit beside her and try to start a conversation. Tezuka saw her smiling and it seems like she's enjoying the company of the boys. Without thinking, he went down again to where the girl, now surrounded by boys, is.
"I changed my mind. you'll come with me inside." He grab her hand and drag her inside the school.
The woman can't help herself not to smile. Somehow, she's happy and amused about the young man's reaction.
"I thought I am not allowed inside?"
"Yes you are but I have to protect the students from you." He replied defensively.
Ignoring the girl's reaction, he start haunting his friends one by one to ask for some financial help.
"I wonder if you can lend me some money this time. I swear to pay it in several days." He kept on asking the same questions to his friends but no one comply to his plea. It is either, they don't have money or they need it for project or they are broke and so.
"I'm sorry but I don't have any money this time since I payed something for my project." For the 9th time this day, he got rejected. the fox who is now sniffing the man in the simplest way she can, signaled Tezuka that he's keeping a bundle of money in his bag.
Knowing that his so called "friends" lied to him, he felt disappointed and sad at the same time. He let out a deep sigh before the girl start talking to him again.
"why didn't you force him to lend you money. I told you that he had right?" She innocently ask. Sitting on the bench after hours of hunting and pleading, finally they have decided to rest.
"We humans don't get thins by force. They might have reason why and we have to respect it." He calmly replied.
Watching the young man's sad and devastated figure, she start admiring him more. His honesty, kindness and his pride. She gave him a nod and try to console him by rubbing his shoulders.
Tezuka meet the woman's smiling face after he felt a hand rubbing his shoulder. It is something unexpected but it makes him feel better. He gather his strength again and sit properly. "I'm okay now but I'm hungry. Human aren't eating meat everyday so wait for me here while I'm buying some snacks for us okay?" The woman happily nod in return.
While waiting for Tezuka, a basket ball rolled to her feet. she pick it up and look where the ball come from.
"sorry! are you okay?"
The man, which is also one of Tezuka's "friends" who rejected him only few minutes ago, is now in front of her asking if she's okay.
"I'm good. here's your ball."
"Where's Tezuka? Are you his girlfriend? I know he's a rich kid but it seems like he's running out of bucks this time." The man said then stand beside her, settling his right arm around her shoulder. "Why don't you come with me? I'm loaded and we can have some fun today. My treat." the man continue before he start counting his money in front of her.
Now, she's mad. Tezuka told her to respect other people's decision because they also have their own needs but seeing this man showing off his money after he reject Tezuka makes her so angry.
" I don't need it. thanks. Let me return your ball." She said before throwing the ball on his face. Since her strength is just a hundred times higher and stringer that human, that effortless throw for her, makes that man's nose bleed, big time.
Tezuka is on his way back to where the woman is when he saw the scene where his "friend" stumble in fear because of what the woman did.
"what's happening in here?"
"He lied to you! You told me that we have to respect other people's decision because they also have their own needs but this man was showing his money off to me a while ago. He told me that I should come to him because I can't get anything from you." The woman explained what happened.
Tezuka felt his ears twitch. He's mad and disappointed at the same time. He faced the bleeding man and look at him sharply.
"A while ago you told me that you don't have money right? here, you might need this and you don't have to pay it too. it's yours" Tezuka said after throwing his last bills to tha mad before dragging the fox away.
"Hey! Why did you gave him your money? I thought we need more?" The girl asked?
Instead of answering, they just continue walking until they reached the action school. The woman watched how Tezuka let his body fall on his bed. She knew that he's upset. Wanting to lift up the mood, she silently crawl to where Tezuka is and start poking his cheeks lightly.
"hoi, hoi. Tezuka kun... are you okay?" She said with light and childish tone.
He let out a sigh and look at the girl. He realized that she's a real beauty. Despite the fact that she's a wild mystical animal, she's really pretty and harmless. He can't help himself to chuckle because of the thought.
"woah Tezuka kun is smiling!" She start clapping and laughing because she manage to lift him up a bit.
"Neh.. don't be sad. Maybe they aren't your real friend. Being a friend sounds good and I think a friend will stay with your not only in times of need." She said innocently. That's a pure opinion based of what she heard and observe. "I can be Tezuka kun's friend. I will stay here even after you return my bead and.. I will help you as much as I can."
Tezuka can't help to feel happy and.. wanted for the first time. A lot of people want and like him but because he's rich, he's smart , etc, but this time, someoe wanted him because of nothing.
"Hai hai. Because you are being a good girl, I will buy a good dinner for us but, no beef okay? It is not healthy." He saw the woman nodded.
Later that night, They eat dinner at the balcony because he noticed that the woman likes watching the stars and night sky.
"If you want to be friend with other people, you have to exchange information with them. Let's start with the both of us. You tell me what kind of life you had before." He asked while eating. He bought chicken and cans of soda for tonight's dinner.
"Hmm.. it's difficult.. all I know is that I really want to be a human. A real human but other than that.. you may just ask me the things that you wanted to know." She replied while munching her food.
That sounds interesting for Tezuka. Curiosity starts to flood his mind so he decided to ask several questions to her.
"Okay. Aside from having nine tails, what else can you do that normal human can't?"
"I can see things from afar. My hearing ability is also sensitive. I can hear even the smallest sound that an insect made. I can recognize people or thing just by their scents. I have different kind of strength and I don't get tired." She answered.
"How about fear? Aren't you scared of anything?"
"No but when the bead isn't in me.. anou.. water.. I don't like water.."
Well, that's new to him. He grab a bottle of water and show it to her. The woman pouts and get the water from him. "Not this! Not even a fountain, a pool or a shower. I mean a big kind of water.. like ocean and sea.."
" I understand. So now that the bead is in me, you can feel fear because of big bodies of water. Okay! As your friend, I will make sure that you are near the bead." He nodded before handing her a can of soda. She gladly accept it anyway. Soda isn't famous during the time that she's free so out of curiosity, she inspect the can and even shake it before she open it. "Woaah! " Seeing a lot of bubbles bursting out the soda, she tried to lick all of it before drinking the liquid. Feeling a lot of bubbles popping inside her throat.
"This is good! I want more!" She exclaimed.
The both of them continue chatting the whole night before Tezuka fell asleep because of exhaustion. She watched him sleep and make sure that no insect will bite him. "You are more handsome while sleeping. I will stay here and make sure that you are okay." Se said while her fingers brush his hair softly.
