CHAPTER 7
FRIEND
The next morning, Kayla rushed downstairs as she was ready for her next day of school. She felt so embarrassed yesterday because she now thought all of the crying and feeling sorry for herself was completely pointless. 'When I get to school today, I'll just deal with what others say about me. I'm a normal girl. I'm no different from anyone else. No more crying. I know I can pull this off.' She came into the kitchen with a wide smile on her face, "Dad, good morn…" She was cut off when she saw her father pinning Rouge to the refrigerator with moans of pleasure escaping the bat with every thrust he made. The squirrel made a loud gasp from the sight and felt as though she would faint to the floor. "Gah! Dad!"
The hedgehog and bat heard her shriek of disgust and turned to the girl in embarrassment. "Oh shit!"
"Kayla!" Shadow was so shocked by Kayla catching them, he removed himself from Rouge, making her fall to the floor with a thump.
The bat glared at the hedgehog as she tried to pull her purple skin tight pants up. "Shadow, you jerk! That hurt!"
He looked back at the bat who was sitting on the floor and formed a small smile, "Heh, sorry, babe."
After what she had just saw, she didn't quite know what to say to them now. She noticed that they both looked like they had a few scratches left from their fight from last night. "So uh…you two made up?"
With the help of Shadow, Rouge had finally got off of the floor. "Yup. Your father and I are doing just fine."
With them always fighting and loving each other afterwards, it was hard figuring out if their relationship was in good shape or not. "I see…"
"Sorry you had to see that, sweetheart", Shadow spoke as he still felt ashamed for what she had saw. "You won't see that again. I promise."
Kayla formed a weak smile towards her father. 'Yeah, yeah save it, dad. This isn't the first time I've seen this happen and I doubt if this will be the last.' She waved her hand towards them as she started to walk out the door. "Well, I'm out of here. Bye, dad, Bye, Rouge."
When she left, Rouge turned to Shadow with a smirk, "Poor girl. No wonder she's craving what sex is like. She's been hanging around a pervert like you all and every day."
"Me a pervert? Yeah right! You were all over me after that battle! If anyone, you're the pervert!"
"Heh, whatever you say…" She wrapped her arms around the hedgehog's neck and leaned in so close, her nose was touching his. "…My little pervert."
He formed a seductive smile and wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her into a passionate kiss.
Later, Kayla had made it to school and was at her locker gathering her books for her classes. As she was placing her books in her backpack, she sometimes turned her head a bit to see what Chase and his friends were doing at their lockers which was across from hers in the hallway. All she could see was them standing around laughing. It was as if nothing had happened between them. It still saddened her from the fact that Chase was never serious about her. She sighed sadly as she placed her backpack on her back and closed her locker. She then began to walk down the hallway to her first class until she suddenly bumped into someone.
"Hey there…"
Her eyes widened and knew that she had bumped into a guy because of his voice. She noticed that her face was still on his chest and quickly took it away before she had made him mad. "Oh! I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention to where I was…" When she had looked at the man she bumped into, it was like her entire world had stopped. The man before her was the brown fox and cat hybrid looking down upon her with his warm smile and glistening dark green eyes.
"…Demon girl."
She was still speechless as she was lost in the hybrid's eyes, "…It's…it's you…that boy…"
"Heh, you can call me Taku."
She suddenly remembered him being there to stop her from trying to hurt Chase and blushed in embarrassment. "I'm sorry that you got involved with what happened yesterday."
He had no idea why she was apologizing to him for, "Huh?"
"You must've been scared by my behavior…"
"Scared? By you? Hell no! Looking at you about to beat the shit out of Chase was amazing! I've never seen a chick about to go physical on his ass until yesterday! I think you're awesome!"
She couldn't believe it. In all her life, no one had acknowledged her like that before. She couldn't believe that this moment was finally happening to her. She was so flattered by his compliments, she began to blush deeply. "You…you think I'm…awesome?"
"Fuck yeah! The coolest!" He suddenly placed his arm around her shoulder. "I've always saw and heard about you around the school, but I've never got the chance to know you myself. What's your name?"
With him touching her, it was like she couldn't stop blushing. "Kayla", she spoke in a shy tone.
"Kayla?" He repeated in interest. "I like that name." He removed his arm away from her shoulder and confronted her as the bell for the classes to start rung. "I'm going to be late for class so uh, hey you want to sit with me at lunch?"
She wanted to believe that everything he was saying was a lie and just wanted to toy with her just as Chase did, but it all seemed too real for that. She made a nod agreeing with him, "Uh, yeah I love to."
"Cool I'll see you then."
The squirrel watched as the hybrid ran down the hallway to his class in admiration. 'Taku', she thought. 'Did we...just become...friends?'
A/N:
Taku: Isn't this great, guys? We got another member of the team!
Kayla: Taku...he's so nice to me...
Chase: What! She's fucking around with them?
Kayla: Wha-what's going on? Why is that girl flirting with Taku?
