Author's Note: So guys I've finally uploaded another chapter. There's one thing that's been bothering me. I've noticed that I always write a chapter on the plot of that episode. Do you think that I should continue doing that or should I just forget about the anime episodes (I'll still keep to the zodiac and characters) and make up chapter's regarding what happens in the anime? Sorry if that was confusing and sorry if this chapter is short.
"Hey Kyo!" I called as I ran past the other students. He turned around and looked at me skeptically. I put my hands on my waist and took a moment to catch my breath. "I was wondering if you wanted to help me study for the upcoming exams?"
"Why-" He stopped himself and sighed."Fine. Come to Shigure's house after school."
"Okay, thanks so much." I smiled. He just turned around and walked away. The school bell rang and everyone headed off to class.
I knocked quietly on Shigure's door. I waited a little while before someone finally opened the door. Shigure stood in front of me smiling.
"Oh Kitsune, what are you doing here?" He asked. I looked around him.
"I'm here to study with Kyo." I said. He laughed and pulled me inside.
"Kyo, your girlfriend is here!" He called. Girlfriend? He's not my boyfriend, Shigure! Kyo came running down the stairs.
"Shut up you damn idiot! She's not my girlfriend!" He yelled at Shigure. I looked down and blushed. Kyo roughly grabbed my arm. "Come on."
We sat down at the kotatsu and took out our books. I helped him for the most most part until we started to study science, my least favorite subject. Science was the whole reason why I was in class B instead of class A. I kept on getting frustrated at myself whenever I got a question wrong. Finally Kyo lightly slapped the side of my head.
"Dummy, stop getting frustrated. I know you're going to pass." He scolded. I pursed my lips. He copied my look. I smiled and put away my books. "Do you need me to walk you home or can you find your way there all by yourself?"
"I can walk home by myself." I said. I turned to my side and coughed a few times. I stood up, thanked him, and walked out of the room. I bowed to Shigure and left.
The sun was just starting to set when I left. For some reason, though, everything felt like it was spinning. I held onto one of the trees to steady myself. I stood there for a few minutes.
"Kitsune, that damn Yuki told me that I should walk you home! Wait, what are you doing just standing there idiot?" Kyo called. He ran up to me. I shook my head.
"I... I'm just... a bit dizzy." I gasped as I fell forward.
"Why do I have to make her leek stew? Why can't you make it for her?" Kyo yelled. I sat up and rubbed my head. Where am I? I looked around the room slowly. There was a small bookcase in the corner, a desk, and instead of sleeping in my bed at Hatori's house I was on the floor covered by a green blanket. I took the washcloth off my forehead. "Fine!"
"Kyo stop yelling." I heard Shigure say. After a few minutes I smelled the disgusting smell of leeks. I pinched my nose. There was a crash and stopping on the stairs. Kyo entered the room carrying a food tray and wearing a gas mask. I tried not to laugh.
"Wipe that stupid look off your face. It's your fault that I have to wear this." Kyo growled.
"You didn't have to bring me here. You could have brought me back to Hatori's house. He set the little tray down beside me.
"Just say thank you." He sighed.
"Thank you." I laughed. I picked up one of the bowls and took the cover off. I gasped at the horrible scent of leeks. "I don't really have to eat this do I?"
"I'm not that bad of a cook!" He yelled. I shook my head.
"No, it's not that. I just hate leeks." I said. Kyo sighed and grabbed the bowl. He roughly set it down and gave me the bowl of plain rice. I ate a little bit before turning back to Kyo. "Thank you."
"Whatever." He said quietly. He sat crisscrossed with one hand on his cheek. He was turned away from me. I took a sip from the glass of water. "Hey. Promise me you wont work yourself too hard. I don't need-er- want you to gt sick again."
"Okay." I replied. I set the glass down and tried to get up. Kyo put his hand on my shoulder and gently pushed me back down.
"I told Hatori that you weren't feeling well so you can sleep here. You should get some rest to get better." He said. He stood up and picked up the tray. When he walked out he turned off the light.
When it finally came time to take our exams I felt like brand new. I finished most of the questions quite quickly until I took the science portion of the test. Kitsune, don't get frustrated at yourself. You'll pass.
Sure enough after I took the exams I didn't fail a single course.
