Little Bunny Foo Foo is a children's poem, involving a rabbit harassing a population of field mice. The rabbit is scolded and eventually punished by a fairy. Like many traditional folk songs, there are multiple versions with differing variations.
It is also known under the alternative name Little Rabbit Foo Foo; "Foo Foo" is sometimes spelled as "Fu Fu". The poem is sung to the tune of "Down by the Station" (1948), and melodically similar to Itsy Bitsy Spider and the popular French-Canadian children's song "Alouette" (1879).
The rhyme is usually sung by an older person to a younger child, using a repetitive tune that reinforces the meter, accompanied by hand gestures.[citation needed] In this mode of transmission, it is a form of tickle play that teaches and reinforces motor skills, often passed as childlore.
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Hopping through the forest,
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head.
Azusa stood there, knife poised over his wrist as he stared at the person who had just wandered into the School's Kitchen. He had snuck off to refresh his scars because he felt in the last few months he had been ignoring his friends. A fact none of his brothers liked, with Ruki always taking him to task by yelling at him instead of physically correcting him. And normally being caught wouldn't have him feeling awkward.
But as he stood there staring at this strange girl, noting that she was not wearing the school uniform, but a rather form-fitting, revealing attire. Only to blink his gray eyes as the girl tilted her head to the side, causing her long black hair to slip over her shoulder, revealing silver cross-shaped earrings in her ears as she smiled softly. Her eyes not condemning him, making him feel worthless, rather an understanding shining in them as she looked at his exposed left arm.
"I understand. It helps keep the memories alive, both good and bad. Validating our existence."
Hearing her softly spoken words, heavily accented, Azusa couldn't help but feel as shock course through his body, mind hardly able to register what she had said that she understood what and why he was doing. Slowly lowering the knife to the countertop, he let his gray gaze pierce her. Not quite sure why he couldn't ask the questions he had formed on the tip of his tongue. Before he watched as she smiled brightly at him, her face flushed a light pink across the bridge of her nose, just before she stiffened and looked nervous.
"Have a good day. Maybe... I will see you again."
With that, he watched as she spun quickly, her heeled boots beating a quick, yet strangely quiet, beat on the tiled floor as she left. Her long black hair was swaying back and forth. Leaving him curious and now alone in the kitchen.
And down, down, down came the Good Fairy, and said:
"Little Bunny Foo Foo
I don't want to see you
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head.
I'm going to give you three chances,
And if you don't behave,
And then, I'm going to turn you into a…GOOOOOON!"
A smug grin crossed pink lips, drawing raised eyebrows from the two vampires who just entered the room. They hadn't felt anyone in the gym, so of course, they'd come right on in, glaring at each other. Quickly though, after seeing the tall blond girl standing in the middle of the basketball court, not wearing a school uniform, they had stopped. Every day was the same thing for them, skipping the first period to hang out in the gym and play some basketball.
It was sort of a ritual that had started occurring after their two families had agreed to team up to protect Yui from the First Bloods initially. Having found some commonality between them. A love of sports. And at that moment, a person being in the gym was an inconvenience to them since they had also come to discuss something important. Of course, at Ayato's insistence.
"Well, this is a nice surprise. Didn't expect to see anyone here after being told this room was not used for the first class of the day."
The two were drawn from their inspection of the blond, eyes narrowing at the same time. Her words were somehow managing to irritate them, as they noted that the words were accented. And from the way the smug grin on her face grew more prominent, she knew it. She was drawing a growl from Yuma, as he stared directly into the girl's eyes, hands curled into a fist before relaxing while Ayato looked up at her curling his lips into a matching smug grin.
"Well, then you heard wrong. Why are you here?"
The deep husky laugh Ayato got in reply as she lifted a hand and waved it as if to dismiss his question. Though he saw the slight straightening of her posture as she suddenly stopped laughing. Her face turned into a thoughtful mask, while the smug grin morphed into something naughty.
"Exploring, but I think I shall go. I don't want to interrupt the personal time you came for. Though it is a shame since you are both good looking."
Yuma noted the gleam in her eye as she turned and walked towards the other door. His brown eyes were snapping wide as she growled in anger at the hidden meaning in her words. She was glancing down as he felt Ayato's aura spike dangerously. Letting him know he had caught onto what she was hinting at, before erupting, loudly.
"Yours truly isn't like that!"
The words Ayato bellowed echoed through the now empty gym as the doors swung shut behind the blond girl. Silently he agreed with Ayato; he wanted to go after the girl and force her to take it back. But since they were at school, he knew he'd be in serious trouble if he attacked another student, let alone a human one.
"Ayato, we can deal with her later. What did you need to talk to me about?"
His words were drawing Ayato's attention back to him as he continued to glare at the door. His mind told him that there was something strange about that girl.

Reiji was staring at Ruki as he seemed to process what he had just been told. He didn't have a whole bunch of information. Still, there was enough to inform another person about the possible nefarious plotting his father was doing, again, and with the help of another person. A mystery man, that if Reiji had to take a logical guess at, would be the man that had talked to Yui yesterday. Giving her a somewhat cryptic message.
The soft sigh from Ruki drew him from his thoughts as Reiji looked at his companion. He was seeing the anger flashing in the depths of his gray-blue eyes, while he kept his face neutral.
"I don't understand it all. But, I am assuming you have your brothers informing my own about this?"
Reiji nodded his head once, never letting his ruby eyes move from the male before him. He was well aware of what Ruki was capable of when he needed to be. The man was just as much a sadist, and of his caliber, though he did tend to still have a bit of a softer side from his human years. A weakness that could be exploited if he needed too.
"Yes, Ayato has Yuma, Subaru Kou. None of them wanted to inform Azusa. Especially Kanato, who still wants to kill him for what he did to his...teddy."
Ruki nodded his head in understanding. Azusa was unique and disturbing all in one go. Azusa for him and his brother was the same as Kanato and his Teddy for the Sakamaki's. Meaning he would have to find his youngest brother and bring him up to date. Which could be done when they all got home and discussed it together so that he didn't have to deal with the troublesome boy on his own.
"Oh...I didn't realize...anyone was here. Sorry for interrupting; I will...just..go now..."
At the softly spoken words, slightly accented, had both the males turning their heads in the direction it had come from. Catching a glint of black hair as the light caught it before it vanished behind the bookcase. Slowly they looked at each other, faces unreadable as they silently asked the other if they had heard or smelled another person in the library. When each shook their head, they were got up and started to move towards where the person had been.
The faint scent of rain and wildflowers reaching their nose as they turned the corner to the aisle where the voice had come from. Both were opening their senses to find the elusive owner of that soft voice and intriguing scent. Neither being able to feel anyone else in the library with them just as the sound of the heavy wooden doors to the library closed.
Making them look at each other, curiosity showing clearly on their faces. Each knowing that the person was not a vampire, but had somehow moved through the rows of shelves and left before they were able to get to them.
"Well, that is interesting."
"Indeed. Not many people, let alone humans can do that. Completely masking their self, walking that quietly or quickly. I want to know who that was."
With a silent nod of their heads, Reiji and Ruki left the library to look for the mysterious visitor they'd just had.
And down, down, down came the Good Fairy, and said:
"Little Bunny Foo Foo
I don't want to see you
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head.
I'm going to give you two more chances,
And if you don't behave,
And then, I am going to turn you into a…GOOOOOON!"
Kino pushed the door leading to the school's rooftop open, his brother Subaru and the Mukami Kou behind him. Last night after arriving home, there had been a rather lengthy discussion over what Laito had 'inadvertently' heard while 'taking' a walk through the school hallways. Even he didn't know what their father was planning or who the mystery man as though he had gotten an odd vibe from the man who had been with Yui before vanishing.
Subaru was pissed. He didn't want to be up here with Kino (whom he couldn't tolerate at all), and Kou (whom he found was tolerable after learning a bit from the blond-haired vampire while they had searched together for Yui). But that didn't mean he wanted to be the one to explain the newest situation 'that man' was concocting. He wanted to be alone, which was not going to happen. An ultimatum had been given to him, either Kou or Azusa. The latter made his skin crawl after the quite vampire had seen his silver dagger and asked if Subaru would cut him with it.
Kou was just glaring at the back of Subaru's head. He didn't get to come to school very often with his job keeping him busy. Hell, he was technically the money maker in his household, since they only received a limited stipend for their father every month just to get by. And now he had to come up here with the youngest, or rather the second youngest Sakamaki and the newest addition to their family, Kino. The boy was utterly creepy, as was his obsession with killing all vampires. Though he was curious about what this important matter was, so he had come without kicking up too much fuss. That'd ruin his image in front of the female students who were his fans.
As the three of them came to a stop, silence fell between them as if waiting for something to happen. Their attention was pulled from each other as the sound of something tapping on metal rang through the night air. Only go still as they all saw what was a girl from the side profile, as the soft, chilled October wind played with her long blonde hair as she stood on the four feet tall fence railing that 'kept' students from 'falling' off the roof. Her face illuminated by the soft glow of the full moon as she looked up at it. Seemingly oblivious to the three of them.
Each of them took in her appearance from the side, starting at her booted feet to the way sheer black stockings clung to well-toned and very shapely legs, held in place by garter straps, before vanishing into a pleated black and red patterned skirt that barely reached her mid-thigh. While her top was a very form-fitting black halter shirt, showing off the small, soft swell of her breasts. Her arms were mostly bare, except for the fingerless glove that was visible over an elbow length sleeves on her left arm. Around her neck looked to be a collar of sorts. On top of the blond hair sat an odd little headband that was solid black and looked like it could be some type of a tiara. The only jewelry she seemed to be wearing was silver crosses. Of which were earrings, a bracelet, and a small belt at her waist.
"Take a picture; it lasts longer. I believe that is the saying, boys."
Each was starting a bit at the accented spoken words, in a very low feminine voice. Kino was blinking impassively, Subaru looking ready to argue while Kou just smirked at the woman. Who was openly smiling as she spun on the thin piece of metal she was standing on until she was facing them, before bunny hopping off the side to the rooftop. Long blond bangs were covering her eyes as she looked down at them. Before giving a small soft chuckle and walking to the door leading back into the school. Pausing after pulling it open.
"Well, what I am looking for isn't here. Good night boys."
They watched as she walked through the door, a small parting wave of her other hand, which was only covered in the black fingerless glove, along with a matching bracelet. Then they looked at each other, silently asked each other if they knew who she was. Though Kou's face looked thoughtful as let a small smile curved his lips. The smell she gave off, one of spices mixed with something he hadn't smelled in a long time. Sunshine.

Kanato and Yui stood just inside the Home Economics room looking at the girl as she inspected the newest creation that Kanato was almost finished making. Not once had she touched it as they stood there silently for about five minutes watching her. The way her face lit up as she moved slowly in a circle around the dummy was almost comical. More-so when she still had yet to take notice of them standing there.
Yui glanced up at Kanato, trying to gauge his reaction to the girl they were watching. His eyes were narrowed, lips pulled back just enough to show the tips of his elongated canines. But it was the fact that he was not tense, showing any sign of aggression as he watched the girl. The loose hold on his Teddy was proof that he felt no threat at all, even if he had a scowl on his face.
Kanato watched through narrowed purple eyes as the strange interloper inspected his current project. Not once did the girl touch the Dress bust. The look of awe on her face was appreciated, but he could see her lips move as her eyes narrowed a bit as she went thoroughly over the stitches, before widening and mouthing hand done. Letting him know that she had some knowledge, as she moved behind the dress, kneeling carefully to look up under the bottom hem of the short kimono style dress. It was not his finest work; the cloth had been given as a mocking joke of his hobby for his birthday earlier that year.
The cloth was basic cotton and polyester blend, but the large stylized pink peonies on the smokey gray background were lovely to look at. And for the belt that'd tie it close and edging was in a darker pink to offset the paler pink used for the peonies. And making any sort of Kimono was a highly advanced skill since it had to be hand-stitched with delicate care. Cause if you had to pull a stitch, the whole damned thing would be ruined. It took hours and hours to do this.
Both blinked when a soft sigh of evident appreciation escaped the girl as she stopped, back to them. Then spun on the balls of her feet and walked towards them. Kanato was instinctively putting himself before Yui, to show he would not allow harm to her. She was his brother's mate, and it was his job to do so. So, the moment the girl stopped and blinked at him, her head tilting up in acknowledgment.
"I am sorry I was rude and ignored the two of you. But I am thankful for your patience."
As she stood there speaking, Kanato and Yui took this time to look at what the girl was wearing. Both thought it was a very odd outfit. Yui blushed lightly at how form-fitting and revealing it was, while Kanato noted it was well made and of durable material — complimenting her pale skin tone.
On her head of long blue-black hair was an odd solid black tiara-like headband that practically blended in with her hair. From her ears hung dangling silver crosses, which matched the necklace, bracelet, and decorative belt she wore at her waist. There was an odd collar that had a single chain link dangling from its center like it was waiting for a leash. Her shirt was very form-fitting halter top, giving off a good view of an ample bust, before blending into a pleated red and black patterned skirt, that was very short, barely reaching her mid-thigh that had straps creeping out from under the skirt for stocking garters that were holding up the sheer black stockings. At the same time, she wore ankle-high black boots that had two-inch heels. On her right hand and arm was a black fingerless glove and a black sleeve that went to her elbow, while on her left arm, just her hand was covered in a fingerless glove.
When they finished their perusal of her person, they both saw a smile on her lips, curling them up in amusement as her black bangs hid her eyes from view. Only to hear the sound of the bell ringing, telling them that there were five minutes until class started. She was drawing a soft sigh from the girl as she muttered about having to leave and that she hoped to make their acquaintance again soon. Before giving them a small bow at the waist, then standing and walking around them and leaving the room.
And down, down, down came the Good Fairy, and said:
"Little Bunny Foo Foo
I don't like your attitude
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head.
I'm going to give you one more chance,
And if you don't behave,
And then, I am going to turn you into a…GOOOOOON!
And it won't be pretty!"
Laito stood outside the music room with Shu, looking at the door and the person that was standing in it. Neither had heard or sensed another in the room, so when it had been jerked open by the tall blond before them. The words of her rant dying on her lips as she let her gaze openly rake over the both of them, clearly enjoying what she saw, by the way, those pink lips curled into a pleased smirk.
Not missing this golden chance, Laito let his green eyes roam over the woman, noting that she was taller than him, even without the heeled boots on her feet. The way her clothes fit her body told him that she had confidence in her looks as well as in general with the way she cocked her hip to the side. This was most definitely a woman who knew what she wanted and just how to get it. A change from what he was used to.
Shu just stared at the girl, unsure of what to make of her. He could almost feel the confidence she exuded; it was on the same level as Laito, if not Ayato. But he couldn't deny that he appreciated the way her clothes revealed a tall, slender and well-muscled body. Or the way she looked him over like he would be a sweet treat. What had his attention as she and Laito exchanged looking at each other was that he couldn't smell her. She had no scent. Or the fact that they had not felt her in the music room, which was his domain.
He was opening his mouth to ask her what she had been doing when he was stopped, and his attention was pulled towards the cross-section of the hall, where someone was humming Air by Johann Sebastian Bach. Perfectly in tune and with a lovely tone to it, as if they were in love with the very song itself. He was blinking when he heard a pleased hum from Laito, who had an appreciation for classical music as well, even if it was only piano-based.
"Ah, there is what I am looking for."
At those accented words, Shu and Laito looked at the blond as she pushed between them. Her face lit up and happy by the bright smile that made a small dimple appear at the corner on the left side of her lips. They watched as she practically ran, not making a singular sound on the tiled floor of the hallway, only making her more mysterious as they listened as she jumped around the corner, stopping the beautiful humming.
"I knew if I found the music room, you would show up eventually. We need to hurry and go."
If they had been human, both Shu and Laito knew they'd never heard the softly spoken "Okay," followed by a soft, warm chime like a laugh, as they turned to look at each other. Curious as the static sounded through the PA System before the school's principal called for all students to come to the Auditorium for an assembly that hadn't been scheduled.
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Hopping through the forest,
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head.
"That's it."
Then the Good Fairy came down,
And then she turned Little Bunny Foo Foo into a…GOOOOOON!
The two girls continued down the hall as the announcement was made. The blond wrinkling her nose as she heard a deep masculine cough come from before them, as the raven-haired girl by her side snorted as her eyes lifted to meet red-black ones that looked amused yet annoyed. They had technically wandered off after being told to wait in the small office. But it was too be expected; they were curious about this building, or rather a school.
It was all new to them — the concept of an institution of learning where lots of people gathered from all walks of life. And on their adventures through the school's corridors, they had met a few intriguing people.
"You two are impossible; you know that."
At the playful tone as the man tried to chastise them, they looked at each other, not having to speak as they sprinted the short distance to him, wrapping their arms around him before he pulled the shadows up over them. He was whisking them away just as the students started to pour from the classrooms for the assembly.
And the moral of the story is:
"HARE TODAY, GOON TOMORROW"
TBC!
