Chapter 4

Some things will never change.

Slam! Meyi crashed her books onto Kitsune's table with no regard for the owner. "Look, Kitsune. I'll be easy on you. I'm saying this because I'm concerned for your welfare!" She flashed a fake smile. "I've noticed, heck, everyone in school's noticed, that you and Sanziko have been spending a lot of time together, ne?"

Kitsune raised an eyebrow at her. Gee thanks. Would you like a lightning or two?

"Now, Sanziko is very popular and really cute. And you, you're, well, (pout) nobody. So try not to get too close or you'll fall in love and then… tsk tsk tsk… bet's over." With that, Meyi flipped her long blond hair and turned to go to her table.

Rrriinnggg!!!

Students came out from all the classrooms, in a hurry to get out of school that day. Kitsune was well ahead of them since she was soon walking by herself outside.

Where are you, Soi? Sanziko looked around the field in vain until he saw her walking home alone with a heavy backpack. He ran up to her in order to surprise her. He grabbed her backpack and carried it for her.

"Hey!"

"Why were you in such a hurry?"

"Nothing." Is this really Nakago? He's carrying my bag? Huh? Strange… but nice.

"So, um, are you heading straight home?"

"Yeah." Baka! Why don't you act more like Soi – more like yourself. Quit restricting yourself! "Unless you want to go somewhere else?"

Whew! I thought she'd just dissed me. "Oh yes! My house is right over there." He gestures with his head since both his hands were carrying his own bag. "Why don't we drop off our stuff so we won't have to carry these anymore?"

"Why, too heavy for you?" Kitsune laughed.

Sanziko couldn't resist touching her lips. She kissed his thumb as it caressed her lower lip. "Laugh more often, would you?"

"If you always carry my bag for me, sure!"

Teasing me, huh? Sanziko tickled the sides of her tummy in response.

Kitsune ran to the house Sanziko had pointed. "Stop it!" Sanziko dropped both their bags on the lawn so he could tickle her more easily. "Stop it, Sanziko! No!" Kitsune's laugh-meshed cries were rewarding for Sanziko.

"You're teasing me now, huh?"

"Stop it! I was just playing!"

"Now I am!"

"Oh! Stop it, I can't breathe!"

Sanziko was now on top of her. (What a site for passers-by.)

Kitsune kissed him and ran her hands down his shoulders, his arms, freeing his hands from her limbs.

Sanziko was under her spell – content with just looking at her.

She touched his face, his hair and smiled. "I guess I don't need Bouchuu anymore."

His eyes widened. "What did you say?"

She stood up and ran to the door, half-hoping to find it unlocked. She turned and saw Sanziko's eyes ablaze.

"You are gonna get it, Soi."

She pulled him to her with her hand on his nape and kissed. Tongues entwined, losing control. Just you and me.

She looked into his blue eyes and smiled, "I just did."
