Disclaimer: As always, Kitsune and I own Mizu and her fox-girl pal ,everything else (sadly) doesn't belong to us. We're working on that though...

Finally, a long(er) chapter! (Though that may be because of dialogue...)

Hope I got Jin's accent right here....*meep*

Heart of Ice - Chapter 3

***

Mizu curled up on the couch, unable to concentrate on her book. She just couldn't stop thinking about the morning's events...especially that demon. *His eyes were just like mine,* she realized. *Just like mine...*

"Awww...Mizu's got a boyfriend!" giggled a voice behind her.

"Shut up, Kitsune, Mizu grumbled, rolling over. "Just shut up."

"Ooh! Denial, eh?" The fox-girl snickered."You DO like him, then."

Still mumbling to herself, Mizu hauled herself off the couch and into the kitchen.

Jin eyed his friend oddly. "An' what do ye think yer doin', eh?" he asked.

"Mm?"

The Wind Master nodded toward the other demon's writing. "Writin' the same thing over 'n' over, see?"

Touya blinked. "Oh,er,I am, aren't I?" He laughed nervously.

"Aye." His companion was remarkably silent for a moment, then said, "She was pretty, eh?"

"How did you...?"

"'Ow? Hah! With you walkin' 'round like that, couldn't be anything but. Yer smitten with the girl, all right. Don't s'pose ya got 'er name, what with all yer starin' an' all..." The readhead laughed, and, with a wink in the direction of a rather befuddled Touya, left the room.
