Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters. Except me. And the
squirrels. And the moose. Actually, I kinda have an army. *evil smile*
AN: (Bouncing around to Smells like Teen spirit by Nirvana.) I kinda had a good day. We got out quarter grades, and mine were good. and then I went shopping and I got a new manga. So it's all good! Except for one of my friends.
(Pout.)
Anyways, here's the next chapter. The moral of this story is to never leave your clothes in reach of squirrels while bathing.
Ummm. you think that's a foreshadow? Duh.
My eyes! They BURN!
It was not a happy squirrel. It's name was Jimmy, and it new precisely that it did not like the fox girl.
The rooster boy had offered him food, which made him very good in Jimmy's mind. But that fox girl.
She would pay.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Misao awoke, she realized that there were squirrels all around her, several on each tree branch.
She also realized that she had somehow gotten closer to Aoshi while she slept.
So close in fact, that his arms were wrapped around her.
And if that she moved out of the ordinary, he would wake up.
And that this would be most interesting to try to explain. What would she say, that the squirrels moved her?
As she looked around, that she realized that all of the squirrels had focused on her, little black eyes watching her as she though.
Maybe there was more to these squirrels than she thought.
Now how was she gonna get out of this one?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Megumi awoke alone. There was a space were the leaves had been nestled across the clearing from her. Sanosuke had probably already left. Her bet would have been that he was at the apple tree, wolfing down the fruit. Pig. Couldn't he go a couple of hours without food?
It was the perfect time for a bath, she realized. She was filthy with sweat and dirt from sleeping on the ground. She walked a little down river, to a place that was fairly concealed with trees. He wouldn't find her here.
She stripped of her clothes before she slid into the water, setting them with care onto the ground.
Where they were regarded with interest by a raged looking squirrel.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sanosuke had, in fact, been at the apple tree. He had eaten five of the crisp apples, and then plucked another off the tree as an after thought. Maybe he could find that squirrel again. He felt bad for that little thing. And the look that it had after Megumi had taken the apple yesterday HAD been just a little scary.
Speaking of Megumi, she was nowhere to be found. Hopefully she'd been eaten by a bear or something. That would make his life a whole lot easier.
But then again, if she had been eaten by a bear, there would have been signs of the trouble. She was probably off somewhere. He sat down and started to gnaw on a blade of grass. Nothing to do. arg.
Somewhere in the trees he thought he saw a little form carrying some kind of cloth.
Probably just his imagination.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Megumi was finished with her bath once she felt that the grime had been washed away. She stood up, wrung out her hair, and reached for her clothes.
Clothes.
That were non-existant.
Her eyes widened. THAT PERVERT! She wouldn't have thought that he would have sunk this low to get back for something that happened so long ago.
She was going to kill him! He must have looked in on her while she was bathing too.
She realized that her face was a deep shade of pink.
She would have to go looking for them. He was probably back at the tree eating, right? So if she was careful, she could probably find her clothes and put them back on before she returned.
She crept out of the clearing very quickly, making her way carefully back to the camp. She stepped into the covert where they had slept, and then froze.
Sanosuke leaned against a tree on the opposite side, asleep with a blade of grass in his mouth.
She stepped backwards, very quietly.
SNAP!
Damn twigs. Always showing up where they weren't wanted.
One of Sanosuke's opened. Then the other, but now they were very wide now, and his face was getting red.
"MY EYES! THEY BURN!" He yelled as he slapped his hands over his eyes.
"WELL YOU WERE THE HENTAI THAT STOLE MY CLOTHES!" She screamed back at him, her face a quire interesting crimson color.
"I DIDN'T TOUCH YOUR CLOTHES!" He yelled back, his hands over his eyes as he tried to expunge the image from his mind. Damn memory.
She did have a nice body
Bad thoughts. Out of the head. Out!
Maybe if he hit his head hard enough against something, the braincells containing the image would go away.
Damn.
The fox had retreated into the trees so that only her head stuck out. There was still her to deal with.
He hesitated, the stripped out of his coat so that his chest was bare. His eyes still closed, he tossed his coat in the general direction of what he thought was Megumi.
She caught it, and looked at him with a confused expressions. He opened on of his eyes, found that all was not well, and abruptly closed it again.
"Put it on you idiot." He stated, his face still red.
As she was putting on the coat, Megumi pondered what had happened. It didn't SEEM like Sanosuke had taken her clothes. And he had given her his coat.
The little voice in her head speculated that she got a pretty good view of his chest like this.
All of the other voices in her head drowned this one out. She was still angry.
But who else could have stolen her clothes?
"It's safe now." She stated. The coat was short, but it covered all that was necessary.
Warily Sanosuke opened his eyes again. The two red teens stared at each other.
Jimmy took this precise moment to bound into the clearing, and stop before Sanosuke with a pleading look on his squirrely face.
He noticed that Sanosuke's face was quite red.
So he did like the fox girl.
Monigue would be pleased.
Sanosuke rolled the apple towards the squirrel, and it ran off, pushing the apple with it's head.
Strangely, Megumi's clothes appeared later that morning.
AN: Well, that was interesting. Eyes open, close. Open, close. Hah. Poor Sano.
There is more to come. No worries. Buhaha.
