Disclaimer: Shi is mine, Sho is Steven's and Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling. Got it?
AN: Well here's the next chapter. The progress on this fic is going to be a little slow. The original concept of it came from a comic my friend and I did when we got bored, so finding all of it is a little bit of a hassle. If any would like to see some pics of Shi and Sho, please, feel free to contact me. And, above all else, please review.
Why Demons Should Never Teach
Chapter Two
The rest of the train ride had been uneventful. After hours of game time, gorging on snacks and soft drinks, both Shi and Sho began to grow imatient. They were sick of mile after mile of countryside. Even making the cows explode had become dull. Finally, the train began to slow.
"Well, that wen well," Sho said, following the house elf to their rooms.
"Ha! Did you see the way they looked at my tail? It's like they've never seen a kitsune before," Shi shrieked, protectively holding her fluffy fox tail.
"Wasn't your tail they were looking at," he muttered.
The kitsune either didn't hear him or chose to ignore his comment, being too busy cuddling her tail, stroking it and chanting, "My precious."
The wolf demon shook his head, thanking whatever diety was listening for giving them separate quaters.
"Here's we are," the house elf squeaked. "Hope's it's to Master's and Mistress' likes.
Sho grunted as the house elf bowed and left.
"Look, it's like a dorm room. Separate bedrooms and a shared common room. Ooh, wow!"
He watched as Shi squealed and launched herself at the overstuffed coch. Stretching out, she looked at her companion.
"Not as comfy as the one at home."
"Hn," was the response.
"Well, guess we should unpack. Got a busy day tomorrow," she mumbled, not making any attempt to get up.
Sho just grabbed a beer from the cooler they brought and headed to his room.
Pale light filtered into the dark room as the door carefully creaked open. Steathily moving through the small opening, the fox demon padded her way to the occupant on the bed.
"Sho? Are you awake," Shi whispered. "C'mon Sho."
The wolf demon's ear twitched. She took it as a response.
"Man, it's kinda freaky here. It's nothing like the den."
Sho grunted in his sleep.
"I was wondering if I could sleep in here with you? I mean, just until things get settled. It really is nothing like the den and um," she blushed, shaking her white bangs out of her eyes. "Can I? Please?"
Sho grunted again, rolling onto his side.
"Thank you," Shi sighed, crawling under the covers.
Sho was warm. Too warm. Kicking off the covers, he settled deeper into the plush pillows. However, the warmth remained. Groaning, he rubbed his eyes. Or at least he tried to. Something heavy lay across his arm and chest. Groggily, he opened his eyes to find the problem. Gold eyes widened at the sight of the blue and white fox sprawled over him.
"Dammit," he shouted, pushing the fox off him. It twitched, but didn't wake. "Couldn't you sleep in your own bed for once?"
His companions lack of response pissed him off.
"I'm sick of this," he growled ferally. Picking the fox up by the tail, he walked over to the window and tossed it out. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he heard the splash and the cry of outrage that followed.
Shi returned to the rooms, sopping wet, naked (having returned to human form upon hitting the frigid water), and in a foul mood. Considering her rude awakenin in the lake, it was the least of her problems. Clenching her fist, she entered the common room.
"What the hell was that for?"
"Unlike some people, I don't enjoy waking up next to someone. However, it appears that the squid does," Sho smirked, pulling a strand of seaweed out of Shi's hair.
"We'll discuss this later," she growled, red eyes flashing. Grabbing some clothes, she headed for the shower.
