Chapter 3.

That gold! I knew that gold, that same stunning shade of gold I couldv'e swore was in my tree. It was different, like I thought .. deeper, richer, like a topaz stone. They were eyes, they were breath taking, I couldn't help but stare, I wonder who they belo-

"Oi, wench. Are you just going to stare?"

An asshole-ish voice broke me from my thoughts. But I guess it is rude to stare, so I started to apologize, all while blushing for some reason.

"Sorry, sorry. I don't mean to be rude."

All I got back was a sound between a scoff and the beginning of a sneeze. Could only be described as a "keh."

My nose crinkled and my brow furrowed on their own accord, he sure was rude. I said sorry, geez. Maybe he was a natural ding-a-ling. I sat back and studied him. He wasn't anything to turn your nose up at. He had silverish, whiteish hair. I'm not doing it justice, and it was long too. Like down to his mid-back, and normally I would find that weird or unattractive but on him it was just ...wow. His eyebrows were black, maybe it was dyed that way. He had on a red shirt, dark jeans and Adidas slides.

Were those even allowed in school? I was getting off topic.

He wore a scowl, and it suited him, like it was his normal expression. Defensive eyes, uncaring, and ..perceptive. But now that I got a good look at him, he was ..odd. His nails were sharp and pointed, like stiletto nails, only they didn't look fake, and they looked lethal. He noticed my gaze and his eyes widened just a bit and he tensed slightly. It was almost non-noticeable, and had I not been paying attention I wouldn't have noticed.

If that wasn't odd enough, his ears ... were on his head. Not on the sides, on the top, and they weren't .. human ears, they were some type of animal, I decided on dog ears. I checked the side of his head and ..nope, no human ears. He noticed this, and definitely tensed. Well, almost every part of him tensed, one of his ears twitched. It was honestly the cutest thing I'd ever seen.

I supposed I should have been scared, or something. But I was always good with weird things, I was an .. odd child. I saw things people didn't and was often misunderstood. I learned to keep my mouth shut. But I never felt weird vibes when I was little, I would remember. I was shocked to see something like this though, it had been a while. The only weird thing was ... I think it was him making me feel safe .. or something because all I felt was security and content next to him.

It was creeping me out, I don't know the guy.

I was pulled from my thoughts by him shifting and looking around, I looked to, and everyone was still talking. Loudly too, is class actually going to start? The teacher looked busy, so I guess not.

I was once again jolted out of my thoughts from a poke in the ribs, not so gentle either.

I turned, face neutral, to a tense and pissed of looking .. cute, gorgeous dog boy.

"Why do you keep staring at me like that? You gotta problem or somethin'?"

I stared him in the eye while he talked. He was ..guarded, and angry, but with a little underlying nervousness that I can't be too sure I saw.

I know he was tense and looked like he was about to flip his shit. I don't know why I did what I did next, something came over me, instinct I guess you could say. But I reached up, and stroked both of his little ears from base to tip. They were soft to the touch, feeling better than I can describe. He tensed so much I thought he would explode, like a bomb.

I applied the most gentle pressure while stroking them. Then he made this sound, almost like a purr and relaxed slightly. That sounded cute, so so cute. Cute and soothing, like if I heard it continuously I could just relax and let my worries fade away.

I guess it should be weird and I should have heard warning bells. Since he doesn't seem to like me very much, and he looked like he was going to flip his shit just a few seconds ago.

But it felt right, and this sounds so stupid, but I almost felt as if I were connected to him, and he to me. Of course I came to my senses, realized what I was doing and let go. I sat down, blushing hard, it was like I woke up from a trance.

He looked at me, and I could have swore I saw something like recognition in his eyes and face, but that was quickly replace with the defensiveness and the angry scowl back on his face. He made a sound in the back of his throat that seemed to come from his chest. Like a growl. It was low enough for no one else to hear. But I wasn't scared, I felt .. even more secure than I already was.

When he seemed to reach the realization that I wasn't afraid, he bared his teeth ..fangs .. at something behind me. Then turned in his seat and didn't say anything or look my way.

I don't know why I felt so depressed over seeing him do that, but I did, and his ears seem to droop a bit.

But my depression turned into anger, why was he being such an asshat? Granted I stared, and sorta touched him ..but it didn't mean he had to bite my head off about it. His ears seem to flatten on his head and he stole a glance at me, I glared at him. He winced, then he looked behind me again, growled and looked twoard the front.

Angry but curious, I looked behind me. I saw Sango and Miroku's smirking faces vanish and them look towards the front. Their faces giving nothing away, but their eyes filled with smugness. I started doodling, but not before seeing them share one last secret smirking look to each other.

Class actually started then, I figured we were at least halfway in. The teacher announced something about technical difficulties, then hooked up his laptop to a projection thing hanging about 3 inches from the ceiling facing the board. We went over notes, it wasn't hard to keep up. I was familiar with the material, we did a small worksheet and I finished that soon enough.

While all of that was going on I could feel someone looking at me, that guy. When I looked over, frustrated, but he had all his attention on the board. I didn't see him move, but I'm positive he was looking at me. He moved fast.

"Sango, what lunch do you have?" I started.

"C, you?"

"Same. The hentai behind me has it, too."

"Sango, how you wound me." The perver- Miroku interjected.

I rolled my eyes, about to say something when Sango & Miroku shared one creepy and knowing smile and sango stated "I guess all 4 of us have it together." She looked way too sly.

I was about to ask what she was talking about when the bell rang. I forgot to compare schedules with her, so I don't know if I'll have class with her again before lunch. Which, is in the middle of 5th block, and since it's Monday we have all 7 classes. Oh well, if I don't I'll just hold in my questions till lunch.

As I'm packing up and walking out of the door I feel that same, steady gaze on me. Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure it's the same presence that was in my tree.

'Weird.'
