J: Hellllooooo! You guys are just awesome, I really felt that needed to be said. A lot of you responded to my inquiry about what you wanted for chapters and because of that I came up with a chapter that I didn't even plan on having. And yes! I now have a plan for this story XD We are roughly looking at 23 chapters so far, and that's not even the end of it, so this story is in for a long run :)

Follwer count: 87 (I think I'm going to break a personal record here.)

Chapter Seven

Shippo stood by the school gates with his eyes looking left and right down the road for Rin's car. Every day Rin arrived at school in the black car driven by Jaken.

After the third day of school Shippo had worked out the timing with Rin over the phone.

Because his Mama always had early morning shifts Shippo got dropped off at 7:30. Rin arrived at school right on time every morning at 7:45. An energetic fox demon such as himself would have gone crazy with boredom waiting a whole 15 minutes for his friend to show up. But he was a fox demon with a lot of determination.

The car came into sight and Shippo bounced on the balls of his feet. Having been taught and warned the dangers of being too close to the road Shippo remained at the school gate to watch the car pull up in front of the school.

The back door opened and out hopped Rin, "Bye Papa, have a good day at work! Bye Jaken don't be too grumpy!" Rin waved as the car door closed and drove off. Dressed in an orange and red checker sun dress Rin ran over and hugged Shippo. "Hi Shippo!"

"Hi Rin! I like your dress today." Shippo took Rin's hand and walked next to her into the school yard.

"Really? It's my favourite dress." Rin smiled revealing a new change.

"Did you lose a tooth?! When did you loose it? Did you get anything from the Tooth Fairy?" Shippo and Rin went over to their favourite spot underneath the school's towering cherry blossom tree.

Opening her mouth to give Shippo a better look at the empty space where her bottom incisor used to be Rin answered, "It came out yesterday at lunch time. I bit into my apple and it got stuck."

"Did it hurt?" Shippo had lost a couple teeth last year and each one had hurt coming out. He didn't like the thought of Rin being in pain.

"It hurt for a little bit. Papa gave me some medicine that stopped the pain. The Tooth Fairy gave me a whole dollar!" Rin had been ecstatic to find the dollar under her pillow. The first thing she'd done after finding it was run downstairs and show her Papa. He told her that the more she brushed her teeth without being asked the happier and more generous the Tooth Fairy was. Then she put the dollar into her piggy bank with all the other money she'd gotten from the Tooth Fairy. She was saving all her money for a special day.

"That's awesome! Last time the Tooth Fairy gave me a lemon candy and 50 cents." Talking about teeth Shippo ran his tongue over his to see if any of them would wiggle.

"Candy? I've never gotten candy from the Tooth Fairy." Rin wasn't upset to hear this but curious. Her Papa said clean shiny teeth were the Tooth Fairy's favourite thing. If that was so then why did she give candy as a present?

Shippo shrugged, "Mama said that the Tooth Fairy will give you gifts that will make you feel better if the tooth hurt coming out. Lemon candy is my favourite and it made me feel a lot better."

The bell rang letting the kids know they needed to go inside for class to start.

Taking their seats in class Rin smiled thinking out loud, "I like your Mama, she's pretty and I think Papa likes her."

Shippo was surprised, every time Shippo had seen Rin's Papa he had a blank face. Only when Rin was near him did Mr. Taishou's face look softer around the eyes. "How do you know your Papa likes my Mama?"

Their teacher Mr. Suikotsu began to talk so Rin lowered her voice into a whisper, "When Papa doesn't like someone he doesn't stand close to them. On Saturday Papa stood really close to your Mama."

Shippo thought back to Saturday night when his Mama and her Papa showed up when they were reading. At that time he'd been focused on his Mama. The whole picture of his Mama and Rin's Papa standing next to each other brought an exciting idea to life, "They were standing really close together, and I know that my Mama likes your Papa. When she doesn't like someone she tells me so I know to stay away from them in case they're bad."

Rin didn't like bad people either. She understood why it was important for Shippo to know who they were.

"Wouldn't it be great if your Papa and my Mama were best friends like you and me?"

Rin imagined her Papa holding hands with Ms. Kagome. She'd seen her Papa holding hands with other pretty women for his parties or business trips but she could see her Papa being happier with Ms. Kagome, "That would be amazing!"

"What would be amazing Rin?" As the two had been talking Mr. Suikotsu took notice that the two weren't paying attention.

Shippo and Rin gave Mr. Suikotsu polite smiles and answered together, "Nothing."

"Mhm. Remember you two, talk time is lunch time and outside time. Class time is learning time."

"Yes Mr. Suikotsu."

Not wanting to get into trouble Shippo and Rin paid attention to Mr. Suikotsu, but both of them couldn't stop thinking about their Mama and Papa becoming best friends.

J: I know that the wording makes it sound like they want them to be together romantically, but it is exactly as they are talking about. They just want their parents to be friends, just friends...Thinking of love comes later I promise XD Keep in mind that they are kids despite one being a fox demon :P
