Chapter 9
Ahri woke up to the sun shining through the frost covered windows of the condo. It was unusually quiet, she wondered what Ryou was doing. Yawning, she got up and walked out the bedroom, looking for Ryou. After checking the other rooms, she realized Ryou must have left for an errand or something. Then the events of the night before rushed back to her. She ran to the bedroom and opened the bottom drawer of her dresser. The girl smiled as she pulled out the box and recalled how magical last night seemed. She then blushed, remembering how her heart fluttered when Ryou basically asked her to stay with him. "Am I falling for him?" She questioned herself. "He might be a moron... But he makes me feel like I belong." She sighed. Back in Runeterra, the closest person that Ahri had for a friend was Wukong. She also liked the playful monkey king, but he was far too busy with his training to return, or even notice, her feelings for him. Ryou was different. He was kind, loving, and caring; taking care of her even through her abuse. The kitsune wondered if Ryou was experiencing the same thing she was. "Is it love?" She asked herself again. Her thoughts were interrupted by Ryou opening the front door, shouting, "I'm back!"
"Where did you go?" Ahri asked nonchalantly. "I went to the gym," Ryou answered. "I don't just sit on my ass all the time." "You? Exercise? You're funny." Ahri teased. "Ha, ha. Well, I'm gonna throw this shirt in the wash, take a shower, and then I'll make breakfast, okay?" Ryou said, taking off his shirt. Ahri flushed red, and stammered, "W-w-what are you doing, you perverted freak!?" "What?" Ryou asked, blatantly confused. Ahri took a moment and stared at Ryou's toned body, and jumped when Ryou suddenly let out a loud AHEM. "I never stared at you this much when I walked in on you in the shower." He grumbled, sighing. He was immediately set upon by the fox girl, falling to her unrelenting blows while she yelled, "I WAS JUST ABOUT TO FORGET THAT INCIDENT! THANKS FOR BRINGING IT BACK UP, YOU STUPID PERVERT!" "AHHHGH! IT WAS SO WORTH IT!" Ryou replied, writhing in pain. After a severe ass kicking from the kitsune, Ryou went to take a shower and rub his new bruises. When he finished, he walked out of the bathroom, and went to go make breakfast.
As the day went on, Ryou noticed something was a little... off with the fox girl. She would think of something and chuckle, like as if she was plotting something. Ryou pretended not to care but he decided to ask about it as they watched T.V. "What's so funny?" He asked as Ahri laughed at herself for the 30th time that day. "Oh, nothing," she said, grinning. "Hey, I have an idea," Ahri said. "Let's share the most embarrassing and terrifying moments in our lives." Ryou, although unsure of where this was going, agreed. "Ladies first," he replied. "Hmmm..." Ahri pondered. "My most embarrassing moment in my life is probably when SOMEONE walked in on me in the bathroom." Ryou sighed, "that was an accident." "Uh huh, pervert," she huffed. "Your turn." "My most embarrassing moment..." Ryou thought for a moment. "Probably the first night you appeared." "Huh?" Ahri said, confused. "You know..." Ryou answered, growing red. "When you landed on top of me and... yeah." Ahri flushed red as well, and muttered, "I had just forgotten it too, asshole." "You asked for the truth," Ryou replied, shrugging. "Okay, what about your most frightening moment?" Ahri asked. "Hmm, when I was young, I fell off a cliff that overlooked the ocean." Ryou told the kitsune. "Liar." "No, really, that's how I got this scar," Ryou explained, showing her the faded, jagged scar on his right cheek. "I was lucky enough land on a rock that wasn't too far from the edge... Unfortunately, I landed on it with my face," Ryou admitted sheepishly. Ahri, still finding it hard to believe, shook her head and asked, "Well, do you want to know something even more terrifying?" When Ryou nodded cautiously, she smiled and motioned for him to come closer. The fox girl went up to his ear, and whispered something that made him freeze in terror. "I start my period tomorrow."
