bonbon: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho
Ember: That was fast.
bonbon:In a rush. So Enjoy!
Ember: (looks at bonbon worriedly) Yeah,enjoy.
I collapse onto the ground in exhaustion. Does this boy go on batteries? I ask myself watching as the boy throws yet another stick. He looks back at me with excited eyes only to see me lying on the ground with my tail wagging at him.
"Aww, you tired already?" He asks walking over to me. I let my eyes slip close as a door slides open behind me. I raise my head upon hearing a gasp and then a growl. Huh? I stand up and turn around to come face to face with Shuichi's very angry looking face, his mother hovering behind him.
"Surprise." She says with little enthusiasm. Kakoda walks over to me and pulls me into a hug, grinning his head off.
"Cool isn't she?" He stares down at me. "Mom says we can keep her until we find her owner." He looks back up to Shuichi. I watch as Shuichi's angry face morphs into one of bored happiness.
"Yes. Very cool." He says looking directly at me with death written in his eyes. I shiver slightly. Well, at least with this calm reaction my urge to kill him is subdued. He turns around and walks up the stairs.
"Shuichi?" Shiori calls after him. He turns around and smiles at her.
"I have homework to do. I'll be in my room." And with that he continues up the stairs. I stretch out, yawning. That went well. I look in front of me at Kakoda as he stares after his brother. I bark, crouching into a play bow. Kakoda turns around grinning.
"Want to play some more, girl?" He asks picking up the abandoned stick. I bark happily as he throws it, chasing after and catching it even before it hit the ground. I could feel my tail slightly rise at how proud I was. I drop the stick at Kakoda's feet and step back waiting for him to throw it one more time. And for the next three hours we played fetch, but also wrestling, throw a clump of mud in the air, watch me catch it, while it explodes in my mouth, and, oh yeah, how could I forget, giving me a bath with the water hose, which was set on Antarctic cold. I huff as I walk into the kitchen behind Kakoda. Shiori sets a silver mixing bowl on the ground, with really nice smelling stuff in it. I could feel myself beginning to drool.
"We'll have to get her a real dog bowl and dog food tomorrow." She says while I scarf down the delicious ground beef. I lick my lips in satisfaction. I think I'm in doggy heaven. Wait. Doggy heaven. Doggy-Oh crap! Hiro, Scamp, and Gramps! I left them all at Riu's. Oh double crap! Riu! Now I really did run out on him.
"Oh hello, Shuichi dear." I look up at the call of his name, my worries pushed aside. He walks down the stairs right past me, his nose in the air, ignoring me and sits down across from Kakoda, but next to Shiori. I glare at him growling. How dare that pompous fox-
"Shuichi, will you come with me to get Fluffy's stuff?" Kakoda asks. Shuichi smiles at him sweetly. I wince at the stupid nickname. I really wish this kid had more creativity.
"Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way." Shuichi replies sweetly. Kakoda smiles even more.
"Thanks Shuichi."
"You're most certainly welcome." Shuichi looks down at me with a small sweet smile. I turn my head away, afraid to meet his gaze dead on. I could see the menace behind his eyes as they bore a hole into my head. Just great, tomorrow will be torture. I look back down at my now empty bowl. I'm still hungry. I look back up at Shiori and whine. Feed me. She looks down at me then the bowl. Getting up she grabs my bowl and fills it with even more meat. Yeah meat! I could feel my tail wagging furiously. I began to scarf the food down even before it hit the ground. She shakes her head slightly amused.
"Wow." Kakoda says in amazement. Hatori, the husband, looks at me pitifully. I could see him figuring the numbers in his head on how much it would cost to feed me.
"She's going to eat us out of house and home." Shiori smiles at her husband.
"But dear, you're the one that said we needed a dog." I could feel myself grin at the defeated look Hatori gave his wife. Kakoda gives a great big yawn. Shiori smiles at him.
"Time for bed." She says looking at both her sons and her husband.
"But mom!" He says stressing the word 'mom.' Shiori smiles at the only protesting member of the family, everyone else seemed too tired to argue. I smile as Shuichi gives a little yawn, and stands up to clear his dish.
"No, no, no, dear. You let me do that. Go on to bed and take Kakoda with you." Kakoda gets a little tired grin on his face.
"Can I take Fluffy with me?" He pleads. Shiori looks down at me with a slightly worried face. I grin up at her tail wagging. She sighs.
"Fine then," Kakoda, yet again, gives off a silent 'Yes!' "But she stays on the floor." Shiori says sternly. Kakoda nods his head before racing up the stairs to his room, me not far behind but giving Shuichi a wide berth. Kakoda rushes into his room leaving the door wide open and starts stripping. I walk in grab the handle between my teeth and close the door, with me sitting in the hall. I turn my head to the side hearing quieted footsteps. Looking over I find a pair of brown shoes, following the legs and further up I reach the face of the reincarnated fox demon. Shuichi looks at me without a single emotion ever crossing his face. Ok. I gulp. You want him to like you, so he can turn you back, so you'd better just look away. But no matter how hard I try I couldn't seem to look away from those gorgeous emerald eyes. Then gold began to mix with emerald. I crawl away whimpering slightly at the glare he sent me. I paw at the door. Kakoda swings it open looking slightly surprised at my hunkered form and Shuichi towering over me.
"What are you doing out here?" He asks. I don't know if he meant me or you, but I'm out. I rush into his Kakoda's room and hide underneath the bed. Well so much for getting him to like me. I curl myself into a ball then turn around till my back is facing the open side of the bed. I think he's plotting my death? I cringe at the thought of that fox killing me. I bet he knows really horrible ways to die.
"Hey?" Kakoda calls. I turn my head to face him.
"Come on out." Before I could catch myself, I shake my head and crawl further under the bed. Kakoda sighs in defeat and crawls onto his bed. The bed sinks a little pressing into my back, but not enough to cause discomfort. I crawl out an hour later, to find a sleeping and drooling Kakoda hanging halfway off the bed. I roll him with my muzzle over and back onto the bed. Jumping on the bed I lay down next to him, getting comfortable. Kakoda snuggles into my fur for warmth.
"Soft," He mumbles, snuggling and clinging to me. My head shoots up at the sound of a creaking door. I look at the door to see two golden eyes staring at me. I cringe into the bed, closing my eyes as fear consumes me. Those eyes held nothing but cruelty and brutality. I could feel a large clawed hand glide over my body and before I know it, I'm out like a light.
"Kakoda!" I jump up with a yelp. I look back at the door still shaking slightly to see a slightly angry Shiori. Kakoda sits up looking around with sleep blurry eyes.
"What?" He mumbles still half asleep. She glares at him and points at me.
"She wasn't allowed in your bed." Kakoda looks at me and then smiles sheepishly st his mother, laughing nervously.
"She must have jumped up while I was asleep." Shiori sighs.
"Just get her off. I don't want your bed smelling like a dog." Kakoda nods his head before pushing me off. I follow Shiori out into the hallway, but pause at the open door of Shuichi. I watch as he sits in his chair reading a book. I take a step into his room but freeze as his eyes zero in on me. Stepping back out, I stare in horror as his eyes slightly flash the same molten gold as the eyes last night. Did he scare me that much? But that smell was different? And the figure was way too big? He was very tall, very well built. King of Thieves I warn you. Hm. He had long silver hair with silver furry ears, perched on top of his head, and a long silky tail to match. His eyes were a molten gold that would shine with cruelty. The tree's words echo in my was it? I run away with my tail between my legs, racing into the back yard. If he can change back into what he was before, I might just be out of my level. I sigh sitting down and looking up at the blue blue sky. I think I just got my self into loads of trouble?
