Rolling her eyes Ashi grinned when Himemiko laughed having seen her reflection in the mirror. "Really princess how do you put up with him?" Smiling herself the catfish demon sighed.
"He's not that bad, just worried." Running the brush through the demon's light purple hair one last time the shrine deity nodded to herself. 'Kotarou won't know what hit him when he sees Himemiko. I'm glad I didn't get rid of my old girl uniform.' Leading the fish spirit back to her body guard Ashi had to admit Himemiko was making better use they she would, had the deity been warming the off yellow outfit.
"So what do ya think? Will she pass as human, or is she still to other worldly?" Snapping his fan shut Tomoe walked around them both before tapping the goddess on the head with it.
"She passes. The bow is a nice touch." Blushing, the shorter female gingerly touched it.
"You really think so? Ashi said that human boys prefer cute females that need protecting." Nodding the deity looked down at her watch before grabbing the demon's hand.
"We need to go! You're gonna be late if we don't hurry." Practically dragging the small demon fish behind her Ashi flew out of the shrine and down the steps. Eye twitching Tomoe shook his head before following at a much slower rate. 'She always rushes off before I can stop her. It's going to get her in trouble.'
Ashi smacked her forehead, peeking out from behind the tree she was hiding behind the teal eyed girl watched as the fish grabbed Kotarou's head and jerked it to her level muttering something. Hearing a snort beside her she turned a glare to the smirking kitsune. "Shut up, she'll figure personal boundaries out eventually."
"She shouldn't even be here it's a taboo." Scowling at the demon fox she huffed pinching his ear. Jerking away he hissed baring fangs.
"Just for today can you please be happy and un-negative? Aren't most foxes supposed to be happy or something, it's like someone stole your favorite shiny object or something. And normally I'm the depressing one." Returning her glare he peered over her head.
"Just watch the courting so we can go." Frowning at his term-ology she picked his tail up resting it in her lap running a hand through it.
"You're really old aren't you? That's funny you don't look a day over 20." Hearing a commotion by the bench she looked up continuing to stroke his fluffy tail, unaware at the strange look the fox was giving her. "Okay maybe I need to take her to town to see how humans interact, because screaming 'I love you' isn't something you do on a first date." Fumbling with her necklace teal eyes glazed over as a warm feeling settled over her. Looking at his claws Tomoe tried to pretend that he was letting his aura float around the small female beside him calming her.
"Himemiko is in trouble." Blinking back to the present Ashi shook her head clearing it. Looking over towards the little princess she intended to shoot up and run over but froze when a warm clawed hand encircled her wrist.
"Wait you have to let the human protect his future mate. It will help prove whether or not he will make a good mate." Blinking at the silver haired male she blushed when he shoved a sticky note in her face and a pen. "Write his name on the note stick it on the tree and push it… You're so hopeless." Grinning back at the fox when she had done as he said she scowled seeing him wipe a tear from his eye. "I can't believe you actually did that." Spinning around she placed her hands on her hips sticking her tongue out at him.
"Well it worked didn't it? Let's go home I'm almost dead on my feet." Rolling beautiful purple eyes Tomoe scooped Ashi up in his arms, racing back to the shrine.
Pausing in passing by the common room in the shrine Ashi sighed wondering not for the first time why she had moved the T.V. out of storage the only ones who had time to watch it were Onikiri and Kotetsu. Seeing her high school's name flash across the screen she jumped over the lounging kitsune, ending up tripping over a plushy pillow and face planting in front of the stand. Shaking it off the deity sit up waving off the two concerned spirits before turning back to the T.V. "Kurama is going to be at my school, and I'm stuck here at the shrine while a hot pop star waltz around my school. And he's even in my class that sucks." Slamming her hands down Ashi jumped up going to her room to change into her school uniform which was tan pants and a white shirt. Frowning down at the bright material she sighed again. 'Why couldn't the shirts have been black?' Shouldering her school bag the goddess passed by the common room again calling over her shoulder. "I'll be back in a while, I'm going to school." Seeing the world rush up to meet her and a weight settle on her back, straddling her hips she groaned seeing a silver-white tail flicking off to one side.
"Just where do you think you're going? Who is this guy anyway?" Pushing herself up Ashi peeked over her shoulder frowning at Tomoe where he set on her back.
"I'm going to school meanie. Now let me up or I'll be late. That guy is Kurama he's a famous singer. And I wanna meet him." Standing up and pulling Ashi with him he led her back towards the center on the shrine, still holding her hand.
"You can't go with your deity mark shining like that any demon that sees you will attack." Pulling her hand free when her face started to heat up the teen tapped her chin in thought.
"So if I cover up the mark can I go?" Unfolding his fan the fox hide a grin with it. 'Damn she figured out a loop hole fairly quickly.' Nodding he followed her to her room watching as she dug to the very bottom of her bag, with a cry of triumph she produced a black head band with a metal plate on it. "I knew I kept my Itachi headband for a reason." Tying it around her head she smiled, and belatedly Tomoe realized she was very cute when her dimples showed.
"Hey Ashi where have you been?" Looking up from her book said girl sighed setting it down.
"Isobe how is it that I always have the miss fortune to be in the same class as you?" Grasping the front of his shirt the bot leaned heavily on her desk.
"I'm hurt Ashi and here I thought we were friends." Feeling a chill go through her body just as they were thrown open and smoke rolled in followed by a tall red haired, gray eyed winged figure. 'He has youki too. Kurama is a demon!'
