Twisting Friendship

1. I Met You At That Time

He was running,

Running with no where to go.

He wouldn't admit it; but, He was running from his father. Now your probably thinking that his father is abusive and hes scared right? Well.. He is scrared but its for another reason all on its own.

"TOMOE!" Mikage screamed at the top of his lungs as Tomoe narrowed his violet eyes and ducked under his bed; Hoping that The blond god would leave him alone. He had been told all day that his father's old friend from college was coming, and she had a daughter.

"NO!" Tomoe screamed as Mikage caught his target and started to pull Tomoe out from under the bed, The child dug his nails into the ground not caring if blood streeked the cream colored carpet. His ears flattened and he growled like his animal instincts told him to.

He did not want to meet a girl. Or some stupid friend of his fathers. It wasn't his fault that his dad wanted to see an old girl with her offspring. The child growled when his father pulled him downstairs into the kitchen.

"Ah, Come on! Tomoe hold still!" Mikage winced out as he tried to fix the kids messy hair. Tomoe dodged and shook his head stubbornly, He would not give in!

Mikage sighed and pushed his glasses up on his nose, " Would you like Sasamochi?"

The white haired child paused, His animal ears perked. He slowly looked at Mikage as if trying to deside if it was fair enough trade.

A girl for Sasamochi?

Any grown child would say, 'No way,' But Tomoe was only six at the time and the sound of the bamboo wrapped delicacy slipped though his mind like a ribbon of tempting words.

"Fine" He crossed his arms as Mikage started to brush tangles out of the little boys hair. Tomoe slumped and then yawned when his Father made one last pull. His bob like hair was fixed and now he ran out of the kitchen, hiding behind a pillar in the main living room as the door bell went off.

The child peeked at the door and narrowed his eyes, He clutched a little toy fan in his hand and he glared at the entryway.

Mikage smiled at the child and shook his head slightly. To think Tomoe could be so shy and so rude at the same time.. It was not a charater trait from the father; If was definately from Mikage's deceased wife.

The man straightened his shoulders and breathed out before reaching for the door and pulling it open. Once it was open he saw a petite woman with a smile as bright as the sun itself.

Even the rainy atmosphere in the back didn't dim her smile,

"Mikage?" She giggled slightly and the man hugged her,

"Come in, Come in!" Mikage cheered and the woman gratefully accepted. As she walked in Tomoe caught a glimse on fabic and a swivel of a dress. The older woman had something, Or someone..Tugging at her dress, as if it was hiding.

Tomoe hid behind the pillar and narrowed his almost cat like eyes, His ears flattened and Mikage glanced at him.

"Ah, Gwen, Please meet Tomoe." He gestured his hand and the woman looked over. She smiled warmly and Tomoe snarled his lip.

Mikage frowned but Gwen seemed to wave it off like it was nothing at all. She waved at him by folding her fingers up and down and the child titled his head in curosity.

"He's adorable, What type is he?" Gwen asked as she swiped a piece of brown hair out of her beautiful eyes.

Mikage smiled with pride and stood straighter then intended, " He's a Kitsune! Six years old."

Gwen chuckled as Mikage motioned for Tomoe to come over. The little Kitsune consented and hurried over. He hid behind his fathers pants leg and stared up at the pretty woman. She smiled and pulled her dress away,

Tomoe looked at paused as a little gasp filled the air and a giggle. Mikage chuckled,

"IS there someone hiding behind mommy?" Mikage prodded and another giggle filled the air.

Tomoe's ears perked and he blinked, Gwen yanked her dress away again and a little girl was reveiled.

She had pig tails and wore a little dress. She had tights with pink pocka dots on them and they seemed to go all the way up her legs. She had little black, button toe shoes on and a cute little butterfly brette was in her hair.

Tomoe clutched his fathers pants and hid his face, Letting one of his shy sides slip out like a gush of wind. Mikage looked down at him and crouched to both the childrens eyes level. Tomoe hugged the gods air and shrunk away from the girl.

His violet eyes watched the girls brown ones. They were so big and pretty. If Tomoe looked to long he would would loose his train of thought. His ears twitched and Mikage smiled,

"Hello Miss?"

The little girl did a little bow and looked at her mother for approval. Her mother nodded and the girl jumped for glee, " My' wames, Nanami!" She pointed at herself and Mikage chuckled.

"Hello Nanami, How old are you?"

She giggled and held up five fingers while Mikage smiled, " Well, This is Tomoe. He doesn't say much but hes really nice.. He's six."

Nanami's pretty eyes widened and she titled her head to the side, " Tomoe?"

The little boys eyes met with the girls and his ears twitched, Nanami giggled and walked towards him, making the little kitsune back up.

Tomoe back up so much he plopped on the floor with a 'Thud!' The next thing the little boy knew was that the little girl was tugged at his ears and petting them. He chewed his lip and started to push her off, screaming, 'DADDY! MOLEST! MOLEST!'

Gwen started to crack up laughing as Mikage furrowed his brow and wondered where in gods name did Tomoe even learn that word... Or better yet what it meant.

Tomoe continued to scream and even kick; thats when the little girl grabbe dhis tail and he yelped. His little face turned completely pink as he yanked it from her.

"YOUR DIRTY!" Tomoe sqealed and ran to hide behind Mikage.

Gwen started to snort because she couldn't breath and she looked at Nanami, " Honey, calm down. Your scaring him.."

Nanami paused and then titled her head, 'Scare?"

Tomoe growled, " Creep, I don't get scared."

Mikage swatted him in the head and Tomoe looked up at him annoyed but maybe a bit teary eyed. It wasn't like he was embarrassed that he got hit in front of a girl.. It was just.

The little boy swallowed and rubbed at his eyes before Mikage winced and patted his head. Tomoe sniffed in embarrassment and Gwen smiled at the cute fox.

"Why don't you and Nanami go play?" Mikage sugested.

Tomoe eyes widened as small tears ran down his face, he shook his head but noticed that Nanami didn't say anything.

He looked at her and saw her pouting face, She looked so innocent and helpess. Tears welled in her eyes and the little boy felt instant guilt. He swallowed and slowly walked up to the little girl, He loked down and let his bangs fall over his eyes.

"D-Do.. You want to play?"

Nanami looked at him in shock but then smiled, " but I thought I scared w'you.." She pouted again. Tomoe harshly grabbed her hand and started to drag her to the living room. His ears flattened as they marched off and he heard his father chuckle. He glanced at Nanami who was skipping beside him,

Her eyes were shining..

Tomoe shook his head and looked ahead annoyed,

'Stupid kid; I only met you so I could get Sasamochi'

A Few Years Later

Nanami sighed and let her legs move back and forth; Her striped stockings slid down her leg but she didn't care. For any average fourteen year old it would but to her it was just a piece of clothing that was dirty anyway.

She rolled on her back and smiled. She was on a bed and stared up a ceiling, the bed didn't belong to her of course. ( Don't think anything, Okay guys? ) It was the bed of the fifthteen year old Tomoe Mikage. She was over after school because she was planning on dragging Tomoe's sorry butt to go shopping with her.

He didn't even know that she was there.

She hummed a bit and then looked up when Tomoe walked in, Drying his hair with a towel. He paused when he saw her and then sighed.

"What?" He said blankly.

This girl was always suggesting stupid things, and he wasn't in the mood. Maybe it was the whole puberty thing? He looked at Nanami and rolled his eyes, She didn't even look like she was maturing at all. How sad.

"I came to bring you shopping!" Nanami giggled and Tomoe glared.

"No way, Go yourself." He mumbled and started looked through a drawr for a clean shirt.

Nanami pouted and pushed her back into his dark blue covers. She looked at him with a pouty look; one he had learned to ignore.

"Please?"

"No." He answered again and Nanami furrowed her brow. She sat up and glared for a moment.

"Your sock is falling down, pull it up. You look unsightly." Tomoe said quietly.

Nanami rolled her eyes and lifted her leg slighty. She pulled the sock up her leg and Tomoe looked away glared down at his dresser.

"In the other room, Blockhead." He snarled and Nanami rolled her eyes.

"Please go?"

Tomoe ground his teeth, his fox ears twitched about and his tail wagged in irritation. To be honest he wasn't in the mood. He was tired and his body was achy from the changes of Adolescents. He moaned a bit as he turned and felt pain in his arm.

"No.." He yanwed behind his hand and then stomped over to the bed, " Now, Off!" He shoved Nanami until she was on one side of the full sized bed. She oof'ed and then glared at him as he plopped down in pain. He groaned and let his eyes drift shut.

"HEY!" Nanami screamed and punched him lightly in the arm.

Tomoe moaned, " I'm not shopping.. Leave me be."

Nanami sighed and looked at Tomoe annoyed. She pulled out an English book and started to read a chapter out loud, Watching Tomoe shift and then drift off to sleep. She sighed, Tomoe was very irritable when he was in pain. She knew this, but she also knew that he was going through...

Things.

He told her, Though weeks off prodding, then she got the silent treatment because she teased him; but apparently he was tired.

Nanami looked at him and sighed, He could be so lazy sometimes.. But he could also work harder then anyone. She looked at him and and started to get up, She would let him sleep..

Nanami paused when he groaned, She had made the bed move and now he was laying on his side, his face distorted. The girl knew Tomoe ever since they were small. He was always there for her; and she even leanred a few things about him as well.

Like, He loved Sasamochi, It was the only reason he talked to her when they were children, When Nanami found this out she wanted to hit him, but then she was glad because they were now the best of friends.

She poked his shoulder and he opened an eye, " Stop staring, Its Un-"

Nanami rolled her eyes, " Unsightly, Yeah, yeah.. Stop scolding me you grouch!"

Tomoe smirked and closed his eyes again while Nanami gave him a playful slap.

He was a great best friend...

In the Living Room, Downstairs.

Gwen giggled when she pointed to a little photo of Tomoe and Nanami at the ages of Eight and seven.

"Remember this?" She laughed harder as Mikage looked at it and smiled, The picture showed the two hugging and making weird faces. Well, Nanami was showing a weird face. Tomoe had ice-cream in his hair and he looked ticked off.

Mikage smiled, " Yeah.. Nanami smashed ice-cream in his hair for saying she wasn't cute when she cried because her face would get puffy. Boy did that get a rise out of her."

They both laughed and then looked towards the doors upstairs.

Gwen smiled, " Nanami is very close to Tomoe-kun."

Mikage nodded, " You know.. They're getting older now. A boy and Girl?"

Gwen smiled and picked up another picture, " Don't go using your match-making powers on your own child, Thats cruel."

Mikage held up his hands in defense, " I wasn't! I'm just saying, Tomoe's close to Nanami to... He doesn't let loose around anyone but her."

Gwen smiled and nodded, " Yeah, I've noticed."

Back Upstairs

"Tomoe.. Psst."

"Leave me alone.. I'm tired." Tomoe moaned and pulled a pillow over his head, ignoring her completely. Nanami pouted and started to pull one of her socks up again, She hands slipped it up her leg. It was thigh high socks and Tomoe looked at her for a moment, due to teenage curosity.. The pillow letting him peak.

Nanami looked at him cursiously, " What?"

Tomoe's eyes widened, He was so not looking at her. Not with intention anyway. His face burned but he shrugged his shoulders.

"Nothing," His voice came out horsely but he ignored the look Nanami gave him. She only sighed and then grimaced when her mother called her.

"I gotta go!" Nanami smiled and hopped up as if she was lite as a feather.

Tomoe rolled his eyes and waved a quick goodbye. He yawned and let himself drift back to sleep, leaving Nanami to sigh and close the door.

"Night Tomoe.."

Current Time::

Her boots clicked down the sidewalk as she rushed out of the school into the cool crisp air. It was spring and for the seventeen year old girl she was happy, Why? Because it was spring break and she was going to see her all time Best Friend, Tomoe Mikage.

He was Eighteen but in the same grade as her. Apparently he joined school a little later than her. Her boot sclicked as she tossed her head around looked for the white haired boy.

He was tall now and matured. He had many admires but whenever Nanami teased him about it he would brush it off and say that they were fervilous girls on a homonal rampage.

The girl chuckled, He was always talking like that; and when he wasn't saying big words? His face was in a book...

Speaking of Tomoe..

The girl looked up and saw him leaning against the school gate; shooing away a bunch of fan-girls of his. His face was imerrsed in a book and he looked intrested.

"Tomoe!"

The violet eyed boy looked up and furrowed his brow, causing a few girls to swoon. Nanami sighed and walked forward, Her hair swaying back and forth.

"Lets go home, Tomoe."

The teen nodded without a word and readjusted his school bag. He put his book up and they started to walk home; ignoring the screaming girls and rumors.
They walked for a while and Nanami sighed. He feet hurt and their classes were in finals. Tomoe didn't seemed fazed by it but Nanami knew he was reading in English a lot.

It was his worst subject while hers were math. She hated that subject.. They looked and Nanami paused.

"Tomoe, How about we go and get some ice-cream?" She sent him a begging pout which seemed to not bug the teen.

He chuckled lightly, A side only Nanami knew.

"No." He finally said bluntly and kept walking.

"But why!?" Nanami wailed, " We just got out of all those tests, Please?"

The boy stopped and looked at her annoyed. He had grown used to Nanami's begging but right now he wasn't in the mood. He failed his English Exam.. he knew it; and his father would be dissapionted. Something he couldn't stand.

He looked at Nanami a bit to long and the girl realized he spaced out.

"Hey, I'm sure he'll understand." She smiled and Tomoe glanced at her surprised.

Was he really that readable?

"Ha, Maybe." He sighed and looked towards twon, then to the path that led home to his nice warm bed, " Fine, It is early is it not?"

Nanami let out a loud giggle and Tomoe winced in pain. His fox ears flattened on his head and Nanami covered her mouth as if to say sorry. He rolled his eyes but then paused when he grabbed his wrsit and dragged him along. He growled slightly in annoyance.

His best friend was so hyper, He didn't understand her sometimes.

They made it to the ice-cream shop and Made their orders, Soon they were sitting down eating their treats. Nanami smiled and Tomoe poked at his iced treat.

"I heard that Ami and Kurama like each other, " Nanami giggled as if the topic was normal, And knowing Nanami? It was. They talked about everything with each other.

Tomoe shrugged his shoulders, " We all saw it did we not?"

Nanami nodded, " It must be nice.." She paused and looked at Tomoe. Her faced scrunched up and Tomoe looked at her confused. He knew that look to well... Everytime she pouted she seemed to make him curse under his breath and wish he could avoid it.

He rested his head in his hand and sighed heavily,

"I wonder what kissing is like.." Nanami mused and looked out a window, quietly thinking to herself.

"Pfft, Like anyone would kiss you, " Tomoe chuckled at his own joke and Nanami stuck out her tongue.

"Says the person that almost kissed that blond girl in seventh grade! She came for your birthday party and I found you too getting ready to kiss by the pool when everyone else was-" She was cut off as Tomoe glared at her hard.

"I told you not to bring that up.."

Nanami giggled, " Why? Is it because I spooked you and you fell into the pool?"

Tomoe rolled his eyes as they finished eating their ice-cream.

When they finished Tome paid and Nanami shook her head, " Not this time fox boy! We have an agreement!" She shoved a twenty in his face and he rolle dhis eyes and stuffed it into his walet.

They left and Nanami winced loudly. She had been walking for a while and her feet were killing her..

Tomoe glanced at her and noticed the look on her face, and how she was limping about. She was wearing a school skirt in the spring breeze and he sighed. A skirt and yet she was wearing a thin coat? She tugged it closer as the wind whipped about them and Tomoe watched her closely. His eyes traveled over her for a moment, Making him feel sickly to his stomach.

He felt stupid right now, Looking at his best friend in a suck a way.. What would he say right about now? It was.. Unsightly.

He chuckled to himself and walked in front of Nanami.

"Hop on." He muttered and Nanami gave him a confused look.

Soon she realized what he meant and she gladly consented. She wrapped her legs around his waist and held onto to his collar, in a piggy back ride. Tomoe sighed; used to giving her rides like this since they were younger. He never saw anything wrong with it but..

They were older now.

He was eighteen and Nanami was seventeen years old herself. They had known each other for a long time, And Tomoe never understood why he could open up to her. There were things she had never seen him do.

She had never seen him like someone, She never seen him cry..

Evene though he did it quite a few times. Nanami was such a care free girl; he never thought his troubles would be for her. He didn't want to ruin her..

She had caught him in some down days and she almost saw his tears when she walked in on him in his room once. Of course he recomposed himself. They had fought.. Some harsher than other.

He did have to set some rules with the girl though.. She could not touch his tail. It was an unforgivable vulgar act! His ears were an iffy, He didn't want her doing doing either. He always gave in to his feeling when he was patted lightly.

He shived as Nanami shifted and he straightened himself. He trudged home and looked up at her, " I suppose you are going to my house so your mom can pick you up?"

Nanami nodded and looked up at the sky, " Yep. " She said popping the 'P'

Tomoe shook his head in distaste. She was so simple...

Mikage went through his stacks of prayers when the houses door went open and Tomoe walked in with Nanami on his back. The blond god looked at it as if was normal and Tomoe lowered the girl to the ground.

Nanami ran to the kitchen and grabbed two soda's and they started to walk towards Tomoe's room.

Mikage snorted and then sighed. He had already gotten a call from school and realized Tomoe was having dificutly with his tests; but right now he was too curious with the scene that always played out when the two came home.

They would go over homework and then talk until Gwen came to pick Nanami up. It was always this way. He quessed thats how it would have to be...

But he smiled at the idea, Eveen though he didn't quiet understand it. They were both older and they showed no romantic emotions towards each other whatsoever. But then again.. Tomoe always was okay with the just friends title.

It was something that he was comfortable with and wasn't prepared to ruin it because of a relationship.

Mikage asked the teen a few times if he was interested in anyone but of course his son would glare and scoff at him as if he was making a joke. Nothing seemed to faze Tomoe in the least and yet when he was around Nanami..

He was different.

A few hours later..

Tomoe moaned, softly enough for no one to hear. He was tired and worn out from school, When he and Nanami got to his room they finished each others homework ( No judging.. ) And then they laid down on the bed and started to ramble on about thir day. Well, Nanami rambled. Tomoe just listened as he read a book. He would ask an occasional question and Nanami would give him a long tainted answer.

They must of fallen asleep because When he woke up he felt warmth pressed, hard against his body. He opened his eyes and then narrowed him at the almost normal sight.

Well..

No so normal.

His leg was laying lazily over Nanami's and his arms was Wrapped around her possesively. He wasn't used to the position, but it was cmfortable. He snuggled closer to her and sighed.

Letting his eyes close again, Thats when his bedroom door was thrown open and Gwen walked in. She froze up and swallowed, as she walked up to them.

The mother poked at Tomoe and smiled when he opened his eyes yet again. He was groggily but she didn't mind.

"I have to take Nanami home, I'm not interrupting am I?"

Tomoe shrugged his shoulders and shoved Nanami harshly with no expression on his face.

"Idiot, Your moms here."

Nanami opened her eyes and groaned, not wanting to get up just yet; but of course after Tomoe snarled at her and pitched her thigh she jumed up and gasped.

"P-PERVERT!"

"Go home." Tomoe mumbled and flopped back on his bed leaving Nanami's mom to laugh.

Yes, They were friends, And Things were as they always were.. Until Things start to happen that usauly don't happen..

And a certain fox starts to think to much about his so called, Best Friend..
