16. EH!?

'He felt his mouth move against someones, His face burned and his heart started to beat heavily. This was much more nice than dreaming about the Past' His lips pulled at hers, she tasted sweet and wonderful. He wasn't good at kissing but... At least she was letting him kiss her anyway... Letting him... Kiss... Her...'

"TOMOE!"

The foxes eyes jerked open and he covered them in pain. Bright light was shining in through his window and Mikage was wearing an apron. He smiled and pulled the covers off the teen making Tomoe moan in annoyance.

"Tomoe,time to get up!" He cheered, " School!"

Tomoe hissed and buried his head in his pillow, his messy, short hair scattered around him and he sighed out; breathing in the scent of his pillow.

He didn't want to go to school; He was to tired. His heart was pounding from his short lived dream and to be honest? He neer wanted to think about that dream ever again.

His head was hurting but the infection was gone. Thank goodness...

The fox forced himself up and then yawned behind his hand. His ears twitched about and his tail flattened against his legs. He was on and off last night. Sleep didn't come to him and he was so tired right now his legs were already asleep.

Tomoe lifted himself off his bed and pushed Mikage out the door. Then he started to get dressed. He pulled his shirt on and sighed as he brushed his hair.

He started to brush his teeth when he paused.

He had sharp kanines...

When he bit Nanami's lip; Did he bite to hard? Did he cut her lip?

Tomoe touched his kanine and then paused, His heart lurched and he face turned pink. What was he thinking? It didn't happen... I didn't happen..

He ran a hand through his hair and looked away from his mirror. He looked embarrassed...

"TOMOE! BREAKFAST!"

Tomoe stopped staring in the mirror and blushed, He was so stupid! He wasn't even gonna think about it! The fox rolled his eyes at his own actions and stomped out of his room. He was sure it was only because it was his first time kissing a girl in a such a way. That was the only reason he was remotely thinking about it.

He wouldn't think about it. After all these years and waiting and now he had finally kissed a girl truly. He paused.. This had to be a secret. If Kurama and Mizuki found out...

It would go from teasing him about not having a first kiss to teasing him about kissing Nanami. They wouldnt even know the whole story! Tomoe breathed out and walked into the kitchen.

Nanami was sitting at the table trying to an omlet. He furrowed his brow but then smirked when he saw her plucking mushrooms out and gagging. He snorted and walked over to her.

"Why are you taking out your favorite shitake?" He leaned against the chair and crossed his arms.

"TOMOEEE!" She sent him a glare and then pouted, " I don't like them you jerk.."

He rolled his eyes and grabbed a mushroom, " These mushrooms? They're delectable. Your the one with no taste." He dropped a mushroom on his tongue and smirked at Nanami ticked off look.

He shrugged his shoulders and started to grab a piece of bacon off a nearbye serving plate. He took a bite as Nanami gagged and plucked away. Mikage walked in and smiled at the two teens.

"TIME FOR SCHOOL!"

Nanami nodded quickly and pushed her plate away with force. Tomoe let his ears twitch at the waste but he only grabbed his school bag and waited for Nanami. The girl tied her sash and stood up.

They both made their way out the door before Mikage stopped Tomoe.

"Tomoe could you wait? Nanami go ahead.."

The girl arched her brow but nodded slowly. She walked out leaving Tomoe to look at his father confused.

"Watch yourself at school. I don't trust Nanami's dad." Tomoe nodded and Mikage patted his shoulder, " And, Behave. Remember! Self Control!" He wagged his finger and smiled.

Tomoe blushed, Now his father was at it?! All he did was...

Was...

Tomoe's ears flattened and his tail went limp. All he did was get caught Making Out with his Best friend. He swallowed and pushed his fathers hand off his shoulder.

"I'm going now." Tomoe hissed and went out the door, Maybe a bit flustered but not wanting to admit it out loud.

Tomoe growled as Mizuki poked him for the sixteenth time in two minutes. They were all one the roof eating lunch. Nanami had taken off again and now he was stuck with the worlds biggest idiots in history.

Mizuki lifted his hand to poke Tomoe again when the fox glared at him and lit his fox-fire.

Kurama sighed, " There no need for that you two. Drop the fire fox, and Mizuki? Stop whatever your doing."

Mizuki pouted while Tomoe rolled his eyes and stared down at his sasamochi. He poked at it with a clawed finger and then winced. He wasn't hungry..

The fox started to put the lid back on; but of course Kurama and Mizuki noticed.

"Whats up fox?" Kurama asked.

Mizuki nodded, " Sasamochi is your favorite! Plus you dozed off in class today.."

Tomoe looked at them and shrugged his shoulders. He gave them a blank expression; and then stared at his bento box. He was quiter than usual and Mizuki got a little worried.

The fox looked like he was thinking hard in his head; As if something was weighing on his mind.

Kurama waved his hand in front of his face and Tomoe soon glared at him harshly.

"What?" His voice was full of venom and Mizuki winced.

"Ouch, Someone is having homornal imbalences!" Kurama prodded.

Tomoe rolled his eyes and looked away, " What is with you and hormones?"

"Pfft, Maybe because they have been coming of you in waves?"

Tomoe glared at him and stood, He didn't have time for this. It wasn't him; this wasn't right.. Not now; not ever. The fox swallowed and started to grab the handle to the roofs door. When he opened it he saw a sight that embarrassed him.

Kurama walked over to the forzen fox and laughed at the sight while Mizuki covered his eyes.

There was these two teens kissing...

Tomoe watched for a few seconds before closing the door, His neck burned and he self consciously touched his own mouth. He felt his sharp kanine and swallowed a strange taste in his mouth.

Kurama looked at him confused before Tomoe's head snapped up and he opened the door again,

"HEY! Where are you going?!" Mizuki screeched.

Tomoe didn't have time to answer but he looked at him, " Chemistry class. I'm late.. Didnt you hear the bell?"

Kurama sighed, " Yeah, We did.. You were the one that was spaced out!"

The fox rolled his eyes and told them both to bug off, then he ran out the door towards his class room.

Kurama looked at Mizuki and paused, " What was that about?"

Mizuki hugged his snake pet and looked at Kurama with wide, innocent eyes, " Maybe he kissed someone? I mean, He looked embarrassed to see those teens kissing; and he touched his mouth."

Kurama gave him a blank look, " How are you so observant? Besides.. There's no way he would kiss anyone. The only way would be if he lost all control; and that would be if someone ..." The tengu stopped... His heart started to quicken and Mizki nodded his head up and down.

"If someone touches his ears." Mizuki finished with a smile, " And who likes to do that all the time?"

Kurama froze, suddenly feeling like an idiot on the side of the street with a ' Hit Me' Sign on his back. How could Mizuki see it. He knew something was off when Tomoe wasn't scarfing down his sasamochi but he didn't think it could be anything like that.

Nanami did lick his ear the other day.. But of Course Kurama learned not to read into things through the years; but it was a possiblity. Tomoe was dazed.. And that wasn't his personality at all. Plus he did touch his mouth; but then again.. He touched his tooth too.

Why would he? Kurama paused his thoughts, Then he couldn't think about anything else. There was no other reason for Tomoe to act that way.. Expect for...

"EH!? NANAMI AND TOMOE!? WHAT!?"

Tomoe sighed out with relief, School was over and he was going home. Just what he was planning; Nanami went home early with her mother due to some lawyer stuff. He sighed and fixed his school bag.

Today was strange, He couldn't think straight; but it could have been because he didn't get much sleep. Plus his thoughts were out of place..

He swallowed, He was kind of fasinated by his first kiss, and his second one. Not because it was Nanami, no...

In fact he was ashamed with that one fact. Nanami was troubled but he took advantage of it. To be truthful he didn't mean too..

She pulled on his ears and messed his emotions up. He... HATED what he did. Tomoe breathed out and looked ahead at the path.

She was his best friend, and he had a goal to fufill. He was going to find out more about her; but at the same time he would stay away from her father. That man..

Revived some Old scars and terrors.

The fox sighed out and started to make an importent turn; sadly he was stopped by Mizuki. The snake hugge dhis arm and Tomoe glared at him. Then Kurama stormed over and shook him,

"HOW WAS IT? HOW'D IT GO!? WAS THERE TONGUE!? HOW LONG DID IT LAST!?"

Tomoe blinked and pinched Kurama away from him. Once they both backed up a bit He crossed his arms.

"What are you two rambling about?" He spat out annoyed. Kurama was talking so fast he had no idea what he said at all. It was so quick even Tomoe's fox ears didn't catch it. He looked at them blankly, his eyes void of emotion.

Kurama took a deep and calmed himself down a bit, " We want to know everything; from beginning to end. Every detail, every tongue swish and moan!" He pointed an accusing finger at the fox.

Tomoe rolled his eye and breathed out, " Wha?"

Mizuki smiled, " Your kiss with Nanami-chan!"

The fox froze, his heart beating heavily in his chest, Was he that easy to read? Was he that transparent? His face burned as his fur bristled in shock, His eyes grew wide as his muscles tensed. Tomoe ears flopped over and his composure packed itself and fled.. All he could manage was..

" EH!?"
