33. Who's He and Chemistry
Nanami looked at the school's clock and sighed; She had went to school but had left Tomoe alone at home. He didn't want to go, plus his arms were scared up badly.
She knew that he said he had got into a fight but the girl had a bad feeling in her gut that told her otherwise. Nanami sighed and tapped her pencil on her desk, completely ignoring that some guy had sat down in Tomoe's desk and was now looking at her intently.
She felt his eyes and soon stopped tapping. she turned her head to see a Black haired kid with blue eyes. He titled his head to the side in confusion and he pointed a clawed finger at her pencil.
"Are you frustrated or something?" He mumbled.
She blinked in surprise when she saw him. At first glance she could tell he was a demon; his hair was black. The only reason she knew was because she had hung out with demons all since she was five years old. He blinked his bright blue eyes and the girl sighed.
His eyes looked like Tomoe's in a way and for some reason his atittude reminded her of the white fox.
"Who are you?" She asked quite quickly.
The demon blinked and shock and then sighed lightly; his brushed a strand of black hair out of his eyes as he glanced at her from the side of his eyes. Nanami felt her heart thub rapidly. That was the look..
That Tomoe gave her..
The demon sighed lightly and then looked at her with a small smirk. The smile again, reminded her of her Best friend and it made her want to know his name even more...
"Masashi.." His voice leaked with seduction but at the same time he looked bored. She blinked as his name rang in her ears. He looked like Tomoe and yet he was so different. He seemed harsh and sad... Unlike Tomoe. Tomoe could be harsh but he had this thing about him that calmed her down.
"Hello, Masashi!" She smiled, " My name is Nanami!"
The demon looked at her and paused, He looked at her and then sighed heavily before nodding in awknowledgement.
"Um, Masashi. Your in Tomoe's desk." Nanami added shyly.
He looked at her and she could of sworn when she said Tomoe his lip snarled. Of course it could have been her imaginaion but the way he was staring at her blankly told her he didn't have any intention of moving.
"He's not here today." He muttered and fixed his books steadily on the desk. Nanami pouted but then laughed a bit. He was a lot like Tomoe. She snorted as class started. She wondered if Tomoe knew Masashi?
"So Your a low grade demon, Masashi?" Nanami asked as she stuffed sushi in her mouth.
She didn't know why but the demon had followed her to lunch; to be honest she saw him squirming and trying his best to get comfortable. Maybe it was the fact he was surrounded by tons of people? Or maybe because Kurama and Mizuki were glaring from a distance? She didn't know bu the seemed uneasy..
Maybe even embarrassed. She snorted and giggled as the demon looked at her and sighed lightly.
"Yes, I am." He muttered quietly to her so no one could hear and think they were crazy. Nanami let out a giggle as she looked at the flustered teen.
"Tomoe is a high-grade one!" She laughed, " But then again... His dad is a god."
Masashi looked at her and again she swore she saw him snarl. It made her pout and since Masashi wasn't used to it like Tomoe was? He almost panicked.
"My parents are demons." He spat out. His hand flew to his mouth but Nanami smiled. In a way? He was a lot like Tomoe. He cocked his head to the side and looked at her confused but the girl only sighed.
"Welcome to the club Masashi!: She giggled and took another bite of Sushi. He looked at her confused until she looked at him and smiled her innocent smile.
"My circle of friends!" She laughed as Masashi seemed a bit panicked. He stood up and opened his mouth until Kurama and Mizuki walked over to him and put their arms on his shoulders. Masashi mumbled something about stupid High-Grade demons. They both smirked and then sighed.
"If Nanami accepts you; then we do.. But there is the case of Tomoe accepting you into our group. You did insult his mother.."
Nanami looked at them and furrowed her brow, " What about Tomoe's mom?" She paused t think and then looked down as if in thought. She had to think of anytime Tomoe would mention his mom; but then again.. He never did.
She had never asked him either; once when she was little she was walking down the hall to hide her backpack. She saw Tomoe talking to a group of kids and one of them said something about Tomoe's mom. Thats when Tomoe snarled and backed the kid up to a wall.
When Nanami asked the fox about it he only shrugged it off and acted like it wasn't a big deal; but then again.. After thinking about it? It seemed like it was a huge deal..
Kurama and Mizuki looked at each other before looking back at Nanami and then sighing, " Nothing.." They both mumbled as they started to direct Masashi to a back room..
"Come on Masashi; We have a few things to talk about." They both said grinding their teeth.
The low-grade demon went pale as if he knew exactly what they were talking about when they meant talk. They still had to repay him for beating the crap out of Tomoe. He swallowed slowly as they dragged him away from Nanami. The girl smiled and waved, signifing that she had no clue that he was the one who almost broke Tomoe's ankle.
'Aw, crap.. He was so dead...'
Tomoe moaned and put the last of his homework down. He sighed heavily and laid his head back on the couch with a thud. He had been doing lots of make-up work and his head was killing him. HIs English was really hard and he no clue where to go with it.
He sighed lightly and closed his eyes until he felt could hands touch his neck and make him yelp. His instincst reconized the hands and his body jumped up and he nearly flopped off the couch; his fur bristling.
Tomoe gasped as his heart sped up and he tunred to look at Nanami. She giggled and sat beside him; her eyes shining with innocence.
"HEY! I'm home!"
Tomoe suddenly recomposed himself and slowly nodded; unsure why he was acting so foolish. This had been happening for only a short time and he decided just the other night that he would take it slow and try to figure out what was wrong with him.
His face burned as he crossed his arms and closed his eyes. His cheeks puffed out as he grunted half-heartly, " You have been gone a while; How was school?"
The girl smiled and then slumped against the couch, " Good, But really tiring.. How about your studies?"
Tomoe sighed and pushed a book away with his foot; " Fine.. " He mumbled and looked away. Right now his head wasn't only hurting; his mind was all fuzzy and he felt stupid to a whole new level. He paused as his face burned again and he chewed on the end of his thumbs claw.
Nanami looked at him and noticed he seemed to be in deep thought so she crawled up to him and looked him in the eye. The fox blinked out of his gaze and literally yelped and tried his best to back up from her.
Sadly his was on the couch so his back only pushed into the arm rest. He cursed mentally and looked away; his heart thudding and making his stomach turn into a sickly state. What the crap...
He paused again and seemed to trail off into thought again. He didn't know why he was acting this way.. It was irritating! He growled slightly at his own actions and his ears flattened as annoyance ran through him. The kitsune rolled his violet eyes and suddenly met Nanami's gaze.
It seemed to almost be like the Merry 'Go ' Round at the park; Their eyes met and now he couldn't even take a breath. His heart was pounding so hard it hurt and he hoped he was the only one who could hear it. Nanami got closer and leaned her head in; making Tomoe go stiff.
He blinked and then closed his eyes; expecting something he was to ashamed to except...
Then Nanami laid her forehead against his and she sighed lightly; ' Your burning up!" She pouted and pulled her head away, Tomoe blinked in shock and then flushed when he noticed his own atittude..
There was no way; Of course that wasn't going to happen without her touching his ears. Of course not.. Best friends didn't kiss without a reason too. He swallowed and noticed how stupid he felt... Something which was rare on his part.
He blinked and then stared at the girl; regaining his compose and then crossing his arms with a blank expression, " I am fine; I do not get sick like humans do. You know this already Nanami." He said, his voice and face void of emotion.
She sighed and shook her head, " You can't be feeling well; first your red and now your pale!" She wailed and then sniffed, " I'll get you something okay?"
Tomoe growled and then winced as his headache got a tad worse, " I am fine!" He grimaced out. Nanami noticed this and then puffed out her mouth with a, ' Right right' Expression.
The fox looked at her and then narrowed his eyes when she let her hand go forward. He furrowed his brow but then gasped when Nanami started to run her fingers over his mouth. Hsi heart stilled and his blinked when his muth opened slightly and Nanami's finger ran across his Kanine.
"Wow..." She muttered more toherself then to him; But then again he heard her. Tomoe tried to stop his teeth from bareing and getting sharper but as Nanami ran her finger over his mouth he gasped out, letting his eyes close as she carrassed him.
Then she pulled her hand away and shook her head, " You Idiot.. Your lips are dry to. Do you know that can be a sign of dehydration?" She pouted and then patted his head.
Tomoe's nose wrinckled up in a cute expression and for some reason they both stared at each other for a few second. The girl looked at his mouth again and her lips parted lightly. Then she touched her face and the arched her brow in confusion.
"I'll...' She paused, ' I'll get you some tea. Lay down, Okay?"
Tomoe nodded and adverted his gaze from Nanami. He blinked in confusion but then reached for his chemistry book. His gaze got wide when he saw the word, ' Chemistry; So he decided to get his math one instead. He sunk down into the couch and opened it to the middle.
There was no way that any of this had to do with chemistry! He growled under his breath as his ears flattened on his head. He blinked as he absently turned the pages in his book.
The kitsune pretended to read it but his mind was racing with a few thoughts; Then he put the book down and grabbed Nanami's hand before she got up. She looked at him and then furrowed her brow.
"You.." Tomoe sputtered, Trying to find the right words, " You smell different today; Is it a different scent of yours?" His face burned and Nanami looked at him shocked. Even she looked surprised.
"I met someone today at school!" She smiled and then frowned as she walked towards the kitchen, " You idiot fox; Your not supposed to smell girls.. Its perverted."
Tomoe glared at her and gaped," I was NOT smelling you!" He growled as embarrassment rattled his body. His hands clenched as he tried to sink down futher down into the couch.
"Uh-Huh.." Nanami clucked her tongue, " Pervert."
She walked out of the room but paused at the door when her face burned for only a second; Why was it.. That a few moments ago... All she could do was think about Tomoe's mouth?
She sighed lightly as she started to seep some tea.
She just hoped Tomoe could feel good.. Maybe this tea could help him? His ears were twitching a lot and Nanami knew that when his ears did that he had a headache. She grabbed a cup and paused..
She just Wanted Tomoe to feel better... That was all...
A/N : Just so You guys Know, Tomoe does not see Nanami as anything special yet! He's getting there though; Sadly Nanami and Tomoe are the slowest people alive!
