45. The Black Fox of the Family, and Touch Them For Me...
Many Years Ago...
He looked at him; He was short but his white hair was blowing about in the wind. He looked sad; his violet eyes staring at the black coffin that was being lowered into the ground. Areno stayed back in the trees and looked at his Sisters child.
His Nephew. He looked on as he tugged at his black suit; he stood in the shade.. The only thing to be seen was his pale white skin as his black hair blowed about.
" Areno?"
The fox sighed as Rii laid her head on his shoulder, They stood in silence as he watched them lower his sister into the ground. People started to fan out and leave in their cars but Areno stood..
" We should go." Rii rubbed his back but he stayed silent; he hadn't been out of highschool that long and even now he coudln't believe it. It was shock to him; but the only way he found out was because Rii knew Gwen. They were best friends in Rii' younger years. Gwen was her babysitter...
The black haired fox slowly nodded when he saw Tomoe being picked up and carried away from his mommy. Areno caught the tears in his eyes as he gripped at his dads hair and cried his sisters name over and over again..
The black fox paused, He had cursed that child; told him to die.. even before he was born; but right now? All he could do was want to hug the little boy and wipe his tears away. His sister had asked him of something... Something special; he had turned it down and said no.
But he knew his sister; and he knew that her offer was still open, even if she wasn't there.. He swallowed and slowly unwound his arms from Rii; then he walked to the coffin's spot.. Dirt was being thrown in and everyone was gone as Areno stood there and swallowed.
" Hey.." His throat was dry and it croaked. He whimpered slightly and looked down at the black coffin. It had roses on it, and vines, " Remember what you wanted me to do?" he swallowed and he knew Rii was watching him break down.
He wanted to protect her son; even though his family would be angry. He wasn't under them.. at least he didn't want to be.
" I'll protect him..." Areno choked out as the dirt covered the top of the coffin, burying it. He choked up and looked down, " Elisa I'm sorry." He whimpered and wiped at his eyes; he never broke down like this.. Never. It wasn't like him; but.. Tomoe?
Was his nephew; And he was his uncle. No matter what happened? He would protect that little boy.. his sisters pride and joy. Even if it was from a distance. He knew that he and Miakge was not on good terms..Not after what he said to Elisa and her unborn child..
But maybe one day..
Areno would be allowed to meet Tomoe in person..
Areno looked down at the letter that he had just gotten; it ticked him off but for the first time in his life he wanted to laugh freely, and dance around. This letter; that was supossed to bring grief and hurt? It brought the fox great joy.
He laughed as he read it and started to thro whis stuff into boxes. He knew where he wanted to live and everything! He was free!
The letter read the following,
Dear Areno Kiku,
It has come to our attention that you went to Elisa Mikage's funeral. She has been banned from the family of Kiku; Thus making you a breaker of the family laws. We, with no regret, Hereby ban you as well. Elisa was an offender; and we have been told of your recent talking with her. Also a private investigater has found out that you have been recieving pictures of Elisa Mikage's Son, Tomoe Mikage.
So we say; Get Out, Pack your bags and leave. You have been disowned...
Your employers, The Kiku's.
Areno laughed; They didn't even say your parents; it was just.. Your employers. He then jumped when he got a knock on his door; He smirked to himself and opened it. Rii looked at him and smiled.
' Hey, I got dinner read-"
He hugged her suddenly and laughed in joy, " Rii! Rii guess what!" He cheered loudy with his heart throbbing happily. He was free from his parents the Kiku's. He didn't even have to see them anymore.. They saw him as a failure; and he was so happy.
"W-What?" She asked breathless as the well built fox hugged her tightly. She gasped for breath when he kissed her and laughed and he twirled her in a circle. Then he ran over to his bed and jumped up on it; he stood there and looked her in the eye.
" I GOT DISOWNED!" He laughed and flopped back as the girl blinked; She slowly started to giggle as he stood up, ran over to her and pulled his jacket on.
" Come on! We are going to celebrate!" He smirked at her and winked, " Wear something sexy."
Rii gasped and hit his shoulder playfully, " What is with you? I know your happy but what are you going to do with this new found freedom?"
Areno paused and then sighed in thought; He smiled slightly and picked up his picture album and handed it to her, " I'm going to meet him one day." He smirked as She looked at the pictures of the little kitsune know as Tomoe. She smiled slowed..
" I see.."
"That, AND!" He smiled, " I want to spend more time with you." He leaned his forehead against hers and smiled as she placed her hands on his chest. She sighed and then paused.
" How are you going to meet him?" She pouted and the kitsune sighed.
" Only time will tell." He smiled slightly and nuzzled her nose; then he pulled back and chewed his lip before smirking, " Lets go eat.. I'm starved."
The woman laughed as he pulled her out the door and let it slam; oh boy.. Areno was his one person. She started to laugh in cheer as he yanked her away to their favorite diner..
Yes, He was disowned; but.. She didn't care...
And he didn't seem to either; in fact Areno had always wanted to be his own person; and now? He coudl be just that. No more rules or No more does and donts. He was free.. and he was going to do whatever it took to get his family back together. Rii knew he could do ut.. She didn't fall in love with him for his looks..
No.. It was him entirely..
Tomoe ground his teeth and crossed his arms as his father knocked on the door and winced, " I'm going to go get the medicine that Ianri said you needed.." He trailed off as Tomoe glared at him and looked away. He didn't have time for his father, not now; not ever.
All he did was act like he was the father and their life was perfect; but the fox knew otherwise. The man hardly got upset and when he did? It was scary to say the least... But Tomoe.. He wanted to know if he could get his father mad.. On purpose.
He didn't have to cut himself for it.. He just had to do something that was against his father completely. What? He had no idea...
The fox rolled his eyes and pulled his blanket over his head; he had a major headache but he didn't care. He didn't want to look at his so called father. Tomoe felt like he raised himself; and that was pretty bad for someone his age. He sighed and picked at a piece of string as Mikage nodded and lightly walked out of the room.
He was disappionted... but he suspected Tomoe to be this way. It was like he hated him and it made since.. The father wasn't sure if anybody would like a work a holic father. The god sighed and ran a hand through his hair before he walked out of the house...
Completely forgetting his wallet and car keys..
Tomoe sighed lightly and shivered as he threw his coveres off and yawned; He didn't want to think about his father right now. In fact he wished he could do one thing that made him mad and upset.. Then maybe he would get it.
Maybe he would understand what it felt like to be alone in a situation. The fox shivered and hugged hinself as he looked at his bedroom door; then there was a lite knock and Nanami walked in slowly.
She smiled and Tomoe looked at her with wide eyes; His ears flopped from his illness and she sat on the end of his bed and looked at him, " How are you feeling?"
The fox paused and then sighed; His father was always telling him to be kind and held back. Maybe thats why he never really flirted or kissed a girl before his eighteenth birthday, Crap.. Nanami was his first kiss.
They both stared at each other until the fox bit his lip; unsure of the idea that popped into his head. He wondered what flirting was like? He wanted to...Try it... He leaned his head forward and put it against Nanami's, the girl could feel his fever seeping into her skin and she clucked her tempting tongue.
" You still have a high fever." She muttered this until Tomoe narrowed his eyes and swallowed inwardly. He looked at her and nuzzled his face closer to hers in an attempt to get closer. He crawled towards her and let his fanged teeth bare slightly..
He felt ashamed and guilty that Nanami was his practice target; but he didn't care.. He wanted to see if he could do this. His tail flicked about; willing to be touched to a small extent. His face burned but he continued to lean in; his eyes slitting.
His forehead pressed against hers and The girl's eyes grew wide as he pushed her back slightly. They both stared at each other until Tomoe moaned out, in seductive tones..
" Touch them.." He moaned out; his hormones already taking over. His embarrassment was growing by the second.. giving that Nanami had no clue to what touching his ears meant to him.
She blinked and looked at him confused and he rubbed his face against the side of hers as short breaths escaped his mouth. Nanami froze but then paused, " Touch what, Exaclty?"
Tomoe felt his eyes narrow in annoyance but he wasn't going to give up.. He leaned his mouth to her ear; his lips barely nipping it. This caused the girl to shudder in her school uniform..
" Touch My Ears.." He moaned out in a gasp of want. The girl blinked but slowly, reached her hands up, and started to run her fingers along the brims of his ears. Tomoe suddenly gasped out in a loud maon as he pressed his head against hers, His tail flicked about as his breath fanned rapidly against her cheeks.
His mouth watered as his fangs bared and threatened to make him loose control. He groaned as he found himself running his tongue over the side of the girls face, gasps coming out of his mouth. Nanami giggled because of his purrs but she continued to rub at his ears.
Tomoe's tail curled around her leg as he tried to stop himself from kissing her.. This was just an ear rub... But he liked it; more then he liked to admit. He kissed her jawline and let the small nips trail to her mouth.
They both stared at each other as Tomoe let his mouth open. His fangs beared as he started to lean over towards her as she looked at him in her sitting position; his mouth watering and longing for an open mouth kiss.. A sweet open mouth kiss; The girl paused as their breaths mingled.. and then without warning?
Mikage sighed as he walked inside and up the stairs to find his wallet. He knew he left it in his room.. The god sighed and paused slightly when he heard a noise come from his sons room. he blinked but slowly walked to the room and cracked the door.
Thats when his blood ran cold and he saw Nanami and Tomoe close to each other; Her hands were on his ears and he was sighing and moaning slightly. Then their mouths got ever so close and Mikage saw what type of kiss it was going to be.. And it made his stomach turn in shock..
How long had this been going on?!
Without warning he banged the door open; making Tomoe jerk his head up and stare at him in shock. He blinked as Mikage stood there panting like a dog; Then the fox went slightly pale and yet slightly guilty.
What was he thinking? Being rebellious because of a fight? That wasn't the answer to anything; if anything it caused more trouble.. And by the look in his father's eyes? He was in deep trouble..
Even if it was just going to a kiss; even if she was just touching his ears.. His father looked like he had to wrong idea flashing through his mind.
" WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE!?" The god fumed as he looked at Nanami and glared, " Go to your room!" Nanami blinked in shock; she didn't even know what was going on or what was wrong but she skipped out. The god slammed the door and stalked over to the fox teen.
" ANSWER ME! What was that!? And why are the sheets messy and why-"
Tomoe stared blankly at him before completely exploding, " WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?"
The god luaghed bitterly, " I'm saying how long have you been acting this way? I know its a new behaviour; giving that you woudl never do this because your not interested in a relationship.
Tomoe suddenly snapped; Why was it that his father though the knew everything? He didn't know everything about the fox, he was never home! Tomoe was always alone; being something that he didn't want to be, " How do you know if its new!?" Tomoe spewed out, " How do you know if I haven't slept with anyone before? Your never here to know!" He knew he had never slept with anyone before; his innocence was intact... But Mikage didn't know that.
Mikage stiffened and then slammed his hand on the door, " So help me Tomoe!" He glared at him and then pointed a shaking finger at the fox," Get your act together!"
Tomoe laughed bitterly, " MY act!? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME! I'm the son that makes you sick remember? I'm the son that had no idea he had an uncle , I'm the son thats a cutter and has issues. Well you know what?! I'll cut if I want too! Because it takes away all I have to deal with! Including you!" The fox whimpered and stormed past the god before growing lite headed. He blinked but then froze at the top of the steps.
His breath left him and he gasped for air.. He had stood up to quickly and everything was fading in and out; He gripped the hand rail but then blinked when he slipped.
His eyes grew wide before his body crashed into the steps, and everything was black before he hit the bottom.. The only thing that he coudl hear was screaming and sirens... Loud sirens that brought back memories of terror.
" Tomoe! TOMOE!" His father called for him..
But for some reason.. Tomoe..
Couldn't anwer him... The darkness that surrounded him and made it hard to breath?
It was stopping him...
