59. DON'T YOU DARE!

'I like him.'

Nanami shuddered in her own shame and put a hand over her mouth, no. This coudln't be, she had always reframed from liking someone because of sexual abuse when she was younger. She never saw Tomoe in any other way but now? She thought he was hot and sexy, and she coudln't get his rare smile out of her head.

His lips tasted nice and his hair was soft. His ears were cute and they showed his emotion so well that She couldn't help but smile and giggle as they flattened and straightened. His tail was slick and it rocked back and forth his slender and yet broad hips.

He wore long sleeved shirts now, clothes of dark blue, and his pants were cackies or black comfort jeans. His white hiar fanned across his face in perfection and when he got confused or annoyed he would bite the tip of his lip and show off his sharp teeth.

He was handsome, but Nanami never thought she would ever think of Tomoe in such a way. She never thought that her best friend... She never thought that her heart woudl pound whenever he got to close. She never thought her cheeks woudl burn with a blush as his hand brushed hers.

This was the fourteen year old that took her out for ice-cream and helped her play pranks on the vendors. This was the teenage fox that carried her out of a river, something he hated more then anything, to help her from freezing to death.

This was the fox that would give her piggy back rides and get flustered at his fathers unuasal actions. She didn't understand it... Why? She felt like a pervert, a sicko. Falling in love with your best freind wasn't right, at least not in her eyes.

She knew everything about Tomoe, she had been with him through it all and now, her heart was pounding and hurting her at the thought of his violet eyes. His smile that made her jump and nearly swallow her dignity.

Sometimes he got so close that she couldn't breath, it happened so much lately that she didn't think about it as unusal. She just thought he was her best freind and it was normal. She liked him and yet she didn't know anything about him.

Well, She did.. But not as much as she should have known. Like why was he exactly arguing with his father? Why did he have those scars? Did he really have to go through things like that?

Her heart was pounding and the girl pressed a hand to her chest, trying to calm it down. Sadly that wasn't working, it wasn't going to. She already knew it.. But she wanted it to. The worst thing of this was that she knew already that Tomoe was NOT interested in love...

Not anything even close to it.

Nanami winced, It wasn't that he would never accepct it, but Tomoe was the one that didn't want it. He had this heart about him that was so different from certain things. Plus Nanami wanted to know so much more about him, Why he cut, why he didn't want her touching his ears, Where his mother was and why he was so offensive of it.

Nanami stood with shaky legs and winced, She wanted to knwo more about him. She wanted to see him and hold him when he cried. She knew he did but it did so alone and it hurt in a great way. To her A crush wasn't just hugs and kisses, it was..

Something so much more than that.

She had always wanted to be there for Tomoe, to be with him when he cried, or to talk to him when he didn't understand. She was the only one that really did so; but at the time she always wanted him to find someone to be kind to him in everyway possible.

But now?

If she saw him with another girl she would be heart broken. She wouldn't know what to do or say, Would she smile? No..Nanami knew she woudln't and thats why her stomach was twisting and her heart was throbbing so hard it caused her head to hurt greatly.

She had a crush on Tomoe, In fact she probably had one for a while but she never realized it. She bit her lip and looked around, not catching Mizuki as he darted into his room and quietly shut the door so no one new he was present on the make-out scene.

He had seen one of cameras but he never thought...

They they were like that with each other. They seemed so much like friends but the way they kissed showed so much chemistry that it was shocking. It would make sense, giving how long they had been with each other, but it was always innocent... But that wasn't at all.

The snake winced and slip down his door, his eyes wide. Nanami's confession was rining in his ears, but he knew if Tomoe knew? The fox would die... He would feel like he was seducer, a perv. Tomoe was Nanami's childhood friend.. Even though Nanami knew, That didn't mean Tomoe did.

Tomoe, Even when they talked to himand teased him.. He only saw Nanami as a friend, and Mizuki didn;t know if he should feel bad for the fox or be mad at him. Then again it wasn't Tomoe's fault that Nanami liked him now.

Mizuki winced, Oh please.. He didn't want this to ruin their friendship, Not now. Tomoe wasn't ready and Nanami was so innocent to the idea of crushes. Mizuki breathed in and swallowed, He hoped she didn't confess...

Or The friendship would crumple and tear at the seems, then what would Tomoe have? Mizuki knew exactly what he would have.

Depression and a knife..

Tomoe winced and buried his head in his pillow, he felt to hot at the moment.. His fangs didn't go down and if his Sobo saw that? He'd feel so sick, even more then he felt at the moment really.

The fox winced, Why did it not work? She make his lip bleed, it hurt but nothing happened? Why was that? He wanted it to stop, but the blood didn't work. It was killing him on the inside and he didn't know what to do or say in the manner.

His teeth pinched his tongue and he whimpered, what was going on!? He was still going through it? WHY!? Tomoe girmaced and let the covers move over his sweaty back as he flopped down and stared at the roof.

His mouth was tingling and making his stomach twist about, he and Nanami just...

Tomoe covered his mouth and winced as the feeling got to strong. He didn't know why he was acting like this but it was ticking him off to a great extent. Tomoe rolled on his side and touched his lip as the sting grew.

" Ow." He cursed a bit and swallowed from the pain. It hurt alot but it still didn't help his body stop. He ground his kanines, Knowing he had to be careful unless he wanted a kanine in his gum base. The things were tough.

Tomoe winced, He had to figure out why this was happening, or ride it out like he was going to do from the start. The fox didn't liek this feeling, he felt so insecure. It was annoying, he wanted this to stop! But then again his father was gone again. The idiot was always gone.

He hated to think that the man was his father, and if he found out about Areno? Tomoe didn't know what he would do. He didn't want to know really.. it twisted his stomach in nots to think about it. He was worried.. He really worried; but he wouldn't let people see it.

The fox swallowed and stared up at the roof, his eyes glassed over from being tired and his head slightly throbbed. He winced out as his room grew blurry and he slowly feel asleep, stupid fever.. It was making him so tired..

Very Tired.

Sobo hissed to herself as she walked through the market, She just had a VIVD vision of her grandson. The old woman rolled her eyes, knowing full well she had to scold him for being irresponsibe when she was gone. She couldn't beleive him some times..

She trusted him for a reason, but then again he was a teenager with a girl for a best friend. It made sense in a huge way; but it didn't give him an excuse. The women sighed out. What was she going to do? He was so young and yet at the age were he could find a mate.

She clucked her tongue and sighed out, They were so young.. but they grew so fast. The older woman sighed out and ran a hand through her hair. At least his OTHER Grandmother wasn't in the picture. She hated Tomoe with a great passion.

She had disowned the child but she still had watched the child when Mikage codln't afford babysitting. That woman... She was heartless. When she did watch Tomoe the child litterally ran off to Nanami's house, not knowing it was more dangerous there; But he never came home hurt which surprised Sobo, until she realized he and Nanami went to the park.

She chuckled, They were smart even at that age, Once when they were small she caught them walking down the street. Tomoe was holding Nanami hand and she was crying as if she was hurt. Then the little fox picked the girl up, ( With great Struggle ) And wobbled her to a bench before he patched her up.

The woman had thought it was cute and rather funny in a way, but he was always watching over her since they were little. Now they were older though.. And things between them were so different but so much the same.

The older woman chuckled and shook her head, She couldn't count all the thoughts, dreams and kisses they had that disturbed them. She had to shake her head at it really, but now Nanami knew she liked Tomoe.. And it worried the old woman.

But what really worried her was when her cell phone rang to life and She saw Mikages caller ID. The woman winced, Knowing why he was calling. She was the goddess of the Past and present, Sadly the future was clouded for her. She wished she coudl see it, but then again.. she was kind of happy she didn't have to see it. Sometimes things were to much for an old woman...

" Hello?" She sighed out until she was met with a cold voice.

" How long have you known!?" The cold voice cursed and she sighed out, This man was so stubborn she swore she wondered how he was hers.

" Son.."

" NO!" Mikage hissed and she heard a sqeal of tires, She swallowed.

" Where are you going!?" She fumed out, already knowing as she almost dropped her shopping bag. He didn't dare! If he did he woudl only his kill Tomoe! The teen wouldn't make it! What about all the people he knew!?

The man huffed on the other side of the phone, ' Easy. I'm keeping him far away from his new principal. I'm pulling him out of the school.. I'll find another later."

" MIKAGE!" Sobo huffed, " DONT YOU DARE!"

The man hissed bitterly, she knew he was trying to protect Tomoe but Areno wasn't a bad man. He couldn't do this! What about Nanami? What about all their child hood memoires? What was this man thinking? She knew he was worried.. but this was wrong!

And who in gods name..

Told him that..

Areno was Tomoe's Principal?

Anybody else Hating on Mikage right now? I am! . HURT HIM WITH PITCH FORKS!

No I'm kidding, Mikage actually means best but hes acting rashly and isn't thinking about the after affects. He and Tomoe are acuatlly a lot alike..
