Kitsune's or InuYoukai's Love?: Chapter 1

 

Chapter 1


"Hey, Ruu-chan!" Kagome yelled as she ran up to me.
"Hi, Kagome. What's up?" I said slowing down. She huffed and puffed stopping next to me. 
"Can you come over to my home, and help me study for the test on Monday? I really need it." She asked.
"Sure." I said. She smiled gratefully and said, "Wow, you're an angel, Ruu-chan. Can you be there around 4 today?".
It was 11 am, and I had time, "Yeah. I will.".
"Well, looks like Rusu-kun finally has a date?" Marci teased behind us. She hates me for some reason, I do not know why. She smirked and said, "You know it's doesn't count if it with the same gender as you.".
Kagome, hands on hips, "Shut up! Why do you pick on Ruusu-chan everyday for? She didn't do anything to you!".
"No, but she is pathetic. She doesn't have a boyfriend or a social life. " She laughed, and her two friend giggling with her.
"Well maybe she's waiting for the right guy, it's really none of your beeswax anyway." Kagome blasted.
"Well excuse me." Marci said. One of her friends glanced away and back, then tugged her shirt and said, "Marci, your boyfriend is here and it looks like he is mad.".
"Wha?!" She gasped then looked to the side. I followed, just ten feet from us, a red haired guy was leaned against a tree, looking unexpressed, and shaking his head slightly. It looks like her boyfriend never saw the real Marci before. I thought. Then he looks at me. Yeah, I know I'm ugly and fat, I heard it all, I thought, sighing. He's handsome too. 
"Come on Ruusu-chan." Kagome distracted me, taking my arm, "Let’s go to our class!".
"S-Shuuichi, what are you doing here?" Marci asked as I was pulled away from her. Shuuichi was walking up to her, glancing at me.
I let Kagome take me away. "That's Shuuichi Minamino-san from the neighboring school. He's really smart." She said softly.
"Yeah, he's very cute." I said, forgetting to lower my voice. I cringed slightly, thinking, everybody must have heard that, cause some giggled. Thank god we was at least in the range were Marci and her boyfriend couldn't hear. Or at least I thought. Until I looked back, and saw Shuuichi looking straight at me, with a smile on his face. Marci looked back glaring, then back at him, getting his attention, the smile turned into a frown, and he was speaking.
I shrugged it off, and we went to our classes.

In my last class, I was getting grief from Marci. "I really don't like you, Ruusu-! You bitch." She scowled, whispering behind me, as I work.
"I don't care." I whispered back, then sighed 'Leave me alone!' I thought.
"You better not be thinking of MY BOYFRIEND?" She whispered.
I didn't reply, just shrug, and continue my work.
I felt draggers at my back throughout the class. Then class ended, and I quickly got my stuff together and got the heck out of there. I was walking to the gates, when I saw Shuuichi standing next to them. He glanced my way. Then I hit the ground, paved ground. A foot tripped me. I skinned my hands, as I sat up and looked at him. "Ow." I hissed. I heard footsteps rushing toward me. "Marci, why did you trip her?!" Shuuichi asked, angrly. His hand gently took my wrists and held my hand up. They were blooding up some. I held my head down as I blushed.
"The bitch asked for it Shuuichi. She thinks she's better than I am. You should've heard her in class. She was awful to me, calling me a slut and whore." She whined.
"Liar." I whispered.
"Marci, I think, I made a mistake." Shuuichi said, He let my hands go and stood. I stood, and was about to leave. "No, don't go yet." Shuuichi said softly putting his hand on my shoulder. I looked back at him and blinked. He must of saw my red face, and slightly grinned.
Marci, stomp the ground, and said "Let the little bitch go, Shuuichi. She wants to break us up! She told me!".
"I made a mistake." Shuuichi said. Marci grinned, then Shuuichi turned to her and said, "I made a mistake in going out with you, Marci." Her grin dropped. Shuuichi, continued, "I have been watching you when you thought I wasn't and I am disappointed, Marci. You pick on her too much, for a reason I don't know. She hasn't really done anything to you, has she?". 
"What? You are breaking up with me?" Marci asked, "Cause I bully that pathetic bitch."
"She seems to be a nice person from what I can tell." Shuuichi replied, turning back to me taking my hand in one of his as he takes something from his pocket. He broke leaf, and gently smeared it on my cuts. I slightly hissed, but let him, hanging my head down so I couldn't let him see my face.. He continued, "It's over Marci."
Marci flamed, "You bitch!" She started.
"Blame yourself, Marci. You can blame me, but don't blame her!" Shuuichi said, taking my other hand and smearing the gel on it, "We haven't been going out for too long anyway. I am sure you can find another boyfriend. It's not going to be me anymore.".
"Sure, fine I can get any guy I want. You know, you never even kissed me yet!" She said walking away.
"A good thing too, I don't want to kiss a potty mouth." He whispered under his breath, thinking I couldn't hear him. But I did, and slightly laughed. "Oh you heard that?" He asked. I nodded then braved to look up at him. He was smiling. "How's your hands?". 
"Better." I said, as I looked at them, he still held them gently. "Thanks." I swallowed.
"Can I walk you home? If you don't mine." He asked.
"Oh, I'm not going home right now. Kagome is excepting me at her house at 4." I said.
He looked disappointed, then said, "Oh, well, I know the way there, can I walk you there?"
"Sure." I said. that lifted his spirited.
"So. Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked while we walked.
"No." I said. Short and sweet.
"Oh, that's good. I mean, I thought you would have one." He corrected himself.
"No, I think guys don't like me." I said absently.
He lifted a brow, "Why ever not? You're very pretty.".
I choked, "Huh?" I looked at him.
"We're here." He said.
I distracted looked at Kagome's house and shrine. "Oh. Thanks for escorting me here."
"It's no trouble." He said. 
I smiled. He slightly blushed, and asked, "I know this may be too sudden, but-"
"Oh, Ruusu-chan you came!" Kagome interrupted yelling.
"Hey." I said as she settle next to me.
"So did Minamino-san walk you here?" She asked grinning.
"Yeah." I said. 
Shuuichi smooth his hand through his long red hair and said, "I guess I will leave you girls to yourself." He turned. "Wait!" Kagome said grabbing his sleeve, "You're smart too, right? Can you stay and help me too?".
Shuuichi, glances at me, and said, "Sure." Then he looked at Kagome, "What subject?"
"Math?" She said.
"Good cause I suck at math." I said.
"Oh, but I need you help on the history test." She said, as she grabbed my sleeve and tug Shuuichi and me with her.
"You sit here." She practical threw Shuuichi to the floor, then she sat me next to him close, then she went around the other side of the table and sat, and said, "Okay, Help me."
I moved slightly and rubbed my arm against his. "S-sorry." I said softly, taking out my book for history. He smiled, and said, "It's okay.". 
I cleared my throat, and asked Kagome, who was grinning ear to ear at me, "What part do you need help on?".
"Oh! That part about everything since the last test!" She said.
I blinked. It's gonna be a long evening, I thought, sighing. "Okay.".
Shuuichi slightly chuckled.

About an hour or so, She remember half of what I told her. 
"That should at least get you a passing grade." I said, smiled.
"Thank you Ruusu-chan. You're such a doll." Kagome said, then asked Shuuichi, "Isn't she?"
"Yes she is." He smiled at me. 
I quickly adverted my eyes to Kagome and said, nervously, "N-Now, about your math?".
"Oh, yeah. I got my math book downstairs. I'll go get it!" She said and jetted out of the room leaving Shuuichi and I alone.
Shuuichi looks back at me, and the seconds tick by. And Kagome hadn't come back!
"She's taken her time." He said, then smile slyly.
"Y-Yeah." I replied, with a swallow at the end.
"I think, she wants us to be alone and get to know each other." He said.
"P-Probably." I said.
He chuckles, and said, "You're not much of a talker are you?".
"No." I said, playing with a pencil on the table.
"You kind of remind me of a friend of mine. He's not a talker either. He's limited to one word mostly too." He laughed.
"Oh." I said, and smiled.
He laughed, and said, "What’s your last name? I already know your first.".
"Robbinzu." I said, looking back at the pencil in my hand.
"Robbinzu, Ruth-san. The name suits you. It's cute like you." He said.
I dropped the pencil, and it rolled across the table then dropped tot he floor. I went after it and when I went to pick it up, I saw a red piece in the floor. I picked it up too, and looked at it.
"Mm." I said, then was about to lay it on the table when there was a ruckus in the hall.
Shuuichi lifts his brow at me as we heard. "Kagome, when are you going to come back?" A male asked, annoyed. "Shh! Inuyasha why are you here?" Kagome said. They was right at the door in the hall. "And Why are you whispering Huh?" the male said loudly. "Shhhh!" Kagome said. "Why are you shhing me for!? This is your house and all! What's in there?" the male said loudly again and peeked. He blinked, then moved away from the door, "What are you trying to do? Match make or something?" the male said whispering, but only barely. "Shh! Inuyasha. I think they will be good together. And I know Ruu-chan likes him and all." Kagome said. My face flame and Shuuichi glanced at me and smiled. I'm gonna kill her, I thought. "Ruu-chan? Oh, yeah you said something about a girl you knew. So that's her?" He peeked again. then blinked, and moved away again, and whispered, "She's pretty, just don't let Miroku see her. You know he's a playboy." Inuyasha said, "and this guy? He looks like he's like Miroku himself.". Shuuichi, furrow his brows at the door. "Shh! No, he is not like Miroku. Would you go away!" Kagome hissed. "Why should I?" He said loudly, "They know we are out here anyway!" HE said loudly then strutted into the room. Wearing red suit and baseball cap covering his long silver haired head, and a sword on his side. Kagome came in, without her math book, and said, "Sorry it looks like I will have to postpone the math study.". "Alright." I said, I got my book and put it in my book bag, and I forgot about the red piece, as I tied it. "Sorry, Minamino-san." Kagome said. 
"It's fine." He said, then glanced at Inuyasha. I stood and noticed the tease atmosphere. Shuuichi and Inuyasha were death glaring at each other.
"You!" Inuyasha said.
"Yes?" Shuuichi said, polity, "Do I know you?"
Inuyasha clench his teeth, gasping his sword handle, "No, this is the first time we've meet.".
"Inuyasha! Behave! This is Shuuichi Minamino. He goes to the neighboring school to ours. Now Settle down!." Kagome said, fists on hips.
Inuyasha, let his sword handle go but still tense. Shuuichi was still sitting comfortable on the floor. "This is Inuyasha. He's a... Friend." Kagome said.
"Hi." I said, smiling. Inuyasha, glances at me, then blushes, and relaxes, "Hi.". 
Shuuichi notice then stood, and said, "Nice to meet you Inuyasha-san.". 
"Yeah, sure." Inuyasha said.
Kagome, sighs, and said, "Well it's still early, do you two want to eat dinner with us?".
"Sure." I said.
"Yes. I think I will too." Shuuichi said glancing at me.
"Hmpn! Of course you would fox." Inuyasha grumbled.
"W-well lets go down and eat!" Kagome said, nervously. We made our way downstairs and to the kitchen. I sat down in a chair, and Shuuichi was about to sit, but Inuyasha plumped down in the chair next to me. Shuuichi sat in front of Inuyasha and I on the other side, as he gave a hard glance at Inuyasha. We ate in silence mostly.
"This is good." I said, trying to break the silence.
"Yes it is. " Shuuichi agreed, smiling.
"Kagome's mom is a good cook." Inuyasha said, sipping the bowl.
"Mmm.mmm." Kagome said.
More silence.
Shuuichi glances at me, and said, "If you don't mind, Ruusu-chan. I could walk you home. It is dangerous for a girl to be out so late in the evening."
"Yes. Sure is. Especially with a fox out and about." Inuyasha said. Shuuichi gave him a hard glare.
I slightly laughed, and said, "Foxes are more afraid of me than I am of them. I love foxes, they are beautiful creatures.".
 They glance at me. 
"Yes, they are." Shuuichi said. 
"Hmpn, what ever. See if I care when one is nawing on you." Inuyasha said, going back to eating.
Shuuichi lifts a brow at him, then said, "A fox wouldn't naw on her, maybe lick though.". Inuyasha chokes spewing his soup. 
I slightly laughed.
Inuyasha, glares at him, and said, "You are a hentai! I knew it you are just like Miroku!".
 "Whoever this Miroku is, I can assure you I am not like him. I'm not a playboy as you said early.". Shuuichi said, taken and napkin and whipping off Inuyasha soup from his face.
"Damn, I should've known you heard that!" Inuyasha said, his fist hit the table.
"As loud as you spoke, the next house over could've heard, Inuyasha." Kagome intervene, "Now what is your deal?".
"My deal is he-" Inuyasha points at Shuuichi, standing, "He is a hentai and a fox at that! Just like Shippo!."
"The only hentai here is you. Why would you call me that?" Shuuichi asked, still sitting, folding the napkin, and then sitting it down.
"You said you would lick her!" Inuyasha said, stuttering.
Shuuichi, smiles, blushing, looking away, "Oh. But, I didn't say that. I said, A fox would lick her.".
"But you are one!" Inuyasha said.
Then Kagome put her hand over his mouth and said, "Now now, why are you two boys not getting along here?" She sweat drop.
"Cause a dog and foxes are enemies!" Inuyasha said into her hand.
"O-Okay." Kagome said, "Chill Inuyasha. Or don't make me say the word? Do you want to embarrass yourself further than you already have?". 
"Huh?" Inuyasha said,
"And why would you say that? Shippo and you are friends!" Kagome said whispering.
"That's cause he's just a kid!" Inuyasha said, sitting back down.
"Now can you at least act grown up Inuyasha?" Kagome mumbled.
"Sure, sure." Inuyasha said, glaring at Shuuichi.
Shuuichi, slightly smiles, then glances at me, and said, "Are you ready to go home?".
"Y-Yeah." I said standing, "Thanks for the meal, Kagome, tell your mom it was great."
She smiled, "Sure. See you at school tomorrow."
"Ok. Bye Inuyasha-san." I said.
He just nodded his head, as we left.

As we walked home.
"Inuyasha seemed to like you." Shuuichi said.
"Oh? But he didn't seem to like you." I said.
He chuckles, "Seems like it."
We walked in silence until we got to my house.
"Thanks for walking me home, Shuuichi-san." I said.
"You're welcome. But, Just call me Shuuichi, if you don't mind." He said.
I blushed, and said, "Oh, ok. Shuuichi."
He smiled, and said, "What time do you get up to go to school? I would like to walk you there in the morning."
"At 7am. I leave around 7:30." I said.
"Great. I will meet you here tomorrow morning then." He smiled.
"Sure. B-Bye." I said, as I stepped on the step.
"Bye." He said, smiling, then bowed, and left. looking back a few times.
I went inside my home and shut the door.
