Chap 4
How Shippo met Tsuki
The fox tike grew in leaps and bounds once the stress of Naraku's drama was over and done. He bounced between Kaede and Rin and Miroku and Sango when he wasn't at fox demon training until Inuyasha married Kagome. Then he called their house his home. He excelled at school. He wasn't afraid to put in a little hard work and quickly moved to the top of his class. He didn't date or participate in extracurricular activities. He was essentially a nerd.
There were several vixens in the fox school. They were bullies. Tsuki and her three girlfriends were betting on which one of them could trick "the nerd" into a date them first. Tsuki was a petite dainty fox with a star on her forehead, who had fallen into the wrong crowd. From the beginning she knew she didn't belong with the others but she remained with them. Tsuki watch Shippo. She realized he had something more going for him and she decided she couldn't lower herself to trick him.
During the next fox demon exams the first two vixens attempted to trick Shippo into dating them but they were sabotaged by Tsuki. Tsuki kept her interference secret from the first two of the gang but the third was trickier and upon realizing there was something suspicious about her friends' failures, she confronted Tsuki.
They walked silently to a private outdoor clearing. Then they secured the area to talk.
"What's the deal, Tsuki?! I know you interfered with our friends tricks. We all bet on who could bewitch Shippo. Why are you interfering? That's not good sportsmanship." The taller vixen barked at Tsuki, her hands were on her hips and she leaned forward as to intimidate Tsuki.
Shippo had suspected something was going on. He had noticed the group of vixens. After all he was crushing on the one with the star on her forehead. Following two of the vixen to this private location he assumed the shape of a bush and listened. Upon hearing that he was the target of their bet he nearly blew his cover to chew them both out.
However before he could say anything Tsuki spoke up.
"It's not right. Shippo is a good guy. He doesn't need us playing with his emotions. He deserves someone who will treat him right," Tsuki put her hands on her hips and stuck out her jaw.
'Interesting, she's defending me?' Shippo breathed softly so as not to give away his position.
"HA! Did you fall in love with that hairball?!" Tsuki's friend barked as she dropped her hands, leaned back and started chuckling.
"What does it matter to you? You're just a mean vixen out for herself! I've known you for most of my schooling. You don't deserve a date with a great guy like him. Did you know he was orphaned and raised by the beings that fought Naraku?! They saved our country. He deserves better than the likes of us. None of us should get a date from him." The vixens stared at each other, growling and posturing.
Meanwhile, Shippo's mouth had fallen open. 'How did she know that? She thinks I'm great? She thinks I deserve someone better. Tee hee. Time for a prank.'
Puff!
A pink cloud covered the bush and out of the smoke walked an elder appearing fox. Graying hairs speckled his black fur.
Disguising his voice in the deeper, crackly version of their oldest professor Shippo pointed to the two girls.
"What are you two doing here? There's an exam going on. Get to work!"
The girl foxes startled and stuttered in unison, "Yes sir, right away sir." They were about to blast off to another area of the exam when another puff was heard.
Startled all three youngsters looked to the location of the sound. There stood the real gray speckled black fox examiner, frowning at them.
"All three of you! Come with me NOW! Such poor behavior on all of your parts! And Shippo, points off for the extra gray you put in my beautiful coat. I don't have that many gray hairs! I declare youngsters these days…." The elder grumbled the end of his sentence under his breath. Stomping his feet and waving his hands he clearly displayed his frustration with his students.
Meanwhile the two vixens' heads spun quickly to look at the imposter then back at the examiner. Honestly, they looked like twins. The rally of heads continued for two to three more times before they both cried out.
"Wait! Did you say Shippo!" A look of embarrassment passed over Tsuki's face.
"In the flesh," smiled Shippo as he puffed into his normal form. "Hero of the battle of Naraku and inventor of the "Heart Scar" at your service!" He bowed elegantly and swept his tail with a little extra flare.
The taller vixen blushed and then whispered. "Tsuki, we need to talk. We can still get out of this. After all we did try to trick him." Then louder she exclaimed, " Examiner, we planned this."
The examiner stared over the top of his glasses. His eyes popped in disbelief. Just when he thought he'd seen it all. Smirking he commanded.
"It can wait. Come with me and we'll listen to your excuses. I'm sure they will be humorous."
Sarcasm dripped from his voice.
Shippo followed the examiner. 'Stupid girls. Here I thought she might have actually liked me. Sigh.' The fox's tail drooped as he trudged after the examiner.
Behind Shippo the two vixens followed just as despondently. The taller vixen didn't want a bad mark on her record so her mind was spinning at how to get out of this predicament. While her friend's mind was focused on selfish thoughts, Tsuki was vacillating between being embarrassed and being sad that Shippo was hurt. She saw the drooping tail. He deserved so much better. 'So what if I drop several grades for this. Shippo shouldn't take the heat for this. I'll tell the truth.' As Tsuki conceded her fate, her tail rose and she walked with confidence and purpose.
At the examiner's office the three were split and put in separate rooms. The examiner interviewed them each individually.
Shippo and Tsuki's stories matched what he had witnessed. However, the tall vixen's story was so far-fetched she was kicked out of the remainder of the exam. The examiner stopped and spoke privately to Shippo before he released Tsuki and Shippo to finish their exams. Shippo smiled mischievously.
As the two foxes walked from the examiner's office, Tsuki asked,
"What did you tell him anyway?"
Shippo stopped and turned to face the pretty visage that was adorned with a star. He smiled.
"I told him the truth. What about you?"
"I told him the truth too. I think you deserve better than four conniving vixens," Tsuki hung her head. "I'm sorry Shippo."
"I told him the truth. I am the Hero of the battle of Naraku and inventor of the "Heart Scar". That wasn't a lie. As for your declaration that I deserve someone better than you, I think…," he slowed his speech and drew out his words. "I should make my mind up for myself. I'll accept your apology if you go on a date with me." He ended his statement with a cocky smile.
Shippo looked deep in Tsuki's eyes.
"I'd like that," she blushed and smiled.
Immediately their grade cards popped in their hands. Both had gone up a level. Shippo grabbed her by the waist and twirled her around as he cried out in joy. When he released her she looked at him with a confused expression.
"I don't understand."
Tsuki stared at the card.
"The examiner said I would be an idiot if I didn't get a date with you and since you made a bet to get a date with me, we both won." Smiling he offered a paw to the pretty little vixen.
Several dates later Shippo insisted Tsuki meet his "parents". Kagome gushed all over the vixen. Inuyasha just smiled with pride. In front of his parents and friends, Shippo proposed and Tsuki accepted. The groom's mother went a little crazy with preparing a feast but Inuyasha assured the young couple it would only delay their mating by a couple of hours and he disappeared into the forest to find the biggest deer to celebrate their nuptials.
Tsuki watched in wonder at Shippo's parents frenzied activities. Snorting Shippo laughed, "Don't be surprised my beauty. This is just their way to show their love for us. Watch out she will smother you in mother's love. Just wait 'til we have kits."
The beauty just blushed.
