Thousand Years Promise 14 The Snake

"You're doing good so far for your first day back to school," Hotsuma commented trying to cheer up the dear good.

"Really?" Fuzuki asked still feeling doubtful. After missing school so long Fuzuki felt so far behind that she wasn't quite sure of some topics the teacher went over.

"Don't worry we can study later. Let's get something to eat first." Hotsuma a.s.sured her before standing up stretching his hand for her to take. Smiling she placed her hand in his, her eyes drifting to the empty desk next to her as she stood up. I wonder what kind of cla.s.smate that person is like. I hope the person's nice.

Smiling the two walked out of the cla.s.sroom down to the cafeteria. Sticking close to her tall cousin she avoids the curious eyes trailing after her. As soon as they reached the cafeteria loud chatter filled the air around before a voice yelled outstanding out among all the voices.

"Fuzu-chan!" Toko yelled out happily as she stood on her knees on the chair she was seating on, her hand waving out excitedly with a bright wide smile the moment she spotted the two walking in. The young girl had rushed to the cafeteria as soon as the lunch bell had rung in order to get a table by the window. All day she had felt nervous for her couisn's first day back to school and she wanted to make sure no one was bulling her. Yet then again Toko was sure no one would dare anger her brother, the cold raging red tiger that hid under the mask of a mischief fox.

Just like Hotsuma, her mother had become known for her name the flaming tiger back in her modeling years for the flaming force and pa.s.sion she used to rise up to the statues she was as well as the raging temper when someone crossed her path. From her pa.s.sion and temper, she had become strong and wild like a roaring tiger. Even now that name was still strongly used in the company she took over after Toko's father pa.s.sed away. She was not the gentle housewife but the flaming tiger that had to be taken strongly.

It was a shocking discovery back in their toddler years when the twins' parents found out that Hotsuma had inherited the tiger temper from his mother. Soon through the school years under the fox personality, he showed with the females a dangerous frightening name had been creating for the boy as a successor to the flaming tiger. The name Red Tiger.

Watching her brother and her dear cousin she smiled brightly waving her hands in the air. Fuzuki blushed embarra.s.sed by the attention she was now receiving from Toko's energetic eye-catching display.

" How was the cla.s.s? I was so worried about you all day. No one bullied you right?" Tokon began showering Fuzuki with questions as soon as the young girl sat down. Chuckling Hotsuma took a seat beside her placing his arm causally behind Fuzuki's chair.

"As if I would let anyone bully her. You have little faith in me, my dear sister." Hotsuma said with a prideful tone chuckling as he recalled the fright he placed on the males in their cla.s.s. Sighing Toko glared slightly at her brother's immaturity taking a seat in front of them.

"Yeah, yeah. Why don't you be useful and get Fuzu-chan something to eat."

"I can go myself-"

"No, I'll go." Hotsuma interrupted Fuzuki with a gentle smile ruffling her hair on the top of her head before standing up. Turning her head she watched as his tall figure walked across the cafeteria very well aware to all the girls and few guys eyes trailing after him. Fuzuki was no fool she knew her cousin was a very attractive guy and because of his eccentric personality, they were many who easily fell in love with him. Men and women alike were attracted to the guy who had no had no boundaries between the two genders.

Fuzuki watched as a tall white-haired guy walked up behind Hotsuma in line, a head taller then Hotsuma's already really tall form. A smirk appearing on the boy's face before he reached out wrapping an arm around Hotsuma's shoulders from behind.

"Oh no, it's him again," Toko said crossing her arms as she frowned in the boy's direction.

"Who's that?" Fuzuki asked as she took in the guy's appearance he was just as handsome as Hotsuma but with a bad boy playful manner. While Hotsuma seemed more like a child who loved pranks this guy was more like a rebel who enjoyed breaking rules.

"His name's Shugo Makis.h.i.+ma, he nothing but trouble way worse than my idiot brother," Toko said frowning as she waved her hand as if trying to get rid of a bad smell.

"Oh," Fuzuki said as she turned her head once again as she watched the to interacting. Hotsuma seemed calm in the boy's presence laughing loudly as the guy told him something. As if knowing of her staring the guy gazed up to met her own from the long distance between them. His gold eyes sparkling with mischief as he let out a smirk. Fuzuki couldn't help but let out a s.h.i.+ver under the guy's eyes she felt suddenly trapped, like a small prey under a snake's piercing eyes.

" He's like a snake," Toko muttered out almost as if knowing what Fuzuki was thinking about. Turning away Fuzuki placed her hand over her chest letting out a small breath.

"You okay?" Toko asked worriedly seeing the pale look in her cousin's face before a bright smile appeared on her face.

"It's him!" Turning in the direction she suddenly energized cousin was looking at, Fuzuki's began racing for a whole different reason as she caught sight of the platinum blonde standing by the entrance of the cafeteria. His eyes seeming to scan the cafeteria before his eyes met her own, a wave of green meeting sliver-blue as two seemed to keep on staring at one another. A big slam broke their stare as Hotsuma slammed the lunch tray on the table. Confused Fuzuki stared up at her cousin before her eyes widen in surprise at the dark angry look in the usual boy's smiling face. His glaring cold eyes fixed on the blonde's as the two seemed to stare at one another with darkness in their eyes that Fuzuki couldn't figure out.

"Hotsu-" Fuzuki was cut off as Hotsuma clenched his fist on the table his rage intensifying as he stared at the blonde. Worry and fright swelling in her chest as she stared at the two with one thought in her mind.

Why does Hotsuma hate him?
