Reincarnated; Nine Tailed Fox With A Temper

CHAPTER 11

Alya and Nyx were on their way back home. It was already dark, and most of the townspeople were in their homes. The cool evening breeze blew, causing a silent and refreshing atmosphere. The street lanterns glowed brightly as soon as the sky got dark.

Alya felt at ease, she walked slowly as the cool breeze hit her face. Her hair and tail swayed back and forth along with the motion of the wind.

Nyx walked beside her, she still carried all the things that Alya bought, while Alya wasn't holding anything.

Nyx was exhausted. She stole a few glances, and the more glances she took, the more her frustration grew.

With a forced smile, she spoke up.

"Hey Alya, if you don't mind carrying some of your things by yourself, that'll be much appreciated."

"Huh?"

Nyx's got Alya's attention. Her expression instantly dulled the moment she saw Nyx's face.

Nyx's lips twitched with the look she gave her.

Alya then glanced at the bags she was holding, they looked heavy. Alya had bought a lot of things; a few were fun things and necessities, while most were different kinds of food, fruits and vegetables, and snacks. She was so tempted that she bought all the food she could find. And she did not intend to share.

Alya had only the bags of food on her mind. She stretched her hand towards the bags closest to her.

"I'll hold the bags of food, carry the rest."

Nyx was not surprised. With a few loads off her hands, Nyx could walk properly. The food bags were the heaviest.

"So, how was your day in town?" Nyx suddenly asked as she stretched her limbs. Alya's eyes quickly shone.

"Not bad."

Nyx gazed at the happy redhead and smiled. Alya's eyes reflected the bright golden lights of the street lanterns. They really looked like orbs filled with dancing flames.

"Good to know." She nodded satisfied. Moments later, she suddenly remembered something. Her brows raised.

"Oh, Alya, do you still remember the exact moment you glared at me earlier today?"

As soon as she heard Nyx's question, her expression dulled once again.

"I always glare at you. You're annoying."

"Such a sharp tongue you have....makes me want to cut it off." Despite her words, Nyx had a warm smile on her face. Alya didn't utter a word then. She felt shivers go up her spine, and it was definitely not the cold night air. Nyx's words didn't sound like some joke; she could feel the severity of her words and aura.

"What's with the silence, cat got your tongue?" The moment she asked that, Alya felt the air around her lips get very dense. She gasped and moved back swiftly on instinct.

*Snap*

At that exact moment, she heard the sound of scissors snapping.

*chuckles*

Alya had unconsciously halted her breath the moment she saw Nyx's finger in a scissors position. The streets felt strangely silent.

"Get it?" Nyx chuckled as her cat ears twitched.

Alya didn't have the stomach to comment. Her bloodshot eyes were glued to Nyx's slender fingers. She could swear she heard the sound of scissors snapping. And she was sure she felt a dangerously sharp aura in front of her lips before she jerked back fearfully on instinct.
