Paws and Fangs

Chapter 8

Satoshi Mochida sighed heavily, swinging his legs off the edge of the building. He looked up at the night sky, the starts were visible tonight.

Next to him, Yoshiki Kishinuma was doing handstands on the edge of the building, like some daredevil who didn't value his life at all. Done with his exercise, he sat down next to Satoshi and looked over the nicely lit up Tokyo city.

"So, you still looking for Nakashima?" Yoshiki suddenly asked, looking over at the brunette. Satoshi winced at the name. "I gave up on that the other day, Yoshiki" He looked down at his swinging feet.

Yoshiki's brows knitted together in confusion. "Why is that? You do love her, right?" The blonde asked him, punching his shoulder in a playful way.

Satoshi looked up from his feet and at Yoshiki. "Yeah, that is true...but she has that vampire to take care of her now, I'm sure I'm not needed in her life anymore..." Satoshi trailed off.

Yoshiki frowned. "Oi, don't go losing hope, man!" He slapped his shoulder, "You gotta be the man! You gotta be the one, to jump in there, swoop her up in your arms and flee! No more vampire problems!" Yoshiki exclaimed, chuckling.

Satoshi let out a soft laugh, before sighing afterwards. "Hm, thanks for your support, Yoshiki, but I don't need Naomi anymore, and to be honest, I can already tell she's head over heels for that vampire, so they'd be no point in trying" He ran a hand through his brown hair, a sad smile on his lips.

Yoshiki sighed, shaking his head. "Honestly, Satoshi, you give up too easily..." He wrapped an arm around Satoshi's neck and brought him closer. "Well, whatever you say, bro" He finally laughed, rubbing Satoshi's head with his knuckle.

Satoshi smiled at his silliness. Finally letting go, Satoshi fixed his messed hair. "So, what you getting Shinozaki for Christmas?" Satoshi asked, facing to look at the blonde. Yoshiki smirked. "A jewel necklace" He said, rubbing the back of his neck.

Satoshi whistled in amazement, "Where the heck did you get the Yen for that? We can hardly afford food with the Yen we have in pockets" Satoshi exclaimed, leaning forward on his elbows.  Yoshiki laughed nervously. "Lets just say, I know a guy..." He gave Satoshi a look.

Satoshi knew that was a sign not to question him. Sighing, he stood up. "Well, we better get back to the cave, I'm pretty sure Shinozaki and Yuka are missing our company" Satoshi smiled, offering a hand to Yoshiki.

Yoshiki smiled smugly, taking the boy's hand and getting to his feet. "Your probably right there, lets go" And with that, they leaped off the edge.

"Why am I wearing this?!?!?" Seiko yelled, grabbing at the reindeer antlers propped on on her head. Naomi chuckled, examining Seiko's outfit. Seiko was currently wearing a full body suit of a reindeer, along with the antlers and red nose, of course.

Naomi herself, was wearing a girl Santa outfit with a red skirt, with some sort of sexy aura, if you would ask Seiko, that is. Naomi stopped her laughing and smiled at the shorter girl. "Because, its Christmas!" Naomi exclaimed, throwing her arms in the air.

Seiko huffed, crossing her arms across her chest. "So? Did we really need to get this festive?" Seiko asked the werewolf, fingering at her antlers. Naomi pouted. "Wow, you've changed a lot since we were kids, Seiko. You loved Christmas!" Naomi said, poking Seiko in the chest.

Seiko slapped her hand away. "The love died ever since I became a blood sucker" She frowned at the slightly taller girl. Naomi sighed, placing a hand on Seiko's shoulder.

"Geez, Seiko, don't be so grumpy, its Christmas day"

"I don't care"

Naomi slapped Seiko on the head, brows knitted together. Seiko winced and rubbed the top of her head.
