I think... I'm in love with my mistress

Chapter 23

Tomoe P.O.V

Well this is just a waste of my time.

I was sitting in (Y/n)'s English class, staring out of the wide windows. This day so far has been pretty dull–don't get me wrong, I love spending time with (Y/n). It's just that I think school is pretty tedious, what is the point of attending school when you're a god? I don't see the appeal.

Anyway, I could be doing way more important things than keeping my eyes on (Y/n). I wouldn't need to watch her every move if it was for Kurama, that bastard...

That Tengu is fully aware that I get protective of my mistress, and yet, he still thinks it's ok to laying his vile eyes all over her like she is a prize to be won. God, just the thought of Kurama doing even the slightest thing to (Y/n) sickens me. So that's why I must look out for her, follow her around.

Make sure she's safe...

As I draw my attention back to the front of the class, I quickly glance at (Y/n), who was seated two desks to my right. She had her full attention on the teacher, who was going on about persuasive text and whatnot. (Y/n) was softly tapping her pencil on top of her wooden desk, her lips pursed as she concentrated on jotting down notes as the teacher spoke.

I turned my gaze back to the teacher, listening to the teacher pointless lecture, when I suddenly feel like someone's eyes are piercing holes into the back of my head.

I 'accidentally' drop my pencil on the floor, and as I'm picking it up I gaze behind me. A few rows behind me to my left was the one and only Kurama, smirking at me, his grey eyes scanning over me. I glare at him quickly before sitting back up.

I wonder when this torture will be over?

Reader's P.O.V

I'm so happy that Tomoe decided to come to school today. Knowing that he is here just makes me happy, I know I may sound clingy and needy but I really do love him...

***

As the final bell of the day chimed, everyone headed out of school grounds, steadily making their way home. I stood side by side with Kurama and Tomoe, I glanced up at the both of them.

They were staring intensively at each other, their eyes narrowed, their lips curled in a snarl.

I wish these two will just get along, they have been fighting all day!

(FlashBack)

"The answer is five." Kurama stated as he stood up in pride. The maths teacher was about to speak when a sudden sound arouses from the back of the class.

Tomoe.

He stared at the red haired student, his face shrouded with dismay. He was sniggering at Kurama's answer.

"Wow, your really as dumb as you look. The answer isn't five, it's obviously fifteen. You must of miscalculated it somehow, not surprising." He scolded, some students nodded in agreement.

Kurama slowly turned his head toward Tomoe, snarling at his know-it-all attitude.

"Doesn't mean you have to be a bastard about it, you know it all." He mumbled, Tomoe just triumphantly smirked as he leant back on his chair. The teacher continued with the lesson.

(End of FlashBack)

They have been at each other's throats all day long, but I guess they will eventually warm up to each other...eventually.

They had a look of appal on their face as we continued to walk to the shrine.

It was awkwardly silent...

"Ummm, hey. Did you enjoy your day at school Tomoe?" I asked, trying to break the ice.

"It's was alright." He bluntly stated, averting his gaze from Kurama to look at me, his lips curled into a slight smile.

"That's good. I'm glad." I joyfully said. I gently brushed my hand against his, he smiled and took my hand. I blushed slightly, leaning closer to him.

As we were about five minutes away from the shrine, Kurama suddenly stopped mid stride.

"Hey, I'm rather famish. Let's go to that cafe," Kurama suggested as he pointed to a near by cafe. I liked that idea, but Tomoe disagreed.

"No. Let's just get to the shrine as soon as possible, I have many chores to attend to."

"Then go by yourself. Me and (Y/n) can go." Kurama smirked as he pulled me to his chest, Tomoe just scoffed at him.

"No. I must be with my mistress at all times, and I would never leave her alone with a shifty Tengu like yourself." Tomoe pulled at my arm, but Kurama kept a tight grip on my shoulders.

"She's perfectly fine with me, I'll treat her fine." He whispered the last part in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

Suddenly Tomoe lashed out at Kurama, grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling it closer to his face.

"If you even lay a finger on her, I will murder you."

"Try me."

A lot of tension suddenly surrounded us, a dark aroma forming just from the snarky comments they threw at each other.

Suddenly out of nowhere, a familiar voice appears next to me.

"Hey lady (Y/n)!!"

It's was Mizuki.

He looked as joyful as always.

"What's happening with them?" He asked, pointing to the squabbling guys.

"Just some...problems." I muttered, sheepishly rubbing the back of my head.

"You bastard! Why are you so annoying?"

"Bastard, bastard, bastard. Is that the only word you know Kurama? How about you read a dictionary."

"S-shut up you asshole!"

"Oh wow, you finally learnt a new word. Congratulations."

They were fighting like cats and dogs, and it was about to get worse. Kurama had his hands firmly around Tomoe's neck, Tomoe had his around Kurama's  arms, digging his fingers deep into his skin.

"H-hey guys, calm down." Mizuki said, trying to calm them, Tomoe just hissed. Mizuki then shoved Kurama's back hard.

"Stop it!"

Suddenly Tomoe's hissing stopped, I looked at them.

And what I saw was truly horrifying...
