Chapter three
The way the apartment complex was set up was that there were two rooms on each level. There were staircases in the middle and on opposite sides of the hallways were the rooms. Roukin ran to Junni’s room saying over and over “I’m gonna visit Junni.” He knocked on the door twice and heard no one approach the door. He could hear commotion in the room though it seemed to be muffling his knocks. Roukin knocked once more and saw that the door was slightly ajar and shrugging without a second thought he walked in. He saw that most of the boxes had been unpacked and that the room was looking more like a home now. He sat on their couch in the middle of the living room and laid back to relax. He then heard the light humming of water running in a stall.
“Ah, nothing like the sound of running water to really relax you.” he said softly drifting to sleep.
After about a minute the cogs in his head began to turn and he quickly remembered what that little sound meant. Junni was taking a shower. Just the thought of a nude girl being a few feet away made him feel jumpy.
“Oh no I’m in her apartment alone while she’s taking a shower! What if she finds me here when she walks out? Now she’s going to really hate me! What should I do? I know! Hiding‘s good. But where? No wait there! It‘s perfect!” he said to himself as he ran around the apartment.
He then hid himself in her closet as he heard the water stop flowing. She walked to her room with a towel on her head and around her body. The sight of it almost gave him a nose bleed though he held his nose as she went into the room. She began humming as she walked and sat in her wooden desk chair and brought out a light blue book. It seemed to be a dairy that she was very eager to jump into. She sat humming and rocking to her own song while Roukin smiled at her enjoying the humorous show. She then bent over more and revealed a little of her bottom. Roukin smiled even more until he saw something that really surprised him.
“She has a tail!” he shouted before realizing that came out loud.
Junni turned and screamed as she hid her tail from him. As she did so her towel came completely off. Roukin then fell backwards his nose now a hosepipe of blood.
“What are you doing here?” she yelled retrieving her towel.
“I’m sorry, real sorry. Please forgive me. I didn’t mean to alarm you.” he said trying drastically to save himself and covering his head in habit.
“You saw it didn’t you? My tail?” she said with a sad face.
“Um...um...yeah. Are you part doe or something?”
Then for the first time Junni wasn’t red out of embarrassment but red out of anger.
“I’m not a doe you idiot! I’m part rabbit! Rabbit!”, she yelled.
Saying that she pulled off the towel on top of her head and out flowing with her hair were two brown rabbit ears. They were the same color as her hair and about the same length. She then did something Roukin had never experienced from any other woman. She ear smacked him.
*************************************************************************************
Sitting on Junni’s bed, Roukin sat staring at her floor. Junni however sat again in her desk chair but now facing Roukin as she glared at him. She was now in pink strawberry patterned pajamas and had changed of course later in the bathroom. After she had hit him she only turned around without a word, took the p.j.‘s out of her dresser , and put them on in the bathroom. Once done she sat right in the chair, wheeled around to him and simply glared. When Roukin had tried to leave she only pointed to the bed and told him to sit. He couldn’t take looking up into her piercing eyes so he just took to staring at his feet. After he couldn’t take the torture anymore he tried to talk though to the floor instead of her.
“Hey Junni I…”
“Go on ask away. I know you just find it incredible that I’m part rabbit.”
“Um wha?”
“Oh don’t play dumb with me. I know you just want to know everything. You want to tug on my ears, play with my tail, ask me stupid questions, all kinds of junk.”
“Well uh I was just gonna apologize but if you wouldn’t care if I played with your tail…”
“What?!”
“Nothing nothing I’m sorry. Please don’t hit me again. I really am sorry for hiding in your closet but I panicked! I was just going to see if I could hang out with you I swear! I didn’t know that you were in the shower and I didn’t want you to think I’m just some perverted jerk. Boy did I prove that point… Stupid Roukin! Stupid!”
At that point Roukin had started to punch himself on the head but was stopped by slightly tanned hands. When he looked up he saw Junni had gotten up and had began giving him a searching look that also showed confusion. Roukin noted that when she was confused she cocked her head to the side and her right ear bent in half. Of course he didn’t make an attempt to laugh at that fact but continued to look back at her.
“So you don’t care about the fact that I’m part rabbit? I doesn’t puzzle you at least a little?” she asked still with a searching look.
“No. Well yeah it’s pretty cool but your still part girl too. I mean your almost the same as me. Except pretty though.” he said laughing at his own joke.
Junni though didn’t laugh. She only sat there with the same look. When Roukin stopped laughing he almost apologized again but was interrupted again with embrace. Junni had jumped into his arms weeping. As he had expected from a girl who was part rabbit, her cry was small and in only in little sniffles and cute huffs. Roukin still though was confused as to why she had leapt upon him. He only held her close to him as she cried in his arms. When he listened closely he could hear Junni saying lightly over and over “thank you.” He was just about to kiss her on the forehead when the door opened. It was Minako with a bag of bento lunches and root beers. She had walked in saying that she was sorry for waking her but once she saw her and Roukin on top of each other still in embrace she froze. She looked from Roukin to Junni’s ears then straight at Junni then back to Roukin looking right in his eyes with utmost rage. In a flash she ran to Junni, picked her up by the collar of her Pjs with one hand and went straight for Roukin’s head with the other before Junni yelled “Sister stop!” Before Minako had slugged Roukin’s face Junni had stopped her raised hand with one of her ears. Minako only turned on her still holding her in the air like a rabbit out of a hat and argued.
“Junni what did this pervy b*****d do to you!? I know he pulled you on top of him and touched you! I saw it for myself! He must’ve thought it’d be fun to play with a little rabbit like a fox on the hunt. Junni did he hurt you? I swear I’ll…”
But Minako was cut off by Junni’s stern look. The look only screamed on phrase. Stop it. Minako stopped and put her down instantly. Junni then took Minako by the sleeve and pulled her into the living room. Roukin only could hear shouts by Minako that went a little like this…
“Junni tell me what’s going on!”
…
“What do you mean he’s different? He’s a perve Junni a perve!”
…
“A perve that cares? Are you insane! Perves only care about one thing Junni!”
…
“What! You showed him your ears! Why Junni? You told me that you wanted a normal life!”
…
“He treats you like your normal huh? Your only just another pair of boobs to him Junni.”
…
“Now don’t give me that look! You and those deep blues’ll see soon that this guy is just like any other person we’ve faced.”
…
“Are you sure he’s as different as you think?”
…
“You can feel it? Well we all know that your feelings are usually correct but… Junni!”
…
“Alright alright! I’ll lay off but I’m still watching him you hear me!”
As that last sentence was said Minako had reentered the room with Junni behind her. Junni still had tears in her eyes but she was smiling gently with relief. For a second Roukin thought that she was going to try and hit him again but she only pointed at the door. When Roukin got up and headed for the door as he walked past Junni she said to him in a whisper, “See you tomorrow k?”
