­ Chapter 2

(Marsey)

I sat in the passenger seat and watched our two new sons in the mirror on the back of the visor. I admit that the fox attracted my attention more than the other boy did. The fox was currently watching the scenery go by while the other boy was napping. We were on the highway headed to our modest condominium. It has four bed and two bathrooms and boasts an outside pool. Since I was a dentist and my husband was a lawyer we were able to afford such a place with enough money left over to live on. He managed to settle at least four cases every month and the proceeds from that and my work were quite profitable. When we drew closer to the city, the Fox covered his ears and cringed at all the noise. The other boy woke up and started looking around in wonder while the fox sat with his knees scrunched up and his paws over his ears in the fetal position.

The city was enormous! The sights the smells were so intoxicating they astounded me. I looked over briefly to see if my friend was as captivated by this place as I was. When I saw that the way he was sitting I found the city less enjoyable. "Sukura, Sukura can you hear me?" I whispered shaking him a little. One of his tails twitched in response so I took that as a yes. "Just wait a little longer ok we should be out of this soon." I smiled encouragingly at my friend but he did not see it, as his eyes were scrunched shut. "Sukura try just to focus on one thing like the sound of my voice and block everything else out." Said the Man. Slowly my friend uncurled and sat up straight. He took his paws off his ears and seemed to focus on breathing as sweat dripped off his face onto the floor of the car. When he finally opened his eyes and looked around, he seemed like he was in a much happier mood. "Thanks for the tip" He said to the man who absently nodded. We were approaching a park and as one, Sukura and I turned to look at the greenery as we slowly coasted by.

Traffic was defiantly heavier in this part of the city as was the smog but the scenery at least was good. It took several minutes for us to clear the traffic jam around the park and then we headed onto a road crowded with huge trucks. I counted 18 wheels and decided to ask about them.

"What are those?" I asked pointing to a nearby truck beside us. "It's called an 18 wheeler. You haven't seen them before?" I shook my head. "No ma'am, this is the first time I have ever seen one." "So what did they do for education at the Orphanage? Have you had any schooling?" "I'm in 7th grade and Sukura has been home schooled. He is in 6th grade." The woman turned to look at Sukura "Would you like to continue being home schooled or would you prefer going to a public school?" she asked. "I wouldn't mind going to a public school,"he answered.

While we had been talking, the Man had managed to make it through the other trucks and we were on a blank stretch of road heading up to a big building. "Well once we get home we will discuss your options. My name is Marsey and my husband's name is Greg." with that she turned back around and left us too our thoughts. It did not take long to reach their place and once inside we busied our self with unpacking. "You two are going to go to Violet Academy for boys. It is a private school and you will get proper education there. You will also be living at the school."

Two days later...

(Sukura)

"Well we are here," I said to Travis before heading up the stairs to my room. I rested my paw on the door before it opened on its own accord. I stepped back as a tan boy that seemed to be at least a year older than I stepped out. He did not see me though as his head was turned and a second person walked out the room. The second person's eyes went wide when he saw me. He shoved his friend out of the way, drew a knife from his pocket, and clicked it open. I dropped my bags and stepped back my tails were curled up under my uniform and I forcibly extended them ripping the fabric but they did give me enough reach to grab the boy's hand and apply force until he had to drop the knife.

"If I had known that pulling knives of fellow students was a common practice here I would have brought my own." I said staring him down coldly. His friend was sputtering in disbelief as I slowly retracted my tails. "Now then if you go for that knife again I won't hesitate to break something. Just back away slowly and, I won't have to hurt you."

Keeping my eyes on him, I gathered my stuff then turned to the other boy. "I'm your new roommate; I just got here today would you mind helping me unpack?" I did not wait for an answer I moved towards the dorm room and the other boy gave me a wide berth as he took off running. I turned and watched. "Or of course you could take off running like your friend." I muttered under my breath. Setting my bags down on the opposite bed, I wrinkled my muzzle at the clutter before closing the door behind me so I could change.

I stepped into the small bathroom and changed pants deliberately cutting out a hole and feeding my tails through before wrapping them around my middle and carefully working the shirt back over top of them. The uniform was white and had Violet Academy across the back as if a jersey on the front was the school emblem. I came out of the bathroom and started to unpack my bags putting my clothes in the other dresser. As I worked, I hummed an old tune that I had memorized. Time flew by as I put my stuff away and soon it was lunchtime.

I took one last look around my section of the room and gave a satisfied nod. Lifting up my shirt slightly I unwound my tails from around my waist slowly and stretched them before putting my shirt back down once more. I took a deep breath and when I heard steps in the hallway, I opened the door and stepped out stuffing the key into my pocket. An audible gasp emanated from the crowd behind me as I made my way forward. I stood straight and tall as I walked down the hall, the people parted like the Red Sea until I reached the bottoms of the stairs and saw another Furry in front of me. It was a wolf with black fur, the tips of the paws were purple and the fur on top of his head was green. The tips of his ears were purple while the inside was green as well. His eyes were green and thought he shied away from me I could tell he was curious.

I waved to him as I walked by and he let me pass without incident. The humans around us started walking again and due to the incoming masses, the wolf was forced to move close to my side. Deciding to take advantage of the opportunity "I'm Sukura what's your name?" "I-I'm Pengu" he said blushing. "It's nice to meet you Pengu. I hope that we have some classes together." I gave him a smile and could not stop my tails from wagging gently. "Man he is cute," I thought to myself blushing as I got into the Lunch line and getting my tray. The menu featured some type of vegetable mess so I just picked up a salad off the side bar and a few packets of dressing before looking around for a table. "Hey you could um well sit with me if you want to" Looking up I saw it was the wolf from before "Sure Pengu I would be delighted to sit with you."

I followed him to his table off to the side of the room and pulled out a chair noting that it seemed to be reinforced. I did not comment and sat down threading my tails through the convenient opening in the back of the chair. I opened the carton of salad up and started preparing it adding in the tomatoes and crushing the crackers over it. I threw on the sprinkles cheese and then opened three packets of dressing and drizzled them onto the salad before grabbing the Spork and stirring it up well. Then I speared some lettuce and started eating. The wolf across from me had chosen to eat a burger from another line. He also had some fries and a coke. "So Pengu what grade are you in? I'm in 6th grade." "I'm in the same grade as you."

"Cool so what are we supposed to do after we eat?" "Well I'm heading to gym so I guess that means you are too." I wrinkled my nose. "Gym? Well OK I guess. Do we have to dress out for it?" "Yeah you can but it's not required." "That's a relief. What game are they going to make us play?" "D-dod-dodge ball" hearing his stutter I looked up from my food. "Do they make you play against the others all by yourself?" "Y-yes they say I have to get more exercise than humans," I growled deep in my throat. "Well I'm here now; it's time they get a rude awakening." We finished our lunch and then Pengu lead the way to the gym.

Once inside the gym I showed Sukura to the Locker Room and he went inside. I followed behind him and saw that he had chosen a stall to change into his kit. I waited leaning against the wall waiting for him to emerge. When he stepped out he was wearing a tank top and he had a jacket tied around his waist. I raised my eyebrow but did not comment on his apparel.

Once on the court he carefully took the jacket off and set it aside. He did a few stretches while I stood against the wall wondering why he was even going to bother. "So since they have the number advantage I suggest we start using out own abilities.

For instance let's make this interesting and play the match in the dark." His words were projected across the court to the other team captain. "I agree on that with the condition that you two wear glow sticks so we can see you." "You're on, but it will just be me playing against all of you. We have to make it fair." Sukura was smirking and his tails were dancing in anticipation as the lights were dimmed. I put the orange glow sticks on his tails and then stood back on the bleachers.

(Sukura)

When the lights went, out I waited for my eyes to adjust and with the light coming from the hall outside the gym door; I was barely able to make out the other players. When the coach blew the whistle, I tensed and bent my knees jumping up as several dodge balls smacked into the wall that was behind where I was just standing. As I landed, I snatched one up, then dove to the side, and kept rolling to keep the other team confused. Seeing someone bending down to grab a ball I threw the one I was holding and hit his ankle. He walked off the court while I jumped up again barley missing the ball that was aimed at my muzzle.

Grunting I started to catch the projectiles in my tails and send the balls back. Due to my efforts, several members of the opposing team were forced to sit out. That left about 20 of the other team vs. me. I was tired and my dodges were becoming slower. In the end, I lost to the last member of the team but I was so exhausted they had to carry me off the court. At least they were good sports and congratulated me on my conduct and abilities. After taking a quick shower in the locker room, I rejoined Pengu and glancing at his schedule saw that we had a class called "Furry Anatomy for Canines." I admit I was curious about who the professor was going to be. I was excited as well at the thought of meeting another Furry.
