Another day passed and Ruby and Jamal sat in his room. Ruby had come upstairs to help him with his computer which was just refusing to work. She stayed with him now as he finished typing the paper he needed to write. She was playing with his stereo, putting in random CDs. He owned mostly hip hop but the exception was his lincoln park, the Fray and My chemical romance.

Ruby enjoyed the hip hop's loud base and moving beats. Jamal would look over at her every now and again just to smile at how cute she looked with her ears twitching, her tail up in the air, waving back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.....

He would swallow hard and turn back trying hard to concentrate on his paper.

Ruby looked over at Jamal with her head tilted over to the side. She wondered what he was looking at, she figured it was her but she wondered why. 'faint' was playing on the CD player and she was slightly dancing to the music. "Jamal what is it?" She asked, tail wagging back and forth.

Jamal looked up for a moment, concentration broken. "Nothing!" He said quickly, shaking his head.

Ruby walked over to him, tail wagging back and forth. She put her hands on her hips, glaring at him. "It wasn't nothing I saw ou staring!" She stated, tail wagging back and forth.

"It's personal!"

"No It's not! I wanna know!" Ruby exclaimed, crossing her arms in a pout.

If Jamal's chocolate colores skin would have allowed him to blush he would have. But the fact that he could hardly speak was evidence enough of his over active nerves.

"uh.." he began."

Ruby grinned and sat on his lap, tail still wagging, only slightly aware of the strong effect she was having on him.

"You can tell me Jamal. You know we're like best friends." She smiled.

He sighed, half from the closeness of the girl half from sheer loss of words.

"I was just thinkiing, that's all..."

"About what?"

Jamal didn't answer. He just kissed Ruby passionately, a bit more than she was used to. As he did so he pressed her against him so that she "felt" his answer.

"Oh!" she cried slightly and shocked him by accident.

"Ah!" he gasped as well pulling back and rubbing his jaw which was almost numb.

"Sorry!" she apoplogized but went to sit on the bed any ways.

"It's okay." Jamal responded, still Rubbigng his jaw. He got up from his seat and sat next to Ruby. She looked at her, staring at him curiously.

"Why did you kiss me like that?" She asked curiously as she wagged her tail back and forth. She licked her lips, trying to keep them from drying. She sort of understood why but wasnt quite sure. "You are never that abrupt with me. are you feeling alright?"

Jamal merely shook his head, looking at her the same way he did before. "Ruby I want us to take our realationship to a whole new level." He said, hand going over to the fox girls thigh squeezing it slightly.

The pup yelped, scooting over some, she hadnt expected that. Not in the least. "Jamal..." the fox girl trailed off not knowing what to say.

Jamal smiled warmly, a bit more reassuringly.

"I love you, Ruby."

"I know, Jamal, I love you too."

"I know you do and I think we should do this because we love eachother," his hand moved a little higher on her thigh.

"Do what?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Of course." she nodded, slowly.

" And you love me." he continued.

"Yes, I already told you that I love you."

"Then make love to me, Ruby." he leaned forward to kiss her.

Ruby placed one finger on his lips, looking at him with apologetic eyes. "We can't. We are too young." She said with a bark.

Jamal looked at her with hurt on his face. "Why are listening to what Dar and Emerald said? They arent the bosses of us!" Jamal said with a slight scowl.

Ruby shook her head. "Jamal they are family and dar is the closet family you have, you should listen to her." Ruby responded.

"Kids from my hometown are doing this alot sooner." Jamal stated.

"Jamal you are fourteen and I am thirteen! We hardly have developed yet." Ruby explained.

((tag))

Jamal grinned. "You looked developed enough to me."

Ruby whimpered.

"I'm not a virgin, Ruby, I never said I was and..."

"So you were just expecting this?"

"I have needs, and you said you loved me."

"I do!" Ruby's head hurt. She did love Jamal, she loved him dearly, but she knew that didn't mean she had to have sex with him...didn't it?


"Alright then." Jamal grabbed her and pressed his lips hotly against hers. Shivers ran up her body, it felt good for him to be so close but the feelings scared her and she knew she wasn't ready for them yet.

"jamal.." she pulled away.

"C'mon you were just getting into it..."

"No, Jamal..." she said. "Don't make me hurt you...."

"Hurt me?" Jamal questioned, looking at Ruby with surprise. "You would never intentionally...OW!"

Ruby looked at Jamal as her rubbed his wrists from the electrical shock. She got into a slight fighting stance. Electricity cracking from the young girls body. "Jamal I don't wanna hurt you. You have to respect my wishes." Ruby stated growling softly.

Jamal looked at Ruby the same longing way he looked at her before. "Ruby I need you! Listen I really need you! I love you." He said.

Ruby shook her head meekly at him. "No you need to respect me if you love me." Ruby told him. Static shooting at his wrists again.

"Ruby I have handled your Electricity before, what makes you think I can't handle it now?" Jamal replied.

"I don't, you only have had a taste of how much Electricity my body puts out, you haven't seen the half of it."

((I"lll do half of the climax of the scene, you can do him storming out)


Jamal narrowed his eyes. "It doesn't have to be this way, Ruby."

"I know, it's up to you, Jamal."

Suddenly Jamal's powers activated the blanket which wrapped tightly around Ruby's body, she fell to the floor. When he approached her though she shocked him sending him into his desk chair which toppled to the floor. She immediately regretted it but as she unwrapped herself from the blanket she didn't advance.

Jamal stood up. "Ruby.."

"Jamal?"

they were silent.

"Ruby, you have to understand how hard this is for me. It's been a two months and I've been good about it."

"What?"

"I'm human..."

"You're a kid, Jamal, damn it!" Ruby shouted. She didn't normally curse, it was...shocking.

"Stop calling me that,I'm not no damn kid, not when it comes to this." he sighed. "Ruby...i can get it somewhere else, you know."


"Is that a threat?"

"I'm just letting you know..."

"I thought you where supposed to be my knight in shinining armor Jamal. Not some sex crazed begger on the streets." Ruby spat out coldly as Jamal glared at her. The boy got up and began to walk out of the room.

'Ruby I love you more than anything else in the world, I would think you would want to give part of yourself up for me." Jamal stated as he walked out the door. "I thought you were a princess, not some scared, mangy fox."

Ruby glared at him as he walked out, shoking him once again. "

Jamal smirked, rubbing his wrists and disappeared.

He didn't mean to hurt her feelings but he thought Ruby was the prettiest girl he'd ever been with and he really wanted her.

But it was obvious that wasn't happening. What was worse is she'd tell her sister who would tell Daria who would then "talk" to him.

Little did he know he prolly needed a good talking to.


Meanwhile Ruby was crying, and crying hard. Now she really only had her sister left in the world. She threw herself upon the bed.
