Chapter 06 (Beast Complex)

The Fox and the Chameleon is the sixth chapter of Beast Complex.

Synopsis
In an unnamed school a red fox girl and a chameleon boy are sorting papers as they are on paper duty. The papers must be sorted by species and she remarks how the paper duty is a form of bad luck.

Later the two of them are walking alongside a pond and she asks why he's always invisible when he's with her. He explains that he's establishing his self-consciousness, but then tells her that he thinks that her seeing him is embarrassing. As she places her hand on his cheek, he gets scared and becomes visible. She asks him if he likes school to which he answers positively. She on the other hand says that she doesn't enjoy school but doesn't explain why.

The next day she's bullied by a group of other foxes and causes a misunderstanding between the fox clique and the lioness clique. The next day while sorting papers she asks the chameleon why he didn't help her even though he likes her. He doesn't answer and she tells him that she'll just turn delinquent. She then throws the papers out the window and tells him that she feels better. She promises that she'll take responsibility for her actions and then tells him that she likes him.

Later as she's at the lockers about to leave the fox clique comes to bully her. They are angry with her as the lionesses had beat them up because of the misunderstanding. As one of the foxes is about to hit her the chameleon arrives to help her while invisible. He pushes her to the lockers and then hits one of the others to their back. They quickly leave and he remarks that it would've been better to save her while being visible, but she tells him that he's good enough for her. As she's about to hug him he tells him to stop and explains that he's right now completely naked as he can't camouflage his uniform. She then laughs and tries to touch him.
