It was the first week of school. The smell and the warmth of April's wondrous springtime filled the people of Namimori with ease at this pleasant experience of the first few months of spring. Adults were getting ready for their jobs while the children were preparing themselves for both, their first day of school and their possible reunion with Hibari-san's tonfa. Of course, if the students are late, that'll be unfortunate.
Whoosh! Whack! Slam!
The door slammed open, and a girl comes through the entrance. Her features suggest that she's a Japanese-European descendant with her Japanese's features being the most prominent. She's puny for her age, but the girl isn't microscopic. With her white sleeping gown on and her black hair cascading over her, completely hiding her face, the girl looks like someone straight out of a horror film. Her steps are heavy, sounding like elephants. She takes large steps, slowly, towards the dinner table.
She stops when she reaches the table.
Sitting in front of the dinner table was an old woman. She's dressed casual and comfortable with a sweater over a dress. The dress, always, is ankle-length with white socks peeking underneath. She's emanated an air of peace and tranquility. Also, the greatest part, she smells like freshly washed laundry and detergent!
She's sipping her tea with eyes closed.
Everything is completely silent with only the sounds of occasional sips.
It takes a few minutes.
Clamp.
The lady finished her last sip with the entire cup was tea-less of tea.
The girl raises her head towards the woman.
The atmosphere, no longer the ideal aroma of peace and tranquility. Hostility now filled the kitchen when behind those black curtains was that face!
Bags underneath while squinting to adjust to the light, the girl was smiling a frightful grin that showed all teeth with brown eyes now slits.
Clearly, the child wasn't having the best morning.
Being sleep-deprived while being in the middle of her period, the girl only wanted to go back to sleep. No one, not even Hibari-san could stop her. She wanted her bed with her cozy blanket and she was going to get it!
Beep, beep, beep! Let's sleep!
She rocked back and forth on her heels.
Beep, beep, beep! Let's sleep!
Eyes are completely hidden by her bangs.
Dear grandmother, don't you clearly bother to understand?
Her grin was wide with teeth showing.
I need sleep, so request you to concede!
She spread her arms and tilted her head back.
I need sleep, not-
Bam! Crash! Ow!
Bitch slapped in the face! The girl went flying! Round one goes to Grandmother!
Rubbing her right hand after that skin-to-skin impact, the lady raised herself from her seat. She sighs and stares at the defeated teenager, eyes softening at the pitiful sight before hardening with irritation and annoyance. She takes confident steps, standing right in front of the child.
"Child you're going to school and that's final. If you rhyme one more time, I won't be giving a dime once, you'll be seeing the tons of bruises. Those blacks and blues, evil child, lacks the Hibari tonfa's wild touch." Now, get to school!"
One Kick, Two kicks, and three kicks later.
Finally, the girl comes back to consciousness and starts rising-
An extra kick and a backhand slap over the head!
Oh, sadistic Granny! I think that was for your own personal enjoyment there!
Ow! Hey, Granny that's enough with the abuse-"
"How is that abuse? Child, this is the old-fashion discipline! Be grateful that you weren't me when I was your age! I remember those days with my-"
"Granny, I think I'm good with the stories there-"
Whack! Ow!
"Shoosh! Child, don't interrupt your elders! Now, I remember those days with my mother disciplining my sibling and me whenever we were disobedient. My brother, your grand-uncle, one time, was sent outside in the rain with only his underwear. He ran around the house for hours and it was snowing! Dear lord, he was freezing after that run! But, he became stronger because of it and so should you! Child, you're my granddaughter; meaning, that you can't be weak! Now, I know that you have to go to school right now, so I'll cut it short: child, if you don't face today, you'll never face tomorrow. Don't go all creepy on your granny! With all those black hair being pulled over your face and wearing that white dress: you look like an onryo! That's it! Dear, it's must've been a long time since I've visited Japan to forget that. Well it's-"
Click.
During her long speech about the importance of discipline and the remembrances of childhood, Granny had her eyes closed for the majority of her presentation. She didn't finally realize that her granddaughter was no longer present until she heard the front door closing. She opened her eyes, staring down at nothing but empty space. Old, wrinkled eyes looked around the kitchen and soon, she realized, Granny was all alone.
How dare that child!
"You insolent child! I'm old, but I'll show you why Hibari-san shouldn't be the one that you'll fear! Yui!"
"Ah, I'm finally free from that demented granny!"
The sky was bright and clear with the sun shone with radiance. The girl, known as Yui, was fully clothed in her Namimori Middle School uniform with her guitar case tightly secured over to her back.
Huff, huff, huff.
Hopefully, I'll make it in time before the bell rings. Man, making a bad impression on my first day in school at Namimori? Seriously? Like no thanks! From what I've heard, Hibari-san is barely as terrifying as my granny! God, I rather not face that! Quickening her steps, Yui kept sprinting towards the direction of the middle school. Taking a sharp turn, Her pigtails and ribbons brushed against her redden cheeks. With the combination of not getting enough sleep, only eating a toasted bread, and literally dashing to the school- Yui didn't think she'll last through her first day.
There it is!
The school, in its full glory, was only a few feet away. The building was enormous. In America, because she had lived in a relatively small town, their schools weren't that large. I think the school could only hold like 700 students if I remember correctly, Yui thought as she was closing in on the building.
Almost there!
Ten
Five
Four
Three
Two
One-
Slam!
The first things that rushed through Yui:
Seriously?
I'm the unluckiest person in the entire universe!
Man, I skipped four hours of more sleep for nothing!
Sad face.
Well, time for the black out now.
I'm so going to bring hell when I find the person I collided with!
Out
-Kaname, Yui
So, from what I've gathered from this observation: She's pissed. Dear, hopefully, she doesn't completely destroy the poor fellow.
Thank you and hope you enjoy!
Please, no flames!
Critiques are loved!
