Bad Luck

Chapter 1

"Muscle! Hustle!" The sound of Jyushimatsu heading outside made every bird, dog, and cat go crazy.

"Hi Jyushimatsu!" Everyone says to him when he walks down the street, with his face brighter than the sun. He always goes to his trusty batting spot to practice every day. And to be honest, he is actually quite good at it. Today, Ichimatsu was going to be throwing the ball for ball sent out a mighty crack when Jyushimatsu hit the ball. At noon, Ichimatsu suggested that they go get lunch.

"Yeah! That's a good idea!" Jyushimatsu agreed.

They went to Chibita's Oden shop.

"Put it on our tab, Chibita." Ichimatsu said.

"Come back here you lazy idjits!" Chibita exclaimed as Ichimatsu and Jyushimatsu ran off.

"We need to go get groceries for the house." Ichimatsu said.

"Okay!" Jyushimatsu exclaimed. He could be happy about anything! Even the dreaded grocery shopping. And still, throughout the whole time he would stay positive. When they were done getting the groceries, they went outside and found a lost cat. They fed the cat some of the groceries, and picked the cat up.

"Hey, he has black fur! How about we call him Charcoal?" Jyushimatsu suggested.

"Yeah. I like that name." Ichimatsu agreed.

"AAAAAAAH!" Jyushimatsu cried. The cat was on his face and was scratching away like it was a scratching post. Jyushimatsu started to back up and tried to pull the cat off of his face.

"ARRRGH! LET GO!" Jyushimatsu was on the streets now.

"Jyushi! Watch out for that-" Ichimatsu started to say. But before he could finish, he was interrupted by the sight of blood EVERYWHERE.
