"Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
Or was it all in my head"
Ordinary Day by Venessa Carlton
I could clearly see his eyes in the distance through the fog, the way they glimmered brown but had small flecks of dark blue through out them made them unquestionably his eyes. The same eyes I had known as a small child outside of my dream world that belonged to the beautiful ebony haired wolf that would always protect me when we lived at our old house right in front of an old, aged forest. I could not tell you where it was he had come from, nor could I tell you why he would always protect me when my Onee-chan couldn't. Whether it be when I would venture out into the forest, its trees plenty of times bigger then me encasing me in it's dark secrets, when I would be in my yard and the other children would always pick on me calling me names and making me cry because my hair was blond and placed in an odd style both of which wasn't normal to them, or when my parents would fight about anything and everything at night, he would protect me. He'd protect me by not letting me get lost or hurt by the dark secrets of the forest, not letting the cruel children continue to pick on me without fear of my protector, and not letting me lay alone at night as my parents argued unaware of me being awake able to hear their shouts directed at each other.
As I looked into his big beautiful eyes I couldn't quite understand the emotion that was brewing behind them, though I could have sworn he was looking directly at me, as if I was the only thing in his view. I didn't fear him; I don't think I ever could fear such a beautiful creature. Especially not the one that I had once referred to as my protector on a daily basis, but something was different. It could have been the fact he was bigger, the fact that he looked some how different; more matured maybe; but it was neither of those at the moment. It was the fact that I had been trying over and over again to run to him, calling out to him as I normally did, but every time I got close enough to reach my arms out to wrap them around his furry neck and hug him like when I was a child, he would some how get further away, as if seeing me running to him and calling out to him wasn't enough to get him to stay within range of my grasp.
I shot up in bed, taking in as much air as my greedy lungs would take in, sweat dripping down my face in a fine sheen. Once I had finally caught my breath I looked over at the small bunny clock that sat somewhat crookedly on the bedside table to see its small hands read 3:30 in the morning. "Crap" was the only word I could manage to mutter under my breath as I read the time. This dream had been going on for a few weeks, maybe months now, and I always seem to wakeup right before I could remember the name I had once called the beautiful wolf to make him come to me. Though it always seemed like the dream lasted all night, I would wake up to see it was only hours before I had to get up for school. Taking a deep and shaky breath I closed my eyes lightly, trying to once again picture the beautiful wolf from my dreams. It was always something I did when I woke up from these dreams; it seemed to calm me down just a little, seeing his beautiful ebony fur that seemed to look almost blue in a certain light, seeing his strong legs which seemed to have gotten longer since I had seen him those seven years ago as a kid. They seemed almost longer than a normal wolf's but that was impossible. Taking one last look into his eyes, the eyes that always seemed at peace no matter what, I opened my own eyes staring at the contents of the wall facing the opposite side of my bed. It all seemed so bland after seeing him.
Shaking my head I shifted carefully off the bed letting my feet drop soundlessly to the floor. I was covered in sweat already so I figured I might as well make it worth my while. Getting up I walked over to my closet quietly opening the doors to reveal a relatively clean mess. Alright so it was a clean mess to me, a disaster to others but that wasn't my fault they needed to be in my head to understand. Reaching my hand into the far corners of the closet, I felt around until I found the material I wanted. Pulling it off the hanger, I slipped out of my moon and bunny pajamas, and put on the dark pink colored sweatpants and white sports bra. It wasn't something I normally wore outside in public but considering it was just a little after 3:30 am I doubt anyone would be awake or outside to complain about how bad or inappropriate I looked. Taking a deep breath I held it for a second, listening to see if anyone in my family was awake. After a few seconds of silence I let the air out of my lungs and grabbed the pink and white sneaks out from under my bed and threw them onto my feet, stopping only a few seconds at a time to get them on. When I made it to my window I bent down and tied them, knowing that if I didn't I'd fall face first from my second story window. With a deep sigh I opened my window before proceeding to climbed out of it and into the tree that was next to my room. Once I had my feet settled on the branch I turned around and closed the window leaving a small gap just big enough for me to open when I got back.
Carefully I climbed down the tree hoping beyond hope that I wouldn't miss a branch and fall out of the tree. Not only would it be extremely painful, but the noise for sure would wake my parents up and that alone made me shiver in thoughts of what would come. When I made it to the last branch I sighed in relief and carefully sat down on it allowing my feet to dangle for only a second before I jumped down to the grass below me. "That was easy." I muttered to myself as I landed in a crouched position. Then again it always seemed easier after I got out of the tree. I waited a few seconds to make sure none of the lights in my house turned on telling me someone was awake and I would most likely get caught. When no lights came on I sighed in relief as I took the ribbons that held my long blond hair in place at night and carefully placed them in a hole in the tree before I stood up. When I was sure the balls on top of my head I had started calling Odangos were secured, I took off in a run towards the park in the center of Tokyo. As I reached the entrance of the park I sighed in relief. It was one of the few places that no matter what time of day, I felt safe for some odd reason, even with the news reports about people going missing in the park recently. It didn't faze me, especially not now, not when I needed to go for a jog around the lake to relax me.
Without a second thought I pushed myself off the balls of my feet and began to jog towards the lake, one of the few places I could collect my strayed thoughts. Within minutes I was jogging around the lake, the moon was shinning ominously off of the steam that was rising from the lake itself; to me there was absolutely nothing that could beat such a beautiful picture as that. I've always been fond of the moon, as if the moon itself was calling out to me whenever it was shinning in the night's sky. Stopping in my tracks after what seemed like quite a long amount of time, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and closed my eyes trying to relax, allowing the smell of the lake to drift around me. As I breathed in with a shaky breath, my muscles started to loosen up some. I could feel someone's eyes watching my every move but it didn't concern me, for all I knew it could have been my over active imagination. It wasn't until I heard something that sounded like someone stepping on a pile of leaves or branches did my eyes open quickly, looking around to see if I was still alone and reconsidering whether or not it was imagination before. Shaking my head to relieve myself of such thoughts I once again started jogging, making one more round around the lake before I started to run home. As much as I loved the lake at night to calm me down from my dreams, I didn't want to be some victim of some creep because I was at the wrong place at the wrong time; just the thought sent shivers down my spine.
As I made it home I could see the sun creeping over the east horizon. With a sigh I noted it had to be sometime past 6 in the morning and my mother would soon be calling me to wake me up, and I would play along with the role I had so easily placed myself into a few years ago. It was odd, how easily everyone believed I was a clumsy, stupid crybaby and I admit I am at times all of the above, who isn't from time to time, but for me it was different. When I was about ten I started to understand everything the teachers were telling me and actually found it extremely easy, as if I had learned it all before, my problems with the Earth's gravity began to go away, allowing me to walk with a little more grace then before and not trip over thin air, or anything else in my path all the time; alright that one I do have to admit is a lie in some respects. I wasn't as clumsy as I led others to believe though I was clumsy; there wasn't a doubt about it. Walking back over to the tree next to my window, I reached my hand inside the hole in the tree and retrieved the ribbons I had placed in there earlier that night. After carefully securing them back in my hair, I jumped up, grabbing the last tree branch on the tree before pulling myself up carefully and soundlessly as if I had done it all my life. That right there is what I meant by getting graceful; a few years ago I would have barely grabbed the branch and would have fallen right back down as soon as I got it. Looking around I quickly climbed up the tree and stopped at my window opening it silently and climbing back in. "Thank Kami–sama no one heard me," I said under my breath then proceeding to close my window slightly allowing the fresh air to come into the room before I worked my way over to my closet.
Grabbing the towel I had left out the night before from my shower, I wiped whatever sweat I could off and placed the towel back making sure I left no evidence that I was up at all during the night. I still hadn't shaken off the feeling of someone watching me, and it didn't scare me like it should have, but it still worried me. I almost felt a sense of security, but even still the thought of someone watching me was not something I liked. Shivering involuntarily at the thought of anyone watching me, I quickly and quietly changed back into my moon and bunny pajamas. It was all I needed on top of the pretending to be someone else, my dreams, and the feeling of someone watching me would be my parents finding me undressed and trying to get into my pajamas. I would be permanently grounded until I either died or my parents died 'Which ever came first' I though off handedly. Walking over to my bed I shoved my running shoes under it before slipping under the covers snuggling into the warmth yet coldness they bought me. When I heard the first signs of life in my house, I turned my face away from the door so they wouldn't find me awake and I could easily pretend to "not wake up and be late". With a deep breath I steadied my breathing making it look like I was sleeping. It was my usual routine: roll over, someone walks in to wake me up and they only see what they think to be a sleeping back, said person then tries to wake me up and me moaning about another five more minutes. 'Yup the usual routine' I thought to myself sadly.
It wasn't long until I heard my door open and the shuffle of someone's feet against my carpet to see if my alarm clock was set. I usually didn't set it to go off because it would only show that I was responsible and I couldn't have that cause I'd have to explain how I went from irresponsible to responsible over night, which was why I wasn't surprised at the sigh I heard from behind me. "Usagi-chan, it's time for school. Get up." I heard my mother said in a loud voice, normally you'd think that would be enough to wake someone up but of course with my little show I had to fake it. "Just give me five minutes Okaa-san and I promise I'll get up." I said in a slur as if I was truly asleep and she had woken me.
"Alright Usagi-chan five more minutes, that's it." She said with a sigh as she walked out of the room closing my door behind her. We both knew I wouldn't actually get out of bed and dressed until she yelled up the stairs that I was going to be late for school but it gave me time to think about things, small things but things none the less. Turning over onto my back I stared up at my ceiling; the glow-in-the-dark stars that I had placed up when we first moved here seemed to be scarcer since the sticky tape that used to hold them up was beginning to fall off the ceiling. I had always loved falling asleep to them and being able to tell the kids at school that I fell asleep under the stars each and every night was unbelievably rewarding as a little girl.
Somehow I must have spaced out; or gone into a ravine if that's what you wanted to call it; because the next thing I heard was my mother screaming at me that I was going to be late for school 'again', she couldn't help but add. Shrieking in not only surprise at her voice yelling me out of me ravine but also just because it was what any normal person would do if they were late for school, I jumped out of my bed and ran towards my closet grabbing my school uniform out. As I thumped around trying to get my navy blue skirt on and my moon and bunny pajama bottoms off I could hear the ticking of my bunny clock. Taking a second to glare at it as if it was the most dreadful thing in the world I once again continued to get dressed finally getting my skirt on I pulled my stockings; or leotards which ever they were called; on. I grabbed my bra as I took my moon and bunny pajama top off, placing the bra on in recorded timing for me especially without me somehow snapping it against my skin. All there was left was to pull my top on and take care of my hair. Thankfully those were the easiest out of everything. Sailing out of the house in my skirt and sailor like top I grabbed my lunch and made my usual run to school.
I was almost there when I slipped on something causing me to fly to the ground. My bag flew out of my hand and skid a few feet away from me and I could feel the burn on my knees from falling on them. Though neither of those concerned me, the neko that I had just stepped on did. It didn't look like a stray the way it was so well groomed and the two band aids in a cross on her forehead but the fact that it didn't have the collar made me think it was a stray. "Are you okay neko?" I asked getting up and slowly walking over to the black neko that was now nursing it's most likely bruised tail, hoping that it wouldn't be scared away by my closeness. When I was standing right above her I scoped her up in my arms, carefully not to bang her tail around. I could hear the school bells ringing behind me as my small fingers went over the neko's tail making sure nothing was wrong with it. It wasn't until I once again looked at her face did I realize that her paws were trying to get the band aids off her head. "Okay, I see you want the band aids off. Alright hold still." I said in a sweet nurturing voice. 'Where had I gotten that from?' I questioned myself but didn't really have an answer since I was told every female had one, it just didn't show till it was needed. Carefully taking the band-aids off, I looked down at her. There on her forehead was a crescent bald spot. Almost as soon as I saw it and heard the bell for school signaling class had started, she bounced out of my hands to the wall behind me using my head as a stepping stone. "That was some weird kitty." I muttered to myself as I looked at the direction she had run off in and then without a second thought I ran towards Juuban Middle School hoping I wouldn't get caught being late, again.
As I made it to my classroom door I quietly ducked down trying to get to my seat before my homeroom teacher Haruna-sensei saw me sneak in. "You're late again Tsukino Usagi-san," I heard just as I reached my desk causing me to wince slightly at the sternness and loudness in her voice. I straightened up and turned around to face my apparently very angry teacher. "Sorry Haruna-sensei, I didn't wake up on time and then on the run here I ran over this poor neko," I said as I began to mutter my poor explanation of an excuse quickly as I looked down at my feet in dismay at the fact I was caught sneaking in. "I really am sorry," I said in a loud obnoxious whine as I looked back up at her.
"I don't care what your excuse is Tsukino-san, you're late and without a note from a parent," my sensei said shaking her head in disapproval. "Not to mention we got the test scores back from yesterday and you got a thirty, a thirty!" I could not only see but hear her grinding the last part through her teeth. Ah yes, the point in my life where I fool people into believing I was stupid. Really, I could have aced the test I'm sure. It's not like what she taught was hard, by far it was easy and I didn't really need to pay attention to understand it but there would be too many questions that I had to answer and things I had to explain that I didn't understand myself plus I didn't want to be anymore of a cause for my parents to fight then I already was. I felt my mouth open to form a small 'O' and I could see my teachers anger building within. "That's it Tsukino-san out in the hallway until your next class." She said using the hand that I just realized was holding what I could only imagine to be my test paper to point at the door I had come in from only a few minutes before. Looking at her hand I couldn't help but wonder when she had pulled that out, but I didn't think to ask out loud as I walked towards the door in an almost sulking manner.
I could hear Haruna-sensei started home room where she had left off and I sighed in frustration as I looked down at my feet. "Why do I always get stuck out here during homeroom, couldn't I just stay after school as a punishment instead." I muttered to myself the smell of my neatly packed lunch starting to make me hungry. I knew it wasn't smart to not grab something on the way out of the house, but I was later then normal and didn't want anymore trouble then I was in now. "It wouldn't harm any if I had some now." I said nonchalantly and opened my lunch bag taking out the first thing on top. 'Mm an apple' I thought to myself as I took a bite savoring the food. Thank Kami-sama, Haruna-sensei was to busy rambling on and on about something or another to notice I was eating some of my lunch.
It hadn't taken long for the first half of my classes to end and the bell that told everyone it was time for lunch rang. A grin broke out over my face as I skipped out the door of my class room to an opening outside that me and my friends sat and ate lunch at. It was our normal routine and I wouldn't change it for the world. "Konnichiwa minna" I said as I sat down Indian style on the grass making sure my skirt went over my legs right. "How was your day so far?" I asked Naru-chan as I pulled my lunch out of its bag. She was my best friend since I could remember. I always thought she was prettier then me, the way her brown hair fit in with everyone and shaped to her face so sweetly. No matter what though I could never hate her, be jealous, but never hate her.
"It was good, though I can't believe you were late again," She said shaking her head back and forth causing her hair to follow with. "I thought Haruna-sensei was going to die when you snuck in and then got a thirty on your test." This she said while laughing at the thought of the vein clearly getting ready to bulge out of an anime version of our teacher. I knew what she was thinking and I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought as well. We had thought up the first day of school, It was our little inside joke, it was even something we had drew up and hung on our walls.
"I know what you mean; I really hope one day she proves us right and that vein really does show itself one day. Even if it shows it's big, red, angry self at me, we would be right and that's all that matters," I said laughing as I shoved some of my rice balls in my mouth. Rice balls had to be one of my favorite things to eat, no matter the mood I was in.
"So Usagi-chan did you hear the latest news on Sailor-V" I heard a voice from behind me say causing me to spit out what I had in my mouth and jump about a foot high. I can never understand why on Earth people always seem to sneak up on one another at the least covenant moment of time.
"Kami-sama Umino-kun, are you trying to kill me or do you just want me to end up with a heart attack?" I asked taking deep breaths and looked sadly at the now discarded rice along the grass. "And no I haven't heard about Sailor-V, what has she been up to?" I asked turning to face Umino-kun. He was a friend of mine and Naru-chan's, though we didn't talk to him much we still considered him a friend. He just happened to be the gossiper of the school, though no one would think otherwise since he had a pair of coke bottled glasses and spiky brown hair that looked almost as if he poured hair gel in it every morning.
"Well she stopped these robbers from robbing a jewelry store, if it wasn't for her they would have gotten away with over a hundred diamonds." He said pushing his glasses up closer to his eyes with one of his scrawny fingers. "I think she is someone to look up to, but she looks about our age and there is absolutely no information on her real identity; she just came out of nowhere." Umino-kun mumbled as he walked away from us since he had done his job towards us by telling us what small amount of gossip he himself had.
"Wow, I would love to be her, being able to save people or stop robbers." I heard myself saying with a depressed sigh.
"Oh, that reminds me my Okaa-san is having a sale on jewelry, it's actually extremely affordable, even for us," Naru-chan said her eyebrows knitting together in concentration. I guess it wasn't normal for her Okaa-san; who owned the local jewelry shop 'Osa-P'; to have such a sale on jewelry. They actually lived above the shop. 'Kami-sama what any girl wouldn't do to live above a jewelry store,' I thought simply to myself.
"Oh, we should stop by after school," I said nodding my head and looking at Naru-chan. "Can we please?" I asked forming a perfect puppy dog pout on my face. Somehow it seemed no one could refuse that face, not even my mother when she was truly mad at me. Though I didn't use it very often I still liked to keep practice with things such as this. "I know we can't afford anything but," I said lingering on the word 'but', "we are girls and we do have our love for jewelry." I said with a giggle as looked back at the girls next to me, both of which were nodding their head in agreement with me. "See" I said simply with a smug smile.
"Alright Usagi-chan you win." Naru-chan said giggling as she started to finish the rest of her lunch, 'Wait when exactly did she start to eat it?' I asked myself as I looked at her, a foolish happy grin on my face at the though of going to a jewelry store, especially one that was having a great sale. I watched her eat trying to remember exactly when she had started to eat in the first place. Shrugging my shoulders I gave in; she most likely started to eat it while I was eating, and when Umino-kun had decided to scare me into death. "That boy would be the death of me," I mumbled to myself too low for anyone sitting around me to hear. Sighing with a content smile I started to eat my lunch still just a bit sad at the fact my rice ball was half in my stomach and half covering the grass.
It didn't seem to take long for the bell that signaled the end of lunch to ring; I swear they timed it so we had to go in earlier then we're actually suppose to be: it was a ploy to get us in that boring confines of a prison they called a school to see us suffer. "See you guys after school," I said getting up, throwing my trash into its proper waste can. I then started to walk to my classes with a full stomach and a notebook blank for future doodling. Remembering those facts I walked into class with a grin across me face.
After what seemed to be a million classes the last bell finally rang causing everyone to grab their stuff and run out of the classroom doors, either going to their after school classes, lockers, or trying to escape before the school really did turn it into a prison. I of course was one of the many that was making a run out of the place, though not because I was afraid it would turn into a prison; after all I already believed it was a prison that babysat us during the day and sent us home at night; but I was running to meet up with Naru-chan and the rest of the girls so we could head to her Okaa-san's jewelry store. 'That place evil too evil to be called a school.' I thought to myself looking the building up and down suspiciously once I was finally on the outside of school property. I didn't have to wait long as before I saw Naru-chan come up from my one side, I think she was aiming to scare me or surprise me but it didn't work to well. "Hey Naru-chan," I could see as I spoke her face start to fall from the fact she couldn't scare me.
"You always ruin my fun Usagi-chan." Naru-chan said pouting as she finished walking up to me. "Are you girls ready to go?" She asked waving her small delicate hand in the air to get someone's attention, though I truly doubt she needed to do that, after all she basically screamed the question. It was then I noticed the two other girls we were going with leaning again the school's brick wall a few feet down. Turning around to face them as I rubbed my poor battered and screamed in ear, I looked at them with a raised eyebrow wondering how I could have missed them. "After all we don't want to get there and there be nothing left. My Okaa-san has been running the sale for the past two days." Naru-chan said as she grabbed my hand and started to turn us in the direction of the store, our friends following right behind us as we walked.
"Naru-chan, why is your Okaa-san having this big jewelry sale anyway?" I asked turning my head to look at her through my arms, which were lazily placed over my head, my school bag clutched in my hands. "I mean I thought she was doing well without a sale, after all who can refuse jewelry," I said shrugging my shoulders lightly but still waiting for her reply as I watched her eyebrows knit together in concentration for the second time today.
"Well that's the thing Usagi-chan; I have not the slightest of ideas as to why she would," she replied as she looked over at me her eyebrows still knitted together. "I mean, you're right, everything has been going well for us, at least as far as I know and Okaa-san was never one to keep things from me. Not too mention she has some pretty good prices on things to begin with and to take them down to next to nothing is not like her," She said shaking her head sadly as she looked down at her feet, "I mean Okaa-san is a great business women and she knows better than that." With a sigh she looked ahead of us to see a hoard of women either drooling at the now affordable jewelry or pushing each other around so they were able to get in the store that seemed to be jammed packed full with women of all shape and sizes. I could almost imagine Naru-chan's jaw dropping as she looked at all the people that were crowded around the store. "Wow" was the only thing we could utter as we stopped to look.
"Well at least your Okaa-san is getting business." I said trying to ease the tension that was way too thick for my liking; I think it was even too thick for anyone to like. "Why don't we go see if we can get through them?" I asked grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the store not even waiting for her answer. We made our way into the crowd losing our friends somewhere in the chaos but my main concern wasn't them, it was Naru-chan and making sure no one got in her way of seeing her Okaa-san, or killed her while she made her way through the sea of people.
"I think my mother has officially lost it Usagi-chan." I heard her say as we stopped only a few feet away from her Okaa-san who was using a speaker phone to shout out left and right about all the deals. I think she might have mentioned something about one piece of jewelry not being for sale but I didn't quite catch what she had said fully, my eyes landing on all the different jewelry. Even if I took all the allowance money that I had I couldn't afford it, and I doubt with the thirty from my test that my Okaa-san would allow me money to shop here, as a punishment. Looking back at her Okaa-san, I could see where Naru-chan would get the idea her mother has lost it. As beautiful as her Okaa-san was, she was standing on a glass counter in the middle of the room with heels on and was blaring continuously into the speaker phone about deals.
"I'm sure in a few days she's going be okay Naru-chan. Please don't worry." I said turning to face her, a frown on both of our faces. "Just be safe, okay?" I said pulling her to me and hugging her. "I have to go and hopefully get into my room without my mom questioning me about the test," I was trying to cheer her up but I don't think it helped any, though she did smile.
"Alight Usagi-chan, good luck. I'll see you at school tomorrow," she said with a smile as she turned me into the general direction of the front door.
It hadn't taken me very long to duck and swerve around people, and as soon as I saw the sky and sun above me instead of people's flailing limbs I sighed in relief. As I started to walk towards home, I took my test paper out in frustration. "Okaa-san is seriously going to kill me this time," I said as I crumbled the evil test paper up, making sure the thirty wouldn't glare or laugh at me anymore. I knew I could do better, I hated I had to pretend to please people. With that in mind I threw the test paper behind me hoping that maybe luck would be in my favor and it would go right into a trash bin.
It wasn't the sound of it hitting the trash that caused me to stop and flinch it was the sound of a man, a man saying 'ouch' that stopped me. 'Whoops, guess luck wasn't in my favor,' I though sadly as I took a deep breath. With one turn of my feet I turned towards the man that was now holding my test, his hand rubbing the spot it must have hit and a pair of sunglasses covering his eyes. As I was about to apologize, I saw his head look towards me and if I would have known better I would have taken my test, apologized for my rudeness and ran off towards home but did I? Nope not me, why would I. "Gomenasai," I said bowing slightly towards him in respect of my apology. As I looked up at him I could tell I would regret staying, I would regret apologizing but I just couldn't stop looking at him. He was a creature of beauty, and he was stunning. I think he might have put models to shame, but then again I thought that about anyone who was prettier then me, but this guy, he was beyond pretty.
"A thirty, are you naturally stupid or do those buns cause you to act stupid?" The man asked his voice soft and I would have said nice if it wasn't for his comment. That comment truly stuck a cord in me, especially after my dreams of my protector the night before and the fact that all day I kept reminding myself I did all of this pretending for a reason.
"First of all they are Odangos, and second of all no, I am not naturally stupid, nor do they make me stupid," I growled out with a frown as I yanked my test from his hands stalking off towards home as I shoved the test in my bag. No one had called them buns in so long, not too long after we moved I stopped calling them 'buns' because my father had kicked my sister out a few years after we moved and that was one of her nicknames for me, that or Koneko. I didn't mind either until my father kicked her out, but when ever someone called me those names it struck a nerve because she was my only friend and my father just had to kick her out, I knew his reasons and that made it even worse.
