Every Avenue x Where Were You?
The day started out like this...
"Shika! Get up!" a groan sounded from beneath a mountain of pillows and blankets. "Shika, I mean it! You're going to be lateto school!" A mum of the worst kind entered the darkened room with a large bucket of ice water.
"HOLY MOTHER OF F-argh!" the loud shout wasmuted by that of a dirty sock. "What have I said about swearing, now hurry up! Otherwise there is plenty more water where that came from" her mother, Suzu stated, turning on her hills and walking from the room.
"Yeah, I imagine that tap does have a lot of water on standby" Shika groaned and shivered. Not to mention that it was the beginning of winter..and getting pretty damn cold.
A new school. A new life. A new place. Life sucks.
"Hurry up" Suzu shouted from down stairs, demon woman. Shika sighed and pulled back the blankets allowing the warmth to leave with much regret. School. Why? Why so early in the morning anyway? Shika thought pulling on a hideous skirt, the uniform to be exact.
"I'm leaving and if you're not ready...I will come back and not leave until you are...?" great logic there, mum, really. The prospect of having a whole day with her mother made Shika move a little faster. Pulling on the shirt and slipping on the shoes, Shika grabbed the school bag of her new school...something high school...and raced down the stairs.
Shika glanced wistfully at the kitchen as her stomach grumbled. . again why was school so early in the morning! Shika glanced at her watch...8:15am...
This was going to be a long day. Shika threw her bag in the back of the car and sat in the passenger seat. Her mother singing blissfully ignorant of hersilentdread. A very long day then.
There it was in the distance, hells gate, just looming into view. Shika furrowedher eyebrows, there was so many people. Too many for her liking. Shy and socially awkward plus people...alot of people equates to inevitable disaster. nodded to herself.
"Are we thinking again, are we? Well, don'tdo too much of that!You might die from over exertion" Suzu smiled at her daughter,which made her feel marginally better. Even if it was a little insulting. Shika looked at her mother, taking her in. The beautiful long dark hair and the dark chocolate eyes, her youthful face. Shika didn't look anything like her, at all. Light hazel eyes and dirty blonde hair, white as, just like her father. Although her fatherwas pretty good looking, just just average. Shika let out another sigh, way to go idiot! make the day more depressing.
"See you if I ever make it home"
"Cheer up,it's not the end of the world" and with that her mother left her choking in the fumes of the exhaust. True story.
Transferringwas not a good idea. No. Should have done home school. Shika looked around. The people she had saw were no where to be found. Did she imagine it? She did have a habit ofblowing things out of proportion.
No one. Walking up to the front door of the office it stated clearly inbold black letter.
"STUDENT FREE DAY"
School was intoday. It was her worst nightmare come true. Turningup at school and therebeing no one there, noone.
Shika felt the anxiety coming on. She had no idea had to get home. She could barely make to the bathroom in her own home without getting lost. Sheheart began to beat rapidly. She was all alone. What was she going to do.
It was getting harder to breath as panic erupted through her.
Something touched her shoulder, she jerked away suprised.
"Are you alright?" a handsome young man asked her. His odd violet like hair catching the breeze. He was intriguing.
"I'm Yuki Sohma" he smiled. The anxiety ebbed away as he calmed her. It was a strange feeling.
"Shika Kabuki" she wheezed. She drew in a long breath of air and wiped her forhead of sweat.
"Are you okay?" he asked again. "You look a little sick?" a less than glorious way to meet people, Shika thought.
"Yes, I'm fine."her voice shook a little bit. "I'm new. I transferred to this school, but it seems that no one else is here" she glanced back at the poster.
"Yes. I'm student body president here, I can show you around if you'd like?" he said sincerely.
"Oh..." a mouse scurried past her feet, Shika had a strange fear of mice and rats. Mainly because her grandmother had told her a story of a baby having a dirty face and a rat eating the babies face...but...nevermind! Shika jumped and tried to move as far away from the immediate area as fast as possible.
"Miss Kabuki-" Shika tripped over her feet and fell it Yuki -POOF- a large cloud of smoke appeared and a bundle of clothes replaced where Yuki had been standing...
"OH MY GOD" immediately Shika jumped up and danced around. The fear of rodents pumping adrenalin(sp?) through her veins. Not only had she turned Yuki, a person she had just met, into an animal, but she had turned him into a rat-mouse thing.
"Please calm down, Miss Kabuki" the small rodent said-it talks, Shika started to freak out more. What the hell was going on?
"You're a rat! I've turned you into a RAT! I knew there something wrong with me! That's probably why I've never had a boyfriend-I turn people into a animal!"
A little amused the whole thing, Yuki stopped trying to talk to her. She had an obvious fear of rats and she was freaking out way too much. -POOF- another cloud of purple like smoke enveloped them.
He's back!...and he's naked! Blood rushed to her face and she quickly turned around. This is too much.
"Miss Kabuki, would you please come with me" Yuki asked. "It's okay you can look now" he smiled as she shook her head. This was just the beginning of a very long day...
