My name is Heather Peterson. People think that blondes can't have an adventure because they're dumb. They're so dumb, they would mess everything up. Well, I am here to tell you about my adventure that I like to call life. Told by me, a blonde. And there is nothing wrong with that. I have been 13 for a while now, and I have always dreaded the number 13 because I thought it was unlucky. Yes, I am superstitious. But I have been trying to get rid of that "habit". But I didn't know that I was right. Until now.
"Hey Alexa." I tried to get my friend's attention, but she was always dreaming. I do that sometimes to. She has the most beautiful, long, brown hair I have ever seen. We are both 5 ft tall. Which in this age of giant like people, it is considered short. I nudged her and finally got her attention.
She turned her head from the bus window and sluggishly said, "What?" Then Taylor, (on my left) commented "I bet she's going to say are we there yet?" My face flushed when I admitted " Well yeah! This bus ride is taking FOREVER!" Taylor, who also has beautiful, long, brown hair with RED highlights, chuckled.
We were on a school field trip to Lakeville Park. We were going to play on the grassy hills and playground equipment. Then at lunch we would have a picnic! I thought it sounded wonderful! Alexa and Taylor thought so to. Although they also didn't want to be stuck at school doing extra homework. Which I thought was a pretty good deal to not have homework for a day. Bus rides gave me a headache unless I had some music to listen to, or someone to talk to. So I decided to ask the age-old question, are we there yet? Alexa snapped, "No! If we were there yet, we would be parking, and Mrs. Anderson and Ms. Krause would be explaining the rules and expectations." "So what are we going to do at the park?" inquired Taylor. " How about we team up with Henry and try to beat Brian at wrestling!" I suggested eagerly. I liked wrestling and any thing that had to do with challenging my strength.
Henry and Brian are new friends that we met at the beginning of the year. People describe them as well, nerds! But I don't think that. I think that it's cool that they like dungeons and dragons. That didn't make them nerds. Ever since Brian and I went to the school dance together, we have been labeled by the student body boyfriend and girlfriend. That is completely untrue. We're just friends. But our communications teacher, Ms Krause, is always teasing us and calling us lovebirds. She is always fun, loud, and expressive. That's why she is my favorite teacher.
I sat there for the rest of the ride daydreaming what it would be like to prove Brian wrong, that I was stronger then him. We're very competitive of each other. One time, we went through an obstacle course and he won the first time. The second time he let me win and made me believe that I won on my own. He boosted my self-esteem and criticized me at the same time. I was happy; at least until I got it out of Henry that he let me win. Now I was driven even more to beat him.
The sound of Alexa's voice calling out "Finally, we're here!" shook me out of my daze. I was filled with anticipation and excitement. I couldn't wait to get off the bus and have some fun! Which I do best by the way! I looked Alexa's way and saw that she was making the blahblahblah motion with her hand. Taylor glared at her and said, "Pay attention and give them some respect! They can't help it that they're stupid and like to detain us!" We all giggled at that until Mrs. Anderson told us to pipe down. And finally we exited off the bus and into the uncramped, fresh, cool air. Brian and Henry appeared from the crowd. Henry smiled sheepishly and said "Hey." And Brian raised his hand and said " Hello." We all smiled and said in unison " Hey." "Let's go over to the hill. I've got a surprise for you all that you might enjoy!" Brian invited and gestured that we follow him. So we went along for the ride.
The trees are so beautiful this time of year. It was fall and the leaves are just drifting off the branches. The air was crisp and the wind was sharp. But I still liked it. Alexa liked it because it gave her a chance to wear her prized sweatshirts. She loved them and couldn't live without them. I didn't know why. Brian also seemed to like sweatshirts. Probably because he thought it was a guy thing. I believed that it made him look cuddly. Taylor and I were wearing our jean jackets. I thought that they complimented my jeans, were comfortable, and kept me warm. Taylor's had her name embroidered into it. Mine had blue, pink, and green flowers decorating the edges. Alexa's sweatshirt was a beautiful crimson red. I really thought that it brought out her tree bark hair. Brian's was navy blue. It made him look wise and brave. Taylor looked pretty adventurous with her jean jacket on. I felt really happy and full of adventure in mine.
I must have really showed it, because everyone else was smiling. I couldn't help it. The scenery was just too beautiful. It was calming, and had a fun atmosphere at the same time. It's very rare to find something like that. Especially with all the development and economy. The wars, the over population, and global warming were really depressing. I asked my grandma once what she thought about global warming, and she said that global warming wasn't real and it was all made up. That really hurt me inside. I have always loved my grandma, and I always will. It's just that I always thought that we had everything in common! She really did enjoy nature with me SSSSSSSOOOOOOO much! We would sit on her porch and look onto the lake and admire her giant walnut and oak trees. Grandma and I shared everything together. I missed those times. I can't wait to see her again! I thought pleasantly.
I was startled at how quickly we got to the hill. The hill looked to be 40 ft tall! Everyone on the ground below us looked like tiny little beetles scurrying about. One minute, I was admiring the moment, and the next I felt pressure against my back and the ground was coming into view.
I was rolling down the hill! It was at the very bottom that I landed on my back. I jumped to my feet and rushed up the hill. I could here everyone laughing! And Brian's most famous line, "Man! That was funny!" He then pushed me back down as I reached the top! What an idiot! He's not getting anything for his birthday! I screamed in my head. My strategy changed and I swiftly ran up the other side of the hill. He was still laughing and he had his back turned. Brian turned around right before I was about to push him off. He exclaimed, "That was the big surprise!" Alexa pushed "Ok! Now it's your turn!" Brian was gone in a flash. We sped after him. Alexa in the lead, followed by me, then it was Taylor, and finally Henry. Soon Brian was surrounded. We were positioned to pounce. I took a brave dive at him, but he jumped out of my reach into Taylor who was shoved aside. Everyone was making lunges and moves and it. But he just kept on avoiding and shoving us away.
Soon we all gave up and sat in the grass. I laid down on my back. And smiled in contempt, closed my eyes, and breathed in the fresh smell of nature. "Man! You guys are WEAK!" He just had to say that. "Brian, if I wasn't so comfortable, then you would regret saying that." Taylor broke in saying " Alright children, enough. By the way, I'm really hungry." "Well, It's your lucky day, because it's lunch time!" Ms. Krause walked up to us. It turns out that she was watching our show from a distance. She told us that it was like watching The Three Stooges!
We all had our lunch. I had a sandwich, some water, and an apple. I absolutely LOVE apples! Their sweet taste. The red skin. I just love all fruits and vegetables. Taylor and Alexa think it's gross, but I like artichokes and lima beans. Alexa once said, "Soon you're going to be telling me you like asparagus and steamed broccoli!" which I really don't like anyway.
When everyone was finished I pulled Alexa and Taylor aside and suggested, "Hey, I have an idea! Let's explore the forest over there!" I pointed to the east. "Oh fun!" Taylor and Alexa both agreed that it would be fine to sneak away for a while.
And so we crept into the forest. It was like a maze of Oaks and Pines! Even a few Walnut trees here and there. We strode side by side. Soon we came to a clearing where we found the biggest tree that I have ever seen! It stood taller than all the rest. At the base was a giant root that made an arch large enough, and wide enough for us to fit. I walked toward it and looked down into it to find a large tunnel leading to who knows where. "Hey you guys! There's a tunnel down there!" "Should we go down and have a look see?" Taylor laughed and stood next to me. Alexa answered for me "No way! How are we supposed to know what lives down there! It could be a bear! And I am not going to get on the bad side of an angry bear!" "Hey, do you feel the wind picking up?" I flipped up the collar of my jean jacket and shivered. Leaves started blowing and the wind became so strong that it pushed me off my feet! I fell down the tunnel screaming "Alexa! Taylor! Help!" Soon Taylor and Alexa jumped in after me. It was dark. All I could see was blackness dotted with white stars. A large yellow light blinded me. Then I knew no more. "Hey you! Wake up already! If you don't then I'll just throw you down the nearest mountain!" Man this guy is annoying! I opened up my eyes to see a boy looking down at me. He had beautiful silver hair. And dog-ears. Oh so cute! I want to touch them! I sat up and started feeling his ears. He got the silliest look on his face. "Oh! Sorry! They're just so cute! I had to! Wait, dog-ears?" I screamed and scooted away from him. "What's your problem?" He asked. "Y….Y………you have dog ears." I answered shakily. "Oh you're awake!" A girl wearing clothes from my time came walking over and she bent down next to that cute boy. "What are your names? And where the heck am I?" Was all that I could manage to say. "I'm Inuyasha and she's Kagome. Right now you're in MY forest." All of a sudden I felt something rubbing against my butt. Kagome and Inuyasha's faces showed sorrow. I turned and saw a Buddhist monk. I slapped him so hard his cheek turned red. I screamed, "Pervert!" "That's Miroku. He's perverted." Kagome commented with a sigh. "So I noticed." I said sarcastically.
"Wait a second, where are my friends?" I asked suddenly remembering that they went in after me. "There're right over there." Inuyasha pointed lazily. I ran over to there unconscious bodies. First I tried Taylor successfully. "Hey Heather. Who are they?" She went over and started to feel Inuyashsa's ears. "You can tolerate it Inuyasha. Remember, my family and I did it to." Kagome sighed lost in memories. "That's Inuyasha. She's Kagome, and he's Miroku." I pointed out each of them. "Will you bear my first child?" Miroku asked Taylor with a perverted look on his face. "Heck no you pervert!" And he got a good smacking.
"What's with all the racket?" Alexa got up and surveyed everyone. "I'm dreaming." Was that all she could say? Inuyasha decided to take things into his own hands. "NO! You're not dreaming! I'm Inuyasha, she's Kagome, and he's Miroku. Miroku is very perverted." "Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. You didn't even let me ask her." Miroku moaned dissatisfied. "Inuyasha! Kagome! I see our friends are awake." A woman on a giant cat landed. "Everyone! This is Sango!" Miroku introduced. "HOLD IT! I want to know what the heck is going on!"
We all sat down and shared everything about each other. I said that Alexa, Taylor and I were from Lakeville, Minnesota in America. It turns out that Kagome was also from our time but in Tokyo. We talked for hours describing our homelands. After awhile a cute little fox demon named Shippo appeared. Taylor absolutely adored him. We learned of Naraku, demons, and The Shikon Jewel, Inuyasha's father, and older brother Sesshomaru. He is Lord of the Western Lands. He is also a full dog demon. Inuyasha is only a half-demon.
"You know, I want to meet Sesshomaru. He sounds pretty interesting. I bet that he's not all that bad. He probably has a good reason to attack Inuyasha. It's a sibling rivalry thing. Trust me. I have an annoying younger brother." I continued. "He does have a reason. But it's not a good one. He wants my sword. The Tetsaiga. He already has his own sword. The Tensaiga. But it only resurrects and heals. So it is no good in battle." Put in Inuyasha. "He already sounds powerful enough. Why does he need more strength?" asked Taylor. "Who knows. I suppose that he is power hungry like Naraku." And Miroku ended the conversation. "We have to keep moving and try to find the Jewel Shards."
Comments: I love Sesshomaru! This is suppose to be a Sesshomaru romance fanfic. Don't worry. We'll see him after a few short chapters. Then it's all him! By the way. I hate Kikyo! Please reveiw so far and tell me what you think. Saphira381
