Always Have
Some
things will never change.
/*
Fushigi Yuugi characters Soi and Nakago are creations of the amazing Yuu
Watase; reincarnations Sanziko and Kitsune came from my imagination of depression.
So I don't know exactly how you put a disclaimer to that – my first Soi/Nakago
fanfic. Please read and review!!! Peace. */
She wasn't looking at where she
was going. I can't be late again. Oh, I don't even want to think about it! I
want to be on that team!
She
didn't notice the small elevation on the path. WHHOOOAA!
"Hey, are
you okay?"
She
looked up to wave-blue eyes she knew all too well. She'd been longing to look
into them since she laid eyes on Nobura Sanziko.
She
straightened up, trying to desperately recover from that embarrassing trip.
"Umm, yes. Thank you."
And
with that she ran off to her sports club without daring to look back and
hearing he and his friends' taunts.
Or
just one peek.
"Who
was that girl?"
"Don't you know?"
He shook his head, raising one eyebrow. "Don't you know? Well, it looks like
you've had your first of many Clumsy Kitsune run-ins!" The gang laughed at this
politically-incorrect truth – except Sanziko.
"Huh?
Kitsune?"
"That
was Bonzu Kitsune, junior, has absolutely no sense of coordination – but real
smart," answered Koganei, ending with a flash of his brilliant pearly whites.
Jinkuto
added, "She could be pretty if she just fixed herself up, you know."
"Jinkuto's
got a crush! Jinkuto's got a crush!" The group teased as they headed to the
mall.
When
they got to the food court: "Hey, where's Sanziko?"
Sanziko
entered the building the girl had entered. Yeah, this is great, Sanziko.
You're trying to look for a girl with chestnut hair you don't even know… but I
do know. THE girl with chestnut hair. He shook his head at the crazy
thought. He walked on and saw her going through a glass door that led to a
track oval. Oh, she's a runner, eh?
Why
do I have to be so clumsy? I couldn't have made a worse first impression on
Sanziko." She laughed to herself. Like I'd even get to leave any impression
on him, anyway.
She
took off her pigtails with one hand as she laid her bag on the bench. When both
hands were free, she took off her glasses and tied her hair back to one knot.
She
got ready at the starting line, flexing. I may never be physically
attractive but, at least, I'll be physically able.
She
got to her mark and ran hard. Away from the teasing and torture. "Clumsy
Kitsune!" "O Kitsune, your hands are minutes ahead of your brain again!" "I
know a good movie you could watch on Prom Night!"
Stop!
Go away!
She
ran.
Sanziko
stared in awe. Wow, she's fast! Is she on our track team? Why haven't I seen
her before – but I have. I know I have…
/* Is it
kind of vague? I'll post the next chapter up for you to get a more precise view
– reincarnation remember? */
