Living the Life on the Rails
A loud, constant beeping echoed through the mansion, waking any possible person that would be stupid to sleep in that late in the morning. Then, with an even louder smash, it became quiet in a matter of seconds besides the slight rustling of cloth that could be distinctly heard if you tried. This was the start of Sakura Kinomoto's new life...
"Sakura! No Kaijuu! Get up NOW!"
Touya went pounding up the stairs and the door came bursting upon, pouring light into the large white bedroom, the curtains pulled tightly so no light could enter the room.
There were piles of clothes on the floor, guy shirts and baggy guy pants, hoodies here and there, and a lot of...girl necessities. If you looked hard enough, you could see a backpack, a skate board with blue flames turn to red on the bottom with the name Sakura on the bottom. On the walls were posters of famous singers: Eminem, TATU, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Avril Lavagine (don't know how to spell her stinkin' name! Some tell me please!), and so on.
A grand king sized bed had a lump protruding from its surface in the middle, which moved slightly and muffled mumbles of annoyance came from underneath. Touya just walked to the side that was closest to the lump and cupped his hands to his mouth, and gave a moan not unlike a distressed ghost.
Suddenly a squeak came from the lump, and the covers were torn off to show waist length frazzled hair, a semi tanned skin, and a pair of burning emerald eyes that looked to Touya as if he had a death wish. Touya smiled and asked,
"You up yet Kaijuu?" (for those who don't know, kaijuu is Japanese for monster, and Touya always loves calling that to Sakura...)
Sakura just glared at him for a full minute before yelling,
"Me not a KAIJUU!"
She grabbed a pillow and she threw it straight at him, aimed square in the nose, and sadly for Touya, he was not fast enough to get past the fury of it all. Sakura then got out of bed (she is wearing a bra and a pair of boxers...GO BOXERS!), and pulled a knocked out Touya (never thought you'd see the day when Sakura could up Touya, did ya? Hmmm...lol ) out of her room, and slammed the door right after him. Giving a yell of frustration, she went to her closet and grabbed the nearest pair of clothes that was in her liking of the day.
She muttered many words of profanity about what she'll do to Touya when she got home later that day as she got on her clothes. She pulled on a pair of blue baggy pants, attached to them were 4 silver chains, a black baggy T- shirt with the words 'Do you think I give a care about you?' in a white arch on the front, and managed as if in a practiced move, she had gotten her long hair into a neat high ponytail as she thrust a blue hoodie with two black dragons on it over her head.
She grabbed her backpack and skateboard, pulled open the door, and flew down the stairs to the kitchen where her brother was sitting at the table eating some cereal. He sneered at her as he cramped anther spoonful down his throat. Sakura ignored him and stuffed a donut into her mouth and ran to the door to put her sneakers on. Her brother's voice could be heard from the kitchen,
"Sakura? Are you going to school on your skateboard on the first day of you new school?"
Sakura grinned, knowing her brother will want to follow her, making sure non-of the boys on the way will try to hit on his little sister, so she hurried putting on the other shoe. She answered as she opened the door,
"Yeah! Later Touya!"
She was out the door before he could say a word. He walked to the window of the kitchen and watched as she ran to the front gate of the mansion. She opened the gate and tossed down her board and sped away. Touya sighed and thought as he went back to his seat and finish his breakfast,
'Man, I'll never get used to girls. And just when I finally got a date with that Samantha girl back in the states, mom and dad say we have to move to Japan to support Sakura... Shot! I'm already late!' (Now, back to the real person this stories about...)
Sakura was going along the sidewalk swiftly, her headphones were blaring out Linkin Park. Several people looked at the girl in surprise as she passed them along the way. Some thought,
'Another skater?'
As she approached the school, Sakura noticed that a girl with black hair that as well wore baggy cargo pants and a black hoodie was skating on the other side of the street, with a few boys following her. Sakura shook her head and turned into the school parking lot, where she saw about 3- skater boys' jump over the few cars and nearby benches. She thought to herself as she skated to a bench that was not being used to do tricks,
'They seem pretty good! I wonder if they'd let me skate with them?'
She flipped up her board and set it to the side as she plopped onto the bench. After several minutes of watching, the girl she saw earlier on the street skated in with the same group of boys (3) and the girl suddenly seemed to notice a new comer over on the bench. She waved to the guys and skated over to Sakura. When she got to her, Sakura saw that the girl had a gentle but wild face that framed her purple/violet eyes. The girl asked with a grin,
"You new here?
Sakura nodded and smiled back with an answer,
"Yeah, why?"
The girls grin widened as she held out her hand to Sakura,
" I'll tell you later. By the way, my names Tomoyo Daidouji. But the guys back there like to call me Madison. What's your name?"
Sakura stood and took Tomoyo's extended hand in a firm shake,
"Sakura. My family just moved here about 2-3 weeks ago from the states."
Tomoyo seemed interested and asked
"Seriously? You talk like an average day Japanese person! I thought you were gonna say something like from Tokyo or Kyoto...but the states! Dang! Well, how bout you join us? We have 20 minutes before any of the preps be coming, and I wanna see how good you are."
Tomoyo winked and the two giggled. Then a guy called over,
"Yo, Mad! She cool or not! Let's get some moves on before winter!"
Tomoyo waved him off, then looked to Sakura questioningly,
"You in?
"Most definitely...Maddy."
They smiled and both got back on their skateboards and headed towards the boys. The boys looked to Tomoyo, and then Sakura, all checking her out. One asked (he has dyed green hair and was about 6 foot)
"What's your name?"
Sakura looked up to his face, blinked a couple times, then answered
"Sakura..."
The guys looked at her expectantly. She waited for them to start talking. Another asked (has blonde hair with brown spikes, about 5'9", and was lean by the looks of it.)
"Why aren't you skating already? We gotta see your moves, don't we?"
There was a murmur that went through the group, and Sakura gave in,
"K, but only warm-ups. Don't want to pull a cramp!"
She started off slow, then went to the better tricks, half pipe on the small rails and jumping over 2 benches in less than a 5 second break. She was soaring over the principals truck! Front flip, back flip, railings again, this time, grabbing the board a full 3 seconds and let go 1 second before impact to the ground.
When Sakura got back to them, smiling without a sweat or being out of breath, they just stood there gapping, stunned to the extreme. Tomoyo was the first to unfreeze herself and exclaimed, bounding up and down,
"Sakura, you need a skating name, because your to good to be 'just' Sakura! You skate like a pro! You so earned the title!"
Sakura nervously laughed as she thought
'If only you knew the truth...but what am I saying...they like my skating! As if no one can't stop liking it! But they don't even seem like the others...'
The guys were nodding vigorously at Tomoyo, and then the whole area became an outburst of what to call her, (it sorta went like this) "Goddess."
"Dream."
"Hottie 101!"
"Goddess!"
"No, Queen!"
"NO, GODDESS!"
"Guys, we're not supposed to be arguing over what you think she looks like as in person! We give her a name by her skills."
(mumbling) "I still say Goddess..."
"How bout Sweet&Spice?"
"No..."
All turned to Tomoyo, who was deep in thought. She then turned her head up to them, smiling brightly.
"No, something that deserves respect. Something...royal. Something like...Empress Ying Fa..."
