Fanfic number 5, and it's...quite possibly...bad...

Yeaahhh, whenever a new idea pops up in my head, I feel compelled to start working on it. This is yet another one of those.

Chapters for this story probably won't be as long as the other stories, and I will update it whenever I feel like it. With this, I have 3 stories running, and that can get a bit tough.

This is my homage to the Turok games, and I'm not putting it in crossover since no one will read it if I do. XD

I do not own Turok or Azumanga.

WARNING : Do NOT take this fic seriously! XD


Chapter 1 : Another Day With No Real Significant Purpose.

Good Morning!

Good morning indeed! The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the dew lingered on the leaves like small, sparkling diamonds, people in a happy mood strolled over the streets and greeted everyone politely with a kiss-ass smile. All in all, it was a very nice morning, yet someone would have preferred it if it were still night. With a groan, the tall and generally 'cool' girl with the pitch black hair lifted her head off her pillow. She yawned and rubbed her eyes, only to have the sunrays flashing into them. Blinded, Sakaki let herself fall down again.

What day was it today anyway. Did it really matter? Every day was exactly the same routine. Eat breakfast, walk to school, get bitten in the hand, sit in class and stare out the window, eat lunch, try to participate in conversation with the others, walk back home, get bitten again, eat dinner, do homework, do something in her free time, go to bed, and that was pretty much it. Yet all in all, she couldn't really complain. She did fine in school and she was quite happy with how she lived. Only...there were some things that had been bothering her lately, some inconveniences...

She wanted to enjoy the silence a little bit more and turn herself around again before getting ready for school, but her mom's witch-like nagging coming from below dragged her out of her rest. Slightly disgruntled, Sakaki nearly fell out of her bed and shuffeled to the bathroom.

"Yeah mom! I'm up!" she called out.

*Time Skip =D*

Sakaki left her house without eating breakfast. She strolled down the road and dissapeared in her thoughts. It seemed like forever since she managed to eat a decent meal. For some reason, she just wasn't that hungry. That may have been inconvenience number one, but there were other things that were even weirder. On the usual wall in the usual spot, she crossed paths with a sleeping, black furball. When she got closer to it, the seemingly happy and smiling cat woke up and hopped off to the sidewalk. Now, it was staring Sakaki straight in the eyes, like it was trying to devour her soul or something. Yet, like usual, it looked inviting, but Sakaki never learned her lesson. She crouched down and cautiously moved her hand to the cat's head. She thought that maybe, this time, she would finally succeed without having to walk around with bandages the rest of the day, but that's what she thought every single day. The cat's mouth went wide open, revealing the abnormaly large and sharp teeth, and like one of those Chain Chomps from Super Mario, clenched its terrible jaws down on her fingers. Sakaki shut her eyes but didn't feel anything. The teeth clanked onto eachother and Kamineko ran for it, leaving the girl's hand in perfect condition. Sakaki sighed deeply and looked at her hand. Inconvenience number two! Since about one week, every now and then, her hands mysteriously turned transparent and could simply phaze through solid objects. Like she was turning into a ghost or something. Of course, it bothered her, but she never told anyone about this. It sure costed her mom a whole lot of mugs back at home, but she made up the excuse that she was just being clumsy. She sighed again and picked up her suitcase. Of course, her hand just went through the handle. She wanted to slap herself in the face, but that was impossible too. She could only wait until it wore off. After that, she slapped herself in the face and picked up her suitcase.

*Another Time Skip =^.^=*

In class, Sakaki did what she did best. Stare out of the window and try to spot the birds. Coming from the front, Yukari's broken English droned, while Tomo, Kagura and Osaka were fast asleep on their desks. Yomi and Chiyo seemed to be the only ones who were paying attention. As the lone wolf stared outside, something caught her eye down below. Sakaki blinked a few times and looked again. Indeed, there was a tall, bald guy, clad in a black and red robe, standing in the middle of the quarter. She continued to stare, and the guy started waving at her. Sakaki shook her head and rubbed her eyes, then looked again. He was gone, disappeared into thin air. She sighed in relief and decided to focus on the lesson. After a few more minutes, she got unsure and looked outside again. Something she shouldn't have done. The guy was now floating right outside the window, giving her a somewhat friendly smile.

"Waaaah!"

Sakaki couldn't help but yelp. She just got scared the crap outta her! The rest of the class turned their heads at her, except for the knuckleheads, who required a cannon going off right next to their ears to wake up.

"Sakaki-san, is there a problem?" Yukari grumbled agitated.

"Ahh, errr, no! No problem! I just....ehh...."

Sakaki tried to think of something to say and glanced outside again. This time, the man was pressing his face against the glass. He then started rubbing all over it and made funny and dumb faces, like imitating a fish and doing an impression of a mosquito splattered on the windshield of a speeding car. Sakaki nervously varied her gaze between the mysterious man and the ticked off homeroom teacher while stammering.

"I...I-I'm sorry..."

Yukari placed her hand on her forehead and sighed.

"That's the third time this week! Is there something wrong with you?"

"Ah, no, nothing's wrong... It won't happen again, I promise!"

"Good. Well now, where were we..."

Sakaki looked outside one last time. The guy was now faced away from her, was bending over and was about to pull up his robe. It was at this moment that Sakaki figured it would be the best idea to stop looking.

Inconvenience number three! Who the hell was that guy and why couldn't anyone else but her see him!?

*Yet Another Time Skip! =3*

Just in the afternoon, P.E. time! At least something that Sakaki could really enjoy. Nyamo had chosen volleyball, and Sakaki's team included Yomi, Chiyo, Kaorin and some other random classmates. On the other side of the net were Tomo, Kagura, Osaka and then some. Everyone covered their heads. Tomo was on serve.

"Alright! You'd better be ready because it's time for my patented Super Deluxe Tomo Meteor Smash From Hell And Back Version 2.35 2001 Limited Edition!!! Here goes!!!"

After blurting all that out without tripping over her own tongue, Tomo threw the ball up high in the air and smashed it with every ounce of strength in her frail muscles. The volleyball zoomed through the air and even made it over the net! Sakaki was certain that she would be able to catch and readied her hands to bop it back up. Just then, a little voice sounded in her head.

"Sakaki... Sakakiii~"

"Huh?"

Sakaki turned her head confused, only to have the speeding ball slamming into her skull and tossing her little brains around. For extra effect, she fell backwards in slow motion and hit the ground with a thud.

"Whoa! Holy cow! Sakaki-san, you okay?! Nice shot Tomo!" Kagura exclaimed.

Sakaki layed on the ground, twitching with twirls in her eyes.

"Th...That was...a very good...serve..." she uttered.

Suddenly, the voice inside her head returned.

"Sorry about that..." it said.

Yomi and Kaorin helped the fallen girl back up. "You okay? I was sure you had it that time. What happened?" the bespectacled one asked.

"I got...distracted, that's all. I'll get it next time!"

"Can you still play?" Kaorin spoke up worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

When she saw everything was alright, Nyamo blew her whistle and made an announcement.

"Okay, let's continue! Tomo's still on serve! Go!"

Inconvenience number four! That strange voice would pop up at the most inapropriate times, usually calling her name. When she was asleep, when she was eating, sometimes during class, hell, even when she was in the bathroom taking a shower she would hear it. It was always whispering too. It was driving her absolutely insane, but didn't want to bust her head about it. Tomo already did that for her.

*You Probably Know By Now! XP*

After School. Everyone was worried about their friend. It occured to them that she was acting strange lately. It happened frequently that she would just yelp in class for no apparent reason and was all nervous all of the time. During lunch, she dropped her plate and looked like she was trying to hide something, and then there was the volleyball incident, something that never happened before.

"Maybe she's in love or something! People do weird things when they're in love!" Tomo commented, something that Kaorin didn't like to hear.

"That's rediculous Tomo. You don't freak out in class when you're in love," Kagura pointed out.

"I wonder what Sakaki's boyfriend would look like. I mean, he'd have to be even taller than her, but she's actually taller than any boy in our class... So he'd have to be a giant!"

"Oh dear, here we go again," Yomi sighed. "She doesn't have a boyfriend Osaka. There's something else that causes her to act up like that."

"Maybe she's crazy!" Osaka wailed.

"Hey, you don't say that! The correct term is mentally ill."

"So she is huh?! She's totally going nuts isn't she?!"

"I don't know Tomo! I'm just saying it could be a possibility, that's all."

"Yep, crazy, definitely. I saw it coming, she's always acting so weird and stuff, I mean-"

Kaorin delivered a boneshattering uppercut to Tomo's chin and sended her flying over a few desks. When she landed, she was sure she could see some stars twinkling in front of her eyes, so she tried to catch them. Next, she blurted out some nonsense... No, even more nonsense than normally!

"...cupcakes...giant dinosaurs with cannons...awesome..."

"Whoa, is this a plot I feel coming up?!" Kagura mused.

"That's it! Sakaki-san is going to a place filled with cupcakes and dinosaurs with cannons! I wish I could go..." Osaka said dumbly.

Then, there was only silence.

...

"Did Kaorin just punch Tomo?" Yomi lisped.

...

"Anyone hungry?" Kagura asked no one in particular.

...

"I'd like some cupcakes actually... With purple frosting and chupacabra teeth... Grapejuice..." Tomo uttered from behind the desks.

...

*sigh*

*Catching Up With Sakaki Again! Desu*

Nearly running into the door, Sakaki made it home safe and sound. She ran up the stairs and threw her suitcase into her room. She went to the bathroom to splash some water in her face. Too much had happened to her today, and slowly, and about time, she started to become concerned about herself. She just stood there for a while, staring at herself in the mirror with wide eyes.

"What's happening to me...?"

Surely she couldn't go see a doctor about this. They'd stuff her in a nuthouse and feed her pills! She always thought that she wasn't crazy, but she started doubting that now herself. Maybe she was just tired, that's what she tried to tell herself. She opened the faucet, took a handfull of water and threw it in her face. As she sputtered out the water that made it in her mouth, she looked into the mirror again. There was that guy again, standing behind her, reflected in the mirror, imitating the guy from Psycho with an imaginary knife while making silly faces. Sakaki turned around startled, but of course, there was noone there.

"Wh...who's there?"

No answer though...

"What do you want from me?!"

After some more deafening silence, and Sakaki's heartbeat going up like the Apollo 11, the voice sounded in her head again. It hummed the Jeopardy thinking theme, still in that whispering tone.

"Argh! Get out of my head! I hate that show!" she now yelled from the top of her lungs.

"Oi! Keep it down up there will ya?!" her father's angry voice roared from the first floor. "I'm tryin' to watch the damn game here!"

Embarrased, Sakaki ran to her room and plumped down on her bed. Like those voices weren't bad enough, she suddenly started feeling extremely tired. Unusual, since it wasn't even evening yet. She slapped herself awake, because she knew that she still had homework to do. But in the end, she lost the fight. Laying down was a bad decision, and she payed for that now. Her whole body felt light as a feather and she once again heard that voice.

"Come to us...Chosen One..."

"Ch...Chosen One...?" she repeated weakly, right before she fell into a deep slumber. Little did she know, she wasn't going to wake up again. Not in the same place that is.

"Seriously? Chosen One? Couldn't you have come up with something even more clichéd?"

"Hey, if you're gonna act like a jerk about it, why don't you do it next time?! Making me whisper like an idiot all the time. Is that really necessary?"

"You don't know anything do you? We're supposed to sound mysterious! It's in the script, so stop whining!"

"I don't see why we just couldn't have just done this in the first place. I mean, we need a replacement urgently, so why not just bring her here immediately?"

"Plot! Ever heard of it? We can't just jump right into the story. Besides, this is just a prologue!"

"Hey guys, I'm gonna go pick up some donuts, you want some? Oh and uh, that red light is still blinking..."

"Oh Shi-"

About fifteen minutes later, Sakaki's mother came waltzing up the stairs. She knocked on the door of her daughter's room and called her name. When she got no answer, she just invited herself in.

"What would you like for dinner honey? Ehh... hun? What the..."

Although her bed showed traces of having been layed on recently, Sakaki wasn't there. Her windows weren't open, so she couldn't have escaped through them. Because, let's face it, that's what all girls her age do. Jump out of the window on the second floor. She couldn't remember seeing the girl leaving either, and she was sure she heard her shouting a few minutes ago. She was standing before a mystery that seemed impossible to figure out. She couldn't have just dissapeared, could she? Only one thing was certain, the family could cut down one plate on the dinner table tonight.

What happened to Sakaki? What will Sakaki's mom make for dinner in the end? Will Tomo ever stop being an idiot? Will Chiyo actually get any lines? Answers to all this and more in the next episode!

(Warning : most of these questions may not be answered in the next episode.)
