Chapter 1: Bad Day
Tick, tick, tick, tick. The clock above me was irritating, and it kept on doing so. Tick tick tick tick,
'What is taking so long?!' I thought twiddling my thumbs in the waiting room. My left leg bounced up and down from the anxiety .The passing nurses and doctors weren't helping either with their glaring, and murmuring in soft whispers to one another. Tears threatening to over flow, as the thought of one person in the E.R. I focused on the positive, staring at the marbled floor that reflect my expression. It looked grim.
' how could this have happened…this was all my fault' suppressing the urged to hit myself, I clamped both hands together from doing anything drastic…for example, punch the doctor near me for keeping his glare at my face.
" Umm, Sora?" I dropped back to earth and looked up to the voice that spoke. It was the doctor that helped me earlier. Her name tag had the words written across that stated 'Aireth', she also had long red hair was tied back to a braided bow. My eyes widened at the look she gave me. Sympathy.
"Is she okay?!" I yelled jumping up to my feet, and yanking the front of her coat, bringing us to eye contact. Startled, she looked away from me and motioned the two nurses watching from the distant with her head. The nurses jogged to her side and pressed me back down to my seat. The traitor tears were running down my face betraying me.
'This is not looking good.'
"she…she didn't make it" Aireth explained, looking down at the same time ". The crash was instant death, and we couldn't reach her in time.." no. "… she went into shock and lost a huge amount of blood…" NO. "…Sora?"
"NOO!!!" I yelled pulling away from the two nurses that held me down, and sprinted towards the room the person I cared for was held in.
" She cant be dead!!"
"Sora, wait!!" Aireth yelled from behind. But it was to late, I had to see her, I had to make sure the person that I loved was okay.
Pushing back the two white double doors violently out of my way. I yelled out to her.
"MOM!!!"
Gasping, I stood up from my bed, looking around frantically. " Another dream…" I whispered wiping away the sweat dripping down my forehead. Seeing my room would be some what a relief, if I wasn't late for school. Slowly I stood up from my bed, and untangled myself from the bed sheet.
It's been 3 years since okaasan's death, and now I was the last Maiko. Our last name has cursed us to bring misfortune to those around us, and because of that people have treated me as if I was an outcast. Knowing that the only way to stay alive, and never have negative thoughts of those around me, was to stay positive and smile…even though the pain was unbearable.
After washing up, and ransacking my closet for a decent pair of clothes to wear, I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen.
" Ohayou gozaimasu, okaasan!!" I yelled grabbing a picture frame off the counter that was next to a vase full of yellow sunflowers. " Today, I'm moving up to an intermediate school, wont that be exciting!" I was shaking in fear, knowing that I will have to meet new faces, and a new teacher.
'What if they don't like me?' I thought. 'What if I embarrassed myself?' I slapped my face with both hands, and forced a big grin. " Think Positive, Sora!!" I said aloud.
"Sora!!" a girl yelled from the outside. "Hayaku, or were going to be late on the first day!!"
"Hai!!" putting down the picture, I ran to meet the girl. Red hair glittered off the sun as her face came into view, I threw her a goofy grin. " You know Kairi, you better stop dying your hair, it won't be natural red, no matter how much times you color it-" I dogded a pencil that was hurtling towards my face.
" Ha, ha." she rolled her eyes and glared at me. " I should let you know, this is my natural hair color" Kairi said flipping a strand of hair behind her. And the babbling started.
Kairi, wasn't really my cousin, but it's just that we became so close, I guess were just like family. She was worried about my social life, and always asked about my family, but I shrugged it off. Once though, Kairi questioned about my parents and wanted to see them. Knowing she will be worried, I knew what I had to do which was very simple…lie. Saying excuses like 'oh, she's on a business trip' or ' At a meeting', Kairi knew I was lying but eventualy shrugged it off.
Walking towards the bus stop, something caught my eye. It could be my imagination, but a shadow of a person was lurking around the darkness of the alleys. Turning to see a better view of this shadow, it disappeared. Followed by a black van screeching around the corner and disappearing out of sight.
" Hey Kairi, did you see that-ouch!" I gasped falling backwards, from bumping into something. Someone grabbed my hand and pulled me back in a straight position. 'damn' I thought ' I better stop walking, and daydreaming at the same time…'
" Hey, watch where your going, kid!" a silver haired boy yelled in front of me. He wore a light black shirt with dark blue jeans that had a chain connecting from the front to the back of him. Looking slowly up to his face, his eyes were glaring at me with intense fury. A cold feeling rolled up my back, as I felt a shiver coming up. But as fast as it came his fury was distinguished with curiosity.
"S-s-sorry, I wasn't paying attention…" looking down from the glaring silver god, I tensed knowing a lot of cussing was going to roll out soon. Instead, hearing a chuckle, rather than more yelling, I looked up confused. Was he smiling…at me, a Maiko?
"Hey, you okay?" looking at me with worried expression.
'what…worried… he is real isn't he?' looking at Kairi for confirmation, she brighten up and vanished behind me.
Noticing the confused look I gave him, he winked at me. Quickly, I looked down and felt myself blush.
"Konichiwa!" Kairi chirped out of nowhere, flinging her arm over my shoulders. " My name is Kairi, and this Tomato is Sora, were nephew's!!" she grinned at the silver haired boy. Noticing the comment she gave, I blushed even a darker color.
"I'm not a tomato" I mumbled.
"what's yours" ignoring what I said, and blinding everyone with a smile. She was now, in her Kawaii mood. What is that you may ask? Well Kawaii mood for Kairi is when something cute happens she must…satisfy the hunger.
" Names Riku, Riku Tsurugi" he spoke, not averting his eyes from my ever so red face. Grinning, he stuck out a hand towards me. " Nice, to meet you Kairi…Sora" He said in a husky voice.
" Well, are you going to the intermediate with us?" she asked and with a sly grin, she pushed us closer towards Riku. My feet scraping against the gravel, as I Tried to wrench myself away, but she held on widening the grin on her face, and proceeded forward. ' Damn it, maybe if i cover my eyes...all of this is will all go away...'
"yeah, I'm guessing you're the fresh meat?" I never miss his eyes turned a darker shade of color as he turned to me with a sly grin appearing slowly on his lips. Another shiver, threatening to run through my body. " Rumors have it, your the legendary Maiko." Okay, now i have a reputation i didnt know existed.
As my eyes hid behind my bangs, I shook his hand…it was warm. ' Okay' i wanted to say ' three second rule'. trying to pull away he started to tighten the grip. I gasped as certain hand pushed me forward and I tumbled forward into Riku's arms. Snap. Turning I noticed Kairi holding a camera with a blissful expression on her face.
" Ohohoho" she laughed " Kawaiiiii, this will be interesting!" She said, spinning around and laughing like a maniac with stars in here eyes. This was going to be a long day, and I haven't even entered the school yard but I still managed to turn into a tomato. "Tidus will love this!!"
"Hey, Don't you dare tell that perverted friend of yours about what just happend!" I yelled " You, Tidus, and Selphie are sooo not going to ruin this for me like last time." my eyes narrowed at her, as she was in her own world.
Riku cleared his throat and I looked up at him. " you get spaced out really fast, especially when it comes to noticing what position you are in." he chuckled. At first I was confused, but then my face flamed as I found out the position I was in. I stumbled out of his arms, and straighten up with a huff.
"Look, his turning a different color!!" Kairi laughed, and snapping more pictures. " Awww, it's so cute!!" That's it, first priority is to strangle Kairi. Then hide her body in the bushes until i find a bay or trash can to dump it in.
" I'm not cute!" I yelled and pulled the camera out of her hands. Mercifully the bus showed up, and we boarded. Still giggling, Kairi sat down next to Selphie in the front row. I sat down and threw my bag next to me from preventing unnecessary visitors.
"Sora…" a soft whisper came from behind me. I looked back to see Riku only inches from my face. My brain shut down as I drowned in the deep blue depth of his eyes. Remembering to breath, I inhaled, and it made it worse as his scent of the cologne he wore in. "- And after wards, want to…do something?" Breaking from my daydreaming.
"wait...what?"
"A date. With me. After School?"
"Wha- with me?" My eyes widened from shock.
"Yeah, unless you don't want to-"
"No!" I yelled, the bus became quite as eyes stared at me for a short second, and continued their random gossiping. " it's not that, I just have to work afterward school…" the bills were piling up at home, so someone has to pay them. "Why don't we start as friends instead" i said, putting on a goofy grin.
Riku raised an eyebrow. " really, someone your age is working?" he said scanning his eyes over me " And did your parents let you?" Riku didn't miss the winced when he said the word ' parents'. His eyes soften " Sora, you okay?"
" Y-yeah, I'm okay!" I forced a smile and quickly changed the subject. " how about Saturday instead, that's when I'm free"
"Sure." Riku said still staring at me with a concern look. He sat back down, and crossed his arms over his chest. " But, i don't want start as friends just so you know, I'm very impatient" he winked.
I turned from him to sit back in my seat feeling the heat rising on my face. Snap. okay, who gave kairi back her camera.
"So cute!" I heard another girl, known as Selphie, giggled. Tidus, on the left side of the bus bursted out into laughter.
"Damn it, I'm-Not-Cute!!" I yelled. the hole bus irrupted into laughter,Including the bus driver. Riku, looking amused, still never took his eyes off me. 'take a picture it'll last longer' i thought.
Finally which seemed like hours, we reached the school. Jumping out, i noticed the same shadow from before was lurking in the darkness and stopped when it potted me. Only for a short second it stood straight up and vanished. i blinked and rubbed my eyes. 'what the hell was that-' my thoughts was interrupted with someone brushing their hand over my butt.
With a yelp, i turned around and glared at the molestor "Riku!" i yelled "Hands off, your just lucky my kung-fu is off, or else you will be getting a can of whoop-ass"
"it's not my fault your a magnet for Molesting" he grinned, and walked off into the crowd.
I sighed. This is going to be one of those days.
MadWorldz: 'I know it's kinda bad-'
Sora: 'Kinda?! Why the hell do we hook up so fast?!' cries and hide his shame.
MadWolrdz: 'Hey, I don't want to wait ten chapters, so deal
