AN: Wow. I haven't written something for the PoT fandom in.....forever. Okay, half a year. I thought I'd write something dealing with MJ since he, well, kicked the bucket a couple of days ago. Feel free to critique and tell me where my characterizations are off.
Deticated to: Michael Jackson. May he rest in peace (no matter how creepy he is)
All was fine in Kanagawa. There were bird; there were bees; there was even a grandmother doing cartwheels in her front yard. Yes, all was normal…..
Until, Kirihara crashed into the tennis club room at Rikkaidai Middle School.
"Jackal-senpai! You won't believe what I just bought from Niou," Kirihara bounced off the walls. "I have tickets to see Michael Jackson in concert in England! Niou even sold me the plane tickets too! I get to see the King of Pop in concert!"
Hiding behind his fake enthusiasm, Jackal's mind raced to come up with a way to cushion the blow he was about to give Kirihara. It would break the second year's heart, but someone needed to tell him the truth. The truth, that, he had just been cheated out of hundreds of dollars.
"Michael Jackson died." As blunt and clueless as ever, Sanada came to Jackal's rescue.
Ceasing to hop, Kirihara stared back at his fukubuchou in shock. "Michael….what?"
"He died. He kicked the bucket. He croaked. He's swimming with the fishes. He pushed daises." Sanada said listing off several expressions.
"But, the tickets?"
"Aren't worth anything."
Watching Kirihara lose his enthusiasm nearly broke Jackal's heart. The poor kid didn't deserve to have been so harshly told.
'Sometimes,' Jackal thought,' Sanada-fukubuchou is just too careless.'
