SouloftheButterfly: Flying on my wings by myself for the first time…hope you like it…
Disclaimer: I do not own SC, their characters, story plans, or anything that has to do with Soul Calibur that is standard. But I do own everything else, including settings (not any of the real places in England, Japan, or anywhere real on the globe) and my own characters. In simpler words, I own what I own and I'll tell you what they are if you seriously want to know. Don't chase me with lawsuits; I'm a simple girl who likes writing fanficts, is there a problem with that? Not trying to sound mean or anything. I just want this to be a good start.
First Taste of Freedom
Terri-Saki Secondary School, Saga, Japan
Dring!!!
The bell signalling the end of the school year rang and there were cheers all over the school. No one could wait for summer break. No one, but I.
"Hey Yukira!" a voice shouted amongst the loud cries of joy.
I turned to see my best friend Talim, along with my other friend Cassandra.
I smiled at them. "I'll catch you later! I have something to do right now."
Cassandra nodded and they disappeared into the crowd.
I sighed. Why did my life have to be so complicated? I thought to myself. I was probably the only one in this country that didn't like weekends, especially Sundays. Sundays were the days my father, Maxi, got off from work. Not that I didn't like him. He's awesome, usually takes my side in fights against my brother, Yun-seong (a.k.a. Commando Retardo), and he's nice, but sometimes, I catch him looking, if you know what I mean (I'm a girl, in case you're such a dumb ass that you couldn't figure that out yet – who names a guy Yukira?).
My mom, Ivy – well, let's just say that she has two sides to her. A nice side to visitors and a wolf side to me. I think she sides with Yun-seong too much. She rarely lets me do anything a normal person my age could do.
School – people are okay with me. Most of them don't excessively hate me or like me. I'm a straight-A student with the exception of P.E. I suck. The first time I ever got a C+ was in that subject, and I don't want that grade again.
I walk to my locker, only to find that the janitor cart was against it. Again. It's happened, like, 5 times before. I shoved it away and opened my locker, stuffing everything from there into my bag.
Slamming it shut, I turn around and down the corridor towards the front door. But no, there had to be an obstacle. Volthani, a.k.a. Fat Ass. He was a perverted person. A very perverted person. I remember back to early February, when he practised raping techniques on me, like getting people self-conscious, and stuff. Brrr. I still get shivers.
"Get out of my way, perv," I yelled at him.
"Hi Yukira!" he sang.
Shit, I thought, not again.
"Hi Volthani!" he yelled, pretending to me.
"Well, at least I'm not wearing short shirts!" he replied to himself. His buddies laughed.
That's like, the 14th time he has said that to me, I counted.
"And that's the last!" a voice shouted. A foot soared through the air and connected perfectly with Volthani's head. "That will be the last time you say something like that to my friend!" Talim said. "Unless you want another kick. No, I won't give you a kick," She said, pretending to pity Fat Ass. "I'll give you a SACK!" she said menacingly, hatred in her eyes.
"I'm telling Principal Havelli!" Valthani threatened.
"School's out, so we won't be in trouble. Whatever we do is not any of the teachers' or principals' fault anymore, so they won't listen to you," Cassandra said matter-of-factly.
"Come on Yuki," Talim called out to me. "Let's leave them alone. They're too stupid for us to practise on anyways."
"True," I responded and followed them out.
Ah, karate class – one of my only pleasures left. I trained in the same class as my friends did. That's where Talim learned her superior kick that, hopefully, will leave a mark.
"Are you going to your summer house again, this year?" Cassandra asked. I nodded.
"Could we come this year?" Talim asked.
"It would be awesome, since my mom doesn't yell at me as much when you guys are here. But I don't think so," I said with a sigh.
"Well, can we at least come to your house today?" Talim asked, though she already knew the answer.
"I would guess no," I told her.
"That would mean we'll just drop you off. As always," Cassandra sighed.
"Your family's sooo no fun!" Talim exclaimed.
"Right yet again," I mumbled.
When we reached my house, the girls waited until I was on the other side of the gate before waving bye.
"Hopefully we'll be able to go to your house once or twice, before you go to your summer house," Talim said.
"Otherwise, call!" Cassandra added.
"Will do," I promised and went in.
Suddenly, I felt an urge to ask my mom if Cassandra and Talim could go to the summer house. I just didn't care if she yelled at me this time.
"Mom, can Cassandra and Talim come with us to the summer house this year?" I asked pleadingly.
"Why not?" she sighed. "Since you're not going to be here next summer after your graduation. We're moving to London."
"What!?!" I asked, horrified. I couldn't bear to not be in the same school as my friends, let alone the same country!
"Then…can they come over right now?" I wondered aloud since it felt like I had the advantage here.
"If you want to…" Mom started, chopping carrots through the whole conversation. But she didn't get to finish since I'd already rushed outside.
"Tal! Cass! Get your – um – selves back here now. You can come!" I yelled. People looked at me. Lucky I didn't say "frickin' self", "ass" or "butt" aloud. They would've hated me then, even if they didn't before (they're a bunch of old people). Most of them call me 'disrespectful female' anyways. I don't give a damn anymore – I'm not going to even be here in a year, so why bother.
Talim and Cassandra got over in record time: 3.97 seconds.
"We're allowed to go to your summer house?" Cassandra huffed.
"Yeah, and you can come over right now!" I said happily.
"Sweet!" Talim called out.
We rushed in to plan what we'll do at the beach house. This was going to be the best (but last) summer I'll ever have!
