Hello my readers! I'm sorry I haven't updated for Falling The Right Way, the plot bunny ran away/got kidnapped. So while I'm hunting it down, here's something I've been working on. Enjoy!
"Hmmm... Now where is my room and in what dorm?" A girl with waist length black hair and emerald eyes looked around the bustling boarding school, Sengoku High.
Sengoku High was a boarding high school that was for both girls and boys. It was in Osaka and people from all walks of life came here. From fighters to bookworms, it was certainly an interesting place to be at the very least. At least those were the rumours.
"I need to find my room... Okay. I am D2 and according to the map..." She pointed in a direction. "It is thatta way!" She started walking down the corridors but it wasn't long before she got lost again. "Oh where am I?" She started to sob. "If Moto-kun was here then..." She ran into something hard and fell on her behind.
"Oh kami! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" A very tall boy was towering over her. He had a massive brown ponytail that went down to his waste and a fringe that hung over his eyes. He had a flower in his hair and a monkey of all things on his shoulder. He had a brown T-shirt on and black baggy jeans. His eyes were brown and contained a certain warmth to them that made the girl feel safe. He reached out a hand and she took it.
"Sorry again. I didn't see you there." He grinned sheepishly.
"No problem." She smiled.
"I'm Maeda. Maeda Keiji but you can just call me Keiji yeah?" He was about to say something else when his monkey started screeching, causing a few stares'n'glares. "Oh right! How could I forget! This." He pointed to the monkey. "Is Yumekichi, my best friend."
"Pleasure to meet you Keiji-kun and Yumekichi. I'm Minamoto Hikari. You can just call me Hikari yeah?" She laughed mimicking Keiji.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Hikari-chan." Keiji mimicking her this time. "Hey let's get outta the hallway and sort ourselves out."
Hikari nodded and they walked outside to the courtyard and sat on a bench.
"So what dorm are you in Hikari-chan?"
"D2. How about you?"
"Haha no way! I'm in D3!" Keiji beamed.
"Wow! That's great!" Hikari beamed back but then had a confused look on her face. "Shouldn't the girl and boy dorms be separate?"
Keiji laughed at her confused face. "Don't you know? All the dorms here are unisex." Keiji tried bravely and valiantly to contain his laughter when he saw his new found friend's face. "Oh, well." He tried to keep a serious face.
"..."
"..."
They stared each other down. Keiji cracked first bursting out in laughter. She started pouting at his antics and whined.
"How come they didn't tell me? I could be in the room with a perverted boy for all they know!" She crossed her arms and huffed. "Well nothing to do about it now, I just have to go with the flow."
Keiji clapped her on the back. "That's the spirit! Besides you still might get a girl and..." He put on a murderous face. "If a guy tries any funny business, just come to your Anik!" He left another silence. "I'll sort him out real good." He went back to his normal grin. "So just come and tell me yeah?"
"Um... Thanks Keiji-kun. But can I ask you something?"
"Shoot."
"Why would you do that for me? We just met." She blinked and looked up at the boy.
"Well you see..." Keiji looked sad. "I don't make friends that easily and when I do, the parents don't approve of my..." He paused for thought. "Free-willed nature. So when I met you, I thought that it was time to change that. A bit of a lame excuse but if you're my friend then I'm willing to do anything to keep it that way." A blush crept up on his face. "I know we've only just met and all..."
He seemed a bit deflated.
Hikari then thought of a plan that would be sure to cheer Keiji up.
"Hey I just met you, and this is crazy,"
"Hikari-chan?"
"So here's my number,"
"Keiji joined in.
"So call me maybe!" They both cracked up laughing.
"C'mon Hikari-chan. Lets go see who's in our dorm!"
"Of course!"
They both had another psychic moment and linked arms. They started skipping and singing 'We're Off to See the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz!'
The question on everyone's mind who saw them was...
How in the world did their bags not drag them down?!
When they had run out of songs to sing they just walked normally to their dorm. Well as normal as ere they could anyway. When they finally found their dormitory, they almost collapsed.
"Hey where is everyone else?" The dorm was way too quiet.
"I'm used to being late but early? This is new for me." Keiji quipped.
"Hello!" Hikari called out.
No one replied.
Keiji gave a sigh. "Well lets just get our stuff in our dorms, claim the best bed/desk, leave them a little surprise..." Keiji's eyes glazed over as he talked about his surprise.
"Haha. Okay see ya soon Keiji-kun." Hikari waved and walked towards her room.
"Yeah better get going, seeya Hikari-chan!" Keiji called out before walking into his own room.
Keiji walked into his room. As he expected it wasn't the Imperial Palace. Or it's hotel. Keiji chuckled at his own joke as he inspected the beds. There were three beds. So I'm gonna have two other roommates. I hope they're nice... Keiji scratched that last thought. I need to be manly. I hope they're really hot girls. It still didn't seem him. Keiji decided to stop his pointless self conflict and pick out the bed that would be the most comfortable. It was no contest really. There was a bunk and a single. As much as Keiji would love to take the top bunk for the sheer joy of bragging about it, he chose the single bed, near the window. I might be able to climb out from here. Yumekichi popped out from his shirt.
"Hey you like this bed Yumekichi?" Keiji stroked the white monkey's forehead.
He squeaked happily at his new home.
"Ha, I'm glad you like it. This will be perfect if my roommates are good."
Just then he heard people outside.
Hikari walked into her room, not feeling this happy for a long time. She breathed in the air with a contented sigh. She was actually glad that she was there before everyone else. It was a chance to get settled and claim her territory if necessary. You never know... She looked around and like Keiji had done, inspected the beds. They really are alike, aren't they? There were two sets of bunk beds. Well that decision was easy. She plonked her stuff in front of the ladder of her chosen bed and climbed into the bed. Mmmmm... top bunk... It was so comfy. She had chosen the right bed. It was right near the window too. Maybe she'd be able to visit Keiji from that way. She smiled at the look his face would have from the fright. Did she have a crush on Keiji? No, she didn't blush when she thought of him and besides, they had known each other about an hour. She jumped from down from the bed and opened the window. Ahhh that's nice. The breeze was cool on her skin. She opened a bag and took out a hairbrush, hair dryer and straightener. She wasn't a girly girl, she just liked to make good first impressions. She looked at her clothes. They were very her. Right now she was wearing a black long sleeved midriffed top, denim shorts and brown boots. She had a locket around her neck and had a white headband. She liked her clothes, she had made most of them herself. She was admiring her handywork in the mirror when she heard arguing. I guess our roommates are here.
She went out to greet them.
A ginger headed girl huffed as she walked into her dorm. If only a certain someone hadn't told her that she knew a shortcut. She sighed and looked at her brunette friend. She was as happy-go-lucky as ever. In a way, she envied her nature and in another, she wanted to strangle some cynicism into her.
"Hey Magoichi, what room are we again?" The doe eyed girl looked up in expectancy.
"I told you a million times Tsuruhime, it's D2." Magoichi rolled her msity blue eyes.
"Humph, don't blame me for being in a bad mood."
"The reason I'm in a bad mood is because of your shortcuts." Magoichi retorted.
Tsuruhime pouted. "I really thought that it was the right way! It's our first day! Give me a break Mago!" Tsuruhime whined.
"Yeah, yeah whatever. Just be glad you're my best friend." She patted her head in affection.
"Hm, is this it Mago?" Tsuruhime stopped and pointed to the door that Hikari had entered before.
"Yep. This is D2." Said Magoichi, checking her keys. "Welcome to our new home Tsuruhime!"
"Ooh!" Tsuruhime was practically jumping up and down in excitement. "Do you think we got here first that way we could get the best beds and maybe play a prank on the rest of our roomies!"
"Sorry but the best bed is mine and be thankful I'm a nice person, otherwise I would've done something real nasty." Green eyes popped out of the doorway, along with a mass of black hair and a huge grin.
"So are you our new roommate?" Magoichi asked.
"Yep I sure am!"
Tsuruhime started squealing. "Ooh! This is gonna be great! First Mago's in my room and now another girl! It's too good to be true!"
Hikari pointed to Magoichi. So you're Mago." She stated.
"Saica. Saica Magoichi. And this is-"Magoichi was cut off.
"I'm Tsuruhime, a pleasure to meet you..." She stopped mid sentence. "What is your name?"
Hikari chuckled. "I'm Minamoto Hikari. Just call me Hikari yeah?" She chuckled again remembering Keiji's line.
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance Hikari-chan." Tsuruhime said, polite as ever.
"Yeah same from me Hikari-chan." Magoichi dipped her head just a touch. "Are we the only ones here?"
"Well yeah. Apart from..."
"Well hello there!" Keiji's voice boomed.
"Him." Hikari rolled her eyes.
