It turned out that the only empty seats were next to Kanda, and the human was almost glaring at me as if he was daring me to sit next to him. He doesn't seem to like me for some reason. It doesn't matter to me, it's not like I could find somewhere else to sit nor did I think he would actually do something at school. Besides, Cross had a much more scary glare, though I think the reason is that I know that he will do something against me. I sat to the right of the human, causing everyone to look at me in admiration. "He could have gotten into one of the seats behind Kanda or in front of Kanda."
"Yeah, then he wouldn't be able to see Kanda glaring at him."
"Why'd he choose the only seat next to Kanda?" The whispering was really irritable, both the humans and the animals were whispering to each other. They seemed to not think anything of the fact that I could most definitely hear them. I looked at Kanda out of the corner of my eye and saw something… unusual in his eyes. It didn't seem as though it would happen often with how cold he acted but was that… amusement in his eyes? It didn't seem as though he was amused by the whispers… rather, it seemed he was amused by me. But what did I do to amuse him? It doesn't make sense to me, whatsoever. What did I do that would amuse anyone? I shifted in my seat for a more comfortable spot and noticed how Kanda's lips upturned slightly. Almost as if he was smiling.
"Everyone, listen up. Mr. Mikk isn't able to get here for this hour, something personal happened, so he told me to have you read to page forty eight by tomorrow." It seemed that coming in the middle of the school year had less ups than actual downs to the situation. I turned to the human to see that he had gotten a book out but it didn't seem like any book that the school would assign you, more like something you'd either get at the public library or online, I would assume from the blood on the cover and the… gruesome sounding title. Along with the fact that, on the pages, it was written in Japanese and he was going from right to left rather than the American left to right. I looked across the page and picked out certain kanji that looked familiar but, other than that, I had no clue what it said.
"Excuse me, but do you have the book for this class with you?" I tried my best to sound friendly but I don't think this guy would ever consider thinking of me as a friend. He seemed to have an automatic hate for me for no reason. That thought was justified when he turned and glared at me before tossing the book that he grabbed out of his bag onto the desk in front of me with an echoing slam. I flinched at the sound so close to my ear, rubbing it slightly as I frowned in his direction. "That was slightly uncalled for."
"Whatever, Moyashi." I scowled. I didn't know what 'Moyashi' meant but it sounded like an insult. Maybe I should look it up later on? No, better to ask the source rather than the internet that I don't have.
"What does Moyashi mean anyways?" Kanda smirked and I decided that I really didn't like humans. Especially not the one in front of me. Apparently, I would be going to the library to look it up tonight before I went home, which reminded me. Cross was going to be there until next week, something about stocking up on money or something like that, before he'd be going off to the Caribbean. A week until I'm free of the damned red lion. Man am I glad I'm not a feline, Cross would make my life more of a hell than it is now since I'm a guy. I kinda wish I was a wolf, even if all the intelligent ones were all extinct. Aside from that, I realized I had read to the page I was supposed to… yet I didn't retain any of the words inside of it. Oh well, I can just ask the Japanese if I can borrow it for the night. The bell rang and I turned to the human only to see him standing up and walking away. I guess that means that I can borrow it. I shrugged and put the book in my bag, tossing it onto my shoulder before heading to sixth hour. The rest of the day passed uneventfully, causing me to be rather happy that school was over and I could go to the library to look that word from before up. As I walked down the street, I noticed that a lot of the animals that I saw were solitary animals. It made sense since it was a small town, which was favored by animals that didn't form large groups, but usually you saw some of the small group animals, the ones that had a group of animals/friends that were the same species as you that you would always be around. I know Cross was one but his 'Pride' was mostly made of females that he would flirt with and take to places around the world then 'forget' them there and go after another female. The stupid horny lion didn't realize that he was gaining enemies as he did this crap.
I walked through the doors to the library and… was there really this many books in a small town for no reason? I walked through, noticing an old man sitting behind the counter with a panda spirit animal behind him, and finally found the… outdated computers. I decided against using those and instead went over to the panda to ask him my question. "Sir, could you tell me what a Japanese word means please?"
He looked up at me, his wise old eyes looking straight into my own gray ones and he stared at me for a bit. "You have the mark."
"The… what?" I was confused, the only things I had that could count as a 'marking' would be the scar over my eye and the burnt arm at my side that I didn't use unless necessary.
"The mark, the one that allows you to see spirit animals of others. How'd you get it?" Oh, he was talking about the scar.
I smiled awkwardly, "It's a long story I don't feel comfortable to tell." He seemed slightly disappointed that he hadn't been able to get this story but he accepted it without question.
"What was this Japanese word you were going to ask about?"
"It's Moy – "
"Moyashi!" The cheerful Lab jumped at me from the side and hugged me, rubbing his face against my cheek with a happy smile. "You're here! I was wondering where you went after school, so you came here huh?" He seemed rather content to be attached to me the way he was, almost as if he didn't want to touch the ground. I had to hold onto the counter in front of me while I noticed the panda was getting annoyed.
"Yeah, that word." I stated drily as I gave Lavi a blank look before I realized that he called me Moyashi as well. "Why did you call me that? What does it mean?"
"Well, cause Yuu called you Moyashi. Plus, it fits you!" He finally let go of me, standing a few steps away with a smile on his face. "It means 'beansprout'." I blinked a few times before pouting. I'm not that short! I am average sized, possibly a little larger, for my species. "Which reminds me, what is your animal?" I shifted slightly, an awkward silence settling over us as I was stared at.
"It's… rather embarrassing for me on what animal I am." I said, avoiding the question while still answering it. It really did embarrass me; I didn't act at all like it so no one could ever guess what animal I was. "So I'd rather not answer that question."
"Aw, come on Moyashi. You know what animals we are, so what's yours?" A phone rang and it just so happened to be Lavi's, saving me from the question. "Hello? Lenalee! Where'd you go?" That was all I caught of that conversation before I snuck away from the two. I walked the long way home, not much caring how I suddenly came to be in the forest that surrounded half the town. I love forests, they were so calming, but the noises a few yards ahead and to the left caused me to pause. It sounded like a dog fight. I went in that direction when I heard a high pitched whine and the noises stopped, animal footsteps going in the opposite direction. When I found the scene of the fight, I was shocked. Not because of the blood, not even because of the species I had found. No, it was the pure beauty of the wolf that I had found that caused me quite a bit of shock. The beautiful raven fur looked well taken care of and the eyes that were closing were a brilliant shade of blue. I couldn't help but pause as soon as I saw it to take in its beauty before I realized that it was, indeed, bleeding a large amount. I wouldn't be able to carry the wolf out of the forest and into the town in the condition it is now; I most definitely wouldn't be able to do it in my animal form. I had no bandages on me, so I guess I would have to sacrifice my white shirt. I quickly took the shirt off and tore it in half. I wrapped one of the halves around the long gash in the front leg and tied it tight enough to slow the bleeding down and the other half was torn a couple more times so I could wrap it around the midsection to slow the bleeding down there. After that was done, I lifted the wolf into my arms slowly, struggling slightly under the massive dead weight. How was it that such a canine could weigh so much? I walked as quickly as possible without jostling the wolf too much, though I did get a bite to my arm when I had to jump down from a rock. I walked through less used streets to get to the apartment Cross had bought, the wolf still attached to my arm with his teeth. My arm was feeling pretty numb now; I'm actually surprised I haven't dropped the wolf yet. I struggled to unlock the door, finally succeeding and setting the wolf on the ground gently. He let go of my arm once he seemed to realize he was on the ground again and I closed the front door before going to the medicine closet to get bandages. Lord knows I don't have the money to go to a vet for this, Cross would yell at me for spending money on a dog that wasn't mine. I ran my hand through my hair, looking down at the wolf.
Yeah, this was going to be quite an issue.
…
I don't think this many people have liked one of my stories… this quickly… is it cause it's Yullen? Or because it's animals turned humans? Please tell me, I'm at a loss of what I haven't been doing right all this time for people to like me… Did I get Allen's inner thoughts very good? I wouldn't know; I'm only at the beginning of season 2, on episode 3 of that… which would mean maybe episode 30? I don't know, I'd have to look it up and I don't have the desire to do that… Please tell me what I'm doing right here, I'm at a loss… ^.^' While you're at it, a request maybe? Pretty please? I don't have any ideas aside from what I get from manga I read but, currently, I'm into yaoi anime and I don't think I'm gonna get any ideas from that… -.-'
Desperate, still
