"Ibuki Mioda." I said as said person jumped onto my back while I was sitting in my desk, with my head down on said desk. "You are the first person that I'm suppose to become "friends" with?" I asked as I sat up, with her wrapping her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.
"You know it!" She said with a grin as I looked over my shoulder at her. "And I have the number one thing to help us become BFF'S!?" She yelled, with everyone looking at us. "HO-"
"Not here." I said, placing a hand on her head, gaining her attention. Standing up, she followed with me as she still held on, grinning.
"Hells ya!" She said, pumping her fist. "Onward, you will be my feet and Ibuki will be your eyes!?" She said, covering my eyes as I started walking away, not knowing where I was going.
Later that day, not night, DAY
"So, ready for the movie?" I asked as we walked up to the movie theater, not understanding why we came at this time of day.
"Hells ya, the theme is 'scary movies' so Ibuki picked one she hasn't seen!" Ibuki said as she walked over to the counter. "Two for 'Paranormal Activity'!?" She nearly yelled, with the person sliding two tickets, confusing her. "When did it become free?" She asked, not understanding.
"I stopped a robbery here a few weeks ago, free tickets for life." I admitted as I took the tickets and gave the guy a two finger salute as we walked in.
"That is hella cool." Ibuki said as we made our way to the counter, got some popcorn and drinks before making our way to the seats.
"Would you like a blanket to hide under?" I offered, shocking her as I pulled a blanket out from under my coat.
"That would be great, though Ibuki usually just close her eyes when the creepy music starts." She said, with me nodding as we took a seat, with her on the outside as the place was crowded.
The blanket was tasseled, and I handed it to her, with her throwing it around her, wrapping it over her shoulders and chest. She looked adorable as all that could be see was her face and hair, her eyes quivering even before the movie started.
"Ibuki was glad to be close to you, she gets scared quite easily." She said, with me throwing my arms over the back of the chairs and crossing my legs. During the beginning, things had felt almost normal. Almost. I couldn't help but notice the way she had her eyes on me sometimes, as if she was concealing something she didn't want me to see. I tensed at odd moments like when we had touched hands while eating popcorn. I didn't want to think about what it meant so I just focused on the screen.
I watched Ibuki out of the corner of my eye as the movie played. Her eyes were glued to the television and as the shaky camera movement began, she held the edge of the blanket beneath her chin, ready to cover her face. During a scene where the subjects of the movie lay in bed while their bedroom door moved of its own accord, her hand darted out and grabbed my knee as if reassuring herself that I was there and solid. The feel of her small warm palm through the fabric of my jeans felt strange at first, but then became normal.
Each time the couple on the screen slipped into bed she readied the blanket to shield herself. Unfortunately, there was no scary music to warn her and when things began to go bump in the night, she was caught unaware and grabbed automatically for the safety of the warm body next to her, me as she sat on the outside.
I jumped at her touch, or not prepared for the sudden grab. "Are you cold? Do you want some of the blanket?" She offered, not waiting for an answer before she lifted the arm up and scooted closer, draping the blanket over my lap as she tucked up into the crook of his arm, throwing her legs up into the chair. Looking at her for a moment, I wrapped my arm over her, pulling her closer as she became at ease.
I tried to focus on the screen, ignoring the terrifically bad acting. In this new position I felt every tiny shiver and startle of her body and when, at the next scary scene, she buried her face in my shirt. "Oh god, Peko and Ryota are here!?" She yelled, with everyone shushing us.
The next hour was pure torture, due in-part to the horribly poor excuse for cinema Ibuki had chosen and in-part to my body's seemingly uncontrollable reaction to Ibuki's close intimate proximity. As the film finally drew to a close she sat up, her eyes glancing furtively around the room into each shadow.
"You okay?" I asked as I stood up as the lights came on.
"It's stupid, Ibuki wasn't scared, she only got closer to you because she didn't want you to get scared!?" She laughed, with me looking at Peko walking away, but I couldn't see Ryota.
"Sure, lets go to where I want to go this time." I offered, with her nodding like crazy as she followed me.
"I bet its something silly. I'm a grown woman, I'll be completely fine!?" She said as she held her nose up high, and I realized she was trying to reassure herself. "But I mean… if it's not too much trouble, could I jump on your back again?" She asked, with me nodding a quick nod and her doing just that, with the blanket wrapped over us.
"No problem at all." I said. "And you have my personal guarantee that this next area is not silly." I said as we passed the counter, where we saw Ryota and Peko there, with Ryota getting a LOT or candy.
Later, hopes peak academy dark side of the school
"A-A-A-A-A-A h-haunted house!?" Ibuki yelled as she stood next to me, holding my arm for dear life.
"Scared?" I asked, with her shacking her head at me. "Then you wouldn't mind if we split up then?" I asked as I started walking away, only for her grip to get stronger.
"NO!?" She yelled, with me looking at her with a dull look. "Um...were suppose to become-"
"Fine, then follow me." I said, interrupting her as I started leading us into the entrance of the ultimate haunted house maker's haunted house. Not even ten feet into the haunted house, one of the paintings opens up and a person in all leather slashes at us with its arm. I just stood there as I saw it coming, Ibuki on the other hand fell to the ground with a yelp, almost pulling me to the ground. "You ok?" I asked as I looked down at her, with her pulling her self up with a brave face.
"No sweat, Ibuki just tripped on her own shadow!?" She said, with me looking at her wired. "We got this, we got this!" She said, with me rolling my eyes as we continued on. As we continued on, we reached what looked like a burned down room with two beds. "Looks good, looks good." She said, with me looking at her as we passed the beds and turned the corner, only for a burned person to reach out to us from the wall like the man in leather from the previous room. "GO IN, GO IN!?" She yelled, pointing at the man, with him doing so. "See, Ibuki's got this!?" She said, only for the wall to open up behind her and a women who looked burned grabbed her shoulders, with Ibuki ducking then running a little, with me holding her back, screaming all the way.
After calming her down, we entered what looked like a bathroom. A man in a pigs head then sung the curtain of the shower open and tried attacking us, but Ibuki yelled and hugged onto my arm as I turned her away from the attack. Ducking under his swings, we continued on, with me laughing at Ibuki as she was freaking out.
Entering the next room, we came up to a giant clowns mouth that we entered. Not even two feet in a monkey jumped down screaming with two knives. Ibuki covered her ears as I held her shoulder, before she covered her mouth as the monkey climbed back up to the top. "Ibuki's legs are shacking!?" She screamed, making me laugh even more.
Exiting that part, we came up to a bed, where this thing popped out of it, reaching for us as it gave an inhuman scream. 'Get back in bed.' I thought as I rolled my eyes as Ibuki held onto my arm tighter. Walking out of the room and down a hall way, all we saw were doors. "Someone's going to pop out, so it shouldn't be scary." I assured her, with her nodding rapidly, but she didn't expect it to be one of the doors behind her, where he touched her back, making her jump. Turning around, it was the same man with the leather, making her scream. "Told you." I said as I dragged her away.
Entering the next room, we saw a doctor cutting someone open. When he turned to us, he picked up a chain saw and approached us, with Ibuki getting behind me. "NO!?" She yelled, with me looking behind me to see her exiting the room. Grabbing her arm, I pulled her back into the room. "Its loud, its loud!?" She yelled, covering her ears, where I wrapped my arm over her shoulders and continued on. Once we made it through the room, a thing jumped out of the wall at us, with Ibuki running back into the previous room screaming. Turning back, I walked into the room to see her cowering in a corner, where I then walked up to her and helped her up, where I dragged her away. "To loud, to loud!?" She said, shacking all over.
"I need you to work with me here." I told Ibuki, who looked up at me. "You abandoned me, and I don't like that." I said, with her glaring at me.
"You ran away!?" She yelled, with me looking at her.
"No, you ran away, I'm suppose to protect you." I said, with her blushing. "Now come on, we have to get through this." I said, with her nodding as we walked down a hall and rounded the next corner.
The room looked like we were outside, but at night. A clown ran out with scissors, where Ibuki hugged me tighter. "One time, one time!?" She yelled, with the clown waving at us as it backed away. Looking to the side, a big fat lady ran up to us with an ax. "Your big, your big!?" Ibuki yelled, with me laughing at her as the lady backed away, only for a little guy with a chainsaw to run up to us. "He's tiny, he's tiny!?" She yelled as she jumped onto my back, making me laugh even more.
Exiting the woods, we came up to a room that had a baby bed in it. From the celling fell a women who looked like she had her stomach cut open and started reaching for us, where I then moved to the side to get away from her. Hearing Ibuki scream, I turned around and saw arms reaching for us, where even I jumped back at that as I didn't see them. Walking out of the room, we now stood in a classroom where only one person stood, looking at us. "So, did you like it?" She asked, with me nodding.
"Got me at the end, wasn't prepared for the arms." I said, with her smiling. "Ibuki, its over." I said, with her shacking her head.
"No, no! Ibuki staying on your back, Ibuki staying on your back!" She said, with me shrugging.
"Yuki, this is Ibuki, a classmate of mine, were suppose to get to know everyone in our class and make "friends." I said as I grabbed Ibuki's legs and held her up so she wasn't hanging off me.
"I hate you blackflashingfox1, Ibuki will make a memo to get you back." Ibuki said, with us looking at her like she was crazy.
"Whos blackflashingfox1?" We asked, but were ignored.
"Anyways, I'll be sure to get you through the entire haunted house next time." Yuki said as she jumped down from behind the podium, reviling she was really really small, like 4ft tall. "Until next time." She said, opening the door for us as she walked over to it. "Leave, I have much to plan." She said as I started walking out.
Later, outside
"Hey, Ibuki?" I asked, gaining her attention, as she still sat on my back. "If you ever find the eight leafed clover, you'll get eternal luck." I said, with her eyes widening. "Not only that, but you'll be able to do anything. The four leafed clover only gives you good luck for a limited amount of time, but the eight leafed clover is for a life time." I said, with her grinning.
"Ibuki wants to stop here!" She said, with me looking at her strangely. I nodded and sat her down, where she fell and landed in the grass, with me doing the same. She placed her hands on her stomach, while I placed mine behind my head. "Ibuki had fun today, she was only pretending to be scared so she could get on your back and feel like she was queen of the castle!" She said, with me rolling my eyes at her.
"Ya, lets go with that." I said, before we watched the sun go down, and the stars appear.
"Ibuki likes looking up at the stars, she doesn't know why." She said, with me nodding. "Ibuki thinks we became more than friends." She said, with me looking at her. "She thinks we became band mates!" She said, giving me a thumbs us.
"Sure." I said, reaching my hand out and giving her a thumbs up as out fist touched. "Band mates." I said, with her grinning even more.
"Ibuki doesn't know how to get home, want to run with her to find it?" She asked, with me laughing at her.
"That's actually funny."
"Not a joke."
