In the Weirdest Places
Chapter III
Thank God for Anime!
Itzunori walked down the residential street that was Wandering Way. She was listening to May's thoughts, most of which consisted of 'how could they', 'why', and 'it's not fair'. Itzu could not think of anything to sooth her troubled friend. She sighed. If there was anything Itzu hated most, it was feeling helpless. At least they got out of there before something really bad happened. Itzu tossed that thought around to try to help May…and to lessen the feeling of being useless.
-Itzu…- May thought quietly, -can you put on my music?-
Itzunori nodded. She could hear the tears May wanted to let loose. Itzu reached into the front pocket of May's bag and pulled out the small mp3 player. It was really a 'trial' mp3 player, but it still served its purposes just fine. She placed the ear buds in their correct ear and turned on the music. The first song to play was Green Day. Coincidentally…the song was the exact feeling May was experiencing.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes,
But it's home to me and I walk alone
May chuckled grimly as the fist verse passed through her mind. It was exactly how she felt…but she wasn't alone. She had Itzu, which she was eternally grateful for. May closed her eyes and lifted her head. She smiled slightly as the words passed through her lips. Singing always made her feel better. This was no different.
When the song ended, May sighed. She felt better; a lot better. It truly was amazing how much a song, as emo as it is, can make someone's disposition so much better. Itzunori smiled. When she felt that May was in a somewhat better mood, she felt the helplessness dissipate.
-Hey Itzu, where're we going? - May even sounded better.
-You'll see when we get there…- Itzu responded with a smirk.
-Why do have to be so mean? I've had a rough day! I don't wanna guess. - May whined in return.
Itzu laughed –I realize your day was rough. That's why we're going where we're going.-
May whined again, but hid back in the shadows. Itzu crossed the busy road of 7 Mile when the walk light turned on. Sure it was mean of her not to fill May in, but surprises are much more fun. Itzu's chosen 'recoup' place for May was none other than May's sisters. Sure the three young women were not blood related, but they had quickly grown to love each other as sisters. Vieta and Alana were blood sisters, and May jumped in the picture when all she and Alana were in 8th grade and Vieta was in 7th. Five years have passed since then and May is always welcomed into their home.
When Itzu turned down the familiar street, May perked up instantly. She knew where Itzu was taking her and she wanted to hug her sisters as soon as they opened the door. She began to beg Itzu to return her body, but Itzu shook her head with a smile. May whined and cursed for Itzu to give up her hold on the body. Still Itzunori said no.
As Itzunori walked up the porch steps, the high pitched yipping of Ginger, a Pomeranian mix, started up with a vengeance. Itzunori laughed as the little fur ball barked at her through the window, while May's whining expanded into yelling and threatening. Itzunori ignored May's tirade and knocked on the door. When the door opened, 'Ginger shut up!' could be heard by two different voices. Itzunori was greeted by a young woman about 5 feet 2 inches with black hair and blue highlights.
"May!" She greeted as she flung the door opened.
"Hey, Vieta!" Itzu greeted with as much enthusiasm as the junior (11th grader).
Vieta stepped out of the way to let 'May' inside. Alana was sitting on the ottoman that was next to the large window in the living room. She had a book and notebook in her lap. She smiled when she saw May and waved.
"Hey, Alana. Doin' homework I see." Itzu said with a laugh.
Alana nodded, her short dirty blonde hair ruffling a little. She was bigger than Vieta, but that's because being only 5 feet tall, the extra weight had nowhere to go…except her breasts. Yes, Alana was a busty young woman, compared to her sisters.
"Why are you here? I seriously doubt your grandma would let you come here on a school night." Alana said with a dubious look on her face.
Vieta nodded in agreement as she sat down on the beige couch that was next to the ottoman. Itzunori sighed in frustration, from both the incident with May's family and May herself. May had yet to shut up and it was giving Itzunori a headache.
-May…please just shut up. You're giving me a headache.-
-Well good! Hopefully now you'll give me back my body! - May placed her hands across her chest, -Geez, these are the times I wonder what'd it'd be like if we had our own bodies! I wouldn't have to worry about falling asleep in class as much; I won't have an annoying little voice in my head going off on how they were right, and oh! Let's not forget about the most important thing, I would be in control of my-!—
May's thought was interrupted by an odd, tingling feeling and then a sharp pain in her butt. "Ow…." She whined while rubbing her bruised butt. May looked around her now lit surroundings to find that…her friends were now staring at her; like they had seen a ghost.
"Uh…what are you guys staring at?" she asked cautiously.
Vieta and Alana averted their gazes to May's right, and tilted their heads to the side a little. May followed their gaze. She gasped. Standing in front of her, was her! May quirked her head to the side and stood up.
"Why…am I looking at me?" she asked incredulously.
"M...May?" May's body asked, wide eyed and in shock, "Why are…?"
-Itzu! - May thought franticly –What's going on! Why is my body looking back at me!-
No voice that was not her own filled May's head, she began to go into full panic mode. Her heart began to beat faster, and she began to shake. Her mind was racing with everything combining to nothing made sense. This was nothing like May had ever experienced! She didn't know how to react!
"Calm down, May! Please! It's me!" May's body exclaimed.
"It…zu…?"
She nodded. May's arms slumped to her sides, and she fell to the ground on her butt, completely drained. She looked at her friend, that only she could hear. Except now, her two sisters could hear her. May glanced at Alana and Vieta, who wore faces of confusion and shock. May sighed.
"Guys, you've met her before, but not in person. This is Itzunori. The neko that I told you that lived in my head."
The two girls looked at May, and then at Itzunori. Vieta glanced back at May again, and pointed at her with a shaky hand,
"But…but how can she be a neko when…you're a neko?"
May stared at Vieta like she was stupid, "I'm not a neko. I'm human. She's the neko."
Itzunori sighed. It was amazing how quickly May can forget about her stresses and troubles so easily; even without the distraction of her friends.
"May, look in a mirror please." Itzu said through gritted teeth.
May blinked in question at Itzunori a few times before getting up and walking to the bathroom that was down the hall.
"……….KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
May burst into the living room with wide eyes and a heaving chest. She pointed to the fuzzy brown cat ears that now adorned her light brown covered head.
"I have…EARS! On top of my head! Like a cat! I'm not a cat! I have…why am...I--"
May stopped her blubbering because she felt something twitching on her butt. She turned slowly and gasped at what she saw.
"A TAIL? Why do I have a tail? I shouldn't…I…ah!" she shouted in frustration.
Having enough of May's little tirade, Itzunori slapped Mays shoulders, "May! Get a hold of yourself! I understand being in a body that is not your own…especially a demon's…is strange, but still, you don't need to carry on like you are!" May nodded and took a deep breath, "Now, if you haven't guessed already, you are in my body. I don't quite understand why you are, but the fact is that you are. Do you understand?" May nodded while uttering a sharp 'yep!', "Okay then, now that that is settled, we have to try and figure out how to get back to normal."
"Hold up!" Alana yelled, "Before you two do anything…you are going to tell me why you are here!"
May sighed loudly and sat on the couch that was next to the ottoman that Alana was on, "Fine…but it's a long story."
Itzunori sat on the floor in front of May as May began to tell the events of the last two hours since they have been out of school for the day.
After an hour of 'story telling' and a few subject changes and minor distractions, May finished her story. Alana and Vieta were staring at May in shock.
"Your family went through your room! Seriously!" Alana asked incredulously.
May sighed and nodded.
"Well, I think this situation calls for something to cheer you up, May! And I know just the thing!" Alana got up from her seat and walked down the hall to her room. May looked at Vieta with a questioning look, only to be met with a big smile. Alana returned and held something up for May to see. May didn't even need to read the title of the movie her sister had grabbed. The yellow and blue colors were enough to tell her that they were watching one of her favorite movies.
"Ohmigod, Alana I love you!" May exclaimed as she jumped from the couch and in front of the TV.
Alana laughed and tossed the DVD case to her younger sister, "Put that in while I get popcorn made."
Vieta nodded and pushed May aside with her butt as she put the DVD in, "You are so lucky you have sisters like us, May. Only we would stop to watch InuYasha with you in your time of need."
May snorted, "Other people would do it for me, Vieta…You two are the only one's that own it besides me."
Alana laughed in the kitchen, "True, true. But admit it, May, we are the only one's that you'd enjoy it with, too."
"Well duh! You two are the only ones that won't care if I say that Sesshomaru-sama is my Sexy Man-Beast."
Itzunori snorted from her seat on the couch, "You do know that if Sesshomaru was real he would kill you for saying that."
May only laughed, "Ah yes, Itzu-chan, true. But he's not!" Suddenly she gasped and smiled sweetly at Itzunori, "But if he is real….can I borrow your body if we ever come across him?"
"NO!" Itzu exclaimed, "…Why would you want to anyway?"
"Well because…he wouldn't think of mating with a human so…" May spoke quietly while blushing slightly.
"NO! You will never use my body for such a vile thing!" Itzunori exclaimed snottily.
Alana walked into the living room with a large bowl full of popcorn. She joined her two sisters who were already seated in front of the TV. "How come you sound so snotty about it, Itzu?"
"Because, genius, I do not want my body defiled by that arrogant inu!"
Vieta smiled coyly, "You're blushing Itzu-chan. Are you sure you just don't want to share?"
Itzunori gasped and blushed furiously, but before she could respond, May beat her to it.
"Even if you do, you can't have him. I never went to preschool so I never learned how to share!"
"Ah, but May, I called dibs on Sesshomaru-sama, too," Vieta said, "And not just me. Many other girls…and guys…did, too."
"Well…in my world….Sesshomaru is mine. That means you'll have to pick someone else. Try Koga or something. I'm sure he's worth a shot," May responded with a shrug.
"Alright guys, shut up. The movie's starting," Alana said as she ate some popcorn.
"Hey wait!" Itzunori shouted, "May! We have to find a way to get us back together, before Mom get's home!"
"Shh!" All three girls said in unison, "After movie!"
Itzunori sighed in defeat and sat down. She couldn't understand how May could shove all her attention aside for a movie she can watch at anytime….Well, actually…she can. May was, literally, one of a kind. As open as the 17-year-old is, there are things that May keeps to herself. Itzunori is the only person who knows all of May's secrets and thoughts and desires. Itzunori sighed again and laid down on the couch. Might at well take a nap without any of May's crazy and messed up dreams for once.
