~Next day, first day of school~
There is always an assembly on the first day of school. The principal talks welcomes everybody blah, blah, blah. After a while he finishes talking and all. I'm behind him half asleep, I'm might be drooling some. Masato next to me somehow awake. Koko is in her full demon form around my neck.
Koko wakes me up and gets me up. Sighing I push off the chair and head for the podium. The younger peoples left with the principal. So basically 13 and up is left.
"Do I have ta do this?" I mumbled to Koko.
"Yes, you do. Now talk."
"Fine." I grumbled. I'm up there with my red and orange stripped jacket with a dark blue shirt underneath with jeans on of course. Shoe choice are my brown soft leather flip flops. "Hey, I'm your alpha. Aiko Inuzuka. My second in command is Masato Rekochi." I said rather dully.
"H-hey, there's a ferret around her neck!" one boy laughed. Everybody started to laugh. My ears went back. Oh they want me pissed on the first day of school? I'll give 'em pissed off me.
"Ey, dick head! Do ya want ta try that on me?" I barked. "Koko get off." I growled. She got off and went to the podium. I stepped around the podium. I took off my jacket to show off my scars. I growled and changed to full demon form. "Any one of ya want ta try test me? Fight me and see how ya go?" I growled. Nobody said a thing. I smirked. "That's what I thought." I turned back to half a demon. I put back on my jacket.
"You had to do that?" Koko asked as she went back on my shoulder.
"Somebody had ta put them in there place." She at chuckled that. "Back ta what I was saying before being interrupted by an asshole." I growled. "If your not 18 and up ya can not mate. It's the law. If ya do mate in school 18 and ups, there are rooms in a wing in the school to do that in. I'll tell ya where if ya come to me." I sighed. "Not like I really care..." I muttered. Koko flicked her tail in my ear. "Complaints of the rooms, I don't care. Your using a room probably many people before used." I reminded them. "Hopefully they wash the sheets..." I muttered. Koko again flicked her tail in my ear. "Stop that."
"Be more positive."
"Yeah right, fluffy." I grumbled. "Anyways, demons can mate with humans if they wish too. There's a 50/50 chance that if ya have a kid with a human they will be human. No mating advances in the hallways. I don't need complaints of little kids parents saying their kids are asking what something is." I sighed scratching my cheek. "Anyways my free period time is before lunch, then is the time for asking for the wing and all. I have to give a pass to excuse you." I told them. "Which is pointless because the teacher usually sees the bite mark because of the skimpy clothes some girls wear..." I mumbled. Koko flicked her tail.
"Stop that, Wolfie."
"No." I responded. "If boys are goin ta be bitchin bout what bitch-" there were many gasps coming from the crowd from my bluntness of the use of the word for a girl. "They want ta come ta me bout it, I'm most likely goin ta say fight and the winner gets the girl." I sighed. "All physical fights will be dealt by me, so unless ya want ta be snapped at and being thrown I wouldn't do it." I yawned. "Any questions?" I sighed. A hand in the back raised its hand. "You in the back. What is it?"
"What's with ferret?" it asked.
"She's my assistant. Any other questions that don't involve my assistant?" seeing some hands dropped. "Or with mating?" seeing more go down. "Any others?" somebody had their hand up.
"Yeah, person on the right aisle seat row five?"
"Uh, how did you get those scars on you?"
"I'm a ring fighter. Anymore?" another hand went up. "Yeah, person bout middle seventh row?"
"How high are you ranked in the ring?"
"Pretty high up. Anymore? That doesn't not involve my ring fighting life." I sighed. Seeing all the hands go down. "Well its fourth period, I'll be in the alpha hall if you need. Ya may be dismissed. Masato, ya coming?" no response. "Cat boy are ya coming?"
"Imma panther dammit. Get it right." he growled. Koko laughed.
"I'm going in your hoodie, Wolfie."
"Fine. Masato you're comin with me. I have a feeling we might get mating requests already." I sighed.
"You know you could be more positive." Masato said next to me.
"Be fake positive? Yeah right."
"Stubborn ass."
"Cat boy."
"I am not a cat." he hissed.
"You say you're not a cat and yet you hiss like one." I chuckled. He growled. "Crap there's already people here. Hey Koko."
"Yeah?"
"Ya better go back to class see ya at lunch." I told her. I picked her up and put her on the ground. She turned back to half a demon. "Tell 'em if they ask why your late, tell 'em your were with the alpha." I smiled. She nodded and ran off.
"I'm stayin."
"Good." I grunted. Everybody looked up when they heard me. "One line everyone. No cutting or ya will be thrown to end of the line. No special deals." I barked. Every one started shuffling to get in line.
I walked in to the hall that lead to the Alpha room. "God, somebody turn on the god dam lights. It's like freaking den in 'ere." I yelled. We passed the pictures of past alphas on the wall. Gramma and Dad are up there. One of them half a demon and full demon. They take a new one each year till the last year you are one. I was the youngest one to be alpha here. I was 15 when I got it.
"Somebody's a little grumpy." Masato whistled.
"Shud it." I growled as I pushed open the big double oak door to office/room I reside in my off period. I pulled off my jacket and threw it on the couch that was by the wall. Masato hung his jacket on the coat rack and grabbed mine.
"When will you clean up after yourself?"
"When I have ta." I said getting behind my desk and turning on my computer. "Ya can let them in."
"Fine. First person up." he opened the door. The first person was a boy. A year older looks like to me.
"Name?"
"Rin. Rin Tochi. Bear demon." he told me. I logged in to the school database for finding students and such. Students are separated in three groups genin, chuunin, and jounin. Genin being the youngest. Chuunin being in the middle. Jounin being the last group. I'm in the jounin rank. That's 16-19 years-old.
Yep. Rin is a year older than me. Bear demon. Not top of his class smart wise. But he was very strong. It says that he was good at blocking and wrestling.
"So what do ya need?" I sighed.
"A job." he grunted.
"What a job? Ha, go down the corner and there's a store hiring." I laughed.
"No not that kind of job." I readjusted in my seat. I looked over to Masato. He understood and closed.
"Talk. Now."
"I need one of these jobs. My family needs more money. I have to do this for ring fighting."
"Money I can see. But for ring fights, no, ya have ta be in them as long as I have been in them ta get tough enough. Ya have to be able to take a beating. Ya have too. I've got scars from past fights and beatings. I've coughed up blood before." I told him. "Ya need a partner ta do these with. Also need a mask. You'll need a cover for hanging out with me more. So you'll be third command. Come back after school. As soon as ya can I have things ta do." I told him.
"So I have a job...?"
"No shit Sherlock. This is side kick Watson. Of course ya do! Come back by after school. We have things ta do."
"We...?"
"Yeah, we. Ya think I work alone? I would never do that," Masato coughed, "I would do that. I'd work alone if they're easy. Find a partner who would do this with ya comeback and we'll talk more." I dismissed him. I spin around in my chair and faced the windows to the courtyard of the school.
"Thank you-"
"Lupus. Ya call me Lupus on the jobs or were talking bout a job for ya ta take." I told him.
"Thank you again." he said leaving.
"Do ya think he will make it?" Masato asked after a little bit.
"I don't know. He'll have ta find a partner ta work with. If he doesn't find one, he'll only get D ta C rank ones. If he doesn't come back at the end of the day he won't have a job. I have things ta do."
"Like? Ring fighting?"
"No. I have pick up dog food. Big bags of them. That's why I brought an extra shirt to change to."
"Ah."
"Yeah. Now go get the next one."
"Fine."
~End of the school day~
"So your back?"
"Yeah. I am."
"No partner?"
"Yep."
"Design your mask. Hand it back in 'morrow, we will talk more." I told him. I grabbed my back pack and grabbed my extra work shirt I have. Looking up, seeing he was still there. "Take this template. Only natural colors and designs. Now ya can go." I told him. He nodded and left.
"Must be important. Huh?"
"Yeah. Dog food. Gramma'll throw a shoe at me if I forget. Maybe a newspaper or dog toy if she's in a good mood."
"A dog toy?"
"Yeah. Usually one that was just used by Nashoba or Akamaru. Usually a lot drool."
"You usually get hit by it?"
"No." I took off my shirt. Masato doesn't care. I've done it before. "I can dodge 'em, unless she sneaks up on me."
"She sneaks up?"
"Yeah somehow she does that." I told him putting on my running shoes. "Hey pass me my wrist brace and the wrap."
"Your wrist messing with you today?" he asked as he threw brace and the wrap.
"Yeah. Karma's a bitch."
"What's this have to do with karma?"
"By getting back at me for being mean ta that last couple that was going ta mate."
"Oh. But what's the wrap for?"
"I don't need people asking me how I got my four claw mark scars." I growled. "Besides I have a feeling some ones going to ask me some questions when I'm working." I growled.
"Your gut talkin' to ya?"
"Yeah it is." I sighed. "Well I be off. Call me if ya need me or have a job offer." I waved as I slung my backpack on my shoulder.
"Yeah I know." he called back as I left the hall.
Some what quiet in the hallways. Only things I hear are the janitors waxing the floor and my shoes against the floor. Opening the door to next best thing since bacon is fresh air. Seeing my dark blue pick up. I ran to it. Unlocking, I threw my back pack in and drove to the place where I picked up the food.
Hearing it rumble to life. Putting Big Bloo into gear and pulled out of the parking lot. Sighing, great, there's traffic. Gramma is going to some how throw a shoe or something at me. Seeing the cars go up and leave was great. I mean, traffic is horrible at times here.
Turning right I headed for the pick up. Seeing Old Man Rekochi aka Masato's dad. He waved at me as he saw come down the ally.
"Hey Old Man, ya got the dog food?" I yelled to him.
"You're late. I do have I'll put 'em for ya." he told me.
"Sorry bout that, I had ta talk ta guy. I'll get it for ya."
"Ya sure bout that?"
"Heck ya. It's a good way for me ta get stronger." I growled playfully. He chuckled.
"You know where it is." he grunted. I nodded and headed inside.
I headed inside to grab the first of 20 bags full of dog. I mean big bags. That last for at least two months. We have a lot dogs on the grounds. I hauled the first bag on my shoulder. I headed out and slung the bag over the side of the pick up and put it in.
Squinting, I saw a car. A small one. Maybe a Jetta...? I ignored it and went back to work to get the dog food. Got another bag and put it in back. The person in the car got out with an another person with a video camera and mic. Crap. A reporter with a live camera. Double crap.
"Excuse me, miss?" the lady with news asked.
"I'm working now get." I told them as I threw in the bag.
"Well it looks like Alphas have work to do but we will try again." I heard her say from outside. I got another bag and brought it out. "Excuse me, Miss, may we ask a few questions." I didn't respond. "I'll take that as a yes. Are you the Alpha at the academy?"
"Yes, now get." I growled.
"Are you an Inuzuka?"
"Then why do I have two red fangs on my face?" I snarled at her as I put the third bag in. 17 more to go.
"Ok then. Are you an alpha in the ring fights?" she asked as I headed in.
"I'm pretty high up there. Now go." I told her. She said out there.
"Why is brace on your wrist?" asked as soon as I was out of the store.
"Non of ya business, now leave me alone." as I slung the bag in again.
"Why is there a wrap on your wrist under your brace? Is it a tattoo? Something explicit?" explicit? If I had something like that on me Gramma and Dad will have my ass on a mount over the fireplace.
"Nothing explicit. No tattoo on my wrist." as I head back in.
"Do you have one?" again asking questions that I'm already half pissed off at her.
"I may. I will never tell ya where it is if I have or when I got it." 15 more bags to go.
"So you do have one?" she inquired. I ignored her. Walking back in grabbing another bag. "How successful are you with your fighting?" I sighed.
"Look lady, I'm busy. I rather ya leave me alone." I sighed.
"I have one more question for you. I heard you don't have a mother. Did she leave you and your father for somebody else?" my anger raged through me at that.
"She would never do that. She would never do that. She died when I was few months old! Do ya think she would do that? Never talk bout my mom that way again or you're dead. Now leave before I kill ya right 'ere. That it will be on camera. So I would get. Or be done in by me." I growled. Old Man Rekochi came out when he heard me yelling.
"Whatever you did to her leave now. You have no right to say that to her. If her father or her Gramma or her Aunt or even her uncle hear you did this to her they will come after you. Every dog is loyal to its pack. So you hurt her, they'll hurt you. And her father is very protective over her since she is one of the things closest to his mate. A father is very protective bout their kids." he growled at them wiping his hands off with bloody rag because he's a butcher and he owns the market. He is where we get our meat from too. The knife he used tucked is in the waist band of his apron.
"We did nothing wrong." she innocently said. My ass they did something wrong she said that my mom left my dad and me for another man!
"You did do something wrong. You said her Ma left her and her dad. She would never have done that. She died and you would say that? Get your stories right before you ask somebody somethin that personal. Her pissed off is worse than a bull. Get before I sick my son on you. Her and my son will tear you up and leave you a bloody mess." he growled at them more threateningly. His ears were back and his tail was flicking.
They got there things and left in a hurry. He grunted as he saw them leave. "Thanks." I mumbled.
"No problem." he smiled back as I threw the bag in. He got a bag and started helping with them.
"I got this Mr. Rekochi." I told him.
"No you don't." he handed me one. I tossed it in we did that for another 13 bags. I got six ropes out of my truck.
I tied one of the ropes ends and threw the other end to the other side of the bed. Walking over to that side and tied it on. I got another rope and tied the end to that loop and tossed diagonal of the tied spot. I did the criss cross pattern for four more times to keep the bags in if I hit a bump.
"Tell your gramma it's on her tab and here's this." he handed me a coke. "On the house." he smiled.
"Thanks."
"Just keep my boy safe when you go on jobs."
"I know, sir. I will." I told him as I closed the door of my truck. I turned it on. I rumbled out of the ally way with hand out of the window waving.
Turning on the radio. Country music. Good music. Boondocks by Little Big Town. Good song. I love that song.
"I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
And I can feel
That muddy water running through my veins
And I can hear that lullaby of a midnight train
And it sings to me and it sounds familiar
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
And I can taste
That honeysuckle and it's still so sweet
When it grows wild
On the banks down at old camp creek
Yeah, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
It's where I learned about living
It's where I learned about love
It's where I learned about working hard
And having a little was just enough
It's where I learned about Jesus
And knowing where I stand
You can take it or leave it
This is me, this is who I am
Give me a tin roof
A front porch and a gravel road
And that's home to me
It feels like home to me
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks
You get a line, I get a pole
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
Five card poker on Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning
You get a line, I get a pole
(You get a line, I get a pole)
We'll go fishing
(We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole)
Down in the boondocks
(Five card poker on Saturday night)
Church on Sunday morning
You get a line, I get a pole
(You get a line, I get a pole)
We'll go fishing
(We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole)
Down in the boondocks
(Five card poker on Saturday night)
(Say a little prayer for me)
Church on Sunday morning
You get a line, I get a pole
(You get a line, I get a pole)
We'll go fishing
(We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole)
Down in the boondocks
(Five card poker on Saturday night)
(Say a little prayer for me)
Church on Sunday morning" I was singing loud and proud along with it. I howled at some points.
By the time I got home I heard Backwards lyrics by Rascal Flatts, Highway 20 Ride Zack Brown Band, and You and Tequila by Kenny Chesney.
I saw Dad waiting out back to help me unload. He waved to me. I hope it's just to help and not to talk about what happened.
"Hey, you're late."
"Yeah, I know." I sighed.
"I saw the news." Crap. "I saw that kept asking you questions. By the way if you did have anything explicit we would have your ass." he laughed. "They went too far bout asking you that question bout your Ma that way. But Rekochi kicked their sorry asses back to their little worlds." he told me as he undid the knots.
"Yeah, he did." as I undid the knots on my side. "Rekochi said the dog food bill went to Gramma's tab."
"He did?" he draped one bag on each shoulder and hauled it in to the storage room in the dog kennels. I grabbed one and took it to the shed.
"Yeah, the usual amount probably. He looked more intimidating with butcher knife and bloody rag of his." I chuckled.
"Surprise, surprise."
"Aiko!" a voiced yelled. I looked up to see a shoe coming at me. I dodged it easily. Another shoe came at me and hit me in the face. Making me fall back.
"Dammit Gramma! Stop hitting me with your damn shoes!" I roared jumping up off my back.
"Stop being late. Then I'll stop throwing my shoes at you!"
"Dammit one day I'm going ta steal all of your shoes! If you keep doing that!"
"Stop cussing your head off! You sound like your dad!"
"Well that might because I'm his daughter!" another came at me. "How many damn shoes do you have?" I growled.
"Enough to get a message through your god damn thick skull!" she growled back at me.
"You're lucky I'm here to get the damn dog food!"
"I bet could've got somebody to do it." she shrugged.
"Whatever you wanna think Gramma. Old man Rekochi said it's in your tab." our little arguments blow over so fast. We bicker like cats and dogs and we make up.
"I know." she retreated back inside. I saw a blur of black and a strip of white come barreling towards me.
"Ey, Nashoba!" I laughed while being attacked by his "kisses" aka licks.
"Arf!" I can understand dog. Which is pretty funny because if you talk to a dog in front of people who didn't know that you can. Their faces are always priceless. Inuzukas have the ability to talk to animals with the canine descent.
"I missed ya too boy!"
"Arf!"
"Yeah, it sucked. We already had a line when we got to my free period."
"Arf?"
"Yeah he was there too." I pulled myself up. "So how's all your girlfriends?" I laughed.
"Grr."
"Haha. I was thinkin we should maybe cut that there ponytail of your's off? Y'know the bitches might find you more decent."
"Arf."
"You're lucky that you're a dog, I might've choked ya right 'ere." I growled.
"Arf. Arf." he basically said "Kiss my ass, chica."
"Oh you wanna be that way t'day?" I growled.
"Arf." he laughed.
"Ey dad, remind me to tell Nasho's girlfriends that he snores like a drunken sailor." I smirked.
"Arf." he snarled at me.
"It's called allergies, idiot. Get it right." I sighed. "You're comin wit' me ta school t'morrow. You'll be in the alpha room but I don' care cuz there's a big couch in there and all. I'll bring food for ya. Maybe water if ya good t'night." I told him. He was bout to say something. "An' no girlfriends." knowing he was going say that. "I don' wanna clean up your little session that might go on in there, I mean if ya have any." I smirked at him. "An' also I don' wanna clean up your drool off the couch."
"Arf."
"What's wit' callin me chica lately, Nasho?"
"Arf." he shrugged.
"Ya like talkin' like that?"
"Arf."
"Ya a weird dog. Ya know that, boy?" he shrugged. "You're impossible."
"Arf. Arf."
"Ey bacon's good. Least I'm not afraid of Kuromaru." I chuckled.
"Arf!"
"No he's not. You're just scared of eye patches, boy. A little gruff but he's nice."
"Woof? Arf."
"Be nice. He's like grampa to you." I told him. He shrugged. He trotted to the T.V. He paw'd the T.V. some.
"Fine we'll watch some."
I plopped on to the couch. I patted the spot next to me. He hopped up and squished me against the arm rest.
"Don' squish me." I growled at him. He sneezed on me. On purpose. Of course he did. "Just cuz your a dog, doesn't mean I can't wring your little neck of yours." I growled at him.
"Arf."
"Don' try that petty little threat to me." I snarled. "She knows that I threaten you."
"Arf."
"Fine, idiot. I'll start looking through the channels."
"Arf."
"What? My ass that you can guess what's on USA. I'm channel surfing unless. Like it or not."
First channel I turned to:
"...you know I met a man in china once. He said his big toe tingled every time there was an earthquake..." no. Not watching this today.
Second channel:
"...winner is Iron Chef Morimoto." the chairman bowed to the iron chef.
Third channel:
"...there was a big foot sighting in Washington..." no.
Fourth channel:
"Gary the news paper here~!" he called out. We watched a snail ride out on a motorized skateboard. "All I need is the entertainment section." he said holding a rubber band.
"Arf."
"What you wanna watch this?"
"Arf."
"You're killing me, boy." I sighed.
"Arf."
"Fine, fine, mutt. We'll watch it." I sighed. "Your acting like a seven year old pup." the context of pup here is a kid.
"Arf."
"Weirdest dog I know." I shook my head.
Hoped you liked it!
Can ya guess the show that I put on there?
Nobody can guess the last one XP
Channel three and one will be pretty hard to guess
