Chapter 4: The Day After
Sam and a bandaged Kaori were in Jazz's car with Tucker, Valerie, and Danny, who were still laughing about the "Dark Bunny." Kaori was glaring at them with the intent of boring holes through the backs of their heads.
"You guys, it's not funny anymore." Sam complained.
"It's like Sam said. She shouldn't be made fun of because the public calls her that. That girl risked her life to stop the robbers from harming anyone in the Nasty Burger." Jazz said. "She might even be a better person than Inviso-Bill. She certainly isn't a showoff. Before you came here Kaori, I saw Inviso-Bill showing off his powers to Paulina and when he was doing some flying tricks, he crashed into a tree with his head and split the tree in half."
Upon hearing this Tucker laughed loudly, Valerie was giggling, Sam tried to muffle her laughter using her backpack, and Kaori tried to covering her mouth with her hand to stifle the laughs.
"He's also… a little cocky…" Tucker snickered in between breaths.
"Yeah, like that one time when the ghost dog came back!" Sam chuckled.
While laughing, Valerie said, "Inviso-Bill thought that the dog would've left him alone he played with him for 30 minutes. The dog didn't think so and dragged him by his foot through Amity Park!"
"Really? Oh, that is priceless!" Kaori said, tears falling out of her eyes.
Danny growled, "Grr, just shut up, all of you!"
They all shut up but they just couldn't hide the mirth and amusement that was shining in their eyes. Jazz went and entered in the school and were completely surprised that the school was more talkative than usual.
"What the heck is going on?" wondered Kaori.
"You don't know? The school is talking about the new heroine; you know the one at Nasty Burger!"
The guy went and shoved Amity Park's newspaper in her face. She grabbed it and on the headline was a picture of Kanon releasing a beam at the leader of the robbers.
'Oh great… just great…' thought Kaori.
"She's popular amongst teenagers right now! So many want to meet her!" the boy exclaimed gleefully.
But Kaori, at this point, was annoyed and she just walked away from the guy who was STILL talking about her alter-ego.
"I hate the fact that I'm popular…" muttered Kaori.
"Hmm? Did you just say you're popular? Ha, that's a laugh!" Paulina snickered.
"Well, apparently she's popular material since Dash, Kwan, and Akira offered her a spot…" said Sam, smirking.
"What? You're definitely not popular material!" Paulina said hauntingly.
Kaori said, "Well, I don't really want to. Especially if I have to be around you more than necessary."
In pure anger, Paulina pushed Kaori, who was still injured by Joe's kicks, fell and cringed in severe pain.
"Kaori, are you okay?" Her friends yelled.
She was still on the floor, biting her lip in pain, trying to prevent herself from yelling in pain in front of everyone, to the point that her teeth pierced through and her lip was bleeding.
Tucker glared at Paulina with extreme contempt and said, "That was completely uncalled for. She only spoke out her opinion. Kaori didn't deserve to be pushed."
Noticing that everyone was staring at her with contempt also, Paulina huffed and walked away.
"Come on; let's take her to the nurse." Valerie said.
Sam helped lift her up and helped her to the nurse's office, everyone else following them. But in the process, the torn ribbons from yesterday fell onto the floor.
0_0 Biology 0_0
After dropping off Kaori in the nurse's office and the nurse telling them she'll be fine, they all went to their biology class. And since it was still the freshest news, everyone was still talking about Kanon.
"Did you see her? She literally used some shit to kick their asses!" One girl said.
"She was freaking epic! Like she came straight out some comic book!" another person said.
"Man, she's hot! What would I do to see her up close and personal!" A guy said.
And at this point, all of them were getting annoyed of them repeating it over and over again. Of course that ended pretty quickly when Akira came in holding the ribbons that were last seen in Kanon's hair.
"Shit! Kaori must have had them on her when she was pushed by Paulina and it fell out!" Sam whispered.
"Now he might suspect that Kanon goes to our school!" Danny whispered back.
"Great, now what do we do?" asked Tucker.
"We make sure that he doesn't get closer to finding it out!" Valerie replied.
Surprisingly though, Akira didn't do anything, he just walked to his seat peacefully. The four stared at him in confusion due to the fact that he was staring at the ribbon intently, like if he did, she'd pop out of nowhere.
Dash asked, "Dude, are you okay?"
Akira looked up and toward Dash, "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little out of it."
"Man, don't be so distracted. We have a game tonight, so get your head in the game!" Dash said, smacking his back.
"Yeah, don't worry. I'll be fine before the game starts." replied Akira.
"Are you sure, because if you're not feeling well, you could go to the nurse's office." suggested Kwan.
Akira stared at the ripped ribbons on his table and then he asked Dash and Kwan, "Kaori is in the nurse's office, right?"
The four of them tensed at his question and got really nervous when Dash and Kwan nodded, confused as to why Kaori had significance to the conversation at hand.
"Miss Dan, can I go to the nurse's office?"
"Yeah, go ahead."
Grabbing his backpack and held the ribbons in his hands before walking out of the classroom.
0_o Nurse's Office 0_o
Kaori was lying on the nurse's bed, sleeping, her lip bandaged with a small piece of gauze so it won't get infected. The nurse went outside to get more supplies to restock her cupboard; apparently students got injured here more than she thought they would. So, there wouldn't be anyone to warn Kaori that there would be another temporary resident in the office, especially one she wouldn't really want to see…
"Kaori." The voice said.
Subconsciously reacting to someone calling to her, Kaori stirred awake and saw Akira holding her torn ribbon and looking at her with a serious face.
"Kaori… have you seen this ribbon before?" asked Akira.
She was extremely nervous but she managed to say, "Y-Yes…why do you need to know?"
He grabbed the chair and sat with the back of it facing towards her.
"I need to know where you can buy this ribbon."
Now she was completely confused and was too shocked to hide it from her expression. Noticing that her Goth like image slipped and replaced with utter confusion, Akira knew that he had better reply quickly.
"I want to know where to buy this ribbon for the mysterious girl at the Nasty Burger. She risked her life to protect everyone, so it may not be much, but at least I could show gratitude by buying her a new one." Akira said, scratching the back of his head, a small blush gracing his features.
After getting past her initial shock, Kaori sighed (she can't be really happy since she finds this more of an inconvenience than a good thing, especially because now he'll be constantly looking for her and potentially interfering in ghost hunting) and replied, "You buy this at a place called Lolita of the Dark Moonlight (I just made it up) but the shop is in the next town over and it isn't cheap either. So good luck with that."
After that, Kaori pulled the blanket over her head and tried going back to sleep. Although irritated at her tone, Akira at least thought he should have said thank you before he left. Twenty minutes later, the bell rang, Kagome went and walked to the cafeteria and met up with everyone.
"So, what happened? Did anything happen with Akira?" Danny asked, his ice blue eyes staring at her with worry.
"Eh, nothing much. Pretty much sure he's trying to do what Paulina tries with Danny Phantom but a step higher." Kaori said nonchalantly.
Valerie asked, "You mean he's trying to flirt with you? And what do you mean "a step higher"?"
"He asked me where he can buy that ribbon that was ripped during the battle so he can repay the girl."
She phrased it like this so no one could get really suspicious and suspect that she either knew Kanon or that she was her.
"Well, at least you get something out of it right?" Tucker said with his mouth full of meat.
"Eww, Tucker, could you at least say that without spraying it?" scolded Sam.
Tucker purposely chewed with his mouth open and Valerie kicked him and told him to act his age. Danny, Sam, and Kaori laughed because the kick caused him to choke on the very meat he ate.
"Here dude. So you can stop choking." Kaori said, still laughing.
He glugged down the soda and soon, Tucker stopped heaving.
"Thanks, Kaori." Tucker said, still trying to recover from the painful kick from Valerie.
Kaori said, smirking, "Hey no problem. Can't have you become a full ghost because women kind would be in complete danger."
"That's not fair!" Tucker exclaimed.
"Well, maybe this is Kaori's revenge from you pouring a drink on her outfit." retorted Sam.
"But Sam, it was a good thing that he did; otherwise, the robbers would have gotten away and may have harmed someone." pointed out Danny.
"Whatever, Danny." Sam said, poking him in the ribs, causing him to yell an unmanly yell, which was borderline squeak.
They stared blankly at Danny, who immediately started to turn red, and then burst out laughing.
"Ha ha! Who would've thought that Danny could yell like that?" Valerie snickered.
"That was more of a squeak!" Kaori laughed.
"Oh that was great!" Sam said, tears coming out of her eyes.
"Man that was SOOO beautiful, Danny…" Tucker managed to say, due to the reason that he was literally rolling on the floor laughing.
Danny growled and his eyes turned green, which immediately caused them to stop laughing.
"I'll give you to the count of ten to run." Danny said.
All of them sprinted at breakneck speed and dashed on out of there.
And five seconds later, Danny ran after them, "Oops, I guess I'm still bad at math. Oh well!"
He turned invisible and began his hunt for his friends. Tucker was easy to find since he tripped and yelled out really loudly. Valerie was a little harder since she went and actually disguised herself as another person but she too was caught. Kaori took an even longer time since she went invisible but when he passed a certain spot, he suddenly felt a sudden breeze, revealing her position. Now, Danny had to find the most elusive of them all: Sam.
Danny was flying through the hallways trying to find Sam, soon though he found her. Well more she found him. Or to be more technical, it was the door that Sam opened that collided with the invisible, not intangible, Danny Fenton's face.
"Oh my gosh! Are you oka- oh shit!" Sam said before running off in the other direction.
After recovering from the sudden door attack, Danny flew on after her and then tackled her to the floor.
"Ha! Gotcha!"Danny said with a cocky smile. "I caught the elusive Sam!"
"Hey, I resent that! You make me sound like a prize to be won!"
"Nah, you're a prize that would kill me if I said you were a prize. And I don't think anyone wants to be killed by their prize." laughed Danny.
"You got that right, dammit!" Sam laughed back, her eyes sparkling and a light blush on her cheek.
Danny couldn't help but notice this and just couldn't help but to just find this really cute because she never actually seen her look like this…
"Geez, you two were right. Sam and Danny have WAAAAYYY too many moments…" a familiar voice said, amusement clearly in their voice
Kaori, Tucker, and Valerie were staring at them with smirks on their faces. Danny and Sam immediately understood why and Danny hopped off Sam pretty quickly.
"Whaddya mean 'moments'?" Sam yelled.
"I'm not going to say anything. Not gonna give away too much…" Kaori, Tucker, and Valerie said in unison.
"Why would it give away too much?" innocently asked Danny.
Sam blushed and stammered out, "Y-Y- You don't n-need to know, Danny!"
