In this chapter, it's still Kunoichi's POV, but later in the chapter it's normal POV. And well, the title of this chapter says it all. I hope all of you enjoy reading.
Chapter 3: Sleepover
"Well…" Masamune said urging for him to go on.
"Well…" Yukimura said.
"Well..." Masamune said again while nodding.
"Kun…," Yukimura started but was cut off by Masamune.
"Kunoichi?" Masamune asked. Yukimura nodded.
What!? How?! Huh?! But-But-But-
I opened my eyes in shock, "AHHHHHH!" I screamed. Yukimura, Masamune, and Oichi look at me. I looked at Masamune and he was pretending to slice his throat with his finger… Meaning I shouldn't have done that. I just nodded confused. Yukimura continued to look at me confused, but then turned to Masamune who was smiling suspiciously.
"Masamune, why did Kunoichi scream?" Yukimura asked getting suspicious by the second.
"Huh? What? Did you say something? I'm sorry but can you repeat it?" Masamune said quickly.
"Yeah, why did-," again Yukimura was cut off.
"So…did you really like her?" Masamune asked. Yukimura was taken back but still nodded.
"Do you think Kunoichi is Kunoichi?" Masamune asked.
"I don't know?" Yukimura replied not sure.
"Do you wanna go ask her?"
"No…," Yukimura said disappointed.
"WHY NOT?!" Masamune shouted.
"Masamune, be quite, I don't want Kunoichi to hear, and it's because I'm not even sure that's her…"
"Imbecile … it is…" I heard Masamune murmured to himself.
"What?"
"Nothing!"
Yukimura looked at Hayate who was nodding to acknowledge that class was about to start, "Masamune, practice is about to start, you should be going now."
"Fine! If you didn't want me here, you could've just said so!" Masamune crossed his arms.
"Masamune, I'm just about to start practice. I'll talk to you later."
"Oh yeah…I forgot… See ya Yukimura," Masamune said stupidly. He came back rubbing the back of his head and said, "Well, yup that's Yukimura!"
"Yeah, I heard it all." I said annoyed and rolled my eyes. "Well, Oichi and I gotta go. See ya Masamune," I said as Oichi and I got up. He just waved.
We were about to walk out of the building until something grabbed my arm, "Whoa!" I said as I was pulled back. I turned around to see Yukimura holding my arm.
"What? You're just leaving without saying goodbye?" Yukimura asked disappointed and pouted.
I rolled my eyes and said, trying to act motherly, "I'm sorry Yukimura, but I have to go now. So I'll see you later, okay? I'm sure Mr. Hayate will bring you home."
He smiled, let go of my arm, and crossed his arms, "Okay, bye Mother."
I waved and smiled, "Bye Yukimura, you be good now okay?"
Yukimura chuckled and nodded, "Yes Mommy." I laughed as we walked outside the building.
"I bet Yukimura likes you…" Oichi whispered.
I really don't know why she's whispering… No one's even here.
I just looked at her annoyed, "Whatever…" Oichi just keep laughing quietly. We were walking back to my grandpa's office.
"Do you think Masamune is going crazy?" I asked.
"Maybe…I thought he was always like that?" Oichi asked.
"No, I mean he wasn't like that earlier today, and at the practice thing he was screaming."
"Eh, maybe he is getting crazy…" Oichi snickered.
We got to my grandpa's office. "Ready to go Kunoichi?" my grandpa asked.
I paused and asked pleadingly, "Yup, but can Oichi come with us? PLEASE! You know where she lives, right?"
"Of course…but we would have to ask her brother…"
"Oichi can call him!" I said happily. Oichi took out her cell and dialed his number. She waited a while for an answer and started to talk.
"What took you so long?!" She exclaimed.
"Ewww…Never mind…"
"Yeah brother?"
"This is Oichi, you retard!"
"Stop whatever you're doing and talk to me!"
"Can Mr. Takeda bring me home?"
"I can?"
"Yay!" she squealed in joy as she hung up her phone.
"He said yes!" she squealed again.
"Okay girls, come on and let's get to the car," my grandpa said as we started to walk out of the office.
We were walking to the teachers' parking lot that was three stories. We got to the car, it was a Toyota. My grandpa unlocked the car and we got inside. The seats were tan leather, and there was a navigation system in the front. There were five seats and there were TVs in the front and the back. In the front, there was a button where you have to press and the small TV would come out. In the back, the TV is just hanging from the roof.
"Whoa! Nice car, Mr. Takeda!" Oichi said excitedly.
"Thank you, Oichi," my grandpa replied. "Buckle up, girls, I'm starting the car," my grandpa said as he started the car. We did what we were told and my grandpa started to drive.
"Yay, I can't believe I'm going home with you! I wish I could go to your house though!" Oichi said.
"Oichi, you can come another day but not today."
"Why?" Oichi asked.
"Because I just moved here and we still have things to unpack."
"Sooo…I can go tomorrow?"
"I don't know…But I'll ask my mom!" I said happily.
"Awesome! So anyway, we should plan another plan!"
"What! With Masamune going to make it suspicious, it will work out just perfectly just like today!" I said sarcastically.
"What's this plan are you talking about?" my grandpa asked. Oichi and I looked at each other.
"Uhhh…it's a project for school! Yeah a project," Oichi said. My grandpa looked at us in the rear view mirror and was like 'okay?'
"Alright…whatever you say girls…"
"Hey Mr. Takeda, did you know Kunoichi has one of the parts for the main characters for the play were doing? It's called…Essence of Love…," Oichi said.
"It sounds like a mushy play," my grandpa snickered.
"Yeah that's what Masamune said!"
"So what kind of part is it, Kunoichi?"
"Uhhh...," I said. What if my grandpa knows what the play is about? Has he read the book before?
"Yeah, go on and tell him!" Oichi said teasingly.
"Hmmm…."
"Go on!"
"Ummm…"
"Oh my goodness, just tell him already!" Oichi said very irritated.
"Oichi shut up! Fine I'll tell you! I got one of the lovers part, happy?" I said frustrated.
"Who's the other love?" my grandpa asked. Why did he have to ask that question?
"Yukimura…"
"Oooooo!" Oichi said. I punched her arm. "Ouch…that really hurt…" she whined.
"I see…," my grandpa said amused.
"Don't get any ideas grandpa! We are just friends!" I told him.
"That's what she thinks!" Oichi said using her thumb to point at me with a huge smile.
"Oichi, don't make me punch you again!" I was getting my fist ready.
"Ahhhhh, Okay I'll be good…I think…"
"What part do you play Oichi?" my grandpa asked her.
"I play Orimi, Kunika's best friend!"
"So Kunoichi's Kunika...heh, your names are so similiar...and your name too, Oichi. So you're one of the main characters too?"
"Yup, oh and guess what Kunoichi and Yukimura have to do?"
"What is that?"
My eyes widen as she was continuing. "They have to Ki-." And by instinct, I covered Oichi mouth and she was mumbling her words.
"Uhhh…she means we have to kick Masamune because he did a naughty thing, right Oichi?" I winked at her.
"Uhhh…yeah they do, it's humor also!" Oichi nodded.
"Alright," my grandpa said slowly. Before we realized it, we got to Oichi's house.
"Thanks Mr. Takeda, bye Kun- I mean Kunika!" Oichi teased.
"Oichi shut it!" I yelled.
"Ha, ha bye!" She got out of the car but stopped and looked back at me, "I forgot to ask you, but can I have you cell and house number?"
"Yeah, sure," I said. I got some paper from one of the slots, a pen from my grandpa and I started to write down my numbers. I handed it to Oichi.
"Thanks Kunika, I gotta go bye," Oichi said as she was about to close the door.
I sighed annoyed, "Oichi shut up!" She laughed and closed the car door. We wait until she was inside her house and drove away.
"So Kunoichi, how was school today?" my grandpa asked.
"Interesting…But thanks so much Grandpa! I love this school! How come I didn't come here earlier?" I asked.
"Because you were afraid that it might be like some of the others."
"Oh yeah," I said. We soon got to my house. My grandpa drove to the driveway and turn off the engine.
"Come on Grandpa! Let's go see Mom and Dad now," I said as we got out of the car. We walked to the door and I unlocked it. I opened the door and we went inside the house.
"Kunoichi, you're back! How was school?" my mom asked.
"It was great Mom," I smiled.
"And Uncle Shingen, I haven't since you in such a long time! It's so good to see you!"
"Yes and also you," my grandpa replied to my mom. I walked inside the kitchen and went to the dinner table. There was tempura on my placemat. I sat down and started to chow down. I finished eating and went up stairs. I went to my magenta walled room and lied on my purple and pink bed. Suddenly the phone started to ring. I picked it up.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hi Kunoichi!" it was Oichi.
"Hi Oichi!"
"Masamune, say hi also!"
"Why do I have to be in this girly conversation?" Masamune complained.
"Masamune's here?"
"Yup, and I called you because I was bored." Oichi said. I grabbed my bag and took out my homework.
"I'm just doing homework," I said.
"I hope you guys don't talk about nails and clothes and boys and the mall and shopping and-."
"Masamune, I think we get it!" I yelled.
"Kunoichi, be quiet!" My mom yelled from downstairs. My mom heard me.
"Yeah Mom," I responded.
"We also have to start practicing for our lines tomorrow," Oichi said.
"We do? Oh man, I have to look it up!" Masamune panicked. I could hear pages turning over the phone.
"Masamune, I think you shouldn't turn the pages too hard or else it will-." I heard a tearing sound. "Rip…"
"Well, why didn't you say so?" Masamune said quite annoyed.
"Ugh…Weirdo…"
"By the way, Masamune, tell Kunoichi of our brilliant plan!" Oichi said confidently.
"Oh yeah, I thought about a plan for you and Yukimura." Masamune said.
"What now, you gonna get nervous and say things at random?"
"Hey that's an insult! Anyway, I'm thinking your running in the hallway and you 'accidentally' bump into him."
"Isn't that kinda old?"
"Well how about tomorrow at the theater?"
"But with everyone looking?"
"No imbecile!"
"Look who's talking."
"Okay I'm ignoring that. When everyone's out of class, since theater's our last subject, we just wait for everyone to leave. And you 'accidentally' bump into him."
"I'm not doing that!"
"Why? I thought it would be funny, if you don't want to do it, then Oichi and I could just push you into Yukimura…well then, do you wanna do it the easy way by just telling him that you're Kunoichi?"
"Hard way please!"
"Okay, well just play it cool."
"I will if you never say cool again."
"I think he won't say it for a while!" Oichi said threateningly.
"I doubt this plan is going to let Yukimura know it's me."
"Just play it-."
"Masamune you don't want to be unconscious, right?" Oichi asked.
"No! I don't want to go to sleep!" Masamune pleaded.
"You guys I need to do my homework, I'll see you guys at school tomorrow. Buh- bye,"
I said and hang up the phone. "That was the weirdest conversation in my entire life…" I said to myself. I soon finished my homework. I pick it the Essence of Love book and started to read. I was really just scanning through the pages just to get a clear idea to what the play was really going to be about. I started to remember what happened today.
"I wonder why Mrs. Oda picked me to be Kunika?" I asked myself. Then I remembered what Oichi told me before Mrs. Oda picked Yukimura to be Yukihiro.
"Don't worry Kunoichi, my sis-in-law knows what she's doing," she said and smirked.
"It was her! This is a plan!" I whispered loudly to myself. I sighed very frustrated. "I knew they were planning something behind my back…" I continued to scan through the book and read an interesting part out loud.
"As dawn broke, the young ninja went out of her room and went to the peaceful garden…that's what she thought… 'Get her' she heard someone yell. Three ninjas dressed in black appeared surrounding her and all had daggers with their firm grip in hand. She wondered how they knew that she was Yonezawa. They started to attack her but she disappeared into the shadows of the trees nearby. 'Where is she? Find her!' yelled one of the ninjas. They started to search for the female ninja until they heard someone, 'Kunika, where are you?' To Kunika happiness, it was Yukihiro. The three ninjas looked at each other as one of them spoke quietly, 'we'll have to retreat for now…' and with that they disappeared. Kunika sighed with relief and came out of the shadows. Yukihiro saw her and walked up to her. He said softly, 'Where were you? I checked in your room if you were awake yet, but you were not there.' Kunika just laughed softly before answering, 'Oh Yukihiro, stop being paranoid, I'm just out here to get a fresh breath of air.' Yukihiro smiled weakly, 'I guess I was being paranoid… I just don't want you to get hurt-'." I stopped reading from there. I felt a presence. I looked up to see my mom in the doorway, and I think she was listening to me the whole time.
"I didn't know you read?" my mom asked.
"Mom, I don't…its just homework."
"Well, I came up here to tell you to go to sleep but I stopped to see you reading."
"Well, I'm almost done with my homework. Once I'm done, I'll go to bed, okay?"
"Alright Kunoichi, good night," my mom said.
"Night Mom," I responded. She left my room.
I began to look over my script to just get some memory into my head, and once I memorized it enough, I put all my homework on the floor next to my bed. I glanced at the clock and it read 10:23 p.m. I went into my bathroom and brushed my teeth. Once I was finished, I hopped onto my bed, set my alarm, and went to sleep
Morning came.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP
"No…not again…" I said angrily.
BEEP, BEEP, BEPP
"Ugh…" I groaned. I grabbed my clock and threw it at the wall. I sighed.
My mom came into the room again. "Kunoichi, get up!" my mom yelled. That caused me to jump out of bed and land on the carpet face down.
"Okay…Ow…," I mumbled. I got ready for school. I took a shower, ate breakfast, packed my stuff and I was ready to go. I got into the car because my grandpa was already ready and he was the one who was going to drive me to school. And we were off. I was still tired and so I yawned.
"Kunoichi, you are not tired, are you?" my grandpa asked concerned.
"I am kinda…," I replied tiredly.
"Then I think you should rest, we'll be there in a while," my grandpa told me as my eyes started to drop close as I just fell asleep.
A while later
"Kunoichi, wake up," I heard my grandpa say. My eyes fluttered opened and I saw we were at the teachers' parking lot, meaning we arrived at school. "Kunoichi, let's get to the school buildings now," my grandpa told me. I nodded and got my backpack. I got out of the car and I went to my locker, got my Literature and Writing book and went to class.
Nothing really happened in Literature and Writing so I'll skip that. But I went to art, Oichi was sitting in her usual spot and I sat next to her. I felt a tap on my shoulder so I turned around. To my surprise, Yukimura was behind me.
"Yukimura, what are you doing here? I thought you didn't have Art second period?" I asked surprised.
"The teacher was absent, so Mr. Takeda let my class have second period free," Yukimura explained.
"But why would you come to our class?"
"I just wanted to have my class with my friends," Yukimura smiled. Mr. Imagawa came in the room.
"Okay class, today we will be painting like professional Japanese artists." He said with his girly voice. Masamune began listening to his iPod.
"Masamune, he's done talking." Oichi said. Masamune was just closing his eyes and nodding his head up and down trying to follow the rhythm of the music he was listening to.
"Masamune, he's done talking!" Oichi yelled. Masamune again didn't hear her. Then Oichi hit him on the head. He took out his head set.
"Ouch! What do you want? I don't want to hear him talk." Masamune said.
"Stupid, he was done talking six minutes ago."
"Oh…and no one told me?" Masamune asked. We just rolled our eyes. "So what did he tell us?"
"He said we will be painting like professional Japanese artists," Yukimura answered. Mr. Imagawa passed out the paint brushes and the paper and we started to paint.
"So anyone like my painting?" Masamune showed us his painting. It looked like it was made by a preschooler!
"Uhhh…yeah…" I snickered.
"Yeah… It's really pretty…" Oichi was quietly laughing.
"I knew I could do!" He said proudly, "Yeah and I remembered my cousin showed me this book and about a red train saying 'I think I can, I think I can'. I just remember that and I knew I could draw well."
Okay, I can't hold it any longer! I burst out laughing.
"What?" He asked. Oichi started laughing with me. "What?" Masamune asked again confused.
"Uhhh…Masamune…I hate to break it to you, but your drawing looks like crap…" Yukimura simply said.
"What? And I thought it was pretty!" Masamune pouted. I laughed some more.
"You know that line was from the Little Engine That Could, right?" I asked.
"Yeah I know…," Masamune said still disappointed. The bell rang. Nothing really happened in Math, except we were laughing at Mr. Hashiba's voice the whole time. And nothing really happened in History because Mr. Tokugawa is very strict and makes us keep quiet. Science was next. I got to class.
"Man, school's being tiresome…" I said.
"Yeah, I know…" Oichi agreed.
"I almost fell asleep in Mr. Tokugawa's class…" I yawned. Mr. Oda came in the room.
"AHHHHHH!" everyone screamed.
"Okay, I'm getting tired of this screaming…" he said. "Oh and were doing chemistry today."
"Yay!" everyone cheered. We got to chemistry tubes and science goggles and went back to our seats. Mr. Oda gave us the chemicals.
"Okay, class I want you to make a certain chemical…" he started. We started to pour in some chemicals in the tube. Then all of a sudden Masamune pours something bluish and then blows up the tube container. Ash flew to our faces. I wiped the ash off my eyes and mouth and started to laugh.
"He blew up the tube!" I giggled.
"Yeah!" Oichi giggled. Yukimura even laughed and then Masamune.
"Masamune, I didn't want you to blow something up!" Mr. Oda yelled. Masamune stopped laughing and looked scared.
"Brother, what did I say about scaring people!" Oichi shouted.
"No, I don't want to be unconscious!"
"Fine, then stop, besides you can buy a new one."
"But that one was my favorite and it cost four hundred dollars."
"Whoa…okay, you're a mad science teacher," Oichi said a little freaked out by her brother. The bell suddenly rang. Lunch was the same so we got to gym. And there was Okuni...I don't know why she has it bad for me… Oh wait…Yukimura…
"Okay class, today we are playing dodge ball." Mr. Honda said, "Girls on one side, boys on the other."
"But this isn't fair!" one girl said. Well, the boys were stronger than us… but that didn't mean anything. We are all warriors and ninjas, so it's equal.
We got into our positions on the court. "Okay, get ready and…Throw!" Mr. Honda said as he blew the whistle to start the game. We started to throw. The boys threw all the balls at the same time. Okuni got hit.
"…I got out…" she said and got off the court and sat on the bleachers. Then the game went on and many people were out. Only four remained. Oh and I wonder who the people were? Hmmm…there was me, Yukimura, Oichi and Masamune. Yukimura was just standing there as if he wanted me to hit him. I gave him a confuse face but he just nodded. I threw the ball at him and he was out.
"Yukimura, why the heck did you do that on purpose?" Masamune asked angrily.
"You'll see Masamune," Yukimura smirked.
Hee, hee...Ummm... Yukimura kinda looks...hot... when he smiles a lot... A-hem!
And now only one person left on the boys team…Masamune. I looked at Oichi. She had an evil smile.
"Uh-oh…" Masamune said, "Yukimura…you are so gonna pay…"
"You ready Kunoichi?" Oichi asked.
"Yup, I'm ready." I threw the ball and it hit Masamune's side. Then Oichi threw the ball and it hit Masamune's head.
"Okay, the girls win!" Mr. Honda said and blew the whistle to acknowledge that the game was over.
"Yay!" all the girls cheered. The bell rang. Oichi and Masamune were smiling those creepy smiles. I just rolled my eyes. We went to the theater. We all sat in our seats while Mrs. Oda was waiting for us to quiet down.
Once it was quiet enough, she spoke. "Kunoichi, Yukimura, Masamune, Oichi, I want you to do a little rehearsing and don't worry, you'll be able to read your script when practicing." Mrs. Oda said. Me, Yukimura, Oichi and Masamune went onto the stage. I was looking over my part. Then there was a tap on my shoulder, I turned around to see Oichi. She started to whisper something in my ear.
"So are you ready for the plan?" she asked.
"No…this plan is stupid…"
"Besides that point, I can go to your house today right?"
"Ummm…sorry, but no…My Mom said we are still unloading."
"Can I sleepover at your house sometime?"
"I don't know? Don't you need permission?"
"Oh yeah…" She looked at Mrs. Oda, "Hey Noh, can I sleepover at Kunoichi's house anytime I want?"
"Yes, just let me know when you're sleeping over and I'll tell your brother," Mrs. Oda replied.
"Okay!" Oichi looked at me, "Yay, I can sleepover whenever I want!" I smiled.
A little while later Mrs. Oda spoke, "Okay, you kids ready to rehearse?" she asked.
"Yup!" we said.
"Okay act one, scene one!" Mrs. Oda said. I sat on a bench and sighed. (This is going to be in a play format) The narrator comes to speak, which is just another student.
Narrator: "This scene is taking place in Hirosaki, Japan 1578. A ninja girl, about the age of nineteen, named Kunika sits on a bench…her thoughts are happy but sad thoughts…She is normally a happy girl but today isn't such her day. She looks out onto the field thinking where to go…Orimi comes to her."
"Narrator, the intro will be done on your part. You will memorize just the intro because you will tell the audience alone on stage while the curtains are closed. The rest of your lines you will be able to read off your script because you will be at the sides looking at the play as it continues. There will be a little patio where you could use to read from of. When we present this, you will be narrating the whole thing, even till the very end of the play, alright?" Mrs. Oda said. The narrator nodded. "Okay girls, continue the play."
Oichi came and sat next to me. She put a hand on my shoulder. I looked at her.
Orimi: "What are you so cranky about, Miss Cranky?" she asked.
Narrator: "Orimi is Kunika's best friend ever since her childhood. She is about the age of fifteen. She is also a happy girl just trying to fix her friend's mood."
Kunika: "Nothing Orimi…being a ninja is sometimes fun and boring and nothing in between…
I interrupted myself, "Wait a minute! Mrs. Oda that's not true! I love being a ninja!"
"Kunoichi, just go on with the play!" she responded. I nodded.
Orimi: "Don't be silly, tomorrow I'm visiting my friend from Yonezawa. You still haven't decided whether you are coming with me or not."
Kunika: "I don't know…maybe I will, maybe I won't."
Orimi: "PLEASE! Trust me, he doesn't bite."
Kunika: "That would be disgusting if he bit me anyway."
Orimi: "I know, but please! Your father even said you could go."
Kunika: "I know, I'll think about it one more time. You just start packing."
Orimi: "Fine, fine but come to me before I'm done packing, so I can help you pack."
Kunika: "But I haven't decided yet if I'm going."
Orimi: "I know," she walks away.
"That was perfect girls! Now act one, scene two!" Mrs. Oda says.
Narrator: "Orimi's packing her stuff and Kunika comes to her."
I go to Oichi.
Kunika: "Orimi, I decided I'm coming with you."
Orimi: "Yay! Now what changed your mind?"
Kunika: "Ummm…It would just be boring if you were not here."
Narrator: "Now what she said was a lie…"
Orimi: "You're always like that Kunika, now come on, pack!"
I grabbed a bag and started to fill it with clothes. We finished packing the clothes. The clothes were really just some worn out clothes. I really wasn't going to wear it.
Orimi: "Now…Maybe we should start fixing your hair…"
Kunika: "What! What are you talking about? Aren't we just visiting your friend?"
Orimi: "Oh yeah…come on!"
We took our bags and ran back stage.
"Okay, Masamune, get ready because you're going to be in this scene." Mrs. Oda said.
"You got it!" Masamune said.
The curtain people closed the curtains and the stage crew started to put up props like the table and fake food. They also changed the background scene into a traditional Japanese dining room. Once they were done, Oichi and I ran back onto the stage holding our bags. Masamune and some other students were sitting around a table, pretending to be talking and eating. Then Masamune waved to us.
Orimi: "Hi Masaharu, this is my friend Kunika. You know the one I've always been talking about." She winked.
I looked at her 'pretending' to be confused. 'Orimi' just smiles.
Masaharu: "Yes, I know…Thank you for coming you two, just leave your bags down there and the soldiers will bring it to your rooms. Later, they will show your rooms and you can unpack. By the way, my friend is coming here too. He will arrive soon. Now take a seat."
Orimi: "That's nice…," she paused. We got to the table and sat down. "Anyway…oh, nice table, its wood is so amazing! Where did you get it?" she said with enthusiasm.
Masaharu: "Oh, we have great trees here."
Orimi: "Yeah, it's very detailed."
Masaharu: "Yeah, like the lines from the wood is perfect."
Orimi: "Yeah and it also-."
Kunika: "A-hem, I'm sorry for interrupting your wonderful talk about wood, but can I eat something? I'm getting hungry…"
Masaharu: "Oh yeah, but let's wait for my friend first. I told you he will be here so-."
A student dressed as a soldier came.
Soldier: "Lord Masaharu, Lord Yukihiro is here."
Masaharu: "Well bring him in!"
The 'soldier' moved aside, and Yukimura was standing there. I was pretending to be eating and not look at Yukimura.
Orimi: "Kunika, were not supposed to eat yet."
I was still pretending to be eating.
Orimi: "Kunika, I said were not supposed to eat yet." She started to yell, "Kunika, were not supposed to eat yet!"
I turned my attention to Oichi.
Kunika: "Did you say something Orimi?"
Orimi: "Ugh…"
Masaharu: "Hi Yukihiro, this is my friend Orimi," he started, "and this is Orimi's friend, Kunika."
Orimi: "Hello!" She waved at 'Yukihiro' and looked at me.
Yukihiro: "Warm greetings," he said politely.
Kunika: I waved and said, "Hi…"
'Yukihiro' came closer to me, and held out his hand.
Yukihiro: "Nice to meet you," he said.
I shook his hand, and looking over at Masamune and Oichi. They were smiling…those…those…creepy smiles again…
Masaharu: "Okay now that we met each other, let's eat!" he yelled. We started to pretend eating. Then there was an awkward silence.
Masaharu: "So…Yukihiro…do you have a girlfriend?"
Yukihiro: "No Masaharu…for the thousandth time. Why do you always ask that question?"
Masaharu: "Just a curiosity…And the fact that every girl practically asked you to marry them but you denied all of them."
Yukihiro: He rolled his eyes.
Orimi: "Do you have a boyfriend Kunika?"
Kunika: "No Orimi, for the millionth time, why do you keep asking me?"
Orimi: "Just a curiosity…And the fact that all the guys are at their feet when they see you and you ignore them."
Kunika: I rolled my eyes.
"And…cut! Good job boys and girls! Tomorrow we will be rehearsing more of act one again until Friday." Mrs. Oda said. School ended. I got off stage, grabbed my backpack, and headed up the stage again. I started packing my things.
"Kunoichi!" Masamune and Oichi yelled.
"Uh-oh…" I mumble.
"Oh yes!" they both said as they heard me. Then they came up to me and push me into Yukimura.
Normal POV
Kunoichi bumped into Yukimura and they both fell onto the ground with Kunoichi on top of him.
"I am sooo sorry!" she apologized.
"It's alright, it was an accident."
"No, more like done by little brats…" she murmured to herself.
"Did you say something?"
"No…"
Masamune and Oichi-
"This is good! We should do something like this on the weekends to make it more fun!" Masamune said.
"Yeah…like a sleepover, how about a sleepover at Kunoichi's house?" Oichi said.
"You guys aren't going to talk about-."
"No, we're not going to talk about boys, our nails, the mall, shopping, our hair, clothes, or any girly things, happy?"
"Yup!"
Kunoichi and Yukimura-
Yukimura helped Kunoichi up. They were just staring at each other until-
"Hey Kunoichi," Oichi said.
"Yukimura, Oichi, and I are sleeping over at your house." Masamune said.
Yukimura looked at Masamune confused, "What? When did I say that?"
Kunoichi looked at them confused, "I didn't agree to this!"
"Too bad, it's already been decided so were sleeping over!" Oichi stated.
"Alright…," I sighed in defeat. "When's the sleepover?"
"Friday, we all go home with you," Masamune informed.
"Fine…"
Friday… after school... (Okay, I had to skip rest of the week of school because it would be too boring… So on with the story.)
The four young teenagers were walking to the building of the cafeteria, where they all agreed to meet. They just got their stuff from their lockers and were almost there. The three warriors brought their luggage to school this morning and left it in the office, but they picked it up before they went to their lockers. All of them met up and Masamune was the first to speak.
"Okay, Kunoichi, time for your sleepover," Masamune said.
"Ugh…I know…" Kunoichi moaned.
Shingen Takeda, the principal and Kunoichi's grandpa, was walking to them. "Hey Mr. Takeda, are we ready to go?" Oichi asked.
Shingen nodded, "Yes, just follow me to the car." Shingen started to walk to the teachers' parking lot with the teenagers following. Once they got there, they loaded their stuff in the trunk. Shingen then signaled them to enter the car. All of them sat on the back seat, so here's the order: Masamune, Oichi, Kunoichi, and Yukimura. Plus they were squished. Shingen started the car and drove off.
"Oichi, move your elbow!" Masamune yelled.
"Not until you move your arm!" Oichi yelled.
"Oichi, move your leg!" Kunoichi yelled.
"I can't, Masamune's in the way!" Oichi responded.
"Hey!" Masamune yelled.
"Kunoichi, your arm's on my lap," Yukimura said calmly.
"I sorry…I can't really move…OICHI is in the way!" Kunoichi shouted.
"Hey!" Oichi yelled.
"Can you children please stop yelling? I'm trying to drive here!" Shingen yelled.
"Sorry Grandpa!" Kunoichi said. The whole time they were squished. They finally made it to the house. Shingen gets out of the car and opens the door of Yukimura. Then they all come falling out on top of each other. Here's the order: Poor Yukimura was on the bottom, then on top of him was Kunoichi, then on top of her was Oichi, then on top of her was Masamune.
"Ha, ha, ha now maybe one of you should have listened to me!" Shingen laughed.
"Yeah…I think one of us should've sat in the front…" Kunoichi said.
Masamune got up. "Ouch! That hurt…I need to stretch…" Masamune started to stretch. Oichi got up and punch Masamune's right arm.
"What was that for?" Masamune asked as he stared to rub it.
"My left arm hurts like heck because you fell on me!"
"It's not my fault! ONE of us should have sat in the front!"
Kunoichi got up. She started to rub her head. "Ow…my head hurts…Grandpa, maybe you shouldn't have done that…" she said.
Yukimura got up. He was rubbing his arm. "Maybe…" he said.
"Now stop blaming me…one of you should have sat in the front. Now come in the house." Shingen said. Oichi, Masamune, and Yukimura then finally got a look of the house.
"Whoa…," they said in unison.
Kunoichi and Shingen looked at them confused. "What?" they asked in unison.
"This is where you live?" Oichi said amazed.
"Yeah, why is it such a big deal?" Kunoichi asked.
"You have to be joking!" Masamune yelled.
Kunoichi just rolled her eyes.
The house wasn't an ordinary house… It was the biggest mansion they have ever seen. The three young teenagers started to look around them and notice they were in a gated community filled with mansions, but Kunoichi's house was the biggest mansion. The mansions were also on a high hill. There was a giant gate guarding her large property. She had a long cemented drive way with practically a garden along the sides. Her front yard was covered with greenery. Beautiful flowers like you've never since. Purple lilies going into bloom, red roses filled with delight, yellow daises showing off the sun's color, and many other flowers. When you looked at this, it put a smile on everyone's face in the community. They looked back at the very large house. It looked like it had four floors…really big four floors. They looked to their left and saw a cemented drive way going to the back or something and it was connected to the long drive way.
"Are you coming or what?" Kunoichi asked. The three turned back their attention to the young ninja. They noticed that their principal already went inside the house.
"Yes, lead the way," Yukimura said. Kunoichi nodded but stopped.
"Don't you guys need to get your luggage?" she asked them.
"Oh yeah…," Oichi remembered. The three took their luggage out of the back of the car. They grabbed their luggage and she led them into the house. Again they were astonished.
"Whoa!" Oichi screamed and she heard her echo. The floor was made out of pearl and on the way to the kitchen, the floor was wooden. The house had a ton of space.
"Kunoichi…this house is…big…," Yukimura said as if in a trance. Kunoichi just rolled her eyes.
"Yeah…I can't believe you live here! By the way… where do we sleep?" Masamune asked.
"Upstairs in the guest bedrooms," Kunoichi said. Masamune and Oichi picked up their luggage and started to walk upstairs. Yukimura and Kunoichi followed them. Both Masamune and Oichi stopped which caused Kunoichi and Yukimura to stop.
"Why did you guys stop?" Kunoichi asked.
"We don't know where we are going…" Masamune answered. Kunoichi went ahead if them and started to lead them upstairs. They walked two stairs up which was the third floor and then Kunoichi turned right and started to walk down the hallway. Kunoichi opened the door and they entered a room with one king size bed, three dressers, a desk, one 40 inch flat screen, a closet, a bathroom, and the carpet was beige. The walls were white and the roof was tan. The bed sheets were pink and white. In the bathroom, the floor and sink were made out of pearl. The room had a ton of space.
"Whoa…this room is big…" Masamune said amazed.
"Yeah…how come you never told me how big your house is…?" Oichi said dazed.
"Oh brother…once you guys are done day-dreaming, tell me." Kunoichi said annoyed.
5 minutes later…
"Are you done yet?" Kunoichi was tapping her feet impatiently.
"Hold on…" Masamune and Oichi said at the same time. Then Kunoichi smacked their heads and then they rubbed it.
"Hey! That hurt! Okay, we'll stop day-dreaming!" Oichi said.
"I don't want to…" Masamune whined. Kunoichi smacked him again. "Okay, okay, I'll stop day-dreaming!" Masamune gave up. Kunoichi smiled satisfied.
"This is Oichi's room. Now Oichi, give me your bags." Kunoichi said. She gave her bags to Kunoichi. Kunoichi put it down next to the bed.
"Okay Oichi, you can stay here and look around your room if you want, but if you want to come, I'm going to show Masamune and Yukimura their rooms."
"I think I'll just look at my room…" Oichi said already looking around.
"Okay, I'll come and get you when I'm done." Kunoichi then looked at the two male samurai warriors. "Okay you two, I need to show you guys your rooms." They nodded and followed Kunoichi to their rooms. Kunoichi walked to a room crossed from Oichi's. She opened the door and they entered. The room had the same as Oichi's but more of a masculine touch to it. The walls were green and the roof was white. The carpet was white and the bed sheets were navy blue and green.
"This is your room, Masamune," Kunoichi said.
"Whoa! This room's nice!" Masamune shouted with delight.
"Yeah, I thought you would like it," Kunoichi said with a little chuckle. "Here just give me your-"
"Yeah!" Masamune then jumped into the soft king sized bed and sighed with delight.
"Luggage…" Kunoichi finished irritated. "I guess the maids will fix that…"
"You have maids!"
"Yup, why do think the rooms fit you?"
"Man, you're rich! Why didn't you tell us?"
"Because then people would only want to talk to me because of the money I have…Selfish people…"
"We were your friends before we even knew you were rich," Masamune said as he laid back.
"I know, I wasn't saying you guys were selfish." Kunoichi remembered she needed to show Yukimura his room still. "Uh… Masamune, you can stay in your room. I need to show Yukimura his room. I'll back for you when I'm done."
"Alright with me," Masamune said. Kunoichi nodded and headed out of the room and walked to a room next door to Masamune's. Kunoichi opened that door and entered with Yukimura following. It was the same as Masamune's but a bit different. The walls were red and the roof was white. The carpet was a mixture of beige and tan and the bed sheets were red and white.
"This is your room, Yukimura," Kunoichi said.
"Thank you," Yukimura smiled.
"No problem…Do you need help with anything?"
"No, it's alright, I got everything from here. I'll try not to mess up the bed like Masamune did."
"It's okay, my maids will just fix your bed when you start to eat breakfast tomorrow, so don't worry about it."
"Alright," Yukimura nodded.
"I'll be back. I just to have get Oichi and Masamune, then I'll come to you. I just want to let you look around your room before we go back downstairs."
"Thanks again Kunoichi," Yukimura replied. Kunoichi smiled back at him and she walked back to Oichi's room.
"Hey Oichi, are you ready to go downstairs?" Kunoichi asked.
"Yup and thanks for letting me sleepover Kunoichi!"
"No problem, now we have to get the boys." The two young teenagers walked to Masamune's room.
"Are you ready to go, Masamune?" Oichi asked.
"Yeah…" Masamune got of his bed. "Your house is awesome, Kunoichi. Did you see the view yet, Oichi?"
"No, let me see!" Oichi ran over to the window. "Wow…It's amazing…"
"Yeah, you guys, I still need to get Yukimura," Kunoichi reminded them.
"Oh yeah," Masamune said. Kunoichi went next door with Masamune and Oichi following.
"Hi Yukimura, are you ready to go downstairs?" Kunoichi asked.
"Yup, let's go," Yukimura replied. They started to walk downstairs.
"Now come on! I want to show you our TV in the living room!" Kunoichi said and grabbed their arms and started to run down the stairs. On the first floor, she turned left and ran into the very large living room. The carpet was beige, the couches were tan leather, and the couches nearest to the TV were black leather.
"Whoa…is that a plasma screen TV!" Masamune said pointing at the TV. Kunoichi's TV was a 50 inch plasma screen TV.
"Yeah, try not to drool over it." Kunoichi said annoyed.
"I wasn't drooling…" Masamune wiped his drool from the side of his mouth. "But I'm hungry…got anything to eat here?"
"Yeah…follow me to the kitchen." Kunoichi turned around and headed straight into the wooden floor kitchen with the others following. The kitchen was big and filled with cooking supplies, stoves, ovens, and all the cooking things you need. There was a table where you could sit in high chairs and another with just a normal height. Above the high table was a 20 inch flat screen TV. There was a lot of room of course. Also, at the end of the kitchen, was a screen door leading to the backyard. From the kitchen you could see all the greenery in the backyard and how really, really, really big it was. But they couldn't see all of it…They went into the kitchen, and Kunoichi's mom was making food already.
"Hey Mom," Kunoichi said.
"Hello Kunoichi, I see this is your friends." Kunoichi's mom said.
"Yup," Kunoichi signaled them to sit down on the high chairs. They sat at the table and Kunoichi's mom placed the food in front of them. There was teriyaki chicken, udon soup, miso soup, sushi, and hot tea.
"Thanks Mrs. Takeda," Oichi said.
"You're welcome Oichi," Mrs. Takeda said.
"I thought you had maids? Couldn't your maids just cook the food?" Masamune asked.
"Yes, but sometimes I want to cook the food and let the maids take a break." Kunoichi's mom replied. Masamune started chewing down and make that annoying swallowing sound.
"Masamune shut up!" Oichi screamed.
"But I can't help it! If the food is good, then I do the swallowing thing." Masamune tried to explain. Oichi rolled her eyes. Mrs. Takeda looked at Kunoichi and Yukimura.
"Kunoichi, do you have a boyfriend without telling me?" she asked.
"Huh? Mom, what are you talking about?" Kunoichi said confused.
"What is your name young man?" Kunoichi's mom said pointing at Yukimura.
"It's Yukimura Sanada…"
"Yukimura Sanada…why does that name seem some familiar…," Kunoichi's mom was in deep thought then finally said, "Kunoichi is Yukimura your boyfriend?"
"What!" she screamed.
"Yeah, we've been trying to tell her about that the day we met her." Masamune said. Oichi nodded. Kunoichi blushed.
"He's not my boyfriend, Mom. He's just my friend." Kunoichi complained. Kunoichi's mom just smiled and walked away.
"I wonder if that boy is the boy Kunoichi used to play with when she was younger… He really looks familiar…He even has the same name… My Uncle has done well…"
