School Problems, and a discovery
Katarina heard a noise, and opened one eye. She looked around but couldn't figure out where the noise came from, she walked over to her door and opened it, looked out and saw no one there
"What was that noise I heard, I could swore I heard something", she said closing the door
Chlarisa jumped and dodged the bullet that was aimed at her. The bullet did, however, graze her arm blood trikeled from the wound
One of the men looked up the stairs and had seen a door close, he grined
"You take care of her, I'll take care of the other", He said pulling his knife
Chlarisa saw this and tried to move, but another cough was heard and she stud still allowing the bullet to hit the wood
Again Katarina heard that 'cough' sound, this time though she was determined to find out what it was. She walked over to her door and noticed some movement behind it, she moved to the side and watched as the door opened up
Fear started filling katarina as she saw another person walk into her room, she never had this problem back in her home town and why where these thugs in her house?, she tried to move but slipped she hit the side of the door and it moved, she hit her head on the wall
She rubbed the back of head and looked around she saw a man infront of her holding a knife, she tried to step back but she was up against a wall. The man moved toward her and she side stepped, the door had moved just enough for her to dodge the guy's attack. She quickly made a turn around the door and ran downstairs
Chlarisa was having her own set of problem, the guy with the gun wouldn't let up and still tried to get her.
Katarina ran into the kitchen and saw the guy with the gun, despite the fear she had she ran up to him and was about to him in the knee when he turned and slammed the butt of his gun into Katarina's head. Katarina flew back and hit the ground, unconcious
How dare they!, Chlarisa said coming out of her hiding spot, she ran up to the guy and upper cuted him. Sending him flying through the air and hitting the ground adjacent to her little sister, the other guy came down the stairs and grabed the gun, but when he found that it was out of ammo. He cursed and ran out the door, his buddy followed soon after
Chlarisa ran over to her little sister, she was out of it. "Those bastards, this is the 3rd time they've come down here", He said picking up his little sisters unconcious body and carrying her to her room
She opened the door and did a quick scan to make sure no one was in there, she walked over to the bed and put her sister in bed. She put the covers over her sister then walked over to the door. She was about to close the door when a thought came to her, "Why did those two men want to talk to me, theres nothing I can tell them", she said then closed the door
Next day
Katarina woke up, it was a bright new day. Plus she wanted to practice a bit, she got out of bed and walked over to her clossest and put her uniform on. She opened her door and ran downstairs where she found Chlarisa fixing breakfest
"Kon'nich-wa Niisan!", Katarina said taking a seat at the table
Chlarisa looked over her shoulder and smiled, then turned back her cooking,She doesn't remember? That hit on the head must've cause her to lose that memory.. well I guess thats a good thing considering what had happened, she said to herself. She put a plate of amarican pancakes on the table, she noticed Katarina was wondering what it was. She chuckled
"Don't worry, there edible", Chlarisa said. Katarina nodded and took a bite, then smiled and ate the rest.
"Katarina, do you remember what happened last night?", she asked
"Last night?", Katarina said she placed her finger on her chin, then shook her head."No sorry, all I remember is going to bed"
"I see", Chlarisa said putting her head on her hands and thinking
Katarina finished and put her plate in the sink, then ran into the livingroom and put her skates on. "Im going now Niisan!", She yelled as she opened the door and ran out
Chlarisa walked over to the door and watched as her little sister went to school, she sighed. "After having a talk with the parents of those other 3 students... it appears they ran into the same problem as I did last night", she said then closed the door
Katarina skated down the street and toward school, along the way she meet up with Sakura who was also skating. They both stopped and greeted each other
"I heard the headmistress might want to talk to you today Katarina", Sakura said in an uncertain tone, "Becareful around her though"
Katarina smiled, "Don't worry im sure she just wants to ask me a few things seeing how I am still a new student", she said
"New or Not, she doesn't usually talk to students unless they've done a bad thing.. and as far as I know you havn't done a bad thing", Sakura said. Both them continued skating toward school and talking to each other about the different events that had been happening around town
They skated up to the building, and in. Katarina skated toward her locker and took her skates off, then she put her school shoes on and made sure they where in all the way. She grabbed her bag and ran for class, leaving Sakura behind
She ran down the hall and toward class, along the way she meet up with a few of her classmates. They stopped her and began to chat. They asked her about angelic layer and strangly she replied and told them things that, for starters, she shouldn't know because she had never played the game in the first place
"How does she know about the game if she never played it before?", Asked one of the students
"I don't know, yesterday when we asked her she knew nothing about the game.. now its as if she's been playing it all her life", Replied another student
Katarina opened the door,"Ohio!", she called out and several of the students said the same thing. She walked over to her desk, streached and then sat down and opened a book to read
"So, the runt is still here", came a voice from behind. Several students who where wondering what Katarina had been reading noticed where the voice came from.. and took a few steps back, apperently frightened
"I reconize that voice", Katarina said closing her book, "Nice to see you recovered from my kick Mireda"
Mireda grinned,"It was a cowards kick", she said
"Hmm cowards kick? Thats odd, I seem to remember you bleeding and then you ran off", Katarina said
"Shut up!", Mireda yelled, she walked up closer to Katarina and grabed her by the neck of her uniform and picked her up. Katarina noticed that Mireda was her size but not her grade.. Mireda was an 8th grader attending the middle school portion of Eriol Academy
"Arn't you a bit far from your class Mireda?", Katarina said calmly
Mireda grined mischiously,"Doesn't matter.. no school today anyway, however you little kids do have school so I decided to come by and get you back for what you did to me yesterday", she said
Sakura came in and saw Mireda, when she noticed that Mireda was holding Katarina by her uniform neck she ran over, "Leave her alone Mireda! She never did anything to you!", Sakura yelled
Mireda turned and looked Sakura,"Make me runt", she said looking back at Katarina
I can't understand a normal fight now and then but calling someone a run it uncalled for, Katarina said to herself
Mireda pulled her fist back and was about to punch Katarina when katarina jumped and put her hands on two desks, then kicked Mireda in the stomach with both legs. A small portion of her neck uniform ripped off as Mireda flew and hit the ground, Katarina walked over to her
"Look Mireda, I havn't done a thing to you so do me a favor... Leave... Me... Alone...", She said turning around and walking back over to her seat. Mireda was about to say something when she saw the sensei of the class walk by one of the door, but it seems the sensei didn't notice her
She got up and left. The other students looked at her then at Katarina
Sakura walked up to Katarina, "Arn't you going to report her?", Sakura asked
"Why?, it won't really do any good. Besides if she continues to bother me I'll continue doing what I did", Katarina said opening her book
"Uh huh... I dunno ever since Mireda joined this school all we've had where problems and the headmistress doesn't seem to care", Sakura said. Katarina blinked once,Interesting.. if thats true then parhaps theres more to this game than what meets eye.. parhaps the reason for those students being in the hospital is beccause of her, she said
The sensei came in and told the class to settle down, everyone returned to there seats and class began
Like the day before, Katarina was off day dreaming about what she did yesterday. The sensei sighed and walked over to her desk
"Suzuhara?", The sensei said.
Katarina didn't look at her
"SUZUHARA!", The sensei yelled
Katarina woke up, and looked at the sensei. "Ha... Hai?", She said in a nervous tone
The sensei sighed and pointed at the door, "Suzuhara please leave, I'll talk to you at lunch. Please go to the Headmistress's office", she said in an angry tone
Katarina sighed and lowered her head, then got up and grabed her bag and left
Sakura looked at Katarina, then noticed that the sensei was grinning mischivously
Katarina walked down the corridor and to the headmistress's office, she looked at the door then knocked.
"Come on Suzuhara", The headmistress said. Katarina was surprised, how did she know it was me?
She opened the door and saw the headmistress there. She came in and closed the door
"Suzuhara", The headmistress said
Katarina jumped and turned to face her,"Hai?"
"There are things I need to ask you", she said, "Starting with this.. how much do you know about Angelic Layer?"
