Total-Insanity519: YO! Sorry it took so long to make this damn chapter, but here it is! I've been so damn busy since school started to write, but since I got grounded from everything but writing (which my parents don't seem to give a damn about), I finally gave myself enough time to type out this, and the almost finished 8th chapter of this story. Not to mention the next chapter of my Naruto story. So anyway, here's the next chapter of "Caught on the Rebound"
Kagami rung Misao's doorbell, and wasn't too surprised to find that as soon as she pressed the button, the door open and Misao blasted out the door to tackle her into the grass.
"Hiiragi!"
"Get off me!"
As Kagami struggled to push Misao off, but failed since the hyperactive girl had her arms pinned to her side in a death-hug, Ayano came out of the door with a calm smile on her face.
"Hello Hiiragi-san." She said happily.
"Minegishi-san, please get this thing off of me." Kagami said with a sweat-drop.
"Misa-chan, I have cookies." Ayano said, holding up a bag. Misao jumped up and ran to Ayano, who gave her the bag.
"Are you seriously that easy to bribe?" Kagami asked angrily as she stood up, and brushed herself off.
"Do you want me to tackle you again?" Misao asked innocently as she stuffed her face with Ayano's cookies.
"No thanks, I'm good." Kagami said and walked into the house with her friends.
"So Hiiragi, what do you wanna do?" Misao asked as she threw away the now empty bag into the trash.
"Hey, this was your idea, I just agreed to come." Kagami said in an irritated voice.
"Geez, your in a bad mood," Misao said with a childish pout.
"Maybe it had something to do with you tackling me as soon as I came?" Kagami replied.
This made Misao be quiet.
"So what do you want to do?" Kagami asked.
"I don't know… How about we study?" Misao suggested.
"You mean me and Ayano study while you laze around and complain about how long we're taking?" Kagami said with a smile.
"Maybe." Misao said with a smirk.
"Fine." Kagami said, and followed Misao to her room. Just as they entered, Kagami's cell phone rang. She picked it up, and flipped it open.
"Hello? Oh, hey Konata… I can't, I'm already at Misao's house… No, I won't just ditch them… Because they're my friends! I don't care if you need the answers for homework… It serves you right for not trying! I swear if you tell them I'll… NO!"
And with that Kagami hung up.
"Geez Konata, you're such a pain in the-"
"What did the midget want?" Misao asked.
"She wanted me to go over to Miyuki's house for a sleepover, and so she could copy my homework. Can't say I'm surprised though." Kagami sighed.
"Oh well." Misao said with a shrug, and pulled out her books.
As time passed, the girls continued working. Much to Kagami's surprise, Misao actually kept going for an entire hour before calling it quits and turning on the T.V.
"Wow Misao, I'm impressed. You usually just read the first sentence and stop." Kagami said with a smirk.
"Yeah, well Ayano told me that since it's almost time for college, that if I wanted to go, then I had to get good grades." Misao said with a smile.
"Oh, I guess that makes sense… Wait a minute! I've telling you that the entire year!" Kagami said indignantly.
"Yeah, but the way you say it is boring." Misao said with a smile. Kagami sighed.
"I seriously don't know why I hang out with you." Kagami said in a disappointed voice.
"Because you love me!" Misao said, jumping at Kagami, who was ready this time, and side stepped the girl, sending her crashing out the door.
"Oh my, do you think she's alright?" Ayano asked worriedly.
"She'll be fine." Kagami said waving her hand.
The waited for a few seconds, and then heard Misao call "I'm okay!"
"See?" Kagami said with a smirk. Misao walked back in. She was still a bit dizzy, but quickly shook it off.
"So what do you want to do now?" Kagami asked as she put away her things.
"Wanna play hide and seek? My house is big enough for it." Misao suggested.
"What, are you in first grade?" Kagami asked.
"Actually, I think that sounds fun." Ayano said happily. Kagami sighed.
"What makes Ayano so hard to disagree with?" Kagami asked quietly. She reluctantly agreed. Misao ran off, dragging Ayano by the hand.
"I take it I'm it!" Kagami yelled after her. She grumbled to herself, and began counting to 100.
After she finished, she walked out to see all the lights in the house were off.
"You've gotta be kidding me!"
Kagami stepped out and began looking around downstairs.
"This is such a kid's game." Kagami grumbled as she looked around blindly in the dark.
"How the heck am I supposed to find you in this?" Kagami yelled angrily. She only got angrier when no answer came back.
"Am I at least allowed to turn them on?" She yelled. Still no answer.
"I'll take that as a yes." Kagami said with a triumphant smirk. She flipped a switch, but nothing happened. She flipped it on and off again. Still nothing. She tried a different room. Nothing.
"Crap. The power's out." Kagami began to curse Misao in her head for shutting off the power, but then it occurred to her, that the girl probably didn't even know where the power was, let alone how to turn it off. She sighed, and guessed that she'd just have to find Misao and Ayano in the dark.
"Hey guys! Where are you? In case you haven't noticed, the power's out!" Kagami calling, hoping the others would respond. Nothing happen.
"Damn." Kagami muttered angrily. She walked around for half-an-hour, calling out for them, trying to find them in the pitch-blackness. She kept looking around for awhile, and as she did, she got the uneasy feeling that someone was following her.
"Probably just Misao trying to scare me." Kagami told herself. She continued walking and she heard a small muffled crash behind her. She turned around.
"Misao? I swear if that's you." Kagami said angrily, groping around in the dark.
As she did so, she her a small scream come from another room.
"Misao? Ayano?" She said suddenly, scrambling back towards the scream. What she saw when she found the place made almost throw up.
Blood.
A large puddle of it was on the kitchen floor, with a butcher knife in the middle of it. Kagami wearily stepped around the blood, trying to find whichever person hadn't screamed. She heard another muffled crash near her, and she jumped, scrambling backwards. She felt her feet step into the blood. And even in her frightened state, she noticed something off, but she couldn't quite place it. Forgetting about the strange noise, she bent down, and dipped her finger in the red stuff.
"This doesn't feel like blood." She noticed. She stuck her finger in her mouth, and took it out with an angry glare.
"Ketchup. Misao, you better hope the power doesn't come back on, 'cause when I find you I'm gonna kill you for real!" She yelled angrily, realizing she'd been tricked.
Kagami muttered angrily to herself as she walked through the house, looking for the garage. She found it, and fumbled around in the dark, looking for the power box. She found it after ten minutes of groping around on the walls, and she flipped the switch that must have turned off the power. Sure enough, as soon as she flipped it, the garage light came back on. Through the house the lights came back on. She now returned to the living room, and found Misao hiding rather badly behind a couch. Kagami approached her angrily, and picked her up by her collar.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" She roared in Misao's face.
"I thought it would be funny." Misao said with a nervous shrug.
"FUNNY?! What makes it funny when you think you see one of your best friends's blood splattered around the kitchen in pitch black?! I was so damned scared that I almost took the knife and started swinging at anything that moved! I almost threw up, because I thought you'd been killed!" Kagami yelled angrily. When Misao didn't speak, she dropped her, and walked out angrily without another word.
"Oh my," Ayano said, as she appeared out of nowhere, "I thought Hiiragi would be angry about that." She said worriedly.
"Oh well, she'll calm down soon enough." Misao said with a shrug. She got up and headed for her room, but Ayano grabbed her arm.
"What is it Aya-chan?" Misao asked.
"Don't you think we should clean up the mess you made in the kitchen?" Ayano asked.
"Oh yeah." Misao said with a laugh, and headed for the kitchen to mop up the ketchup.
………
"Stupid Misao. I worry my ass off about her, and it turns out it was all a prank. Freaking idiot." Kagami cursed under her breath at Misao as she walked down to the train station alone. She caught the train and waited, trying to read to calm herself down, like she always did whenever something pissed her off. By the time the train stopped, she had settled down, but was still angry at Misao. She pulled out her cell phone. She dialed a number quickly, put it up to her ear, and waited for someone to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Konata? I changed my mind. I'm coming over to Miyuki's house right now."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Just tell Miyuki, alright? I'll see you guys in a little while."
"See ya Kagamin!" And Konata hung up the phone.
Kagami sighed as she put her phone away.
"Damn it. I don't think I can put up with Konata tonight. But it's not like I have much of a choice now."
And with that, Kagami started to make her way towards Miyuki's house.
