Shanks for all of the wonderful reviews and surprise views we had! I like, died so hard on the inside. :D SO, thank you thank you thank you thank you! It meant a whole lot.
Lemme just say, this probably isn't as funny as our past, but I promise that the upcoming chappies will make it up! (trust me. I reread it over and over and I pretty much peed in my pants)
Shads, they didn't need to know that.
Oh hush, it's okay, Kits! They'll keep it to themselves... I hope...
Aywho, DISCLAIMER: I don't own FruBa. Only Sam and Maria. (I love these two characters. :)
"So... what are our scores?" Sam asked, biting her bottom lip. She had a really bad habit of either biting her thumb or her lip when she was nervous or thinking hard. There were only a few cases where her lip started bleeding from all of the biting.
"Ms. Samantha," the wolf flinched, hearing her full name, "Maurice Moone, you have passed the test with a 97%. You had missed three questions, but that is still really good! So of course, you'll be finishing up your 1st year of high school in group A. Ms. Maria Amber Nite, I'm sorry, but you almost passed. You were at a 64.9% while the grade that would allow you in at least group F was a 67%."
Maria's eye started to twitch repeatedly. Sam quickly thanked Mrs. Harrington and swiftly pulled the mad girl out of the school range.
"I wasn't able to go into high school by like, 2.1 percent! What the hell?! So freaking close," the young girl raged and kicked a tree, "Ow ow ow!" She held onto her foot that hit the tree trunk.
"Yo yo, calm down! It's alright!" Sam tried over and over again to comfort the fox.
*poof*
A pissed off looking fox growled and yipped at the tree, cursing at it for hurting her... paw. "It's not alright! I failed! I mean, I didn't know more than half of the test!"
"Well, at least you tried!"
"I already graduated middle school! I don't want to go back!"
"Then just stay home with Shigure. Maybe he can bring you to the Sohma place and you can meet Momiji earlier than Tohru and I. Wouldn't that be fun?" Sam suggested.
…
"Thank gosh I failed that test," Maria gave a cheeky grin, "Wait, what about Akito?"
Man, her mood changed fast. Sam thought, shocked.
"Well, Akito is a hot evil person. So you'll... wait... mother of chocolate! You're right! Man, we gotta think... maybe Hatsu and Momo or Momo and Hatori will visit Shigure! Meaning, they will visit you as well!"
"Momo?"
"Momiji of course!" Sam gave a silly grin.
Shaking her head, Maria giggled and started walking back to Shigure's house. Sam followed, her brain was tired from all of the work she did on the test. It seemed as if the two finished their tests before school ended, so they didn't go home with the trio.
By the time the two girls arrived at home, they noticed that Shigure wasn't anywhere to be seen. Only then, Maria saw a note stuck to the door. It stated that Shigure was out with Ayame and Hatori, supposedly having 'man time.'
"Since Shigure's out, I guess I can reheat the pizza, seeing how it's almost time for the three stooges to come back from school!" Maria chirped, as she skipped to the kitchen.
"Maria, I have a question that's been bugging me for ages..." Sam said, as she checked to make sure her drawings on the walls were okay.
"Hai?"
"Why do you like Naruto so much?"
"I dunno," the fox confessed before placing the back of her hand on her forehead, "It was just like fate brought us together!"
A sweat dropped on Sam's face, as she sighed at her dramatic friend. Sometimes, Maria's acting skills got to the best of her, making her over exaggerate on her feelings.
"Can we cosplay?" Maria asked, all of a sudden.
"What do you think, bro? Hell to the yeah! But where are we going to get Naruto headband thingies?"
Maria whipped out two Naruto headbands from her back, "We're in anime, sis! Anything can happen!"
"Touche," the wolf muttered, taking the blue headband that had a swirly circle on it. She carefully tried putting it on her head, but it just fell right down her nose, "By the way, what's with the swirly circle thingy?"
The copper-haired girl forgot that Sam knew nothing about Naruto, so she replied, "It means that you are from the Hidden Leaf village. Take note that there are 5 main villages: the Sand, Leaf, Mist, Rock, and Cloud."
Sam shook out of her trance and stared at Maria, "What d'ya say?"
Sighing, Maria repeated herself, only to gain the same reply. She just ignored when the wolf asked again, carefully placing the band correctly on her nee-chan's head. Grabbing from her bag, Nite pulled out an outfit that looked like it was for Sasuke. She threw it at Sam who caught it quickly. The black-haired girl ran upstairs and was going to change.
Downstairs, Maria brought up another costume. This outfit looked like it was for Gaara. The fox squealed and she quickly ran into the bathroom. After finishing dressing up, which wasn't really that hard, she pulled her hair into a high ponytail. Being satisfied with how she looked, she put heavy eyeliner around her eyes, making her look as a female Gaara. She beamed, feeling good at how she looked like. She fixed her bangs a bit before placing a Sunagakure headband across her forehead.
Sam creept down the stairs, wearing the attire she was given. She spiked her hair a bit at the back and parted her bangs in the center, showing off the Konohagakure symbol. She slowly tiptoed behind her friend and yelled with a silly grin, "I LOOK LIKE A FREAKING BAWS!"
"WOAH MY FREAKING GIZZLE PANTS!" Maria jumped up against the roof.
*poof*
The fox formed Maria fell down with a crash. Whimpering, the silver-eyed girl rubbed the top of her head with her paw, cursing at her friend.
Laughing as if she were Beyond Birthday, the wolf picked up animal and smirked, "Don't break down the house while Shigure's out, little one. Besides, don't you remember me saying that it's only Kyo who breaks down houses? He's like the big bad kitty!"
Glaring lightly at the girl, Maria muttered, "Well you're the one who scared me. If I had brought this house down, I would have blamed it on you, you big bad wolf."
"Oh, don't be like that!" Sam playfully dropped the fox.
Hissing, the red-orange animal continued glaring at her friend. She was slightly upset that her good work on herself had been a bit messed up. When Maria turned back into a human, she finalized her appearance again and sighed at the giggling girl.
"We're home!" a cheery voice called at the front door.
Sam's smile grew wider as she skipped over to the trio.
"Sasuke doesn't skip!" the red-haired girl sighed, giving a small grin as she walked behind Sam.
The wolf bowed, showing the three into the house. Tohru 'oohed' and 'aahed' at the drawings that were hung up. Kyo followed his nose and practically drooled at the pizza that was sitting on the table.
"Why are you wearing these... unusual... clothing?" Yuki asked, seeing what the girls were wearing.
Sam breathed in air before replying, "Well, it all started off when I asked Maria why she liked Naruto. Then she told me how it was fate. So, Maria wanted to cosplay because she just wanted to because she cool like dat, bro. Anywho, then I asked her where she could get headband and all out of her butt, she whips out these headbands that were clean! I mean, what things that come out of bums are-"
"TOO MUCH INFORMATION!" Maria interrupted.
The wolf chuckled before continuing, "Anyroad, we dressed up and all of a sudden, then Tohru yelled that you guys were here. You asked us why we were dressed-"
"Okay. That's enough. Thank you, Ms. Moone." Yuki gave a small smile.
"Dou itashimashite!" Sam grinned with her eyes closed.
Hmmm, the wolf thought to herself, I may have given a bit too much. Oh well! I'm Sasuke Sam! I'm cool and awesome at anything I do!
Sam's grin grew bigger the more she thought. Boredom got Maria thinking on what she might do next: throw a shuriken at Sam, or make an awesome hand sign, or do some cool tricks, or maybe start making tales of how she beat monsters and other bad people who harmed the Hidden Sand village!
Kyaaaaahahaha! I love Gaara. Aw I got his gourd! I wish I could control the sand for real, though. Hmm. Maria twirled at her red hair.
Maria crouched down by a pile of sand that was by the house. How it was there, she had no idea.
…
"Ah! You damn wolf! Who do ya think you are throwing those things at me!" screamed Kyo, who bounded on the tree with real-life shurikens holding him up.
"Hehehe," Sam tried to hold her laughter in but failed, "BAHAHAHAHAHA! Look at you! You poor kitty! You're stuck on the tree! Poor thing." She started laughing so hard that she fell and started rolling on the floor.
At the same moment, Maria finished her experiment right by Kyo. "Sand coffin." she said in such a soft deadly voice, that it could have crept the heebie jeebies out of Sam if she weren't laughing so hard. That same second, no one knew how Maria did it without touching it, all of the sand had covered Kyo.
Yuki, who couldn't resist, burst out laughing like never before, but Tohru just lightly smiled. Although, she was still concerned for the feline.
"Aww! What happened? That's not how it was supposed to go. The sand was supposed to kill him, but why's he still alive?" the fox put her finger on her chin and tilted her head slightly.
Everyone, with the exception of Sam who was still rolling on the floor, froze and stared at her.
"Well, that is my dear and beautiful imouto! Always trying to kill people. Be sure not to be on her bad side or you all will be sorry!" Sam snickered, wagging her bum which surprisingly held a wolf tail.
All of a sudden, Kyo transformed into a cat, since Tohru tried untying him, but she accidentally fell onto him. After hearing the deadly warning, Kyo ran off into the house, a bit scared of the two girls.
"Well, we can sure say that Kyo was being one heck of a scaredy cat!" Shigure chucked, appearing from the woods, "now we shall go inside for tea."
What on earth is behind that smile of hers?! Kyo shivered thinking about Maria's devious smile, She looked so innocent, but what if she gets real mad? Could that damn Sam be telling the truth that Maria would be a killing machine? Man, I was trying to handle that damn wolf, but now I have to try to handle two freaking animals? Just my luck!
"I'll make the tea and reheat the pizza that you guys made!" Tohru skipped to the kitchen, a smile plastered on her face.
"Well now, why don't you help her set the tea, Yuki?" Shigure said with his, do-it-now voice.
"Fine." stumped off the rat.
"Now then, I heard that you didn't pass the test. Is that correct, Maria?" Shigure turned his gaze onto the fox.
"Yeah, I failed it, so now I guess I'm back a grade. I don't know what to do! I don't want to go back to middle school because I already graduated that!" Maria whined slightly, trying to keep her temper down. She was still mad that she missed the school year by a few percentages.
"Well, you can always help me out around the house! Yes yes! You can entertain me while I-"
Shigure never finished his sentence because Sam whacked him hard behind his head, "You will not act pervertish to my dear imouto! If I find that you're harassing her, I'm going to make sure you will pay for it!"
"The world hates me." Shigure overdramatically started crying.
"Ugh, anyways, I'm kind of sad that I wasn't able to go to school with Sam. Although, I do hope that I get to see some more zodiacs here!" the fox smiled.
"You most likely will, seeing how Hari and Momiji come to visit by once in a while. Oh! The mention of school reminds me... Before I left you guys to go back to the house, I was able to check yours and Sam's size. I didn't know that Maria didn't pass, but I still went out! So, I figured that I'd just buy your school uniforms! I quickly went to the school store and yes! I got one female and one male outfit, seeing how Sam isn't one for female attire," Shigure giggled.
He quickly ran up the stairs and returned back. Before he could reach Sam, Maria grabbed and pulled him out of the house.
"You should give me the male uniform. I know that if Sam was to be seen in a male's outfit, she'd be categorized as a crossdresser! People will make fun of her! I don't want that to happen! So, please?" Maria stretched her hand out to the male outfit.
"You're such a sweetie!" Shigure gave the girl the male uniform and pinched her cheeks.
"No. Don't touch me." the fox huffed, swatting away his hand.
Returning back, Shigure stood in front of the brown-eyed girl with a huge grin on his face.
Looking curious on what Shigure was holding behind his back, Sam stayed leaning against the wall. She wouldn't be surprised at the uniform, because she's seen Yuki and Kyo wear it almost all the time. Mostly Yuki, though.
"Well here is your uniform, Sam!" the dog handed her the clothes, with a grin on her face.
"What…the…hell…"
SOOOOO... yeah! The next chapter will be up sooner or later! I mean... yeah. It'll be here before you know it. :)
Thanks for all of the continued support! We appreciate it so so very much!
