Gah! I have to apologise for this one. It didn't turn out as funny as I would have hoped, but oh well. It's just a genre I had to try. This one focuses around a normal day of High School for Ayame, Shigure and Hatori. Sorry for the lack of funny oO;

Random High School Drabble

"Shigure, pay attention." Hatori leant over the table and elbowed the sleeping one-day-to-be novelist in the ribs, causing him to open his eyes. Blinking, he wiped the drool on his face, and looked up at the teacher, and in about three minutes he felt himself getting drowsy yet again.

"Shigure!" Hatori hissed again, and again the novelist awoke.

"Is there some reason," Shigure's high school teacher stated, "That Mr. Sohma can't concentrate?"

Shigure had fallen asleep for the third time this lesson. The teacher looked at Hatori, who shrugged lightly, before banging her one metre ruler on the boys desk.

Shigure jumped. "I'M SORRY MUM, I'LL FINISH CALCULATING THE AMOUNT OF MATTER IN OUR CHICKENS!"

"Well, Shigure Sohma, while you're calculating the matter of chickens, you can answer the question on page 65."

The entire class sweat dropped.


"Man, that sucked." Shigure stated, crossing his hands over his chest and looking absently over at Aya, who like Yuki would in the future, had his very own fan club. The only difference was that Aya actually signed autographs for his fans.

Hatori shrugged. "It's your own fault for falling asleep." This was spoken in a monotone, as was everything that Hatori said, "So I'd advise you… SHIGURE! WAKE UP!"

Shigure jumped awake. Hatori's voice worked like happy gas. It made you not feel anything, and on occasions put one to sleep. Hatori hadn't noticed this.

"Gure-san! You look awful!" Aya said, now coming to join the two after signing his last autograph. "Stay up late?"

"Yeah." Shigure said, sighing. "Akito called."

This got eyebrows from both Ayame and Hatori. "And…?"

"And she was going on about fortune telling. She kept me up until 3 am last night just going on about how one day she'd have a puppy called Ralph, and how I'd be writing smutty romance novels."

"Wow!" Aya said, grinning, "You mean those stories will become actual novels? How cool!"

Hatori sweat dropped. "You mean… you read them… Aya?"

"Haven't you?"

Hatori had a sudden urge to hide under the table.


"I had a run in yesterday." Aya said finally, after a silence had become the pair. Yes, pair. Hatori had sulked off to the toilets to avoid being seen with Ayame and Shigure.

"A run in?" Shigure asked, his head in a plate of mashed potatoes, barely awaked.

"Yeah. With a girl."

"Did ya… you know…"

"Bonk her? You know I can't do that!" Ayame said, horrified.

Shigure sweat dropped.

"I didn't mean that, Aya. I meant did you change."

"Change clothes? Goodness, Gure-san! I'm not going to do that in the middle of the street!"

"No, I meant did you transform."

"Oh!… Transform into what?"

"INTO A SNAKE, STUPID!" Shigure erupted, standing up, now awake because of Aya's stupidity. The entire lunch room fell silent, and Shigure slowly sat down.

"You're a sly dog, Gure-san." Aya said, quick to take up a save. "Of course I snaked my way around her. I can make girls to anything."

All the girls in the room looked desperately at Aya for a minute, then recess resumed. Both Aya and Shigure sighed with relief.


In the next period, the trio had a dramatic monologue to perform. Of course, Aya did it as dramatically as humanly possible, and left the room in tears.

Aya's Monologue.

Ayame sighed, leaning against what he was portraying as a wall. He had his hair tied back in a pony-tail, as well as a woman's yukata.

"I don't believe it could happen," Aya said slowly, looking quite distraught, "I can't believe that I keep disappointing them… I can't keep going on like this! Maybe the tennis racquet is the only way…"

(The whole class sat confused.)

"But…" Aya said, sighing dramatically, standing and moving into the middle, looking both ways. "Perhaps… without her… there is no reason to live in this world…"

(It suddenly became painfully obvious for Hatori and Shigure who he was portraying, and they both blocked their ears before lift off, which came seconds later.)

"WORLD, FORGIVE ME, WORLD! GOMEN NASAI! GOMEN NASAI! FORGIVE ME, ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE DEGRADED WITH MY PRESENCE! PLEASE MAKE ME DIE A HORRIBLE AND PAINFUL DEATH, I JUST WANT TO DIE!" He paused, before making himself seem very small. "But… even if I say this… I don't have the guts to do it. I don't have the guts to jump off a building, or to pick up a knife… I don't have the confidence to do anything. That is why… that is why I started to wear these clothes. I felt… less… pressured this way. But… it seemed to make everybody unhappy…"

(Half the girls in the class were now in tears. Shigure sat in fits of giggles, while Hatori was looking mildly amused.)

"I just… want to leave the world."

Ayame bowed, and got an outstanding applause.


"This was a randomly productive day, wasn't it?" Shigure asked, grinning, swinging his hands – and his bag – from side to side as he kept in stride with Ayame and Hatori.

"You're right."

"I got an A+ for my monologue!" Aya said happily.

"Did you go and pester Ritsu for the info?" Hatori asked boredly, looking at Aya with a disapproving manner.

"No, I asked, and Ritsu was more than willing to hand it over."

"Yeah right. What'd you give him?"

"… Three dozen yukatas."

"Figures."


Sorry again for the lack of funny, but I just had to try it xD
