Chapter 12
Disclaimer : I don't own Soulcalibur Hmph !
' Hey, why isn' t my alarm clock ringing ? Oh well, that's just another reason to not get out of my bed. And it's so warm, I wonder why ? I'm usually warm but I never felt so ... protected. Hey ! I can feel a tuff of hair tickling my forehead. What is that ... ? '
" Aaaggggghhhhhhhh ! Jock - head pervert ! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED ! GET OUT ! " Talim's yell was strong enough to wake the unwakeable Yunsung up and actually make him topple over the bed. Talim was still slighty in shock and blushing like crazy when she realized the warmth she felt was from cuddling up to Yunsung.
Yunsung and Talim both had a slighty shocked and blank look on their face, but then they remembered the day before. After the battle, the house was burned down to almost nothing so the Hong family had to find somewhere elseto live. Then Talim thought of the idea of letting them stay at her house but was afraid of her father's response.
Luckily for her, when she sneaked quietly through her house, she found a letter addressed to her on the kitchen table. It was from her father saying that he had to stay a couple of weeks because there was a problem in the planes so she had to stay at the Hong's house for another while.
She jumped for joy at this and then realized then just how tired she was. Everybody was worn out from the fight so they quickly went to search for something to sleep in.
Mina and Hwang slept in Sanput's room while Talim just fell on top of her bed and fell asleep. She figured that Yunsung probably instinctively followed her into her room since they always slept in the same bed anyway.
Talim looked around and also saw ... Lynette ! " Lynette ! What are you doing here ? Aren't your sisters gonna be worried ? "
She started shaking Lynette to wake her up. After a couple of minutes, her eyes slowly opened. Lynette said groggily, " Don't worry. When I went back to get the weapons, I left a note saying I was going out and I might be staying out so they shouldn't worry. "
Lynette was awake now and had a strangely serious look on her face. " What makes me scared is that when I did a quick scout of the area where the 2 assassins were last night, there was no trace of them. I figure that I better stay with you guys for awhile since they might come back. We might as well try to stick together. "
The other two nodded in agreement. " Wait here, I'll go call my sisters. " and then she flashed out her silver cellphone. After she left the bedroom, Talim and Yunsung sweatdropped.
" Where the heck does that girl get all that expensive stuff ? "
" Well she did say she was rich right ? "
" I guess your right. " Yunsung then started to smile.
After a while, they burst out in full laughter. Lynette came in and said happily, " Well, my sisters are on the case and they said that we shouldn't worry. " Talim and Yunsung sighed in relief and then looked at the clock. It read ... 7:30 !
They only had a half hour left so clean up, get dressed, eat breakfast, and get to school ! " Yunney ! Go wake up Mina and Hwang ! You guys managed to save your uniforms right ? Hurry up and get changed then come downstairs. Lynette come with me ! " yelled Talim and everyone split apart.
The girls went into the bathroom. " Lynette did you buy a uniform yet ? "
Lynette thought and nodded a no.
" OK. We can deal with this. Here, try my extra pair of the uniform. " and they both hastily changed. After seeing that the uniform fit Lynette ... exactly, they both went to brushing their hair.
Lynette pulled her soft hair back into pigtails and Talim put her hair in ponytails but left the brooch on. She turned to Talim.
" You know, that brooch looks really nice on you. "
" Thanks. " said Talim quietly and Lynette smiled happily.
" Come on Talim, we have to make breakfast for the others. " and the two girls went downstairs.
Back in the other room, Yunsung was trying to no avail.
" Come on you two, hurry and wake up ! We have to go to school ! "
Yunsung screamed but neither woke up. He then went into the bathroom and came out with a bucket of cold water.
" I didn't want to soil Mr. Sanput's bed but you leave me no choice. " and he threw the water on them, finally waking them up.
They jolted up and glared at Yunsung angrily until they realized where they were and looked at the clock. 7:45 . " Oh shi- " they both yelled and ran into the bathroom.
A minute later, Yunsung heard a scream and saw Hwang getting throw out the bathroom.
" Ohhh. You perveeeerrrttttt. I barely splashed any water on you so why did you have to go to the bathroom ? " smiled Yunsung slyly.
Hwang started to blush and then threw Yunsung's uniform to him. He smiled once more then stopped. They both stripped down to their boxers and put on their uniform. Mina walked out of the bathroom with her long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and her trademark headband on. " Come you guys, we have to hightail it out of here. " The other two nodded and all 3 rushed downstairs.
As they got closer, they could only see chaos. Smoke and food was everywhere, but strangely, the girls were still clean. " Come on you guys, we don't have time for breakfast. We just have to settle with these, now we have to go. " and Talim threw them all a piece of buttered toast.
They all put their slice in their mouths and put their shoes on. They ran out of the house towards Calibur High. Only 2 more minutes. 1 more minute and they saw the front gate. Only 30 more seconds and they were on campus.
Mina and Hwang split up from the group and then Yunsung did. Talim and Lynette ran as fast as their short legs could take them and they arrived in class just as the bell rang.
" Whew ! " They both sighed in relief until the teacher appeared behind them and put his had on each of their shoulder, scaring them in the process.
They both gave a little yelp and turned around, smiling sheepishly.
" Talim, " he said ominously, " thank you for escorting our new student to her class. " then he smiled. Talim walked to her seat and flashed a smile to Ivy who just nodded... kind of.
Lynette wrote her name on the board and bowed. " My name is Lynette Cepheus and I hope you will take care of me. " she flashed one of her cutest smiles and won all the guys over but made all the girls her enemies, except for Talim and Ivy ... maybe ... but she always looks angry so who could tell ? But Cassandra was also there, smirking evilly.
" Welcome to our class. I am the homeroom teacher Mr. Raphael Sorel. " and shook hands with her.
Back in Yunsung's class, all the girls were the same as always, except for Sophitia who seemed distracted by the new male transfer student. Yunsung was talking to Xianghua and Kilik.
" Hey you guys, my house kind of burned down so you guys can't go train there anymore. But if you're looking for me, I will be at shorty's house. " They both responded with a, " What ! " and were looking at Yunsung unbelieving until Yunsung smiled and scratched the back of his head which indicated that he was nervous and that he was telling the truth.
After sitting in silence, Kilik tried to lighten the mood. " So who is this ' shorty ' you're living with. I presume it's a girl. " and earned a blush on Yunsung's face which made him laugh.
The teacher came in and settled them all down. He was one of the scariest teachers in the entire faculty team and was rumored to be Ivy's father. " Get out of here. The bell is about to ring. "
" Yes Mr. de Leon. " responded the class and the bell rang.
The school day passed quickly until they came to lunch. Talim and Lynette were helping Yunsung dodge the crazy school girls and Mina was threatening to beat up every girl up that gave Hwang " the look ".
Strangely enough, even though they were in different years and there were 3 lunch periods, all 5 of them had the same lunch.
" Come on Yunne- I mean jock-head, stop hiding behind me and Lynette or else I will call you ' the ' nickname. "
" Fine. " said Yunsung stubbornly. After Talim and Yunsung realized how girls would get jealous when Talim would call Yunsung " Yunney ", she promised to not call him that if he would not depend on her and Lynette to protect him.
" Hwang come on. Hurry up ! If we don't hurry, you'll be smothered by that crazy-hugging-big breasted-freak. And besides, everyone else will get the good lunches. " Mina dragged Hwang through the lunchroom towards the lunch line.
After they got their lunches, the 3 teens all sat down at one of the tables. Mina was going to get a hotdog, Hwang was waiting for a slice of pepperoni pizza, Yunsung got macaroni and cheese, Talim got a muffin and peach yogurt, and Lynette wanted to try something interesting so she got the mystery meat.
" Lynette my friend, you are one of the bravest people I know. I didn't even go near that thing in my first year. " stated Yunsung after he gave her a pat on the back.
" Well, I always like to try new things. Hey you guys want to try with me ? " asked Lynette.
" Yeah right. As if I'll even go near that thing. "
" Why ? What's wrong red-head ? Afraid ? " said Talim mockingly.
" Never ! Come on Lynette, give me the plate. "
They each cut a small piece and stuck their forks in it. " On 3 ok ? " said Talim and they all nodded.
" 1, 2, 3 ! " and they all put the piece in their mouth. Mina dropped her plate and ran to them, waving her arms frantically.
" NNOOOOOO ! " she yelled.
" DON'T SWALLOW IT ! " but she was too late. They all swallowed and in 3 seconds, they all fainted.
Mina slowed down and tiredly said, " Damn. I should have warned them. Since I'm a senior, I already know the mystery behind the meat. Oh well, come on Hwang, help me carry them to the nurse's office. "
He nodded and carried Yunsung and Talim while Mina carried Lynette. At the nurse office, there was once again another problem.
" Sir and Miss, how many patients do we have here ? "
Mina and Hwang showed her the three unconscious teenagers.
" Oh my, this is going to be a problem. We have only 2 beds. "
Mina grinned evilly. " It's ok, two beds is all we need. " and she went and put Lynette in one and instructed Hwang to put Yunsung and Talim on the other.
" We'll come back for them after school ok ? " she asked the nurse and she nodded.
The rest of the afternoon passed quickly. It was about 2:30 when Talim first fluttered awake. But there was one problem. An ominous shadow lurked closer and closer to the bed. Talim finally woke up. " What are you doing ? " she screamed at the shadow.
In another classroom, Cassandra was searching around when Sophitia walked in.
" Ummm, sister dear. What are you doing on the floor ? "
Cassandra looked up and smiled sheepishly. " Ummm. I kind of lost the key item for our revenge. Hehehehe. "
Sophitia looked shocked. " Cassandra ! How could you lose it ! Come on. We need to go. That thing is dangerous ! "
YUP YUP ! CHAPTER 12 DONE ! Whoa, intense. What has Cassandra unleashed ? Who has Talim screaming at ? Ok, ok. I know I led you to a cliffie but doesn't that make you want to read more ? Please Review !
