A.N: hello hello. Right now I'm listening to Meggie on the phone and she's yapping away, and she actually thinks I'm listening! It's really funny.

The Missing Sailor

Chapter 36

" Hanzo!" Emma jumped as a ruler was slapped against her desk. " Hanzo, you fell asleep during the mock finals!"

" oh...gomen nasai Tattori-sensei. Gomen." Emma said.

" Hanzo. This exam is going to save your Science grade. You fail this, you will repeat eighth grade!"

" I know. I know. I've just...I've just had a lot on my mind." Emma said.

" that's no excuse. Next time, your getting a detention!" she said before returning to the front of the room. Just then the bell rang and Emma was running into the hallways to get to her locker.

"Way to go Emma" Rini smirked. Emma slammed her locker door and looked at her pink headed friend.

" I don't understand why we have to review for finals now. It's only March!" Emma said. It had been three months since the dance. And it had been...interesting. First there had been a battle, where Emma gotten the star staff that Hoshiko was talking about, (A.N: don't worry, flash back ahead to explain that!) Then, they had been thrown into the feudal era thanks to Trista. That involved arguments with a stubborn Hanyou named Inuyasha, mostly with Emma. Amara beat up a lecherous monk many times, which was hilarious, and a bunch of other crazy antics. (A.N: okay. To get this story, read my story, Senshi in the Sengoku Jidai. It's a SM and Inuyasha crossover. I've gotten some pretty good reviews already.) Then in February, oh man that was interesting. Rini's 'boyfriends' from the past decided to come for a visit. And Katsuro didn't take that too well. Or Sam for that matter. ( A.N: that's another Missing Sailor story in the works. It's not up yet, but it will be soon.) And then Emma wanted to quit the basketball team but her father wouldn't let her. He made her wait out the season since he spent so much money to get her gear. She was pretty good, but sports weren't exactly compatible with her 'save the world' schedule. But basketball season was done, so that was good. But her grades were suffering. A LOT! The night before she had an all nighter with Josh who was trying to help her with her history. That's why her teacher yelled at her.

" I know, it stinks." Rini said. " Hey, I've gotta run to a student council meeting. I'll see you at lunch." Rini said.

" Okay. See ya." Emma said. Rini waved and took off for the student council room. Emma smiled and turned around, but she bumped into someone. Emma looked up and it was Sam.

" Hey." Sam said. " Where are you headed?"

" Well, now I have English. Why I am forced to take it, I don't know. I already know the friggin language." Emma said.

" Hey, it's the one class you are getting straight A's in." Sam said.

" Point taken." Emma said. " after that we have lunch."

" Okay." sam said.

" Hey Tsukino!" Sam turned around.

" Hey, Aki, Daisuke, Makoto."Sam said. Three guys came up.

" Hey, Sam can we talk for a sec?" Aki asked.

" Yeah. I'll be right back Emma." Sam said. The three guys took Sam a few yards ahead. Emma decided to put some stuff in her locker, but then she heard a bam. She turned and Sam was on top of Aki, punching the shit out of him. She slammed her locker shut and tried to pull Sam off.

" SAM! Sam! Sam stop it!" Emma screamed. She finally pulled Sam off Aki.

" Don't say anything like that about her you bastard!" Sam yelled. Emma was still holding him back.

" SAM!" Emma yelled. She turned his face to her. " Sam, what's going on?" Sam was beet red and had a vein popping on his forehead.

" Yeah that's right" Aki said wiping some blood from his lip. " Your little girlfriend will keep you in line. I don't know why you're with her at all. You gave up Sakura Takahashi for that little frizzy haired American! She's part of the side that bombed us in World War II! Oh she's pretty alright, but she's the enemy!"

" Listen to your watch buddy." Emma said. " I think it's ticking about four decades too slow!" Emma said, her voice laced with annoyance. " I am Japanese. Just like you. Just because my mother is American doesn't mean I am an enemy! I'm not just American and Japanese! I'm French, German, Hungarian, Serbian, Irish, Indian, British! You don't have to be born in a country to have the faith of your origins! I am a catholic Japanese American teenage girl! Look around you, me and my brother may be the only 'half bloods' in this school, but we're not the only ones in the world! My best friend is half Japanese! Her mother is American! Who knows, maybe there are more 'half bloods' around here, but they don't get mocked because they don't look American, or French, or African American for all we know! But just because I look different doesn't make me any less Japanese than the rest of you! Listen to my voice, I may not have a Japanese accent, but I have known the language since I was three! I lived in America most my life! So what! And in case you didn't pay attention to history class, Japan bombed America first, that's why we went into war, THAT's why America bombed Japan back. And if I'm mistaken, correct me, but THAT'S why you and your friends are downright racist! I have respect for every single person in this school that shows me some respect back! I suggest you think about whether or not you want respect from someone who could be your boss someday, or your brother in-law, or sister in-law or future wife or husband depending on what your life style is ( Emma heard some gasps and laughs when she said that)! Cause your going down the wrong road if you do!" Emma nodded, saying that she finished. Aki was silent. Suddenly the whole hallway started applauding. Emma didn't notice that so many people had gathered around for her little speech. Even her brother. And teachers! (A.N: just to let you all know, I would never have the guts to do that in real life. But, right there is a little life lesson. I hope you all take it to heart.) Emma blushed at all the people. Her english teacher Ms. Reynolds( who is American and engaged to a Japanese man, hahaha!) Put her hand on Emma's shoulder.

" Well said, Emma." She whispered in English. Emma smiled. Then she converted back to Japanese. " Okay all of you! Back to class! Mr. Tsukino. You and Aki go to the principal's." Sam sighed. He knew this wouldn't go well. Slowly Aki and Sam walked down the hallway. Emma could see that they were arguing. But, what did Aki say to Sam that made him so angry. He wouldn't punch someone for making a comment about race, he would make a huge speech like she just did. She was going to ask him about that later.

" Sam!" Emma called. Students had been permitted to go out side for lunch hour now, and Sam just walked out side. Sam saw her, who was sitting with Rini, Katsuro, Josh, Mina, Ami, and Serena under a tree. When Sam sat down. Then Rini slapped him across the face.

" What the hell was that for?" Sam yelled as he rubbed his stinging cheek.

" I don't know." Rini said.

" I did not deserve that!" Sam yelled. Then Emma slapped his other cheek.

" And you're going to tell us you didn't deserve that?" Katsuro asked, trying to hold back a laugh. Sam shook his head.

" Nah. I deserved that one."

" What the hell happened! I'm the one that gets into fights! Not you!" Emma yelled. Sam hung his head. " Sam get up! We need to talk!" Emma started to walk away. When she saw Sam wasn't following her she turned around again and sent glares that could burn a hole right through him. " What are you waiting for?"

" I suggest you go follow her. Or else she might come and get you herself. And as amusing that might be, I don't think she's in the mood." Katsuro snickered. Sam sighed and got up. She slowly walked over to Emma.

" Do you mind explaining?" Emma asked.

" Nothing to explain." Sam said.

" Bullshit. What did Aki say that made you want to beat the crap out of him?" Emma asked.

" Emma, if I wanted you to know, I'd tell you!" Sam said.

" Sam, I told you the deepest darkest secret of my life and you won't tell me why you got in a fight?" Emma yelled.

" It's because of your powers I'm not going to tell you. I saw what you did to Jakken and I don't want anyone else to be burned to a crisp!" Sam said.

" Hey, that little toad deserved it. He wasn't messing with just any weak human." Emma crossed her arms.

" Exactly, you aren't just some weak human. You have powers that can kill someone! And those powers shouldn't be wasted on scum like Aki." Sam said. Emma took a second to think about this. Then she took a deep breath.

" I'll tell you what. You tell me what Aki said, and I'll hold all of my anger off until my next battle. Okay?" Emma asked. Sam thought about it.

" Okay, but I'm going to write it down, and I'll lock you in the shed. And you can't read it until I say so." Sam said. Emma was going to protest but she held her tongue and nodded. " I'm going back to the tree to write it down. Then we'll walk over to the garden shed and I'll give you the note and I'll hold the door closed while you read it.

" Okay." Emma agreed. Sam nodded. He ran over to the tree, but brought back Katsuro. " what's this?"

" Emma, you're stronger than you look." Katsuro said. Emma shrugged and followed Sam to the school's garden shed. He gave her the piece of paper and Emma walked into the shed. Sam closed the door and he and Katsuro leaned against it.

" Okay Emma, you can read it." Sam called in.

" WHAT?" Emma screamed. " HE SAID THAT?" She started pounding on the door. " SAM LET ME OUT! THAT NO GOOD DIRTY PERVERTED PIG! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM WITH MY BARE HANDS! I SWEAR I WILL! SAM LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!"

" oh my god!" Katsuro yelled. " She's strong! I'd hate to be you if this relationship doesn't work out! I'd be more afraid of her than her brother!"

" Exactly why I'm making this relationship last as long as possible!" Sam said.

" LET ME OUT! I'M GOING TO KICK HIS ASS!" Emma yelled. Then she started yelling in English.

" What is she saying?" Katsuro asked. Sam had learned most of his English already.

" Believe me, you don't want to know!" Sam said. And Emma started screaming and pounding for a good ten minutes before she lost her voice and tired herself out.
