My Sassy Girl
Chapter 22
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I wish I did, then I probably would have offed Sasuke. Ehh.. Whatever.
It's my first time ever at this bus stop in Sobu-line.
"Hey hey hey...We have to catch that bus! Run!"
After shaking me violently, a golden thing *Whooshes~* from front of my eyes, Sigh... can someone tell Ino, a thing with wheels and metal, isn't made to be outrun by us.
"Ahhh..." and I had to follow her too..
.
"Sir this goes toward Chiba city right?" Ino asks the driver, when we finally leaps towards it... okay runs towards it.
"You have to catch the bus on the other side for Chiba city." he answered amused.
I turned to glare at my company, who was trying to run back to the side embarrassingly... " -_-;; You said you've ridden the bus here a lot."
"Shut up! It's a green light..." Again she took my arm… "Run!"
"Ughh...Run again?"
That's right. She and I were putting on quite a show at a bus stop which neither of us had ever been to. Every time a bus came she ran and yelled "Sir this goes to Chiba city right?" I just had to follow her and run when she told me to run… ^_^;
So why did we suffer like this instead of taking the subway as usual?
About the subway...-_-; Today somethings happened that I'd remember the scenes of for the 'rest of our life' and also some other thing that would make me not ride with the she devil for the 'rest of my life'.
Like our all outings on Wednesday, we took the subway this morning at rush hour. It was absolutely mobbed… Carnage, So you know the drill. Queues of anxious commuters and guys yelling incoherently about the doors… yeah.
I knew today was different despite the usual smell of bad breath and shower gel, the crowd was a little tetchy. Ino and me managed to squeeze on, her back on my front side… its not that kind of story ya' pervs. So yeah I was wary of the crowd so I held her In my arms protectively… nothing else.
We were barreling along between stations, facing towards the door, when Ino nudged me in the arm to nod at our right side, her eyes fixed at something. Barely able to move my head, I turn my head and look to the right.
.
.
What I see there chills me to my very core.
.
.
.
About three-four feet away, there's a boy standing to the side wall of the door. Must be 17 or 18 years old, he was truly hemmed in, arms locked to his side, his head like the end of a sausage poking out of a hot dog…. And the look on his face is of one sheer terror.
Ino and me locked eyes once, gave a understanding nod to each other and then fixed our eyes to the boy in anticipation of what will happen next….
The boy's eyes are wide, His nostrils flared. He's now moving the top of his mouth in a circular motion and frantically crinkling and uncrinkling his nose.
.
.
"Yesss" we whispered in mirth to each other.
Only one thought in our mind 'This poor shit is about to sneeze.'
For a moment I wondered if he might be able to suppress it. I mean… He's trying his best.
He's doing everything he can, but we can see that he is ultimately powerless. Like a whirlpool, the sneeze cannot be resisted, it is a force of nature.
Seeing this for a minute we entered a state of high alertness. On a quick calculation I reckon, Ino informed me "We are outside of the immediate blast radius, Captain. So we are… ah probably safe."
I concluded "Yes Major, but there must be five people in direct danger, and one of them is an Angry old lady."
"Hehe...Omoshiroi... " Eh... that was a Scary voice, Ino-san…
In the microsecond before the sneeze comes, I lock eyes with the guy. He looks at me like a man who has been sent to the guillotine. I 'try' to look sympathetic.
It was like in slow motion, It began as a sort of spasm deep down inside the guy, an irrepressible wave of energy building from his abdomen, spreading up through his chest and neck, rushing to burst out through his nose.
His head jerks back, hitting the wall behind him. His eyes closed, our eyes wide with amusement. In the same second the people surrounding him begin instinctively to recoil.
I can see the angry lady's eyes widening as she realizes, much too late what has befallen her.
But at the very moment of climax, the instant when I thought my fellow Chibians would be covered in nasal debris, Ino Gasped, indicating something Incredible happened, which I'll remember till the day I die.
.
.
The guy's jaw clamped shut,Yes! Our man somehow takes the full brunt of the sneeze internally.
His entire face- cheeks and upper neck area - expand outward like a bullfrog before rapidly contracting again. He emits two noises simultaneously, a high-pitched squeak and a deep, guttural moan.
.
.
Haha.. it was so fucking loud, that half the carriage craned to look. No one knows what's going on beside us. The guy's eyes are half-closed and streaming with moisture. Were it not for the passengers propping him up, he would have collapsed from the effort.
After a few seconds he opened his eyes and we again acknowledged each other's presence. He must have also seen the admiration present in Ino and my face, because he gave us an imperceptible nod- so regal and magnanimous – modestly recognizing the scale of his achievement, but without wishing to gloat.
'A true Morning Hero.' I thought as we watched his back, as he again integrates in the sea of crowd.
.
That was just in the morning ride. The other thing happened later...
If you ride the subway often, especially at the same time everyday to the same place, you develop a know-how.
For example, ya'know like the train has a lot of people but in a few stops they'll all get off, or you can stand in front of students wearing a certain school uniform and get a seat quickly because you know when they'll get off, or if you let this train pass you can get on the next one that will have less people.
"*Piririririri~* The train is now approaching. For your safety please step behind the yellow line and watch your step."
So we were waiting at the subway station,… as much as I liked the morning ride, I'd rather not again go in with many people.
"Hey! This one has a lot of people, Ino… let's get on the next one..."
"Oh.. There's not that many people. Let's just get on.."
"(-_-)… "
.
.
Around this time the train toward Chiba city usually has a lot of people, but for some reason in this one today there weren't that many...Not to say the car was completely empty...There were quite a few people…
Anyways...
There are two types of seats on a subway right? The long seats where seven people can sit and the small seats where two/three people can sit...We were standing in front of the seats where three people can sit..
The lady in front of us starts getting her stuff together...Oh yeah! Best luck ever..!
I looked at Ino… Indeed she had an expression on her face like this ^_^ as she waited for the lady to get up...
She is definitely going to sit in the seat right away… My legs hurt too because they've been walking around all day...*Sniffles* TT_TT
Soooo… I attacked her with my gaze...
"( -,.-)" Translation: Don't I look so pitiful? Let me sit!
"(-.-+)" : You're a guy and you can't even endure that much!
"(^_^')" : Look at my cold sweat!
"(\./)" : How many times do you wanna get hit before you let me sit?
"… (^,.^)" : You can just sit..
These days we can just communicate even with just our eyes..-_-;;
She is sitting in the seat...And Me? My legs hurt so much that I am hanging off of the handles… But, Even as I was hanging I did not stop attacking with my gaze….
"(TT_TT)" : It's so painful….
But Ino… "( -.-)"… She is looking in another direction. Don't ignore me and stop whistling..
.
We went like that for a few stops...As the door opened a white-haired grandma walked in...
As she was about to go a different direction I brought her in front of the my girl… ^_^;
"Ma'am, come here ^_^ ..."
.
.
Finally She has stood up...Muhahahahaha! Me? I'm evil. If we die, we die together..
So the grandma sat down and Ino and I ended up standing…
.
.
Behind us, two college-age girls were talking while holding on to the handles facing the opposite window..
One girl had on an Eastpak backpack and the other was holding a purse..
But Ino saw two guys go and stand right behind them...Me? I was leaning on the door and falling asleep...*Head is nodding*, when she nudged me to inform me that, I didn't pay any mind.
She must have thought the guys seemed suspicious, because she was keenly observing them through the reflection on the window...
And then all of a sudden!
.
.
.
I felt my body being pushed and I thought I had fallen over while sleeping.… -_-
So I quickly tried to pretend I had fallen on purpose.… But that wasn't it..
This is what happened!
At the very moment that one of the guys took out a razor and started cutting the front pocket of the Eastpak!...
My girlfriend had pushed me over onto the guys…
"Oh no...I'm sorry...-_-;" I said lamely.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" The first guy shouted while pocketing his right hand and a… 'Razor' hastily.
Agh.. A razor..-_-; "It's nothing ^_^ Just keep doing whatever you were doing.. ^_^;"
The girl who was almost pick-pocketed has no idea what is happening and is just laughing…
I think she thinks I was falling asleep and then fell over on the guys...-_-;;
The two guys… the pickpocketers, were glaring at me...-_-;; Therefore?
.
.
We got off immediately at the next stop...And it happened to be Sobu Station...^_^
"Hey! How could you just throw me there in that situation!" I confronted her.
I'm even being used as a weapon now? -_-;;
"Haah! Well then what should I have done.. She was about to be pickpocketed..."
"You should have just yelled, 'Thieves!'"
"Ehh… That's embarrassing..."
"…. "
"Embarrassing? What about getting me killed instead?" -_-;;;;;
.
.
.
And so we are at the Sobu line bus station...
"Hey hey hey hey~! It's a green light~! Runnn!"
"Ughhh...Run again?"
