Fushigi Gakkou

Chapter 4

~*~

Miaka and Kishuku had just arrived at the cafeteria when they heard a voice shout "Miaka" over the din of the crowd.  Miaka looked for the source and saw Yui pushing her way towards them.

            "Well," Kishuku reflected, "it seems we have found your guide.  Have a good lunch Miaka, and try not to trample anyone in your quest to stuff your stomach."   Miaka scowled up at him, but Kishuku just gave her one of his wide grins.  "Ja ne."

            "Ja Kishuku-kun," Miaka waved cheerfully.  Kishuku raised an eyebrow at the suffix but just smiled and walked away.

            "There you are," Yui exclaimed finally reaching Miaka, "I'm glad you were able to find the cafeteria.  Who were you just with?"

            "Sou Kishuku.  He led me to the cafeteria.  Gomen nasai for losing you like that, I was just so excited about food!"  Miaka smiled.

            "Don't worry about it.  Sou Kishuku?  The captain of the karate club?  That is who led you to the cafeteria?" Yui asked amazed.

            "Hai," Miaka smiled, "Now let's eat!"

Miaka stood in line for dessert.  She had eaten her meal in about five minutes flat-much to the amazement to Yui-and was still hungry.  Looking at the selection, Miaka found a chocolate pudding hidden in the rows of vanilla.  Reaching for the dish, she was beat by another hand.  Annoyed, she turned around and glared at the boy behind her.

            "Excuse me," she said-in her opinion-kindly, "but I was about to take that."

            "I know," the orange-haired boy smiled to show fangs, "that's why I took it first."  Miaka scowled, she would teach this boy you don't mess around with Yuuki Miaka when food was involved.  She grabbed one side of the bowl and started to pull, while the boy grabbed the other side.  Locked in this strange tug-of-war, Miaka could only think of what a jerk he was.

            "Don't you know you're suppose to let the girl go first," Miaka frowned; the boy was much stronger than her.

            "You're no girl, you're a pig.  How much food do ya need to eat anyways?  I got it first, it's mine."  Miaka let go, her mouth was agape.  The nerve… With a battle cry, she launched herself at this orange-haired jerk and crashed into his stomach, tackling him to the floor.  The pudding flew out of the boy's hands and splattered all over the tiles.

            The boy's eyes were open in shock, "Oi, get off of me you crazy @!&$#!"

            "Oi," a familiar voice joined the fray, "Don't you know you're not suppose to cuss at girls?"  Miaka slid off of the boy as he was bodily lifted up to his feet.

            "This ain't your business Kishuku," the boy growled.

            "It is when you start cussing girls Shunu," Kishuku shot back.

            "She attacked me!"

            "Oh, so you got attacked and beat by a girl so you cussed her out.  You are such a man."

            "Wanna take this out side?"

            "It'd be my pleasure."  A wail broke both boys out of their argument as Miaka sat on the floor and cried.

            The orange-haired boy, Shunu, seemed as comfortable with tears as Kishuku.  "Oi, oi.  Stop crying."  But Miaka didn't stop crying and Shunu winced, what did she what?

            Kishuku bent down to try his luck, "Miaka, oi Miaka.  What's wrong?"

            Miaka pointed at the brown mess on the tiles in front of her, "The pudding's ruined!"  Both boys face-vaulted simultaneously.
