Hi to Kori: More to the Feudal Fairy Tale…
Chapter 1 "Foreign Exchange Students and Juvenile Dementia" ^-^
By: Ashley Akaihi
//You know, I thought it was funny what they said about destiny. Humans usually claim it's fate when things were meant to happen, it's never a coincidence. Expect the unexpected, 'cause in life there are no such things as coincidences, only inevitabilities. I always thought it was a bunch of bullshit….Guess I never really believed in such things, ne? But when the weirdest shit starts happening to me and my world is turned upside down, my opinion about all that changes dramatically…..Too bad my best friend and I were only the triggers that set off the huge events in this feudal fairy tale….//
It was a fine Friday afternoon. Kagome was sprawled on her bed, engrossed in a cheesy romance novel while listening to her new 'Hoobastank' CD. She hadn't the slightest clue when a dark figure snuck up behind her and seized her by the shoulders, shaking her senseless and scaring the beejesus out of her.
"KYAAAAAA~!!" She screamed while smacking her attacker in the face with the nearest pillow she could find. She had her eyes squeezed shut when the pillow connected with it's intended target.
"ITAI!" A female voice squeaked.
Wait a minute! Big fierce youkai don't yell "ouch"! The hell is going on here?
Kagome opened her eyes to a familiar sight. A 5'5 girl of about 16 stood in front of her with her hands held over her ears. She was kinda plain looking with her brown eyes, dark brown hair, and bangs that framed her face. The only thing she could really say that was special was that her hair managed to reach past the middle of her back.
"Figures." Kagome sighed.
"Hey, not my prob. You knew we were visiting, Kagome-Chan!" The girl pointed out.
A pair of brightly jeweled green eyes peeked out from behind the girl, "Psst…is it safe, yet?"
"Hai, Jezz." She responded and a shorter girl stepped out, clutching a sleeping bag to her chest. This girl was about 5'3 with an extremely long length of black hair past her ass. She too was a familiar sight.
"Ah….we called earlier, but your Ojii-san said you had juvenile dementia!" She grinned. "BUT!" She emphasized. "We didn't believe him!" Kagome made a mental note to kill her grandfather later.
"Damn Americans! Go home, we don't need your "kind" here!" Kagome kidded while swatting at the first girl. True, they were definitely Americans. While both girl sported the famous skimpy red, green, and white sailor fukus, the cold hard fact was that these 2 two girls were exchange students at her school and she had the unfortunate accident of becoming friends with them.
"Ahem! Bubble space!" The first girl smirked before digging her sharp nails into Kagome's wrist.
"Ite-te-te! Get miss kitty off'a me!!" Kagome shouted while trying to escape the girl's death grip.
"Ashley Akaihi!" The second girl scolded, prying the two apart.
"Aww…But Jezzica!" Ashley sniffed fakely.
During all the commotion a small sneeze was heard, 'causing all the girls to take notice of a stuffed animal that hadn't been on Kagome's bed before. Curious, Ashley darted to the bedside and picked up the plushie, which seemed abnormally heavy to her. Carefully she brought it to her face and started to slowly sniff the toy all over. She took note of its pawed feet and bushy tail. Then she noticed something else weird. Did the strange toy just sweat? She went to inspect further, but Kagome suddenly ripped it from her grasp.
"Ano…its kinda embarrassing having friends know I still keep children's toys around." She blushed, "I'll just go put this away." And like that, she was gone from the room in a flash.
"Eto…That was weird…." I had no idea just how much weirder things were gonna get from here on out….
