Day One
Miroku's Day
I woke up the next morning to the sound of a horn. I knew this, of course, because looking out my window I could see Mr. Shawn with a horn and he was playing some sort of song that signaled everyone to get up. It was far too early for me to get up and I really don't wake up to horns but I was forced to anyway. I quickly dressed myself and made my way down to the building that we had met in the day earlier.
Upon reaching the building, there were still counselors leaking in. I spotted Lady Kagome and made my way over to her. "What are we doing today?" I asked her.
"You'll see soon!" she told me. She seemed excited and happy about something that I had clearly not been told about yet. At that moment, Sango came in. "Sango!! Aren't you excited?!" Then she ran over to Sango and started talking to about girl things perhaps. I began to feel left out.
Naturally, Inu-Yasha was one of the last ones to come.
"Good morning Inu-Yasha!!" Lady Kagome greeted him, completely disregarding Sango and I as if we weren't there. Lady Kagome and Inu-Yasha engaged themselves in a conversation and I would have joined in but I could smell Inu-Yasha's horrendous morning breath like you wouldn't believe so I couldn't even look in his direction anymore so I turned my head.
Mr. Shawn then began talking. He explained quite thoroughly about how we had to be kind and patient with the kids and humor them. He then explained how we would be given different groups for swimming and that we should tell the kids our personal rules and all those other kinds of things that he seemed to have thought was important at the time but when I think back, I really could have gone without the ten minute lecture.
Then the children entered. I stood under the sign that said 'The Bunnies'. All the children seemed to look at me and then walk right by or ask me where other groups are but none of them seemed to stop. All of a sudden, I heard a few voices from below me and I looked down to see six little faces looking up at me, questioning on why I had been ignoring them the whole time.
"Are you my group?" I asked. I must admit I was disappointed. When I had seen the list of names in my group, I had seen the names of three girls and was hoping they'd be a little older for reasons that are apparent. They all nodded and then I took the time to look at the age that was on the list of kids to see that it had, in fact, said that they were only five years old. I felt a bit foolish for getting my hopes up.
At around that time, when all of the children had been thoroughly distributed, Mr. Shawn handed out schedules and then informed us that there would be no breakfast for today. I was momentarily heartbroken but quickly got over it. But I did note the fact that the first thing it said on my schedule was 'Breakfast'.
But nothing could be done. So I looked at the second thing to see that it said 'Basket Weaving'. That was a good thing since I could always use another basket around to hold things.
On the way, I decided to acquaint myself with the kids.
"So which one of you is which?" I asked. There were three girls and three boys so I knew I wouldn't have too much trouble.
One girl introduced herself as Laura. She had a lisp and I knew that would get on my nerves but other than that, she seemed rather flawless.
However, when the next girl, Madeline, introduced herself, Laura was absolutely nothing. Madeline was cute, blond and very sweet. I quickly established the fact that she would be my favorite camper and that someday, she would bear my child.
The last girl, Kelsey, I could have gone the rest of my short life without seeing and died happy. She was by far the most hideous creature that has ever set foot on this planet. In fact, I think perhaps she may be a demon poorly attempting to disguise herself as a human girl. It took a long time for me to get a name out of her. She whined, cried, said she didn't have a name and even tried to hit me as if I had done anything to her. I then deducted that this girl would NEVER bear my child even if she asked me to.
There were three boys, Cody, Russell and Matthew.
So at around that time, we reached the basket weaving building. There was a beautiful, young, slender woman in the doorway. I immediately introduced myself.
"Hello, I am Mr. Miroku," I told her. "I know this may seem sudden but will you bear my child?"
She laughed, thinking I was joking. They always seem to think I'm joking and never sense the urgency in my voice. For all I know, I could die tomorrow! But enough of that, and she told me that she was Ms. Betty.
Okay, I've owned baskets in my life but I have never actually made one and I can see why. Those who make baskets should be considered genius and paid generously, for basket weaving was by far the most difficult task I have ever attempted. For some reason, all of the children seemed to have absolutely no trouble at all and enjoyed laughing at the expense of my disfigured basket as it fell apart whenever touched.
Ms. Betty asked me if I needed any help so she came over to help. She had a nice, firm rear end. Unfortunately, she didn't seem to like it when I was making sure just how firm it was because she shrieked and avoided me. The kids laughed at me.
Basket weaving proved to be unsuccessful and I left with no basket, only a red hand mark on my face.
Laura offered her basket to me. Her basket was made well, but I didn't want to take it from her but I also didn't want to turn her down either. Luckily, we arrived at the foot of what seemed like stairs that went on forever. Well, perhaps that is an exaggeration but they did go very high for six five-year-old's little legs. And I was correct in my assumption and ended up carrying the three girls and Russell up the stairs. Cody didn't seem to want to ask me and maybe Matthew just wanted to look cool but I could tell that he was tired.
We slowly made it to the top and met up with a tall, blonde woman with blue eyes. She wasn't as young as I liked girls to be, but I figured there was no harm in asking her to bear my child. But I decided to ask her later since asking right off the bat had not worked with Ms. Betty.
I waited until all the children had gotten their shoes off when I turned to Ms. Lauren (that's what she called herself). "Will you bear my child?" I inquired.
Like Ms. Betty and pretty much every other woman, she laughed and told me to stop joking around.
Ms. Lauren started up some music and told the kids to play freeze dance. At around that time, a woman walked in with a fourteen-year-old boy who entered walking like a pigeon. I decided to disregard this boy, and act as though he belonged here. Though, I did hope that he wasn't going to be a permanent addition to my group because if he were, it would throw off the whole balance of three boys and three girls all of the same age.
I had some entertainment in watching the kids try to dance but that weird older kid kind of made me nervous when he would randomly just turn around and start stomping around in another direction. I was worried that he might flatten some kind the children.
Luckily, we left dance all in one piece and that kid followed us to the waterfront.
Once there, I met up with Sango, Lady Kagome and Inu-Yasha and we all talked about our groups. Or at least Inu-Yasha talked about this one mysterious girl named 'Julia' who seemed to help him all the time. I questioned him if he was slave driving her but he just ignored me and wandered off. So we listened for about the entire period as a mildly attractive woman in a nice bathing suit told us about the rules of swimming and what groups we'd be in and the levels and other things like that.
Then it was lunch time. I was happy about that, I admit, because we hadn't been given breakfast or dinner the previous day. So I told all my kids to sit down at an empty table and then was quickly told to get up by a group of kids known as The Werewolves because we were sitting at their table. I told them that all the tables were the same and that we were here first but then they told me that the tables were labeled. It was at that time that I realized that there WAS a sign that said 'The Werewolves' on the table.
I felt really stupid but decided to pretend as though I didn't feel stupid. Though, all the kids were laughing at me as we went around to find the table labeled 'The Bunnies' because, after all, we are The Bunnies.
But after inspecting every single table, we couldn't find one labeled 'The Bunnies' so I found Mr. Shawn who was making sure that everything was okay.
"Excuse me, Mr. Shawn, but we don't have a table." I said.
Then he told me that my kids were too young to read so if I looked for a table with a PICTURE of a bunny then I would find where we had to sit. I felt even stupidier by that time because I remembered passing by the picture of the bunny but assuming that maybe it was The Rabbits…
And the kids enjoyed yet another hearty laugh at my expense as we went over to the table. I'm pretty sure that they thought I was only PRETENDING to be confused so I suppose that's a good thing.
The kids probably each ate about a third of what they were served. I, of course, finished my meal.
The lunch period was a whole lot longer than we needed considering the fact that they all finished everything they wanted to eat within the first ten minutes. (Might I add how disgusting the lunch was. It was really disgusting.)
After lunch, we had what was called 'Group Time'. We all sat in a circle.
"All right, since I already know all your names, how about you all tell me a little bit about yourselves?" I suggested. "Or maybe your older sisters or your young, single mothers?" This wasn't too hard of a question.
Laura was the first to launch into explanation about her older sister who was tall, thin and blonde. Unfortunately, she was also only eight years old. After that, Laura didn't stop and continued to explain the hobbies and pastimes of her older sister, Katie, and all the fun times they had together. It seemed as though Laura didn't have much will of her own and I quickly grew tired of hearing about this random girl who I would most likely never meet.
Matthew told me that his mother was young, attractive and fun loving. But, right when I was starting to get interested, he told me that he was an accident and that she was a prostitute. That got me horribly discouraged. I want a woman to bear my child, not to just have blind intercourse with me for currency!!
Kelsey said that she had an older sister who was about seventeen but I was immediately turned off since I wouldn't want my child to end up looking like Kelsey.
Cody said nothing, as usual. He seems to be really shy for no reason. I think maybe he's mute, or even worse, possessed by a horrid demon that is slowly eating his soul. I'll have to look into that.
Russell told me that he had no family and no parents. I stared at him for a moment and then asked him again and then he told me that he had four sisters and two brothers. It turns out that he had one mother and two fathers and that his mother had a few kids, divorced and then married again and then had more children. This woman is probably burnt out and not to mention old and I don't want to have a screwed up child and PLUS, I wouldn't want Russell to end up with three fathers. But then again, I wouldn't want to be Russell's father. I would be ashamed of him. Russell's two brothers are in their twenties, probably older than myself and I wouldn't want to end up with children that surpass my age or a wife that is thrice my age.
As for Madeline, she's an only child and her mother lives in Bermuda. (Wherever that may be.)
So my group is a failure in finding me a young, beautiful female to bear my child.
I spent the rest of group time telling them about myself. I think that the kids thought that my life story was fictional so I believe they were entertained.
I was glad when group time was over since I was running out of things to talk about. Next we had to go to 'Arts and Crafts', and Russell got the group engaged in chanting 'Farts and Rafts' that didn't stop even after entering the arts and crafts building.
Once again, we were greeted by a beautiful arts and crafts teacher named Ms Kara who was, on my scale of one to ten, probably a seven. Maybe a seven and a half.
Upon turning the corner and taking our seats, Ms Kara's MOTHER came around the corner, an old, fat and horribly unattractive woman. I knew I could never ask Ms Kara to bear my child without first the permission of her mother if her mother was present. Ms Kara and Ms Kara's mother had a huge lesson plan for us to do that was very complicated but we ended up just doing gimp since all the girls wanted to do it and Matthew and Russell wanted to do the other project. Cody didn't vote.
Of course, none of them could even do the simplest of stitches so they just handed them to me. Since there is no gimp in my world, I was also unable to perform even the simplest of stitches but with a little help from Ms Kara, I soon became an expert on starting the box stitch as well as pretty much doing the entire project.
Though I did enjoy Ms Kara's company, her mother made me nervous because I could tell that she noticed Ms Kara and I checking each other out. She was so obviously attracted to me. Not her mother, but Ms Kara. She told me that she loved the way I worked with the little kids and that she wanted to talk to me later.
So anyway, I was glad to finally leave and get away from Ms Kara's mother. I have a feeling that Ms Kara will bear my child but not if Ms Kara's mother has anything to say about it since she doesn't seem to like me all that much so we'll just avoid her during Ms Kara's entire pregnancy.
So I took them to rest hour, the next period. I decided that I'd just situate the kids in their beds and then go off to go and visit a few of the female counselors just in case they've reconsidered on my offer for them to bear my child. Then I thought that maybe I could visit Inu-Yasha, Sango and Lady Kagome if I could manage to find them.
After I was sure that all the kids had dozed off, I wandered around the camp. I was going to visit Ms Kara and ask her if she wanted to bear my child but then I decided against it since her mother would be there.
Then I thought I could visit Ms Lauren but I didn't feel like climbing up all those stairs and then climbing down all those stairs again.
After that, I figured I could visit Ms Betty but then again, her eyelashes were too long and my child will MOST LIKELY be a male and I would not like him to have long eyelashes so I wouldn't want her to bear my child anyway.
So I quickly concluded that I would have to find a new female counselor to visit.
It was then that I had realized that I had wandered down a path behind my cabin and into the woods. I could hear voices yonder, so I began to make my way over to that area but all of a sudden, an arrow lofted by from the sky and landed by my feet.
Then I realized that it was a trap and someone was trying to kill me so I grabbed the arrow and slowly and quietly followed the general area to where the arrow had come from. I could hear the voices even louder, and they definitely sounded like demons, hideous demons at that and was just about to attack when I realized that I didn't have my staff. But I DID have my air void!! Unfortunately…
Suddenly, I heard someone call my name. But it wasn't REALLY my name but more so a sub category of my name. I recognized the voice to be Sango's and upon looking around a tree, I saw her standing there surrounded by a hoard of disgusting, demonic sub life forms.
"Sango, were you captured by these horrible demons?" I inquired as she ran over to me and slapped me for no reason. I hadn't even done anything yet! Maybe it was an 'in advance' thing.
She told me that it was kind of like that but these demons were, in fact, her group. Then she asked me if I could go and scare them away or something.
"But you're their counselor." I said, handing her the arrow. "Did you shoot this at me?"
Sango shook her head and told me that one of the kids had done it unintentionally. These kids weren't REALLY kids, they were horrible prepubescent fourteen year olds and at that moment, I thanked my lucky stars that I did not look like that as a teenager. Maybe it was making up for giving me a curse that would shorten my life.
"How has your day been going so far?" I asked. "Do your prepubescent boys prove as good companionship?"
Sango immediately replied with a no without hesitating for even a second. I could tell that she was unhappy but I didn't want to dig deeper into the subject since it seemed to make her uncomfortable. But she answered my question anyway and told me that the boys were even more perverted than I was and it was worse because they're disgusting.
"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult." I said because she said that I was perverted but she also ambiguously told me that I was attractive. "Well…I should be leaving now." I had to return to my group before they woke up.
But Sango only screamed and grabbed my arm, telling me not to go and leave her alone with the perverted fourteen-year-olds.
"Do you want me to suck them into the void within me?" I asked.
She answered quite vaguely but I could assume that she didn't want me to even though she really did. I think that women should just state what they want like men do. I want a woman to bear my child so I ask them! Women don't know what to say so they laugh and tell me that I'm joking even though I would very well know better than they would.
I asked Sango one last time if she wanted me to smite them but she said no so just before I was about to leave, Lady Kagome jumped out of a bush and demanded to know my destination.
"I have to go back to my group." I replied. "I wouldn't want them to wake up and find me not there."
Lady Kagome gave me a dark stare and asked me why I wasn't with my group.
"I wanted to visit all of you." I answered. "But I just so happened to find Sango first."
Kagome then proceeded to start giggling after saying 'OH!!' and winking to Sango and myself. Sango slapped her forehead but I failed to understand what was so humorous so I only just nodded and smiled so that Lady Kagome would perhaps drop it. But this only caused her to let out a loud bellow and then slap my back quite hard.
"Lady Kagome!" I said. "That was uncalled for!"
But then she gave me a big bear hug and for a moment, I thought that this meant that she would bear my child but then she hugged Sango as well so I figured she was just being friendly. Then she ran off telling us that she would be leaving us alone now.
Then Sango told me to leave before Kagome got any more ideas. I decided that this must have been a girl thing so I bid her a farewell and made my way back down the path.
When I reached my cabin, Mr. Shawn was standing there looking angry.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked.
Mr. Shawn answered in the affirmative. Then he started lecturing me on the fact that Laura had gotten up in the middle of rest hour and couldn't find me and as a counselor with such large responsibilities, I shouldn't go wandering off and leaving the kids alone and if anything happened to them then…
At around that time, I started meditating.
A little later, when I finished, I noticed that Mr. Shawn was not there anymore. After a quick scan around at my surroundings and a thorough check of the cabin, I realized that none of the kids were present. I was worried that Mr. Shawn had decided that I was not worthy and confiscated them from me.
On my way over to search for Mr. Shawn to give him a piece of my mind, I noticed Kelsey's blinding pink t-shirt over on the soccer field. I ran over as fast as I possibly could. When I finally reached the group, I then noticed Inu-Yasha standing there staring at me as if I were a demon with eight heads and then I turned to the man standing there whom I assumed was the head counselor.
"Sorry I'm late." I said. And I truly really was sorry and decided from that point on that there was to be no more meditation. Also, all the kids started hugging my legs so I assumed that they were just really clingy after rest hour since they got so bored.
The man forgave me since I was a new counselor and told me that his name was Mr. Carl. Just as I was about to engage myself in an intelligent conversation with him, Inu-Yasha suddenly decided that it would be a good idea to introduce himself and all of the children in his group. But he hardly had said five names before Mr. Carl told him that he didn't have to do that.
Mr. Carl told them that he would be mixing up our groups since Inu-Yasha's group was bigger and older even though he had all girls. And then he counted off all the kids. All the kids who said 'One' went over to Inu-Yasha and all the twos over to me.
I received Madeline, Laura and Matthew from my own group. I felt as though I lucked out that time around since I didn't get Kelsey and Cody probably wouldn't play and Russell…I don't even know what's wrong with him. He's just so dumb.
Now from Inu-Yasha's group, I got a set of twins. One girl, Julie, told me that she was really good at sports and if I had any questions or needed advice that I should ask her. The other half of the set, Juliana, told me that she didn't know a basketball from a soccer ball and I told her that she wasn't alone. Jesse was really affectionate and came right over to me, grabbed my arm and acted as though I had known her for her entire life. Perhaps she would be able to bear my child in the future since she is a little older than the girls in my group. It turns out that the sister that Laura was telling me about, Katie, was in Inu-Yasha's group and she was on my team. I didn't even know what to make of the last girl, Sarah since she just kind of weirded me out.
Mr. Carl told us to put everyone into positions but considering that neither myself nor Inu-Yasha have never even seen a soccer ball in our entire lives, we couldn't really put our kids into positions.
I remembered what Julie had told me so I asked her if she would help me out with the positions. She seemed eager and excited and quickly distributed positions. Mr. Carl then told us that he had to go and make a very important phone call to his mother who wasn't feeling well and asked us to just start the game on our own.
I signaled for Julie to start the game since she seemed to know what she was doing. I didn't really want to make a fool of myself once again today so as soon as Mr. Carl had disappeared from view I waved for Inu-Yasha to join me in the shade since he didn't look like he wanted to play either.
Surprisingly enough, he joined me.
"I just thought that maybe you'd like to sit in the shade." I said. Inu-Yasha sat down next to me and then went and said that my group was stupid.
"Well…" I started. I knew I couldn't have Inu-Yasha go and insult the kids like that especially since Madeline was going to bear my child someday and Laura was a sweet girl and Kelsey…well "I have to agree with you at some kind of level. I really dislike Kelsey as well. She's just frightening to look at."
Inu-Yasha asked me if that was the only reason I hated her.
"No, she's annoying too." I lied. That really was the only reason why I hated her but I didn't want to make myself look bad. "But as for Cody and Russell, they're not stupid. Cody's just real shy. But…well…I guess Russell is pretty stupid but not in the context that you're referring to. He's just not very bright, that's all. But you can tell him anything and he'll believe you. But the thing is, he'll ask why to everything you say and no matter what you respond with, he'll say 'Oh'." I decided to change the subject. "Did you know that one girl from my group and one girl from your group are sisters?"
He answered in the negative.
"Yeah, Katie and Laura." I said, knowing Inu-Yasha didn't really care considering he had collectively said about ten words to me the entire time we had been speaking to each other. "Laura always tells me that her sister is in The Dogs and…you don't really care do you?"
Once again, he answered with a simple negative.
"Well I'm going to tell you anyway. I can really tell because they look very similar."
Inu-Yasha looked at me questioningly and asked me who I was talking about.
"Katie and Laura." I replied.
"There isn't a Laura in my group!"
"No, Laura is in MY group." I tried to explain.
"Well what does she have to do with Katie then?"
I sighed. Inu-Yasha was either really, really stupid or he was just trying to annoy me. Suddenly, I heard the bell ring. I was relieved that I wouldn't have to spend any more time with Inu-Yasha since he wasn't being very friendly. Perhaps he was just in a bad mood for something that had happened earlier. Before I had even the time to tell Inu-Yasha that I would be seeing him later, he had already sped off with his entire group.
Upon looking at my schedule, I saw the fishing was next. I never liked fishing in my world and I didn't doubt that it would be just as dull as in this world so I asked my group if they would like to explore an alternative.
Matthew's first reaction was yelling out 'TUBING!!' I thought this sounded vastly more interesting than fishing though I didn't know what it was. I allowed Matthew to lead the way saying that his cousin used to go to the camp and that he was the tubing counselor and he was sure that it was going to be okay for us to go.
I allowed Matthew to lead us over to tubing. The tubing instructor first greeted Matthew and THEN greeted me, and I found that to be rather rude. He said his name was Mr. Darrin and then asked me if I was allowed to be here.
"Yes." I answered. "Matthew said you would allow us to."
Mr. Darrin seemed like a young and chivalrous cousin so he agreed and told us not to tell Mr. Shawn. All of a sudden, I saw Lady Kagome came walking up followed by about eight ten-year-old girls.
"Lady Kagome!" I said, waving. "Do you have tubing as well?"
Lady Kagome said that there was no possible way that I had tubing since my kids were too little but I assured her that I did and I even got Mr. Darrin to back me up on that one. Maybe he wasn't as rude as I thought he was but then again, he is a liar and a rule breaker.
I was going to go over and bond with Lady Kagome's group to check if they wanted to bear my child sometime in the future as Mr. Darrin took all of my kids out tubing when they all abruptly put on life jackets and jumped into the water and commenced in swimming around. I was just about to tell Lady Kagome that she should teach her children to shape up when she came over with horseshoe eyes and a life jacket and jumped into the water as well.
I decided to leave her alone.
Suddenly, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned around to see Mr. Shawn standing there.
"Hello Mr. Shawn!" said I. I could tell that he was angry at me again so I decided to soften him up a little bit before he could say anything. "How are you? How's the wife? How's the family?"
Mr. Shawn held up a master schedule and pointed to the 'Fishing' that was under my name. I told him that I knew very well that I had fishing right now but we didn't want to go to it so we decided to go tubing instead. He told me that I was not allowed to do that and that Mr. Dennis had been waiting for us to show up this entire time.
I must admit that I did feel bad for Mr. Dennis for having to wait for us but he did get to period off so he could meditate or something else.
Mr. Shawn told me that this was my last chance and that if I were to do something like this again then I would have to leave the camp. I didn't want that to happen.
"Mr. Shawn, you have my word as a monk that I will never do this again." I promised.
Mr. Shawn then told me that he didn't think I was really a monk. I was so insulted that I hardly resisted the urge to end his life right there but instead, I decided to give him a piece of my mind. I told him that he had insulted me, my father and my grandfather (rest their souls) and that he shouldn't jump to such conclusions just because of appearances. I told him that there WAS a such thing as an attractive young monk and he should explore every possibility before just jumping to conclusions.
I'm not sure if he was truly apologetic but he once again told me that skipping periods was never to happen again and then quickly left.
The rest of the period went without event. The kids had a great time tubing and that I was the best and those other things that I already knew and then we all thanked and said goodbye to Mr. Darrin and went down to the waterfront for swimming.
I hoped it wouldn't be another period of explanations and rules. I wasn't. In fact, I was presented with a nice group of sixteen-year-old girls all in very skimpy bikinis and I was to teach them CPR. Now, I didn't really know what CPR was but I figured that it wouldn't be too hard.
"All right everyone, let's introduce ourselves!" I said as we sat down in a circle. I eyed a mannequin that was in the center and then decided to ignore it. "My name is Mr. Miroku. Would any of you girls be interested in bearing my child?"
All the beautiful young ladies giggled and introduced themselves as Corky, Darby, Skye, Libby, Hope and Alyssa. It seemed as though they were all engaged in a school activity called 'cheerleading' and they seemed to think it was fun but from what I heard about it, it sounded rather dull. They were all very giggly and talked about people as if they weren't, namely myself. Of course, they weren't saying anything bad but it was annoying me that they were saying things as if I wasn't hearing them. Such as, 'See Corky? I told you we'd get the hot counselor!'
Now, I admit it was a bit warm outside but I myself was not hot at the moment. I started to think that I was sweating a lot or maybe I was emitting body odor.
At that moment, I noticed a hideous demon that was sitting behind Hope. I quickly whipped out one of my demon wards and threw it at him in order to save Hope's life but he seemed unaffected and looked at me as if I was strange when I was the normal one and he was the freakish demon.
Then he told me that he recognized me and that he was in Ms Sango's group. He asked me if I was Mr. Hosh-sama.
"No, that's just a nick name that she calls me." I replied. "You may call me Mr. Miroku. And you are?"
He told me that his name was Borris. All of the cheerleader girls looked utterly disgusted by Borris's mere appearance and I didn't blame them but I thought they could at least be more discrete about how they were gawking at his terrible blemishes on his face and his cracking voice. I then stopped to wonder if my voice had ever done that. I couldn't seem to remember that point in my life so I figured that I had a cute little child's voice one day and then a manly, irresistible and incredibly sexy voice the next day. Praise Buddha!!
In order to find out just what CPR was, I pretended to quiz the kids and soon realized that it was really just one breathing person giving air to a non-breathing person. I asked Libby to demonstrate for the group and she asked me if she could demonstrate on me since she claimed that she didn't want to do it with any other girls and just didn't want to touch Borris.
I told her by all means!
But before she should properly show the class what CPR was, Sango walked up and hit me upside the head and then proceeded to lecture me on taking advantage of the slutty girls. Her speech was barely half over when the bell rang. All of the girls whined and complained as they left and I admit that I was upset that I didn't get very much time to bond with them but I told them that I would see them tomorrow and they giggled and ran off.
Sango uttered 'Hosh-sama' and then left.
I wonder why she insists on calling me that? She could just call me by my real name. I wouldn't mind or be offended.
I met up with my group. They said that they didn't need to change and they didn't mind if they got their clothes all wet.
Russell told me that Mr. Inu-Yasha owed him a banana. I decided to completely disregard him since he's quite prone to saying things like that. Laura asked me how the period went and I told her I had a lot of fun because all I had to do was kiss girls all day.
Matthew said that that was the grossest thing he had ever heard and told him that one day, he would want to kiss girls too and eventually need one to bear his child. And he told me that THAT was the grossest thing he had ever heard and I said, 'Well, what do you know?!'
Then we went to mini-golf. I was excited to find out what it was because I assumed it would be one thing only miniaturized. However, as Mr. Martin explained what we would be doing, I was quickly discouraged from my desire to play. I told Mr. Martin that he could play with the kids and I would just be watching.
Mini-golf passed without event and I hoped that I would never have to endure such torture again. Madeline asked me why we didn't just go tubing instead and I told her that I would have loved to but Mr. Shawn is evil and will no longer allow us to wander off like that.
Finally, we went back to the main building to have dinner.
It was disgusting but I finished it nonetheless. I would hate to insult the cook.
Towards the end of dinner, Mr. Shawn walked out and announced that since it was eight o'clock and it was now campfire time.
We were taken into a secluded area of the woods with a campfire in the middle, hence the name campfire time. It looked as though the entire camp was there. Mr. Shawn got in the front and did his little hands up thing and everyone was completely silent.
He declared that since it was campfire time, each group had to choose a counselor and a camper to go down in front. I was about to just take Madeline since she was my favorite camper but then I looked at Laura and I also wanted to take her. I didn't even consider Kelsey. Matthew said that he didn't want to go and I knew Cody wouldn't want to and even though Russell was raising his hand, I knew he'd mess up whatever activity we were going to do.
I heard Mr. Shawn begin to explain the rules so I quickly just grabbed Madeline and told Laura that she would go down tomorrow.
"Sorry it took so long!" I said as I walked over to the group of counselors and campers who had been chosen. "I couldn't decide who to pick."
Mr. Shawn then told me that I had to be quicker next time. I really don't think Mr. Shawn likes me all that much. But that's okay since I don't really like him either.
Then Mr. Shawn told the whole camp that it was a marshmallow eating contest and the kids had to feed the marshmallows to the counselors and whichever counselor could stuff the most marshmallows in their mouth was the winner. I didn't like that idea.
Mr. Shawn then told everyone to go.
"Madeline, would you like to put the marshmallows in your mouth?" I suggested.
Madeline gasped and immediately agreed as if that would just make her day. I put one marshmallow in her mouth and she already looked like she couldn't fit another thing in. I then noticed that Lady Kagome and her camper was next to me and she had nearly the entire bag of marshmallows in her mouth. So I turned back to Madeline.
"If you want to win, Madeline, you have to get at least more than one." I said as I ripped a marshmallow in half. "Here, if you can get this in your mouth then I'll be satisfied." She opened her mouth and I really just placed the marshmallow on her bottom lip but then she looked all too happy as if she had actually won and then spit out the marshmallows. "This is your treat." I handed her the entire bag of marshmallows.
She asked me if I wanted one as she started chewing on a marshmallow. I told her that they were hers and she shrugged and decided not to argue.
Just then, Mr. Shawn raised Kagome's hand and declared that she was the winner.
Inu-Yasha yelled to Mr. Shawn that they hadn't even started yet and Mr. Shawn told Inu-Yasha that there was a time limit. Then Mr. Shawn told us to go to our next activity.
I approached Mr. Shawn. "Mr. Shawn, there isn't a last activity on mine." I said, showing him my schedule. "It only says 'bed'."
He told me that since my kids were younger they had to go to bed earlier and then left before I could protest. I found myself ranting and raving as if it were really all that important, but I think it was just the principle of the thing. I took my group back to The Bunnies cabin and got them changed into their pajamas. They all seemed very tired.
Even though I was not tired, I lied down in my bed for I didn't dare go around visiting after what Mr. Shawn had said about making me leave the camp. I should have savored the emptiness of my bed because only about fifteen minutes later, I saw a figure at the foot of my bed.
Of course, my first instinct was thinking that it was a demon but after getting a good look at it, I saw that it was only Laura.
"What's the problem?" I asked her.
She told me that she was scared and that she had a nightmare. I told her that I doubted that she had even gone to sleep yet but when she started tearing at the eyes, I moved over and beckoned for her to get in with me. No, I did not try anything nasty for this young girl was only five-years-old and I would never befoul a child as pure as her.
Only moments later was I disturbed again. I looked up to see Madeline.
She told me that she would give me a marshmallow if I let her sleep with me. I told her that she didn't have to and that she could anyway so she jumped in on the other side of me. I did not befoul her either.
