Day One
Sango's Day
I awoke to the sound of a horn playing the next morning. Actually, I had been awake for quite a while now since the beds weren't exactly comfortable so all the horn really did was signal for me to arise.
I dressed quickly so I could reach the main building faster, talk Kagome into letting us leave and continue the search for Naraku so I may free Kohaku from his spell. I tried not to get weepy at the thought of Kohaku as I made my way down the path out of my cabin, Kazoom which was originally Inu-Yasha's but we traded just so he could be The Dogs.
Kagome and Hosh-sama were already there when I arrived. The moment I walked in, Kagome ran over to me. "Sango!" she yelled. "Aren't you excited?!"
"To go home?" I tried.
"No, silly!" said Kagome, laughing. "To start your day as a counselor!! I'm so excited. I've been going to Camp Walawalabingbang since I was part of The Bunnies and I'm so glad to finally be a counselor!!"
I couldn't press further on the matter of leaving because I didn't want to shatter Kagome's hopes. Then I noticed that Hosh-sama was coming over and at that moment I knew he was going to come over and be perverted and things but it turns out that he actually wasn't.
"I couldn't help but overhear the fact that you said you used to be in The Bunnies." Hosh-sama said to Kagome.
"Yup!" Kagome answered.
"That's MY group!" Hosh-sama said.
Then I hoped that Hosh-sama's group was a bunch of boys or else the girls would be victims of his lechery. I wanted to slap him right then and there for even making me have to think about that kind of stuff but Inu-Yasha walked in right then and Kagome nearly pushed Hosh-sama and I down to run over to him and greet him.
Inu-Yasha had by far the most horrendous morning breath I had ever smelled but I didn't say anything. But that Hosh-sama! He's so rude! Before I could say anything to him, Mr. Shawn walked in, spoke for about thirty seconds and then a bunch of kids came in.
I stood under my sign 'Kazoom'. I watched as Inu-Yasha got an entire group of girls that were really supposed to be mine, and I watched Kagome get an entire group of girls and then I watched Hosh-sama get a group that was half boys and half girls but he wasn't paying attention to them and I was just about to go over and tell him to acknowledge their existence when I noticed that there were a few boys gathering by the Kazoom sign.
"I was so happy when I found out that our counselor was going to be a girl!" said one of the boys. "We usually NEVER get girls!!" His voice cracked every other syllable and I could tell that he was going through puberty in all the worst ways. I hoped that Kohaku would never be that bad, but then again, Kohaku is dead.
In the end, there were a total of ten prepubescent boys with mullets to the extreme in my group and then this one boy who kept walking around in circles like a pigeon who I had heard was autistic.
Mr. Shawn handed out some schedules that told us what we would be doing throughout the day. He also told us that we wouldn't be having breakfast this morning but that didn't really bother me all that much since I wasn't really all that hungry.
The first activity on the list was tubing. I didn't know what it was and asked the boys to lead the way. Upon arriving, I counted all of them up to see that there was only ten and that the autistic kid, Andrew, was missing. But a woman approached me and told me that Andrew didn't participate in certain activities and would be joining other groups and would return afterwards.
The tubing man was named Mr. Darrin. He told everyone to get their bathing suits and a life jacket on and then get in the boat. Three of the kids, Bort, Mario and Hubert, got in a tube that was attached to the boat by a long rope. I could tell that Mr. Darrin was looking at my body since all men are perverted but ESPECIALLY Hosh-sama.
"So, Ms Sango, how did you get this group?" Mr. Darrin asked me.
"I stupidly traded with somebody else so he got my sweet little girls and I just got ugly Hosh-sama times ten." I answered. "Not that…Hosh-sama ISN'T ugly or anything…" I caught that one. It's a good thing Kagome or Hosh-sama aren't here or else I'd never hear the end of that one.
Mr. Darrin nodded and continued steering the boat. I could tell he didn't really care and probably just wanted to violate me so I kept an eye on him. Even though Mr. Darrin DID seem kind of nice, you can never really tell with men.
"Ms Sango, will you ride with me in the tube?" came the voice of an adolescent boy going through puberty.
"I think I'll just sit this activity out." I said.
"But otherwise I can't go!!" he whined. "None of the other kids want to go with me because I want to go slow because I get motion sickness if I go too fast!"
I didn't want him to miss out on the activity. "All right…" I said slowly.
"YAY!!" cheered the hideous child. "I get to go on the ride with Ms Sango!"
"Aww…can I go too?" asked another one of them.
"No. No you can't." I said. At about this time, Mr. Darrin stopped the boat back at the dock and all the boys in the tube got out and then me and that child I had foolishly made a promise with got inside of it.
"Ms Sango, I've never been this close to a girl before!!" said the kid. "I'm Gordon by the way."
"Okay." I said. I could tell why he had never been close to a girl before. Mr. Darrin started the boat but Gordon screamed and cried and became very clingy but I bet he was faking it because he just wanted to touch my body. We were going so slow towards the end that there was rope slack and the boat would have to speed up a bit to get us over a wave.
I was thankful when the ride was finally over and I could get away from Gordon because he was greasy, smelly and he had pimples all over his face and I just didn't want to touch him anymore.
"Ms Sango, that was SO much fun!!" he told me.
"I had fun too." I lied. I then told Mr. Darrin that I wasn't going to be riding the boat anymore and I would just stay on the dock. I didn't want any kids coming up to me and asking to take a ride with me anymore.
While they were taking another trip around the lake with Bailey, Dimitri and Travis, I quickly clothed myself so that none of these horny men could look at me anymore. I was getting so bored and was thankful when Mr. Darrin declared there was time for only one more ride. Dexter, Raphael and Borris were the only ones left so they went around.
"Why did you put your clothes back on, Ms Sango?!" asked Bailey. "We have sailing next!!"
"I'll just leave my clothes on for sailing." I said. I had been sailing plenty of times fully clothed. Sailing wasn't very far, it was actually just around the corner. The sailing instructor's name was Mr. Ulysses.
"Just how many of you are boaters anyway?" asked Mr. Ulysses.
"We ALL are!!" said Dexter.
"Is this true, Ms Sango?" Mr. Ulysses asked, turning to me.
"Uh…yeah." I replied. I really didn't know what a boater was but I DID know that I had to stay on my toes because Mr. Ulysses looked like the kind who would sneak up behind me and jump me.
Mr. Ulysses told us to split up into two groups and that he would take half the kids and I would take the other. All of the boys were jumping to be in my group and I WOULD have been flattered if I didn't know their true intentions once we got out on the water and they would all gang up on me and I can only hold off so many.
So Mr. Ulysses pointed to five of the boys and told them to go with me. The other five looked disappointed as they all got in the boat and the other five and myself got in another.
Operating a sailboat was a lot easier than I imagined and quickly mastered it but once we got out in the middle of the lake, the wind seemed to stop and I noticed that Mr. Ulysses' boat was far away from ours. I knew the boys would try whatever they wanted right now.
"Ms Sango, we're trying to figure out what cup size you are just by looking but we can't tell when you have that life jacket on!!" said Mario.
"What?" I said. I didn't know what he meant by 'my cup size'.
"Just take your life jacket off!" Dexter urged me.
I didn't figure there could be any harm by simply taking off my lifejacket since there wasn't really any wind so we weren't in danger.
"I can't tell!!" yelled Hubert.
"You need to take off your shirt." Said Bailey.
"My shirt?!" I demanded. I could tell that these boys were going to violate me if I went any further.
"You're wearing a bathing suit underneath, aren't you?!" asked Bort. "It won't do any harm!"
I couldn't help but agree. Since they had already seen me in my bathing suit I figured why not? So I took off my shirt and I knew right then and there that they were all staring at my chest.
"You boys are so perverted!" I yelled, grabbing a hold of the paddle. "And if any of you come near me than I will not hesitate so hit you!"
"Come on, Ms Sango, don't be such a party pooper!!" said Mario.
"I'm warning you!" I said. "I've killed a whole lot of things in my life and I would not lose any sleep over…"
"You don't look like you could hurt a fly!" said Hubert.
Now that offended me. "How dare you!" I said. "I happen to kill things for a LIVING!"
"Are you a really bad veterinarian?" asked Bort.
"…What…? No…" I said. I didn't really know what a veterinarian but I'm sure that if I was one of them then I would definitely not be a really bad one. "Listen boys, I want you all to paddle us back to shore so I can get out of here." I commanded.
"We're not doing anything until you flash us!" said Bailey.
"Flash you?" I said, confused.
"Show us your chest!!" they all yelled at the same time.
"Okay, slaps for all of you!" I declared as I slapped each one of them. A few of them sniffled a bit but others tried to stick it out. I dipped my hand in the water since I had a load of grease on my hand afterwards and decided that I would not be slapping them with my hands anymore. It wasn't that hard to get them to paddle us back to shore at that point in time since I really just had to show them who's boss around here and they can't get away with being lechers.
When we finally got back, Mr. Ulysses was already there. All the boys ran over to the side and I just knew that the five from my boat were telling the others about how they had seen my body.
"Mr. Ulysses, that was very immature of you to let five horny teenagers to go out in a boat with me!" I scolded him.
"What did they do to you?" Mr. Ulysses asked. I couldn't tell whether he was sincere or not.
"They tried to violate me!" I yelled.
"I'm terribly sorry, Ms Sango, I'll tell Mr. Shawn right away." Mr. Ulysses assured me. I doubt he did, however, or else it would make him look bad so we all left on the way to the waterfront which was just back over to where tubing was. We had collectively walked about fifty yards so far.
I saw Kagome, Inu-Yasha and Hosh-sama all standing in a circle and I was about to go over there and rant about how these boys were taking advantage of me but all Inu-Yasha did was talk on and on about this one girl in his group that really should be mine. I couldn't really tell if he was being sarcastic about the fact that she was helpful or if he actual thought that she was helpful but before I could force him to trade groups with me, the main swim instructor woman started explaining rules and groups for swimming. I was relieved to hear that for swimming, we would be receiving different groups so I could get away with my ten campers.
But I was devastated to find out that I now had to eat lunch with Kazoom. I sat at the end of the table and told them that if anyone came in contact with me then I would thusly smite them.
And then Andrew came back. I had hardly even noticed that he was gone in the first place. I spent a majority of the lunch period telling him to get back to the table, chasing after him and reminding him to eat. I was pretty sure that he was faking his autism the whole time because it just didn't seem real to me.
Group time was after lunch. I figured I could set ground rules for the kids so they know not to ask me to flash them anymore. I tried to find us a good place to sit as we passed by many groups, including Kagome's group where they were all hugging and singing. We also passed by Inu-Yasha's group who were just learning each other's names. Then we passed Hosh-sama's group and from what I overheard, they were talking about their families.
I gave a heavy sigh and found a nice shady spot for us to sit. "I want to get just a few things clear." I said as all the kids sat in front of me. "Just because I am a lady counselor doesn't mean that you can take advantage of me! Pretend as though I'm either a guy counselor or I'm an ugly lady counselor."
"Whenever I'm trying to avoid nervousness, I just pretend as though the person who's making me nervous is naked!!" yelled Travis. All the boys started hooting.
I tried not to look too frustrated. "Don't do that!" I commanded. "If I see any of you picturing me naked then I'm going to report you to Mr. Shawn and get you kicked out of this camp faster than you can say 'Walawalabingbang'!" I felt as though I really got to them with that last comment.
"It's…too…hard…" said Raphael.
"STOP IT!" I yelled. All the boys started laughing.
At that moment, Andrew stood up and started mumbling something about The Brave Little Toaster coming to video and then he started walking off. I chased after him and brought him back over to the group.
"Stay here!" I told him.
"TEENAGER!!" he yelled, grabbing my arm. I was surprised with his sudden outburst but then I realized that he was grabbing my arm so I wrenched myself from his grip and slapped him.
"There will be no touching me!!" I told everyone firmly. "Understood?"
Andrew seemed unfazed as he just started talking about these two mice who were going to go to Never Never Land.
"We understand Ms Sango!!" said all the boys. But just by looking at them I could tell that they were going to touch me just like Hosh-sama does even after he promises just like they are doing right now. But then again, he never actually promises. But they did!
"Ms Sango, do you have a boyfriend?" asked Dexter.
"No." I said.
"GOOD!!" yelled Borris. "YOU'RE OPEN FOR US!!"
"I mean…" I started, realizing that this was a mistake. "Yes, I do have a boyfriend."
"Yeah…thought so." Said Borris, looking sad. "There's no way a hottie like YOU could be available!!"
"That only happens in the MOVIES!" added Gordon.
"I don't like you referring to me like that!" I said. "I am your counselor and you should be treating me with respect!"
"So what's your boyfriend's name?" Dimitri asked.
I knew I had to think up something fast. "Hosh-sama." I said. "In fact, he's a counselor at this camp so if he sees you ever coming near me again then he will surely kill you since he always gets insanely jealous."
"Then he should be MR. Hosh-sama!" said Travis. I hadn't even realized that I had called him Hosh-sama.
"But we can take him on!" declared Bort. "There's ten of us and only one of him! We can win, right guys?!"
"HERE HERE!!" cheered all the boys. I slapped my forehead and just when I was going to smite them all, the bell rang and for some reason, I didn't.
Wall climb, the next thing on our list, was pretty far away. At least it was away from the water so I wouldn't have to wear my bathing suit but when we arrived, I started to wonder why all the counselors were young men! This one immediately pushed past all of the boys and shook my hand.
"Hi, I'm Mr. Grant." He said but then lowered his voice to a whisper. "Mr. Ulysses told Mr. Shawn to tell me to watch out for these boys."
I already liked Mr. Grant. Plus, not that it's important or anything, but I found him to be a little attractive but that didn't take away from the fact that as soon as I turn my back that he was going to violate me!!
Well, maybe all of this was just in my head. I am way to paranoid, perhaps I should try and lay back on these guys a bit.
"Would you like me to help you with your harness?" Mr. Grant asked. I looked at his harness that was already on.
"What are you, some kind of pervert?!" I yelled. I knew he was just going to feel my rear or other perverted things like that while he was down there. I snatched the harness away and put it on. And wall climbing proved to be very pointless. All I did was climb up a wall and then climb back down, something I could easily do without a harness and a humungous boomerang on my back. And I had to watch the other boys climb too. The whole time I was climbing, all ten of them were making catcalls and I SWEAR that Mr. Grant was joining in but that could just be my paranoid nature again.
Mr. Grant directed us to walk through the woods down a path to get to archery since it was the next thing on my list. The only problem was, in the woods I was far away from other people and no one would be able to hear me scream but just as these thoughts were going through my head, I found myself in a clearing with many targets.
There were two sections and I could see Kagome in the other one. I was going to yell out and wave to her but she looked very preoccupied. I walked up to the man who was standing by a station putting some arrows down next to a bow. Luckily, this man looked a little older but sometimes people get more perverted as they get older. He told me that his name was Mr. Czhekov. He explained the rules but as far as I was concerned, he could have been talking about something completely different since I couldn't understand a single thing he was saying. But then he set us up with the bows and told us to fire.
The first arrow that was shot went high into the air and clear over all the targets.
"No no no no no no no!!" said Mr. Czhekov as he commenced in lecturing the one who had shot the arrow. I didn't stick around to hear his rambling because I had seen some movement in the woods and decided to check it out. When I was about half way over, I could tell that the source of the noise was actually Hosh-sama and he was, in fact, spying on me.
"Sango, were you captured by these horrible demons?" Hosh-sama asked, playing innocent. I slapped him because I knew that he was spying on me the whole time.
Then I cleared my thoat and decided to answer his question. "Well, they're sort of like demons but actually my group." I said. "Could you maybe scare them away or something?"
"But you're their counselor." He said, handing me the arrow that was first shot off into oblivion. "Did you shoot this at me?"
I shook my head. "No, one of the kids did it unintentionally." I explained. I can't believe that Hosh-sama would even accuse me of doing something like that!
"How has your day been going so far?" asked Hosh-sama randomly. "Do your prepubescent boys prove as good companionship?"
"No," I said without hesitation. I waited for him to ask me why but he didn't say anything. That Hosh-sama is so insensitive! So I decided to tell him about what had happened anyway. "I never thought it would be possible but these boys are actually more perverted than you are! But it's worse with them because they're disgusting…" I couldn't believe that I had just said that! I had just ambiguously told him that he was attractive and he knew it too!
"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult." He said nonchalantly. "Well…I should be leaving now."
I yelled and grabbed his arm. "Don't leave me alone with the perverted fourteen-year-olds!" Only afterwards did I realize that I said that a little loudly and that they had probably heard that.
"Do you want me to suck them into the void within me?" he asked.
"Well, I would love it but I don't think it would be a good idea because after all they have families and…" I found myself rambling so I quickly stopped. Hosh-sama asked me if I was sure that I didn't want him to smite them. I struggled to reply with a no and just as he was about to leave, Kagome jumped out of a bush.
"Where do you think YOU'RE going?!" she demanded, throwing herself in front of Hosh-sama.
"I have to go back to my group." he replied. "I wouldn't want them to wake up and find me not there."
Kagome gave Hosh-sama a dark stare. It only just occurred to me that Hosh-sama was supposed to be with his group and not just walking around visiting people. Then I started wondering why Kagome wasn't with her group either. But then again, neither was I.
"I wanted to visit all of you." Hosh-sama said. "But I just so happened to find Sango first."
"Oh!" said Kagome as she started giggling. I knew that she thought that we had planned for Hosh-sama to find me and then we'd go off and do something even though that was not true. I would never go off with Hosh-sama, especially alone. So I slapped my forehead when I saw Hosh-sama start to smile and nod so maybe it was a plan that Kagome and Hosh-sama had come up with. Then Kagome slapped him on the back only after yelling quite loudly.
"Lady Kagome!" Hosh-sama said. "That was uncalled for!"
Kagome then hugged Hosh-sama and myself individually and then she ran off saying that she would leave us alone. I watched her go back over to her group and start whispering to them while pointing at us.
"Hosh-sama, you'd better leave before Kagome gets any more ideas." I commanded him.
"If you insist." Hosh-sama said with a sigh. "Farewell." And then he disappeared down a path behind the targets. I was almost compelled to chase after him but I knew that if I did, he would only violate me so I watched him go.
"Was that Mr. Hosh-sama, Ms Sango?!" asked one of the kids.
"How dare you listen to my conversation!!" I yelled.
"We weren't!" insisted Hubert. "We were just wondering!"
"Oh." I said, not fully believing them. But I decided to test it anyway. "Yes, that WAS Mr. Hosh-sama. And he IS my boyfriend. In fact, we're going to get married someday in the near future! And he said that if he saw any of you come near me or try to harass me then he would kill every single one of you so make sure none of you step out of line unless you want to die!!"
Then I gasped and remembered that Mr. Czhekov was listening to every word I said. But luckily for me, Mr. Czhekov didn't' speak English very well therefore he did not understand it very well either so he uttered something that sounded a bit like, 'Oh, very good' and continued to try to teach the kids how to properly shoot an arrow.
At that time, the bell rang and I was quick to leave just in case Mr. Czhekov was playing dumb for an inexplicable reason. When we were finally out of earshot of the archery range, I gave a sigh of relief since I noticed that my group was keeping their distance from me. I wondered just how long that would last before I would have to threaten their lives again. We made our way to the tennis courts where we were met with a man with big bushy curly hair whose name was Mr. Peter and I knew right then and there that he was obsessed with tennis because he went into a whole shpell about the history of tennis and for the remaining ten minutes we bounced a tennis ball up and down on a racket.
Just when I thought I was finally getting the hang of bouncing the ball, I heard the bell ring again.
"That tennis lesson sure was dull!" Dexter complained.
"Yeah!" agreed Bailey. "I hope we never have to do it again!"
"You guys could at least wait until we're not standing right in front of him!" I yelled, stomping over to Dexter and Bailey who were standing right in front of Mr. Peter.
"It's okay." Said Mr. Peter wistfully. "Not ALL can understand the beauty and art of tennis."
"Um…sure…" I said. On our way to kayaking, Andrew came up behind me. This was a kid that I wasn't even sure existed for pretty much the entire day since I hadn't really spent any time with him and all of a sudden he was grabbing my arm and screaming 'TEENAGER!!!' The woman I remembered from earlier who had taken Andrew before, came up to me, apologized and left with Andrew, telling me that she was taking him to nature.
While I stood their in my stupefied state, a few of the boys came up to me and said that we were late for kayaking. So we hurried down to the waterfront and I found myself once again debating on whether I should wear my shirt over my bathing suit.
Thankfully, the kayaking instructor was a woman named Ms Nicole.
"I am so glad that you're a woman." I told Ms Nicole. "Every other activity I have been to have been run by horribly perverted and insensitive males!"
I knew that Ms Nicole was giving me a questioning look. She told everyone to put on life jackets and I was relieved when all the boys averted their attention to Ms Nicole's body instead of mine since she was clearly younger and blonder but certainly not more attractive...
"Now listen up everybody." Said Ms Nicole. I could tell that she didn't care that all the boys were drooling over her and that baffled me a bit. "There should be absolutely no capsizing considering there are absolutely no waves or water hazards. However, if there is a capsize then all you have to do is…" And I let my mind wander as she continued to explain.
I got into my kayak and concluded that it would not be any different from any other mode of water transportation if there was a boat and a paddle involved. Ms Nicole pushed everyone off the shore and then got into her own kayak and gave us instructions to follow her.
"Ms Sango, if I was drowning, would you save me?" Borris asked me as he paddled over to my boat.
"Of course I would." I replied, feeling a bit offended that he would even ask something like that.
"Even if you had to give me mouth to mouth?" Borris said, winking.
I groaned. "I'll leave that up to Ms Nicole." I told him.
"I'm taking a CPR class!" Borris told me. "So by the end of the week, I'll be able to give YOU mouth to mouth if ever YOUR drowning!!"
"I'll be really careful." I said as I quickly made my way away from him. I made my way to the front and let myself drift until I was floating next to Ms Nicole who was waiting for everyone to catch up.
"Is there a problem Ms Sango?" she asked.
"No," I replied with a sigh. "I just haven't really spoken to another girl since I arrived here."
"I don't understand why you were put with this group in the first place." Ms Nicole said as she flicked her hair. "Usually, first year female counselors get groups eight, nine, ten years old. Never have I heard of someone like you getting a group of horny teenagers."
"Yeah…" I said, deciding not to explain how Inu-Yasha and I had switched group simply because he wanted The Dogs and didn't want to be in Kazoom.
Ms Nicole looked at her watch. "It's almost time for the swim period." She reported.
"Oh good." I said with a sigh. "I'll finally be away from them."
"What do you have after swim?" she asked.
"Canoeing I think." I answered.
"Oh!" said Ms Nicole. "I do canoeing too! I'll see you then!" Then she called for all the boys to go back to shore. I didn't mind being in another period with Ms Nicole since not only did she give some female companionship but she also shared the agony of being harassed by these boys.
I felt almost free when I got out of the kayak and walked around the corner where the entire camp was being separated into their groups. I watched a bunch of sixteen-year-old girls go over to Hosh-sama and then Borris wandered off to him as well. I waited for my group to leave but they only stood there with goofy smiles on their faces.
"We wanted to surprise you!!" said Gordon. "WE'RE your swim group!!"
"Except for Borris…" said Bort.
"Wait…I thought we were going to get different swim groups…" I started.
"NOT YOU!!" cheered all the boys. "NOW TEACH US HOW TO SWIM!!!"
Before I could do something REALLY terrible to any of the boys, I noticed Hosh-sama out of the corner of my eye as he so obviously flirted with the teenage girls that were in his group.
"Isn't that your BOYFRIEND?!" asked Raphael, trying to get under my skin.
"Not anymore!" I said, clenching my fist.
"You should go over there and tell him that you want to dump him!!" declared Mario. I could tell what they were doing and I was going to go over there to give him a piece of my mind ANYWAY but it's not like I could break up with him since after all, we weren't really together.
I approached him just as he looked as though he was about to kiss one of the girls and gave him a good upside the head.
"Hosh-sama!!" I yelled. "I can't believe that you would take advantage of these girls just because they're sluts!!" And then I proceeded to lecture him and I can't even fully remember what I said to him. For all I know, I was just repeating my first sentence since I was in such a blind rage for reasons I can't even understand but all of a sudden the bell rang and all the of the girls ran off saying that they would see Hosh-sama tomorrow.
"Well Sango, I believe you were lecturing me on nothingness for nearly fifty minutes." Said Hosh-sama.
"Hosh-sama…" I said as I stomped off. He's just so insensitive all the time!
"Did you break up with him?!" asked Dimitri before I had even fully gotten over to them.
"No…we're still getting married…" I struggled to say. All the boys sighed and looked upset. Then we walked back around the corner and met up with Ms Nicole again who was now ready with the canoes.
"Did you miss us Ms Nicole?!" asked Travis.
"Hardly." Ms Nicole answered. I couldn't help but wonder how she just shattered their hopes right to their faces like that but I didn't wonder for too long considering I do the very same thing.
Ms Nicole then told us to get into groups of three. I noticed that Andrew had returned so I immediately decided to buddy up with him and then I requested that I could go with Ms Nicole.
"No, I'm sorry." Said Ms Nicole. "I'm taking out two boys and since you're with Andrew, you have to take out two boys as well since Andrew won't be doing any paddling considering his autism that he'd probably just drop the paddle and lose it and I don't want to lose any paddles."
"Then I'm not being Andrew's partner!" I said, pushing Andrew away. Andrew wasn't a violator but he certainly was annoying and there was no way that I would be with two violators and one autistic kid.
"But I want Andrew to be with a counselor." Ms Nicole said.
"Then you go with him!" I said. Then Dimitri and Travis seemed to just telepathically decide that they were going to go canoeing with me so they ran up to me with paddles in hand. "I think I'll actually just sit this activity out." I told Ms Nicole.
"You can't do that!" said Ms Nicole. "Then there will be one group of two! Come on Ms Sango, it's not like they can do anything in a canoe."
"Fine…" I said. I got into the back of the canoe. I wanted to do all of the steering just in case anything went wrong. Dimitri got in the middle and Travis got in the front. I held my breath as Ms Nicole pushed us off the shore and I began paddling away.
"Let's capsize the boat!!" Travis said to Dimitri. I assumed that he was attempting to whisper this but since his voice cracked so many times, he might as well just have screamed it.
"If you try to capsize the boat then I'll…" I started but Dimitri and Travis had both started rocking back and forth.
"These waters sure are treacherous!!" said Dimitri. "I'm falling in Ms Sango!! SAVE ME!!"
"You'll have to swim back." I said.
"WHOA!!!" yelled Travis as he attempted to do one final shove to tip the boat over completely. He didn't tip it but certainly did get quite a bit of water in the boat.
"Don't do that again!" I said firmly.
"I can't help it!!" Travis said, continuing to rock.
"I'll help you try to keep it steady, Travis!!" said Dimitri as he joined in on trying to capsize the boat.
"How stupid do you think I am?!" I yelled as I raised my paddle and hit them both on the head with it. "Now if you rock the boat one more time then I'll get Mr. Hosh-sama to kill you!"
"I think Mr. Hosh-sama is just bluffing!" said Travis, rubbing his head. "I bet he doesn't have the guts to kill us!"
"Yes he does!" I said quickly.
"We haven't HEARD him say it!" said Dimitri. "He's so wimpy that he has to say it through YOU!"
"Don't ever say that Hosh-sama is wimpy, he's done a whole lot more things in his life than you could even dream to play on a video game!" I said. I then found myself standing up in the boat while ranting and raving and then Travis and Dimitri exchanged evil glares and before I realized what they were doing, they had the boat completely capsized and we were all in the water.
"These waters sure are treacherous!!" Dimitri repeated.
"Don't you go and say that Mr. Hosh-sama will kill us just because we capsized the boat!" said Travis.
"He will!!" I yelled. I could hear my voice getting whiny. "And don't you dare come over here and try and save me or I'll get Mr. Hosh-sama to kill you!"
"I don't think he could kill all ten of us." Said Dimitri. "Travis here is in the heavy weight division and him alone probably weighs as much as approximately two and a half Mr. Hosh-samas! Not to mention the fact that I can bench press five hundred pounds on an OFF day!!"
Before I could smite both boys, Ms Nicole came over and gave us all a lecture and instructed us on how to fix the boat without getting water in it. I then had to paddle back to shore wet and miserable and went straight to the cabin without waiting for any of the boys to come back from their trip. When I was changing, I realized that my assumption was correct in that it was once again my time of the month again and that was probably why I had been so paranoid, angry and emotional for the past day. So I hung out in the cabin for a little while until a counselor who was in the cabin next to mine knocked on the door.
"It's campfire time…" said the counselor. I looked at my schedule and slapped my forehead, realizing that I had been too busy sulking to remember that I had to go to dinner and foolishly missed it. The counselor and I walked down to a secluded area in the woods and met up with my group. I thanked the counselor as she hurried off to meet with her group.
Before any of the boys could greet me, Mr. Shawn had told everyone to put their hands up and be quiet. He then described what we would be doing at campfire time. We would be having a marshmallow eating contest and a camper and counselor from each group would have to go down and do the contest. Since I was the only counselor in my group, I stood up and looked down the line of the kids who were raising their hands.
"I think I choose…Andrew." I said finally, pointing to Andrew. I grabbed his hand and pulled him down in front as all the other boys sighed. I immediately went over to Kagome and Inu-Yasha. Kagome was gawking at the little girl that Inu-Yasha had brought down from his group.
"She's so CUTE!!" Kagome squealed. "I'm surprised that you got put with a bunch of girls!"
"I'm not!!" I said, stomping over. "That's supposed to be MY group!"
"You're just jealous!" laughed Kagome. And before I could explain what happened with the switching groups, Mr. Shawn told everyone to be quiet again.
And then Hosh-sama came up front with one of his girls. "Sorry it took so long!" he said as he walked over to the group of counselors and campers who had been chosen. "I couldn't decide who to pick."
Mr. Shawn had a quick word with Hosh-sama and then explained that the campers would be stuffing the marshmallows into the counselors' mouths and whoever had the most would win. I handed the bag of marshmallows to Andrew and gave a heavy sigh, knowing that it would all be over soon. Andrew dropped the bag on the ground as if it were nothing and then began walking off just as Mr. Shawn told everyone to start.
I quickly chased after him. "Andrew, we have to do the contest!" I said.
"No!!!" Andrew yelled, grabbing onto my nose and squeezing it.
"Andrew, stop that!" I yelled, pushing his hand away. "Don't ever grab my nose again!"
"Teenager!!" he yelled.
I slapped my forehead and grabbed Andrew with my other hand and pulled him back over to where everyone else was just as Mr. Shawn was declaring that Kagome had won. Inu-Yasha then threw a fit, and I knew he would, since everyone knows that Inu-Yasha has to win everything.
We were then instructed to go back to our cabins. "Looks like it's time for you boys to go to sleep." I said, feeling satisfied and relieved at the same time as we entered Kazoom.
"No way, Ms Sango!" yelled Raphael much to my dismay. "We still have another period of scary story telling!"
"YOU tell us a story, Ms Sango!!" commanded Gordon. All the boys then started chanting for a story so I figured that there was a perfect scary story in mind and then the boys wouldn't be able to sleep for the entire week that they were staying here! I would have laughed diabolically right then and there but I felt that that was far too out of character for me.
"All right then." I said, turning off the lights. We didn't have a flashlight since Mr. Shawn told us that all the flashlights for tonight were unavailable. We all sat down in a circle and I started my story. "Once upon a time, in a time period different than this one, lived a village quite contently. This village specialized in demon extermination and they were very good at what they did.
"One day, all of the best exterminators were called to a castle including a man, his daughter and his son. His son was a darling little boy who was shy and kind and had no personality flaws at all but this would be his first time and he was very excited and his sister was very excited for him.
"Upon arriving at this castle, the king told them that there was a demon spider that appeared every night so the exterminators waited until a spider demon appeared. When it did, they all attacked it and it was a pushover so the entire group commenced in fully smiting it when all of a sudden, the brother that I was talking about earlier got possessed by the real spider demon who we were made to think was the king but was actually the prince but we really didn't know at the time and he wasn't even a REAL prince, he was only pretending.
"So anyway! Kohaku was possessed by the spider and went and killed all of our comrades and then he killed our father. He was just about to kill me when I realized that he was possessed so I was just about to kill the king when Kohaku threw his weapon at me. Then Kohaku got his mind back and we both ran to each other but he was shot by numerous arrows. Oh, did I forget to mention that many spears were thrown at me? But still, the entire castle thought we were dead and then the fake prince killed the king.
"Since they thought we were dead, they buried us. Well, everyone WAS dead except for me and I emerged from the grave only to see the fake prince whom I so foolishly trusted at the time and he told me that Inu-Yasha had destroyed my village which was so not true…" Then they interrupted me from my story, the nerve.
"Mr. Inu-Yasha?" asked Bort.
"No…a different Inu-Yasha." I said. "That was a very common name back then…"
"What I want to know is how YOU got there all of a sudden!" said Bailey. "The story WAS about a bunch of demon exterminators but all of a sudden, it's from your point of view!"
"Well…I like telling the story in first person!" I lied, realizing that I had been getting way into the story.
"Whatever!" said Borris.
I cleared my throat. "So the fake prince told the girl that Inu-Yasha had destroyed her village so she went with a man in a monkey suit who wasn't really a man but a fake person trying to impersonate the prince who was really the bad guy but we thought at the time that both of these guys were good guys even though they were both fake to some extent and bad. Also, we thought that Inu-Yasha was the bad guy even though that might have been true a long time ago but not now because he was the guy who actually went in and buried my entire village and not been the one who killed them but I didn't know this because I didn't make it back to my village, I only met up with Inu-Yasha on the way…"
"This story is boring!!!" interrupted Hubert. "It's not scary at all!"
"What are you talking about?!" I demanded. "This is the most horrifying tale known to mankind!"
"Does it get scarier?" asked Dimitri.
"Yes." I said. "Now let me finish. Okay, so we'll fast forward past the fight that the girl had with Inu-Yasha and we'll just say that she almost bled to death but didn't realize it and then was told the whole true story on how the man in the monkey suit and the prince were the bad guys but we actually didn't know yet that the fake prince was the bad guy because we thought the man in the monkey suit was actually him even though we didn't know that the fake prince was…"
"This is the WORST story I've ever heard!!" yelled Mario. "It's just so confusing with the fake prince and the monkey suit guy!"
I tried not to get too agitated. "So anyway, it turns out that the man in the monkey suit, we'll just call him…oh say…how about Naraku? So Naraku takes control of Kohaku and turns him into a zombie slave and…"
"I thought you said Kohaku was dead!" said Dexter.
"Yes…Naraku brought him back to life." I explained.
"You can't do that!" yelled Travis as if he knew anything.
"Naraku can because he's a very powerful demon." I said.
"I thought he was a prince." Said Bort. "And a monkey."
"Not anymore." I said. "And he wasn't really a prince, he was only pretending to be one and he's not a MONKEY, he just wears a monkey suit so we can't see who he is. So he makes Kohaku work for him and fight the girl and all the other people she was traveling with so…"
"THIS STORY SUCKS!!!!" yelled Mario.
"Yes!" I agreed. "It does suck! It's horrible for the poor girl, isn't it?!"
"I don't think it's real." Said Bailey. "It's just way too unrealistic."
"How is it unrealistic?!" I yelled. "It REALLY happened!"
"Tell us a REAL scary story, Ms Sango!" said Gordon.
"Fine!" I said. "Once upon a time there were ten really annoying boys and they were axe murdered in the middle of the night!"
"By Mr. Hosh-sama, right?" said Raphael.
"No…by ME!" I yelled. "Now everyone to bed right now!!"
"We still have time left in this period!!" whined Borris. "Extend on the second story! It was better!"
"Yeah, make the boys come back to life as ghosts or something!" said Dexter.
"And stop adding YOURSELF in the stories!!" commanded Hubert.
"No!" I said. "Now if you don't go to bed right now then I'll get Mr. Hosh-sama to kill you!"
"Will he axe murder us?" asked Gordon skeptically.
"No! He'll do something much much worse!" I said, turning the lights back on and pushing each kid into their beds individually.
"Oh!" said Borris suddenly. "I just remembered! Ms Sango, I'm in Mr. Hosh-sama's CPR class!"
"SILENCE!!" I found myself screaming. Then I looked at the remaining bed. I was afraid to go to sleep with all these boys in the same room as me. I grabbed my giant boomerang. "If any of you try to violate me in my sleep, I'll throw this at you!" I threatened. And I was serious too.
"Yeah, like you can throw that!" said Mario.
"I can!" I said. "If you all go to sleep right now, I'll show you tomorrow morning before morning, okay?"
"OKAY!!!" chimed all of them. I was still worried and tried not to close my eyes.
