Bura slammed her locker door, her eyes filling up with tears. There was no
one in the school at 5:30pm, so the stricken Bura could cry with dignity.
She slid down, her books against her chest and her back against her locker.
She bit her lip, drawing blood. "Oh, I hate you, Goten!" She muttered
bitterly. The two had quarreled about the Christmas gifts they would
exchange, "I guess I shouldn't have mentioned my old boyfriend", she
admitted to herself quietly. Goten wasn't usually the jealous type, but it
was always during Christmas that he would be extra self-conscious.
She heard a rustling of jeans and looked up: it was him. Goten gave her an apologetic look and sat down beside her. His cologne filled her nostrils and he looked at her. She turned her eyes away from him and sniffed gently. "How did you get in?" She asked coldly.
"I found a way", he grinned sheepishly. His grin quickly faded as he saw that Bura wasn't smiling back. "Aren't your parents going to wonder where you are?" He changed the subject.
Bura glared at him, "why should you care?" She spat back. Goten looked surprised.
He stood up and walked down the hall and towards the high schools' exit. Bura turned from him and stifled another wave of emotion. Goten suddenly stopped, looked up at the hallway lights and gasped quietly. Bura looked at him, then at what he was staring at: the lights were flickering quickly.
"Oh, gosh, are we being snowed in?" Bura said breathlessly. She got up and strode past the surprised Goten. She looked through the main door's window and sighed, "I guess I was right." The snowstorms in West City weren't usually strong, but the weather forecast warned of a cold chill coming from the North West coast.
Goten walked over beside her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Bura's eyes flickered angrily and tore away from him. She began to cry a little and glared at him with tear-filled eyes. Goten let go of her slowly and locked eyes with her. "Look, Bura, I'm....I'm sorry." He hung his head.
Bura's countenance softened, "I..I forgive you. I guess I'm sorry too." She turned to the window and saw more flakes land heavily onto the pile blocking the door of the foyer. "We're snowed in. And I don't think the janitor is here, he must've gone out for a while. But I guess he can't get in now." She tried explaining.
Goten approached her more carefully now, "are you cold, Burrito?" He coaxed as he began to embrace her. She let him hold her, letting his warmth be one with hers.
"Oh, Gottie," she moaned, "what are we going to do all night in my high school?"
"Well, have you checked the cafeteria? Maybe there's some food there." Suggested Goten. Bura pulled away gently from him and smiled. He was always thinking about food. She held his hand and led him to the doors of the café.
"Oh, damn!" She cursed as she banged on the doors, "It's locked!"
"Here, let me try." Goten offered as he rolled up his sleeves and resumed a martial arts position and winked to her.
Bura slapped his wrists gently, "no, silly! That would be vandalism."
Goten scoffed playfully, "goody-two shoes." Bura cuffed him humorously on the ears and giggled. "So, princess, what do you propose we should do?" Goten said with a mock English accent as he hoisted the laughing Bura onto his shoulders.
"Alright, noble sir, let us go to the.." She paused.
"Gym!" Goten filled in for her. Bura threw her head back and laughed.
"Maybe being stuck in my school with my horny boyfriend won't be as bad as I thought!" She joshed. Goten blushed, but knew Bura couldn't see the red tinting on his cheeks.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Wow," she sighed as she was let off gently from Goten's shoulders, "it's so.so..empty." She stared off at the echoing walls of the gymnasium as he walked towards the equipment room.
"Hey, if I bust these doors and get some mats out, we can use them as beds!" Goten suggested a little too happily.
"Ohh..well...okay", Bura said hesitantly.
"Great!" He proclaimed as he began beating the doors. The handles came off along with the entire doors. A swirl of dust circled him and Bura.
"Oh, crap," she groaned, "on second thought, that wasn't a good idea."
"Too late!" Goten remarked. He reached in and grabbed hold of 2 blue mats.
"Oh, ew!" Bura complained as she coughed from the dust the mat let off.
"This will have to do!" He reasoned. She made a puppy face and grabbed one of them. She then lay it near a bench.
The lights were flickering faster and faster now. Goten took his and lay it not to far from hers.
"Goten, I think we're going to have a black out," she stammered, "I'm worried, but if we can find the fuse box, I can probably fix it. I am, after all, Capsule Corps. President's daughter!"
Goten grinned and hoisted her up again on his shoulders, "then let's go find it, beautiful!" Bura giggled as she played with his hair.
Goten chuckled and strode to the 3rd floor. Goten walked easily down to the school's basement. He left Bura off smoothly and kissed her on the cheek.
Bura giggled and pulled away. She walked over to the fuse box and sighed, "I think you'll have have to bust this lock, GENTLY."
Goten grinned sheepishly and crushed the lock easily in his hand. Bura went on fumbling with the wires and buttons as Goten looked up worriedly at the lights.
Bura gave a final pull on a wire and threw her hands victoriously. "Yeah! Alright!" She and Goten cheered as they hi-fived eachother. They looked up and to their relief, saw the lights steadily coming back.
"Wanna go back to the café and try to bust in?" Proposed Goten as he rubbed his stomach, "I'm really hungry!" Bura giggled and ran up the stairwell with a stomach growling Saiyan behind her.
