The Fox Meets the Wolf and All Hell Breaks Loose (or I could abbreviate it and cause confusion)
by KOFLeona
Chapter 6 is here! it's here! it's here! Lol, must be the affects of chocolate, even though I am very resilient to hyper-ness increases by sugar. Hmmm...
Anyway, this chapter is just Kei musing on her life as she listens to some music, which brings me to another disclaimer...
'Hemisphere' and it's lyrics, from the anime RahXephon is not property of still-lives-with-parents artist/author/student known as KOFLeona. It was sung by Maaya Sakamoto(you go!), written by Iwasoto Yuuho(rock on!), and composed by the awesome Yoko Kanno(hell yeah!). It's NOT mine, even though I do sing it to myself, it's still not mine.
damn
Chapter 6 Musing to Myself
I leaned back in my desk chair as I put down my black pen. I just finished my homework and it was almost eight o'clock. Damn, the teachers were PILING the homework on us students. Now, I also have basketball to worry about. Auntie is also suggesting I take up kendo again since I was great at it.
Glancing over to my sword rack, I smiled at my bokken, katana, and tachi swords. I was kinda good at kendo, but my basketball schedule couldn't possibly negotiate with kendo club practices since kendo met almost every day except Thursday. Guess there'll be no kendo for me...
I wonder what Yukari and Ayako are doing? Yukari, studying, cooking, reading, or preventing Nobunaga from wreaking mass havoc in the house and on the rest of the world. Ayako was probably finishing up her homework and deleting Riyouta's love emails.
Sighing yet again, I faced my computer and went to my Winamp player. What was on the playlist right now? Oh yeah, some RahXephon and Fushigi Yugi songs. I double clicked on 'Hemisphere', one of my favorite songs. Leaning in my chair again, I began to think as the music wafted through the room, it's melody fusing with the atmosphere itself.
"sore demo ittai kono boku ni nani ga dekiru tte iun da
kyuukutsu na hakoniwa no genjitsu o kaeru tame ni nani ga dekiru no
jinsei no hanbun mo boku wa mada ikitenai
sakaratte dakiatte
muishiki ni kizamarete yuku keiken no TATUU..."
Geez, things have been too exhausting, basketball, that dream, Rukawa...
Well, at least I made the basketball team! I can be happy about that, if anything. But...everyone seems to hate me there, except for Ayako and Kogure, but they're always nice. Everyone else...they just don't like me, I guess. But why should I care? If they don't like me, then that's tough for them! They can go stick it for all I care. But I do...
I miss Mom...I wish she were here. At least I'd have a motherly figure to confide in, share my secrets. Aunt Hitomi is great and all, but she isn't my mother, no one else will ever be. If she were here, I could tell her what's been attacking my mind lately, Rukawa.
How the hell does he keep bumping into me? Is God trying to get me injured enough to quit basketball? Or does fate just want me to suffer by crashing into kitsune anytime we're remotely near each other? Damn you, fate...
Geez, how pathetic am I getting?? Starting to think about Rukawa more!? I HAVE to be losing it. But...when I saw him looking at me at trials, I melted, even if he might not have been looking at me at all. His eyes, ice blue, so cold, but somehow, they were the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. They seem as if they hold so many secrets, an enigma waiting to be solved.
"HITO wa arukitsuzukete yuku
tada ikite yuku tame ni
fukanzen na DEETA o nurikaenagara susumu
hajimari no kouya o hitori mou arukidashiteru rashii
boku wa hai ni naru made boku de aritsuzuketai..."
Nobody can find out about this though; my 'crush' on Rukawa; not Ayako, Aunt Hitomi, not even Yukari. Or is it even a crush?? Damn! I don't even know anymore. I just feel so...drawn to him, I guess. Is that good or bad; to feel something for Iceman/Athlete Supreme?? This is getting stupid...
I promised I'd never fall in love, and that I'd grow old, get a job and take care of the twins and Auntie when she got old. I never expected this to happen, for there to be someone like Rukawa in my life.
What's up with me? I know I want to be a strong person, not to be affected by someone else like I am now. Yet, I can't help but feel towards Rukawa. I pity him for being so distant, to hide his emotions, and I also want to be near him and to, well...love him, I guess. This is too frustrating, I'm starting to lose track of who I am.
"gakeppuchi ni tatasareta toki
kunan mo boku no ude o tsukami
jibun jishin no arika ga hajimete mietan da
motto hiroi FIIRUDO e motto fukai ookina doko ka e
yosou mo tsukanai sekai e mukatte yuku dake"
I guess...I'll admire him from afar, but never up close. He doesn't seem like he's going to get all open and confess his 'passionate love' for me. Geez, that'd be off. I wonder how he feels though. Maybe, if there is such thing as fate, damn you still, I'm destined for Rukawa and he for me??? Shit...that was WAY too corny...
I don't think he likes me though, nevermind love me. It just doesn't seem like him. But now...for the first time ever in my life, I feel like I truly love someone in -that- way. Though, loving someone and knowing they don't love you back hurts. So, I guess the best thing to do is just give up on him and just live a normal, life, free of any stupid vanities and silly thoughts. Besides, there's no use in loving someone who will never love you back...
"Boku wa boku no koto ga shiritai."
Yeah, yeah, I know. The chapter was insanely short in comparison to the rest of the chapters, but it's late and the idea came to me so suddenly that I had to get it down fast. That's just how I am! ^^
Hope you all liked it, because I started to get the heart/gut wrenching feeling towards the end, especially at the "Besides, there's no use in loving someone..." line.
Another thing; Only after I finished did I realize that most of it was about Rukawa!!! lol, not a problem. I think you all had enough of angst concerning her father, so that won't be necessary...for the moment. hehehe *all evil* Kinda ironic, if you ask me, that I wrote this Christmas night. O.o
I'd also like to explain why I posted this and the previous chapter, maybe even the next one, in one day. It's because I use AOL. 'Nuff said, you know what happened.
Well, tune in next chapter for 'Nobunaga Comes to Town!'
I wanted to put in a madness chapter with mayhem, and that definitely means...NOBUNAGA!!
Yup, master of mayhem and destruction(at least in this SD fic) will be appearing alongside Yukari, Kei, and Ayako. The thing is, Nobunaga is coming over to Shohoku after school. Can you say fistfight?
