Chapter2: Pure coincidence.
Here I am, in my bed, listening to some slow rock. I've locked myself again in my room and didn't want to see those gloomy faces down the stairs. And the doctor too! He just arrived an hour ago to check up on me. Apparently, the Kendo teacher told my parents that something happened to me at the competition, which I hadn't intend to let them know, and my parents immediately sent a doctor to the house.
And so, I'm stuck in the house, all I have here in my room is a door, some stuffs, and a stupid window. that's it! Ha! Wonderful idea. Windows aren't too stupid, are they? They still have their uses, like now. Why didn't I think of it before? .
I looked down from the window and realized just now that I was in the second floor of my house.Oh goody.That's why I hadn't thought of it but oh well, might as well jump out rather than being in this stupid house.
I got my money along with my credit cards, put all necessary things inside a bag and pushed it out the window. I heard a thump and gaped down the window. I carefully and slowly walked my way out of my window. The first floor wasn't very tall so when I stood at the ledge at the side of my window, I realized that it wasn't high to jump down like I first thought.
However, even though, I know it'll still hurt my butt. I gathered up all my courage and jumped down. I resisted the scream in my throat as my butt connected with the hard ground. I was betrayed by myself and released an 'eep' rather than a sigh. When I heard someone from my house asking what was that, I quickly scramble up, and down the shrine as I caressed my butt.
When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I fixed my jumper (shorts style.^_~) and brushed the dust at my back. Now, to where I'm going, I don't know but I'd like to stay away from this place and went to some vacation for 2 weeks at least. After all, it's already summer, so I don't have school now.
+++++++++++++++
Whew.wherever my feet brought me, it sure is a nice place. After I rode the train, I somehow ended up to a hot spring inn. The inn was made out of bamboo shoots and I could smell the fragrance of the hot spring at the back, I guess. I think I've reached the countryside because I couldn't see any modernized gadgets but that's okay. It's what I needed, you know, to be away from my sobering family at the moment. Wanting to take a nice bath, I entered the place.
"Welcome to Inu Youkai hot spring inn!" The innkeeper, a long haired woman, said happily. Inu Youkai.A bit strange for a name.dog demon, huh? It's quite funny.
"I would like to rent a room for myself for two weeks along with the hot spring." I stated, a little stoic. I wouldn't want them to think than I'm a child since I look like seventeen years old, which was true. They will immediately call my parents once they knew I was underage.
"I see. Are you by yourself, ma'am?" She asked suspiciously, and I nodded stiffly.
"Okay then, fill up this form and I'll let the bellboy collect your bag to your room." I signed my name, created an imaginary address and age, cheated the 'any sickness' question and filled the other necessary stuffs. After I finished it without any hint in my face that I created half of it up, I gave it back to the lady. I waited for her to finish reading my form and then, after she completed it, she smiled at me
"Well then, miss Higurashii, here's your room key. You have a room mate but you're divided by a divider to keep privacy." She handed to me my key and read the key no: rm. 7. Great, my lucky number.
"Let me escort you to your room." She said as I followed her.
She went to left, right and at the end of the long hall, she pointed that if I take right, it'll lead me to the hot spring and the parlor where there is a ping pong table, arcade and other fun stuffs. Great, that'll be where I'll hang, I thought. We head up stairs, also at the end of that long hall and we just turned right and my room was there.
She opened the sliding door and I saw that my bag was already there and what a beautiful room. It's simple and cozy since the divider was there but it's beautiful nonetheless. Besides, it's not only the room I admired but also the view outside the window. Only then did it hit me that I was nearby a beach.
"Wow." That's the only word that came out of my mouth. The lady chuckled and I looked at her.
"Thank you for leading me here, karinin-san (It mean owner.)." I bowed low and when I stood up straight, she smiled at me.
"You don't have to call me that, just call me, Inu Ruriko." She said and she also bowed. She left after the introduction and I slid the door closed. I sighed. It's the first time she'll be away from home for a long time and she's out of their country too.
I walked towards my bed when the divider shudder and slid open. I stared at it as it revealed a black haired woman opening it. She was surprised to see me there, I guess.
"Oh! Sorry, I thought no one's still occupying this room. Ummm, I'll leave right away." Somehow, I thought I might need some company, after all, she's going to be homesick since she's so far from home.
"Wait, please stay." The girl stopped moving back the divider back and hesitantly went towards my sitting form. She seems nervous.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not angry." I assured her where she smiled and sat beside me, relaxing, I guess.
"I'm Higurashii Kagome, by the way."
"Call me Sango, but my name is Hiraikotsu Sango."
"I see." Silence broke in to us as I fidgeted my fingers to the bag.
"So, how long will you stay here?"
"Umm, for two weeks, I guess, or maybe more than that...I'm not too sure right now." The girl beside me seems to be confused. "I see. Did your parents know about this? From the looks of it, you run away from home and suddenly, came here. You seem to be too young to be in the countryside." She perked up. And ouch, she hit the jackpot. Nevertheless, I hid my shock.
"What do you mean? They knew I'm here and it's vacation from.uh.work. I decided to relax in the countryside to stay away from pressure." Well, the pressure is true but all made up. "Well, how about you?" I decided to reverse the boat.
"I'm a student from the school nearby. My house is far away so I rent this so it's easier to go there." Well, she got a more valid reason than mine but oh well.
"Hey, you want to try out their hot spring? It's very good for aching bodies, you know." She smiled. I nodded, only nodded.
I noticed that she's smiling a lot, but I can't do that. Since I found out my sickness, I find it hard to try and smile. I don't know the reason but I don't want to smile either way. I'll never smile again, you see. It's the future of a dying person.
++++++++++++++
"Wow, it's so relaxing." The girl said, sighing deeply.
"Yeah." I agreed. I'm glad it's hot spring inn because I always find hot spring very nice.
"Hey, after we bathe, do you want to play some arcades? They have lots of games we can play, you know." I realized Sango's a bit talkative. Not that I can't imagine.
"Sure, whatever you say." I replied. I was thankful that I'm not alone in this spring because at the moment, at night, it can look creepy if you're alone.
++++++++++++++
Anyway, there are things I need to know about Sango and for one, she's VERY good at arcades! Boy, she must have been here too long that she had mastered all the techniques in this game. For the fifteenth time, she managed to knock out my Chunli with her fighter, Cammy in street fighter game.
"Is that all you've got Kagome?" Sango mocked me. For a weird reason, I fired up inside as I glared at her.
"Bring it on Sango!" I deliberately put out the 'chan' there as a mock, the only thing I could think of.
++++++++++++++++
I'm shifted to my back again. It's hard to sleep for some reason. My watch beeped once telling me that it's midnight. However, whatever the time is, sleep isn't coming over me. I sat up and rubbed my eyes in impulse. I'm thirsty so might as well go down to the lounge and get some drinks from the vending machine. Yep, there's a small refrigerator in this room but silly me not to buy the stuffs needed to put in there. I only realized it at this time of the day.
I walked down the stairs blindly, only on my sleeping gown, when I heard the main door creaked open quietly. I froze. A burglar? I turned around the long dark hall. There's no one else seems to be awake other than me, obviously, since it's midnight.
What am I going to do? Quickly, letting my instinct win over me, I grabbed a wood from somewhere and hold it up cautiously. Kendo is useful at this time. I walked slowly towards the lounge and found it dark. and cold. I shivered; I didn't get my jacket upstairs since I haven't predicted this would happen.
Anyway, suddenly, I heard the soft footsteps coming in front of me. I stepped back, then I realizing I was panting that it was heard by an ear. I felt the burglar felt alarmed because he suddenly moved cautiously. I panicked, so I just whacked down the wood I'm holding and it contacted with a head. I heard an 'Oof' sound as I heard another footsteps. I turned out that it came from the hall and I stared at it with fear, feeling that they had passed her without any notice.
I closed my eyes and suddenly the lights went on. I blinked my eyes open as I looked at Ruriko, the innkeeper, but she wasn't looking at me but to the burglar.
"I caught a burglar, Ruri-" Immediately, she was by the burglar's side. I felt confused. I looked down and saw a white haired old man lying down on the floor. I gasped as I crouched down with them.
"Oh my gosh! I killed an old man!" I felt like crying but I think I don't know how so.
"No, you didn't. You just hit my son." The innkeeper said, smiling at my ignorance, I think. I flinched, scared face printed all over my face. Oh my gosh! I hit her son! Oh no! She'll kick me out soon, I'm sure!, I thought, dreading for it to come.
He groaned, "Ouch, my head hurts." To my surprise, he spoke very healthy and it's not a voice of an old man. And now that I can clearly see his face, I gasped. They looked at me and the man also gaped at me.
""It's you!"" We said in the same time. We paused, trying to process what we both just said.
""Are you following me?"" As if we're jinxing our words, we did it again.
""Stop talking while I'm talking."" We said indignantly but after that we paused, letting the other try and speak first. I was about to say something when I realized that he was also going to speak. I was about to clap my hand to his mouth but his hands were faster and the next moment, I realized that he's clapping his on my mouth.
"Look, what are you doing here? Are you really following me? And how come you're at the countryside? And why did you poke me in the head?" He said in a very fast tone, angry and shocked at the same time. If I hadn't concentrate on him, I'm sure I'd probably not understood any of what he said. He released his grip on my mouth.
I glared at him. "Well, sorry if you think I'm following you, it's pure coincidence, I swear. Mind you, why would I follow you anyway?" I said hotly.
"And for your information, I'm having vacation here. And I also thought you're a burglar." I said, almost quietly. "How about you?" De javu.I think I had some conversation with Sango like this.
"If you already knew, I'm her son so I have all the rights to be here."
"At this time of night?" I asked.
"It's traffic out there, you know! It's not that I'm a super being that could jump in the window." He said in the same tone, glaring at me with his golden eyes. That silenced me, though. He has at least valid reasons and me? I just want to be away from home.
"Sorry for giving you a bump." I said apologetically and he immediately smirked.
"Sure.Nothing serious." He said in a very proud voice. I wonder why. Silence broke in until his mom spoke.
"You two knew each other already? How come?" Oh boy. Oh my.something hit me inside my head, as if in realization. My eyes widen as Inuyasha started to open his mouth.
"We bumped to each other." He simply said and his mom seems to be satisfied with that.
"I see, well, you both needs rest and it's already two for God's sake! Go to bed you two!" She said in authority's voice, effectively ushered us to our own bedrooms.
I lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling. Soon, morning will come and I still haven't got a sleep. I chuckled with a frown, all of a sudden. We're always seeing each other, I thought. Bad sign? I asked myself. but after thinking as I shifted to my side, getting ready for sleep. Nah!, I thought and at last, I went to a peaceful slumber.
To be continued......
