Hi again everyone! I finaly got the chapter done! No thanks to Shadow and Aida
Shadow: WHAT?!
Me: What do you mean 'What'?! You guys suck as Muses!
Aida: *grumbles* I never said that I'd be a 'muse'...whatever that is.
Me: Shuuure, anyways I'm sure you guys want to get onto the story so here we go!
Shadow stayed under the desk as class resumed. The baka furball had decided to stretch across my feet. Oh well, he was warm. Besides, the rain had picked up again. I watched outside the window (I was almost missing my old seat) as the rain pored down. It wasn't as bad as yesterday though. I could still see color in the world. Or maybe the color was the same. Maybe I was a little different…a little more…optimistic. I shrugged, nothing could go wrong today.
::'Nothing'?:: Shadow asked. I ignored him.
As school came around to a close, (I had spent the time acting like I was working while in actuality, I was playing mind-games with Shadow) the teacher stopped class a little early to speak about the fieldtrip.
::Are we going?!:: Shadow asked me.
::No! Even if I was you wouldn't be!::
::Well why aren't you going then?::
::Don't be stupid, Prince Vegeta lives at Capsule Corporations.::
::So what?::
::Baka:: I answered, ignoring him after that.
"These are the students who have turned in their permission slips," The teacher continued by listing off students' names. "Those of you who I did not call, I would like to see you after class."
"Hai*!" The class said as one. The teacher nodded.
"I'll dismiss you early then!"
The class cheered and scrambled to pack their belongings.
"Hey, Aida!" Gohan said, "He didn't call you did he?" I shook my head.
"No Gohan, he didn't." I put some of the books into my bag. Gohan stood waiting for me. "Go on ahead," I said, "I need to talk to the teacher anyways." Gohan nodded and left, leaving me, Shadow and the teacher.
"Aida," the teacher said without preamble.
"Yes?" I finished packing and I slung my backpack on, offering Shadow my arm. He leaped up to my shoulders and I approached the teacher.
"So…where's your permission slip?" I gave the teacher a slight smile.
"My Father refused to sign it. He believes that Capsule Corp. is the work of demons." That comment took the teacher by surprise.
::Smooth:: Shadow said sarcastically, I ignored him.
"You're kidding!" I shook my head. "Well, I wish I could do something for you…but…"
"Don't worry," I said giving him a smile, "I don't really need to go against his wishes."
"You know," the teacher said with a slight smile, "I still might be able to do something for you…you still need to be in school, even if you can't go on the fieldtrip, so how 'bout this." He said…what was he up to? "I have to stay behind anyways so I was nominated 'Watcher Of Those Who Don't Go On This Fieldtrip'"
"That's a long title!" I laughed, he chuckled.
"How about you show up for the beginning of school, I mark you off as 'present' you help me out for an hour or so and then you're free to go!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. After all this time worrying about how I was going to avoid confrontation with Senso-sama, this (totally cool) teacher was handing the answer to me on a silver platter! This day really WAS going well!
::I have a feeling that it won't for long.:: Shadow said.
"It's a deal!" I said, still startled, "Thanks!" I checked my watch, "Uh oh, I gotta go catch the bus!" I said and dashed out the door with a quick 'bye'. I stopped at the lockers to dump off what I didn't need.
"Hey Aida, what's goin' on with the fieldtrip?" that was Gohan.
"I can't go, long story." I said and headed out of the school while Gohan played tag-along. As I walked out of the school, I stopped short.
"Why in the world?" I said. Shadow sent me a question-mark.
"What?" Gohan asked.
"My—" I quickly corrected myself, "Senso's come to pick me up!"
"Oh, that guy who dropped you off at school this morning?"
"Yeah," I said, "That guy."
"Great! I'll say hi to him again!" I felt like trying to (literally) pound some sense into his thick skull. As I was wrestling with the idea, Gohan went ahead and approached the car and I had to (kinda) run to catch up to him.
"Hi!" he said.
"Hi." Senso growled, giving him a dangerous look. Gohan, of course, didn't take either hint and would have continued to try and make a conversation with him had I not intervened.
"Bye Gohan!" I hopped in the car and with one last glair, Senso got the car rolling.
We traveled in complete silence. I think it's a good thing that Shadow had decided to crawl into my backpack when he saw Senso's car.
::I don't like the feel of him.:: Shadow said, ::Be careful, Aida, his mind is dark and horrid. Especially after he saw that Gohan guy::
::Thanks for the warning:: I replied dryly. Even I who had very little in the way of telepathic-related powers could feel the darkness radiating from Senso. What was going on? ::Was this the thing you warned me about in the class?:: I asked him.
::No.:: Shadow replied lazily. I tensed wondering what could get worse, then Shadow continued. ::It was the rain I was talking about. I don't like to get wet you know!:: I almost fell over.
++++++++++++(this is a change of viewpoints btw)+++++++++++++++++
What in the name of Rave's Sword is Aida thinking! Stupid kid! I had ordered him to keep his identity a SECRET and what does he go and do? HE MAKES FRIENDS WITH A DIRTY HALF-SAIYAN BRAT!!!!!!!!!! He HAS to be done away with. Aida I still have a use for but this Saiyan Gohan can be disposed of. He's a risk I cannot afford to have wandering around. If Aida won't take the necessary steps, I WILL. I just have to get that brat somewhere alone. If the power level I sensed was all he had then he won't be a problem. Not to kill anyways. All I have to do is get him alone.
*Hai: I don't remember if I told you before (I think I did) anyways Hai=yes
===========================
Hehe, I cut it close this time. 1007 words! Oh, a little note about all the rain in the story. I live in San Diego and you guessed it!
Aida: Guessed what?
Me: *sigh* never mind Aida……what I was about to say was that we don't get much in the way of rain out here (actually it's been a drought out here for about 4 years) so when I wrote that one chapter about all the rain…………..I don't remember what chapter that was…
Shadow: It was chapters 5 and 6!
Me: *dryly* thanks Shadow…anyways it was poring out here so it got me into the rain-mood lol, the last three days here were rainy days. It makes it scary driving! (I just started driving late last year! Driving in the rain was scary! I actually ended up hydroplaning for a few seconds!!!!!!!!! That was SOOOO scary!)
Shadow: For those of you who don't know what 'hydroplaning' is, it is when the car actually floats on at least a molecule-depth of surface water on the road…The car actually rises and the tires loose contact with the street, causing it to slide, sometimes out of control. It often causes accidents on the streets.
Me: Thank you Professor Shadow! Luckily I didn't loose too much control of the car. I just felt the tires slide like they're not suppose to…my friend (whom I wasn't suppose to be driving) felt it too. Isn't that right Jess?! 'Member we were heading up that hill after DDRing and I asked you if you felt that! I figured it out! We were hydroplaning! Anyways on the news they said there was like 150-some-odd accidents on the roads in San Diego (on an un-raining day there are around 50-60)
Shadow: I hat the rain too!
Me: Hey, don't get me wrong! I LOVE the rain! I got hired the day it was raining.
Aida: Can we talk about the story now?
Me: Sure, I don't know when the next chapter will be.
Aida: *Falls over* THAT'S NOT WHAT I MENT!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: *grins* If you didn't figure it out, that last bit in story was from Senso's point of view. I needed that bit to let you guys know what was going on.
Aida: What last bit? What's going on? What's Senso thinking?
Me: *smirk* I'm not telling you.
Shadow: I know.
Aida: Tell me! I'll get you some catnip!
Shadow: I'M NOT A CAT!!! And just for that I'm not telling!
Aida: *desperately turns to the group* Tell me! Please!!!
Me: That's not gonna get you anywhere.
Aida: *growls* fine, TELL ME NOW OR I'M GONNA BLAST YOU AND THIS GROUP OFF THE FACE OF THIS MEASLY LITTLE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
