Episode 14: Way of the Average Teenager
Day 24
"ZANKUSEN!"
POP!
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!"
"So you claim." Motoko sheathed her sword and reseated herself at the breakfast table. Everybody else drew their eyes away from the Sesaru shaped hole in the wall. His monkey had gone flying with him. What had happened probably wasn't Sesaru's fault. But Motoko had never waited on Keitaro to prove his true guilt, and there was no reason for her to change her methods for Sesaru. And Sesaru was worse then Keitaro in his perverted ways.
"That was a pretty good one, I think he'll make it all the way across town this time." Taisuke bowed to her briefly and Motoko inclined her head in acceptance of the praise.
"Thank you...but I believe that if you wait any longer you will be late on your first day."
Taisuke's eyes widened and he spun about to look at the clock. He couldn't be late on his first day! 'If that's the case then why haven't Kaolla and Shinobu left yet?"
The sudden roar of engines had everyone turning in their seats to see a metal turtle the size of a person come barreling down the stairs. It took a neat swerve and headed right for the kitchen.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone scattered to the various corners of the kitchen, abandoning their food and chairs to seek relative saftey. But that wouldn't stop the Mecha Tama-chan. It swept right over the table overturning it and dove down towards Taisuke. He started to leap out of the way but a hand grasped onto his arm and held tight. Taisuke was now trailing behind the Mecha Tama-chan as it turned around and headed for the door. It burst right through the closed door and across the grounds. It was on the way down the stairs when Taisuke was hauled up onto the metal spring turtle's back.
Finally he noticed the two people who had been on the mecha, Kaolla was piloting and Shinobu was sitting behind her in a little saddle with a seat belt. This was why they weren't worried about being late for school. Still trying to catch his breath Taisuke buckled himself into the third saddle and prayed for the insane ride to end. Not the best way to start to his first day at school, but better then being horribly late. Probably.
The arrived at Hinata High School with two minutes to spare. They parked the Mecha and Kaolla hopped off as her usual giggly and happy self. Taisuke and Shinobu on the other hand sort of collapsed off the machine and lay on their backs trying to recover their senses. The most interesting bit was how Kaolla locked the turtle. She pushed a button on the controller she had and a orange field flickered into view and then vanished. Taisuke and Shinobu finally recovered and got back onto their feet, which left only a few things.
"What was that thing Kaolla?"
She grinned and gave them the victory sign. "A.T. Field!"
Taisuke glanced at Shinobu who just shrugged. "So, where is everyone headed to now?" To answer the question Taisuke consulted the sheet the principal had given him.
"I've got Mythology with Mr. Yorimoto."
Shinobu glanced down at her schedule and looked up with a happy smile across her face. "Me too! What about the other classes?"
All three of them consulted with each other for the last few minutes they had and discovered that Taisuke and Shinobu had Mythology, World History, and Art 2-D with each other. Respectivally they were 1st, 4th, and 6th period. Kaolla was in mostly more advanced classes then the other two and they were lucky that Kaolla had Art 2-D with them. Other then that they shared no classes.
And so the day began, Taisuke and Shinobu heading one way, Kaolla heading the other. It was Taisuke's first day of school, he would get to find out what it was like to be a normal teenager and attend high school. 'I wonder what it was about High School that father thought was improper.'
Once at class they found a little sign beside the door that said, 'Take any seat that is available'. It was almost like a restaraunt. The two of them of course chose seats next to each other, their seats were in the back of the room. Along the way Taisuke and Shinobu were watched by quite a few people. Taisuke by the female population of the class and Shinobu by the male population of the class. But because of their natural innocence neither of them noticed the looks they got.
About ten minutes after the class was supposed to have started the teacher still hadn't shown up. Neither had all of the students, most of whom probably had known the teacher wouldn't be on time. One of those students happened to be a friend of Shinobu's. And with time to spare she entered the class and once she spotted Shinobu was on her way back. Shinobu greeted the freckled girl with a friendly hug and introduced her as Akiko.
Before conversation could actually begin Mr. Yorimoto finally arrived in the class room. He was probably in his fifties or sixties, with white hair almost like a band around his head with the very top of his skull completely bald. He heard people whisper jokes about the man, one of the most common things the students called him was Jean Luc, which made no sense to Taisuke. Neither did the student's other comments, things like 'engage' and 'make it so'.
"Ehem. Welcome to Mythology class. While you might get truly introduced to the class or get a syllabus, but I don't do things that way. In my class we get started the first day. And since today is the first day, that means you'll be working. We'll start things off by discussing a classic Japanese myth, that is commonly called the Fuedal Fairy Tale. It depicts the adventures of a woman from an undisclosed future era who goes back in time through a magical well and meets all sorts of magnificent creatures. She ends up going on a journey to collect shards of a mystic jewel that can give demons incredible power. Now open your books to page 37 and we will begin."
There were shuffling sounds as the students turned their pages, and once there was silence Mr. Yorimoto cleared his throat and began to speak. At first everyone was paying attention, but as the minutes passed more and more students stopped paying attention. By the time that the class was all but over Taisuke felt that he was the last person paying attention. He glanced to his side and confirmed his thoughts, even Shinobu was no longer paying attention to Mr. Yorimoto.
Instead she was speaking to Akiko in a language that Drake considered paltry, complicated, stupid, and in general the most irritating language on the planet. A language he hadn't bothered to learn because of its incredible stupidity. It contradicted its own rules many times and randomly made up new rules for certain words. The stupidest language on the planet. English.
Shinobu hadn't started the conversation, though she understood pretty quickly where it was going. It had been Akiko who decided to start off the conversation, and of course ignore Mr. Yorimoto. "You can tell me."
Shinobu blushed and avoided looking at the seat to her left and focused just on her friend. "There honestly isn't anything at all, really."
Her friend smiled in a knowing manner. "That blush says your lying, and you've never been very good at that in the first place. You can tell me, are you more thean friends are not?"
"I...I don't think so..."
"Which means that there's always a chance."
(Fade to grassy area)
Taisuke sighed as he sat down on the grass and pulled out his lunch. So far all three of his periods had been boring. He hadn't really managed to get to know anyone, not in the first day. Akiko had been in his second class, but she hadn't even tried to speak to him.
Before he could even start to open up his lunch he heard the distinct sound of a fist striking bone. He glanced quickly to the left and saw a boy rise from the ground and put his fists up, ready to fight against his opponent. Taisuke quickly surveyed the situation and decided that this boy didn't stand a chance. He was maybe fourteen years old, small, brown hair, and not all that impressive. It was a senior he was fighting, though the reason was unclear. Taisuke made his decision and walked over.
"You better get back down, or I'll have to bitch slap you this time in front of everyone."
The boy shook his head and stayed steady. "No. I can't let what you said slide. You can't talk about her that way, your the one who's the Inu." The older boy rolled his eyes and shrugged, then raised his fists to finish the fight.
Taisuke stepped in between the two of them and stared straight at the older boy. "I can't let this fight continue. Its over, go do something more constructive."
"Feh! I'm not just gonna back down because you tell me to. All I did was call his woman a bitch and he goes and gets pissed off and tries to defend her honor or some shit like that." Taisuke assessed the older boy, he was obviously strong because of his impressive ki. But it wasn't anything Taisuke couldn't handle. The one thing that did surprise Taisuke was the boy's eyes. They were a shocking violet color that stood out framed by his long black hair.
The tension between the two was evident, but that tension didn't continue when a teacher started approaching. The senior turned around and started walking away, but not without throwing a comment over his shoulder. "We'll settle this some other time." Taisuke just rolled his eyes and turned to the boy behind him.
The boy extended his hand. "Thanks for helping out there, the name's Ikari." Taisuke excepted the boy's hand and smiled.
"Shutairo Taisuke."
A girl with red-hair, a shock to see in Japan, came stomping over and grabbed Ikari by the ear. She nodded once to Taisuke and then continued in dragging Ikari away. Taisuke stared after them and heard a few comments fly. The only one he understood was, "Baka-Shinji." The rest was jibberish to him, and sounded like German.
(Fade to classroom)
Fourth and fifth period went by without note, sixth was now about to begin and all three of them would be in the class. Art 2-D, it didn't sound that exciting, but Taisuke had always wanted to learn how to draw. The teacher, one Ms. Yasumi, had them line up along the walls. Once everyone was lined up she began calling out names and telling those students where they would be seated. Upon hearing his own name Taisuke became fully aware again and went to his seat as directed. His seat was in the far left corner of the room at a table, Shinobu and Kaolla were both assigned to different areas.
Taisuke waited patiently as the teacher continued assigning seats. Once that was done they could get to the real class stuff, get to learn how to draw and such.
"Torimoto."
"Hai."
"Far left corner with Shutairo."
"Hai."
Taisuke looked up to see who had been assigned to his table and when he did his elbow slipped off its perch on the table. He recovered instantly and watched the girl, Torimoto, take her seat next to him. Rich chestnut-brown hair cascaded down her shoulders to frame her beautiful almost heart-shaped face and chocolate brown eyes. Her lips glistened enough to seem moist, he wrenched his eyes away from her and stared straight ahead. She was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, and he lived in a dormitory filled with beautiful women!
And then she turned and spoke to him.
"Hey there, I'm Miko." She held her hand out to him.
Taisuke had the strange urge to laugh, but he contained himself. He took her hand and smiled at her and tried not to blush. Her skin was so smooth. "I'm Taisuke. Or Tai if you don't want to say the rest of it."
She giggled. Her voice was rich and incredibly vibrant, and it took a lot of effort to release her hand and turn towards the front again. "I'll go with Tai then. Nice to meet you Tai, I bet we'll have fun together."
He could only nod weakly.
The teacher gave them their assignment. Everyone was to draw something to demonstrate their artistic abilities, just to give the teacher a good idea of what they knew or what natural talent they might have. Taisuke set a blank piece of paper in front of him, took out a pencil, and stared at the paper. He had no idea what to draw.
"No ideas?"
Taisuke turned to Miko and chuckled. "Yeah, my first time doing any real drawing and I've got no inspiration." They laughed together, they weren't too loud though, because by then about everyone in the class was talking.
"You could always draw the class or something like that. It might be a bit difficult, but its probably easier then drawing anything really specific."
"Well I want to see what I can do, I have drawn some before, but not that much. I want to stretch myself, not keep into the confines of things I've done before."
Suddenly she got this sly look that reminded him of Kitsune. "You could always do the Mona Lisa."
"The Mona Lisa? What do you mean by that?"
She laughed at his incredulous stare. "Draw somebody you know, just the face, or the whole body if you want. A portraitish thing."
Taisuke grinned and surpressed the urge to tell her, 'portraitish', wasn't a word. Looking at her he found himself inspired. And he couldn't look away. "Yeah, I think I just might do that. Can I call you Mona?"
She laughed again and bowed briefly. "Certainly Leonardo."
This just might turn out to be his favorite class.
