Title: Better Off Dead

Chapter Six: Hooky

"Hey Hitomi." The long blond boy only a year older then her waved to her. "Hello Allen." Hitomi played with him with her eyes and lips as they tugged a little smile. "Hey Tomi." Jiro said sitting on Gadess's car "how your date go?" She laughed "I think Van had a better date then me."

"And why is that?"

"Well, Sesshomaru-." Five boys cut her off; they were around her age and a year older or so. Whistling one of them rapped his arms around Hitomi "who about you and me go back to my place?" Allen's eye started to twitch and Sesshomaru balled his hands and almost dro blood. "You should'ent be hanging around guys like the Abaharki." He said pressing his cheek into hers. She turned around and punched him in the face and falling on the ground. Walking over to him she grabbed his collar "You stupid f**k, I am an Abaharki!" and let go of his collar and he dropped to the ground. The whole Abaharki smirked and so did Van. Hitomi kicked the guy in the stomach and spat on him "Don't ever touch me again."

"Whoa Tomi!" Gadess cheered. She looked at the guy on the ground and frowned "Leave! All of you, now!" she yelled as they took off say things like 'bitch', and she laughed at how bad she was.

"So Tomi" Allen said.

"Shut up Allen I'm to tired, Jiro come on it's a school night."

"Its only eleven, I'll be in by twelve 'with' Sesshomaru, right." Jiro elbowed Sesshomaru. "Oh yeah, be back at twelve." They both smiled

"Ok, bye I'm going home." She started to walk back.

"Oh, yeah my mom wants me back at eleven thirty, bye!" Van ran down the street and caught up to Hitomi "Hey."

"Hey aren't you going to hang out with the 'gang'?" she said sarcastically.

"Well, I'm 'not' apart of the gang."

She stopped walking and looked at him "What do you mean 'your not apart o the gang'?"

"Well, I never um, well, told I was apart of the gang."

She smiled "Well, you are now. Unless you don't want to be."

He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her "Thanks."

--School-

"Hitomi!" Yukari yelled as she ran to down the side of the street and caught up to her.

"Hey, so are you going to the dance with Gadess?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course I'm going with him, why?"

"I don't know." Hitomi placed her hands on the back of her head and looked up at the sky "Have fun and tell me about it ok."

"Why should I tell you about it your going to be there, right?" Yukari looked at Hitomi.

"No, I'm not."

"Why, Hitomi?" Yukari grabbed Hitomi's arm tight "I wont let go till you say your going."

"Your not in all my classes, you'll get in trouble." Hitomi said dully, as if she had no life and took her eyes off the sky. Yukari just looked at her, Hitomi has never looked like that ever, well she never saw her that way anyway.

"Hey, lets play hooky." Hitomi turned her head and saw Yukari looking at her with wondering eyes and smiled.

"And go where?"

"To my place well watch movies or something, so do you?"

"Ok lets play hooky."

A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins

I will never ask if you don't ever tell me

I know you well enough to know you never loved me

From anyone other than you?

Why can't I feel anything

From anyone other than you?

And all of this was all your fault

And all of this

I stay wrecked and jealous for this,

For this simple reason

And find a way to blame somebody else)

Played on Hitomi's CD player, Hitomi and Yukari lay on the floor of her room and talked and eat chips "Sesshomaru came home last night and said he got a job with Allen." Hitomi laughed.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I think he felt bad because I yelled at him."

"Me too." Yukari laughed.

They talked for about half'en hour till the door opened "Hitomi?"

"Jiro in here."

Jiro opened the door to her room "Hey why are you home?"

"Why did you call my name when you walked in if I'm still saposta be in school?"

"The door was unlocked, did you guys play hooky?"

Yukari laughed "Yeah."

"Can I play hooky tomorrow?"

Hitomi laughed so hard she fell back and looked at the ceiling "Yeah, you can but not tomorrow." She sat up and smiled at him. "Wow, you should say thanks Jiro." Yukari said smiling "But I guess if Hitomis the mom ya don't have to." And they all laughed.

They desisted to go to the mall and brought Jiro with them. "Hitomi I 'need' a new shirt." Jiro said walking into a store "How 'bout this one?" he pointed to a t-shirt on a manikin it was a navy blue. "That's a nice shirt." Yukari said grabbing one of the shelf and checked to see if it was his size "Jiro you're a size one right? So I should get a three."

"Why a three? I need a two." He asked.

"Its cotton it will shrink and you guys get the size above so it will fit longer, right?"

"Yeah." Hitomi grabbed it and threw it at him "Try it on."

He walked out of the changing "How is it?"

"Its perfect!" Hitomi pinched his cheek and Yukari and Hitomi laughed.

"Hey!" He pushed her hand of his cheek and took the shirt of and chucked it at Hitomis face.

"That's not nice." But he already walked into the booth to get his shirt.

"Meanie." Hitomi mumbled.
