Kay kay kay I know, you've all been waiting for the latest release of
School Troubles, Yay, haven't you? No? Sigh...okay then.
_^_ ^_^
"CHUUKA ZANMAI!!! [Chinese...something]" shouted Ren, unleashing a barrage of attacks with his glaive (-thing...I dunno what it's called...nuh). 'He's- he's fast,' thought Yoh. Yoh attempted to dodge, but unfortunately, Ren's chuuka zanmai was too fast, as Yoh got hit in the arm (IYA!!! YOH-SAMA!!!! NO!!!!), and the hit sent him flying into a wall.
"Itetetetete...[ow ow ow ow ow]" Yoh rubbed the back of his head. "Aren't you supposed wear armor or something in a fight?"
Ren laughed, a cold, mocking laugh. "Armor is for retards. In this school, you don't wear armor, as everyone expects you to be strong and survive."
"Sou ka..." Yoh slowly got up, bokkens [? Wooden swords or a bokutou I dunno] at his sides. "Nande..."
"Nanda, kisama? [what, kisama?]" Ren sneered, oblivious to the stares from the other classmates, as he just cursed freely in front of a teacher.
"Why are you so persistent to fight me?" Yoh continued.
Ren smirked. "Because worthless transfers like you should go back to your old school, where you belong!"
"Demo...I don't believe that." Yoh looked up, smiling. "All students should learn in peace, regardless of school differences."
Ren scowled. "Che, you don't know anything, transfer." He spat the word out as if it were a deadly virus. "Get ready for another attack. It's stronger than the last one." Yoh smiled wider as he slipped into an attack stance.
"You're a cretin, do you know that?"
Ren twitched. "Che. Be ready for your defeat, transfer! No transfer can beat ME!" He suddenly attacked, and Yoh quickly blocked it with his bokken.
"You're too angry..." Yoh muttered, suddenly rushing forward, startling Ren with his sudden change in movement. "Amidaryu...GOKOUJIN!!!" (Copied from fansub...it looks messed up...-_-U) He swung forward in a wide arc, catching Ren in the side. 'Bakana [No way]...a transfer...hit me?' He thought as he hit the floor of the gymnasium. Bewildered, the class looked at the unconscious Ren. Tokageroh was amazed. "Maa, I'll take him to the nurse, ne, Tokageroh-sensei? [Tokageroh teacher]" Yoh asked, picking up Ren and putting him under his arm.
"Che...damn transfer...I don't need your help..." Ren had his head down, attempting to pull away from Yoh.
"Na-Nani? [what] What are you talking about, Ren? You need to go to the nurse..." Yoh said meekly, weak from the fight. After saying this Yoh collapsed as well. Horo Horo, Tamao, and Anna ran up (in Anna's case, walked up) to the shallowly breathing forms of Yoh and Ren, apparently worried.
"Oi, Yoh! Yoh!" Horo shook his friend violently. "OKYO!!! [WAKE UP!!!]"
Anna sighed. "We should bring them both to the nurse..." She suggested (more like forced), and walked to the nurse, Tamao quietly following, bringing Yoh (all by herself...poor Tamao). Horo looked at the two, then looked at Ren.
"Oi, you want me to bring this tongari-yarou [spike head bastard] to the nurse all by myself? WAH, HIDO!!! [THATZ SO MEAN!!!]" Horo had anime tears streaming down his face. Pilica walked up to him, sweat-dropping at his antics.
"O-Onii-chan...[brother]" Pilica said, slightly annoyed at her brother. "I'll help. Iku ne [let's go], onii-chan." And, between the two siblings, they carried Ren to the nurse, taking the route that Anna and Tamao had taken (taking the route that they had taken? Wow, I'm running out of adjectives...*smile*).
...And during all of this, Tokageroh sensei was thinking quietly (to himself, what do you think?). 'Sou na...a new kid beat the class champion of this class? Does this mean...he could win the Shaman Fight?' (Oo, could this mean FORESHADOWING?) Coming back down to earth, he asked no one in particular, "Kisama? Tongari-yarou? They're going to get detention for that..." And so our happy little annoying (least) favorite teacher set about writing detention slips.
_*
Anna leaned on the wall, observing Yoh in his sick bed from a distance. 'Ugh, how come he's so adorably stupid?' Anna snorted. 'Atashi no baka [I'm an idiot]. Why am I thinking like this? Naze [why]?' She turned away from the little cot to see a flyer conveniently placed on the wall. 'Hm, strict trainer and fiancée for hire...please call the Yohmei-Kino Co....9-908-555- 0438...pays for housing and food...no medical fault blamed if trainee gets hurt...Hey, that would be good...I would be able to push that person around...Also, I would get a lot of freedom being one's fiancée...' Anna smirked, and then diverted her attention back to Yoh lying on the bed, half dead. (You know, like how he normally looks when he lies down in the beginning of the anime.) Tamao was sitting next to him, praying silently (no offense; this isn't really religious; she's praying to the Great Spirit). "Cere no oou, make Yoh-sama well, onegaishimasu, onegaishimasu...[great spirit, blablabla, please, please]" Tamao repeated over and over again, rocking back and forth.
Horo Horo was crossing his arms and thinking furiously, 'Nanda yo [what!]! Why do I have to watch the tongari-yarou? He's not even my friend...I only know him as a sick stuck up freak with an obsession with milk. Oh well...' Horo sighed, looking at Ren, he got a stress mark (one of those anime things...I don't know what to call them). 'He's even frowning in his sleep! How does he do that?' Horo frowned. "Oi, is Yoh up yet? He should be by now, right?" called he, bored to near death.
"Urusai [shattup], blue-haired freak." Horo horo moped in a corner.
...After a long period of time (*cough* five seconds *cough*), Yoh woke up. "Oh? Doko da koko [where is this]?" He asked, rubbing his eyes. "Why is everyone around me? Am I dead?" He suddenly shivered all over. "I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!" Yoh grabbed Anna desperately.
Uh, and a resounding slap was heard for classrooms around...
"You're not dead, baka. You're in the nurse's office." 'Wah, hido...[sad]' Yoh had (once again) anime tears streaming down his face. "Maa, sore wa sooto. Iku wa yo, minna [well, that's that. Let's go, everyone]. Ren can take care of himself." Anna stood up to leave.
"O-Oi! Chotto matte, Anna [wait]!" Yoh got out of bed, but fell back down again. "Itetetetete...I don't think I can get out of bed..." Tamao gasped.
"Yoh-sama, you have to rest!! Rest for at least an hour!! Your body took some damage!!"
"Yoh...sama?" Yoh was confused (yeah, go figure, I would be too if someone you didn't know started calling you -sama...). Then the bell rang, which signaled the class including Anna, Pilica, Tamao, Horo Horo, Ren, and Yoh to go to Math...poo. "Oh, look, we have to go to math!" Yoh stood to get up, and fell back down again. "Never mind, I think I'll just wait a little..." Tamao nodded vigorously.
* slight change... *
"So, does anyone else have any questions on how to make a sliding bar graph?" The sensei scanned the room.
"Ne, sensei!" Yoh raised his hand, coming in the classroom. "Nanda suh- lidin-guh ba-ru gu-ra-phu wa? [what is a sliding bar graph?]" He asked, squinting at the blackboard. The class sweat-dropped (except for Anna, who sighed).
Shamon-sensei sighed. "A SLIDING BAR GRAPH is a bar graph which looks like this; both sides have the exact intervals, and you are comparing two sets of data. If you don't get it by now, ask someone to help you later," he concluded, pointing at the board. "Now, next lesson. More on graphs..." The class groaned (except for Anna).
***
Yoh stretched. "Ah, iimoji na...[that was nice...]" He started laughing lazily, walking down the streets of Funbari. "Ne, Boro Boro..."
"HORO HORO DATTE WA!!! [IT'S HORO HORO!!!]"
"Sou, sou, Boro Boro..." Yoh nodded. "What's a sliding bar graph?"
"GAH!!! You're hopeless..."
"Na, what's a sliding bar graph?" Horo Horo nearly fell over.
"A sliding bar graph is..." Horo started to say something, but paused. "A sliding bar graph is...A sliding bar graph is..."
"KORA [LOOK]!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW EITHER!!!"
"Duh, math isn't my best subject..."
"A sliding bar graph is a bar graph that extends on both sides, comparing two sets of data that have at least SOMETHING in common, and have same intervals." Horo Horo and Yoh looked at Anna as she walked by them, muttering the answer to Yoh's question.
"Eh? Sou ka..." Yoh went into deep thought (if that's possible ^_^).
"Anata-tachi wa baka. You can't even pass math if you studied five hours a day. Yoh furrowed his brow even more.
"Hm...Demo, I don't like studying..." Horo Horo sweat-dropped.
***
Manta scuffed the pavement with his shoe as he walked home. "Geez, what's up with the transfer? He's so strange...Sleeping in class on his first day! Who does that?" He stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. "And where did he get those amazing moves from?" Manta continued walking. "Hmph. Betsumi [whatever]. I don't have time to think like this...AHH!!!" He looked at the rapidly forming circle around him.
"Heh, so you talk to yourself, huh..." A shadow spoke from behind the circle.
"Ehhh!!! What are you talking about! Who are you?!" Manta became more afraid then he normally was.
"I...am kami no Ryu! Bow down to my majestic regent hairstyle!" And so began the painful beating of Manta with Ryu's hair. Sad.
***
"So, you want to be a trainer for our grandson?"
"Hai." The three sat in lotus position with tea in front of them. "Atashi wa Kyouyama Anna, wa itako. [I'm Anna Kyouyama, a spiritualistic medium.]"
"What kind of itako do you mean?" interrogated Yohmei.
"I can keep my face emotionless for a very long period of time."
"Heh." Asakura Kino's lips curved upward. "I'm an itako too, myself. How many things have greatly moved you in the past?"
"None."
"Excellent. You're the perfect trainer for our lazy grandson. Here's our address. You'll be living with him, and you're his new fiancée."
"May I ask his name?"
"Oh, Yoh. Asakura Yoh."
Anna's eyes widened.
***
"Tadaima! [I'm home!]" Yoh shouted, closing the door. "Eh? OJIISAN!!! OBAASAN!!! AMIDAMARU!!! [GRANDPA!!! GRANDMA!!! {AMIDAMARU!!!}]"
"Don't yell; they won't be here. Besides Amidamaru, that is." Anna slowly walked into view, dragging Amidamaru with her.
"Yoh...Yoh-dono...Who is this scary woman de gozaru ka?"
Yoh's eyes grew huge. "A-ANNA-" he got slapped by her.
"Quiet. I signed up for this job of being your trainer and fiancée for the free food, housing, and money."
"F-FIANCEE-" Another slap...
"Didn't I tell you to be quiet?"
"Hai..."
"Good. Now you can go out to train. Since today is our first day, let me make my training schedule a little more lenient." She took out a long list and scrolled down it. "Okay, today is 'Find a Friend' Day. If you go find a friend, you will only have to do half of the household chores."
"Hai [okay, I'm-], itekimas-"
"Chotto matte kudasai [Wait a minute]." Yoh stopped in mid-step. "I didn't say you were JUST going to find a friend. Find a friend while jogging 10 miles today. If you slack off by any chance I will hunt you down with my handy axe. If you don't do 10 miles by dinner, you won't get any. And you'll have to do the electric chair for an hour before and after you sleep. Tomorrow we'll do 30 miles, with 10 pound weights on your arms and legs." Yoh sunk; it was as if those weights were already upon him. 'I...I have no time to relax...' "And you have no time to relax." Yoh went even lower on the happy scale. "Now go."
"Hai..." Yoh slowly put on his sandals again and jogged out the door. He sighed. "Ah, what is Anna thinking, coming to my house like that? And how am I supposed to find a friend..." Yoh stopped and the thought clicked inside him. "OH! I could ask Horo Horo! ...Where does he live?" Yoh shook his head and continued running, then stopped (again) and looked at the beaten and bruised Manta in the alley. "Ma-Manta! What are you doing here? ...And how did you get beaten up like that? Are you bleeding?"
"GAH SHUT UP! SHATTUP SHATTUP SHATTUP!"
"Warui ne, Manta [I'm sorry, Manta]. You are okay, right! Sou ka [Oh yeah!]!" Yoh said, placing his fist on his hand. "You can be my friend!"
Manta face-faulted. "Friend? Why do you need a friend?!"
Yoh sighed. "Anna's idea. She said to bring home a friend. I was going to ask Horo Horo, but I don't know where he lives."
"Uhuh." Manta nodded slowly. "Well, are you just going to crouch there, or are you going to help me?!"
"Hm..." Yoh thought about it.
"HELP ME ALREADY!!!"
"Okay." Yoh started to drag Manta back home. "Shimata [Damn!]! I forgot that I have to run 10 miles today! No...I've only ran 1/8 of a mile...nonononono..." Manta stared at Yoh. 'Yoh-kun...I feel sorry for you."
"Oh, Yoh, what are you doing here?"
"Ah! Horo Horo, yo!"
"Hai, hai, yo, yo, yo...I'm training; my sister Pilica's making me run. Darn her..."
"Wow! Coincidence! I'm training too! Do you want to help me by bringing Manta home?"
"Huh? Why?"
Yoh frowned. "I have to run 10 miles..."
Horo Horo cried anime-tears. "I feel so SORRY for you, Yoh..."
"I know you do, now go bring Manta to my house! ... You know where my house is, right?"
"No."
"That's okay. You'll find it eventually." Yoh laughed. "Ja ne!"
"Tch. Ano yarou. [That bastard.]"
"CAN YOU HELP ME?!"
"Fine. Mr. Bossypants," Horo Horo muttered and dragged him off.
"WHY DOES EVERYONE DRAG ME!!!!!"
