Shidobu's First Case!
"Six-thirty already?" he mumbles, kicking the blankets away as he flops out of his futon. He goes over to the small dresser across teh room, pulling out a light blue dress shirt, and black pants. He bundles the clothes under his arm, covering a yawn with the other hand, as he turns to push open the door to his bathroom. Soon water can be heard and after a few more minutes, Shidobu walks out of the bathroom, tugging his shirt over his damp hair, while walking into the living room of the apartment.
"Mornin' Kiri," He yawns to a plump grey cat curled up on the low table surrounded by miscelanious plates, soda cans, and eating utensils. Kiri yawns in responce, flicking his tail, and blinks green eyes at Shidobu, who is busilly clanking around the kitchen, pulling out the requesites for the morning meal. After a few minutes in preperation, he turns with a cup, saucer, and plate with a box of rice balls.
"Rice balls again, and of course you get milk," He says conversationally to the cat, shaking the carton of milk. Shidobu kneels on one of the cusions around the low table, setting the objects in front of himself and Kiri, pooring out milk for the both of them, before biting into a rice ball.
"I wonder what will happen at school today?" Shidobu askes of Kiri.
Kiri simply licks at the saucer of milk, then looks up and meows at Shidobu, seeming unconcerned.
"Hehheheh, well guess I"ll just have to find out eh?"
Shidobu continues to chuckle softly as he finishes off the rest of the rice balls, and milk. He then hops up and grabs a black shoulder bag, slining it over his shoulder as he kicks on his shoes, waves good bye to Kiri, and walks out the door, locking it on his way out. He turns out onto the street and then over to the bus stop, waiting for the big yellow bus to show up and take him to another drab day at an unfriendly place. As the bus turns the corner to his street, Shidobu sighs, thinking, 'I hate this school, its full of a bunch of cowards, I'd much rather be with Urako....'
The bus pulls up and the doors open. Shidobu steps in, plunking his cash to let him stay on. All of the kids go silent upon his appearance, shrinking away from him. He gazes silently at them, with a blank face. He spots an empty seat, some where near the middle and ambles over to it, taking a seat gazing out the window. After several minutes of silence, and quiet reflection on the nature of the other "Students" he's forced to be with, the bus arives at the school. He gets up, as every one else silently waits for him to depart before even moving. 'I hate this school,' he thinks passionatly.
He walks out to the bus, repeating the scene from the trip that morning, as he finds himself back at home. He walks up to his apartment, unlocks the door, comes in, drops his bag, and flops down on the couch with a sigh.
"Kiri, don't ever go to school, it sucks," Shidobu declairs to the sleepy cat curled up on the top of the couch.
The cat opens an eye and peers intently at Shidobu for a few moment, before closing it again with a large yawn.
"Well, at least I can watch tv now, an' then practice some Karate...." Shidobu mutters punching the buttons on the remote.
The screen of his small tv flickers on, and bounces from a few channels, finally setting on Fox, with Law & Order. Shidobu watches this for a few moments impassionatly before flicking for a new channel. Before he can see what it is though, the door bangs open, with a pretty blue hair woman marching in.
"Shidobu, we've got a major problem!" the woman declairs, slamming the door shut and planting her fists on her hips to face Shidobu.
"Really Botan? What is it, more imps?" Shidobu says blandly, turning the tv off.
"No, far worse, a demon has gotten loose, and he's coming here. There's an object he's after. Koinma thought he could hide it in the real world, away from the demons that could use it, but this demon found where it is. You have to stop him Shidobu." Botan says with a slight panic to her voice.
"Its about time, I got a real assignment," Shidobu mutters as he hops up from the couch, walking to his room, to retrieve a sheathed katana, and some shrukien, and kunais. "Lets do this," he says grimmly.
