Chapter 9 – The Hunt Is On
"Algodystrophy." muttered Naota, his head buried in his words for his Science class. "A-L-G-O-D-Y-S-T-R-O-P-H-Y. A painful local disturbance of growth, particularly due to focal aseptic necrosis of bone and cartilage. Marjoram. M-A-R-J-O-R-A-M. Any of several aromatic Eurasian or Mediterranean plants of the genus Origanum, especially O. majorana or O. vulgare, having small, purplish to white flowers and opposite leaves. God, this is so damn boring!" He was trying his hardest to get his mind off of what happened, but he just couldn't. He'd always figured Ninamori liked him, and he liked her as well, but not in 'that' way. He felt his face burning again. He put it even further into his brother's old vocab book and started to read even louder. "Uh...er, ALGOL! A-G-O-L. A fixed star, in Medusa's head, in the constellation Perseus, remarkable for its periodic variation in brightness...." His studying, if you could call it that, was cut short by his grade's resident womanizer, Rick, and his friends, Kyle, Yasuo, and Toshi. Rick started up. "Hey, hey, Nandaba!" he sneered, yanking the book from the boy's hands. "Why so red?" Naota snatched the book back from Rick. "I don't know..." he began. Toshi snagged the book this time. "SURE YA DO, NANDABA!" he said obnoxiously. "NO, I don't, so give back the book!" he said grabbing for the book. Toshi just tossed it to Kyle. "Heh! Keep away!" Kyle leapt up and grabbed the book before Naota could. "Monkey in the middle!" Kyle tossed it to Yasuo. Naota jumped to catch it, but Yasuo snatched it out of mid-air. "Come on, Nandaba! Can't you do better than that!" he laughed, tossing it to Rick. He just smiled at him. "See, Nandaba, if you want your book back, you gotta tell us watcha did. That's how these things wo-" He was interrupted by the loud roaring of Inari. "NANDABA!!! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID, YOU BASTARD!" All five boys turned and looked at the fuming upperclassman. Naota looked at him confused. That just made Inari even angrier. He was about to go up and punch him, when two other boys popped up from the hallway and grabbed his arms. "Yoshi! Chill! Calm down!" one said to the enraged boy. Inari was ranting. "YOU LITTLE BASTARD! I'LL KICK YOUR SORRY ASS! TRYIN TA GET WIT MY GIRLFRIEND! YOU FUCKIN WOMANIZER! LET ME GO! I'LL KILL 'IM!" "That's what we're afraid of, Inari!" the other boy said. Rick and his friends looked at Naota and grinned. "Mack-daddy-mack!" Kyle laughed. "Pimp-juice! Pimp-juice!" Yasuo piped up. "You rock, man!" Rick said, congratulating him. "Buh-buh-but, its not how it looks! She came onto ME!" "Sure, Nandaba." Toshi said. That statement pushed Inari over the edge. He pulled himself from the two older boys holding him back and charged at Naota. He grabbed him by the collar. "Don't you DARE lie, you little shit!" Inari growled, and poked him in his chest. "Why the hell would Ninamori come on to YOU, huh? Why?" "I don't know!" Naota said defensively. "She used to like me in grade school, and...."Naota flinched. He saw Inari's fist flying towards him. When he didn't feel any pain, he opened one eye cautiously, and saw Yasuo holding the older boy's fist. "Would you CHILL already!" he yelled. "How do you know that Nandaba's lying huh?" Inari twitched. Yasuo saw that his mini- speech was working, and ran with it. "Besides sempai, doesn't he look beaten up enough already? C'mon, let the little wuss go and leave him alone. You know you could probably beat the living shit out of him (hell, almost anyone can, actually, but that's beside the point) so why do you need to prove that. We all already know that, so there's no need in killing him, right?" "Shut up." he hissed and head-butted Yasuo. He fell flat on his back. Rick and the others ran over to their injured comrade. He was out cold. "Yo, Inari! That was not cool!" Kyle said. Inari glared at him and Kyle shrunk back. "ALL OF YOU MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASSES NEXT." he yelled. "Wow, talk about an over-protective boyfriend!" laughed a familiar voice. Inari whipped around and saw the lanky figure of Spike leaning against the doorframe. "Stay out of this, Spiegel. Its none of your business." Inari said. He just chuckled. Right as Inari was about to punch Naota Spike caught his fist. "The problem is, it really is my business." Spike said calmly. Inari dropped Naota and swung at Spike. He easily dodged. "See, I didn't really care too much when you knocked out that brown-haired kid..." Inari swung again but, once again Spike dodged. "...and I can see why your so pissed..." "Shut it, bitch!" Inari yelled. That just made Spike angry. He gave him a hard jab in the stomach, then a spinning kick to his upper back. "You dumass." Spike said to Naota. "Back off the runt, okay Inari, its hazardous to your health." Inari looked at Spike. "You're going soft, Spiegel." Spike just laughed. "Whatever." Spike started to walk off. "It's not like I LIKE you or anything, Nandaba," Spike said at the door. "but I'm dead if you get beaten up, so try to stay out of fights. I don't want to have to pop up and save your sorry ass every time someone throws a punch at you." Naota just nodded. "Uh... right, gotcha."
Haruko sat calmly on the linoleum hallway, next to the boy she just recently knocked unconscious with her durable guitar. "Heh, what a dumb ass." she chuckled darkly. "But, am I REALLY that hot? Heh, of course!" Haruko pushed back her shaggy, pink hair and sighed. "Hookyin' sucks when everyone else is in class." Just then the bell rang. 'Crap! I'm gonna get caught!' she thought. 'Well, the best offense is a good defense...or, wait, is it the other way around? Whatever.' She threw on her backpack and entered the forming crowd, when she heard Ed calling her. "SEMPAI!" Ed gasped, out of breath. "Ed's been trying to get Haruko-sempai all day!" She looked at the tired teen. "Yeah, what for?" "Edward found this, and thought that Haruko-sempai would want to know about it." She handed Haruko a crumpled up flyer. "Is this for the Macbeth play?" Ed nodded. Haruko looked at the flyer with slight interest. "Hmm, I'll have to think about it." Ed looked disappointed. "But, Faye-Faye is making Spike person try out today, and I thought..." Haruko grabbed Ed by the arm and ran towards the sign-up sheet. "I thought about it, and, I'm in!"
"Say kid, do you know a guy named Spike Spiegel? He's a senior at this school"
"Yup, sure do."
"Well, could you do me a big favor?"
"Depends. What's in it for me, Snow White?"
"Hmph. Absolutely nothing, except the, ah, 'joy' of doing a good deed, kid."
"Meh, whatever. Whatcha need?"
"Just tell him his friend is waiting for him outside."
"Well, does this 'friend' have a name."
"Vicious. Tell him Vicious is waiting for him."
Okay, so this ended up being a continuation of the previous chapter...like a part two or whatever....okay, I should've put it in the last chapter, but I didn't! So freakin sue me! (please don't!) But, anyway, this is the only story where I made it up to 9 chapters! I'm proud of myself! Please read and review, I could use the advice. ~shadow
Ps: did you know that an IQ over 130 is considered genius? Hee hee hee! I'm a genious! Wooo-hoooo! Oh...and thanks once again to microfiber shoelaces...you know, maybe I should just hire you as my editor, huh? ^_^
