The Inner Me
By Saikoro
An alarm goes off in the bedroom of Matilda Mattise, AKA Machi. The red-head almost falls out of her bed due to the blaring noise her clock makes. She clambers out of bed and walks over to the alarm clock, which was sitting on her dresser.....on the opposite side of the room. "Stupid alarming thingy...." she mumbles as she slams her fist down on the device, silencing it's sound. It is then that she realizes the actual time. "11:00?! I had this thing set for 8:00!!"
Quickly getting dressed, she walks into the living room of the apartment shared with her two comrades, Kanna Bismarch, and Marrion Phauna. The trio formerly known as the dreaded Hangumi had rented the apartment several months ago, when the Shaman Fight had ended. Today, however, she had found it strangely empty. "You guys here?" she called out, with no answer. Walking into the small kitchen, she noticed a note stuck to the fridge. She pulled it off and read it out loud. "Dear Machi, Mari and I went shopping. We were going to bring you, but you were sleeping peacefully. I changed the time on your alarm so you could sleep in. Be back soon, Kanna". The red-haired shaman sat at the table with a sigh. "They ditched me..."she said aloud. "Why do people always ditch me?"
It was times like these that the girl's usual, care-free self crumbled away, revealing her sad, lonesome, inner soul. A tear rolled down her cheek as she recalled an unpleasant memory from her childhood....
*Begin flashback*
It was a beautiful autumn day as a five year old Machi began her first day at elementry school. After bidding farewell to her parents she entered her assigned class room and sat down. She looked around in awe; everyone seemed very friendly. She felt right at home here. The first class went by quickly, after learning a good portion of the alphabet, it was time for recess. As Machi stepped outside, she noticed all the other kids doing their own thing. She saw a group of girls playing with dolls under a big tree, so she walked over. "Hiya! Can I play too?" she asked. "Sure!" a dark-haired girl replied. She handed Machi a pretty doll, and they began to play. However, Machi was confused. "Why are you using your hands?". "What do you mean?" The dark-haired girl answered. Machi was dumbfounded. "Well..." she said, looking around to make sure no one else was watching. "....I play this way!" She closed her eyes for a moment, then her doll suddenly got up and walked around! The other girls screamed and ran off, leaving the young shaman alone under the tree. "What's wrong?" she asked.....
*End flashback*
Machi sobbed to herself at the table. She hated remembering such things......

So......how is it so far? It's my first fanfic, so it probably sucks royally. ^__^;;;
I hate that there's not many Hangumi fics around, and I was depressed, so I just started writing.
Please R&R. It'll make me happy. ^__^
