Call Me Crazy
Chapter 1: In My Life
---------------------
"I'm sure there's at least one kid here that's a good pick." Bankotsu told him.
Just then some kids looked up from what they were doing. "Souten's back." One informed the others.
"Again? Is she ever going to stay in one place?" another asked.
"Nah. She always manages to come back. Gone a week at most." An older one said.
"Souten, back already, this is the 6th time in 3 months you've been sent back and you've been here almost a year!" A black haired young man exclaimed.
She shrugged. "It's not my fault they don't want me."
"If you acted a little more like a nice girl then they'd like you!"
"Why should I?"
"So you can get officially adopted and not dropped back off in a week!"
"It's kinda fun. Like a vacation."
"Not fun for me! Just more papers for me to fill out on your behalf!"
"...So?"
"I have a life too ya know!"
She shrugged.
Kouga scowled. "Jakotsu, Bankotsu, conclude your search, we're about to lock up." He told the two guys looking around.
"Alright."
"Good, I dun wanna buy a kid anyway." Jakotsu told Bankotsu, pouting.
"We will anyway...if we ever find one." he retorted.
"I don't like kids."
"That's too bad."
"Leave!" Kouga demanded, shoving the pair out the doors.
"Alright, Alright. We're going."
Kouga shut and locked the doors behind him and turned to the kids. "Alright midgets! Bedtime!"
"Ok Mr. Kouga." Most of the kids said, walking to their rooms.
"Odd little pups." He said shaking his head. Ever since he had opened 'Wolves Den Orphanage' he had met some strange kids to say the least. But kids were okay.
The few stragglers finally went to bed.
Kouga's blue eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed. "Somehow I get that feeling that...I'm being watched...."
Two sets of eyes disappeared back into their hiding spots.
Kouga turned around. "Oh...I know what's going on...." He said, but, he was lying, he was completely clueless. The two kept silent, watching. "Who's there?"
A small, stifled giggle was heard from under one of the chairs.
Kouga looked under the chair for the source of the sound, and pulled out a young boy, with tanish hair and green eyes by the back of his khaki vest. "Shippou you stupid raccoon!" He cursed.
Shippou just smiled cutely. Kouga smiled. No wonder Ayame liked Shippou so much. "Where's your accomplice?"
"What accomplice?" he asked innocently.
"Spit it out raccoon where's the Thunder Beast?"
He giggled and pointed in a random direction. Then another figure snuck up behind Kouga. "I found the Thunder Beast!" A female voice giggled. A red-haired, green-eyed girl appeared holding Souten.
"Tattletale." she mumbled.
Ayame smiled and ruffled the small girls' hair. "When'd you get back in Souten?"
"A little while ago."
"Oh, brought back again...."
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok." She said cheerfully.
"Yeah, it wont be okay when you're still here 17 years old." Kouga snorted.
"Why not?"
"'Cause, when you turn 18 you're on your own."
"Well, that's a long way away."
"...Yeah I know." Kouga agreed taking Souten out of Ayame's arms. "Now, I'm throwing you two to bed." He laughed walking them to the room that they slept in and tossing them into their beds.
She giggled then called to him. "Night!"
"Night you crazy little punks!" Kouga called, then he and Ayame stomped up to their own rooms, the floor above the kids.
"There were two guys here today." Shippo said, chatting. "They might adopt a kid! Maybe you'll get adopted!"
She snorted. "Even if I did...I'd just be back in a week. Always happens."
"Well...they looked really familiar...I think I mighta seen 'em around talkin' to Kouga a while back."
"Well, yeah, that tall one with the triangle-thingies under his eyes, looks like a girl." Shippou laughed.
She laughed too. "Do you wanna get adopted Shippou?"
"Well, tell ya a secret, I'm up fer it, some lady named Ka-go-me came in one day, and was talking real quiet with Kouga, and then I shuffled through the papers and found out she's coming to adopt me tomorrow!" He said flashing a peace sign.
"Really? That's great!"
"I know!" He said smiling. Then he let out a wide yawn. "I'm going to sleep."
"Night."
"Night."
Then with stretches and yawns they both fell asleep.
"Stand still, Mr. Kouga!" Souten said to the moving man. "How are we supposta play if you keep moving?"
"That's the point!" Kouga whimpered running away from Souten and Shippou.
She frowned for a moment, then got an idea. Getting the other kids to agree was a simple task, and soon they were surrounding Kouga. Kouga gulped, cowering under the stares of all of the kids. A small whimper escaped his throat as they closed in on him. In a matter of moments they had him pinned. "HELP!" He shrieked.
"Great! Now we can play!" Souten said happily, giving Shippou the 'tail' so he could go first.
Just then Ayame walked in. "It's sweet you're playing with the children Kouga, but Kagome's here to get Shippou and its time for lunch."
"Kagome's here!" Shippou said happily, dropping the 'tail' to go greet her.
Kouga jumped up at the moment of distraction. "Thank God for lunch!" He cried bounding into the kitchen.
The other children followed after him to have lunch. "I miss Shippou!" Some of the kids, including Souten, whined.
"Sorry, maybe he'll come around to visit one day." Ayame told them cheerfully. Kouga nodded in agreement as he chewed his hamburger.
