Random Rockstar: W00t! Panda! Yes Kurama said, "Shall" and yes Hana was reading Silas Marner. I have to read that…or else I'll forget. And the Squirrel named Hana. She thought it would be funny to have a crazy person named flower sunflower.
Oh yeah, I had a little trouble with adding the chapters so Panda helped me! Sorry if I confused anyone. Oh yeah, my dear friend, the Squirrel, helped name Hana. Her pen name is Onmyojitsu; she has really funny stories on there! Read them! Okay, on with the chapter!
Chapter 3: School
"Hey Hana," Kurama said as Kiki led him into the kitchen. Hana waved as she drank her milk.
"Hurry up or you'll be late," Kiki said.
"No, she can take her time. The school isn't that far," Kurama said.
"It's okay, I'm done," Hana said. She picked up her bag and walked towards the door.
"Bye dear," Kiki said.
"Bye mom," Hana said walking out the door with Kurama.
"Where was your father?" Kurama asked while they were walking.
"He's at work. He leaves an hour earlier since his work is farther away," Hana said swinging her back.
"I see. You know what?" Kurama asked.
"What?" Hana asked.
"Your birthday was last week right?" Kurama asked.
"Yes," Hana said eyeing him suspiciously.
"Maybe you and me can go somewhere to celebrate your birthday," Kurama suggested. Hana smiled.
"That would be fun," Hana said.
"Where would you like to go?" Kurama asked. Hana shrugged.
"You pick the place," Hana said as they reached the school. Almost immediately after they entered the schoolyard girls surrounded them. They all pushed Hana away.
"Shuuichi go out with me!" one girl cried.
"No me!" another girl yelled.
"I'm president of his fan club, he should go out with me!" a girl near Hana yelled.
"Shuuichi I love you!!" several girls yelled. Hana stared at Kurama who was lost in the sea of girls. Eventually he found a way to push through.
"He touched my arm! Shuuichi touched my arm!" a hysterical girl yelled. Kurama ran over to Hana and grabbed her wrist.
"If we run into the school, they'll stop chasing me," Kurama quickly said. He started to pull Hana towards the school. Hana noticed as they were running to the school several boys were giving Kurama dirty looks.
"They all must be jealous of Shuuichi, with all those girls chasing him," Hana thought. They finally reached the school. When they got inside Kurama sat down and rested his head against the door.
"What was that all about?" Hana asked.
"What do you think?" Kurama asked.
"I didn't know you were that popular," Hana said. Kurama glared at her, which made Hana laugh. Suddenly Kurama's heart stopped. (A/N: No he's not dying. This IS a romance get it?) Hana's laughed sounded so pretty to him.
"This is so weird. Why is Hana's laughing making me so nervous?" Kurama asked himself.
"Are you okay?" Hana asked.
"Uh…I'm fine…just a little tired from running," Kurama said. Hana rolled her eyes.
"Sure you are," Hana said. Then the school bell rang.
"Time for class!" Kurama said.
"Oi, these classes are so boring," Hana said as they were walking to their last class.
"Don't worry. Biology is my favorite class. As I say, save the best for last!" Kurama said trying to cheer Hana up.
"You don't say that," Hana said elbowing him.
"Fine you're right, I don't," Kurama said. Hana laughed again making butterflies in his stomach.
"Shuuichi!" a girl called from behind him. He and Hana turned.
"Um…hello Malin," Kurama said.
"Who's this? You've been with her since school started," the girl, Malin, said almost evilly.
"This is Hana. She's my new next-door neighbor. We also happen to have the same classes," Kurama said.
"Really? Well, as long you're single I'm still available," Malin said.
"I'll keep that in mind," Kurama said. Hana noted the sarcasm in his voice, apparently Malin hadn't noticed. Malin walked away, but not before giving a threatening look to Hana.
"Ignore her. Okay, the teacher lets us sit anywhere so you can sit next to me," Kurama said.
"Good," Hana sighed. She had been sitting next to girls who did nothing but give her dirty looks for even talking to their "Precious Shuuichi". Kurama smiled. "It's not funny."
"I'm not laughing," Kurama said, defending himself.
"You were smiling," Hana said.
"You just amuse me," Kurama said. Hana rolled her eyes. They sat down together at a desk. Several girls walked into the class giving Hana dirty looks. Hana looked over at Shuuichi.
"Ignore them. They think we're going out," Kurama said.
"Oh," Hana replied.
"Though, I wouldn't mind if we did go out," Kurama thought to himself.
"Biology is my new favorite class," Hana declared walking home. Kurama laughed. Hana smiled. She liked Kurama's laugh.
"You like it only because you can't see the girls give you dirty looks," Kurama said.
"Yup!" Hana said cheerfully, "Also because you're sitting next to me."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kurama asked, surprised.
"You can help me if I have any trouble. It's better than asking your little fan girls," Hana said.
"True," Kurama said, his heart sinking. "Maybe she doesn't like me in that way…" He sighed.
"You okay?" Hana asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine," Kurama said.
"Are you sure? You're not sick or anything?" Hana asked. She put her hand on Kurama's forehead.
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me," Kurama said. Hana put her hand down and smiled, "But we will be celebrating your birthday tonight."
"Okay. What are we doing?" Hana asked.
"Uh…I don't know yet," Kurama murmured. Hana stared at him. The she shook her head.
"Well I gotta go do my homework," Hana said and ran into her house. Kurama smiled and started to walk toward his house.
"How was Hana at school Shuuichi?" Kiki asked from the kitchen window of her house.
"She did fine. We have all the same classes," Kurama said, "Um, I'm going to take Hana out to celebrate her belated birthday tonight, and I was wondering, what should I do?"
"Well…before she was sick she loved to sing. If you can find a place where she can sing that would be wonderful for her," Kiki said.
"Hm…there's a karaoke place at a nice restaurant," Kurama suggested.
"That would be perfect," Kiki said.
"Okay, um…then I have to go make a reservation then! Thank you!" Kurama said and ran into his house. Kiki started to laugh.
"What a sweet young man," she said to no one in particular.
W00t! Chapter 3! I just learned in school about the three types of fiction books, Novels, Novellas, and Short Stories. A novella is too short to be a novel, but too long to be a short story. This fan ficcy is going to be a novella, about 6 or 7 chapters. Hope you enjoy the rest! ^-^
