Chapter 3: Mind Tricks
I left Hoshinawa to watch the lunches… I didn't see why she was so worried… I was just gonna suggest that he stop messing with the poor guy… If he insulted me…fine, but I never said I would take it by force… If he took a swing at me, then he'd be the one bullying me and then I'd have to take matters into my own hands.
I walked up… "Okay, okay… Break it up children… I'm just trying to enjoy lunch with my friend and you're really starting to annoy me and it's quite aggravating… Just give the dude his…Whatever you took from him… Just give it back," I said matter of factly and calm.
"Oh… So I'm bothering you, new dude, and your girlfriend… Oh I'm so sorry… Here I'll give Cye his bag back and take yours… Or I could keep Cye's and take yours anyways," he snickered as he grabbed my bag.
"Or you can get your filthy hands off of Cye's and my bag and be on your way, as if we've never met before," I said as I glared at him.
"So… You're a tough one are you," he asked. He looked down upon me. He glared at me as I smirked at him… My hands in my pockets. He raised his eyebrows as it began to silence… All we could hear were small birds chirping, but even then they were faint and only sounded after several seconds.
"What wrong," I asked in a soft hiss of a whisper.
"What the hell kind of mind trick are you trying to pull you little punk," he yelled as he grabbed my collar. I looked up at him, my face never changing from the same smirk.
"Ooo… You called me a punk… feeling macho yet," I said. "Or is it macho to pick on people smaller than you or in a lower grade… Or even people smarter than you," I snickered. "Anyone can beat a pathetic little worm like yourself," I said.
"Shut up… Are you saying you can beat me… Hah! Noone can," he laughed.
"I don't even need to lift my fists," I said. He stopped mid laughter and glared at me. He pulled me up by my collar, off the ground.
"What're you gonna do now," I whispered… I threw my voice, making it look like it came from behind him.
"SHUT UP," He yelled as he threw me. I managed to turn and land on my feet, where I skid to a stop, but then started to walk toward him again, my face was blank as people told me later… "S-stay away from me," he yelled.
"Cye," Blue, I mean Rowen, ran up with Sage, Ryo, and one other boy. They stared at me as I walked closer to Brent.
He started to back away as I stared at him. "Cye looked from him and to me and then back… Over and over again. "Cye… Why don't you just go off with your friends… He won't mess with you anymore," I looked to him, "right?"
"I never," he started. I glared at him quickly and I could feel my eyes flash like they did whenever I got really angry. "Y-yes," he yelled as he turned blue, but then paled.
"H-hey… Am I… that scary," I smiled as I turned. "Oh and Brent…" I looked over to him… "I'm a girl…"
"Uh, um… Thank you," Cye bowed quickly.
"Huh… Oh… you don't have to thank me… He was annoying my sister and me… Okay mostly me, but yeah," I explained with a small smile forgetting to speak Japanese. He nodded, but bowed again… He then looked to me.
"You speak English," he asked, he too changing to English. I nodded.
"You're from England… Correct," I asked. He nodded with a smile.
"Hello… My name is Cye Mouri," he said as he held out his hand. I grabbed it and we shook hands.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," I said… "the name's Namaiou Aikaden…"
"So… Do you usually fight bullies like that," he asked.
"No… No not really… I guess you can say I'm an ex-bully," I explained. He looked at me. "Come to think of it…" I trailed off.
"Huh…" he said.
"O-oh… Oh, it's nothing," I waved a nervous hand towards him.
Sage, Rowen, Ryo, and another came running over. "Hey," Ryo said, "thanks for helping Cye…"
I looked to him and smiled… "It was nothing," I said.
"These are my friends," Cye said.
I pointed to Rowen, Sage, and Ryo… Reciting their names as I passed them… "But I can't say I've had the chance to catch your name," I said as I pointed to the last one…
"Hiya… The name's Kento," he said as he beamed happily to me… I held out my hand and he grabbed it happily… We shook hands.
"I remember you now… You were the one in class who kept falling asleep," Sage said… Rowen nodded and smiled.
"Yep… That's me," I smiled happily, proud as I could be. You tell me about something I've done that's supposed to be embarrassing and I'll hold it as one of my proudest moments… Like this one time I pushed my head through an opening in a gate and got it stuck… But hey!!! I got Ryuichi Sukuma's attention and he gave me his Kumagoro (Mr. Bear) to make me feel better, so it was worth it!!! But I have to say, that's mediocre compared to some of the other things I've done.
"Uh… It was nice meeting you, but I need to get back to my sister… And get some food in my stomach…" I said.
"Are you and your sister eating alone," Ryo asked. I nodded and looked to him.
"Why don't you come over with your sister and we can share a table," Cye suggested.
"Really," I asked. All five nodded and pointed over to a table.
"We better hurry before someone takes it," Rowen said.
"Well how about you all come sit with us…" I suggested, "on the grass…"
"That seems like a good idea," Rowen smiled. They all nodded.
"Great… Hoshi will want to meet new people," I explained. "We're over there," I smiled and pointed.
"Wait… That's where Tundra, as he likes to be called, and his gang hang… It's like their own personal territory," Cye explained.
"Oh darn," I rolled my eyes and kept walking. They looked at me like I was crazy and followed behind me.
"You can't use tricks on him…" Cye said.
"Oh double-darn," I said as I continued to walk.
I found the spot we were sitting in and spotted a tall guy and a bunch behind him staring at Hoshinawa. Hoshinawa sat there ignoring anything he said.
"That's him," I asked as I pointed to him. They nodded. I whistled and continued slowly, how we were walking before.
"Scared," Ryo asked as he walked next to me, "he can bend metal bars, ya know…"
"Pfft…" I gave a catty whatever look and carried on.
"Hey… Come on," I heard him say. "Forget the wuss you're with and come with me," He said as he stepped forward.
…ONTO MY LUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My eyes snapped wider and I stopped. "Huh…" They all said.
"Th-th-th-th-that was my lunch… The one Hoshi made for me… Her package of sisterly bondship… How dare he," I growled.
"Hey… That was my sister's," I heard Hoshinawa yell.
"That was a chick," he yelled. Cye and Sage looked to each other, to me, and then to Ryo, Rowen, and Kento. They all nodded. I ignored them and made a mad dash for Hoshinawa as he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up. If you imagine me with very sharp pointed teeth and demon eyes… You hit it right on the head… He started to pull her closer to him.
"FUCK OFF," I yelled as I kicked him square in the face, which sent him straight into the group behind him, "ASS WIPE!!!"
I grabbed Hoshinawa and held her close to me.
"Whoa," Ryo and the rest said in union.
"WHAT THE FUCK," Tundra yelled as he sat up and held his face.
"H-how dare you strike Lord Tundra," his people yelled, but I was to busy kneeling and staring horrified at the giant footprint in my curry.
"Nooo," I said as I put my head down.
"Y-you will pay!!! I will avenge my dearly departed lunch," I yelled as I laid a flower upon the remains.
"Uh…" Everyone said nervously.
I cracked my knuckles and ran at them, while they did the same to me… They all raised their fists, but I ran passed them. "Huh," they all said cluelessly.
"You god damned bastard," I yelled as I hit Tundra into the ground.
"N-nami, Nami, Nami, Nami, Nami, Nami… STOP!!! You've avenged It! You've avenged your dearly departed lunch… Now stop," Hoshinawa cried as she grabbed my waist… I stopped.
"B-but it's dead and never coming back," I said as I pointed sadly to the tombstone marking the burial site of my lunch.
"You can have the rest of mine," Hoshinawa said.
"B-but I mustn't Miss Kushrenada… You need your strength and nutrition," I said as I pushed her lunch away with my toe… Rather dramatically too.
Tundra got up and they all ran away as I stared to them… "Agh… Demon," they yelled.
"H-hey…" I yelled, "Tch… whatever!"
I plopped down as I remembered the five that I had invited to sit with us. I was sure they were long gone seeing as how my lunch getting smashed sent me into berserk mode.
To my surprise, I heard feet shuffling to get over to us. "Are you okay," Cye asked as he stopped. I guess he thought I was hurt when I plopped down.
"Y-yeah… I'm fine," I said as I looked over to him and the rest. "You're still here," I said rather surprised. They all raised an eyebrow.
"It's just that, when Namaiou beats people up… Most people stray away from her…" Hoshinawa explained for me… I looked down.
"I try not to fight, but things set me off easily… I guess they're just my brain's excuses to send me into fight mode… Hm! But really… I had a good reason… He was trying to, if not already, violate MY Miss Kushrenada," I said as I hugged her quickly.
"Wait… Namaiou Aikaiden and Hoshinawa Kushrenada… How are you sisters," Rowen asked.
"We're best friends," Hoshinawa said as she hugged me back. "And she's-" she started to say, but I covered her mouth. They looked to us strangely.
"Yep just friends," I said quickly. "We can't let them know you're thee Hoshinawa Kushrenada," I whispered. She nodded as I let go of her.
"Aha…" Kento said. We all looked to him surprised by the sudden outburst. "You two are more than just friends," he smiled.
"Uh…" We all said nervously.
"No…" I said, "keep this secret okay?! I'm her bodyguard…"
"So she comes from a wealthy family," Sage asked.
"Wealthy is and understatement for how much money her father has," I said as I pointed to her.
Seriously, he has at least 3-5 manors in almost every country. He can have them all destroyed and rebuilt exactly the same down to the very last pebble and still manage to buy all the cars in all the car lots in one whole country… And I'm not talking about one of those peewee countries… And the money is still coming in… He can build so many pools across the world and fill them with chocolate pudding, and then die before he even gets to the middle of them… He's ridiculously rich, it makes my head hurt… But that last example sounded tasty and didn't hurt one bit…
"Nami… Talking a bit to much," Hohinawa said.
"Sorry," I said quickly as I turned to her.
"Well… I'm gonna go find some food… I'll let all of you get acquainted," I smiled and started off.
Yes… Yes… Namaiou isn't one for seriousness… She's not that great at mind tricks seeing as how she spent most of the time fighting with her fist and not her mind… You know what I mean?
