------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday morning Tamara woke up a little more edgy then most days when the had a mission.
'Something bad is going to happen I know it' thought Tamara
Tamara squeezed the idea out of her head and put on one of her fathers old green tank tops on. Green really wasn't her favorite color but anything that belonged to her father seemed to give her strength and she'd most likely need it to get through the day and the mission.
"Come on Mara, your breakfast is getting cold and your gonna miss your bus!" yelled Pai half asleep from the kitchen.
Tamara entered the kitchen to her mother still in her PJ's and sitting on the counter drinking coffee.
"Coffee this morning?" asked Tamara with a smirk. Her mother had been switching from Green Tea to Coffee and back to Green Tea again every morning all her life.
"Green Tea is good in the morning but does nothing for my need for caffeine" came one of her usual answers.
"If dad was here he would tell you Green Tea is healthier" said Tamara pulling up a chair to sit in.
"Then he would take my coffee cup and boil some water while drinking my coffee"said Pai with a half hearted laugh that showed she missed him more then she let people know.
'But I know you better then that Mom...' thought Tamara. In a desperate need of a change of subject Tamara looked at the clock.
'Still some time before the bus comes'' thought Tamara looking back at her Mom.
"Are you going to Yuy Corp. today?" asked Tamara tapping her ring on the table, a habit she picked up from her Mom.
"Yeah, I might not be home when you girls get back from her mission" Pai looked at her daughter with mild concern on her face. "You girls be careful over there, one broken bone and all of you are not allowed on missions again, you understand that?"
"Yes, Mom, you've told me this a million times" said Tamara only half listening. Her father had taught her how to put broken bones back into place at a very young age so Tamara and her friends never had to worry about getting caught having broken bones.
"I mean it Mara. Its only because Umi talks Quatre into it that Naomi can go on missions and Wufei would like nothing more then to have Cress doing womanly house work. So your answer isn't yes Mom you've told me a million times" said Pai seriousness written o her usually cheerful face.
"All right Mom I'll be careful" said Tamara glancing at the clock. "Shit!" yelled Tamara grabbing her back pack and running out of the house to where the bus would have been. "Damn it..."
Tamara ran to where she knew another bus would stop, not her bus but a bus nonetheless. She saw the bus stop at a house and ran to get on.
"Ms I missed my bus, may I ride this one?" asked Tamara nervously.
"No need to be so formal child, of course you can. Sit on either side you like" said the lady who looked to be in her mid-forties.
"Arigato" said Tamara bowing slightly before entering the noisy bus.
"Tamara sit with me!" yelled a voice from the back
Tamara looked up to find Kenji waiving his hand wildly to get Tamara's attention. She heard small snickers from people around them but chose to ignore them as she walked over to where he sat and sat down.
"I'm never gonna hear the end of this one..." said Tamara a weary smile on her face.
"What are you doing here?" asked Kenji curiously smiling at her.
"Missed the bus" was her only answer as she tiredly closed her eyes.
Flashback
Tamara watched as they dropped an empty coffin into the grave. It was empty as in without a body but was full of family photos, letters they had all wrote to him that they had wanted to put in, and other personal things. She watched as people came up and said prayers. She even heard the Noventa family came. She looked at her mother who's eyes were blood shot from crying herself to sleep the night before. Tamara wanted to brake down and cry but she had no tears left to shed. So she stood as they lowered the coffin into the grave, she stood there as they filled the grave up with dirt, she stood there as people began to leave, just stood there staring at the words on the head stone, HEERO YUY- LOVING HUSBAND OF PAI YUY AND DEVOTED FATHER TO TAMARA YUY. When it started to rain Pai came to get her.
"Tamara its time to go" said Pai in a raspy voice that did not seem her own.
When Tamara did not respond Pai put her arms around her to pick her up. It was then that Tamara broke into a fit of tears and flung herself at the headstone grabbing it tightly ignoring the whispers saying that a funeral is no place for children.
End Flashback
Tamara awoke to gripping soft and clothy and her head against something warm. When she came to her senses she found she was laying against a shoulder that belonged to none other then kenji and she was gripping his shirt.
"Tamara we are here" he said whipping away a stray tear while trying to hid the fact he was blushing.
Tamara who was beat red found herself speechless so she faked anger. She grabbed her back pack and walked off the bus in an angry manner but not before thanking the bus driver once again.
"Tamara where were you this morning!" yelled Naomi as Tamara sat next to her in home room.
"I missed the bus so I road the one that stops a few blocks over" said Tamara trying to organise her thoughts
'Just find the pencil, find the frickin' pencil, WHERE IS THAT PENCIL!' thought Tamara trying not to think of Kenji, that dream, or how hot kenji looked when he whipped that tear away 'DAMN!'
"Whats wrong?" Naomi asked her unusually quite friend.
"I had a dream" said Tamara finally finding the pencil and putting it on the desk.
"Oh" said Naomi giving a sigh of relief that nothing truly offal happened.
"And when I woke up my head was on Kenji's shoulder" said Tamara the blush returning to her face.
"What?" said Naomi suprised "he was on the bus?"
"Yeah go figure" said Tamara giving a slight laugh. "Always where you least expect him"
"Hey Tamara are you feeling better?" asked Kenji popping his head into the room. Tamara and Naomi looked at each other and laughed.
"Kenji what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in home room." asked Tamara still grinning.
"Yeah, home room goes by last name and this is home room for V-Z and your last name starts with N " said Naomi giving Tamara a "I know you like him look" that made Tamara blush and turn away from Kenji.
'I don't like him. He is childish and annoying and it makes me want to hit him' thought Tamara but somewhere in the back of her mind she asked herself 'If you don't like him whats with all the blushing' she pushed the question out of her mind not willing to answer it.
"Well, I got to get to class now' said Kenji looking at his watch before waving as he ran out the door.
Naomi looked over at Tamara and grinned "Tamara"
"I don't want to hear it Naomi, I do not have a crush on him!" said Tamara matter of factly.
Naomi just grinned wider "I never said you did but since you put the thought into words you must have one"
Tamara's mouth hung open when she realized this but soon just glared which made Naomi laugh. --------------------------------------------------------------- I haven't the patience to type up any more but if people are still reading this I might update really soon. I'm not gonna make you wait a year again but I do have some more written and I have the way I want it to end written down and guess what? I've started a sequel!! I just have to finish this one...
Anyway
Read & Review
Blessed Be
