I Want to See the Human World
Chapter 2: A Female Teacher! What?!
The shopkeeper looked at her with wide-eyes. "How did you that?!"
Kaoru merely put her index finger to her lips. "Shh," she whispered," It's a secret." She handed the flowers to the shopkeeper. "For you, because it wasn't your fault that the flowers lacked a little attention."
"Oh, u-um, thank you, um, miss?" the shopkeeper replied as she shakily grabbed the once-dead flowers," May I ask you what your name is? I'm Misao."
Kaoru smiled. "My name's Kaoru." Shiroi pounced out of Kaoru's bag and leaped onto her head. The snow-white fox hissed at the stunned shopkeeper. Kaoru shook her head in disappointment. "Sorry, Misao. Shiroi doesn't like humans- er, I mean, humans that aren't me." 'Phew, I nearly let it slip just then.'
Thankfully, Misao didn't suspect a thing and just smiled at the nervous Kaoru. "It's ok, Miss Kaoru. I'm used to it. If you must go, then go. I'll look forward to your return."
"Er, thanks?" Kaoru said as she began walking away from a newfound friend. "I hope to see you later." She put on her hood when the sun rose higher in the sky.
Kaoru continued on until she reached a high gate surrounded by at least 50 guards. 'Hn, must be something important in there. Oh well, I'll just have to sneak in. I just hope that they have a few food shops in there. I'm starved.' She looked up at the sun, this time without squinting. "Jeez, it's already 1 o'clock. I'm hungry," she said out loud.
One of the 'nice' guards just happened to hear her and went up to her. The others remained somber and tried to ignore the guard that was shirking his duties. "Hey, what's a little missy like you doing in a little place this? (Gee, guess who that is...) I'm Sanosuke, but you could just call me Sano."
Kaoru looked up at the tall, rooster-head guard. She asked curiously," Rooster head?"
Sano was stepped back, blushing. "H-Hey! No one calls me by that name!"
"Of course," Kaoru said, removing her hood," Well, 'cept me 'cause I'm special. Right, Sano-kun?" She eyed him in a joking kind of way.
"No way!" Sano shouted.
"Hey! Is there a problem, Sagara? Can't you handle a woman by yourself? Pathetic," the other guys said to him from afar.
Kaoru put a finger to her lips, signaling Sano to keep it down. "Sano-kun!" she hissed," You're going to get me in trouble!"
Sano lowered his volume. "Oh, yeah, sorry. But what are you doing here? Did Battousai let you come? How'd you get him to let you in the human world?"
Kaoru had a sweatdrop above her head. "Well, that's the problem! He didn't."
Sano shook his head at the sneaky Kaoru. "Seriously, jou-chan. You have to stop doing that. You'll have Battousai die from a heart attack if you keep this up. He's your bodyguard, well in my words, your nanny, so you have to at least tell him when you're leaving." (Ha! Battousai a nanny! Imagine that! Ha! ; P)
Kaoru sighed. "You of all people should know that he hates it when vampires interact with humans, especially when I'm the one playing the role of the vampire. Besides, the vampire world is so boring. I mean, it's annoying enough there's barely any daylight in the kingdom, and, if there is, everybody starts panicking. They keep running back and forth, back and forth. Seriously, vampires can be such wusses sometimes. They act all big and tough, but in truth they get scared of even the smallest peek of light."
"It's pathetic I tell you. But humans, nope, not them. They're not afraid of some sunlight. In fact, they enjoy it. That's why I prefer to be in the human world rather than the vampire world. It's sunnier and full of joy. Plus, the humans here are kind of nice, unlike the creepy vamps at home. They either hit on you or try to get you in their bed, thinking that you're rich and love to give away expensive presents. The people in the kingdom need to change their ways. Otherwise, I'll die single and non-married. And you know how everybody would hate that. Besides, I have no need to get married. My dearest little sister, Haru, already got married and she's now named Queen of the Vampire World. She doesn't need assistance in ruling. She can handle herself just fine."
Sano looked shocked. "Lady Haru already got married? She's only at the tender age of 211. She should wait at least a few more hundred years to get married! So young!"
"Tell her that, will you?! I don't want to hear your complaints!" Kaoru snapped at him, obviously angered," And you! What right do you have to choose when she gets to marry? You have no right!"
Sano rubbed the back of his hand. "Oh, huh? Yeah, yeah, sorry, all right? It's just that I've been in the human world for so long that I kind of lost all hope of communication between me and the vampire news. That's all. Don't be so fussy. Oh, hey, by the way, why are you here anyway?"
"I'm not quite sure about that myself," Kaoru replied honestly," I just feel pulled towards this place. Someone's calling out to me. Asking me to come to them and tell them it's all right. I don't know. It's just a feeling. Maybe I'm hungry. God, come to think of it, I haven't drunk virgin human blood in 2 years. Man, could I get thirsty or what?"
Sano turned around and beckoned Kaoru to follow him. "Fine, fine. Just don't tell Battousai I let you in, or else I'll get the beating of my life," he ranted," But hey, jou-chan. You have to be careful when you go to the human world, especially in this area." He stopped walking.
Kaoru wasn't paying any attention and therefore bumped into Sano. "Huh? Oh, were you saying something, rooster head?" Kaoru joked.
Sano's patience was wearing thin. "This is way serious, jou-chan! I'm telling you this has got to be the worst part of the human world. Well, for me 'no', but for you 'yes'. The rules of the humans here are definitely not like in the vamp world. Women are considered like crap not unless you're utterly rich, beautiful, and disgustingly respectful to men."
This time, Kaoru was lost. "What're you talking about, Sano-kun? I'm not crap. No woman is."
"That's my point, jou-chan! Men look down upon women. Women have no rights such as speaking even when not spoken to, voting, or even dining in the same room as the men. To me it's disgusting. But hey, what can I tell you? These people pay me damn high salaries just I'm a guy, so you could just imagine all the bonuses I get for just ratting on one woman. It's just not right I tell you...not right. That's why you have to be careful. If you go even near a man they just might arrest you. And I can't do anything because I'll lose my $10,000 holiday bonus."
"Sano..." Kaoru glared at him.
"Ok, ok, I'll do the best I can to get you out of situations, k? But if you get thrown into jail even once then I'll have to return you to my old buddy, Battousai. Got it, jou-chan?" Sano stared intently in Kaoru's eyes, checking if she would lie her way out of this one. Fortunately, she didn't.
"Yeah, whatever. Just get me into the damn kingdom. This conversation is beginning to irritate me," she answered haughtily.
Sano said sarcastically," Of course. Right away, your highness."
Kaoru shot him another glare. "Don't mock me, your rooster headness."
"Man, you're English seriously sucks, you know that?" Sano laughed. Kaoru bonked him upside the head. Thankfully, the guards didn't see Kaoru do that so they didn't arrest her.
"Hey, if I said it then it must be an actual word. Besides, I'm special." She smirked lightly.
"Yeah! Special in the head!" Sano stuck his tongue out.
"Don't make me cut that tongue out, you stupid rooster!" And so this chapter ends.
Author's Note: Ok, yeah. So this chapter was a bit longer than the last one, but I'm trying hard! I'm trying my best to update everyday, but I'm failing...utterly! Well, I hope to get more reviews. (My fic doesn't seem to be very popular.) And thanks to Female Hitokiri Battousai and Sakura Butterfly for being the first people to review! Thanks! I love you guys! Until the next update... see ya!
