Hey, I bet yins are wondering why I ended the last chapter on such a sad
note. Because it was supposed to be sad. And that ending was really good.
Nice and dramatic and (at times) sad. I like sad, just read Ice Meet Wind!
Anyway, this chapter is a bit of a song fic, but at least this song ties in
with the story! The song is called "Why Don't You and I?" and is done by
Santana. This chappie takes place about a month after the Dark Tournament.
Enjoy.
Ghost and Shadow Ch. 7: The Ningenkai Without Kris
The sun shone through the window of the bedroom, its bright light falling over a form under the blankets of the bed. Kurama, no matter how much he tried, could not block out the light. Sighing, he resolved to get out of bed and get ready for school.
However, it was a full 10 minutes before he actually made a move to get out of bed. During that time, all he thought about was Kris. She was the last thing he had to connect him with the happier moments in his past. Without her, his past would've been meaningless.
I saw the look on her face when they told me about Shiori, he thought. It was as though she was hurt. Like I hurt her; wrenched out her heart and crushed it. It was true. He had been so preoccupied with getting back to his ningen mother he had completely forgotten to say good bye. Kurama had finally remembered once he was on the boat. Turning he glanced up at the hotel and his fox-eyes caught sight of Kris. She was standing on the balcony, and he realized that she looked very beautiful, just standing there. He waved, but wasn't sure if she saw him. The boat pulled away from the dock and Kurama eventually lost sight of Kris. That was the last time he had seen her.
Sighing again, Kurama finally climbed out of his bed and got ready for school. He was an upperclassman now, so his uniform had changed. Instead of being a pink-purple, it was all black with bright red trimmings. It didn't help him with his girl problem at school. It was because of that and his confused feelings about Kris tat made him just not want to go to school.
Kurama walked over to his desk and packed up his school books. On a sudden burst of inspiration he also packed his portable radio with headphones in his bag. I'll listen on the way to school. That way no one will talk to me. As much, to say the least. Smiling to himself, the first smile in quite a while, he went downstairs to eat breakfast. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The freshman ran past him in fits of laughter on the sidewalk. It made him depressed to remember that he, too, had once been that carefree. It had been when he was A young kit playing with his best friend, Kris.
Don't think about her! he mentally slapped himself. If he thought about Kris, it would only serve to make him more depressed than he already was. To get his mind off things he took out his radio. Kurama flipped around through the stations until he found a song he liked. I believe it's an American song. he thought as the singer's voice echoed through his head set.
~Since the moment I spotted you
Like walking around with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies...and it's alright
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never going to come down
If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied
~Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Seems like everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
Sounds like me and Kris, Kurama thought, shocked at how much this song reminded him of their relationship. Then he realized that he knew this song, he had heard it several times before. Without thinking, he began to sing along.
~So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
And slowly I begin to realize this is never going to end
Right about the same you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again'
~When's this ever going to break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around
And it's alright
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never going to come down
If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied
~Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Seems like everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
~So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
And slowly I begin to realize this is never going to end
Right about the same you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again' ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
That really sounds like me and Kris, Kurama thought sadly as the song ended. He pulled his head phones off and looked up. His feet had carried him to his school without thinking. Another boring day in the Ningenkai. I hope I don't get mauled by me 'fan club'.
Kurama trudged up the stairs into his school building, unaware of the pair of red eyes that had been following his every move.
Yay! Chappie 7 done!! I know, it was a somewhat boring chapter, but necessary for this story to go on. Read and review, please!!!
