Chapter 8

They Just Keep Showing Up, Don't They?

Last time on The Curse I Never Had -Midori had her first memorable asthma attack and changed into a dog. Haru beat the crap out of Akito. Kisa came to visitMidori and now they have a few more visitors, but who are they?
I have a few more things to say about the thing I said I'd never talk about again. My grandma says that you can have conflicting emotions. I know that emotions was only a small part in this flame. The person (which I'm sure is a guy) said that you can't have mixed personalities. I don't care if I can't because I'm writing a story, not a science paper.
Also, I think that I need to say a few thankies to everyone who left a non-flame review (everybody!) and Bighearted fan, my #1 fan! I loveher works and you should at least try them out, I'm sure you'll at least find one that you like. Also, to my friends from neopets that support me as well. You're all too kind to me! And everybody can be my #1 fan, not just Bighearted fan! No one should feel bad because they can't be #1. More about this in the next chapter.
Also, regrading Midori's hair and eyes. I'm a total space cadet and kept forgetting to remind you (gomen!), but Midori's eye color and hair color are constantly changing. Here's how it works: They change by the nearest member/s near her. Her eyes change to black when she goes black, and change gray when she goes gray. Her hair length will always be the same. When you first saw her, she was nearest to Haru, Ayame, and Ha'ri, just to clear things up. (this was just a review, sorry for the inconvenience! Gomen again!) On with my story!
Midori's POV (continued...)
The visitors were Ayame-san, Sensei, and his editor trailing him, Mitchan. What an odd set of people to see me, I thought. The first thing I shouted was, "Nii-san! Do you know me?" to Ayame-san. I was sure that he wouldn't know what the heck I was talking about, calling him my brother. I guess that I was right.

"Nii...san?" he said rather confused.

"I'm your little sister! Sorry that nobody told you sooner," I explained.

"Oh, I see. But how?" he asked. From there Sensei took over to tell him about the bad thing I did, but before that he told me why Mitchan was here.

"Oh, Midori-chan, I told Mitchan that you're a writer. She was wondering if she could look at some of your work," he pointed at Mitchan. "Mitchan, this is Midori-chan. She had a bit of an asthma attack, but she'll be fine now."

"Oh, okay," Mitchan said.

Sensei took over, telling Ayame-san about space and time continuum and yaddy yaddy yada, as Mitchan and I talked.

"Well, I need to get to a computer," I told her. Apparently she was all ready and had a laptop. I have a feeling I'll be seeing Mitchan a lot more than I ever expected, I thought. I typed in the place where all of my stories were filed and we went over them.

"These..these...These are amazing!" she said with astonishment.

"Wow, are they really that good?" I asked her.

"Of course! I never knew that young people could write like this! It's so fluent and there aren't any spelling mistakes or typos anywhere, so amazing," she trailed off into all of these wonderful thoughts. It was nice to get praised and all, but this was taking it to a whole new level. It was getting to be a little too much to handle.

"Mitchan, calm down. It's not like it's that good. I'm sure that the more famous authors out there are better. I think that you might be over-reacting. Now, is there anything else you want to talk about?" I asked.

"Well, I was thinking that if they were good enough, I'd get them published! These are very good publishing material you know. I think that you'd be way better at deadlines than Sensei! And he calls himself a responsible adult!" Mitchan said as she started to complain.

She saved all of my work into a file and left to go and make sure that everything was in order to be published. Before she left, I had to ask her one favor.

"Mitchan? Could I use a pen name? I don't feel comfortable using my real name," I told her.

"What would you like to use?"

"Hmm, how about K. Kasimana? I like it!" I told her. (A/N: K stands for Kisa and Kasimana is what her old last name used to be)

"That sounds grand! I'll get started as soon as I leave and get home!" she sounded very excited as she went out the door.

Sensei spoke up, "Thanks for getting her off my back for a while! I was afraid that she'd have to stalk me everywhere. It's a good thing to know that you're very good at writing. Do you think that you could proof-read my novels? Most writers are good speed readers and catch all of the mistakes. What do you think?"

"Sounds good," I replied.

"Shigure, are you just trying to find every way possible to get away from Mitchan? It's not going to work. She'll be at your house the whole time with Midori-san," Ha'ri said rather firmly.

He is right. I wonder if I'll be able to keep up with Mitchan and Sensei as well as school all in one? I asked myself. Oh well, more fun for me! Then through the door, came another member of the Zodiac!

"Hiro-chan!" Kisa-chan exclaimed excitingly.

"Hi, Kisa-chan. Your mom told me that you were here. I wanted to see you. What happened?" he asked gesturing toward me.

"Midori-chan had an asthma attack, so she had to stay here. I came to visit her. I've been here since school ended. I didn't have anything else to do anyway. Besides, I was worried about her," she told him.

"Why didn't you come and get me? We could've done something together. All you've been doing lately is trying to stay away from me! What's the deal with that?" he started screaming at Kisa-chan. I couldn't take thing anymore. Hiro-kun was definitely not my favorite character. He could be a real brat most of the time and very pessimistic and sarcastic. I hate people like that.

"Hiro-kun! You're not being very nice! Maybe she was just worried! She gets worried when you get sick, so why can't you understand that the world doesn't revolve around you! It revolves around the sun if you were wondering!" I barked at him with anger. He wasn't improving my day at all!

"You know, Midori-chan is right," said Kyo-kun, walking in.

Well, that was a surprise! Kyo-kun had come to visit. It wasn't meal time and Tohru-chan wasn't here either. That is, until a few more people popped in.

Yep, Yuki-kun and Tohru-chan, next in line!

"How are you doing?" Yuki-kun asked.

"I'm doing fine now," I replied.

"That's good to hear," said Tohru-chan. "I'm so happy that you're doing well. It would be a shame if you weren't feeling good. I hope that you'll be able to come back with us to the house."

"She should," implied Ha'ri. "She's been doing better and didn't have another attack today and that was thankful. It would've meant something bad to have had another one."

Okay, that didn't brighten up my life. But on we go.

"That's so good to hear!" exclaimed Tohru-chan. She's very happy that I can come home. I'm not sure why, but maybe because they get worried about me? No time to think about things like that! There's no way since I hadn't been there for very long. I do have to admit, I want out of here since I can't stand having all of these people around me. It's nice that most of themare worriedabout me, but I really think that it's too much for someone like me, I thought.

"Okay, everyone. I need to talk to Lauren-chan in private, so could you all please go to the waiting room?" Ha'ri told them. What was so important to talk about with me in private?

Find out next time! Haha! I love cliffies! They make you come back, right?

If you guys ever have ideas for a better chapter title, I'm all ears! Just put it in your review! Bye-bye! (until next time!)

The next chapter will be called The Littlest Conversation, if you were wondering:)

Oh, yeah, Gomen means Sorry for those of you who forgot or didn't know.
