End of chapter? Normal? HA! Yup, me again, but who were you expecting? Me talking about the end of the chapter before the start. Yup, stupid, that's Kurmoi for you. =
Second line is my finger which managed to poke my eye over five times today. Here's for the stupidity, guys!
Yup… anyway. James… Hayabusa discovered something about him, yeah? He discovered that he can make one butterfly stay. So…
Dot, dot, dot.
Anyway. Enjoy the chapter! Next chapter: PE lesson! YEAH! Oh! And this story has officially reached over 100,000 words! YES!
"Where's Ryu?" Master Gen-Fu asked concernedly. He couldn't help but suppress a snigger at the unnecessary commotion that was brewing, simply because his friend had decided to skip a like any other normal teenager.
"Wouldn't have a clue, sir. Probably out getting drunk, or-"
"You shouldn't joke about these things!" Icy blue eyes turned to stare at him.
He shrugged absently. "Who said I was joking?" he muttered under his breath as he walked back to the back of the room. The had only been going for twenty minutes or so. There was plenty of time for Ryu to come back in.
Some muttering was audible from the other corner of the room, where Leon, who had returned to school, Bayman and their flunky were talking. One guess as to what about.
"You know, if you like him, you should just say so,"
"What?" Bayman spluttered. "Why would we like that faggot?"
He smirked. "Maybe the lady doth protest too much… and you guys do seem to like talking to him a lot, hey? Don't worry; I'm sure he won't mind…"
"Are you asking to get your head bashed in?" that was Leon's gruff voice.
"Did you hear me say, 'Oh, Leon and co., could you please bash my head in for the sake of humouring me'?" he queried innocently.
"You're asking for it!" the flunky hissed.
He shook his head. "I beg to differ, gentlemen. I think we just had this discussion-"
The door suddenly opened, and Ryu came in, going straight to Gen-Fu, talking for a moment, before his friend came down to the back, sitting beside him, before looking over questioningly.
"What do we have here, Hayate?"
"One calls it a conversation, generally. Free head bash-in with every conversation!"
Ryu smiled. "Sounds exciting,"
Leon and co. turned away, realising that they couldn't win with words, anyway, and he turned back to his friend. "You're in a good mood. Anything I should know about?"
There was nothing else for it. His friend looked really… happy. "Not really. There's nothing to tell. Just… I'm in a good mood,"
"I noticed. Your little ray of light is blinding me,"
"You're so witty, Hayate,"
Suddenly, his friend turned around to see Tina, who had decided to pick then and there to play with his hair.
"Sorry," she apologised. "Just it's so long and all…"
Ryu shrugged and turned back to him as Tina started plaiting. "Why do you sound so interested?"
"Call me crazy. Just you're not usually as happy as this. I was wondering if it was anything you wanted to share," he pushed his own golden brown hair off his shoulder as he spoke.
"Well… there's not really a lot to share, you see. Personally, I have no idea as to why I am in such a good mood. I understand it must be something of an oddity for you; however, there are really no reasons for it,"
He grinned suddenly as Tina suddenly looped the plait around, turning it into a bun. "Wow, Ryu, you look… so feminine,"
"Hardly," Ayane chimed in from somewhere. "The chest kind of gives it away. Or, the lack of chest, if you prefer,"
Ryu raised an eyebrow.
"And besides… females don't have…" Ayane waved her hands to enunciate her point. Tina giggled. He glanced at Ryu, who shrugged.
"Let them have their fun,"
"Fun? What's so fun about it?" he asked Ryu, who shrugged again. "They're insane, I tell you. Totally, unequivocally insane,"
"Now is not the time for you to be discussing the differences between male and female anatomy!" Gen-Fu's voice suddenly boomed from the front of the room. "Save that for the biology !"
Amidst giggling, Ayane spoke up. "But I don't do biology, sir,"
"Well… save it for lunch-time, then!" Gen-Fu slammed a book on the desk. "Now, about Rasputin…"
"Wasn't he the one that claimed mass orgies to be a healing process?" Tina questioned, leaning forward on the desk. "Yet he tries to tell us that talking about the 'differences between male and female anatomy' is inappropriate? Now," here she put on a passable Gen-Fu voice. "Now that the talk of anatomy is over, let's move onto Rasputin's healing processes, including his favoured mass orgy. Was it just an excuse because he couldn't get laid, or was it really healing?" she smirked suddenly. "If it is healing, then it certainly is a nice way to get healed, I'm sure,"
Standing up, she pulled some elastic bands off her wrist. "Oh, Hayabusa…"
"Ryu is fine,"
"Fine, first name basis, Ryu, I'm playing with your hair again,"
Ryu looked across at him. "Do I even get a choice?"
He grinned. "I think that's the point,"
The next thing he knew was a rather scary sight greeting him.
"Ryu, wake up, you turkey,"
"Turkey? How harsh," Unsurprisingly enough, his friend had woken up before he even had a chance to touch him. "What's wrong?"
"Look at your hair,"
"How can I?" His friend sounded slightly aggravated. "It is connected to my head, remember,"
"Oh… so it's not a wig?"
The glare he got answered that question, but…
"Sorry… glares don't work so much when you look like a country farm-girl,"
"What?" Ryu instantly put both hands to his hair. "Tina, what have you done?"
"Don't take it out!" she exclaimed instantly. "It looks really cute!"
He raised an eyebrow as Ryu immediately set about doing what Tina had told him not to do, much to everybody's amusement. Tina immediately set about not letting him do so.
From the front of the room, Kasumi turned around to see what was happening, and smiled at the sight. "It looks cute," she mouthed from her desk. He gave her a thumbs-up to show that he understood.
Looks like everything's back to normal. Or as normal as being a student in this school can get, anyway. And except for Ryu's hair. Other then that, I suppose we're normal…
