Some of the characters added are of my own and not related to other anime, in short, ORIGINAL. So please, enjoy reading and review it! This is my first taste of writing fanfiction, and I'm not too good at English, so please BEAR WITH ME...)
SAMURAI PHANTOM REKKA: CHAPTER ONE
Episode One: THE POOR RAVEN BOY
KKKRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sound of the alarm clock doesn't seem so alarming for the raven-haired sleepyhead. He just snuggled into his scarlet blanket with designs of faces of cute, little tiger cubs.
KKKRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It continued to wake him up. Maybe he felt so sleepy yesterday evening due to his assignment or his favorite late night T.V. show. The alarm clock almost danced because of the noise...
At last he fussed off. Tapping his upper bed desk to the alarm clock with his left hand, he picked it up, still ringing. Slowly he opened his eyes to see the time. Though half-closed, he could clearly see the big hand on number twelve and the small one on number seven.
It's seven o' clock.
"HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!"
And due to being surprised at the time, he tossed the clock away, OUCH... it broke.
He quickly got up, not fixing his bed, dressed up, tossed his dirty clothes and put on his blue gray school uniform, fixing his things but got messed up by smudging black ink of his last year's ballpen, ate his leftover rice ceke from the refrigerator for breakfast, and finally went out of his two-storey old-fashioned house without locking the door nor the gate.
But it's still seven-twenty and yet in a hurry? Isn't that class hours starts supposedly eight? Yeah, he has the right to be in a rush. He just have to come to school by foot--just a good NINE KILOMETERS before reaching it.
NINE KILOMETERS AWAY FROM HOME? How about taking a taxi? He wanted to, but for him his allowance is not enough for a taxi ride. After all, walking is a good exercise for him. He even don't have time to keep some money for a bike. Most of his allowance would be just good enough only for his daily needs and yet he never had a bike for a birthday present. They were not that rich, anyway. Included also is that he lives in the house ALONE. His grandparents from Yamanashi were the ones supporting his education and his daily expenses. Both of his parents were dead since he was still a child.
Nine kilometers. And by now if he started running from 7:20, then he will be there by nine. He almost missed two class periods!
And it's not just the first time. For five times last year it was already happened to him. And the only reasons were either his English assignment which was his waterloo, or his favorite soccer game airing on television during late night especially if his favorite team is on the tube. For he, himself, too, is a soccer player of their school varsity soccer team.
His reason this time: the soccer game again. And it was his team who was there. He would surely never miss a game like that on T.V. that's why he overslept.
He prefered to run since it's faster. He even took a shortcut to make it easier. For that, he easily reached Hana Junior High School in almost an hour!
But still he's late.
