Chapter 13 School Daze

Authors NotesThanks to Mad-Manga and Brookie! If it weren't for you both I wouldn't still be writing this story!

Mai awoke early the next morning with sunshine upon her face and Shippo on her mind. She threw on her school uniform, wincing at it. She still didn't like it. Mai walked into the kitchen, a huge smile on her face.
