Ch.2- Back Again
Beep! Beep! Beep! Ash groaned, "No, no it's not time yet, I barley went to sleep!" he muttered to himself. Beep! Beep! Beep! "Godforsaken clock!" he shouted jumping up from his bed and whacking it repetitively with his pillow in the hopes of silencing it. Beep! Beep! Beep! "Damnation!" he shouted now fully awake, "Does this thing show no mercy!"
"Ash, it's an alarm clock, which is an inanimate object, it has no sense of justice or feelings whatsoever." said a very tired looking Misty, who was passing by his room on her way to take a shower.
"Damn alarm clock," cursed Ash, then he realized something, and added, "wait, since when did I have an alarm clock!"
"Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you, I took the liberty of buying both you and Misty alarm clocks for school." said his mother as she passed by his room on her way to put more towels in the closet. As she turned to go down stairs, she saw her son trying in vain to destroy the still beeping clock.
"Don't bother trying to destroy this one Ash, it's indestructible, oh and also, you see this remote," continued Delia Ketchum, swinging a small, black key chain on her finger, she waited until he nodded, "this is the only thing in the house that can silence the alarm." Ash fell over anime style and as he was getting up saw his mom press the little red button on the remote, successfully silencing the clock. "You have ten minutes to shower and dress, and then I want you downstairs for breakfast, oh I almost forgot something," Please tell me she didn't get any other high tech gadgets! "Good Morning!"
Finally done with all his business upstairs, Ash ambled downstairs and into the kitchen, where a wide awake Brock was serving bacon and eggs to a still groggy looking Misty.
"Good morning Ash!" said Brock a little to enthusiastically, as he distributed the food to both individuals.
" 'Good Morning Ash' he says," mimicked Ash, "what the bloody hell is so good about it!" asked Ash heatedly.
"Gee, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." muttered Misty sleepily.
As they were eating Mrs. Ketchum walked into the kitchen, "So are you two going to walk, or are you going to want me to drive you ?" she asked, hoping for the latter.
"I think we're gonna walk mom." answered Ash almost immediately. His mother nodded and joined the trio for breakfast.
Five minutes later Ash and Misty were walking the short walk to Palett High along the slightly muddy ground. As they continued on they met up with four of their friends.
The first was a girl, and one of Misty's best friends, Hermione Granger. She was shorter than Ash, who by now was pushing six feet, which would make her about 5'5. She had straight long brown hair, brown eyes, and was also blossoming into a beautiful young woman.
The second was Ron Weasley. He was 6'2 and had flaming red hair and brown eyes.
The third person happened to be Ron's younger sibling, Ginny Weasley. She too had flaming red hair and brown eyes. She however, was the shortest of the group being 5'4.
The last person in the group was none other than Harry Potter. He was the same height as Ash and had messy black hair as well. He had emerald green eyes, that had entranced many people over the years, thankfully for Harry, they had gotten him more girls than boys.
However, the thing that stood out like a sore thumb, was the lightning shaped scar on his forehead that he had received in the car crash that had taken his mothers life.
"Hey guys," said Hermione enthusiastically, coming over to hug Ash and Misty in turn, "how was your summer?"
"Well it was pretty good," responded Ash, " how was yours?"
Hermione laughed and looked over at Ron, "Well we discovered that Ron was gay." At this Ron butted in, looking at her angrily.
"Bloody hell Hermione, I am not gay, just because I like to watch Queer Eye doesn't mean I'm gay, I just want to be sure I don't look stupid when I go to school or go out anywhere." Responded Ron heatedly, "I mean, sure being your boyfriend does have its benefits, but you don't really have a fashion sense for the male sex." Harry and Ginny each howled with laughter at this statement, but Ash and Misty were stunned.
"Ron, you and Hermione are together? Since when?" asked a shocked Ash.
"Well Hermione and I technically got together at the end of Junior year, however we kept it quiet until June." Ron said automatically.
It just struck Ash and Misty as a little weird, Ron and Hermione never really struck the two of them as an item. Maybe Harry and Hermione, but not this. Not that they rejected the idea.
"So Hermione," questioned Misty slyly, "what brought on this change of taste?" Hermione looked over at Misty questioningly.
"What do you mean change of taste? I've always fancied Ron, he's just so adorable." Misty eyed Hermione suspiciously as if doubting this last bit of information.
"Oh damn!" shouted Ginny suddenly, "we're going to be late if we don't hurry, its already 7:00!"
At this, all conversation was abandoned and all six teens sped off in the direction of the still distant high school.
Thus began the first day of school.
Yusuke Urameshi sat on the rails of the staircase of the school of which he had come to loath. The only reason he still came was because of the girls. The girls gave him a reason to live. Especially the especially the Senior girls.
"Damn these girls are so friggin' hot!" Yusuke whispered to his counterparts, excitedly. The said counterparts just sighed.
"Honestly Yusuke, I would think by now that with all the combined slaps you've received from the opposite sex you would have learned that they don't like you staring at them." said the ever vigilant and wise, Kurama.
"Besides Urameshi, they haven't changed a bit," added Hiei disgustedly, "there still the same baka's from last year."
"Hiei you're just saying that because you're gay." Yusuke said in defense of the girls of Pallet High.
Hiei glared at Yusuke before turning back to what he was looking at.
Upon closer investigation and continued ogling, Yusuke finally acknowledge the fact that Hiei was staring at a who, not a what. To top that off, he was staring at none other than Keiko!
"So Hiei, have you taken a liking to Keiko or what?" He asked slyly. Hiei turned his head sharply at Yusuke's comment.
"For your information Urameshi, I was not staring at Keiko. I was staring at the football field and thinking about how long I have to wait to hit you and slam you into the ground."
At that, Hiei got up and walked inside the school.
"You know what Kurama," Yusuke said to his red haired companion, "some people are so touchy!"
As they walked through the doors that led to their one year imprisonment, Kurama couldn't help but laugh.
As Ashitaka walked through the halls of the high school he'd come to know and love, he was met by three of his friends.
The first one was Zell Dincht. He had spiky blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and plastered on his face, a huge grin. That wasn't the only thing on Zell's face. Accompanying the grin on the left side of his face was a black tattoo that separated into three different lightning bolt like lines. One going up slightly past his eyebrows, the second going under his left eye, and the final one tapering off at the bottom of his chin.
Zell was adorned in a skin tight short sleeve shirt, red and black short sleeve jacket. The black sleeves were decorated with a blue starburst like design. He also wore blue cargo shorts that went just beyond his knees, held up, thankfully, by a black belt. The shoes he wore were red and black as well, however the red dominated this article of clothing. With his shoes he had on black socks.
The next was a girl, her name, Quistis Trepe. With long blonde hair and bright blue eyes it was easy to mistake her as Zell's elder sister. Quistis was wearing a pink t-shirt that was tucked into her clinging blue jeans. She wore a black belt so as to stay in dress code, not that it was required. She wore solid black tennis shoes.
The final person accompanying the aforesaid pair was another girl, Rinoa Heartilly. She was shorter than both Zell and Quistis, but not by much. She had long black hair with hints of light brown highlights in it. She had captivating brown eyes and a rosy complexion. Rinoa wore a light blue t-shirt that was left untucked with a pair of baggy khaki cargo pants. She too had on black tennis shoes, however hers were accompanied with streaks of blue. Unlike Quistis, she was related to Zell. Rinoa was Zell's stepsister.
Rinoa's mother had been killed in a car accident involving a drunk driver, and Zell's father had been killed in the war. Then one day at the grocery store, while sitting in the shopping cart, Rinoa had seen Zell and his mother and started shouting.
As if on cue, Zell followed suit, and the two single parents were in complete dirsarray until they noticed the other trying to calm their child down. From there, the parents proceeded to going out on dates, while leaving their children with the same sitter, whom they both knew.
This forged an unbreakable bond between the two children that only got stronger as the days and months progressed, and it finally was made unbreakable when their parents finally got hitched. It was funny, ever since their original spouses had died, they had been distant from their children, but ever since the incident in the grocery store, and still to this day, their parents seemed to bring out the best in eachother.
"Hey guys," greeted Ashitaka warmly, "long time no see!"
"S'up Ashitaka!" shouted Zell as he clapped hands with his best friend.
"Hi Ashitaka!" said Rinoa and Quistis in unison, each hugging him in turn.
"Hello ladies, had a good summer?" he asked, as they turned to walked to their home room.
"You could say that." said Rinoa.
"This summer was really eventful for Rin." said Quistis, slyly.
"Really, what happened?" asked Ashitaka curiously.
"Nothing!" she said blushing, and hitting Quistis on the arm.
"That's not what you told me!" mocked Quistis teasingly.
"Shut up," she said threateningly, then in a whisper said, "I don't want to tell Zell yet." Zell was already seated in class when they got there, blissfully unaware of the conversation that had taken place outside.
Soujiro Seta walked into the school in silence. Normally he wasn't silent at all, but he had just recently lost his father Makoto Shishio, and it was a big loss. His mother, Yumi Seta, was all he had left. Not that he minded though, she was a caring, compassionate, and understanding mother.
The only thing that Soujiro didn't like about her was that she was a part-time teacher at a rival high school. As soon as he walked into his home room, the sight of his classmates seemed to soothe all the pain and doubt he had been feeling.
"Soujiro, it's about bloody time you showed up!" shouted his long time friend Yusuke Urameshi, "I thought you were gonna take a leaf out of my book and skip the first day."
This caused Soujiro's other friend, Ash Ketchum, to speak up, "That reminds me, Yusuke, why are you even here? Isn't it tradition for you to skip the first day of school?"
Yusuke smirked, "Well I decided that since this is our last year here at P.H. I figured I'd honor it by not skipping."
This time another of Soujiro's friends, Selphie Timlitt, spoke, "Nobody would do it with you would they?"
"Alright, Dincht wouldn't pick up the phone and I don't know where the heck Doo-San was!"
At this Zell walked in, "Somebody call?" Yusuke immediately rounded on him,
"You better believe it, man I called you ten times yesterday, and you didn't answer once!"
Zell cringed, "Oh yeah, well..umm, you see, I was..uhh, busy, with uhh..something!" he managed to throw out.
"With something, or someone, Zell?" teased Rinoa who had just walked in. Zell blushed, and unbeknownst to the rest of the eager onlookers, so did Selphie.
"Zip it Rin." threatened Zell, glaring at her.
"Why should I?" she smirked.
"Because," he whispered so only she could hear, "I'll tell the guys about your little, shall we say, uhh..romps with Leonhart." Rinoa's eyes widened in horrified shock as she tried to form words,
"You, how do..your not mad?"
Zell smiled at his stepsister fondly, "Nah, Squall's a good guy, but if he hurts you, I swear I'll kill him." Rinoa smiled and would have hugged Zell, had it not been for the comment from Hiei,
"What in the devil are you two whispering about?"
Then from Sanoske Sagara, "Really, you two sound like a married couple."
"That's disgusting!" shouted Misao Makimachi, "They're related Sano!"
"Oh yeah, whoops?" he said as he sweat dropped. Just then the teacher walked in and everybody shut up.
Just then the teacher walked in and everyone went silent.
