Chapter 11 The Truth
The truth…What is the truth?
Does honesty actually pay?
(Back in Azumano)
"Girls! Will you please watch your language?" a teacher bursted through a door.
"Where in the world are we?" Ashui asked angrily.
The teacher just blinked.
"You don't know where you are?" she asked, closing the door behind her.
Tsuben and Ashui shook their heads.
"Well, this is Azumano Middle School. What place are you girls looking for anyways?"
(You cannot imagine what their faces looked like but I'll give you a hint: O.O)
"We were in a museum…now we're… in a school?" Ashui shouted.
Classroom
Aya was doodling on a piece of paper. She drew a heart with wings and a snake chewing on one wing. Her drawing was terrible but she didn't care. Aya was writing her name in different styles when she heard a shout, "WHERE THE FUCK AM I!" her pencil point snapped.
Daisuke tapped her shoulder, urgently. Aya glanced at him. He pointed at the door. Aya frowned. What is it? She mouthed.
Daisuke pointed again and Aya turned her head to see the teacher slamming the door open. She looked past the teacher to see two girls, looking very harassed.
Aya whispered, "Do you think those girls are like Trishi and Koro?"
Daisuke nodded.
BRIIING!
Thank God! The bell's right on time!
Let's go, Daisuke signaled.
Aya sighed and slipped out of her seat…
Satoshi watched as Aya walked after Daisuke.
You love her don't you? Krad asked chuckling.
Yes, but not in the way you think, Satoshi answered.
What do you mean by that? I see and hear every thought you have, Krad said confusedly.
"Not everything," Satoshi mumbled.
What?...
Aya trotted behind Daisuke. They stopped when they reached the two girls and the teacher who was lecturing the girls on proper language.
"Excuse me Ms. Cardenas. I hope I am not interrupting anything? I am sure that me and Aya could help," Daisuke offered, smiling his usual smile.
Ms. Cardenas looked relieved. "That is very kind of you. Do you know these people?"
The two girls that came out of the blue sat down on the floor, and then jumped up quickly. Their butts were still sore from the painful landing. Aya watched them from the corner of her eye. Hey looked very uncomfortable. The shorter girl with black hair and red highlights saw Aya looking at her.
"What?" she asked with a slight air of annoyance.
Aya shook her head. Of course, it is rude to stare at people.
Ms. Cardenas returned to the classroom a few moments later, trying to dodge a crowd that came through the door.
"We don't need a tour guide, Tsuben. We need to get out of here," the girl with red highlights sighed.
The girl named Tsuben shrugged.
Daisuke blinked several times. Something had gotten into his eye. He rubbed his eye, trying to dislodge it.
Aargh, it hurts, he thought.
What happened? Dark asked sleepily.
Daisuke shook his head mentally. Never mind.
"Watsup Dai? Somethin' in your eye?" Aya asked worriedly.
Daisuke shook his head quickly. "It's alright, it's just…," he started to say but Aya silenced him by cupping his face and searching for the object that was irritating Daisuke's eye.
Daisuke blushed at the closeness between them. He noticed how beautiful her golden eye were at this distance.
Wait, golden? I thought they were blue! Daisuke jumped backwords.
Aya frowned. "Did I hurt you?" She asked. (O.O?)
Tsuben and the other girl watched them, bored, knowing that it would take some time for the conversation to finish. Aya turned her head, noticing the two.
"Sorry girls. Got a little distracted," she apologized.
"It's fine. We'll just stand her all day and…ow!" Ashui winced as Tsuben stomped on her foot.
"That hurts!" the other girl snapped.
"Oh c'mon Ashui, don't get mad!" Tsuben placed her arm on Ashui's shoulder, leaning casually.
Aya and Daisuke, who had forgotten what he had seen, sweatdropped.
More weird people.
(Koro: Whaddaya mean more weird people? (Trishi tries to hold Koro back while Koro wrestles with Trishi, trying to attack Dai and Aya) Koro: DAMMIT! LET GO OF ME!)
Tsuben and Ashui sighed.
"Can we go home now?" Tsuben asked.
"Yeah, I need to feed my cat," Ashui added.
"Sorry. No can do. We do not know how to get you people back in your own dimension so,…yeah," Aya plopped down on the tiled floor, her back against the wall.
People were still walking past them, or rather pushing them.
"Watch it!" one snobby girl shrieked, barging between them with her colleagues. She flipped her golden hair haughtily.
"Come on girls, ignore these losers," she said loftily.
Aya pretended to hurl. Losers? As if!
Tsuben and Ashui seemed immobile. Daisuke tapped their shoulders.
"Hello? You…," Daisuke spoke but he went, flying backwards and hit some people that were passing by.
"WHAT? WE CAN'T GO BACK?" Tsuben and Ashui yelled.
"Hey, hey, I didn't say that we can't…," Daisuke tried again, but…the two girls did not seem to be in the mood to listen.
"I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!" Tsuben shouted.
Several people, okay scratch that, a lot of people stopped to stare.
(Tsuben and Ashui: I'm not that loud! WhiteWolf92: In this, you are!)
Aya flipped open her cell phone and dialed Daisuke's home phone number.
"What are you doing?" Daisuke yelled, plugging his ears. Tsuben and Ashui continued to yell "I DON'T WANT TO DIE!".
"I'm calling Koro!" Aya yelled.
"WHAT?" Daisuke yelled.
"UNPLUG YOUR EARS IDIOT!" Aya bellowed. The phone in her hand clicked.
"Hello? This is the Niwa residence. Whom may I ask is speaki…," Emiko's voice stated.
"GET KORO HERE NOW!" Aya yelled into the receiver.
"I'm sorry, what?" Emiko asked.
"JUST GET HER HERE, DAMMIT!" Aya shouted.
"Yes, right away." The phone clicked dead.
Aya snapped her phone shut and did what Daisuke did, plug her ears. It was surprising that the teachers weren't coming to the hall right now and having them arrested.
"MOVE OUT OF THE FUCKIN' WAY!" A loud voice shouted over the din.
"Thank you!" Aya said to a fuming Koro.
Koro pounced and grabbed the two yelling girls, dragging them out, cutting off their voices.
Ah, the blessed silence, Aya thought in relief.
Shnorre, Daisukeheard a little voice in the back of his mind. What? He's still sleeping?
Of course not idiot! Dark said angrily. I wouldn't snore like that. Anyways, can't you keep it down?
Although it was quiet, there was a singing sound in Aya's ear.
(A/N: Don't you just hate that?)
"What now?" Daisuke asked.
"Lunch," Aya answered smiling.
Aya caught up with Koro halfway out the door.
"Hey Koro, how'd you get here so fast?"
Koro gave Aya the how-could-I-not-know look.
"Anyone could hear that 50 miles away. You have gotta be deaf if you didn't hear it."
"Oh, ok. Thanks for coming," Aya said patting her back.
"Watch it! I got a bunch of crazy people here that are trying to kill me."
"Oh, sorry," Aya recoiled sharply.
2 minutes later
Aya was eating her lunch with Daisuke when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She spun around and saw Satoshi watching her amusedly.
"Can I have a fry?" he asked, smiling.
Aya shrugged, "Why not?"
"Thanks." He popped a fry in his mouth.
Several girls gaped at her and Satoshi. Few even whispered to each other. Aya thought, Dorks.
"May I speak to you for a moment?" Satoshi asked.
Aya nodded in answer.
5 minutes later
Aya and Satoshi went up onto the roof of the school.
(sorry, I don't know what these things are called. Decks? Balconies?)
"So, whatcha want to talk about?" Aya asked leaning on the railing.
"This has been bugging me for some time now. I can't hide it anymore." Satoshi said sighing.
Satoshi walked up to her and hugged her. Aya stood there, dumbfounded.
"It has been long. I have been searching for you for a long time. Your dad took up a different name so it was pretty hard looking for your name but at last I have found you."
"What are you talking about?" Aya asked. It was kind of weird being in the arms of someone, especially a guy.
"Of course you wouldn't know," Satoshi sighed. He held her at arms length.
"Now I can pass my curse to you," Satoshi teased.
"What, what? Tell me! What are you talking about?"
Satoshi grinned, "Hello, sister."
Aya nearly fell over the railing. Sister?
"But…how?"
"Your last name's Hikari. You're father changed it so you wouldn't suspect."
Aya looked at Satoshi.
"I don't look like you." She stated matter-of-factly.
"Now why is that?"
"Oh, well. This is great! Wait 'till I tell dad this!"
Satoshi's expression turned suddenly serious.
"No. You won't tell this to anyone. UNDERSTAND?"
"Not even Niwa?"
"No."
"Oh, alright I won't," Aya promised.
Satoshi and Aya returned downstairs together a few minutes later with Aya clinging onto Satoshi's arm.
"What's with this?" Satoshi asked grumpily. It was very difficult for him to walk.
"Trying to keep girls off you." Aya winked.
Satoshi laughed, "Good idea."
