Chapter 3- A New Friend

After about two days of the restaurant incident, Suma had kept every far from Yuki, Shigure and Kyo. Many times Kyo wanted to come out behind her and scare the crap out of her, but didn't. Though it was two days ago, he still laughed about it.

Suma peered around every tree closely. She couldn't get the images out of her head. She still shivered at the thought. Hiding behind the tree, she could see Kyo lying on the grass sleeping. She was deeply hungry and had to get to the house, but the only way there, was right by Kyo.

He's asleep, which means he won't know your there!

She sighed deeply as she took her first step towards him. She could hear him snoring.

Your almost pass him. Just keep going, nice and easy...

She looked ahead to see much more she had to walk, (which was only a few feet)

when she felt a hand grasping her ankle. She screamed and looked down to see Kyo looking up.

"Get OFF!" She shouted, kicking her with him with her free leg. Though he was a master at marshal arts, he didn't expect her to kick him, so there for, he wasn't prepared.

Kyo was kicked in the face and sent tumbling through the grass. The last he saw, was Suma running to the house at full speed. He glared and rubbed his aching cheek. He laid back where he sat, and looked at the sky.

"What a pre..." He stopped for he felt burning in his underwear.

He looked at his feet and saw he was kicked right on a fire ant hill. He screamed in pain as he jumped up and unzipped his pants, and threw them. He looked at his bare legs and saw ants running all over them. He looked in his underwear and what seemed like even more down there. He screamed and threw them off too. He ran through the field nude, (well expect his shirt) screaming

"Get 'em off me! Ow! Get 'em off me!"

He reached the house and opened the sliding door, just as Suma was opening it to apologize to Kyo for kicking him.

She had her hand on the knob when Kyo burst in, half nude. Suma didn't hesitate to scream bloody murder. She garbed the broom Yuki had been using, and began hitting Kyo over the head. Bam! In the side. BAM! In the arm.

"Ow stop woman!" Shouted Kyo.

"Get out, get out, GET OUT!"

"Their biting me! Oww damn it!" Kyo cried, now on the ground, still being beaten.

Tohru wanted to step in and held Kyo, but it would had felt wrong.

Yuki had his fun of laughing at Kyo and Suma, and took the broom away from Suma, still letting out sinkers.

"All right, I'll take it from here."

Kyo looked up at Yuki. "You stay away from me!"

"Why?"

"It hurts so bad." Kyo complained in a girlie wincing voice.

"Fire ants?"

"Yeah..." (another wincing voice)

"Hm..Only one thing to do." Yuki said walking into the kitchen.

Kyo barley lifted his head up to see Yuki leaving.

"WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO CUT IT OFF!" Yuki screamed with a butcher knife.

"OH MY GOD, YOUR CRAZY!" Kyo shouted, jumping up to his feet, and running into the fields, with Yuki close behind him.

Shigure laughed like there was no tomorrow.

"Oh man, you really did him in good this time, Suma." He said in-between chokes of laughter.

Suma in the bathroom, covering her eyes. This time, instead of smoke, it was in full view.

"Suma-chan?" Tohru called through the door. "You all right?"

Suma opened to the door happily as if nothing was bothering her.

"Um, sure! Never better!"

Kyo ran through the hall were they were. "Help ME!" He cried as he ran past.

Yuki was close behind, swinging away.

-that night at the hospital-

Suma waited in the waiting room with Tohru. Yuki didn't cut anything, Kyo was in such pain, they figured it would be best.

-flashback-

Kyo- Hell no! I'm not going to the damn hospital!

Shigure-(holding his arms, and dragging him along the house) It's not normal for someone to get bitten by fire ants down there! It could be dangerous!

Kyo-I DON'T CARE!

-end of flashback-

Suma sighed and couldn't help but feel a strong guilt over riding her. A nurse came in and told them that they were done examining, and that Tohru and Suma could see him. Suma stood up, but couldn't bring herself to walk down the hall and see him.

"Tohru-chan, could you tell him I'm sorry? I can't go down there. He'll probably just yell at me, and I don't want to yelled at again."

"Of course I'll tell him. I'll be back soon." Tohru said in an understanding way. Though she really didn't understand.

Suma watched her go down the hall way, and turn to Kyo's room. (Which was the third door down) She sat back down, and remembered her vision. She was surprised that she had forgotten about it even for a second. She was actually kinda grateful that she had forgotten. It gave her mind a chance to clear.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?" A girl behind Suma asked.

Suma looked up to see girl with light blue pigtails, and a long black trench coat over a purple shirt, and long baggy blue jeans. She had white like eyes. This girl seemed to be staring at the ceiling.

"Um, of course." Suma said, moving her bag.

The girl smiled, still looking at the sky, and sat down. "Thank you. Bad weather we're having, huh?"

Suma looked out the window just as she saw lighting light up the sky.

"That's weird, it was such a perfect day."

"Ah, you were just relying on what your eyes told you."

"I don't mean to be rude, but are you..."

"Blind? Heh, yes." The girl said, with a smile laugh.

"Oh, I'm sorry I hope that wasn't rude."

"Oh no, it's all right. It doesn't bother me."

Suma's heart was beating quickly from embarrassment. "Um, so what's your name?"

"Ami."

"That's a pretty name actually. Where do you live?" Suma couldn't stop asking all these questions. She had never met or seen anyone who was blind, so this was a sort of adventure for her.

"Um, all I know is that's grassy, and a bunch of people go there. It's not that far from here."

Suma looked out the window and saw Tokyo Central Park in big letters. She also saw it was just down the street.

"You live in the freak'n park!"

"I suppose." Ami said calmly.

Just then, Kyo wheeled out of his room with a wheel. He was heading straight for Suma.

"SUMA!" He shouted, not slowing down.

Suma watched him roll right pass him, and run into the wall. It was clear that he didn't' know how to use a wheel chair. Suma giggled, and watched him straighten up and wheel slowly to her.

"You have..."

"I'm sorry." Suma said bowing low. "I didn't know you would land in that ant hill. I am truly sorry."

Kyo was expecting for her not to apologize and so was it was as a shock for him.

"Um...who is that?" he asked, nodding over to Ami. (for he didn't know what to say)

"Oh, this is Ami-chan. She doesn't have any where to go, can she stay with us, PLEASE!" Suma begged, on her knees.

"Wait hold on, I don't want to stay with you." Ami said still looking at the ceiling, but over their way.

Suma got close to Kyo's ear, "She's blind and she lives in the park."

" I can hear you. I should go, the rains letting up." Ami said, getting up.

"Please stay, Ami-chan. I would feel so guilty if you left with no where to go." Suma begged now to Ami.

"Look, it's really nice of you, but I have somewhere to go, and that's to my 'park', as you called it."

Shigure, Yuki and Tohru came out of the room, and came up to Suma, Kyo and Ami.

"Oh, Shigure! Can Ami-chan stay!"

"I told you I didn't want to!" Ami shouted in annoyance.

Yuki came up behind Ami and chopped her neck. (a karate chop on the neck; you know) Ami fell into Tohru's arms.

"I too would feel guiltily to let her back out there." Yuki said simply. Though it was against her wishes, everybody agreed.

When they got home, Suma pulled out an extra sleeping bag and put Ami in it.

"You'll thank us later." She said, leaving the room. She went into the kitchen and saw Kyo standing at the table.

"Aren't you sitting down?"

"No, it hurts to much."

"I'm sorry."

"Stop being sorry!"

"Sir, yes sir!"

Suma shouted, holding a peace sign instead of saluting. A smile grew across her face.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You. It's funny how this morning, I was afraid of you coming close to me, and since this happened, I feel like I should be your servant of something."

"Maybe you should. Go put on a mini skirt an..." but before Kyo could finish his sentence, Shigure was around his leg crying happy tears.

"Oh thank you! Thank You! Your good person!"

Kyo's eye twitched as he kicked Shigure off with an "ow" form his own pain.

"Look, forget the mini skirt." Suma said, crossing her arms.

"I don't' want you to do anything for me!"

"As you wish." Suma said, bowing.

Kyo groaned and hobbled out of the room.

Me- Ok, I know someone probably has a character named "Ami" but I would just like to say, I did not steal that name. I know it means "Friend" in Japanese, and so that's where I got form. Comments make me very happy like. \( \ \( )/ )/ Yay!
