Ayame awoke in the medical wing with a throbbing head ache. She didn't know where she was. All she could see is the roof, and it was rather blurred. She tried to sit but was hit with a wave of pain and fell back onto the bed and closed her eyes. She groaned loudly, getting the nurses. The nurse come out of her little officecarrying two pain killers and some water.
"Hey you go hun," She said. "Take these and when you feel up to it, you can go and spend the rest of the day in your dorm. Dont go to your remaining classes, just go rest."
Ayame nodded and the nurse left leaving Ayame alone in the room. Ayame put the pills in her mouth and swollowed them with the water. It took about twenty minutes but slowly her head ache died away. She got up out of the bed and slowly and left the ward. She made her way down the empty hallway towards the domitories. She was almost there when she collided with a running Kagome. The two girls fell to the ground with an 'oomph'.
"Ayame!" Kagome exclaimed, looking rather surpised. "I was just going to see if you were up yet!"
Ayame looked down at her watch, it was only 11 o'clock. "During second period?" Ayame asked, raising an eyebrow.
Kagome looked around and laughed nervously. "I told the teacher I need ed to go the the washroom."
Ayame smirked at her friend. Kagome got up off the floor and helped Ayame up. "You should prolly get back now. before you teacher get suspicious."
"Your right. Come on, we're in the computer room today." Kagome said motioning her friend after her.
Ayame shook her head. "The nurse told me not to bother going to classes today," Ayame said grinning from ear to ear. "Just go back to the dorm and rest."
"Lucky." Kagome pouted. Ayame grinned wider. "Well I'm going back to class now. Me and Sango will come see you during lunch, k?" Ayame nodded and Kagome took off back to her english class.
Ayame finally made it back to the dormitory a few minutes later. She went straight into the girls room to sleep, those pain killers had made her drowsy.
=======#######=======
Kagome sat back down at her desk and imediatly turned to face Sango behind her. "Ayame is out of the medical ward," She said not bothering to keep her voice down. the whole class was talking sinse the teacher had already assigned them work to do and was now sleep on his desk.
"How do you know? I thought you were going to the washroom," Sango said looking at her friend suspiciously.
"I bumped into her in the hallway. She was heading back to the dorm. The nurse told her to take the day off and rest."
"Oh please, was she really hurt that bad?" Inuyashas voice came from beside them.
The girls turned and glared at him. "Knowing that you have a wicked throw, I'm surprised you didn't break her nose!" Sango said.
"Or worse!" Kagome added.
"Come one! it was only a football!" Inuyasha said.
"Footballs are pointed though..." Miroku piped in from behind Inuyasha.
Inuyasha turned to glare at his friend. "Hey whose side are you on?" he yelled.
"Uh..." Miroku looked around nervously. "niether...?" Now everyone glared at him. He shrank in his seat.
"Hey back off Miroku, it's not his fault you injured Ayame." Kouga said from infront of Inuyasha.
"Oh right, like you tried to prevent the ball from hitting her." Inuyasha said sarcastically.
"Hey, I told her to watch out, in case you forgot!" Kouga said proudly.
"Yeah, but that only made her stop and turn to see what you were talking about," Inuyasha said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Hey that's her fault, I didn't say, 'Hey! stop and look at the speeding football headed right for you!'" Kouga said in his defense.
"Hey don't blame Ayame for this! Inuyasha was the one who threw it and you did basically nothing to stop it! It's not her fault she didn't see you!" Kagome yelled. Her and Sango then bagan to ignore the three boys. "So I told Ayame we'd go see her during luch."
"Ok," Sango said, blocking out the miffed looks the boys were giving them. "Maybe we should bring her some lunch from the caf. Just incase she's hungry or gets hungry."
"Good idea!" Kagome said. "A tuna sandwich, they're her favourite." Sango nodded and she and Kagome turned and did they're work until the bell rang.
=======#######=======
Kagome and Sango entered the dorm at around 12:30, halfway through the lunch hour. Ayame wasn't in the games room so they headed into the girls room. Sure enough, Ayame was lying on her bed, eyes wide open staring at the ceiling. The two of them walked over and sat on the bed to the right from Ayame.
"Hey..." Sango said with a smile. "How are you?"
"Fine, I just woke up. The pain killers the nurse gave me knoked me out." Ayame said looking at her friends.
"Well, at least you don't have to site through geography or history!" Kagome pointed out, sounding a little unenthusiastic about it.
Ayame smiled. "At least you have some company," she said trying to make having to go to class sound better than it really was.
Both Sango and Kagome snorted. "Well we prolly should get going. Here, we brought you a tuna sandwich incase you get hungry," Sango said placing the sandwich on Ayames bedside table.
"Thanks, I'll eat it later," She said sitting up.
"ok," Kagome said and she and Sango stood up. "See ya after class."
"Bye."
The two girls left, leaving Ayame alone agian. She laid back down on her bed, staring at the ceiling yet again, thinking about what she could do. After all, she wasn't tired anymore, she wasn't in pain, she had no one to talk to and she definatly wasn't going to go to class when she didn't have to. After a few minutes of silence, Ayame heard the bell ring, signaling the students to go to class. 10 minutes later another one sounded, commencing all classes. Suddenly she had an idea. She got up and looked under her bed. I took her a minute but she managed to find her blue music binder.
Ayame had a love for music she couldn't really explain, but no one knew about it except her close friends. She had taken piano lessons when she was really little, before she even when to school. She was very good at it now. She could play anything you put in front of her, whether she'd seen it before or not. She also loved to sing, but she would never do it infront of a person. If she knew she was alone she'd belt out tunes, but infront of everyone else she wouldn't even hold a note for more than one second. Only Kagome and Sango had ever heard her sing, but only because they had been spying on her when she was younger.
Ayame went out into the games room and looked around to make sure she was totally alone. she walked over to the piano in the corner and sat down infront of it. She opened her binder and then turned to a song she had writen a few nights ago when she was really bored and couldn't sleep. She looked around for a pencil in case she needed to edit it, but she didn't bring one with her. So, she got up and went back into the girls dorm to get a pencil to finish the song.
=======#######=======
Everyone settled into their seats in the geography class room. Suddenly, Kouga raised his hand. "Yes Kouga?" Mr. Timmins asked.
"I forgot my textbook, can I go get it?" Kouga asked.
"Yes... hurry back." The teacher said.
Kouga got out of his seat and walked out of the class room. He ran back to the dorm. He entered the dormitories and walked throught the deserted games room and into the boys room to grab his book. he was about to leave the room when all of a sudden he heard someone playing on the piano. He quickly glanced out the door to see the BAck of Ayames head sitting infront of the piano, playing the frist few chords to a song. It wasn't long before she began to sing as well.
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
[Unless I try to start again]
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That i'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That i'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause i'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight
Kouga stood there for a moment after she finished. He was stunned. Frist of all, he didn't know Ayame was so good at the piano. He knew she had taken lessons when she was younger, but he had no idea that she had continued. Secondly, she had a beautiful voice! He hadn't wanted her to stop. Lastly, it was a little scary that she had thoughts like that song suggested. He hope she wasn't serious. Suddenly Kouga snapped out of his little trance and began to clap.
Ayame gasped and spun around to face the direction of the clapping. She saw Kouga staning in the doorway to the boys room. She went redder than a cherry out of embarassment and anger. She turned back to her book and snapped it closed and stood up. "Why were you watching?" She yelled.
Kouga was taken back by her sudden outburst of anger. He was clapping for her cuz he had like her song, was that such a crime? "I didn't want you to stop, that song was amazing! did you write it."
"Yeah I wrote it," Ayame said, growing more red my the minute. "But you shouldn't have been listening!"
"Why?" Kouga asked, he was completely confused.
"Because... Because! If I wanted an audience, I'd be playing when everyone was here!" She screamed.
"You should play when everyone is around, your really good!" Kouga said, stil confused.
"Don't patronize me Kouga! I'm not stupid you know!" She said bitterly.
"I'm not! I really think that your talented!"
"Will you knock it off! What are you tone deaf! I sound horrible! and I messed up the chords so many times!"
"What's going on here?" Sango asked walking into the games room from the school. She looked back and forth between the confused looking Kouga and the extremely red Ayame who was clutching a blue binder tightly. She raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing," Ayame said storming into the girls room slamming the door behind her.
"Uh... Mr.Timmins sent me to see what was, er, taking so long." Sango said looking at Kouga uncertainly.
"I... its just... oh nevr mind," He said heading out of the games room, back to class. Sango followed him hesitantly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
whew, i'm tired. its like 1:30 am and im beat. i really hope you all like this chappie. its long, that makes me happy. i hope it does all you cuz it could be a few days before i post any others. ok. R&R puh-lease!?! toodles!
Note: I do not own that song, its Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park. I swear i in no way own any part of it!
