DISCLAIMERS: I DON'T OWN YUYU HAKUSHO!
Chapter 3: A New Botan
Ring...ring...ring.
" Urg... stupid alarm clock! " I groaned and rolled over to shut off my alarm clock, burying my head in my pillow as deep as I could to try to block out the rude waking, way more rude than my alarm clock. I sighed, and let the count down begin 3...2...1...
" BOTAN! WAKE UP! " Just as suspected, the roar of my older brother echoed through out the whole house.
" I'm up! " I lifted my head and yelled back, its the same old routine every morning, Hisuke, my elder brother would call me up because he knows that I would never actually wake up on my own. It doesn't help that now I'm going to start going to the same high school that he goes to.
I groan as I turn to face the wall, trying to catch some more shuteye before he found out that I'm not out of bed yet. But just then I heard someone running up the stairs, and running toward my door. Then that certain someone rudely bust open my door.
" I thought I told you to get up. " He said sternly and calmly as he stood before my bedside, his hands were probably crossed over his chest as it always was. I could also feel his crimson eyes glaring at my backside.
I sat up and threw my white pillow at him and pouted, "Didn't you ever hear of knocking? "
The pillow hit him smack in the face and fell to the floor. "Whatever and stop your complaining. You have exactly 5 minutes to get ready for school and go down stairs for breakfast. " Once he said that he bent down to pick up my pillow and threw it back at me.
" Arug, you have no right to throw my own pillow at me! Plus your not the boss of me Hisuke, you can't order me around you big meanie! " I said as I got off the bed and threw him a icy glare, than I my tongue out at a fully dressed Hisuke on my way out toward the bathroom door. Once I got into the bathroom and locked the door, I leaned my back against it and looked at my reflection.
Running my fingers through long azure color hair, it was only slightly darker than my old shade, I mused to myself. A pale complexion that my fellow peers always comments about being jealous over. A slender body, a sweet smile, but what was said to be my most striking of my outer appearance, as people would say was my eyes. They weren't my old amethyst hue anymore; no they're a beautiful rose pink shade now.
In junior high I was known to be the sweet, cheerful, and perky Botan that always would always have a sweet smile on her face. But unaware to them, that was the face was all just a facade. That under that smiling mask was a crying, heart broken fool. " Had it actually only been only 15 years since he died? " I question myself softly.
Recollecting memories of the past, a sincere smile finally graced my face as I saw the image of the man that once and still haunts my dreamless nights. My only reminder of him was a few drawings and my memories. Surprisingly after all this time I still find myself hopelessly in love with him. Nothing changed, and nothing will change. I will wait for him till the end of time if I have to...he's the only one I ever truly loved. He's also the only boy in my long lifetime that actually treated me with any amount of respect. I'll never forget get him; no one will ever replace him if I have any say in my emotions.
I sighed again and got into my morning routine. I took a quick shower and wrapped a white towel around my body. Then I brushed my teeth, and grabbed a brush and combed all the tangles out of the mass of hair. Looking around for my new school uniform and private items, but only conclude that they weren't in the bathroom. Amazingly I'm still as clumsy and forgetful as before.
Unlocking the door and running out of the bathroom into my room, I quickly closed the door. On my chair was a neatly folded Meiou High school uniform. There was a black skirt that was just a few inches above my knees, with a cotton white blouse, a scarlet tie and a black jacket. The school changes the uniform from pale red to black, because boys were refusing to wear that color, saying that it made them look sissy.
I quickly wore the clothes in record speed and grabbed a red ribbon from my drawers of ribbons and ran into the bathroom to put my hair into a high ponytail. I smiled at my reflection, how could I look so much like I did before but still feel like I'm living a complete lie? Why do I feel so phony?
" Botan! You have 1 minute before we leave for school! " Screamed my overly annoying and might I add equally protected older brother.
" Coming! " I scream back and ran back into my room and grabbed my school bag and ran down stairs.
" Honey you need to eat breakfast. " My mother, Asaya Misato, said as she hand me my lunch.
" No ti--" She didn't even let me answer, all she did was stuff a buttered toast in my mouth and smiled. Pulling out the toast I smiled back, than the clock struck. A loud ding was heard through out the house; shocked I looked up at the clock and quickly took my lunch and ran out the door. I could barely hear my mother's voice calling me back.
" Botan! You forgot to put on your shoes, honey! " Flushing I ran back and thanked her quickly while putting on the on my black shoes, and once again I was out the door.
Running was fast as my legs could carry I ran down the busy road; quickly made a sharp turn into the around the corner and bumped into someone. The impact causes me to hit the floor and send my school bag flying to the concrete road. Wincing slightly as my bottom hit the ground, I finally looked up to see two warm orbs of emerald looking down at me.
"I'm so sorry miss, are you okay?"
