My Head's Cursed
Chapter one : Nonetheless For Mayhem
'One year on and I already know everything.
My fathers a perv, grandfather a washed out moron. Canti : one strange, non-functional computer. Mamimi… gone and Haruko, a bitch.'
"Hey Canti, did you get what I wanted from the shops?!" Naota was lying down on his bed staring at the top bunk, which used to belong to his brother, then to Haruko.
The door opened and Canti appeared, holding a shopping bag. Naota sat up and took the bag off him. "Wow Canti, you actually got the right one this time!" Canti 'blushed' and then 'scratched' his TV shaped head. He then walked away to make dinner. Naota started to flick through the magazine he had asked for until, suddenly, something caught his eye. He stopped flicking the pages of it and went back to what he had noticed and suddenly jumped in shock.
"What the hell is this?!" Naota looked at it, a picture? A picture of him?! He was sure it was of him, and after a few moments of studying the picture really hard, he realised, it WAS him! Naota was talking to Canti in a sunny afternoon by the river. He moved his eyes down to the article that followed it. It read :
'A robot and it's suspected owner have been seen by the river in Mabase. It was taken at 13.46, Sunday, and is a mystery as to what that 'robot' is. This photo was taken by Samejima, Mamimi……..'
"Mamimi? How can that be possible, she's moved from here!" he scrunched his fist up and slammed it beside him, "is she still here?"
Naota crept down the stairs in his usual blue hoody and 'long' shorts. He walked through the dinning room and out the door, unnoticed by everyone. It was dark and slightly cold outside but Naota didn't seem to car. He started to run down the road, in between the houses and near the bridge.
"Wherever you are, Mamimi, I'm going to find you!!!"
'After one year since the problems with Medical Mechanica and the big robotic hands that destroyed most of Mabase, most people evacuated because people got crushed by debris and they don't trust the city. I don't blame them. Nobody has done anything to repair Mabase so it's just like Haruko left it. Somehow my house is in tact, only just though. Half of my school building got crushed and the roads aren't straight; they're cracked and unworthy of cars. People will just have to deal with it I guess. Also MM hasn't smoked out the city since that day either.'
One hour later and Naota had searched everywhere and he was standing by the river.
"I give up Mamimi." He turned away from the river and saw Takkun the cat, it's lover and a kitten together. He walked back to his house, still unnoticed just as his father called out….
"Nao, dinner!" With a look of boredom on his face, he walked into the dinning room.
"WHAT THE HECK?!!!!????!?" Naota shouted as he stared in shock at the thing in front of him. Right there, right in front of him was a mannequin of Haruko. It looked like a huge floppy doll with fabric painted eyes and features.
"Naota-kun, how can you shout at the perfect Haruko-chan like mannequin?" Hon-chan said, not really concerned and eating curry.
"Shut up and eat!" Shigekuni said, directed at Naota.
"I'm not eating with this thing here."
"Naota-kun, how can you hate a replica of the person you did Fooly Cooly with??"
Naota's eyes went up in flames. He curled his fists up in anger again, he closed his eyes and shouted,
"I DID NOT DO FOOLY COOLY WITH HER!!!!!!!!!!!"
Naota looked as angry as he had been when Mamimi had called for is brother, Tasku instead of him, maybe even angrier. The room went silent. Kamon carried on eating and his grandfather had never stopped. Naota walked over to the table, picked up his food and walked out.
"I don't blame Naota for this, he hasn't seen Haruko in such a long time." Kamon said. The walls were so thin, Naota could hear him through it as walked up the stairs. He sat down on his bed, slowly eating his genetically spiced, fermented soybeans.
'Nothing amazing ever happens here. I started to argue with my father a lot more now that Haruko left. I only rarely go to school now. It's as if I'm becoming a male version of Mamimi. Nobody mind my sudden appearance and disappearance because it's starting to become normal. Our school is becoming run down anyway and it's rumoured that it'll be closing down. Even though it's middle school.'
"I don't even know what Fooly Cooly is."
Naota had been asleep for 3 ½ hours. It was 3.20am…..
- Clouds…. Always clouds… Why are they there? It's the last thing I saw before……-
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Naota's eyes shot open, 'my head…. Feels like it's tearing apart!' He screamed in pain and felt the top of his head.
"W-What the heck???!!" He could feel a massive, semi-circular bump coming out of his head. Suddenly, the pain stopped. In relief, Naota layback down because he was still tired and now exhausted.
Naota woke up when the sunlight was shinning in his eyes.
"Ugh, I don't feel so good…." He swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up. He looked at himself in the mirror. "No, no no!" He store at the reflection of himself. The bump on his head was, by far, still there. It was not small, it was big. He looked at it in wonder. "Haruko's… VESPA??????!!" It must have been, no doubt.
"This must be either the back or front wheel guard" It was bright, yellow, big and bulging out of Naota's head. "It should come out soon shouldn't it? The others appeared then came out a few hours later. What time is it? 9.30? Well even if I did want to go to school, I would be very late." Naota took his bandage from his draw and wrapped it around the back of his head and when he wrapped it over the bump, it wouldn't go back in his head!!! He tried to push it, but it wouldn't budge.
"Oh I don't believe this! What am I meant to do? I can't move from here, I can't leave my room and let anyone see me! Hey, didn't grandfather say he was going to baseball practise? If that's so, it's just dad I have to get rid of if I want to come out." Naota started to listen out to see if he could hear anything. After a while, he heard Canti move downstairs.
"Canti!? Can you come up here??" After a while Canti came up to his room and just stood there, looking at him for a moment. "Quick, shut the door!" Canti quickly responded, "Is dad out or here in the house?" Canti thought for a while and then the kanji for 'dewa arimasen' which means 'is not.'
"You mean, he isn't home right?" Canti nodded. "Thank goodness." Naota stood up and walked down the stairs. He grabbed some food and drinks from the fridge and lots of paracetamol. Then he went back up stairs again where Canti was still standing.
"You can go now, if you want." Naota said sliding the door half closed, but Canti didn't move.
-Stupid malfunctioning robot.- Naota thought as he put his gatherings on the floor and made his bed. Once he was done, he sat down and placed his hand on the metal coming out of his head.
"I suppose it's gonna come out later than I had expected." He poked it poked it but nothing happened, he didn't even feel any pain.
Same time the next day!
The Vespa was ……… still attached to his head. Naota had been camping in his bedroom for 24 hours. He had made Canti bring up his meals, Kamon and Shigekuni just gathered that he was up there because of puberty problems. Naota wouldn't leave his room until Haruko's Vespa was completely out of his head but he was growing impatient.
"Pull harder! Arghh!!!" Canti was holding onto the rim of the metal and was trying to pull it out of Naota's head. Naota was holding onto the stand of the bunk bed. Canti increased the pull on the Vespa as Naota cried in pain, and after 10 minutes of extreme pain, the wheel emerged and Canti let go. Naota looked at himself through the mirror.
"Oh great, now I look even worse than before." Suddenly the phone began to ring. Naota picked it up as Canti watched.
"Hello?" He asked, "Nandaba residence."
Hey Nao! It's me! It's me! Said the voice on the other end.
"Tasku?"
Yeh, how are you? I haven't talked to you or dad or anyone in a year. What's it like over there?
"It's a mess. Weird things have happened, but you don't need to worry about it."
Ah I see. Strange. How's dad?
"Still the same, perverted." Naota heard his brother laugh and then Naota looked seriously at the wall. "Tasku….. you're never coming back are you?"
There was a long pause on the other end. It made Naota think that Tasku had disappeared.
I don't think so. Well, actually I don't want to. How's Mamimi?
"Don't just think you can change the subject like that! You have to come back!! You must."
With anger, Naota slammed the phone down. He was about to walk back to his room when he felt the Vespa start to move. Screaming, Naota fell to the floor on his knees. He grabbed the ends of the wheel and started to pull. It wasn't coming out fast enough.
"Come out!! Canti!!!" Canti came into the hallway and immediately started to help pull it out. Slowly, just slowly, the seat of the Vespa was being pulled out.
"Come on! Do it like you mean it, PULL!" Canti leant forward and used his robot arms to pull it as hard as he could. Suddenly the rest of the Vespa popped out. Most of the Vespa was coated in blood. Naota lay down with exhaustion. The bright yellow / red Vespa's stand
automatically sprung out and stopped the Vespa from bouncing about. Canti had been slammed against the wall and in coincidence, had dented it. Once Canti had stood up, he looked at the Vespa and jumped over to it. He started to punch it, harder and harder. Naota opened his eyes and got up from the floor.
"What are you doing?!… Hey Canti stop it!" Naota shouted and shouted, but Canti didn't stop. Canti had pulled out the cables and wires and was starting to pull out the engine.
"Goddamnit Canti stop!" Canti finally did stop, but only after the Vespa was in pieces. Naota looked at the wreckage, and then at Canti.
'I was speechless. I wasn't sure whether I was angry or happy.
I hate Haruko. I'm glad that she isn't here even though I would've liked to have seen the expression on her face. I didn't miss her one bit for the past 9 months and for the other 2 months…. I'd rather not talk about it…….'
'You're really too amazing, Ta-kun. You're drinking sour coke and you do fooly cooly and googly googly and drooly drooly.'
Great quote from Mamimi! Sorry, I just love it, hilarious…
Anyway, if you hadn't noticed, this chapters over now…
