Chapter 16- Boredom

"Man, I'm board!" VG complained, sitting on the window seat, his legs up to his chest, staring out the window. He watched all the people walking around, taking their freedom for granted. His grey ears twitched with annoyance. Mainly because he wasn't allowed outside during the day. He sighed, wishing he could go outside. He even wanted to go to school, if it ment getting out of the house. He kept up with his studies through Sam and May. They brought him his work, and helped him with it.

"I'm going to go insane if I don't get out of this house!" He shouted

"You might as well make the best of it, cat." Kero said

"Theres a best of it?" VG asked, glaring at the guardian.

"Yeah, you get to hang out with me!" Kero said

"Yeah, lucky me." VG said, sarcastically, rolling his eyes. VG's tail started swishing back and forth, out of boredom, getting Kero's attntion. He tranformed into his big form, and attacked the tail, biting down on it.

"YYYEEEOOWW!" VG shouts, grabbing his tail from the giant lion, "What was that for?"

"I couldn't help it." Kero said, sheepishly grinning, "I guess my cat side took over."

"You're so funny." VG said, and went to his room, his ears down against is head, in anger (Like when a cat get angry). Kero looked triamphunt at his making the young Neko-jin get his mind of boredom.

"I know." Kero said, to himself, still grinning.

School

"Okay, class, today we will learn about the quadratic formula." the teacher said. Moans and groans excaped the mouthes of the students in the room.

"Man, I hate math." May said

"You and me both." Sam said, putting her chin in her hand.

Li's house

VG was still in his room, and Kero, now back in his small form, deicided to check on him. He walked up the stairs to the room that held the Neko-jin's belongings. H opened the door, and found said Neko-Jin no longer in the room, and the door open. Kero's eyes widened.

"No, he snuck out!" Kero said, "I have to find him!" He flew out the window, and looked around, when he heard something that sounded like a window closing. He flew back up, and saw VG smiling at him, and waving. "Hey! Let me in!"

"Nope. Have fun." VG said, and plopped himself on his bed, going through his cards. "I have ten cards, and I've only tranformed three of them. Man, how am I supposed to tranform them if I can't leave this house?"

"VG, why are you talking to yourself, and where is Kero?" Li asked, coming in the room.

"Talking to yourself is what happens when you get really board and lonely, and Kero ditched his job. I told you he was more likely to leave the house than I was." VG said, not looking up from his small deck of cards.

"I knew that stuffed animal couldn't be trusted." Li said, looking at Kero, through the window. Kero started sweating bullets from Li's glare. "And I have your homework. May and Sam are waiting down stairs." He hands VG a math, science, language arts, and history book.

"Awe, man." VG complained, "I can't leave AND I have to do all this homework! This isn't fair!"

"There's nothing you can do until we get all the cards, so get used to it." Li said

"But we only have then cards, and Sam has twelve." VG said, "So thats twenty two cards. Theres still thirty out their. And its taken almost two months to get these."

"Sam and May are waiting." Li said, "Get to our homework."

"Yes, mom." VG said, and walked out the door.

"Hi, VG." May said, when she saw him coming down the stairs.
"Hi. What did you learn today?" he asked

"Something I should have been paying attention too." May said. Rubbing the back of her head.

"I paid attention." Sam said, "We learned the quadratic formula."

"I thought she said something about quadrapeds." May said, looking confused.

"Lets get started." Sam said, "First you..."

Later

"Okay, thanks." May said, "I think I get it."

"Good." Sam said, "I swear, I helped you more than VG, and you were in class."

"Hehe, yeah." May said, "Math makes me dizzy."

"Everything makes you dizzy." VG said, still writing things down.

"Hardy har har." May said, sarcastically.

"That was some good cake!" Kero said, coming from the kitchen, with chocolate all over his small yellow face, "Aged to perfection."

"You ate my cake!" VG said

"Maybe." Kero said, licking the frosting from his face. "Was it in a blue plate with a sign that said 'Do not eat'?"

"Yes..."

"Than I ate it." Kero said

"That was my science project!" VG said, "It was supposed to get all moldy! Its been in there for almost a week and I don't have time to start over!"

"Oops, sorry." Kero said, grinningsheepishly.

"That projuect was imprtant so I don't fail, since I can't take the tests!" VG said, "Now I'm going to fail science!"
"I said I was sorry!" Kero said

"Sorry doesn't get me a passing grade, does it!" VG shouted back.

"About that card?" Sam asked

"Ya know, what! I need air." VG said, heading to the door.

"But its not dark out." May said

"I won't get caught." VG said,opening the door. "Li!"

"What do you think you're doing?" Li asked, from the other side of the door.
"Um, opening the door." VG said, avoiding eye contact.

"Well, its time for dinner, go get washed up." Li said, and came in, closing the door behind him, "Would you two like to stay?"

"Sure." Sam and May said

"Okay, by stuffed animal." Li said

"What? Why do I have to leave?" Kero asked

"Because I heard you ate VG's science project. So, leave, before I make you leave."

"Like you could!"

"Hey, don't take to my sensei like that!" VG said

"You goona stop me?" Kero said

"Yeah! You wanna take it outside?" VG asked, glaring the the small guardian.

"Yeah!" Kero said, and floated out the door, when VG opened it. As soon as he was out, the door slammed shut. "Hey! You tricked me!"

"So?" VG said, through the door. "So, whats for dinner?" could be heard, fading away, as if the person who said it was walking from the door.

End Chapter. Sorry it wasn't up to par, but I'm lacking inspiration. R and R.
