Chapter 30: The First Day at Tokyo-U or Brandon gets cursed!
The first Monday of September…
It was a somewhat chilly morning, by the way Brandon and Shinobu's new kitten, Sasami, was cuddled next to them (relax, they didn't "do the dew" yet). They were both sleeping soundly, but that was about to change. It was 5:59.
Brandon and Shinobu: zzzzzzz….
Sasami got up, stumbled over to the alarm clock, and hit the snooze button just as the alarm went off. Sasami then put her paw up to her mouth, in a particularly human mannerism.
Sasami:……
Then she took a deep breath in.
Sasami: WAKE UP!
Both Brandon and Shinobu jumped out of bed, startled from the scream.
Shinobu: W-what the hell?
Brandon (still slightly asleep): who screamed….?
Sasami: Over here. Next to the alarm clock.
They both look and are surprised to see Sasami standing on her haunches, and then she seemingly floats down.
Brandon & Shinobu: O.O
Sasami: Hey, you two. I know you're shocked and astonished that you just saw a kitten float and talk at the same time, but it's 6:02. You've got college.
Both look dumbfounded before Sasami's statement reaches home. They bolt up and start getting their clothes on, having taken showers the night before.
Sasami: Hurry up, go! Go!
Su pops in the room, expecting to see the two asleep, and is shocked that they're almost ready. She's even more shocked, though, that a kitten is giving them orders like a drill sergeant.
Sasami: Hurry it up! Get that hair combed! Brush those teeth! You! Leave the T.M. Revolution CD alone and hurry up!
Su: o.o A talking kitten…
Sasami turns around and puts her paws on her hips.
Sasami: And I suppose you've seen weirder things than this?
Su: …Yeah, I have!
Shinobu and Brandon finish getting ready and head out.
Shinobu: See you at English, Su!
Brandon: Catch you later, Su!
Su: -.- poooooooo….
They eat a quick breakfast along with Adara, Peter, Motoko, and Himeko, and the five of them run like bats out of hell to the train to Tokyo-U. Upon arrival, they each split up. Su, Peter, and Himeko heading to one part of the campus ( Su and Peter take World History together, while Himeko has Archeology yeah, she's interested in it. Lol) Adara, Brandon, Motoko, and Shinobu heading towards another part (Brandon and Motoko are taking Geometry the proofs are a pain for them, Shinobu is taking English, and Adara is taking Political Sciences).
Later, after they each have two classes finished, they meet up to discuss what to have for lunch.
Brandon: Gah, I have no idea what places are around here to eat at…
Su: How about that burger joint?
Motoko: -- …Oh hell, why not? I'll burn off the calories in kendo club, anyway.
They arrive there to place their order, and are greeted by a high-school girl with dark green hair and somewhat attractive features at the cashier.
Cashier girl: Welcome to GoodBurger, home of the GoodBurger, can I take your order?
Brandon has to stifle a laugh and turn his head, while Shinobu orders what they all want (they're all pitching in to pay the bill).
Motoko: What's so funny?
Brandon: The line she said…heh…was straight out of an old comedy show that I used to watch as a kid. (snickers)
Su: What show? I might've seen it.
Brandon: Trust me, you haven't. It only shows in America, as far as I know.
Su: Puuuuu…it sounds fun…
Peter: It is pretty damn funny. Well, it was, I should say. We haven't seen it in ages.
After sitting down for a couple of minutes (there was 20 orders ahead of them), another group of Tokyo-U students sits down near them. A guy with short black hair, wearing casual clothes sees Shinobu among them and walks over.
Guy: Hey, Maehara-san, how are you?
Shinobu: Oh, hi Souichi!
Souichi: You've got some new friends here, I wager. And you changed your hair over the summer! It looks good.
Shinobu: Thanks. These are my roommates at Hinata House: Himeko, Adara (she's Su's cousin), Peter, and Brandon. They're brothers.
Souichi: Wait a minute. What are two guys doing at a girl's dorm?
Brandon: Well, Keitaro-sempai appointed me to be the new landlord. I got the landlord's room as a result, and I put my brother in a spare room.
Souichi: Oh, so you're the new landlord? I notice that you're half American, judging by your first names.
Peter: Yes, that's right.
Souichi: Well, it's nice to meet you three. So, Maehara-san. Do you want to have some coffee with me?
Shinobu: Oh, no thank you. I'm pretty busy.
Souichi: Then, when you have free time, you want to go to the movies or something like that?
Brandon slightly veinpops, as he figured out that Souichi is trying to get Shinobu on an unofficial date.
Shinobu: Souichi, you know that if I wanted to date you, I would have done so by now, since we've known each other since freshmen year. Besides, I already have a boyfriend.
Souichi: O.O Who is he?
Brandon: Right here.
Souichi stands there for a moment, then says: So, you're her boyfriend?
Brandon: Yes.
Souichi: And how long have you known each other?
Shinobu: We've been friends for almost a year now. We just started going out.
Souichi, seeing that he's on the ropes at this point, politely says goodbye to them and heads back to the table where his group is at.
Shinobu: whew
Su: Geez, he doesn't give up, does he?
Motoko: That kind of man irritates me. He needs to know when to call it quits.
Shinobu: True. That's what attracted me to you, Brandon.
Brandon: What part about me attracted you?
Shinobu: Well, you're nice, but you give everyone space. As long as they show you the proper amount of respect and courtesy, you get along with everyone.
Brandon: Well, I tend to be the one who does that first, but yeah, I see what you're talking about. Heh.
Both of them blush, and Motoko gets irritated again.
Motoko: Alright. That's enough between you two lovebirds for now! First, I don't have a boyfriend, and secondly, here comes our food.
They finish their meal, head back to Tokyo-U, and continue with their classes. During one of Brandon's classes, however, he's accosted by Souichi.
Souichi: Alright. How did you do it?
Brandon: Huh? Do what?
Souichi: How did you win Maehara-san over? It couldn't have been with your looks, since she's not that kind of person.
Brandon: Eh? Why are you asking me this?
Souichi: She's one of the most attractive women in this entire campus. She's also one of the most popular, due to those looks and great grades. How did you get to be her boyfriend?
Brandon: I just acted like myself. I'm naturally a nice guy. It was awhile, but we became good friends, and then about two weeks ago we started dating.
Souichi: So you're saying you just did what came natural to you and let time handle the rest? That's not how things happen. And considering what I've heard about Hinata House, you're not telling me the whole story.
Brandon: To be honest, I don't have to tell you the whole story, since you're acting a bit like a jerk. Now lemme alone.
Souichi: Enjoy the time you have, because thanks to some connections I have, your relationship with Maehara-san will go down in flames.
Souichi storms off, leaving Brandon to wonder, because of all the things he's seen in his time at Hinata House, if it was an empty threat or if Souichi meant what he said.
After about another two hours, classes were done for the day. As they headed to the tram that would take them to Hinata, Brandon discussed the encounter he had with Souichi to the others.
Peter: What an asshole! Damn, he pisses me off!
Shinobu: Well, now I'm definitely NOT going out with him, ever!
Motoko: Next time I see him, he's dead.
Brandon: Hey, don't do anything rash.
They reach Hinata House in time to see the mailman pull up.
Brandon: He isn't going to drop it and run, is he?
Instead of doing that, however, the mailman walks up to him and asks him to sign for a package.
Brandon: Huh? Who's it from?
Mailman: Eh? Uhhhhh….
Brandon: Alright, what's the deal? I'm not signing for anything if I don't know who it's from! Wait a second, you're not the mailman that comes here…
Just then, the "mailman" rips open the package and throws the object in it at Brandon, who catches it, and is hit with a beam of light from it.
Brandon: What the fuck! COME BACK HERE, ASSHOLE!
The mailman runs off, contacting someone on a walkie-talkie cellphone.
Mailman: Alright, I did it. You happy!
Woman's voice: Yes, very good job. However, your usefulness has ended.
Mailman: What!
The bag he's carrying blows up, ripping him apart.
Himeko puts up a ki barrier in time to shield them from the blast. She then sees the object that Brandon's holding and gasps.
Himeko: Brandon-san! Are you alright!
Brandon: Why wouldn't I be?
Himeko: Hang on, everyone inside!
At the dorms, Himeko tells everyone that the object Brandon caught is a cursed object called "The Shifting Orb".
Kitsune: So…what's it do?
Himeko: That's the thing. I read about it in archeology class, but there wasn't enough information on it. It said that it caused a massive amount of chaos for the old Japanese Emperors, but as to what actually happened, it's anybody's guess.
Kanako: Fine then. We should watch Brandon in case anything happens to him. In the meantime, we continue what we were doing.
Brandon: Alright, that's fine. Shinobu and I are going to study for a few hours, then I'm going to bed early tonight.
May: Why?
Brandon: Because I don't want our kitten to wake us up again. Haha.
Early the next morning…
Sasami: Hey you two! Wake up!
Brandon, shirtless and in some jeans, groans: What is it? It's 5:00 right now!
Sasami: Shinobu found some hentai in Adara's room!
Brandon: What! Hang on…
They head over to Adara's room, where Shinobu is already reprimanding Adara.
Shinobu: I don't want to see this stuff in here! You're not Barbara, for God's sake!
Barbara teleports in: Hey! Don't badmouth me!
Brandon: Alright, Shinobu. I heard you found some hentai in Adara's room. Just throw it out.
Adara: It's my collection of yaoi, though…
poof!
Brandon: What the!
Shinobu and Barbara turn to see a girl with light brown colored hair down to her waist, in jeans and with "D" cup breasts.
Shinobu: O.O AUUUUUU! WHO ARE YOU!
Brandon: Wh? It's me, Shinobu. Waitaminute…my voice sounds feminine. And why does my chest feel heav-O.O OH MY GOD! GYAAAAHHHHHHH!
Barbara: Ooooh, things are looking up for me!
Barbara begins to get "that look" in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Brandon is still freaking out.
Brandon: GYAAAAAHHHHH! HOW'D I BECOME A GIRL! YAAAAAHHHHHHH!
O.O ………………I pulled a Ranma on Brandon.
