Mmkay, I understand that what happened last was a little weird, but there is a reason for it. Enjoy.
Chapter 3:
Kida and Koji walked along a sidewalk in some neighbor hood after they'd cleaned up from their… detention… They walked up to an apartment building, going up the stairs to the third story.
"Why do we always take the stairs?" Koji asked Kida.
"Because you always follow me, and I'm afraid of elevators."
"Why?"
"I've seen too many movies where they've gotten stuck." Kida took out a key when they came to a certain door and unlocked the door. She and Koji automatically took off their shoes and were greeted by Kida's tabby cat, Fresco. Kida gently raised the cat to her chest, receiving a small, 'meow' from Fresco. Koji closed the door behind them.
"Hey sweetie…" Kida's mother said as they walked in. Suddenly, she noticed Koji. "Oh, and hello to you too, Kida." Kida set her cat down on the island in the apartment.
"Very funny Mom…"
"So where have you two been?" Koji was getting ready to say, 'Detention' bitterly, but Kida stopped him.
"The park." Kida's mother gave them a suspecting look. "A bird did its business on Koji's shoulder." She snickered. She then rushed Koji into her room, slamming the door shut.
"What was that about?" Koji questioned.
"My Mom doesn't know about the detention. After getting in so much trouble last year, she swore she'd send me to the U.S if I didn't straighten up."
"But we still have four days of detention left…"
"We'll just have to cover it up. Should be easy." Koji shrugged. Suddenly, Koji felt something crawling up his arm. His face took on the look of disgust. "What's wrong?" Koji rolled up his sleeve and… well, remember the thing with the mutilated bra? Let's just say this one HAD to be the queen. It was really big. Kida shrieked and her mother ran in with a spatula in hand.
"What's wrong, swe- WHAT THE HELL!" She smacked Koji's arm with the spatula, green guts smothering his pores. An even more disgusted look appeared over his face. "Where did that come from!"
"… The park I guess…" Kida said with a horrified look on her face. Her mother shrugged then left the room. Koji looked like he was ready to cry. "Koji?"
"G-gross…"
The next day!
Koji and Kida walked into the classroom with Takuya not far behind. Suddenly, three geeks with the same hair style and matching glasses walked up behind them.
"Hey Minamoto…" Koji turned around to the three headed science geek.
"What?"
"Lets talk… in private…" They said, motioning for Takuya and Kida to go away.
"Lets not."
"Or… should we share a little information with the class?"
"Share whatever you want…"One of them grabbed his pony tail, a mistake they would never again make. Koji swiveled around and grabbed the geek's wrist, squeezing harder and harder until it turned blue. "Don't. Touch. Me." He threw the boy's hand down and walked into the classroom. Kida and Takuya walked in after him.
Once they were at their desks, Takuya asked, "What was that all about?"
"Who cares?" Koji said.
"I do. What were they going to share?" Kida said.
"And again, who cares?"
"You should."
"Why?"
"You don't wanna ruin your rep, do you?"
"Falling for their so-called blackmail would have ruined my rep worse than whatever they think they can do. Takuya decided to step away from the conversation, thinking he could have a much calmer chat with Izumi, and maybe even ask her out…
"Hey Izumi."
"Hey, what's up with them?"
"Some geeks were trying to blackmail Koji."
"What happened?"
"He cut of the circulation in their wrist."
"Nice."
"Hey, you doing anything tonight?"
"No."
"Wanna go get a bite to eat, maybe a movie."
"Ah, the classics, huh?"
"What?"
"Sure, it's a date."
"Great." Suddenly, their attention was brought to their left as Kida was now yelling at Koji.
"YOU INCONSIDERATE JERK! How dare you!" Kida yelled, on foot on the seat of her chair, on foot on the top of the backing of the chair, on hand in a fist at her side, and the other pointing at Koji's forehead. Koji leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed across his chest.
"You were sticking your nose in my business."
"I WAS TRYING TO HELP YOU!"
"Maybe if you bring your voice down I'll feel grateful." And wouldn't you know it, Ms. Yukataga was standing right behind Kida, tapping on her shoulder. All anger slowly disappeared from Kida's face and was replaced with a mixture of shock, embarrassment, and nervousness.
"That's another week. Another outburst and I'll be calling your parents," the teacher told her. "You too Mr. Minamoto." Koji uncrossed his arms as disbelief struck is features.
"What! Why me!"
"I'm sure you had something to do with this." Koji glared at the teacher's back as she turned around to start her lesson.
Sometime later that period!
One of the three geeks had slipped away from the pack and snuck up behind Koji. He gently pulled Koji's shirt collar away from his shirt. He lifted a spider, black with bony little legs, up and slipped it into Koji's shirt. A shiver ran up Koji's spine. He could feel something crawling down his back. He began slowly hunching over as his eyes got larger and larger. He grabbed a hold of Kida's hair and tugged hard.
"OW!" She yelled. "Koji! YOU JER- what's wrong?" She asked, turning around to see Koji's horrified face.
"Something's in my shirt…" He said quietly.
"What?" Koji gasped as he felt it slip into his pants.
"AAAAAAAAH!" He screamed. He jumped up and began dancing around until the spider fell out of his left pant leg.
"What is the meaning of this!" And outraged Ms. Yukataga screamed. "ONE MORE WEEK! And I'm calling your parents, both of you!" She pointed to Kida who had screamed at Koji just a moment earlier had you forgotten. Kida banged her head on her desk. She. Was. Dead. Oh, and Koji's rep had just plunged down the toilet.
KJ signing off. OK, who else out there has arachnophobia? I do. I have it majorly. sigh Spiders… cringe
