Bird: OH MY GOSH! Someone actually bothered reading my other fic:SHOCK: Thanks soooo much!
P.U.:sigh: how pathetic. You know, people should at least know who the writer of the fic's real name is!
Bird: But Birdcrazy is my real name:shifty eyes:
P.U.: Yeah, suuuuuuure… (PRESSURE! PRESSURE! PRESSURE! PRESSURE!)
Bird: UGHHAH! Okay, my real name is Valerie. Or Lee-Lou because that's what this weird kid in my class calls me. (It's based on my last name… such a weird kid…)
Bird: You know what's funny? "Valerie" means strong, and my zodiac is chicken. HAHAHAHAHA! OH, THE IRONY! AHAHAHA!
Book Shop
Showing the Ropes
"WHAT! Crazy #$!" Kyo cried. (this is rated K, anyways) he snatched the book from Tina's hands. "That doesn't go there before you check it into the inventory system!" Kyo started patronizing Tina, and giving her a good scold. The shouting woke Ayame up from his nap.
"Hm?" he said, and his hand subconsciously started scratching his… er… unmentionables. (A/N: That did wonders to his reputation…)
"Look, you use the scanner and press the button!" Kyo said trying to suppress is rage.
"I know, sis, are you stupid or what?" Will cut in after Kyo's statement
"Shut your crud-eating hole! Like you're doing any better! Get her away from me!" she glared.
"Now, now, sis. Getting worked up like that is hard on the body. It does horrors to your complexion! And if your complexion got any worse, we would have to walk in blindfolds in worry of seeing your face!" He said smugly. "I'm going to get a head start to get away from it!"" Tina brushed it off and went back to work.
"Aughhh! You guys are gonna give me white hairs tomorrow! Be quiet!" Kyo complained loudly. A bystander noticed that Tina had no hair.
"Me too... If that was possible," Haru said, rubbing his temples from the noise. Smart, Kyo, he thought. Shouting to stop the shouting...
"Dude, you see that?" the bystander said.
"The chick? Yeah… she's cute, but she's… bald! Why is she bald? Does she have leukemia?" The other guy said. The shrugged and bought their books. Tina's sensitive ears heard their conversation. She rubbed her head.
"Why are you bald, anyways?" Kyo asked.
"I'm a monk, you know? The traveling kind, a houshi if you prefer, but I've decided to lay off it for awhile, settle down until I'm done teaching Will how to be a proper houshi," she said.
"Oh…" Kyo said. "Can you ward off evil spirits and all that stuff?"
"Hmmm… Yes, I'm quite sure," she replied.
"How wonderful…" Kyo said with a sarcastic tone, although he wasn't being sarcastic at all. He just didn't know how to express his happiness.
Bird: So, Kyo, why is it so wonderful?
Kyo: BECAUSE I CAN FINALLY VANQUISH THAT KUSO NEZUMI! DAMN HIM!
Bird: And?
Kyo: What and?
Bird: AKITO! HELLOOOOOO!
Kyo: Oh, yeah, and Akito…
MEANWHILE, WITH YUTA!
Yuta only needed one bag of luggage for all his belongings.
FLASHBACK
"Oh, Yuta! What a mess! Who needs this? Or this? Or this? Oh, you're about to outgrow those pants anyways," Mrs. Taguchi said, throwing away Yuta's items in a flurry.
"Ano…" Yuta said. "So what am I keeping?"
"Oh, 3 sets of shirts and pants, 3 pairs of socks, your toothbrush and toothpaste, and… Oh yes! Your uniform! You won't need toys at your half-brother's house! There are plenty of people there to keep you busy," His mother said, counting the things off as if on some sort of checklist.
END FLASHBACK
Yuta approached the big mansion, with pearly white walls and a lot of important-looking business people scurrying in and out. He nervously rang the doorbell. A man with sunglasses and a radio-microphone mouthpiece answered him.
"I-I'm T-Taguchi Y-Yuta… Akito-sa-sama was ex-ex-exp-pecting m-me," he stuttered. He was led into a dank, dark room.
"You're here…" Akito whispered. "Go. I will have other uses for you, but not now. Obiyashi will lead you to your room." Akito was stark still, his eyes shining brightly with what Yuta thought looked like evil. Yuta flinched as a FREAKIN'-BIG bodyguard, which he assumed was Obiyashi, grabbed him by the shoulder and ushered him into a different room, retrieved his hands back to his sides, and stiffly walked back the his high master, Akito.
AT ZE BOOKSHOP…
"Oh boy… I can see these retarded white hairs already!" Kyo shouted.
"Stop complaining, that's not white hair… it's… uh… gray hair, so you have nothing to worry about!" Tina said. "Tohru-chan! Over here! Could you be at the register? I'm at customer service today."
"Oh! Gomen nasai, I'm coming!" Tohru chattered. Her long hair swept behind her, wearing a smile as she ran clumsily across the store. Will stared at her, hoping she wouldn't stare back, because those big, innocent brown eyes would enrapture him, and it would lead only to embarrassment if he couldn't pull his eyes away from her carefree gaze. He blushed at the thought.
"Oooooh, look who's got a BFC—a big 'effin crush!" Tina teased.
"What crush? Why would I have a crush against Tohru?" Will spewed.
"BIG 'EFFIN CRUSH!" Tina continued.
"Shut your yap!" Will said, pouting.
