XxXSenko's POVXxX
I woke up the next morning with last night's incident still in mind. I could feel the heat rising in my face as I recalled in my mind what had happened. It felt so good to be loved though. Ever since Mom died, I haven't been loved a lot. No one really cared about me. Not even the doctors, and it's their JOB to care. Isn't that just sad.
There was a sudden thump from the other side of the room. It jolted me out of my thoughts, as I turned to the source of the noise. What I saw was so priceless, I couldn't help but crack up.
There lay Yuki, wrapped in his blankets, struggling to get free. You could see his arms and legs flailing around under the blankets trying to break free. During one flail, he hit the bed, for he's on the floor, and suddenly stopped moving. I was suddenly filled with worry, until I heard him scream 'WHAT THREAD COUNT IS THIS? GEEZ!' Then I started laughing again, but of course, all good things have to come to an end. Sadly, for me, that ment my laughing tangling me up in my own blankets, until I fell off the bed with a thump. And joined Yuki in his futile fight against the sheets.
It had been at least 30 minutes until we stopped to laugh. We were, of course, still trapped in our separate sheets. I heard the door creak open, but was too busy laughing to care. I heard someone clear their throat. But still, I didn't care. Then I pictured in my mind what this person would be seeing, 2 bundles of whites sheets, moving about, laughing, knocking things over.
That only made me laugh harder. I could hear Yuki still laughing as well.
Both of our laughing stopped abruptly when we got kicked in the side.
"OW! HEY WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" I shouted to the unknown visitor.
"You wouldn't shut up! And you look ridiculous." That voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"WHAT DO YOU EXPECT! THIS HAS A VERY HIGH THREAD COUNT!" I heard Yuki start laughing again from the other side of the room. Everything as muffled, being inside a ball of sheets does that, but I could still hear the joy in his laugh.
I felt pressure on top of me and then suddenly, the sheets were pulled off and I was twirled into the air until I landed on my back, same with Yuki.
I groaned as I sat up slowly.
"YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT!" I jumped to me feet, outraged that this person would dare mess with me. "WHO DO YOU-" I was cut off my Yuki's lips against mine. I stood there stunned, until he pulled away, and I regained my composure.
I looked at him, so see a smile smirk on his lips as he gestured to the sheet culprit. I saw 2 boys, both about our age, one had orange hair, while the other had both black and white hair. Wait a second, I know these people. It all became clear.
I extended my hand with a friendly smile. "nice to meet you Kyo, and Haru. I would have been nicer if I knew it was you 2."their mouths dropped, while Yuki started laughing to himself. I could see in his eyes that he knew I wouldn't have acted any differently. So I gave him a playful glare.
Turning back to the Sohma's, I found they weren't alone. There were 9 others. I instantly recognized then as the other zodiac. Some were missing, I could tell by counting.
"You must be the other zodiac" I bowed, then straitened myself. "some of you are missing, but that's not the point." I smiled at them kindly. No matter how nice I acted, none of them got out of their state of shock. This annoyed me. WHY CAN'T THEY ACCEPT THAT I KNOW VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM! Ok ya, that would be hard to accept, but they don't have to know I know that.
I turned to Yuki with a cute pout on my face. "why won't they listen to me?" he was still laughing, but stopped when he heard my voice, and knew it was directed towards him. Instead of answering, he shrugged.
My eye twitched, but I turned back to the others, willing myself not to punch each and every one of them.
"you know what, I'm hungry, if you care to eat, I'll see ya there." With that, I walked out of the room and into the cafeteria. I got my feed, feed…hehe……, ANYWAY! MING GETTING OFF TRACK THERE! I ate as fast as I could, without damaging any of my internal organs, gotta watch out for that ya know, and went to say hello to my old friends.
First, I went to Veronica's room. She had a room farthest from mine, she also just gave birth to a little baby girl. Apparently, something was wrong with the birth or something, and things got complicated. If I remember correctly, we was in labor for over 2 days. She deserves to be seen.
I walked in the room to see Veronica lying on her bed, cradling a cute baby in her arms. She noticed me instantly, and smiled one of her lovely smiles. I smiled back and sat down in the chair next to her bed.
"Did you name her yet?" I've always been curious about what she'd name her baby. Veronica is a very unique person.
"Well, I wanted to name her after someone." Her sweet voice was a welcome sound to my ears, that were so accustomed to the beeping of machines. "but then I realized, it's not like me to copy someone else." That's true. I've known her since the day I was born, literally. We share the same birthday, and the rooms were next to each other. Gotta love coincidence. "Still, there was one name, that stood out to me. In my eyes, this name stood for courage, and to never give up. For compassion and caring. To be strong." She had that look in her eyes, that ment she was serious, and had thought this through thoroughly. "Senko. True, it is supposed to be longer, but, Senko seems to hold so much more."
I think I just had another heart attack. She was seriously naming her only child after ME! This was a HUGE honor. I don't know what to say. She smiled at me, and looked me in the eye, and in some way, she knew just how much I appretiated it.
"I've never seen that look before, Senko. Gratitude. Something I'd never thought I'd see you show." When the baby heard the name 'Senko', she automatically reacted, and thought someone was talking to her. What a smart baby. Her eyes searched the room, until they reached her mom with a curious look. Veronica smiled, and kissed the baby's head.
The way she looked at baby Senko, it was indescribable. It was the look someone gave something when they had lost the closest thing to them, and then that something takes its place, and makes you unbelievably happy. You see, Veronica is the same age as me. She's been through some tough times. Somehow getting pregnant. It was shocking at first, but people got used to it, except her parents. They were so ashamed, they killed themselves. When I found out, I was devastated; Veronica's parents were the only things keeping her from killing herself. I ran away from the hospital, where I was currently being housed, to go to Veronica. I stayed with her for many months, never leaving her side. We had both lost our parents, so we knew how we each felt. 8 months into her pregnancy, the doctors found something wrong. I never wanted it fully explained, so I don't know much about it. they said any complications can be avoided, if a certain procedure is taken, but it would be costly. I didn't care, I paid it on the spot. It all worked out, though she hasn't found the dad yet.
I looked at her sadly, but smiled at how brave she had been. She slowly fell asleep, like she does about this time, die to medications or something.
I quietly walked out of the room, and went to the front office. There I learned that most of my other friends checked out. I was happy they were better, but sad to know that that only left Veronica and Yuki.
I slowly walked back to my room. I wonder what they've been doing this whole time. When I entered the hall that had my room in it, I started hearing shushing noises. Curious, I walked to my room, and slowly opened the door. It was pitch black. Searching the wall for the light switch, my hand hit a switch, but I didn't turn on the lights.
Balloons and confetti fell onto of me as everyone jumped out simultaneously with the lights.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SENKO!" I was amazed. How'd they know it was my birthday. I was shown to the cake, and the celebrations began.
It may be short, but I got school tomorrow. Don't expect perfection from me! I was doing this kinda rushed! Sorry sorry sorry! I'm trying to update more often! Please review! Thanx!
