WOO HOO! New chapter is UP! Yea, I'll leave anyone who reads this, be... I blame my parents!
To much of Chokuro's displeasure, she stayed home the next day, and ended up sleeping until noon. This put her in an aggravated mood.
"Grr…I do not like sleeping in. Whatever, I'll go get some food."
Chokuro got off her bed and headed to the kitchen. There was Kosuke and Emiko eating their lunch.
"Good morning Chokuro!" Emiko said in a very pleasant manner.
"Mornin' Emiko, Kosuke." Chokuro said with a yawn.
"Good morning." Kosuke responded to Chokuro.
"Ummm," Chokuro started. "What can I have for food?"
"For you," Emiko said standing up. " toast."
"Argh, I hate being sick."
"Yes. Well, if you feel better, you can go to school tomorrow."
"Yay!" Chokuro took the seat next to Kosuke and waited for her toast. "Thank you." Chokuro said as Emiko handed Chokuro her toast.
"You're welcome."
"Would you mind if, after I finish my toast, I go back into my room?"
"No, not at all."
"Cool. Cuz, since I am finished, I am gunna go be a bum in my room."
"Okay." Emiko said laughing.
It was four long hours until Daisuke returned home. Daisuke knocked on the door to Chokuro's room.
"Chokuro…?"
"Yea?"
"Can I come in?"
"Of course."
Daisuke opened the door to see Chokuro sitting on her bed with papers all over.
"What happened?"
"What?" Chokuro looked around and it finally clicked. "Ooh, you mean the papers?" Daisuke nodded his head yes. "Well, I got really bored so I was drawing and then I got mad at my drawings for not looking the way I wanted…And then I just got annoyed at everything and gave up and …yea…"
Daisuke just laughed at the image in front of him. "Well, I have the work you missed today. And we were assigned partners for a project."
"Okay, so who am I with?"
"Risa. She wasn't in today either."
"O…Okay…Eh, I don't mind her, I mind the fact she is overly obsessive. But no matter…"
"Oh…kay? But, how do you feel?"
"Much better, thanks."
"Okay. Well I'm going to go do my homework…"
"Okay. Have fun." Chokuro said with sarcasm.
"Heh. Thanks." Daisuke turned and left the room.
"Okay, I probably should do the homework too." She gave a sigh and started the homework.
That night, Chokuro ended up going to bed early since she still felt a little sick and she wanted to make sure she was well rested for the next day.
"Okay. New day… Yay… hey, I can rhyme!" -Wow, do I have issues.
Chokuro got ready and stood by the door waiting for Daisuke. When Daisuke came to the door, the two went on their way to school.
"How do you feel today?" Daisuke asked on their way to the classroom.
"Much better! Thanks for asking."
"You're welcome."
Class started and the teacher quieted the room down.
"Okay. Yesterday, we got our partners for the project. Today, we are working on the projects. So, get with your designated partner."
The class bustled to the teams of two they chose. Riku came over and sat next to Daisuke. Chokuro couldn't help herself.
"Aww, how cute."
The two turned a very deep shade of red.
"I kid…"
"Risa. Chokuro." The teacher called. The two stood and went to the teacher. "Since both of you were absent, you two have been paired up."
"Okay." Risa and Chokuro said.
"Shall we?" Chokuro said with a hand pointing to her desk. Risa giggled and went to the desk that was behind Chokuro's desk. "Okay. So what are we supposed to do?" Chokuro laughed.
"Um. Not too sure." Risa had a look of I-don't-know on her face.
"Hold on… Daisuke."
"Yea?" Daisuke said turning to face them.
"What are we doing?"
"Oh. Um… You have to do a report on someone, from 400 years ago, that made an impact on life today."
"Thank you Daisuke. You are ever so wonderful." Chokuro said to the blushing redhead. "Okay…" Chokuro turned to Risa. "Have any clue who we could do?"
"No…"
"Okay. This bites. Well, we can work on it after school. If you'd like."
"Sure. We can go to my house."
"'Kay. So it's decided…your house, after school, we find people. Woo hoo!"
"Okay. But what do we do until then? We don't have anything to do, and we are working on this all day."
"…Uhhh…Dunno…I would bother Daisuke, but that'd be mean. Heh." Chokuro laughed. "Idea!"
"What?"
"We talk."
"…"
" Well, we really don't know too much about each other. I only know your name and that you have a sibling. You only know my name and the fact that my family is gone."
"Oh yea."
"See. So you can start."
"Okay. How?"
"Uhh, I dunno…we have all day. Start from whatever you please. Besides, my life's boring."
"Umm. Okay. Well…I'm the youngest because Riku was born five minutes before me." Risa gave Riku a dirty look then continued. "Umm, I can't think of anything else to say right now, so why don't you start?"
"Um, okay. I am the middle child of 11; five older brothers, five younger brothers…"
"I thought you had no family?"
"I don't."
"But, you just said that you have five older brothers and five younger."
"I do. But they died…"
"O, sorry."
"It's okay…so, yes, my mother actually died when she was giving birth to my younger brother… Poor dad and Sasaskue…" Chokuro's voice was trailing off at the memory. "The anniversary of her death was, actually, the day I met you…Heh…. But, anyway…umm, my favorite color is green… I like to draw… Ummm…I like to cook too…all I can think of for now."
Risa sat there with a look of shock on her face.
"Risa? Are you okay?"
"Hmm? Yea…I'm sorry."
"It's okay…I've gotten over it… mostly." Chokuro said with a small smile. "But, anywho…wow, there's only a few more minutes until lunch…cool."
"Really? I didn't notice."
"That happens a lot when I talk to people. Hah."
The bell rang and Riku and Daisuke came over to eat lunch with Risa and Chokuro.
"Hey Daisuke, Riku!" Chokuro said as they sat down.
"Hello, Daisuke… Riku." Risa said.
"Hi Chokuro. Risa." Daisuke and Riku responded.
"How's your guys' project goin?" Chokuro asked.
"Oh…" Daisuke started. "Good…yours?"
"Umm, we're gunna start it later…I'm going over Risa's and we're gunna find it then... So, Daisuke, I won't be walking home with you."
"Okay."
"So, yes…"
Finished with this chaper! Go me! WOO HOO! LAst Day of School was today, and that's why I posted this... TO celebrate...
