Pocket Notebook
Chapter 5Kokoro had Bijutsu help her rip off both her T-shirt sleeves and tied them around her bloody arm. Yuki whimpered and licked Kokoro's wounds. Kokoro hoped that the sleeves would stop the bleeding. Only about ten minutes had passed sense Sai had passed out over the ashes of the purple book. Kokoro glanced at her best friend every other second. Kokoro was deeply afraid of telling Sai about what happened, even though Sai was the one person she always told everything to.
It happened suddenly. Sai took a sharp gasp and curled herself into a ball, holding her head.
Kokoro rushed over to Sai's side and placed her hand on Sai's shoulder. Sai was in strong pain, Kokoro could almost feel the pain as she watched tears roll down Sai's face.
Slowly Sai stopped crying ad she started to remove her hands from her head. The pain was passing.
"Ugh, Kokoro, what's going on, were are we?" Sai questioned as she started to sit up. Sai lunged forward grabbing her forehead, "Ah, did I get hit by a car or something?"
Kokoro helped Sai up to her feet, "you mean, you don't remember?" worry was clear in Kokoro's voice."
"I coulda sworn that I was by the Sakurajima volcano, in the Cherry tree grove about sunset and some kid was talking strange things to me and now I'm here, and" Sai was about to continue her story, but something caught her eyes, "Kokoro!" She shouted causing her head to throb again, "What the… what happened to your arm? It needs medical treatment, right now."
"It's okay, it's stopped hurting," Kokoro stated calmly, this was a lie in fact it was hurting worse now that she was using it to help Sai walk, "I got it early today. I swear it'll be fine."
Sai stared scared and worried at Kokoro and then she glanced around the park. The sandbox had been destroyed and sand covered the enter park, Yuki stood next to a small boy with blood all over his mussel.
"That weird kid in the cherry grove and I," Sai's voice shook, "we did this didn't we, he was talking about powers and me reading a book to give them to him I told him no and everything's gone. I hurt you didn't I! This is all my fault isn't it!" Sai whipped her self away from Kokoro, holding her head Sai crumpled to the ground.
"I hurt you didn't I?" Sai now in tears muttered, "I hurt you," Sai was now on her knees, crying and holding her head.
Kokoro leaned over Sai and smiled, "No," Kokoro stated and continued to smile.
"What other explanation is there?"
"A puppet master hated me, never do that," Kokoro reached out her clean hand, "now how 'bout we go home? Today's Friday, we have a weekend to recover."
Sai pulled on Kokoro's arm as she stood and Sai vaguely nodded.
Kokoro smiled happily, "Good now, the best Chinese food place around here. We haven't gone there for a while."
Sai kept her face down cast and nodded.
"A buffet will cheer you up, Bijutsu your coming too! Yuki I'll bring home some McDonalds for you!"
Bijutsu jumped with joy and ran over to Kokoro's side and Yuki barked and began walking home.
Kokoro waved good-bye at sunset to Sai with her cloth-bandaged arm and a McDonalds in her unhurt hand. Bijutsu was by Kokoro's side happy, full and holding the blue-green book.
The two walked home leaving Sai to go off a different road. "Bijutsu," Kokoro started.
"Hm?" he wasn't paying attention, he was thinking about all the food ate.
"When people go to 'all you can eat' most people don't try to eat all the Kung Pow Chicken. People try to leave stuff for other customers."
"But it was so good, and really spicy!"
"We have to hurry to get this home, Yuki likes his hamburgers warm." Kokoro stated holding the McDonalds bag a little higher.
"Isn't it bad to feed dog stuff like that?"
"Yuki likes it."
"That's besides the point!"
"So?"
The two walked up to the only house in the neighborhood with a doghouse.
Kokoro walked up to the dog house and Yuki sprung up immediately, "sweetie, it's your favorite!" Kokoro cooed taking the hamburger out of it's box, "bacon, and cheese!" Yuki was patently waiting with his mouth watering. "On three in oh lets say… Indonesian! Satu, dua, tiga!"
Yuki jumped and grabbed the hamburger out of Kokoro's hand on 'tiga.'
Kokoro rubbed Yuki's head as he dug into the hamburger, "oh, good boy! Good boy!"
Bijutsu starred in awe, 'you taught, your dog Indonesian?"
"Of course! I taught him Chinese too. He has trouble with European languages, such as English or French (A/N: yes they are speaking Japanese) alright lets go in, I still have no clue how to convince mom to keep you so lets play the hopeless orphan?"
"uh… oh…kay?"
"Mom! Brats! I home!"
A woman in her mid-forties storms out. Her blue eyes had the gentle start of aging and her hair was starting to gray. She wore a baby pink apron over a pale blue dress.
"What in the world have you been doing?" the woman shouted in Kokoro's face, "yesterday I get a call for my daughter saying that you were at her house with several wounds! Yuki had blood over his mussel and you brought home a small child with you! Is it the same boy with you now?" she yelled glancing at the terrified Bijutsu, "And your arm! Those are new wounds! What have you been doing behind my back?" Kokoro's mother's face was steadily turning redder.
"Um, well, you see," Kokoro muttered to her feet.
"Don't talk back to me young lady! I'm not done yet! Who is this little boy? Have you been fighting? You have! You have dirt all over you and your bandages are lose! Why would you be fighting? You're a girl! Girls don't fight! And----" Kokoro's mother's face had hit purple.
"Oh come on Mom! I'm not a girl from the early nineteen hundreds! This boy is a boy that I found and he was being beat up on the street. I stood up for him and got hit a little. Yuki jumped in the fry because I was walking him and he protected me! Bijutsu has no place to go! His family dumped him out on the street!"
"Then why were you fighting today? They should have left you alone after you took the boy!"
"They came back after him!"
"Oh and I want to take a kid into my house that attracts violent thugs? Get real! If a boy like that is following you around I don't want any of it! That boy is out! Out, OUT, OUT!" Kokoro's mother yelled and pointed toward the door. "Don't you ever darken my doorstep again you wretched boy!"
"Mom that's heartless! Give it a second thought, please!" Kokoro pleaded.
"Take that boy to the orphanage if he's an orphan, but he has no business being here!"
Kokoro sighed, "Come on Bijutsu." Kokoro stepped out the door with Bijutsu by her side.
"Get rid of the boy as fast as you can!" Kokoro's mother yelled at the back of the door.
Out side Kokoro glanced at Bijutsu, that had not gone according to plan.
A/N:
Bwahahahahaha! Kokoro's mom doesn't want to take in anymore kids, so where does Kokoro get to take Bijutsu? I know you don't nah nah nah nah nah! I want to put more answers in this chapter and Sai's buffet behavior but that'll have to come later.
