It was the first week of school. The smell and warmth of April's wondrous springtime filled the people of Namimori with ease at this pleasant experience of the first few months of spring. Adults were getting ready for their jobs while the children were preparing themselves for both, their first day of school and their possible reunion with Hibari-san's tonfa. Now, it's only when the students are late that they'll meet their unfortunate demises at the hands of Hibari.
Whack!
The door slammed open, and a girl came through the entrance. Her features suggested she was a Japanese-European descendant with her Japanese's features being the most prominent. She's puny for her age, but the girl isn't microscopic. Her white evening-gown and her black hair curtaining over her face, the girl looked straight out of a horror film. Her steps were heavy. They sounded like elephants. She took large and slow steps towards the dinner table.
The child halts when she reaches the table.
An old woman sat at the front of the dinner table. She's dressed casual and comfortable with a sweater over a dress. Always, the dress is ankle-length with white socks peeking underneath. She's emanated an air of peace and tranquility. Not only that, but the best part is that she smells like citruses and peaches.
She's sipped her tea with her eyes closed. The flavor was ginger and peach.
Everything is completely silent with only the sounds of the occasional sips.
It takes a few minutes before the lady finishes her cup of tea.
Clamp.
She put the cup down.
The girl raises her head towards the woman.
The atmosphere was no longer the ideal aroma of peace and tranquility. Because behind those black curtains, the author gasped at the dramatic revelation! It's a face.
There were bags underneath her eyes. The girl smiled a frightful grin that showed all the teeth and gums, her brown eyes became slits with her wide her smile was displayed.
Clearly, the child wasn't having the best morning.
Being sleep-deprived and in the middle of her period, the girl only wanted to go back to sleep. Not even Hibari-san could stop her. The girl wanted her bed with the cozy comforters and she was going to get just that!
Beep, beep, beep! Let's sleep!
The girl started to wail, rocking back and forth on her heels.
Beep, beep, beep! Let's sleep!
Eyes were completely hidden by her bangs as her arms spread open.
Dear grandmother, don't you clearly bother to understand?
Her grin became sharp and animalistic.
I need to sleep, so request you to concede!
The girl cackled, tilting her head back.
I need sleep, not-
Bam!
Bitch slapped in the face, and the girl goes flying! Round one goes to Grandmother!
Rubbing her right hand after that painful slap, the lady raised herself from her seat. She sighed and stared at the defeated teenager. Her eyes softened at the pitiful sight before her. Her gaze hardened with irritation and annoyance. The woman took confident steps, standing right in front of the child.
"Child you're going to school and that's final, understand? If you rhyme one more time, you'll be seeing more of bruises. Evil child, Hibari's tonfa will play the second fiddler to the blows that'll receive from your granny if you're late on your first day. Now, get to school!
One, two, and three kicks later.
Finally, the girl comes back to consciousness and starts rising-
An extra kick and a backhand slap over the head!
Oh, sadistic Granny! I think that was for your own personal enjoyment there!
"Ow! Hey, Granny, that's enough with the abuse-"
"How is that abuse? Child, this is the old-fashion discipline! Be grateful that you weren't me when I was your age! I remember those days with my-"
"Granny, I think I'm good with the stories here-"
Whack!
"Ow!"
"Shoosh! Child, don't interrupt your elders! Now, I remember those days with my mother disciplining my sibling and me whenever we were disobedient. My brother, your grand-uncle was sent outside in the rain with only his underwear. He ran around the house for hours and it was snowing for Pete's sake! Dear lord, he was freezing after that run! But, child, here's the thing. Your grand-uncle became stronger because of that tough love! Child, you're my grand-daughter and that means that you can't be weak! Now, I know that you have to go to school right now, so I'll cut it short: child, if you don't face today, you'll never face tomorrow. Don't go all creepy on your granny! With all that black hair being pulled over your face and wearing that white dress: you look like an onryo! Well, that's all. Dear, it's must've been a long time since I've visited Japan to forget that. Well it's-"
Click.
During her long speech about the importance of discipline and the remembrances of childhood, Granny had her eyes closed for the majority of her presentation. She didn't finally realize that her granddaughter was no longer present until she heard the front door closing. She opened her eyes, staring down at nothing but empty space. Old, wrinkled eyes looked around the kitchen. Soon, Granny realized that she was all alone.
How dare that child!
"You insolent child! I'm old, but I'll show you why Hibari-san shouldn't be the one that you'll fear! Yui!"
"Ah, I'm finally free from that demented granny!"
The sky was bright and clear with the sun shone with radiance. The girl, known as Yui, was fully clothed in her Namimori Middle School uniform with her guitar case tightly secured over to her back.
Huff, huff, huff.
Hopefully, I'll make it in time before the bell rings. Man, making a bad impression on my first day in school at Namimori, really? Seriously? Like, no thanks! From what I've heard, Hibari-san is barely as terrifying as my granny! God, I rather not face that! Quickening her steps, Yui kept sprinting towards the direction of the middle school. Taking a sharp turn, Her pigtails and ribbons brushed against her redden cheeks. The combination of not getting enough sleep, only eating a toasted bread, and literally dashing to the school. Yui didn't think she'll last through her first day.
"There it is," Yui exclaimed in joy.
In its full glory, the school was only a few feet away. The building was enormous. In America, because she had lived in a relatively small town, their schools weren't that large. I think the school could only hold like 700 students if I remember correctly, Yui thoughted to herself as she was closing in on the building.
Almost there!
Ten
Five
Four
Three
Two
One-
Slam!
The first things that rushed through Yui:
Seriously?
I'm the unluckiest person in the entire universe!
Man, I skipped four hours of more sleep for nothing!
Sad face.
Well, time for the blackout now.
I'm so going to bring hell when I find the person I collided with!
Out
-Kaname, Yui
So, from what I've gathered from this observation: She's pissed. Dear, hopefully, she doesn't completely destroy the poor fellow.
Thank you and hope you enjoy!
Please, no flames!
Critiques are loved!
