I have finally triumphed over the glomping part. WHOOOOO! And now that school is out, I can hopefully write more. EEEEEEEEE! I'm now a college freshman….terrifying.
Chapter 10: In Which There Is Yet Another Fight
Around 6, they began their trek to the festival. Nothing of interest happened along the way except that Megan attacked someone. It was a Sasuke wannabe coming back from an anime convention. Being that Megan was a die hard Sasuke fan, when he wasn't being a jerk, she couldn't contain herself. The poor thing. He didn't even see it coming. Once Megan caught sight of him, she took off at a dead run towards him. The only rational thought that passed through her mind at the moment was not to glomp him, for that would cause her to transform. So instead, she got him in a vicious head lock at first. The Sasuke let out a frightened yelp and Megan let go of him. She then grabbed his shoulders and began to shake him violently while screaming "IT'S SASUKE! OMG IT'S SASUKE!" at the others, who were currently fearing for the Sasuke's safety. The Sasuke quickly untied his head protector and offered it Megan as a bribe to leave him alone. Megan squeed and only jumped up and down more. KT came up and saved poor Sasuke and dragged Megan away. It was a good thing that there wasn't an Itachi around otherwise it would have been worse.
"I got a head protector! Yeah! Whoo!" Megan said raising the head protector for the heavens to see. KT was very close to ripping the protector from her and beating her to death with it.
"Does she ever shut up!" Kyo asked looking at Megan who hadn't stopped squee-ing yet.
"Give her a few minutes to bask in her victory. If she doesn't' shut up in 5 minutes, we can go ninja on her ass." KT said. Within 5 minutes, but just barely, Megan had calmed down and was now sporting her trophy around her upper arm.
Upon arriving, KT suggested that they grab a bite to eat. Kyo suggested sushi (hmm I wonder why?). KT, Yuki, and Tohru agreed but Megan and Haru opted for something else. Megan and Haru decided to separate from the group and journey for an alternate food source.
"What do you feel like?" Haru asked Megan.
"I don't know."
"Sukiyaki!" Momiji suddenly said appearing behind them and glomping Megan.
"Momiji? Where did you come from?" Megan asked trying to dislodge Momiji.
"I followed you silly!" he said "Piggyback ride!" Megan decided that it was probably safer to just do what he asked. So she decided to humor him.
"All right." Megan sighed as she crouched down so Momiji could get on.
"So what is Sukiyaki?" Megan asked Haru as Momiji wrapped his arms around her neck.
"It's a beef dish. Its really good. You'll like it." He explained
"Lets get a big pot so we can all share!" Momiji suggested. Haru nodded and told the vender his order. Within 5 minutes, the order was ready. Haru held it out for Megan to try. It took Megan a few tries to get a piece since she was basically chopstick illiterate. She examined the piece of beef before popping it into her mouth. She blinked as she slowly chewed it over. Her eyes bulged.
"Mmmm!" she swallowed "This is GOOD!" she said waving her chopsticks. Haru smiled.
"Told you." He said popping his own piece into his mouth.
"Let me have some! Let me have some!" Momiji yelled as he jumped circles around them.
They met up with the rest of the group.
"Want some?" KT asked Megan, offering her some sushi with her chopsticks.
"Uh-uh. And quit showing off!" Megan yelled. Unlike Megan, KT was a master of chopsticks.
"You must practice, young grasshopper." KT said acting like a sensei of some sort before picking up a single grain of rice and waving it around in front of Megan's face to taunt her. Megan closed her eyes as a vein bulged on her forehead. After walking around for a bit, they walked to the street to watch the parade. During this time, Megan was being constantly pelted with candy. After the parade, they walked around some more. They then came to a large area of bamboo with tags hanging from them.
"What's that?" KT asked. Yuki looked over before explaining.
"It's a tradition here. You write a wish on a tag and then hang it form a bamboo stalk. Supposedly, one wish is picket to come true with in the year."
"Sweet! I wanna hang one!" KT said
"Me too me too!" Megan said. Megan and KT ran, or at least tried to…can't run very well in a kimono, to the table where the paper was an wrote their wishes. The rest of the group also wrote wishes. They then walked to a stalk and hung their wishes. Then, KT and Megan stepped back to admire their handiwork and look at each other's wishes. Their eyes bulged.
"You!" They said in perfect unison, pointing at each other.
"Jinx! You owe me a soda!" they said in unison again. There was silence for a moment as they had a stare down.
"Copy cat!" Megan growled.
"Oh come on I want it as much as you do." KT said crossing her arms. Megan read their wishes from afar. "I wish for the curse to be broken" it read. They then returned to the others.
They idly lounged in a corner of the field waiting for the fireworks to start. Megan was crafting things from Origami and trying to teach KT. Just then, a familiar voice interrupted the pleasantries.
"What's up dumb and dumber." Tony chided
"Original. Did you come up with that one all by yourself?" Megan asked perfecting her little fortune teller.
"Shut up douche bag." Tony said.
"Its only fair to warn you that I am practiced in the ancient art of Origami." KT threatened.
"Paper folding?" Tony smirked.
"Hell yes! I'll paper cut your eyes!" KT yelled.
"Bring it on!" Tony taunted. Megan stood up and stomped in front of him. He had this way of easily getting under her skin.
"Out of my sight!" she yelled pointing in a random direction.
"It's no polite to point." He said calmly.
"Leave dumb ass!" Megan said giving Tony a slight shove.
"Make me!" he said before kicking Megan in the shin. Not hard but hard enough to cause some pain.
"Oww dammit!" Megan swore loudly.
"Tony, really, go away." KT said.
"I warn you I have a short temper today. I'm not takin' any crap from you!" Megan said, pushing Tony harder this time so that he almost fell.
"Shut up dum-dum!" Tony said pushing Megan back. Megan stumbled back.
"Hey! What's going on here?" a man asked, clearly concerned that a fight would break out. All would have been find if Megan hadn't tripped over the back of her kimono. She plummeted towards the ground.
"Whoa! Watch it!" the strange man said reaching out and catching Megan from behind. Megan's eyes widened as she fell into the man before there was a poof of blue smoke.
"Crap!" KT exclaimed as she watched the scene.
The smoke cleared. In Megan's place, stood a sea goat. The fur, which went from her head to ending just behind the elbow of her hooved legs, was dark blue. Where a goat's back legs would be, was now replaced by a long fish tail (think mermaid) with light blue scales. There was a dark blue beard grown from her chin like the ones growing from her elbows. She also had black horns emerging from her head
"Tony! I'm gonna kill you!" the angry sea goat yelled. The Sohma's watched in amazement as the sea goat, who only reached waist height of the 6'0" Tony, threatened him. Megan started to paw at the ground, like a bull, and prepared to charge at the snickering Tony. Or at least attempt to. You can't get very far with two legs and a large fish tale to haul around. KT then noticed that the man was still sitting there, shocked as ever. He sat there and stared in wonder at the half goat, half fish creature.
"What was-?" he began but the fireworks soon interrupted him. A little girl appeared suddenly and took the man's hand.
"Come on daddy! Mommy's looking for you!" she said, dragging the said father back to her mommy. KT then returned her attention back to Megan, who was about to launch herself at Tony. KT immediately took action and grabbed Megan by the horns (wow that reminds me of the Dodge truck slogan…). Megan thrashed her head as much as she could but KT had a strong grip.
"Oh come one KT! I'm in the perfect position for a crotch shot!" Megan yelled.
"Tony you BAKA!" KT yelled as she began to drag Megan by the horns towards the near woods so she could change.
"Tohru? Could you grab her cloths?" KT asked, struggling to drag Megan.
"Ah! Of course!" Tohru panicked before running for Megan's cloths.
KT had just succeeded in almost getting Megan past Tony when Megan made one final attempt. She swung her tail as hard as she could in an upward arc. It made contact with Tony's face and he stumbled back into Tohru who was just walking by him with Megan's cloths. Tohru shrieked as Tony crashed into her. There was an explosion of yellow smoke. When the smoke cleared, a lion stood there growling at Megan and KT. However, it was not a full grown lion. It was more like a cub. But it still had a large orange mane circling it's head.
"Take that you midget lion! Haha! That's right! You got bitch slapped! How do you like me now! You got owned!" Megan yelled before KT finally shoved her into the cover of the woods.
"I never did like you!" Tony yelled. He then picked up his cloths with his mouth and bounded off into the spotty darkness, which was being periodically lit up by the fireworks.
Within 10 minutes, Megan emerged fully clothed and in her human form. She returned to the group and went up to KT.
"Where is he?" Megan asked darkly.
"No where you need to know about." KT said putting her hands on her hips.
"I'm gonna kick him into next week!" Megan said, about to track down Tony.
"Oh no you're not!" KT said poking Megan in the spot where the neck connected to the collar bone. Megan was like Ritsu. She had this one spot, where if poked, she would calm down almost immediately. Megan screeched and flinched. But she was now calm. She calmly looked up at the fireworks for a moment before sitting with the others.
"You suck the fun out of everything." Megan said over the fireworks.
"I do not suck the fun out of everything!" KT declared.
"Funsucker!" Megan yelled with a smile.
"That guy is your friend?" Haru asked.
"I wouldn't say friend. He's more of…an acquaintance." Megan said. "JERK!"
"Well if it makes you feel better, I thought you were a cute sea goat." Momiji said. Megan chuckled.
"Awww! Look at the cute little sea goat!" KT said pinching Megan's cheek much like a grandma would. Megan laughed as she swatted KT's hands away.
Kinda a sucky ending I know. But that's cuz this is only the first half of the festival. The other half will be in the next chapter. If I put them both together it would go on forever. And plus I still have to totally write the second half. I know what I want to happen but I just have to convince my lazy ass to write it. Isn't tony a jerk? He always acts like that to me. But I usually do something back. Do any of u have any ideas on where akito could come in? I want him to come in again but I don't know where. Im thinking at the festival but im not sure. Oh yesterday I had a confetti accident. Confetti is fun. I should get that picture up of what KT and megan look like when we transform. Alas, if only I could have put glomping in wit sasuke….
