Authors Note: Hi! Thank you to the people who reviewed. I appreciate it.
You know what would be sweet? I think it would be cool if the unforgiveable curses exsisted from the hp books. When i got bored I'd just go around to random people at Wal-Mart, "Crucio!" lalalalala " Avada Kadavra!" THAT'D BE SWEET!
ok, ok, here we go.
Disclaimer: look back at chap 1.
Author's Note 2: This is going to confuse people so I'll just say it now. The chapters will rotate from Risa to Satoshi, then back to Risa then Satoshi again, so on. Ok?
...darn it
Author's Note...3 (heh heh...): Yes, this story goes by a first name basis. You're not gonna hear much of, "Hiwatari! blah blah Miss Harada with Niwa" ...get it? Sorry a friend -coughkaylacough- bugged me about that.
Chapter 2
The halls grew quiet as the last of the students rushed to their classes. This was Satoshi's free period. He didn't have to go to gym like all the other 9th graders.
He walked silently as the bell rang but there was loud footsteps behind him. Satoshi looked over his shoulder and saw Daisuke running toward him. As he passed Satoshi he waved and Satoshi waved back.
Satoshi looked around as he walked down the empty halls. He began to think. Had Risa been listening to Daisuke and him? She was looking at him. Satoshi sighed and shook his head, what a nosey girl, he said to himself. He gazed up at the clock on the wall and noticed he was five minutes late. He had to be at the office, because during his free period, he helped out around the school. He started to jog now to get there as fast as he could.
Looking at each side, he made sure no one was coming. Then, Satoshi hauled out a stack of 3 boxes to go to the teacher's lounge. I bet they're just donuts. he thought. Satoshi really didn't like the teachers that much, probly the funniest thing to do with them was prove them wrong with what they were teaching. That got him sent to the office though...
It was about 11 and the period had already been in session for 15 minutes.
He stared out the open windows. The sun was almost completly in the sky and a soft wind was blowing. It was a beautiful day out. "I wonder what Risa's class is doing in gym." Satoshi said quietly.
And what does it matter to you? a voice chuckled.
"It doesn't, Krad." he growled. "Daisuke and Riku are in that class too. I'm just curious."
Yes, but you specificly pointed out 'Risa's class' Krad said.
Satoshi was beginning to get annoyed. He decided to ignore the constant nagging that kept being whispered in his ear. As he turned down another hallway, the boxes began to slip and he had to stop for a moment to place them back. The wind suddenly blew and pushed some of Satoshi's blue hair on his face. Now trying to balance the boxes in his one hand and on a knee, hebrushed his hair out his face, then straightened his glasses.
He continued to walk, and began to hear a tapping noise. More footsteps. It's a kid going to the bathroom, he thought not stopping. But the footsteps got louder and louder. Now Satoshi stopped to see who it was but at that moment Risa flashed in front of him and fell. Of course with her brilliant poise, she fell on him, making him drop all of him boxes.
His eyes were wide, he didn't know what to do. He looked at her and she was sitting on him, on his waist to make it worse.
"S-S-Satoshi, I'm so so sorry." Risa said. Satoshi tried to get up but something stopped him. First a mocking laughter rang in his head, then his body began to burn all over. He began to think of the things he hated, Krad, Dark, his father, Takeshi, and the burning slowly faded.
"You're so clumsy." he laughed. The sensation was coming back again. Risa must have been able to tell there was something wrong because she shot up.
"Satoshi!" she snatched his arm and forced him into a sitting position. "Are you alright? Breath in and out. In, out, in out." Risa stared at Satoshi as he began to sway. She gasped and held him up. "Breath in, out, in, out, in-"
Risa had stopped because Satoshi put up his index finger. His head was on his chest and his glasses fell off and were in his lap. "Quiet." he said. For the next minute, all the two could hear was the wind and Satoshi's deep breathing.
Finally,his hand fell down to his side. Risa reached over, grabbed his glasses and handed them to Satoshi. She stood up and stacked the boxes for him, then ran off.
Satoshi sat there in silence. His breathing was uneven and his hair was still in his face.
Minutes later, he sat up, stacked the boxes and took them to the teacher's lounge. Satoshi didn't bother putting on his glasses, he just put them in his pocket and walked off.
Satoshi was first to class, as usual. He just stared around and wrote in his small notebook.
This went on until someone opened the door. It was Risa, which amazed him. She walked to the desk next to him, sat down, waved and laughed softly.
"Sorry about earlier." she apoligized. Satoshi only nodded and they went back to being quiet.
Why don't you just tell her to screw off? Go play with her sister and that damn boy. Krad insisted.
"Because some people arn't so heartless."Satoshi pointed out.
Heartless? How rude! How could I be heartless? All I've ever done was try to help you. Personally, I'm appalled. he scoffed, acting liked he was actually offended.
Satoshi had lost track of time, he was startled by the bell. The classroom was now full with students happily chattering to eachother. Suddenlly, the doorburst open with a large BAM!
The english teacher had stormed in. Satoshi, personally, didn't like this guy. He was big, burly and loud, always slamming things to get the student's attention. "I trust that you all read the next three chapters in our book and wrote a paragraph about how the genre influences the characters." a small whimper came from Satoshi's side, Risa hadn't done it.
After the teacher collected all the papers, he slammed about a dozen large books onto the front table. "You will gather with a partner, choose a skit and act it out for us by the end of the periods, understand?" Everyone nodded and grabbed a book.
The students scrambled around, looking for friends to group up with. Satoshi stared at Risa, she looked like she was at the point of tears. She just sat there, looking around, she didn't know what to do and didn't have a partner. Satoshi sighed and stood up. "Risa, would you like to be my partner?"
Satoshi couldn't tell who was quieter, Risa or everyone else watching. She nodded slowly and turned her desk to face his.
They were quiet for a little bit. "So, what do you reckoned we do?" Risa asked softly as they flipped through the pages.
"I don't know, let's see." They went through a few stories but neither of them they liked.
"Oh! How about this one." she exclaimed, pounding her finger on the page. Satoshi looked over at the story title.
"'Sisterly Love'?" he questioned. "But that's means that I would have to be a girl." This wasn't going to well.
"I'm sorry. If you don't want-"
"No, it's fine." why does she apologize so much? The two agreed that that's what they perform.
A half an hour later, the teacher found a large dictionary and dropped it on his table. "I do hope that you are all ready. If not, prepare for your grade to drop." everyone became dead silent. "Who would like to go first?" he said in a fake, kind voice. No one raised their hand. "No one? Truly? HARADA, HIWATARI, YOU'RE UP!"
They both slowly sat up and walked up front. There was a big box of props. They grabbed three blankets. Satoshi took two of them and wrapped one around his waist and made it look like a skirt. Then he took the second and wrapped it around his head. Risa stepped in front of him. "We will be performing a scene from 'Sisterly Love'"
The class blew up with noise. All the guys began to laugh, Satoshi heard Takeshi say "The main characters are two sisters. Satoshi's gonna be a girl." The girls were all giggling, which grew more annoying than the boys.
Everything started quiet. Satoshi and Risa sat on the floor. Then suddenly, Satoshi jumped up and shouted "How can you stand this?"
Risa slowly got up after him. "I-I...can't"
"Well, I'm not going to." Satoshi gripped the cloth around his head tighter. "They killed out father! Just because I'm a woman (all the guys sniggered) doesn't mean I'm not going to let those lousy men fight this war out for me!" he began to walk away when Risa stopped him.
"Wait." she looked down at her feet. Risa bent down and grabbed the last blanket, which was a quilt. "Be careful, please. Don't forget about me, sister."
Satoshi stared at her. Without anyone expecting it, Satoshi smirked and nodded. Everyone in the audiance gasped. "Did he just smile?" "How did she get him to do that?" people whispered.
"I won't." he said softly. Risa ran up to him and hugged him tightly. Satoshi's arms fell down to his sides with suprise.
"This wasn't part of the play." he whispered softy.
"I guess I got to much into character." she laughed quietly. Clapping burst out through the classroom.
"Wonderful." the teacher applauded. "I couldn't have done it better myself." The two bowed to the class, and then rushed back to their seats.
Daisuke and Takeshi began to laugh as Satoshi sat back down. Takeshi stood and began twirling around singing, "I feel pretty, oh so pretty." Daisuke punched him in the stomach but it was too late.
"You two boys, if you think it's so funny, you're next." They groaned as they sat up. Takeshi and Daisuke found helmets and sticks. Daisuke stood up in the front and shouted, "We will be doing a skit from a short story, 'Stop the Sun'"
They did the scene where the father was having a flashback about his horrible memories from Vietnam. Daisuke crawled on the floor, carrying the stick as a gun. Takeshi yelled at him to take cover, then acted like he got shot. Everyone began to laugh because he made funny noises and laid there, twitching where Daisuke acted like he was crying.
They got a good grade, except Takeshi got a few points off for the comedy scene.
The bell rang and everyone rushed out of the room.
Right before Satoshi walked out, Risa grabbed his shoulder. "Why don't you come have lunch with us?" Satoshi stared at her blankly. He was thinking that she was insane, didn't she know what would happen. Wait...no, she didn't. But how was he supposed to say no to her, her dreamy face was too attracting. He couldn't help and accidently screamed it.
"Sure!" Risa giggled and left Satoshi alone. Satoshi just stared at the ceiling, only to be yelled at by the teacher. He threw a small book at him and shouted, "Get to your next class, boy!" Satoshi rubbed the back of his head and left the room.
He began to think. Wow, Risa invited me to eat with her. But what about...No, Daisuke sits with her, her and Riku. It'll be fine. Satoshi nodded in approval.
Before realizing it, he made a huge mistake. As if someone just stuck a flamethrower at his stomach and shot it, a burning pain spread through him. KRAD! We're at school. Please, no. Satoshi tripped and fell. He tried to stand, only to be pushed back down.
Tsk tsk tsk, dear boy, don't keep under estimating me. Krad taunted. Because if you do, I will teach you a lesson, understand me?
Satoshi ignored Krad as his voice faded away, along with the pain. He snatched his bag and ran on to his next class. Was Krad really really being serious?
YAY! 2nd chapter done!
