Woot! It's me again! Sorry this took so long to post...I don't even know if I posted it right! Have yet to find you. If so...please tell me. I feel like a noob again. Used to write so long ago, I don't remember all the crappy rules/guidelines and all that nonsense! Hope you enjoy reading though :3
It was only 9:00 P.M, the night was young and Misao was still lying on her bed pondering. She was with her eyes closed and she was hugging her Lolita plushie bunny. It was an old toy she had since she was a child; it was nice to cuddle with, blood red and has black buttons as eyes. She had to do her homework shortly, and both of her overworked parents would arrive soon. She had really prepared dinner for them already but it wasn't anything special. It was last of the fried tilapia and measly rice leftovers that was heated up. Her parents had just arrived and called out.
"Misao, we're home.", her mom spoke "Are you here?"
"Yes mother.", she replied as she greeted both her parents with a hug.
" I have dinner set with some green tea for you…How was work today?" Hopefully okay…
"It was the usual, heavy work and getting mistreated…I-…I-I'm just getting sick of working there…"; she said all sodden like. She had dark patches under her eyes and her smile was just there so that it would mask her face.
Mom… that's because you said that you're boss tried to abuse you and since you didn't let him he treats you like a dog. He exploits you so much, you're barley alive when you get home…
"How about you Dad?"
"Business wasn't that bad today, didn't make as much sales though. Competition between other businesses is getting more complicated each day, but we'll keep on fighting and working diligently", her father replied boldly full of optimism.
Heh…Dad. You never worry, or try to show anything. When do you ever? Eat your food! The both of you, it's getting cold already. And making me see it is making me hungry…again. If only you knew there wasn't enough for me; then you would make me eat the whole entire table and everything on it.
"Misao? Did you get all you're work and studies done?"
"Yes, did everything before you arrived"
"Did you meet any cute boys today?"
"Yeea-NO!What I mean to say is that I came across an old friend again!" STUPID! You almost actually almost said "Yes"
"Well, all I know is that he's a boy. Do I know him?" , she said with a interrogational tone.
What do I say! I can't say anything! AH! " His name is Kyo, and he was a kid I used to spend a lot of time with."
"Ah…I see. So this would explain the whole flowers by our door"
"Flowers?" Is he insane! Bringing me flowers! Next thing you know he'll be popping out of my closet in the middle of the night without telling me!
" Look, beautiful, red Chrysanthemums…They look freshly cut", she sighed.
"Looks like my little girl has the boys running after her", she chuckled slightly.
"Mom! Stop!" You always embarrass me like this!
"Misao. Misao…I'm only teasing" "I'll do the dishes for you today, and no arguing with me…Got it?" "Also…Take those flowers and put them into a vase. And thank the person who gave them to you."
"Got it"
This is why I need that job, so they don't have to work as much. Now…I just have to hide it from them and tell them that it's a night part time job that's in a store…or something. That…and I have to tell my friends that I have to bail on our plans. Today is Thursday…so tomorrow Friday night I'll work for the first time alone with Tuesdays and Sundays. Saturday would be a good day to make things up.
Misao went up to her room and slowly changed as she thought about her tomorrow. She was now in her
Comfy gray sweatpants and summer black camisole. She snuggled under her covers, grabbed Mr. Happy (her bunny plushie) and was about to close her eyes until…
"Tap…Tap…TAP" it's only the rain Misao…Ignore it, Completely ignore it.
"Scrish…Scrish…" [suck at onomatopoeia]
"What the hell?" oh no…please don't tell me…I have to look now…Oh man
It was a black cat with yellow-green eyes that glowed in the dark. She opened the door to her porch and scratched the cat's ears gently and let it sit on her mat on the floor.
"What do you want…Hmm? I don't have any food"
"Moew-ff…Moew-ff"
"What a weird mew from a cat…Well look cat, I'll leave the door open so you can leave by morning okay? You can't sleep on my bed…" Misao you are talking to a cat…I don't think it will understand…
The cat just laid on top pf her mat; he curled up at once and fell to sleep before it gave its last weird meow.
Misao went to her porch and checked the night for the last time. She admired the stars and the glowing moon that lit the darkness; even it the rain damped her hair a bit. However, the mushi were at it again and annoying her tranquil night of solitude.
Ah…what a beautiful, cool night…so peacefully quiet. What the hell? STOP ANNOYING ME.
" Great…you things again?", said Misao as she stared at the creatures that were bothering her .
"Can't you leave me alone just for one day? One freaking day is all I'm asking for…Because of you I-"
What are they doing! They're trying to push me off the porch! I have to get my balance and pull back!
"hehehe…But we want the princess to fall down! down! down! HEHEHEHEHE!"
Misao was now in serious trouble. She couldn't hold them off like the usual times, they were holding her legs and pulling her up and pulling her forward to the edge of the porch. Some were even clawing into her arms to get a better grip. She couldn't even scream because they were covering her mouth. She thought she was going to die at that precise moment, until she was gently placed onto the ground by warm hands around her waist.
"Misao…Are you okay?", Kyo said.
"It's okay now…It's okay…"
"Kyo?"
"But…How can you see them and…I'm on the second floor and -", Misao said until she was cut off.
"That doesn't matter, just managed to save you on time…" That's all that matters to me…
" So I'm not the only one that can see them?"
"No. I can see them well and clearly as they see you"
"You have scratches on your arms" I wish I could heal them as of right now…But it's too early to remind you of the truth again.
"So that was my stinging pain…I'll go get something to disinfected it and then put bandages over them."
"Umm…and Kyo, thanks for rescuing me…"
Don't you dare turn any shade of red. Just thank him for the flowers too!
"Thanks for the flowers too…They were pretty"
"I'm happy that you liked them. I got them from my garden this afternoon, freshly picked out just for you"
"Next time…or any day that you have problems with these creatures, just tell me okay? Otherwise the situation can happen again and I won't be able to come help you again."
If only you knew the trouble you are about to get into tomorrow…as soon as your turn sixteen, the gates are open for all of us to come after you.
"Are you dumbfounded? Cat caught your tongue?"
"Neh…no. I'm just very tired…I'm zoning out and still a bit in shock from what just happened…"
I'm so tired…it's about 11? 12? My mind can't focus anymore…and it feels as though I'm about to crash.
"Ah, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. You should have told me sooner…Can you walk straight to your bed?"
3...2...1
"Of course I can, just let me-" oh no…can…take it…must…sleep…
Misao had just lean towards the door and almost fell trying to get to her door step. Sure enough she would be bashful tomorrow about her moment of passing out in front of a guy whom she liked, but she was dead tired. Kyo with arms, picked her up bridal style and took her into bed. As she was in deep sleep still, he licked the wounds she had and tucked her in softly between her sheets. Kyo, not being able to resist gave her a kiss on the forehead and stayed at a close proximity near her lips and felt her breathe.
"Misao…I'll be here for you, whether you hate me afterwards or not…"
"Goodnight Misao…Sweet dreams…for tomorrow your world will start to change more…"
