Countdown in Business
Chapter 5
Already in Trouble?!
Natsuki stirred in her sleep and suddenly she heard a loud ring sound.
RING!!
RING!!
RING!!
The ringing sound echoed throughout her room to the point that it awoken her from her slumber.
Whoever that is I'm gonna KILL them!! How dare they TRY to wake me up?! Natsuki thought with obvious rage building up. However it was only when she looked and looked and could not the source of her annoyance did she realize that the fearless warrior that dared to challenge her was not a human, an animal, or even a living thing but it was, the object that held the hatred of all who goes to school, clocks, for Natsuki now, her clock. Even if it was an object it would not be able to defy Natsuki without being punished though, unfortunately its punishment was the end of its pitiful life, pitiful because it had Natsuki as an owner, for Natsuki seized it and it was smashed down on the floor. May that pitiful clock rest in pieces. After that the raven hair girl looked out the window to see that it was still early and the sun has not even rose up in the sky to claim its rightful place yet so she returned to her peaceful slumber.
A few hours later another dared to intrude in on the ice princess's slumber, the sun rose up high in the sky almost as if it was taunting Natsuki. Half conscious at the time Natsuki panicked and was jumping from place to place around her room trying to dress herself, brush her teeth, and gather her school materials all at once but then it dawn on her. She suddenly remembered her plan and thought that a tardy or two would help so she slowed down, actually she went back to sleep for about thirty more minutes then, woke up and got ready for school or what's left of it. As she left her mansion she notice
that like usual her father had already left for work and her maids and butlers were like always, fawning over her every action. She ignored them all, put on her helmet, and got on her motorcycle, a Ducati 1098, the newest model of sport bikes this year that was voted bike of the year in an Italian Magazine called, "MOTOCICLISMO". It was one of her favorites; her father bought it for her not long ago. Revving her bike she took off to school, not that she was in a rush or anything but she just loved speed.
As Natsuki arrived at the school, Fuka Academy, she made a sharp turn and stopped inches in front of a statue near the school gate. Slowing, because there was no need to rush, she parked her bike and took off her blue helmet that had the imprint of a silver wolf on its side revealing her face and her raven hair fell down captivatingly, though it was unknown to the girl herself, all the other students noticed it. After getting off her bike she walked towards the school building ignoring all the other students, mainly because she was used to the same treatment from her maids and butlers. However, on the inside, by no means was she not annoyed, even if she had an indifferent façade on her, anyone would be annoyed if not pissed off if everyone was staring at you.
What the hell?! I'm not an exhibit or anything! Haven't anyone told them it's rude to stare?! I mean… AHHH!!
Natsuki's thoughts were cut off by a loud voice, a voice loud enough to make her deaf, and its owner who pulled Natsuki by the collar and started yelling and screaming incoherent things. At first Natsuki tried to struggle but then it hit her.
I bet she's one of those goody-two-shoes that can't even stand it If someone's late! If I just let her take me wherever then I'll get in trouble! If I get in trouble then that would scare the heck out of most people! YES! If they're scare they won't approach me! Ok, it decided I'll be this loudmouth blond take me wherever.
Haruka was dragging a delinquent who was late to school to the student council office when all of that student's struggling stopped and she seemed to be willing to go with Haruka. That surprised Haruka and made her think if that student was really bad after all or not, so as she arrived at the door of the student council room she let the girl go and opened the door, even though normally in the past she had to hold on the students she caught she somehow trusted this one a little. Natsuki did as Haruka expected, she stood there waiting for her 'punishment'. A smile was tugging Natsuki's lips fighting for appearance but Natsuki wouldn't let it lose no matter what, she was determined to play the tough biker delinquent card.
Haruka, after she removed her attention from the raven hair girl, turned her attention to another red hair delinquent that was sleeping without a care in the world. This, of course, angered the simple minded Haruka.
"Hey! You little vixen wake up!"
The poor little red head wasn't expecting anyone to wake her up never less a booming voice, so she shot up and responded to the voice with a solute directed to the commanding voice that woke her. Natsuki heard the loud noise inside the room and peaked in to see what was happening. Obviously, that was a bad choice, because Natsuki had just undertaken a fierce battle with a certain smile and had not regenerated her defenses and so she was wide opens for an attack. Unfortunately, fate or even the gods did not take mercy on little Natsuki or that red head. Therefore, when Natsuki saw her favorite little red head pull such a stunt she burst out laughing, unable to control herself.
"Ha ha… Nao I …. Can't believe… ha ha… wow! Ha ha…!!" Natsuki tried to say something understandable but she couldn't, at least not now in between laughs she couldn't. Sadly for our little biker she was on the verge of tears, she couldn't stop laugh, she laughed so hard she almost cried!
