Hey! Thanks to reviewers! This chapter isn't very long, and not quite as funny, but it's leading up to some better chapters. Next chap is the art room consequences and maybe the start of Rain's announcement. I can't think of much more to say, so on to the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I don't own beyblade or its characters.
Char-acters. If the "acters" part was spelt "actors", it would be like people were acting as a fish! Heh.
The Random Nonsense of Rain Kisuki
Chapter 9: I Scheme, You Scheme, We All Scheme for Ice Cream!
My dad is back from a business trip. And let's just say he isn't that happy to be back.
You see…While he was away for four days I: skipped school, got the principal sent to an insane asylum, got caught in a closet making out with Kai, humiliated and permanently scarred the vice principal, disrupted other students learning, and drew disturbing images. And most recently made the art room into a playroom.
The principal matter shouldn't get me in trouble though, cause Kai is the only one who knows.
Now, my dad always has reasons to be mad at, but now they're good enough to ground me over. I can't go anywhere over the weekend. Or after school.
I just have to scrapbook though, and I need to get ice cream with Kai.
The plan is to sweeten up my parents to get what I want. This is a very new approach to me. Normally I use temper tantrums. But after this taxing week, I won't be able to make it if I don't get ice cream into me. I slithered out of bed at six o'clock.
After showering, I made broken eggs with shells stuck in them, burnt pancakes, burnt toast, shriveled up bacon, and I picked out some fruit.
I set up the shower-like spray thing and tried to turn on the sink to wash the fruit, but it wouldn't work. Mom said there was a switch somewhere…
I sighed and brought them upstairs, where I washed them in the sink. I walked over to the stairs, only to trip on a roller skate I'd left out.
Luckily, I fell before I reached the stairs. However, the fruit was not as lucky. They rolled and bounced down the stairs. I sighed, got up, and went down the stairs.
I noticed a small switch behind the couch while I picked up the deformed fruit. It was labeled "water". I glared at it.
I turned on the switch to the water, forgetting that I left the shower head-on-a-hose on. It sprang to life and sprayed all over the kitchen. I switched off the switch, walked over and turned the thing off, before turning the water on again.
I washed the fruit again. So they're bruised. Damnit It sucks to be me. But I compromised by arranging them in a bowl so the bruises wouldn't show as much.
I went to the fridge and looked for juice. No juice? I looked in the fruit drawer and saw oodles of oranges. Oodles. Heh. I picked up a few and put them on the counter.
After three minutes of searching for a juicer with no luck, I settled on a blender. I looked at the oranges. Dad likes pulp in his orange juice.
What exactly is the pulp? They mix the juice thoroughly, but it still has pieces. Oh! It must be the peelings then. I'll just leave them on the oranges!
I poured some water into the blender and threw a few oranges in. After I minute or so I turned it off and pulled off the top. There were chunks! And look at that vibrant color! I think I've outdone myself.
I decided to have milk instead, because even though I knew the juice would be great, I hate pulp. I can be very generous at times. I made the juice with my family in mind.
I made coffee for my father. I decided that because coffee puts him in a good mood, I'd add extra coffee powder to it. It smells yummy, but I'm more of a hot chocolate person.
I set out maple syrup and butter and put four plates on the table.
I put my milk next to my plate and put the juice in a pitcher. I set out my dad's favorite coffee cup, but didn't fill it so it would stay warm.
I washed my hands before returning to my room. There I got dressed in the outfit Lore had tried to make me wear, and sent Tala a text telling him to bring me clothes to change into for school once I left my house.
I'm gonna freakin' wow my parents today! I grabbed my book bag, stuffed in some books to make me seem studious, and went back downstairs. I heard some rustling and talking upstairs. I heard my brother moan and new our parents had waked him up.
"Mmm…what's that smell?" I heard my mom say.
"You were both asleep, so who-?" I heard my father say as he rounded the corner and entered the kitchen. They stared from me to the table, back and forth, over and over.
"Morning!" I said happily.
"R-r-r-Rain!?" asked Lore. He rushed over to my side. He put one hand to me forehead and the other to his own. "You don't seem to have a fever. Goodness! Where does it hurt? Or is this from mental stress? Have you been acting up because Dad's been gone!? He loves you Rain! He's only working so much so you can live well!"
"Rain? Do you want you're father to take the next few days off? You can spend time with him. Or, do you want to go shopping with me!? I think you could do with a nice dress for the Junior Prom. I know it's far away but…" And here I was thinking no one cared. They're worried sick.
"Do you all really think I'm so bad that I'm suffering if I do something nice? I just wanted to make breakfast as an apology. I know I'm a handful, but I'm trying to get better," I lied through my teeth. My father sighed and put a hand on my shoulder.
"You want to go on a date with that boy?" he asked calmly, but he was squeezing my shoulder tightly.
"Huh? What the he–I mean, uhh, who might you be speaking of?" I made a quick save.
"The boy from last night," reminded my father.
"Boy!? What boy!? Oh my goodness! My little Rain is becoming a woman. Oh! Let's go get you some lingerie this weekend! Oh this is just wonderful! There's a boy out there who actually wants the horrid daughter of mine!" she looked like she would overload from happiness. What the f*ck does she mean!? I'm not horrid. I may be a b*tch, but I wouldn't describe myself as horrid.
"That's not a boy, Dad. Well, he is. But he's…you know: Kai. He doesn't count!" Ding-dong! Whew! What timing.
"I wonder who it could be so early," said my mother rushing to get the door. I heard a shout of "Oh my!" from the front door. I heard her fussing over someone shuffling him towards the kitchen. She was guiding him into the room. Crap! Why, of all the people in the world!? Why Kai?
"K-Kai! H-Hey. What are you doing her so early? He looked at me, smirked a little at my outfit, and then looked at the table. He stared at the food.
"Oh! Sweety. Kai, dear. Why don't you join us for breakfast! Rain got up early and made it and.…Oh! Rain!" she looked at me with tears of happiness in her eyes. "Did you make all this for your boyfriend!? He must want our permission to date you, then! What a gentleman. And he's so handsome!"
"No! Mom! Kai isn't my boyfriend! I was trying to tell you earlier. He's just Kai! He doesn't really count as a guy, you know? He's just Kai," I repeated.
"E-Excuse me? I don't count as a guy!?" Kai asked, pretending to be mad. But I could tell he was trying not to laugh.
"Well, that's not what I mean! You know?" I struggled.
"No, Rain. I don't know. I just don't know anything about you recently," he sighed melodramatically. That jerk. A small smile tried to make its way onto my face.
"What are you trying to say!?" I asked him, faking anger.
"I mean, that orange juice has peelings in it!" he said, changing the mood as he started to laugh.
"It's pulp!" I protested.
"No it's n-not! Haha!" he struggled. "Your insane! They leave pieces of orange in the juice you get from stores. You aren't supposed to eat the peeling on oranges. If someone drank that, they'd probably throw up!" He explained. I formed a small "o" with my lips. I giggled a little.
"You burnt everything, you know?" he noticed.
"I didn't burn the fruit," I pointed out. He lifted up a pair and turned it. He raised an eyebrow.
"But you bruised it rather thoroughly. It looks burnt. How many times can you possibly of dropped it?"
"Once," was my reply.
"Yeah right!" he said sarcastically. "Then why is it covered in bruises?"
"Because when I dropped it went down the stairs…" I mumbled.
"You pushed the poor defenseless pear down the stairs?" Poor pear!? More like poor me!
"It was an accident! I went through so much trouble to get it cleaned! Even if it's bruised it took me so much effort to get it clean!" I was close to tears.
"Shh…it's just a pear. Why are you making such a big deal?" he attempted to sooth me, but his voice was still a bit harsh. I explained the entire process of my making breakfast. By the time I finished, even my father was laughing.
"You're gonna make a horrible housewife!" laughed Kai.
"Housewife!? You're sh*tting me! I'm gonna be a race car driver, a wrestler, Spider Woman, and ruler of the world! I have no time for being a house wife!"
"Rain! How dare you speak like that! What will your boyfriend think of you!?" shrieked my mother. Oh. Whoops. Hey!
"He's not my boyfriend!"
"Oh yeah! Rain, you're not going to eat that sh–I mean burnt food, right?"
"It's not burnt. It's medium-well done!" Kai shook his head in disbelief, but decided to leave it at that.
"I'll help you clear it up, and then we can go out for breakfast. I'll take you to school today," Kai offered. I nodded happily and started clearing the table. Kai started to help, but paused.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Hiwatari Kai. It's pleasure to meet you," he said. I like his introduction from school better. He shook hands with my father and kissed my mother's hand.
"I still have my doubts, but a man with a firm handshake has a better chance at getting my permission to date my daughter than that Tala boy. He tried to give me a high five…" said my father.
"Oh, Anthony," sighed my mother, slapping his shoulder playfully. She turned toward Kai. "You have our blessings! If things get serious between you two, you better buy top-of-the-line protection!" First lingerie, now this! What's wrong with her!? I rushed Kai, and we had everything done in less than five minutes. As we walked out the door I heard a spitting sound and some gagging.
"What kind of coffee is this!?" I heard my disgusted father. Kai laughed as he picked up my bag and opened the door for me. I walked out and ran to the car. I complimented it, hugged it, and asked it how it slept. Kai gave me a look that looked like a cross between annoyance and amusement. He shook his head again when I said my bed had been checking out his car from the window.
"I can't believe you thought that pulp is made of peelings," he said as he got into the car. I went around and got in the seat.
"Shut it!" I snapped, blushing again. I shut the passenger door behind me and buckled.
"What do you want do you want for breakfast?" he asked calmly.
" Boston cream. Or glazed. Oh! Or chocolate with sprinkles. And maybe hot chocolate!"
"I said I'd take you out to eat! Not to Dunkin Donuts!" he sighed, "I saw a nice diner about a mile down. We can go there." I nodded. That was the best diner in the area. Cheap and yummy. After a few seconds of silence I turned on the radio and blasted some music. Kai winced.
"Are you trying to make me deaf!?" he asked angrily. I grinned and pointed to my ears.
"I can't hear you!" I shouted over the music.
"Turn the volume down!" he shouted back. What was that? Something about the volume. Ah! I love this song! Kai must like it too. I bet he was telling me to turn it up! I turned the volume even higher. Oh! We're here.
"Damnit!" Kai shouted just after I shut off the music. I smiled a little. Old people were yelling at Kai for his inappropriate.
"Youngsters just do whatever they want these days! That boy was yelling at his poor girlfriend!" I heard a man yell.
"That girl is Rain Kisuki! She has a wonderful family, but she's a prankster. Her brother turned out great, but…Well, I can't blame the boy. Bless him for trying," said some old lady.
"Ugly old bag!" I growled under my breath. Kai smiled a little and got out of the car. He locked my bag in the trunk so he didn't have to put the top down on the beautiful car.
"Oh yeah! Kai I need you to do me a favor after school," I said.
"Like what?" asked Kai. Rain -scheming to get ice cream and start scrapbooking- out!
