Ch. 4 One too many pills
The dorm room was oddly quietly tonight, but I still couldn't sleep. I guess my body got used to staying up so late and being sleep deprived. Aren't I just lucky? Don't answer that… On the bright side I get to go back to my classes tomorrow. Oh, great I haven't even done the homework that was due yesterday let alone started on what I missed today.
Well, I suppose I should take the sleeping pills the doctor had given me just a few hours ago. I turned towards the nightstand and caught sight of Asami fast asleep with mini-Takuma in her arms. I felt a bit of pity for the plush as she squeezed the life out of it. Now I know I said this before but I'm seriously really bad at sewing. That's precisely why as Asami clutched tighter onto the plush the seams holding the head onto the poorly sewn body came undone.
Mini-Takuma's decapitated head landed on the floor with a thud and rolled beside the nightstand. Suddenly, I knew what my next plot for revenge was. I creep out of bed not caring how much noise I made since Asami was a heavy sleeper. I grabbed mini-Takuma's head and grabbed a couple of things from my school bag that was by my bedside. Holding the items close to my chest, I sprinted towards Asami's wardrobe which was on the opposite end of the room.
Inside her wardrobe, Asami has a small jewelry box. I stuck a pencil through the opening at the bottom and stuck the head into where you usually place rings. On the piece of notebook paper that I'd gotten from my bag I wrote some stuff down and quickly placed it by the head. I shut the wardrobe's door and made my way back into my still warm bed. I reached for the pill bottle on the nightstand along with the bottle of water. Now the doctor told me to only take one but come on what harm could two pills make?
My body curled into its favored position under the covers as I waited for sleep to finally take over. Well, the pill usually takes a while to take effect so I might as well tell you about my day. It wasn't that exciting unless you consider sleeping all day exciting. The nurse checked on me every once in a while until the doctor came. He did the usual examination and started to question me about my health and other stuff.
So guess what I'm not actually anemic because my health decline was due to the fact of my bad sleeping habits. The doctor, whose name I honestly don't remember, prescribed me some sleeping medication. I'm pretty sure I passed out again after he left and slept until lunchtime. Aito, an angel in disguise, woke me up and brought me something to eat. I heard a knock on the door and expected it to be Asami ready to hug me into a coma.
But instead of seeing a familiar blonde head I saw Yuuki come through the door. She seemed relieved once she saw that I was okay and stepped fully into the room. I'm not going to lie I was kind of bummed that my only friend here hadn't visited me all day. But I wasn't about to be all miss doom and gloom when Yuuki was nice enough to visit me.
"Hey Yuuki thanks for helping me last night," I have here a slight smile. What I'm not exactly Sally Sunshine.
"Oh, it's not a problem I just came to make sure you were okay," She sat into the vacant chair that my best friend usually occupied.
She seemed kind of spaced out since she came in and it was pretty obvious that something was wrong. It probably wasn't my business and the two of us aren't exactly buddies, so I just stayed silent for a while. With every tick of the clock I cringed and silently pleaded that she'd start a conversion. Another minute of silence and I was close to exploding.
With a reluctant sigh I asked her, "So is anything wrong? I mean we're not really close but you know…." Wow, aren't I the conversationalist.
She seemed like she wanted to reveal her problem, but something was keeping her from doing so. Maybe it was the whole Night-class-are-vampires thing and she had no way of confiding in anyone. I mean she was a prefect so she must know about the Night class. Plus the conversation she had yesterday with Yagari-sensei, that I overheard, kind of proves my theory. Wow, look at me I could be the next Sherlock Holmes.
"I'm sure the Chairman told you already, but I know about the Night class," I gave her a small smile and continued. "and I'm not Asami so if you do tell me the whole school won't know in a matter of seconds."
"The chairman did tell us about that and this isn't something you should worry about," she got up off the chair and fixed her school uniform.
"Well, if you're sure," Geez, what's wrong with me today.
With a quick 'get well soon' Yuuki scurried out of the room before I could question her anymore. After that I went back to sleeping till the Day classes ended then I was told I was well enough to leave. Asami showed up a few minutes afterward and she dragged me –unwillingly- to see the Night class as always. She's so understandings sometimes. I caught a glimpse of Yuuki, but she was as spaced out as before.
I stifled a yawn and burrowed myself deeper into my little nest of blankets and covers. My whole body relaxed as sleep finally overtook me. Finally after so many nights of little to no sleep I could rest soundly. I let out a tiny sigh and finally fell into a deep, tranquil sleep.
~o~
I started out running through the aisles of a store but somehow I ended up running alongside Asami through the deserted streets of some place I didn't know. That wasn't the strange part though actually it was ok compared to what the two of us were wearing. We both like what I called 'the easy girls', which were a group of girls at my old school that dressed in a very …suggestive way. Mimi had on a purple tank top with red flames along the bottom that stopped just a bit below her breasts. The black shorts she had on at least covered her butt and the thigh high red boots covered her legs.
The boots also had purple flames probably to coordinate with the shirt or something. I don't know I'm not the one who's into fashion. I shouldn't be complaining since I had even less clothing on. Whoever designed what I was wearing was out of their perverted little mind. (A/n: and here's a shout out to the pervert in my English class who designed the outfit! Kudos to you!) Unlike Asami who actually had a shirt own I only had a black bikini top with a stencil-like red butterfly pattern to cover my torso.
I was wearing the same style of shorts as Asami was; except mine were red and I had a simple black belt on. I'll admit that I liked the combat boots I had on, but those along with the fishnet gloves was all I liked. I mean come on I was practically naked! As my older cousin Haru would say, it left nothing to the imagination. Well, anyway enough of the ranting I've seen worse.
We'd stopped by a cherry blossom tree for some reason, maybe to rest or something. Asami was talking into a weird walkie-talkie thing and she'd never looked this serious in her life. I was kind of shocked not to see her jumping around and being her happy, not a care in the world self. Out of nowhere a woman fell out of the tree onto Asami. I recognized her without even having to think about it; it was my mom. What in the world was she doing up there?
"Oh, hey I was looking for the bathroom but got lost could you tell me where to go?" She didn't even look at me; she looked pointedly at Asami till she answered.
"Oh, sure. From here you take a right on Pineapple drive and then another right on Takuma Street and you just follow the signs after that," Asami answered with a nonchalant look on her face like my mom hadn't just fallen on her out of nowhere.
Then get this my mom hugged her and started towards what I believed was Pineapple Street. Once my mother's silhouette disappeared, I turned to look at Asami once more and noticed that she was now smiling all the seriousness from before gone. Wow, maybe I am losing it. She started to mumble a lot of incoherent words and moved her hands making strange signals. Suddenly, a cloud of smoke appeared and cleared to reveal Asami holding a huge bazooka.
"Wait a second before anything else happens I want to know why in the world there's a street named after Takuma-senpai?" I practically yelled at my very odd best friend.
She gave me an odd look before answering, "Don't you remember how we both petitioned for it after I gave birth to little Takuma last year. How can you forget how we along with half the town paraded through the streets naked until they changed the name of the street?"
Well, this couldn't get stranger. Then again you never really know anymore, especially with Asami around. I heard a loud thunk behind us and hoped I didn't just jinx us. We both turned at the same time and our eyes met quite a creepy sight. It was the Night class, except they weren't quite right.
~O~
The alarm clock started to make that annoying beeping sound, which I hated with all my being, again. Meaning that it was probably time to stop hitting the snooze button and actually get up. I finally shut the dang thing up by throwing it against one of the walls. Oops, Kaya isn't going to be happy when she finds out about this. Oh, well she'll end up forgiving me anyways. Yup, those are the perks of being one of her only friends …don't tell her I said that.
I tried to figure out a way to get out of bed with little effort and finally came up with rolling out of bed. Well, when my head hit the nightstand it finally woke me up so I guess the plan wasn't a total failure. Now, how to get out of these tangled sheets? Any ideas? Guess not… I guess I should wake up Kaya then.
It's so strange seeing her asleep. She usually wakes me up so I don't have to use the beeping demon. I proceeded to poke her several times in the rib cage, but it was to no avail. I got on top of the bed and started jumping and even kicked her a few times by 'accident'. She only moaned a little and burrowed herself further into her fluffy covers.
~o~
The night class had sharp talons and claws along with some bat-like wings. The kind of reminded me of how the vampires in the movie Van Hellsing, especially the way they moved and flew through the air. All of a sudden Asami started shooting bursts of bright light out of the bazooka aiming it at the vampires above us. The deformed night class also started to attack except they did it in a slightly different way. Each of them took a watermelon from who knows where and started spitting the seeds at us as if they were bullets.
Some of the seed bullets hit my rib cage, but they were pretty much harmless. While I was distracted, one of the females swooped down and landed in front of me gracefully. She resembled that weird, blonde girl, whom always looked like someone shoved a stick up from butt. She even wore that look now. She grabbed me by my belt, since obviously grabbing me by my bikini top wasn't a bright idea, and started to swing me up and down.
The blonde demon sent me flying into the air and kicked me several times. I felt dizzy and ready to puke to my heart's content until Asami came to the rescue. Wait; let me say it again because I probably never say it a third time. Asami, the girl who tried to fly using an umbrella, has come to rescue me. Hold on, I'm still processing this.
"Kaya, what do you think you're doing? Why don't you call up your weapon? Are you stupid or something?'' Asami didn't even pause, she shoot the girl with the bazooka. Her skin started to disintegrate till there was nothing left of her.
I stared in shook at the place where the vampires once stood. Asami continued to shoot some more of them, completely ignoring my pity form that was still on the concrete ground.
"I shall slay these demons and ferry them to hell," I muttered without my consent. Okay, I get I'll stop watching Hell Girl during World History class.
~o~
I took a quick glance and noticed that I only had ten minutes to get dressed and somehow wake up sleeping beauty over here. I quickly changed into my uniform and brushed my short blonde hair and pulled some of my bangs out of my face with my favorite red bow. I jumped on top of Kaya again, but this time I started to shake her hoping that it would wake her up. It seemed to start working because she started to mumble stuff.
"Evil bats from hell…Pineapple Street…Takuma is major…" kaya continued to blurt out things that didn't make since at all.
~o ~
Similar to what happened to Asami, a cloud of red smoke appeared after I finished saying those disturbing words. Once the smoke cleared, I could see the katana in my hand. It was unsheathed, so the red dragon printed on the metal could be seen. Its tail made up the hilt and added a morbid touch to the sword. I swung it a few times and to my surprise it also shot the same light as Asami's weapon.
With a sly grin on my face, I started swinging the beautiful sword like a madwoman. Hey, a girl's got to have her fun. With Asami at my side, we managed to defeat all of the Night class. Asami's bazooka and my katana disappeared to wherever magical, vampire destroying weapons go. We both sat on the curb of the street and looked at the setting sun in the distance.
"those evil bats from hell will never take over our precious Pineapple street as long as we're here and as long as Takuma is mayor," I stated proudly as all of this started to fade away.
~o~
Finally, she opened her eyes and blinked several times so she could adjust to the light. After a few seconds she finally noticed that I was above her and kicked me off the bed. Oh, look a reunion me and the floor meet again! She started ranting to herself about pills and safety precautions while she got ready. We were almost out the door when I remembered that I hadn't put on my lucky necklace.
"Come on, Asami! We don't have time for this we're going to be late again," Kaya yelled from outside the dorm.
I rushed to my wardrobe and let out a shriek when I saw what was inside. My baby, my poor, defenseless baby had been beheaded and his head was lying in my open jewelry box with a devious note beside it. The note read:
Your next fangirl
I heard Kaya start laughing as she peeked into the room to see my freaked out self. She cleverly began to run and was out the building in a matter of minutes. I quickly grabbed my school bag and rushed after my soon-to-be-dead friend. Well, I'll get her back later anyways.
A/N: okay this is just a filler so sorry. I just wanted to inform you all who are reading this that I'll be gone for 6 to 7 weeks so I probably won't be able to update as soon as I thought I would. Goodbye, loyal readers!
