The Life Of Kishiko Ishikawa
Hey, my name is Kishiko Ishikawa. School Loser of the year. Literally. Check the yearbook, it's there, three years running. Not really sure what I ever did to people, but that's people for you. I trudged down the hall, towards my locker. Balls of paper flew at my head, but I didn't flinch. It was expectant now. Suddenly, I saw a cricket ball flying in my direction. I swung round, and brought my leg up to deflect the ball. The side of my foot came in contact with the ball and it shot off in the other direction. I brought my leg down, just as shocked as the people around me.
"What the hell was that, freak girl?" I craned my neck, to make eye contact with the 'Queen Bee' Ayumi Mie. I shrugged,
"I dunno, and why the hell are you talking to me?" I muttered, turning back round to walk a few more steps to my locker, swiftly entering the combination. The date my father died. Ayumi shrieked,
"Oh my God, freak girl spoke to me! Oh no, I can smell her breath!" she cackled, along with her 'minions'. I furrowed my eyebrows. Even though I was used to it, it still always bugged me. I shoved my books inside my locker and grabbed my bag, slinging it over my shoulder. I slammed my locker shut, ignoring comments from people and walked out of the school. I knew eyes were on me, but I didn't know that one person had their eyes on me for a different reason. I sighed as my eyes scanned the street, looking at the different people. Some were humans, others were spirits. Yeah, I can see spirits. Ever since I was like, 3 or something. I sort of remember seeing my first spirit. It was only a small child. I saw it in an alleyway, crying its eyes out. That was the day before Dad had died.
~*FLASHBACK*~
I was clung to my Dad's back like a monkey, as he lightly stepped down the street. I yawned loudly, resting my head on Dad's, looking at the buildings. As we approached an alleyway, I heard somebody shrieking and crying. I tapped my Dad,
"Daddy, what's that noise?" I questioned. My Dad craned his neck, puzzled,
"The only the noises around here, love, are the cars that are passing through on the road," he spoke in a gentle voice that soothed me, as I sighed. As we approached the alleyway, I peered into it. Leaning against the wall, a small girl with medium black hair, her head buried into her knees, sobbing. I sniffled slightly,
"Daddy, why is that girl all alone crying?" when I said it, the little girl had looked up, to see my finger pointing in her direction, but when my Dad had followed my finger, his expression was even more puzzled,
"Honey, there's nobody there. What's wrong with you today?" he asked. I sighed as I closed my eyes,
"Sorry, Daddy...."
~*END FLASHBACK*~
I stared at my feet as I walked, deciding to cut through the park. I winced when I bumped against somebody,
"Hey, watch where you're... you're..." I backed up, stumbling over my own feet slightly as I stared up at the big monster, its face encased in a white mask, hiding its identity. Its big claws dug into the ground, its breath lingering on my face. I began to turn and run away, but it grabbed me and slowly brought his monsterous claw to his mouth. I tried to scream, but my throat felt dry, and my stomach dropped.
Suddenly, a heat swelled up inside me, and I was separated from my body.
TBC.
