That Which Cannot Be Seen

'Thinking'

"Talking"

Other

"Tsubaki! Tsubaki!" A voice yells.

"Tsubaki time to get up!" The voice yells again. Mom.

"Come on Tsubaki get up, you don't want to be late on your first day."

"Yes I do." I mumble under my breath. Continuing to lie under the warm blankets - I am not a morning person.

"Young lady! Get out of bed this moment!" My dad yells as he stomps into the room and flings off my blankets. 'God am I glad I am wearing pants'.

"I am going to brush my teeth and if you are not up by the time I come back I will drag you from bed by your feet." He yells and stomps off. He's not a morning person either.

I groan wishing I didn't have to go to school because as soon as I step out the door I will be accosted by yokai. I sigh, get dressed and go down stairs for breakfast.

"Honey come on, smile you're going to make lots of friends, I'm sure you will."

'Like hell I will'-I think every body is to scared of my weirdness rubbing of on them though I doing think my problem is contagious.

"Yes mom I'm sure I will" I say sarcastically. She knows people don't like me and never will. She walks over to me and wraps her arms around me.

"Honey I'm sure you will." She says again more to convince herself than me. "Yes mom." I say pushing her away why dose she always try to hug me its so annoying?

She lets go and walks into the kitchen leaving me to brood. After about ten minuets she comes back out with a plate of toast and jam.

"Here you go honey." She says in a sing song voice.

"Don't call me honey!" I say my eyes fixed on a small teacup with a single eye and small arms and legs lying in the hall.

"What are you looking at?" My mom asks with a weird look on here face.

"Nothing" I say quickly tearing my eyes from the small youkai and stare at my food. She looks like she wants to ask but swallows her question and stands up.

"Well I'm off to work!" She exclaims, trying to lighten the mood but I can see the lines of strain on her face. They are always there.

I sit at the table and stare at the cup that jumps up and runs off. Feeling as if I can eat in peace I eat my breakfast and watch a small Tengu surf the winds outside the kitchen window.

"This is going to be a long day"

"TSUBAKI!" I hear a yell as I enter the front gate of my friendshouse.I see a small blur hurtling towards me.

'Arashi'I think instantly and side step causing her to comically hurtle into a tree conveniently behind me.

"Tsubaki you're so mean! ~" She wines brushing herself off.

'How dose she do this every day? Most people would have run out of brain cells by now.'But as usual she quickly recover and walks up to me.

"Tsubaki aren't you exited about school?" She asks cheerfully all the while glomping me.

"Not really."

"Oh come on Tsubaki, cheer up!" she commands sporting a giant grin. "Guess what!" Her grin grows.

"What?"

"I got another umbrella!" She answers without missing a beat from my unenthusiastic answer. "What kind?" I ask with mild interest. Yes my best friend Arashi Keikasa has an umbrella collection of about 200…

"It's black with turquoise spots!" She answers happily.

"Cool! Come on lets go we are going to be late." I say grabbing her arm. She pulls her cellphone out of her pocket, looks at it for the time, yelps and we switch places her dragging me the rest of the way to school.

Arashi: well anyways please comment bye bye!

I am very veryveryvery sorry for the late update. *hides under bed*. My only good reason is that I temporarily lost the notebook that I have it prewritten in and when I did find it I was to lazy to update. I would like to thank White Hunter andXxSaphirezxX for commenting it means a lot to me. I will post Arashi's profile at the end of this chapter. I really hope you like this chapter.
