Chapter 15
Growling they went back to their seats but not without Nobu tripping Jeff up and laughing like a maniac.
As much as Skintaker pleaded for Nobu to play, she refused.
"I don't want to and you won't force me, so fuck off!" she glared at him frowning and put her ear buds in. She ignored everyone for the rest of the lesson and listened to music.
Their next lesson was Chemistry that is taught by Shadowlurker. It started pretty quietly but got interesting as they started to blow stuff up and Nobu laughing like a maniac at Ben, who got his hat set on fire by accident.
On the way home Ben managed to convince Nobu to let him ride with her.
"This is amazing. I understand why you love your bike so much now." He said grinning from behind her, his arms wrapped around her stomach to keep him in place.
"I know right?" she smirked back at him.
As they got home, Nobu went to her room and grabbing some clean clothes, and headed for the shower.
Clean and refreshed, she went downstairs where she ran into EJ in the kitchen, who was eating what appear to be kidneys.
"Whatcha eating?" she asked sitting down beside him. His mask was pushed up a little, only showing his lips and sharp teeth. Nobu found it cool that he has grey skin, as she likes the oddities of her housemates.
"Kidneys, you want some?" he asked with a smile.
"Why not. I'm curious to what it tastes like." She said in thought then frowned.
"Dad never let me try human, he said I would get in trouble and we would have to move house." Nobu frowned at the memory.
"Well, there's nothing stopping you now." EJ said with a smirk, pushing his plate in front of her.
"I suppose so." She said and picked up a bloody kidney with a fork, eyeing it curiously. With a shrug, she took a big bite off it and started to chew. 'I forgot how chewy raw meat is' she thought to herself, but managed to swallow it in the end.
"T'was good. I like the sweet taste of blood, though a bit chewy." She grinned.
"Haha, I'm glad you liked it." EJ grinned at her and pulled his plate back, seeing as she was done.
There was knocking on the door and Nobu jumped up to go and open it.
Turning the doorknob she was surprised to see who was standing in the doorway.
"Liu!" she shouted happily and hugged him.
"Hey. Look who's in a good mood." He commented with a smile letting her go and stepping back.
"I just tried kidneys and they were good." She grinned as Liu paled a bit in disgust.
"Eyeless gave it to you, I'm guessing." He said pulling his nose as she nodded happily.
"Come in." she said stepping to the side.
"I'd rather not. I came here for you. We promised to practice together, and that's what I came here for, to retreat you." Liu explained smiling.
"Oh yea. I'll go get my guitar, wait here." She said and with that disappeared inside.
As Nobu got her instrument, Liu closed the door and leaned against the wall beside it.
"Got it." Nobu smiled as she came out with her guitar on her back and her bike keys.
"Let's go." Liu said getting on behind her and she drove off to Zalgo Mansion.
The ride there wasn't too long and as she pulled up in front of the mansion, she smiled as it wasn't much different than Slender Mansion.
"Ok, come on." Liu said pulling her to the door.
"Eager, are we?" Nobu grinned laughing.
"Happy that I finally found someone I can play music with." He said grinning back at her.
They stepped through the front door and immediately met with Zalgo.
"Nobuki. What are you doing here dear?" he asked happily.
"Came to practice with Liu." She smiled at her uncle, gesturing to the guitar on her back.
"I see. Will you be staying for dinner?" he asked, pleased that she made a friend in his house.
"Most likely, yes." She laughed.
"Good. You should meet the rest of my house. Come." Zalgo smiled and pulled her to the living room by the hand, Liu following behind with a smile.
"Kids, this is my lovely niece Nobuki. Please be nice to her. She's staying for dinner." Zalgo introduced her smiling.
"Lovely, yea right." Puppeteer said glaring at her as she glared back.
"She's fucking vicious." Jane said arms crossed with a frown.
"Children! You brought it upon yourselves." Zalgo said silencing the two.
"Yea, besides, I wouldn't start a fight without a good reason." Nobu explained with a shrug.
"Nobu." Lost Silver greeted her smiling as Zalgo left the room to take care of his work.
"Hey." She smiled back and waved at him.
"Hey puppy." Dark Link said ruffling her hair.
"Sup Dark?" she laughed pushing his hand away.
"Hi, I'm Candle Jack, but just call me CJ." A cartoony ghost like guy floated up to her smiling.
"Nice to meet you CJ. I've gotta say, there are an awful lot of Jacks around." She commented laughing.
"Shure are. My name's Bloody Painter." A guy with a mask said.
"Nice to meetcha." Nobu smiled.
"Ignore those two, they're just angry cause you wiped the floor with their asses. I'm Strangled Red." A guy in red said laughing.
"Nice to meet you all." Nobu smiled at everyone as she met the whole of Zalgo house.
They all smiled back at her and Liu grabbed her hand, dragging her off to his room upstairs.
She was surprised how clean his room was, everything was ordered and in their right place. Nothing like Jeff's room, Nobu been to his room to ask him something and was met with clothes scattered on the floor and stuff just everywhere, the only neat thing in his room was his knife collection.
"You are nothing like your brother." Nobu commented in awe.
"Of course not, I will never be like that damn idiot." Liu said with a frown.
"Alright, alright. Let's play now. What songs do you usually play?" Nobu asked as she took out her electric guitar.
"Slash songs, usually some from his Apocalyptic Love album." He replied smiling.
"Awesome, I love that album. Ok, let's play Halo, do you know it?" Nobu asked exited as she plugged her guitar into the amp.
"Yup." He replied smiling as he did the same. They started to play and were happy to find that they were able to sync nicely. Both smirking, Nobu started to sing the lyrics.
Liu was quite amazed at her voice, and talent with the guitar.
After they finished the song and got excited about how talented the other was, they played a couple more songs from Slash, both of his albums with Myles Kennedy.
They were halfway through One Last Thrill, when Dark Link walked in and stared at them in awe. Noticing him, they stopped and turned to him, both smirking.
"Yo-you guys are seriously amazing. Ever considered a band?" Dark asked smiling a little excited.
"Yea, but we have no drummer and we need another guitarist." Nobu smiled at the dark elf happily for the mention of a band.
"There's no other Creepypasta that plays, I should know, and there is no way I'm working with a human." Liu explained frowning at the last part.
"I agree." Nobu nodded.
"Anyway, food's ready." Dark said and walked out as they put down their instruments and followed the dark elf down.
"You'll love it, Jane is our cook and she is amazing at it." Liu grinned happily beside Nobu.
"I don't doubt it." She smiled.
As they got to the dining room, Liu pulled Nobu down beside him with CJ on her other side.
She was about to say something when a slice of caramel tiramisu was placed in front of her. Nobu looked up to see Jane there.
"I was told about your eating habits by Zalgo." She said with a shrug and walked off.
Nobu smiled and dug in as everyone else started eating their meals.
"Haha, good try, but you're a thousand years too early to poison me, babe." Nobu laughed looking at a shocked Jane, and smirked as Zalgo glared at the girl.
"Mmm, Slendy's a good cook, but god you make a good tiramisu." Nobu sight happily as Jane smiled, surprised at the compliment.
To be fair, Nobu had no problem with the two it's just if people are rood to her, she will react the same way.
"Thanks, I guess." Jane smiled.
After dinner, Liu and Nobu headed back upstairs but got stopped by Dark.
"Wait, can't you practice downstairs? You guys are seriously good." He said grinning.
"Sorry, no can do." Nobu said then walked up the stairs.
Dark looked at Liu with puppy dog eyes but he just shrugged ad followed Nobu.
They played a few more songs until Nobu decided they had enough for today and headed home, saying goodbye to the Zalgo household.
She arrived home and closed the front door behind her with a big yawn.
"Had fun child?" Slendy asked smiling through his words.
"Yep, I like the kids in Zalgo house, they're cool." She said smiling.
"Take that back!" Masky shouted from the living room.
"Right fakin now!" Hoodie finished.
"No way!" Nobu shouted back and walked into the gaming room to find Ben, Jeff and EJ playing on Left 4 Dead 2.
"Hey guys." She smiled sitting down by EJ at the end of the couch.
"Nobu. Where'd you go all afternoon?" Ben asked, not taking his eyes off the TV even once.
"Zalgo Mansion, Played with Liu." She replied smiling happily.
"WHAT?!" Jeff shouted turning to her in disbelief.
"He can play base guitar so we promised to play. Gee, don't get your pants in a twist." Nobu glared up at Jeff who was now standing in front of her glaring bloody murder.
"Since when is he your friend, and why did you go to that house of pricks?" he asked crossing his arms.
"Since he got detention and helped me look for the reverse spell, and they are actually cool people. You would notice that too, but your hatred got your vision clouded." Nobu stood up angrily shouting at him.
"They're only full of themselves and look down on the other houses." Jeff argued back as Ben and EJ watched quietly from the couch.
"That may be how they come across to you, but they're actually nice people, most of them." Nobu glared into Jeff's eyes.
"Most of them?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yea. Jane tried to poison me and I got shouted at by her and Puppet-freak as soon as I stepped in, but the others are nice." She explained trying to deal with him.
"Only because you're the little nice of Zalgo and the Slenders." Jeff shouted back, not amused at Nobu taking their side and being friendly with his brother.
"Well excuse me princess. I don't choose my family. Besides, I don't think they're all that big headed, Zalgo's just a slave driver. Now that I think about it, I feel kinda sorry for them in that aspect." Nobu said in thought as Jeff thought about it and had to agree, Zalgo is kinda bad when he wants them to do well.
"And most of them said that they have nothing against this house, so you better change your attitude or I'll do it for you, but you won't like that." She glared at him.
"I'm not scared of you." Jeff growled leaning in to glare at her more.
"You should be." Nobu glared moving in as well, glaring daggers at him, foreheads nearly touching.
"Guys, you move any closer and it'll be a kiss." EJ's comment snapped them back to reality as they jumped away from each other wide eyed.
"He wishes." Nobu frowned crossing her arms and sitting back down.
"In your dreams, foxy." Jeff scoffed but sat back down as well.
"You wanna fight Snow White?" she asked smirking.
"Bring it bitch." He smirked back, but before they could jump at each other, Ben and EJ held them down.
"What are we gonna do with you two, seriously." EJ sighed as he let a now calm Nobu go, as did Ben with Jeff.
"But it's fun. Arguing with that dick is entertaining." Nobu smirked leaning back.
"Right back at cha foxy." Jeff replied smirking as well.
