I went to school the next day in a very good mood. The report was due Friday, but you could turn it in whenever. It was Wednesday. (5 more days, counting today, then I get to see Sasami again!!! Whoo!) Okay, so this is what my report said:
“Any, Every, and Nothing”
“…And paper cuts from letters I rewrite explaining how to fall in love.”
~Automatic Loveletter; Parker.
I rewrote, rewrit, and had rewritten this report over, and over again. I even did give myself some paper cuts. Falling in love is as easy as it is hard. I thought about defining it, but that only made it harder! It can be any and everything to some people, but to others, it can mean nothing.
This is the subject song-writters sing about, and authors base their best works on. Everyone feels it- it may not be as in a lover context, but people still feel it none the less. The list I came up with is only a fraction of ways to fall in love and what it is. Different people have different ideas about what it is, which is why it is different for so many people. And the person who helped me with this, I think I’m going to come to love them very much.
Love is so very many different things, but at the same time, it’s nothing.
I got an B for that crap. It was, but that was only because by the time I got home and actually came up with that, it was after 12:00. I still planed to sing this song in front of the class and give them lyrics with picked apart definitions. The only thing that the teacher didn’t tell us- not that it would bother me- was that every time someone would sing, she would invite a different class over. “Alright, so, who’s going first?” The teacher was looking at me and Tereya. “huh?” I looked over at her. “We’ll talk it over between ourselves. It shouldn’t take that long.” The teacher nodded and walked away. “Wait- your done?”
“Duh. I already gave her my report, and I have enough copies of the more defined lyrics for both classes. You should go first, I don’t wanna show you up.” I glared at her, but got up none the less. “Urusai, your going first?” I nodded. The teacher passed out the lyrics. I was nervous, only because I didn’t know what Tereya was doing. “Alright, I invited Mrs.Kagaya’s class up here, which means you need to be polite because their a year younger than you all.” I sat on a desk while I waited for the class to come up. Once the class was in the room and settled down, the teacher told me that I still had to wait because one of her students was in the bathroom. I nodded, not leaving my post. I eyed the clock, waiting for this student to get here so I could start. The girl burst into the classroom. “I’m really sorry! I had a hard time finding the room! I- Urusai!” My face lit up. “Sa-sami!” I ran over and hugged her cuteness. She giggled. “Wow, now I feel really bad, making you wait.” I shook my head. “It’s fine. Sit-sit.” She nodded and took a seat in the front. I couldn’t help but notice that Tereya glared at her for some reason. I swear that girl perplexes me…
Either way, “Can I start now?” My teacher nodded. I was glad Sasami was in the front. It just made it all the more easier for me to put my heart into it.
When I got to the line that Sasami helped me with, she smiled. When I was done, they all clapped like they should of, then I went over to Sasami. She shot up out of her chair. Her tail was going back and fourth like crazy. >///< Oh, my go… I think I’m gonna rape her! “Urusai, that was great! I didn’t know you could sing!” I smiled, a bit embarrassed. “Thanks. Now lets listen to “queen Tereya’s” singing.” She giggled. Tereya was conversing with the teacher, then handed her a CD.
Instrumental? Great… She already had shown me up… AND in front of Sasami.
She introduced her song and herself for those who didn’t know her- which meant no one. “Hello, everyone! My name is Tereya and I’m going to be singing “Skip, Turn, Skip” by Kanon Wakashima. I hope you all enjoy it!” …Great… I hadn’t done any of that- the teacher had to remind me… Sasami made a face, then reached for my hand. She leaned in closer. “Don’t worry- I think she’s stuck up and TOO flashy and nice. Nice like teacher’s pet nice- or more, if you catch my drift.” I giggled. Thank god I wasn’t the only one who saw the bitchy side of her. Sasami’s “OMG I TOTALLY LOVE YOU!!!” points (or OMG.I.T.L.U) were at 115 now. Tereya sang her song and used her body a lot, saying she wasn’t afraid of her crowd. She didn’t even look nervous. In fact, she looked like she was enjoying it. The attention, the breif dancing, or pamamiming out some of the lyrics. One the “skip, turn, skip, turn”, she hopped on one foot, then put her hand out like all of a sudden her scenery changed and she was in a ballroom and not outside dancing in the rain in a puddle. It was amazing how I got all of that from just that brief movement. I was a bit envious…
When she was done, she sat down in her seat (surprisingly, next to me), and folded her hands and discretely glared at me (Not surprising). Sasami gripped my arm and said, decently loud, “I think you were better. She may have had more movement, but you had more heart in your song- which made it better.” I couldn’t help but smile at her. I could of sworn Tereya’s eyebrow twitched. Was Sasami… Really admitting her? Wooh-hoo! Her OMG.I.T.L.U. points went up again. I held on to Sasami’s arm and patted her head. She instantly closed her eyes and nuzzled my hand, begging me to pet her. I laughed a bit and petted her. She made these cute bunny noise, that kinda reminded me of a gunnie-pig. I had all I could do not to kiss her on her forehead. “Will you cut that out!” Sasami jumped at looked at Tereya, who to Sasami, probably looked like the devil’s incarnate because she almost let go of my arm she jumped so far. “It’s not becoming for a female student to do things like that in public. Get a hold of your self UsagiRita!” Sasami’s ear’s went down and she whimpered a bit. I scowled a bit at Tereya. “No what else isn’t becoming? You attitude! You really have to control your temper! If anything, you should be yelling at me, not her. I was petting HER, not the other way around. I think your just mad because no one wants to pet you because your so evil.” I herd some snickers. I watched he clearly mouth “Glass-Necklace”, and I shut my trap, letting go of Sasami’s arm. “Good.” She said and turned to the front. I miserably also shifted in my seat. The teachers were standing over us, glaring. “If you two are done-” Tereya calmly nodded before they could finish. “Tereya, you do have a point, but so does Urusai, BUT- this isn’t a debate class. It’s English. Get over it and shut your mouths or go the office.” Hmm, le’see… Office, or Evil bitch who can verbally rain down hell… Hmmm… Office, bitch, office, bitch…
“Now I want both classes to say what they liked, and NICELY, tell both girls what they could of done to make it better or a comment.” Tereya was complemented on her acting, and pretty singing, and song choice. Not very many people had anything bad to say about her- Except my beloved Sasami. “I think your acting, dancing, and instrumental was a cover up for the fact that you didn’t really feel for the song. You smiled and danced- which was nice, but when I closed my eyes to listen to just you, I didn’t really get anything. I think you should work on that- it’d make you a better singer.” YES! Me, I was just told I could have been a little less stiff, but my singing was really good. Someone said they didn’t even like the song, but the way I sang it made them not get bored or want to leave. I nodded. All this really meant nothing to me. Once me, nii-chan and Sori were ll together and going at it, I was AMAZING! I danced, I flirted with my audience, I was like a really singer. (And yeah, I could do a lot of that from the drum seat. ^^) That could be why I WAS so stiff though, because I usually was multi-tasking the drums and singing. Also having to interact with my audience was a bonus for me. As much as I love playing the drums, for live stuff, we really need another member… “-Sai! Urusai!” I jumped. “Huh- what?” I watched out of the corner of my eyes as Tereya rolled her eyes. “One of your kowhai’s are going to present what they’ve been doing. Can you at least pay attention?” I looked over and saw Sasami standing up, looking REALLY nervous. “Oh-! I’m really sorry!” I quickly turned my attention to Sasami. “Because of our singing in this class, we figured now would be as good a time as any to have another singer go for it.” Sasami looked like she was about to pass out. She had a violin case behind her. “U-Um… I know I’m really stiff, and I know that I stand in one place, and am kind of quiet but…” She shook her head. “This song doesn’t have any words and is from an anime called “Shugo Chara”. It’s called “Angel’s Cradle”, and everyone know’s how I’m going to do two- well, my sempai’s don’t, but- My violin song will also be from this anime. The violin song is called “Tsuki no Violinist” and I had to learn it by ear so…” She was so nervous… I gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t be nervous- just go for it. You screw up- so what? What’s the worst that can happen? You notice your mistakes a lot more than your audience, Sasami.” She blushed and eyed the floor. “…Okay… I, guess I’ll start now…” She closed her eyes and inhaled.
It sounded like a lullaby for a baby… Accompanied by a violin, it sounded so good, I caught myself trying not to nod off. When she was done singing, she started playing the violin. I caught a peak at Tereya and instead of the devil, she was now medusa, try to kill Sasami with her eyes. I mumbled, just enough so she could hear, “No need to be jealous of your kohai, right Tereya?” She jumped a bit, snapping out of her evil-face-3 state. (One being a bitch, two being the devil, three being medusa.) I think she was mad because Sasami also could sing and play the violin. The song Sasami played wasn’t that long, but there was definitely emotion in it. Who ever wrote it was definitely feeling something at the time. Sasami played it so well, I saw a mouse start to whimper with welled up eyes. A ferret comforted her. The ferret was very cute… She was tall and had long, brown, naturally two different colored hair. I couldn’t help but notice how she nuzzled the mouse with purple hair and blue eyes. Like she kinda felt more for her than a friend… What the hell, you moron! Not everyone’s a secret lesbro like you! Get over you “Oh my god, she cute so I think I would date her” fetishes!!!
Geezus… Sasami finished with a very red dace and quickly returned to her seat before anyone could even get a clap in. “You did, great. I don’t know what your nervous about. The only reason you were stiff is because your used to playing and instrument while singing. I’m like that to. I do drums.” She looked at me with a tipped head. “You must like music, Urusai.” I nodded. “Live, breathe, and eat the stuff.” She giggled. “Sasami UsagiRita, please pay attention to someone other than Urusai. Your classmates are trying to give you their opinions.”
“Yeah, you don’t need to look like that’s your girlfriend or anything…” Tereya mumbled. Course not, slut. “No, but she’s doing a damn good job of pissing you off.” I whispered back. Before she could reply, I turned to Sasami. “Sasami, I’m going to kidnap you- would that be okay?” She nodded, pretending to listen to one of her classmates. I saw a hidden smile.
Before Sasami got to leave, I wanted to ask her about the ferret and the mouse. I grabbed her arm. “Sasami- real quick. What’s the relationship between the ferret and the mouse?” She tipped her head. “W-Why do you ask?” I let go of her arm, feeling a little dumb for not having an answer. “Just curious…” She paused for a minute, then mumbled, “I don’t think it’s my place to say…” Then left. So… Were they…? Huh… Guess my conscience is right… Not everyone is a secret yuri, but how can they be? Guys exist too, now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been a long rest of the week, but now, the time has come for the weekend. A time of relaxation, poetry writing, painting the falling sakura trees- and who in the HELL was I fooling? HELL YEAH! I had my date with Sasami today! The second my alarm clock went off, I started singing, and I danced to my clock. I skipped down the stairs and got out some cereal. It was almost noon, yes, but sitting there waiting and having nothing to do but be antsy would be boring. I had three hours to get ready (And Sasami’s number!). I would call her at two to make sure everything was still a-okay. I took my time eating, but had song lyrics in my head the entire time. I’m usually like that when I’m extremely happy or when I just wake up. “Well, good afternoon, to you.” Nii-chan was in the snack cupboard. “Ohioh.” I replied. “…We need to go shopping…” He mumbled. “Am I doing that today, or…?” I shook my head. “I’ll do it tomorrow, because if you go, Sori will have any and almost everything lickable on your stomach.” He laughed and closed the cupboard. “Your just mad ‘cuse your lonely.” I raised an eyebrow. “Right. ‘Cuse lonely people have dates today.” He sat a crossed from me. “Oh really? A date? Or you being basically pulled by an invisible leash?” I chewed my cereal, pretending it was his head. “No. A real date. With the usagi girl you met.” He nodded. “She goes to our school you know. She’s a year younger than me.” He tipped back in his chair and put his hands behind his head. “And to think this is my last year in high-school. I won’t get to go down the hall and punch you every time I see you, now!” He made it sound like he was about to cry. Ha-ha. He was so funny. “Yeah, and I wont get to make you flinch in the hallway by treating your- how do I put this… BALLS!” His lip twitched. He got up and lifted up my cereal bowl and dumped it down my shirt- and I mean DOWN my shirt. He pulled it out and everything! Mind you, I had yet to change and sleep with no bra on. Yeah. Not fun. I shot up and ran to the fridge. “You forgot to throw away the milk you left on the counter for a week! I was hoping you’d drink it, but this is even better. He ran as fast has he could to his room. I ran out the back door- going for his window. I jumped and landed in the window sill. He was backing away from the door like he expect me to break it down. That’s right, sucker, just a little more over here… He stopped and sniffed a little, then a lot, the slowly turned around. I gave a battle cry and jumped.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Um, Sasami? Yeah, I might be a little late, today…” I sniffed my arm. “Ew! Make that a lot late.”
“Huh? What happened?” Her voice was even higher- if possible- over the phone. “Well… Me and my brother kind of got into a spoiled milk fight, along with some rotten potatoes…” I looked over at my wall and saw the same glob of smelly mush barley moving anywhere. Gravity’s such a big help, isn’t it? I sniffed it. “ugh…”
“Oh… If you want, I can come over and help- if you need it, I mean.” I thought about for no more than a second before nii-chan came in, covered in, what used to be, food. “Uru, you do remember what today is right?” I looked at him funny. “Should I?” He raised an eyebrow. “One word: gig.” My mouth almost hit the floor. “No way! That wasn’t today was it?” I jumped over my bed to the calendar. Yup. There it was, circled in red marker, R.T.,which stood for “Rock Talent-Show.” I almost crapped my pants. “Um, Sasami…”
“Do you have something else to do today? If you do that’s fine. We can go some other time, honest.” I felt really bad because she sounded kind of sad. I was also looking forward to it… “I’m sorry… There was this talent show thing, and me, my brother, and his, uh,” I looked at nii-chan and he nodded. “Boyfriend were going to be in it, and I thought that was next week… Sorry…” Silence on the other end for a bit. “Can I go?” Huh? “Come again?” She giggled. “Can-I-go?” My face probably lit up, because nii-chan snickered and left the room, taking his share of the stink with him. “S-sure!” She giggled again. “So, who would I be cheering for?” I wanted to sit on my bed, then I remembered the spoiled milk and rotten potatoes. “Dark Wonderland.”
“…What?” She probably thought the name was crap. “Shu-”
“I heard you, I heard you. I just didn’t think it would be so unique. Most wanna be bands have names like “Sicko”, or “Cut”, or something like that.” I raised an eyebrow, knowing she couldn’t see it, made it show in my voice. “Oh really? And where have you heard that?”
“A list of idea’s for a band name, courtesy of my cousin.” Ah. “So, who came up with it?” I started walking to the bathroom. “Me and, my brother’s boyfriend, Sori, er, Sora. Sorry, he cross-dresses. My brother said it had to at least be a little emo because we were a rock band.” I heard her “ah,” then she asked if she could come over. “Sure, but don’t get here to soon. My brother and I need to take showers…” She giggled. “Okay. I’ll come over in, say 4:00-ish?” I started stripping, putting her on speaker-phone. “Sure. Sounds good. See you in, about two hours. “I heard her enthusiastic, “Uh-huh!” Then the click of the other phone line.
Sweet. Sasami was going to see me perform- and not like the crap I gave our classes either.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sasami came over at four on the dot. I was blow-drying my hair, while Sori was applying eyeliner, Nii-chan, whining about how he didn’t like shirts and didn’t want to put it on. The radio was playing Chevelle. “Oh, stop being a baby!” I said coming back into the room. “Woah!” I whipped around and covered Sasami’s eyes. “Innocent, here!” There was a pause, then nii-chan’s rough voice saying, “Sorry.”
“Damn right you are- ops, sorry, Sasami…” She looked at me as I uncovered her eyes. Sori rolled her eyes. “So much for innocent, and Ty-kun, put your shirt on, or else.” Sasami looked at Sori, then me, then Sori again. “That’s a DUDE?!” All three of us looked at each other, then burst out laughing. “Yes, Sasami. That is.”
“Woah…” Was all that came out of her mouth along with lots of he breath. “Sori, when your done, can you get the parts of my hair I can’t usually get? I’ll put on my “over-dress-thingy” after.” Right now, I was just in a tight blood red thing that reminded me of an emo vampire tube, with crimson fishnets and shoes that had heels, but not those,” my toes are pointed, and my foot-sole it about the size of an ant”. No. My shoes were dressy-army boot looking things, and they were awesome! Nii-chan had on his tight, black emo pants, with the colored stitching, while Sori was all done, minus the make-up. She had on really ragged, intentionally, looking goth lolita that was very fluffy. Black and white were Sori’s colors, Nii-chan’s were black and turquoise, while mine were Black and crimson. “What was your name? Sasami?” She nodded, looking a little awkward. “Can you get Sai’s dress off of her bed. Trust me, it’s hard to miss.” She nodded, turned around to go get it, then turned back around. “Um, where-”
“Cooomme on.” Nii-chan said, getting up off of the tub. He lead her out, while Sori helped me finish blow-drying my hair, then brushed it out. When that was done, Sasami had finally come back. “What were you showing her? Your hentai collection?” Sasami’s face grew bright red and Nii-chan just glared. “Keep that up and I’ll let her borrow it.”
“Bite me.” Sori stopped, then got up and licked nii-chan’s cheek then whispered something only he could hear, and me, if I listened hard enough. “I’ll do lots more in lots of different places, and I won’t bite, as long as you stop fighting with Sai.” Nii-chan wrapped his arms around Sori’s waist and nuzzled her. “Go on.”
“Oh, please don’t Sori. I can hear you!” Sori looked at me, then pulled Nii-chan out of the room. Sasasmi tipped her head. “Don’t leave this room for a while. Please?” She looked at me confused, then nodded. I gave myself a part way over on the right side of my hair, then made it pretty far back, giving me the emo look. My hair covered my entire eye. I looked at Sasami, my one blue eye showing. My eyeliner made my eye stand out even more. She giggled and sat on the toilet. I grabbed my dress and put it on. It was messy looking like Sori’s, but had a very low v-cut, that’s what my emo vampire tube was for, on a corset, and seemed to come up and out, not that much out, at the ends. Sasami looked and gasped. “Urusai, you look…” I looked at her and smirked. “Emo, right?” She nodded. “Good, cuse that’s what were going for. Emo with weird colors.” She nodded. “Sori throws it off.” I nodded. “Well, Sori’s weird herself, what can I say?” I turned up the radio. “I love Chevelle.” I started singing along with the cd. “Your stabbing me though you, your stabbing you, through him, and betting most of, this WORLD!” She smirked. “Is that what your singing?” I shook my head. “No. Where singing song I wrote called “Novashadow”.” She tipped her head. “Nova…? Shadow?” I nodded. “Nova, giga, mega. They are all around the same type of meaning, but if you were to class them together, it’d be mega, giga, then nova. They all mean a lot or really big.” She nodded. “So, “Nova-shadow”, means really big shadow?” I poited a finger at her. “Exactly.” She watched me finish getting ready then stood up. “You all done?” I turned to her and nodded. “So, I know for boys, girls usually give them kisses for good luck, but…” I wanted to die. KISS ME DAMN IT!!! “Um… A kiss would be fine.” She looked at me. “Really?” I nodded. She smiled and bounced her two steps over to my side. “Lips or cheek?” Wait- what?! Dear, god, don’t tempt me! “Huh?” It came out shaky. “S-Sasami, you and I are both girls… Wouldn’t you find that awkward?” She had her hands behind her back and was close to me. “Would YOU?” Truthfully, no. Not in the slightest bit. I would LOVE to kiss Sasami. But… Fr some reason, I was hesitant… “Or, do you have a boyfriend, or something?” My eye(s) searched Sasami’s face. “S-Sasami… Are you… Do you…?” She shook her head. “No. But for some reason, I like you. I just want to make sure it’s only as a friend.”
“And if it’s no-” I felt her soft, pink lips. They reminded me of the time I buried my face in sugar powder.
Soft and sweet…
I kissed her back, for some reason, briefly thinking of Tereya. Stupid? Why would you do that? She’s the devil’s incarnate, remember? I wrapped my arms around her small waist. I hadn’t realized how much taller I was than her. She had to stand on her tip-toes to kiss me, yet alone if she was just standing. Even then I had to bend a bit. I felt her light grip on my shirt as she pulled away. “Good luck… Urusai…” I breathed. “…Y-Yeah…” She was so cute right now. Her face was red and she was looking up at me with her big blue eyes. “Um… If you win, I’ll give you another…” I visibly gulped. “O-Okay… I’d like that.” Her face lit up. “Y-Yeah?” I nodded. “uh.” She buried her face in my chest- not boobs, chest. “I… I know this sounds silly, but I was looking at our going out as a date… That’s so silly, right?” Silly? Um, what was I doing not to long ago? Oh, right. “OMG I’M GOING ON A DATE WITH SASAMI!!! HOLY SHIT I JUST CRAPPED MY PANTS!!!” Right. I wasn’t looking at it like a date at all. Nope. Nii-chan came in and Sasami let go before he saw. “So, uh… We all ready?” Sori came in behind him. “No. I need to fix something real quick.” I didn’t want to know. “Come on Sasami.” I pulled her out of the bathroom for Sori to fix, well, whatever Nii-chan messed up. We got into Sori’s car. We would of token our bikes, but Nii-chan, yeah, him, not me or Sori, is worried abot this hair getting screwed up. Don’t ask me why. He’s bi, remember? Meaning he’s a bit gay. I turned on Sori’s car and turned on the radio and heat. Sasami sat in the back with me. “Um… Urusai… You won’t tell that I did, or said that… Right?” I looked at her and grabbed for her hand. “ ‘Course not. Why would I? Don’t you think that will also get me in trouble too?” She looked at me, then blushed and nodded. She leaned on my shoulder. “So, did you happen to get anything out of that kiss?” She blushed. “U-Uhm…” I tipped my head. “Need another one?” Her face blushed, but she nodded none the less. I felt the soft, sweet lips of a rabbit that made me melt into a puddle. She lip locked with me until I heard foot steps. It felt good to kiss her. I had never dated anyone before, so this made me feel good. Plus, I really liked her. Yeah, I may of just been her curios gunny-pig, but I didn’t mind. She could be mine to, and if she got serious about me, I don’t think I’d mind.
The drive there was nice. I didn’t even think about Tereya or her necklace that binded us together. Nope.
Only a few hundred times. That’s all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once there, Sasami had to blend into the crowd while we went behind stage. For the show, we had to do two songs. One of our own, and one that already existed. It was to test how good we could be with the crowd. If our stuff was good and if we knew what kind of audience we were playing to. There were so many different types or rock, just as there were for different types of music. Like 80’s rock was still rock, certain types of metal, like Flyleaf, was more or less rock.
For something not our own, Nii-chan and I ended up with Ten Years, or Chevelle. I know weird right? I’m a girl, yet we get stuck with two guy bands at the end. I could do both guy or girl songs though. We ended up picking Chevelle because I kept thinking of this one song because I was fuming at Tereya. I forgot what it was called, but it went, “Your right, I get it. It all makes sense you’re the perfect person so right. So wrong. Lets all live in your imaginary life.” See what I thought of Tereya? But yeah. That’s the song we’re doing. Once we were on stage, we had to move the drum set up in the front and get rid of the chair. People started to murmur, but once we were settled, they shut up. The first part was what song you picked. Second was what you wrote. I inhaled, and briefly searched the crowned for Sasami, but saw someone else.
She was blonde and was a neko… Well, Nii-chan DID put flyers up on bultin-boards around the school, but why would she come? There’s no way… The mc announced us.
“This is “Dark Wonderland”.” When he said our name, I felt like our name kinda stupid. My paranoia kicking in. I could of sworn I heard the blonde neko laugh. “Their Drummer’s name is Urusai, the base player’s name is- is it Sori or Sora?” He looked over at Sori. “It’s both, but right now it’s Sori.” I heard a few whistles. “Um, their base player is Sori, and their guitarist is Ty.” Ty waved with two fingers to the crowd, which sent waves of whispers about who he waved to and how cute he was. “Alright. There doing a song by “Chevelle”. Enjoy.” The crowed whistled and clapped. I kept my eyes on the neko girl. She wasn’t exactly looking up at us, and she had a hat on. (Could tell she was a neko by her tail.) She looked up once we started and I almost choked on my saliva. Thank god I hadn’t started singing yet. Once I did, I put so much heart into it, I could of sworn I saw it on the walls. Once we were done, we went in the back to wait. Sori sat in a chair and breathed. “Ah! I was so nervous…” Nii-chan looked around nervously. “Okay, I know I went before we left, but that entire time I was on stage I had to piss.” I laughed. “Anyone else think our name sounded like a emo five-year-old came up with it?” Sori raised her hand. I sat down next to her. “I’ll be back. Have to piss like a race horse.” Nii-chan said, leaving the room. (He left so fast, I made the last part up ‘cuse I couldn’t hear it!) Sori leaned her head on my shoulder. “His butt is so cute…” I laughed. “By the way, Sori, please don’t ever do it with him anywhere but his room. I have been forever scared.” She shot up and looked at me. “I’m sorry!” I shook my head. “Besides being blind, I think I’m okay. Just don’t do it anywhere else but his room.” Sori’s face heated as she slumped in her chair. “I’m sorry, Sai. I didn’t mean to mortify you…” I stayed silent. Nii-chan came back and sat his fat butt on Sori. “Ah! Ty! T-ai…” I covered my ears. “Ew! Stop! And I wonder why I think I’m a lesbian!” Nii-chan laughed. “Right. Think. I saw your kiss-fest with the bunny in Sori’s car.
My face was red, “W-Wha-” He nodded. “Yup. Sure did.” I quickly got over it. “So? You guys have mortified me, made me stay away from lemon-pie for forever along with whip cream, AND made me not sit on the couch until it was bleached even times over!” Nii-chan laughed at me. “And I care because? Oh- by the way. You ate off of the table.” I shot up and ran to the sink. I heard Nii-chan laugh at me and Sori scold him. “Cut it out. Don’t you think you torture ‘Sai enough?” He looked as though he was seriously conserving it, then shook his head. “Nope.” I washed lunch down the drain. “From now on, I eat in my room.” Nii-chan nodded. “Sure. Just gives us one more place to do it.” I covered my ears. “Ew. Shut up, please!” A guy walked in. “Um, you. Dog.” He pointed in our direction. Nii-chan pointed at himself, but when the guy shook his head, he pointed to me. The guy nodded. “You have someone who wants to see you. There-”
“Not right now.” I kinda didn’t feel like Seeing Sasami right now. Not while Tereya was here. “It’s a girl right? Just tell her no.” The guy looked at me, then shrugged and walked away. Nii-chan raised an eyebrow. “Don’t want to see her?” I nodded. “Nah. I get to see her after and at school.” He nodded. “Yeah, guess that’s true. Although…” I tipped my head. “Nothing, Uru. Nothing…”
We went back on stage about a half an hour later. One too many bands, but about half of them had gotten booed off stage. Guess we were more or less in the clear. When we started, I didn’t have to sing right away, so I did a brief dance with my hips that made a lot of the [male] crowd whistle. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say I also spotted Tereya taking her finger’s out of her mouth for a whistle. I smiled. I was going to sing this to her. I could relate this to her. I didn’t mean to, but if I wanted to, I could…
“…I swear I’m on the inside of the shadows of wonderland- In the darker side of something confusing.” The crowed cheered, and I could clearly see Tereya whistle. I flashed her a smile, kind of hoping she saw it. We waited until the remaining bands played, then all had to stand on stage.
There were awards for things like, “most unique”, “most like metal rock”, etc. “And the winner of winner’s is… Dark Wonderland!” Nii-chan wrapped his arms around Sori and kissed her so hard, she almost fell over. Sasami ran up on stage and kissed my cheek repeatedly. I laughed nervously and scratched the back of my head. Tereya’s eyes were wide as she took a step backwards- like someone had just snacked her. Normally, I’d loved to be the one to do it, but for some reason, she seemed sweeter today… Then, she whipped around and fled as fast as she could. Had I done that…?

Before we dropped Sasami off, I wanted to ask her something. “Um, Sami-chan?” She turned around, really happy with my nickname for her. “Yeah?”
“So, um… What exactly did you want to see me about earlier?” She tipped her head. “Huh? Earlier?” I nodded. “Yeah. A guy who worked there said you wanted to see me?” She shook her head. “No, Urusai. I was in my seat the entire time- except at the end. I didn’t move honest.” She slid out of the car and waved to me. I waved, not really paying her any mind. So, if she didn’t come see me, then…
It was Tereya… Tereya wanted to see me… Why?
Heh… Bet you I’d never get an answer after Sami’s performance…
And to think… Just when we were getting along, I screw it up… Why didn’t I listen to that little voice in the back of my head?
Why didn’t I listen to “Why Sasami? Don’t you like Tereya?”
“Didn’t you come close to spewing the words “I love you”, to her once?”
