Chapter 5 : Falling

And it's Chapter 5... 0.0
Wow. I'm slow. And who knew Vance could break dance?
More stuff are to be revealed in this post..
And why is it so frigging long?? ^.^" Enjoy?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to his hoodie taken off, the audience had numerous kinds of responses.

"What is that youngster doing there!"

"I thought this company only allowed 18 and above to break dance?"

"Oh my gosh, HE'S HOT!"

"He looks familiar.."

"Darn he's taller and more good-looking than me!!!"

After the shouts and responses, people complained. They said "BOO!!" and "This is stupid!" and people began to leave. They littered the compound and shouted some insults. Within minutes, the crowd was gone, only leaving a few people staring dumbfound.

"Vance!" said the manager of the company. "You need some talking."

Uh oh. Busted again?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Kinochi could not believe her eyes. It was Vance all along? What is he doing here?

"I think I need to find out things," thought Kinochi. She began walking towards the backstage, authorized or not. Totally forgetting Emiko.

"Kinochi-chan!" whined Emiko as she ran towards her. "Where do you think you are going? We came here to shop you know!"

"But you were the one who stopped here to see them break dance," said Kinochi.

"I know but," said Emiko."They're done! Let's go!"

"No," said Kinochi after awhile. "I think.. I want to find out something."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Do you know you have just disgraced the Panther Cooperation by your doings?" said the manager, with his voice raising at every word he spoke. "This is going to be bad for this company in the future thanks to you Vance!"

Vance just stood in front of him motionlessly.

"I thought I could rely on you," continued the manager, as he slammed his fist on the table. "But I guess I proved myself wrong. You are just an ingnorant brat of 13! Why did you even apply a job here?"

"Shut up old man," thought Vance as he stuck his hands into his pockets.

"You're fired!" said the manager angrily. "I don't need idiots like you! You can leave now, and don't dare you ask for your pay for this week. Dismiss!"

"Sure old man," spoke Vance at last during the 30 minute lecture."My pleasure." Vance took his bag as walked out of the backstage as he collided into Kinochi.

Kinochi had a dazed look while Vance held a look of suprise.

"What are you doing here?" said Kinochi as she rubbed her head.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Before giving any explanations, first Vance took the two girls to buy some drinks. Vance actually paid for their drinks. Maybe for courtesy.

"So," said Kinochi as she sipped her drink. "Care to explain?"

"Well," said Vance."I applied a job here when I came back to earn some money. So that -"

"Earn money?" interrupted Emiko. "Don't your parents give you money?"

"...You can say.." said Vance after some blank thoughts."That they don't."

"But why?" asked Kinochi as she thought of her parents. Her dad died five years ago so her mom had to work alot so she and Onii-tan didn't get to see her often. But still, she did give them some money. "Not even a cent?"

"Do you honestly think I would apply for a job if my parents gave me money?" said Vance as he smacked his forehead. "Come on, can't you understand the obvious? Anyways, at first the manager didn't want to hire me because I was just too young."

"So how did you get hired?" asked Emiko.

"Because I'm tall enough and drop dead gorgeous," said Vance with a smirk.

"Yeah right," thought Kinochi.

"But I guess I blew it when my hoodie came off," continued Vance. "As if I wanted that to happen."

"But he should have forgiven you!!" said Emiko indigantly. "You break dance so well! If I were a manager I would have forgiven you!"

Emiko went on ranting as Kinochi and Vance sweatdropped. Then Kinochi's face had a grin plastered on it.

"Looks like someone has a crush on somebody.." said Kinochi, obviously meaning it's Emiko.

"NO I DO NOT!" said Emiko with a huff. Suddenly her mood changed.

"Hey Kinochi, we're supposed to shop!" said Emiko as she dragged a shocked Kinochi and leaving behind a bewildered Vance.

"Girls... are weird."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

.:: A million of shops and after ::.

Kinochi waved goodbye to Emiko as she sighed silently in delight.

"Thank goodness that's over!" thought Kinochi as she began walking home. The sunset has just appeared above the horizon and sky was purple-ish pink-ish in colour. She walked pass the lush greenery of the forest and was reaching the park when she saw two people skateboarding. A brunette haired boy and girl looked like they were have a lot of fun.

"I think we should go home now!" said the brunette haired boy, signalling the girl to stop.

"But it's early!" procastinated the girl. "And we just came here!"

"Yea.." said the boy sarcastically. "We just came here, 3 hours ago."

The girl pleaded to have one more try on the skateboarding platform.

"I guess one more time won't hurt," shrugged the boy.

The girl and boy got ready on the platform and they went down. They started doing tricks and flips like the Bigflip and the Disco Flip. They also did a Fingerflip and more.

"Wow!" thought Kinochi. "They're good!"

The girl eventually stopped but the boy went on. He was enjoying himself alot alright.

"And who said we should have gone home?" questioned the girl with a smirk on her face. The boy stopped at once.

The boy took off his hat which had blocked his eyes.

"Ricky?" exclaimed Kinochi out loud before thinking.

The brunette boy turned his head in suprise. "Kochi?" said Ricky, suprised. "What are you doing here?"

"I was walking back home when I saw you two skateboarding," said Kinochi. "You guys were awesome. Oh yea.. Ricky?"

"Yes?" said Ricky, puzzled.

"Is that girl your girlfriend?" said Kinochi. To her suprise, Ricky started laughing like mad.

"Are you kidding me?" chuckled Ricky. "She's my sister!"

"Yo," said the brunette haired girl."My name is Makani! Sister of Rick of course."

"Hi..?" said Kinochi. They both shook hands.

"I think I should get going now," said Kinochi after awhile. "Bye Ricky, Bye Makani!" She turned around to start walking home when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned her head around to find out that it was Ricky.

"Hey.." began Ricky."You want a ride home?" The grin on his face grew wider every second.

"Huh??" said Kinochi. "What do you mean by a ride home?"

"I mean it by.." said the grinning Ricky. "By this!"

Ricky hoisted Kinochi on his back as he took out his skateboard and slapped on his hat on his head. Kinochi tried to get down but it was futile.

"Oh damn," began Kinochi. "Don't tell me.."

"Let's rock and roll!" said Ricky with a mischevious smile as he started moving on his skateboard. Kinochi held back a scream which was amazing because Ricky was moving fast.

"Wait up!" said Manaki, having trouble at keeping up with Ricky's pace.

"Keep up or lose behind!" shouted back Ricky naughtily.

Manaki temporarily stopped as Ricky and Kinochi got out of sight.

Manaki smiled. "That girl is something.." thought Manaki.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Kinochi reached her house in record time. Rick put Kinochi down as he said, "Wasn't that fun?"

"Yea," said Kinochi, panting."Real fun. Thanks for the 'ride'."

Suddenly, Manaki came out of nowhere and pulled Kinochi to a corner.

"Hey!" said Ricky. "Where are you guys going?"

"Nothing," replied Manaki as she gave a cheeky smile. "We're going to have some 'girl' talk."

Ricky sweatdropped.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"I think my brother has eyes for you," said Manaki as she grinned.

"H-huh??" said Kinochi as she went scarlet red. "Why would you s-say that??"

"No normal guy would just carry up a girl and bring her home you know," said Manaki, still grinning. "I know my brother. Whoever he has eyes on I will know."

"Well," said Kinochi. "I know you're wrong this time!"

"We'll see," said Manaki."It's time for me and my brother to go now.Goodbye!"

Kinochi waved goodbye as she locked the house gates.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

.:: Monday Morning ::.

Kinochi actually managed to wake up in time to get ready for school.

"Oh damn," thought Kinochi. "Where's my freakin' tie??" She scrambled over a heap of clothes and more miscellanious stuff when she found it. Kinochi sighed in relief.

Kinochi put on the tie and got her school bag. She began to tidy up her hair when she saw the book flipping open again. Kinochi cautiously looked around, just in case if her brother came in the room again.

Kinochi took up the book with the utmost caution as the book began to carve words with blood again.

Falling never felt so -

"So?" thought Kinochi, as she impatiently waited for the word to form."G-?"

"You're not done yet?" said Yourichi, suddenly popping in. "I'm going now okay?"

"Okay!" said Kinochi while she quickly hid the book behind her. She hid it because it was found under her brother's freaking bed! If he saw her holding it, she's going to get into a lot of trouble.

Yourichi exited the room as Kinochi quickly kept the book in her school bag.

"Who knows," thought Kinochi to herself. "Maybe I'll get to find out later."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Kinochi boredly stared out at the school window as the teacher rambled on about something.

"Hey," thought Kinochi. "Maybe I should take out the book now."

Kinochi slowly reached for her bag when suddenly her teacher called her name. Kinochi stiffened in fright.

"So Kinochi," said the teacher. "Would you like to do it?"

Kinochi had no frigging idea of what the teacher was talking about. But she dared to risk. Kinochi replied, "Yes..?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Regrettion poured all over Kinochi as she carried a mountain of books. It turned out that the teacher wanted someone to help him carry the all the students books.

"Oh I'm so dumb," thought the frustrated Kinochi.

As Kinochi neared a flight of stairs, Kinochi tripped over a book that had fallen from the mountain of books.

"Watch out!" said a voice, coming from the lower part of the stairway.

Kinochi started falling down, down, down, eventually landing on a bigger surface of the stairs. Kinochi had collided into the person that was warning her.

"Akio-kun?"

Chapter 4 : Well, See What Happened

Bleh.. It's the holidays so you can't blame me for writing retarded stories so fast.
Lol. Who is the person with sapphire eyes?
I'm suppose to know. I'm the author. =.="
Whatever.. on with the chapter! :D

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Who are you?" said Kinochi as she looked up onto the brunette-haired boy.

"Who else do you honestly think?" said the boy with a mischievous grin."I'm a kidnapper."

Kinochi was speechless and didn't know what to do. The boy started laughing maniacally.

"Wow you're so gullible!" said the boy as he laughed."Do you honestly think that kidnappers reveal themselves?"

Since Kinochi thought he was a kidnapper, she felt stupid when she heard what he said. True, he did made some sense.

"Hey..." said Kinochi suddenly.

"Yes?" inquired the boy as he tried to stop laughing.

"How did you know me?" said Kinochi. "Why do you know my nickname that Onii-tan gave me? Who are you?"

"Well," said the boy as he managed to hold back his laughter."Let me introduce myself. My name is Rick and I'm Yourichi's classmate. Your brother asked me to escort you home."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Rick held the umbrella as he and Kinochi started chatting.

"So.." began Kinochi. "How did you get to know my brother?"

"Well," said Rick."It was during physical education. Me and your brother were suppose to show some of our classmates how to play basketball. At first we pretended to be retards to annoy our teacher but when teacher asked us to be more 'active'.."

Rick then started laughing. Kinochi got puzzled.

"Our teacher got annoyed by our hyper-ness till he turned red in the face!" said Rick with a grin. "He was so freaking mad! He took the basketball and challenged your brother to a match!"

Kinochi then thought of something. Wow, teachers have evil and bad students nowadays. The spitting image of Vance popped up, then Kinochi kicked it out of her mind.

"Who won?" asked Kinochi, wondering whether her brother went easy on the teacher or not.

"Your brother of course," said Rick."He's the best in our class, although I daresay I can beat him," added Rick jokingly.

Kinochi laughed. Her brother was always like that. Always ready to be the retard, yet ready to be the bully too. Also considerate. It was nice for her brother to actually ask someone to escort her.

"Is this your house?" asked Rick after several minutes of walking. "Your bro did give the address but I lost it."

"Yea," said Kinochi, giving a grateful smile. "Thanks for escorting me!"

Kinochi unlocked the gate lock and ran in. Rick just smiled.

"Hey," thought Rick to himself. "She's pretty cute." Rick started walking away from the house when suddenly Kinochi came out again.

"Hey Rick!" said Kinochi. "Since you call me Kochi, can I call you Ricky?"

Rick smiled in amusement. Wow, what goes through the mind of this girl?

"Okay!" replied Rick as he waved. "Bye Kochi!"

"Bye Ricky!" said Kinochi as she went in once more.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

.:: On A Fine Saturday Morning ::.

Kinochi got ready to go out with her best friend Emiko-chan. She was wearing a green lacy shirt with long blue jeans with yellow star-shaped clips to tie some parts of her hair. She brushed her hair till it was shiny.

"And I'm done!" said Kinochi to herself in satisfaction. She hung over her bag across her body as she headed to go out of the bedroom. Then she heard a similar sound.

She turned around as her eyes landed on the dreaded book.

The Book Of Castastrophe opened as the pages started flipping...

Kinochi, being as scared as she was, started walking to the book. Once more, it started carving in blood.

Don't you see me?
Am I blind to you?
Never could you comprehend this,
Cause a riddle it must be,
Even you can never understand it till you find it!

Obviously, Kinochi did not understand. Beweildered, she just left without another thought.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Kinochi-chan!" said Emiko."You're late!"

"I'm sorry!" said Kinochi, panting."I pratically ran to get here! Chill already, okay?"

"Whatever!" said Emiko as she pulled Kinochi's hand. "Let's get going!"

Emiko dragged Kinochi till something stopped her in her tracks. There was the blaring of music and on the stage three people with hoodies were break dancing. The crowd was cheering and there was the clapping of hands.

"AWESOME!" said Emiko."When I grow up, I want to do break dancing!"

Kinochi looked at her with a weird expression. Who knew Emiko liked break dancing? But true, these three people were good, especially the middle one.

The middle guy started to break dance faster and the two hoodie people beside him allowed him to take attention. As the attention grew more, he started doing more tricks and twists until..

His hoodie came off. The two people were startled, for obviously this isn't suppose to happen. The middle guy had hair revealing since his hoodie came off.

"....Vance?" uttered Kinochi in amazement.

Chapter 3 : Now What's Next?

Haha.. Here comes the update of a crazy story chapter! =D
This is so freaking overdue... >.< MUAHAHAHA.. ^.^" On with the story!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The whole class attention turned to the scenario that was happening. Although how much the teacher was boiling hot with temper, the class didn't take even a notice of him. It was like pin-drop silence.

"You wanted me to kiss you now didn't you?" said Vance, with a smirk on his face. Kinochi, who had been closing her eyes all the time, opened her eyes. First she saw the whole class looking, then she saw Vance's evil smirking face.

"I so didn't want you to kiss me!" said Kinochi indignantly.

"Oh really," said Vance, purposely moving closer to her."I bet I can make you fall in love with me."

"I'm never falling in love with a idiot like you Vance!" said Kinochi in a flurry. "A liar and a fool!"

The class whom was watching the whole scene started laughing. Unfortunately, Akio and Emiko started to laugh too. Kinochi began to redden with embarrassment for Akio was laughing at her. But Vance misunderstood her reaction.

"Aww Kinochi loves me now doesn't she?" said Vance, faking a sympathic smile.

"No I don't!" said Kinochi, with frustration. "I'll never fall for anyone like you! You can bet a million dollars on that you-"

A piercing sound was heard as the students started groaning. It turned out that the teacher had taken a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard.

"Silence you insolents!" said the teacher, with anger. "A word more and you all will stay back for detention after school!"

The students stopped laughing and Vance obeyed the teacher for once. He sat at his place, his smirk was still glued on his face. The teacher started teaching the students but suddenly he paused.

"Before I forget," said the teacher. "Vance and Kinochi, for physical education, you two sit on the bench. No playing allowed."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I hate Vance," said Kinochi to Emiko as she finished eating her last biscuit. "He's so annoying, and a big fat liar."

"Vance can't be that bad right?" said Emiko. " What if he didn't want to leave you?"

"Yeah right," said Kinochi. " As if Vance was ever that good."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kinochi sighed as she sat on the bench. All the other girls were playing volleyball. Great, it happens to be her favourite game. So she looked over to the boys' side, where a heated basketball game was up.

To her great suprise, Akio was playing basketball today. Usually he prefers football or badminton. Kinochi began to watch the game in glee.

"I can see Akio-kun in action," thought Kinochi as sparkles started forming around her.

Akio started running to the other side of the basketball court. The basketball is in his hands. He begins to take a far away shot as the opponents approached him. Oh wait! It was a fake! Akio gave an evil grin as he swiftly passed the opponents. By the time this happened during the game, the girls which was playing volleyball started to watch the match.

" Wow!" said a girl. "Amazing!" More exclaims were heard when suddenly a silence occured.

Suddenly Akio lost control of the ball and the opponents caught it. The opponents started running to the other end of the court yard. Akio signalled his team to head back as quickly as they could.

The opponent whom was holding the ball got ready to slam dunk. Akio ran faster and faster. As the opponent jumped up to slam dunk, Akio managed to block it. Several girls screamed in excitement.

"Akio-kun is so COOL!!!!" thought Kinochi, with a smile glued on her face. Then her face expression changed.

A hand forced the basketball in as Akio stared in utter shock. The figure took the basketball as he spinned it.

"That was easy now wasn't it," said Vance with a smirk. He had taken off his school blazer and unbuttoned his top button of his shirt. Some of the girls started thinking he's hot. But definitely not Kinochi.

"Hey Vance," said Akio. "You aren't suppose to play now aren't you? So why-"

"Leave him Akio," interrupted Kinochi suddenly. "He's always like that."

"But how would you-" said Akio.

"Don't you worry your head about it Akio,"said Vance with a smug smirk. "Kinochi 'dear' knows all about me. We are l-o-v-e-r-s you know."

"What the-" started Kinochi but got interrupted by a loud intidimating voice.

"VANCE!" boomed out the voice."YOU HAVE DISOBEYED YOUR TEACHER. IN RESULT, DETENTION!"

Uh oh. Busted.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So how's your day," said Yourichi to Kinochi, lazing on a tree in their school compound.

"Great," said Kinochi sarcasticly. "Really great."

"Well," said Yourichi as he got off the tree. "Got to go. I'm in charge of making sure every kid goes home."

"Huh?" said Kinochi, puzzled."You never told me that."

"Scared without your big bro eh?" said Yourichi teasingly. "Don't get kidnapped yea?" Yourichi ended the sentence with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah right!" said Kinochi indignantly. Yourichi just laughed as he said goodbye.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kinochi walked out of the school gates. It was getting pretty late so she began to run.

"And I'm suppose to cook dinner for Onii-tan today," said Kinochi as rain started pelting down.

Unfortunately, she brought no umbrella and she didn't want to get home very late because that's the time when kinappers are about. Kinochi ran as quickly as she could because her current location is very dangerous.

"What if I get kinapped?" thought Kinochi worriedly. But she shook that thought off. "Come on, Kinochi, you can do it!" thought Kinochi to herself. "Hey Kochi dear you're coming with me," said a voice from behind her. Kinochi turned around just to see alluring sapphire blue eyes.

Chapter 2 : Unexpected

Lolx. Thanks for the comments that you people gave me.
And for your info, her brother calls her Kochi instead of Kinochi because it's weird for him to call her Kinochi..
And Yourichi aka her brother is 16 years old.. XD
With no further delays, on with the story!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kinochi could not forget what she saw. It was burnt on her memory. Probably forever.
After she had recovered from her shock, she quickly closed the book as fast as a freaked out person could possible do.

"What's wrong with that book?" thought Kinochi to herself, terrified. "Why is my name in there?! Why in blood?! Why under my brother's freaking bed?!"

After 30 minutes of tormenting herself with these puzzling and troubling questions, she tried to sleep. Though she twisted here and turned there, she can't sleep.

"Wait," thought Kinochi all of a sudden. "Of course I can't sleep. This is my brother's bed."

She began to feel very silly. She climbed up to bed as she fell into a deep slumber.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.:: One Week Later ::.

Kinochi had recovered from her fever after a week. A long week.

"Oh great," said Kinochi. "I missed one whole week of school. What my classmates are going to think about me.."

"They'll probably think you are a lazy good-for-nothing then," said her brother with a big grin on his face. "And then you'll probably have no friends, then you'll start crying and wailing to me begging me to put things right. Then it's the perfect opportunity to blackmail you. I'll definitely ask you to-"

"Don't be so mean to me Onii-tan," said Kinochi, interupting his oh-so-great speech.

"Whatever Kochi," said her brother, taking his school bag. " As your reward for waking up late, I'm not going to wait for you. Ciaou~"

"Wha-" began Kinochi.

Her brother jumped out of the window which was located in their room as he sped off to school.

"Talk about showing off your skills, Onii-tan," said Kinochi with a slightly annoyed face.

Kinochi took a shower and then put on the school clothes. Kinochi, being 13, meant it is going to be her first time going to secondary school.

Her school shirt was white with a sturdy collar with a V-shaped dashes. The tie colour? Well, in this school you can put your favourite coloured tie. Cool don't you think?

The skirt, also represents her favourite colour. Her favourite colour was black so she had a black tie and a black skirt. It stood out well. She wore typical school shoes. As she began walking towards her door, she grabbed her leather bag and hung it over her shoulder.

Her hand reaches onto the doorknob, when she heard a sound.

It sounded like it was crying out to her, begging her to follow or something. Kinochi began to follow the direction of the sound.

"Don't tell me.." thought Kinochi slowly, as each second made her theory seem more convincing. "It can't be, now can it?"

She was right. It's the book. The Book Of Castastrophe.

She began to back away from the book, for that was her first reaction. But then, a wind happened to pass by through the window that was left open by her brother Yourichi. The pages began to flip as it stopped exactly on the page where Kinochi found her name.

Below her name, something began to happen.

It began carving words with blood.

Kinochi felt that she must wait for it to finish writing. So she waited. It didn't take long. This is how it went :-

Something unexpected is about to happen,
Whether you like it or not,
More are to come,
What you least expected will come true no matter what.

"What's that got to mean?" thought Kinochi. She was about to lift up the book when the clock began to chime. "Dang it!" said Kinochi. " I'm going to be late!!!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As she ran up the last fleet of stairs, she slammed the door of her classroom to find out she made it on time.

"Wow Kinochi," said a girl who was apparently sitting on a table with the tone of sarcasm. "You're early."

The girl had black-jet long hair with emerald green eyes that looks like it could glow in the dark. She had a pink tie with a pink skirt which she added "minor touches".

"I've been sick for the whole entire week and that is the kind of greeting I get from you, Emiko-chan?" said Kinochi.

"I'm just joking Kinochi-chan," said Emiko. "Can't joke around is it? Like a bird would die because I said it was lazy.And you know- Hey.. Kinochi-chan? You listening to me?"

Kinochi just spotted Akio, which was Kinochi's crush. She was crushing on him ever since primary school. Emiko sweatdropped.

Suddenly, the classroom door swung open. "I thought I was the latest one of all," thought Kinochi to herself, puzzled. But when she saw the person, her face hardened. Of course he would be late, it's his personality.

A boy with midnight blue hair with dark black eyes stood by the classroom door, with no intention of getting in until the teacher came.

"Alright class, let's begin our lesson," said the teacher. The students started walking to their seats but the blue haired boy just stood there.

"Vance, aren't you going to get moving?" said the teacher to the blue haired boy. No reply.

"Aren't you!" said the teacher, losing his cool.

"Well teach, I will, but allow me to do something," said Vance, as cool as a cucumber.

"Do it quick Vance, or you'll find yourself outside the classroom instantly," said the teacher.

Vance began walking to Kinochi and eventually reached her.

"Long time no see, Kinochi," said Vance to the red-headed girl.

"Stop the chit-chat you insolent!" said the teacher, blowing off steam.

"What do you want.." said Kinochi, about to seat at her place.

"I want to do.." began Vance. "This."

Vance held Kinochi's face with one hand as he swooped down to kiss her.
