InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Red, A Mockery ❯ Prologue: Stupid Play! ( Chapter 1 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Rin Takami shoved her way through the crowds of Shikon no Tama high school, and made her slow way to the announcement board to see what all the fuss was. It was unisual for the sudent body to gather up in one spot all at the same time unless an assembly was going on, and curiousity was getting the better of her. A strange hand reached out and grabbed hers to pull her forward and she wasn't sure whether to shreak in shock or breath a sigh of thanks. Upon seeing who it was though she gave that sigh wind and smiled up at her helper.
Her best friend in the entire world, Souta Taijiya smiled down at her and wrapped and arm around her to drag her closer to the board. For once she was gratelful that he was so adept at sneaking in, out, and through places, especially cramped ones. Although she knew she would tease him later for his ninja-like moves.
And then she was there, staring in shock at the reason the rest of the student body was so excited.
A play? They were swarming about and generating a ton of heat that can only come from tons of people standing too close to each other for comfort over a ridiculous play?!?!?!?!
Oh, but not just any play. Her eyes fell to the bottom of the poster. It was a play being held by the drama department. And, to make matters worse, it was supposed to be a modernized "Little Red Riding Hood."
Her mouth fell open in shock, then twisted in disgust.
How dare they try to rewrite a story hundreds of years old!?!?! How dare they revise a children's classic for their petty whims and actually expect the school to be willing to participate, and go see it?!?!?! Was the board of directors a bunch of incompetant ninnies?!?!?!?!
She took one look at the excitedly chattering crowd around her and rolled her eyes.
But of course they were ninnies. And obviously the entire student body was too.
She became vaguely aware of Kohaku saying something to her, and she tried to focus on it.
"....looks like blocks two, three, and seven are expected to be the participants in it. I guess that's good seeing as the first two are ninth and tenth graders, and the last is eleventh and twelth. I think they're trying to promote student unity thanks to different grade levels not speaking to each other."
Blocks two, three and seven? But...she and Kohaku were in block two! That meant....
"I'm gonna try my hand at stage decorator. But if they make me act I'll do it..."
She slugged him in the arm right as a rather large fellow with silvery white hair backed into her after having one of his friends shove him. Kohaku quickly removed his arm and put out a hand to help the guy keep his balance and from crushing Rin between them. He didn't seem to need the help, or aknowledge it as two large arms came forward and shoved the person who had pushed him.
"Don't fucking touch me Jakotsu!" He said sharply, his voice cold. Rin glared at his large back, disliking the idea of some careless giant trying to squish her, even if it was on accident. She grabbed his arm and he whirled around, oddly cold golden eyes scanning the crowd for the person who had grabbed him. She coughed to gain his attention and he looked down, his eyeborws shooting up in shock.
She fisted her hands on her hips.
"Look, I know you're friend pushed you, but could you be a little more practiced with your balance and refrain from trying to squish people?" She said sharply. His teeth flashed in a dangerous grin, exposing two pointed canines. Coupled with the markings on his face and his unusual coloring Rin guessed he was a youkai.
"Oh of course miss." He said, his detached voice sounding faintly sarcastic. "I'll remember that the next time a midget like you remembers to stay out of my way."
He turned back around and walked off, leaving Rin with her mouth hanging open from shock.
Why of all the nerve.....
"So I was thinking you'd make an excellent Red Riding Hood, seeing as she is a child in the story, and you're only 5'2." Came Kohaku's voice. She turned and gave him a tense smile.
"Maybe...." She answered him.
'When hell freezes over....' She thought.
oooooooooo
I know, I know, ridiculously short chapter, I'm working on another Sess/Rin fic, as well as a Draco/Hermione one, but the idea popped up in my head and I thought 'Why not?'' And then of course, I just had to write this rather pathetic proloque. So now I have three fanfics I'm obsessed with, as well as about four original stories I'm working on, coupled with a roleplay a friend and I are doing.... I think it's safe to say I write too much. And I read too much. And that I should probably slow down a little. But like I said, this idea went in my head and would not go away. I even threatened to beat it up with a stick! ::nods::
So yeah, read and review please. I promise to update my other stuff too! I won't forget!
