Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Who's Shuichi? ❯ 25 ( Chapter 24 )

Sometimes I feel you're not listening
Sometimes I feel you don't understand
But I think I've got the answer
Already know what you're gonna say

Chorus:
`Cause I'm just a little girl you see
But there's a hell of a lot more to me
Don't ever underestimate what I can do
Don't ever tell me how I'm meant to be

You say I'm just a little girl, just a little girl
How can I compare? What do I know?
What have I got to share?
But there's nothing in this world, nothing in this world
That could hold me down, can't you hear me?
Don't you understand
That I wanna be myself, wanna be the girl,
Wanna be the one that you can rely on
How I wish that you could see all there is of me
How I long to hear that you take me
For who I am

`Cause I'm just a little girl you see
But there's a hell of a lot more to me
Don't ever underestimate what I can do
Don't ever tell me how I'm meant to be

`Cause I'm just a little girl you see
But there's a hell of a lot more to me
Don't ever underestimate what I can do
Don't ever tell me how I'm meant to be

Sometimes I feel you're not listening
Sometimes I feel you don't understand

{chorus x 2}

 

Amy Studt- Just a little girl

A/N: sorry it's been long since I've updated - it's I've been

Busy as hell! Being the Christmas season an' all #laughs# anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

“Dad?” Is that all I can say? After 16 years of not knowing who or where he was - he shows up. I'm not compiled to play `happy families' just now. After all, he's the bastard that left my mum!

 

“Now Mina don't just walk away; I want to talk to you. Please? It's very important”

I faced him with lack of interest.

“What could possibly be so important that you strode up to my school and waited till I showed up huh?”

“I knew your mother wasn't going to tell you….I'll explain to you if want to join me for a coffee….”

 

Meh, why not? I wasn't going to go anywhere interesting, apart from the arcades to play tomb raider and `shoot the zombies'.

Man that would be sooo much better; since I would imagine that every single one of those mindless wannabes as Sui and her cronies.

I'm still concerned about Kurama though. I mean, the letter had that kinda creepy vibe and y'know I haven't seen him much - always in that bloody garden day after day….I'm not surprised if he hasn't become one yet! (Hmmm a daisy or a pansy…. #sniggers#).

 

“Mina? Mina you're going to -”

#BAM!#

“-Smack into that phone booth…really girl, you've got to stop walking around with your head in the clouds. People are going to wonder about your mental health….”

“#rubbing her bruised forehead# yeooow…yeah, i'll just shove a mental post-it note in my memory banks `kay?”

“You're just like your mother, c'mon. you just sit down here whilst I'll get the drinks inside…”

 

If he says ONE more time that I'm like my mother, I'm gonna opt for plastic surgery! C'mon, the first few compliments were great, but after the sixth time - you're near enough smacking your head against the café window; yeah, yeah GO ON! Stare at the deranged child window-shoppers! It's not like you can afford your own shopping anyways…..

 

Lemonade? Aw well… I was gonna ask if I could have a latte with loads of cream and sprinkles…but I guess lemonade was safer - for the shop owner.

 

“As you know, I'm your father from Sakura's -your mother's- university relationship…”

“Yeah, and you're also the bastard that got her up the duff and fucked off am I right about that too dad?”

“I suppose I deserved that…anyways, it's illegal for a student to have an intimate relationship with a teacher. That's why I couldn't be with your mother - not even now because I've taught her.”

“You're having laugh, I don't know what school you worked at but where I am, there's pupils having it away with the faculty staff in the canteen! And mum wonders why I won't have school dinners!?”

“Seriously??”

“Why do you think they have teacher's training day?”

 

Ah the looks upon my newly-enlightened father's face at the harsh reality of public school life….I wish I had my camera.

“A-anyways…I'm here now to be here for you - as your father I'm to help you steer into the right direction because you're such a bright girl. I can't stand by and watch both of you struggle both financially and academically!”

 

“#lifts an eyebrow at him# but you could back when mum was seventeen. Kina of a hypocrite there aren't you? According you mum you tried to worm your way back in when I was five years old…any reasons?”

 

I was grilling him like a kipper….if he's gonna play saint then he's gonna have to get pass my interrogations and trust me - I should be a lawyer! Anyone wanna hire me? I could do with a few extra yen….since I somehow mashed up mum's hairdryer this morning…trying to melt my old toy army men….

 

“Only for the fact that I was a P.E teacher Mina…in a very popular private school. Blackmail was quite popular in those days - if you were that cold hearted which she wasn't.”

“Ah, good point”

Dam and I've near enough finished my lemonade! No wonder why they do so well here than my works…

“Are you trouble? I can't help but notice the ferocious scars on your arms -”

“Leave it, that doesn't concern either you or mum. But no, I'm not in any sort of trouble…`I think' ”

 

I don't care how concerned those jade eyes were, I wasn't going to tell him or anyone who didn't have hardly any spiritual awareness about me; being carved-up by a besotted fox demon that's also a human known as Kurama! No way! Nuh-uh!

 

“Hm, why don't you show me around here eh? I don't live around these parts anymore. In fact, you could say that I'm from a neighbouring city. I'm sure you've heard about Yokohama geography…”

“…………….”

“It's um….about 30km from here, has loads of shops, known for international reasons…?”

“……………”

“Never mind”

 

Meh, not my fault if my teachers send me out the minute I walk in. I wonder how Yusuke copes with it all? Apart from yelling and storming out. #sniggers#

I still reeeeeeeally want to speak to Kurama….hmmm…but I can't because A) he's at school and B) he told me not to in the letter.

 

Who says I listen to anyone anyways?

 

So, I'm showing my dad around, he's telling me about what he used to do when he was here (and every sentence has my mother in it…is he one love-sick pup or what?). I'm trying to avoid certain spots that might be of a threat - like the post office, or that nursery with all those hyper kiddies inside(it's like watching The Mummy Returns all over again! Y'know? With all those pygmies in it).

 

“And that over there is the local theatre/cinema - I wouldn't recommend sitting on the last two rows…. Oh there's our local drunkard Mr Sake”

“Hey! I'm not a drunkard you little wrench!”

“See? He's always kidding around…heh heh…#sweatdrops#”

 

I had better move along before he starts getting violent and demand for food coupons. My dad looked on with that `these people are disturbed' expression; ah he'll get used to it - or he could go back home crying like a little whiny girl.

 

Which reminds me, I wonder if the girls at the Shuichi fan club know about me living at his house? I suppose it's a good thing that they don't because one time, a girl from a different school had confessed her love for him….I wonder if she's out of that coma yet? They literally traumatised her into a coma….that's bad. Low even.

 

“I really must talk to you seriously why I'm here - I've been trying to tell you all day but it seems that you have a habit of making people digress hm?”

“Well, yeah…want a mint?”

“Ok - hang on Mina, #sighs# just sit down here on this park bench ok? And actually listen to what I've got to say alright?”

 

Looking at the skies I would say that it's evening - about 4-ish. The birds are still yapping and some of the little gits have finished getting an education and the local policeman is getting pestered by the O.A.Ps….

 

Mum finishes work about half past six and I've got to meet up with her (hopefully Maki won't be there because he won't shut up even if you threaten him with a bag of frozen chops!) later after this.

 

“So, what's this you've been trying to drag out of that voice box of yours hm? You've been at wits end not to mention the constant fidgeting; spit it out dad. What is that you so desperately want to tell me?”

 

“W-well…both me and Sakura got a court letter not so long ago…it was about the custody agreement. It was decided that from the age of sixteen - since you'll be leaving to go and enter high school. From your recent results you could pass with flying colours. In fact there's a private school in Yokohama that's more than happy to accept you.”

 

“Basically you're going to tell me that until I'm 18 I'm going to live with my estranged dad - meaning you to a place where I'm gonna be spending my life alienated from not only my mother; but my friends? Gee, has anyone on this god dam planet ever asked me what I would like to do? Just this once?”

 

I'm angry…not mad angry or pissed off angry - ironic angry; as in `I don't believe this shit is happening to me'. I had no say again. There's nothing I could really do pff…#sarcastic# your honour I would like to say as a delinquent that I want to stay here where I'm most comfortable and most loved. Don't worry I've not self mutilated myself your honour but I have a pet that has a thing of ripping me to shreds…

 

Like that's gonna work. #sighs# well I've started to walk towards mum's works known as the bonsai kwik-e-mart.

 

I see Kuwabara running up to me, dam he looks as if he had a fight with a tumble dryer!

“Kuwabara don't tell me, a gang jumped ya?”

He nods, a few bones could be heard creaking but as usual, he's laughing (or grinning, kinda hard to tell with that face of his).

 

“he heh yeah, but it nothing compared to Urameshi's beatings. Uhhhh you going over to Genkai's tomorrow?”

 

“Can't, I'm not sure where I'm going to wake up nowadays. It seems to me that as soon as I get friends I can count on….uh, I have to be somewhere Kuwabara. I'll see you at school ok?”

 

It was awkward speaking/acting to him like that considering he's practically spiritually awared an' all. He can pick up when there's something wrong…shame our old mechanic wasn't like that #frowns#

 

“Mina if there's anything - and I mean ANYTHING…the great Kuwabara is there to help you.”

“#laughs# ok Kazuma…will do #smiles and carries on walking#”

 

Hm, I've never called him that before…#shrugs# aw well…ah, mum's workplace!

 

Why is Kurama there?
