" Craig whats wrong ?" hands suddently covering Craig's eyes " guest who..~~"
soft laughs and small smile touching his lips " let see that busty cheerleader i wanted to ask out ? or maybe teh school nurse coming on to me..." Craig grins knowing he asking for trouble form his friend Misha for talking like that.
"You male pig!" Misha slap the back of Craig's head and leaning back in her chair, her mid length back hair in a ponytial, her esy look at his gently" why you down today ?"
" um?, oh that today my birthday," turing side ways in his chiar so he can talk and look at her
" shouldn't you be happy and all hyped for your party today then ? and how come i did not get a invit ?" Misha looks at him and poking Craig's chest with a finger roughly" well mister?"
"Sorry there not going to be a party i not had a birthday party in a few years, not since when i was ten my parents died on it..."Craig looks at her " and today we going to go clean and visit their graves so i not make it to pratice today so tell everyone else at the kendo club"
" oh that right I forgot about that, sorry for bring it up" Misha looks at Craig and pats his shoulder softly" I'll tell everyone for you why you gone this afternoon, thought a few i'm sure comlain if you not there you seem to be gifted in using swords during pratice,. thought i'm suppired you joined"
" Well when i started here i happen to walk by when you where praticing" Craig smiles abit and leaning back abit more* when I saw your sword paly i could not help myself and stpped in, and come to think aobut it that when we first meet wasn't it?" Craig smiles abit
"ya that right when we first meet, your first day in school walked in to the club room and i did not know you where there till i turned around and ended up hitting you across the shoulder with the bo-ken" Misha laughs abit " i will say you look abit rough but you did manage to block most of the swords force for someone that never took a class before, not to menton you did not even cry"
"well it did not hurt that much. you got me a cold soda for my shoulder and we started to talking after all the i'm sorrys where exchanged" Craigs laughs abit " Since that time we been good friends huh ? after my savage beatting. it also whoed me you pretty goof with he wooen sword and i start to come after school watching and was it a month later joined?"
"yep" Misha nods " and you handed some fo the older students asses to them in very short order. you seem to have good talten wiht the swords and learned very fast. thought you told me many times you never before ever seen let alone used a sword. that why for your first month they gave you two bo-ken so you could pratice anytime you wanted, it seemed to most of us you worked ebtter with 2 blades then one. very strange but it seems to work for you."
" ya well it felt weird to me having a free hand and i just thought why not a second sword? it give me double the attack or defence power in my mind. thought thats not the style we use during formal matches. it has helped others improve alot and learn to dodge the extra attacks i lay in on someone. not to menton i was very suppirsed you the club captain when I meet you.
" Well you enver asked back then when we first meet: Misha laughs abit" you lok complety dumbfounded at that time to, i still have a picture of it somewhere"
" still you never going to let me live that down huh ?" Craig grumps abit" i still got to learn to win against you someday too we what my 0 to your 100 wins?"
" yep and had you buy me lunch for each time saved me alot of money. why want another rematch soon ? think you could afford it?" Misha smile evily at Craig daring him
" oh no not yet got a idea how i might win next time jsut needs alitle more work, maybe in a week" Craig grins" if i won remember i got free lunch for a week and you got to help me with anyhting i ask, as per our deal"
" ya ya i hear you, thought you not won yet and never will against me " Misha said but thinking to herself " he gotten alot better but he jsut no focused enough, if he really tried i think he would win easily. he got alot of talent and something else about him he seem to claim collected even when losing, he studies he oppent wiiht out knowing he does. i wonder why he not psuhed himself to his best. what can eb holding him back." Misha turing her head abit and looks donw out teh window seem a black butterfly go by the window " hey Craig isn;t aht rare looking? a black butterfly" Misha lean and looks closer" i neer seen somehting liek it before"
" butterfly?" turing in his sate and looking out the window abit and looking around before seeing the butterfly flying by but abit hazey" ya i ener seen that before why it look hazy? windows dirty?"
" maybe at you point of veiw but i see it clearly enough" Misha watching it fly away and sitting back in her chair" well time to get ready for class work hard now. do not need one of our best students in the club to be kicked out for poor grades now do we?"
"ya ya i hear ya, if i get kicked out you never forgive me for it" Craig turing around and get ready for the calsses" and you ebtter not slack off either other wise i think you be slipping miss i get A and perfect all the time"
" shut up or next time in club i beat you down again" Misha glares at him
" ok ok geez chill" Craig sighs and starts his class, wonder to himself "was it me or did somehting move in the coner of the window? na just must be what today is, that why i'm abit grumpy and jumpy. still i thought i hear something like from that time..."
From the shadows something moved watching Craig closely it red eyes seem to gleam with joy" there he is, it been awwhile but seems i can finish my meal finaly after all this time..." the Hollow claims up to the roof and waits knowing his where Craig and his friend Misha eat and talk during there lucn break, it hiss abit to itself" soon lunch break starts i can start mine..."
