HUH?!

Later that day Gabimaru was relaxing outside laying on his back in the backyard of Ms. Bushdia's house enjoying the skies he missed.

( I took advantage of this beautiful scenery. Anything is better than that place I was trapped in for 5 years. The shiny stars glowing in the dark skies are amazing.)

Gabi was busy admiring the sky while Kenji was coming behind him to join Gabi. " Are you telling me you were out here this whole time looking into the sky? That sounds boring compared to what most teenagers do in their free time." Kenji started up a conversation.

Gabi laughs quietly at Kenji. He missed Kenji's outgoing personality. His presence alone can light up a room. " Well, I guess I'm not like most teenagers and I don't have any friends to 'hang out' with."

"Touché. Well, I'm glad you're back, kid. Aiko has been a crazy wreck since you left."

Gabi felt sad that he had to leave her behind but it was for the better he also felt dishonest because once they all settled down earlier Kenji and Aiko asked what happened to him during those 5 years and he lied and said he didn't remember anything that happened. Gabi wanted to keep that a secret and he didn't know how to tell them he was murdering curses to get stronger either, they might look at him differently.

" I'm sorry if I was too weak to handle when you sealed half my curse energy…."

" You are not weak, Gabimaru. Don't doubt your strength anymore."

Gabi lifted his head off the ground and sat up " I don't plan on being weak anymore Kenji. I want to join Jujutsu High to be a strong sorcerer, I don't want people to look down on me anymore."

Kenji chuckles at how serious he is, " And you will be. Aiko will talk to the higher-ups to let you in but you know they are not particularly fond of you so you might deal with a lot of hardships."

Gabi turns his head to face Kenji. " I know that but I don't plan on backing down. I will rise through the ranks to prove everyone wrong, I want to take the high road and not stoop down to their level."

Kenji pats Gabi's shoulders, "You are officially a young man, you're not a little boy anymore Gabi. Right Aiko?"

The two turn their heads to the back to see Aiko staring at them, " You grew up so much, young master Gabi. I'm so proud of you." She smiles at him and you can see the love in her eyes as they shine bright.

****

It was the next day and today was the day that Gabi was going to register for school. The boy was sleeping peacefully in his sleep, he hadn't had a good sleep in years. The comfort from the bed was helping his back, the soft pillow that his head was resting on, and the covers to cover him up from the cold to feel warm. It felt like heaven for him until Ms.Bushida woke him up.

" GABIMARU!!!" Ms. Bushdia yanked the covers off him and started swinging them on him to wake him up from the bed.

Gabi finally woke up after the fifth time Aiko hit him with covers. He rubbed his eyes and saw the furious red face of Ms. Bushdia with an irritated expression on her face.

"Finally. Go get ready Gabi you're going to school" Ms.Bushdiia informed the teenager and walked out of his room. Gabi was scared after he saw her face. This was the first time he got her that mad and he was walking on eggshells to make sure he didn't piss her off more.

(Geez. Is she on her period?)

Gabi got out of the bed and started getting ready as soon as possible. Once Gabi was finished he came downstairs and saw that breakfast was ready. Ms. Bushdia prepared grilled fish, rice, and natto for the boy.

" Hurry up and eat. We don't have all day boy," she scolded him and rushed him to sit down on the chair.

Gabi was shoving food in his mouth savoring the taste. It's been a long time since he ate something so delicious. When he sucked in that place he had to survive off eating grilled reptiles with no seasoning to make it have some flavor.

" You are going to choke if you push all that food in your mouth!" Ms.Bushdia shouted at him.

Once Gabi finishes swallowing all the food he looks at Ms.Bushdia "You are too old to be yelling, for your age you should be taking everything easy before you break a hip."

Aiko grabbed the broom and whacked him with the stick, " See? I'm not that old to whoop your behind."

Gabi rubbed the back of his head pouting at the woman, "Meanie."

( why are females so vicious?)

Gabi got up and the two headed to the school.

*****

When they arrive at their destination, Aiko tells Gabi to look around the school while she talks to the principal. Gabi follows her order because he doesn't want to deal with her angry side anymore. Gabimaru was walking around not knowing where he was going, half of the place looked like it was vacant and he barely saw people. He decided to go to the vending machine to get something to drink since he had nothing else better to do. He grabbed himself an orange Fanta and walked outside to see nature while he was walking around admiring the greens that surrounded him he bumped into someone causing them to fall on the ground.

" Tsk, watch where you're going, " The girl sucked her teeth at Gabi waiting for him to apologize for making her fall on the dirty ground.

" Here, " Gabi offers his hand but the girl smacks it away from her face,

" Get your filthy hands out of my way. I don't need your help."

Gabi was flabbergasted about how she reacted. He actually thought he was dirty because the way she responded made him feel like that.

" I'm sorry…"

She cut him off, "You should be, " She got off the ground and dusty the dirt off her.

( Oh this girl is a bitch. Ugh out of all the people I ran into one of those. I would rather run into Saturo than her.)

" Huh? I take that back then. I don't feel sorry, " Gabi retaliated back to her.

The girl was stunned and looked behind her to see if he was talking to someone else but when she turned around nobody wasn't there. It was just her and Gabi alone.

" Listen you white-headed freak, do you know who you're talking to like that?" she questions the boy.

Gabi sucked his teeth at her, " I rather have white hair than red hair you flat-chested shrew and I don't give a rat ass of ' who you are' he air quoted that part with his hand.

The girl gritted her teeth " I don't have time for you" She flipped her hair before she walked away a voice near them called out to him

" Gabimaru, you are finally in the school and you will be starting today. Oh hi young mistress," Aiko bowed toward the girl.

Gabi looks at the female and looks back at Aiko "Why are you being friendly to this brat?" Gabi asked and Ms.Bushdia quickly hit his shoulder, " She is Makima, Kenji's daughter the heir of the Saito clan, Gabimaru!" Aiko explained to the boy.

( SHE'S HIS DAUGHTER? THIS BITCH OF A WOMAN? HOW DID GOOFY OLD MAN KENJI CREATED THIS DEVIL)

Gabi's eyes went wide open hearing that and look back at the girl again and he could see her dull face.

"I'm leaving. " Makima lastly said leaving the two by themselves.

" Bitch," Gabi whisper making sure she doesn't hear him but he forgot Ms.Bushdia was next to him.

She hit his shoulder again, " Where is your respect ? You don't call a lady that." she scolded the pouting boy, "Go after her because she is the one who will show you around and you guys are in the same grade and you two will be working together."

( HUH? )

Aiko smacked his arm, "Go child. Hurry up before she leaves and apologize to her," She glared at him and he quickly chased after her.
