Snippet #2381418

Koimi wasn't having what a normal person would call a good day. He woke up late for school and had to sneak out of his house so that his mom wouldn't find out, he had to sit through three periods of boring curriculum because the class rep had eyes on him like a hawk after he showed up, and now he woke up in class to realize that everyone was gone. "Oh good. Your finally awake. Everyone left about an hour ago." The voice of the wolf that was standing in front of him said inside his head.
Koimi looked up at the clock and said aloud, "Why didn't you wake me up? Your a bad imaginary friend, you know that?"
"I keep telling you that I'm not imaginary. I am your familiar."
"Yeah yeah." Koimi retorted as he grabbed his bag and ran out the door. He had ten minutes to get to the video store, the place where he worked, before he would be forced to clock in late. It wasn't the first time this happened. Because he always woke up cranky and asked people not to wake him up in the middle of class he could expect no less then for them not to wake him up even afterwards.

He took a short cut through a couple of alleys and walkways and he was in front of the store in practically no time. Wiping the sweat off his forehead he let out a sigh of relief as he walked towards the store. "Koimi. Stop!" Dima alertly said. The boy stopped in his tracks as a person crashed down to the ground in front of him with a loud thump. As hard as the landing was she was uninjured. 'Wait? Is that a girl from my class?' He thought to himself, surprised by what he'd seen. The girl however, turned towards him slowly and acted as if she'd been caught in the act of doing something she wasn't suppose to be and said, "Uh... Yo... Heh... What's uh, what's up?"
Koimi blinked at her a couple of times, trying to process what had just happened. "What's up?" He asked, still confused. When he got a better look at her he recognized her as Kaori Iwakami. He never really talked to her much, but she was always called next to his name in role call and homework turn in. "Kaori? What do mean what's up? You just flew down from the sky!!!" He stated. Surely this wasn't a normal everyday occurrence. Where they lived, nothing out of the norm ever happened unless you count the beam of light a few nights ago. Dima growled and glared at her staring her down. "She's just like you. I'm sure she has a familiar too." He told Koimi.
