Chapter 2 - The Happenings

As Shoko went to the check-out desk, a strange feeling came over her, a feeling

that she had never felt before. It was like a fierce energy that rippled

through her entire body. She found it pleasurable, but at the same time it

scared the living daylights out of her. For some reason, her eyes wandered to

the book she was holding. The one titled Animation: A Mission. She made a move

to look through it, but decided to save the thrill for Grandma's house, it was

bound to be a dragging bore. While she was waiting in line, she looked around

and found two really strange guys, one that was probably not a day over twenty,

and the other most likely just one or two years older than her, staring at her.

They didn't even attempt to look away when she glared back at them. 'Hmph, how

rude! It's mean to stare at a fifteen year old girl! Uh-oh, they might be a duo

of perverts! Aaaaaaahhhhh! Hurry up you stupid line, so I can go home!' She

thought. Once it was her turn, which seemed like eons to Shoko, she dumped all

the books on the check-out desk. She could practically feel them watching her

with amusment. 'Grrrrrrrr!' She thought as she stood there. When the librarian

came to the last book, she hesitated. "Are ya sure ya wanna check out this

book, Hon?" She asked. 'Why does she sound scared, what's the matter with this

lady!' Shoko thought. "Yes, is there any reason why I shouldn't?" Shoko asked

as she fixed her eyes on the lady in front of her. Again she could feel the

eyes of the two people leaning against the wall boring into her. "well, it's

just that.." The lady leaned in closer "really weird things happen to the

people who check out this book, and they don't really get rid of the problem

even when they have the book returned." She whispered as she leaned back. 'Did

this woman just get released form the lunatic asylum?' Shoko shuddered at the

thought. "Look, whatever it is with this book, I'm sure I can deal with the

problem." She smiled as she whispered back. The lady gave her the famous "OK,

it's your funeral, not mine!" look. Right there and then Shoko felt like

slapping that old hag silly. She could practically feel the boys behind her

smirking and trying to hold back their laughter. As the woman checked out the

book, Shoko took the chance to look around, careful not to look directly at the

weirdos who were, obvoiusly looking directly at her. She turned back to the

desk, put the books inside her bag, and left. She noticed that the two boys

were following her. She decided to ignore them. She found Tomoyo's blue car

outside and immediatly ran to it. Shoko gasped and said "Quick, those guys have

been looking at and following me eversince i saw them in the library, probably

longer." Tomoyo groaned, then sighed and said "Those are some of our distant

relatives. I mean the REALLY distant ones." Shoko's mouth dropped when she

heard this. The "wonderful, entrancing, and handsome men" were these

IDIOTS! "These stupid and rude guys are the guys Grandma's pestering you to

marry?" Shoko couldn't conceal her sympathy for her elder sister. "Well, smart

one, if you weren't so caught up with me, you would've heard Grandma perstering

you to marry the younger one, so HA!" Tomoyo said in triumph. Shoko started

gagging involuntarily. "Awww, surely we're not that bad, Shoko." a voice said

in the back.
