Chapter 1 part 3!
ok, this is the last part of chapter one and its kinda short, so im gonna leave you a real post today too. um...ok, not much to talk about....my sister must be schitzophrenic. earlier today she was super pissy and stuff and was slamming doors and trowing stuff on the ground over me telling her to pick up the lawn so i can mow it, but then jsut a couple hours later she wants me to come play with her on the trampoline and she's all nice, but annoying! anyway, im a softy, so i did. i had fun too. i dunno, i guess my whole family is like that. crazy. about the story: to be honest, i dont totally know the story line yet! im just going with where it takes me. i dont think im gonna spend as much time in this world as i had originally planned. pretty soon, perhaps chapter 3, i will move into Giran. perhaps after the story will be the best time to come up with a title. um...what else...this part wil be really short. at least in my opinion. tomorrow i will write chapter 2 and post it if i can. if not, you'll all have to wait! ok, story!

Imaku is off like a shot, sprinting top speed while dodging people and objects left and right along the crowded sidewalk. Although Imaku has the early lead, Kaji was driving over the speed limit and handling like a professional circuit racer. They come to a stoplight and it is red. Kaji knows he can’t risk running it with Suki in the car and screeches to a halt, but Imaku gets across by leaping from car to car, and then keeps on running. He doesn’t take advantage of his lead and just keeps on running as hard as he can, panting all the way. He spots Kaji coming on quickly and dashes across the street, causing cars to swerve and screech, blocking the road. Kaji slows down but doesn’t stop, and soon makes his way through the mess of honking commuters. Because of Kaji’s delay, Imaku now has a substantial lead and it lasts for quite a while.
About ten miles later, Imaku spots Kaji closing the gap between them. He is beginning to tire but the car isn’t. Soon Kaji pulls up right next to him and Suki roles down the window.
“I’d like a cheeseburger, onion rings and a medium coke!” she calls, then sticking her tongue out with a laugh. Imaku flashes her another roguish grin, that wild looks still in his eyes, then suddenly leaps onto the roof of the car with a resounding “thunk” inside it.
“Hey! No fair!” shouts Suki, looking up at him from the window.
“I’d like a triple hamburger with a large Mountain Dew, please!” Imaku calls back mockingly.
“In your dreams, you cheap bastard!” yells Kaji from the driver’s seat, never looking away from the road. “I’m gonna try and shake him, Suki!” He begins to swerve and fishtail wildly, but Imaku somehow manages to stay on.
“DAMMIT! I knew I shouldn’t have gotten that bike rack!” Kaji curses.
“Do you even have a bike?” asks Suki with a puzzled look on her face.
Soon Kaji gave up trying to shake Imaku and they pulled into a parking spot. Just before they came to a complete stop, Imaku jumped from the roof onto the side walk, turned around to face the other two, and raises up both arms into the air.
“The Winna!” he shouts.
“Cork it, you cheater” says Kaji sullenly.
“You’re just jealous because I’m cleverer”
“First off, is that even a word?! Secondly, I was hung over anyway.”
“You weren’t drivin’ like it!” says Imaku, prancing around like a little school boy with his tail wagging all over the place.
“Well if you hadn’t…” Kaji starts
“SHUT UP, both of you!” shouts Suki, interrupting Kaji in mid-sentence. “Let’s just go inside, ok boys?” she adds in a mock-gentle tone.
“Okay…” reply both the boys quietly. Imaku slows down and files in behind Suki.
“You’re still buyin’, Kaji!” Imaku suddenly calls tauntingly, before taking off running.
“You bastard!” yells Kaji, chasing after him.
“Great…” Suki, who was knocked off balance, mutters as she watches the two friends chase each other all over the mall. She then smiles and gets up to join them. All three are running and laughing, until Kaji falls down the “up” escalator

i kept chapter 1 light hearted on purpose. chapter 2 will be a little less, and it will steadily move darker and darker. with little spots of comic relief here and there. perhaps a little romance? i want to make a really well-rounded story with deep themes. there are more charcters on the way too! latr!
