“How long are you going to stay lying there?” Crazy Gasses asked him after a while. She was eating her third lizard and had already managed to dirty her white lab coat by wiping her greasy hands on it. Her voice sounded less concerned than simply bored and maybe a bit curious. With crossed legs she sat on her stump showing off her tanned legs and with a whipping movement of the hand she threw the stick with the rest of the grilled lizard at Kyou. The boy didn’t move at all, he hardly even seemed to notice that something had hit his back and bounced off only to fall to the ground where it stuck upright, with the still attached tail of the lizard pointing to the sky while the tongue was rolled out of the head that was probably too hard to eat. Kyou was too tired to move and he didn’t see the point in it. What had running around on the island actually brought him? Nothing! All it did was getting him out of the frying pan and into the fire. And if running away didn’t work he could just as well stay here and wait for trouble to find him for he would at least not be tired from all the running. He had however not taken account of the short temper of Crazy Glasses who was not amused by his silence.
“Are you f* ignoring me?!” The woman uncrossed her legs and stood up. “You arrogant brat! Who do you think you are to just ignore me! Arrogant bastards are the ones I hate most!” Her voice didn’t detain itself by being subtly threatening but went straight for boiling angry. The Crazy Glasses proved again that she had a short fuse. “I think you need another lesson.”
Kyou wasn’t sure where the little whiteboard with the flip chart had come from but he was sure that it hadn’t been there just a moment ago when the Crazy Glasses had punched him on the head to get the attention she thought she deserved. It didn’t really matter. His head was throbbing and a bump started to grow on it, yet he sat there in seiza, the legs folded underneath his tights and his buttocks resting on his heels, his back straight and his hands folded modestly in his lap like a good and well-behaved child, waiting for his lesson.
“So as your Teach I will teach you what your teacher should have teached you but didn’t so I teach you instead!” She told him then added. “Also notice that the past of teach is not teached but taught, but here I used it anyway.”
With a hand she flipped the first page of the flip chart and wrote LESSON 1with a red pen on the top of it.
“Why are we here?” she asked him, yet it was plainly a rhetorical question and she answered it herself without waiting for Kyou’s response. Which suited him just fine for he had no clue why a madwoman like her would be here and not in some mental institution.
“We’re here, or rather I’m here and you will be my assistant, to study the spread of plants on the islands of north blue. Our special focus belongs to the plants which are typical for one island but somehow found their way to other islands without any human influence.”
The scientist started to scribble something on the flipchart while she chatted on and on but Kyou noticed that he was dozing off. Not wanting another bump on his head he tried to stay awake by counting sheep backwards. He was about to lose the fight against his sleepiness when something piqued his interest.
“Currents? Like wind currents?” he asked her, suddenly curious about what she had to say.
Raising an eyebrow about the sudden interest in her topic but answering nevertheless with a small nod and an explanation. “Yes, wind currents. And that TEACH for you if you want to ask something!” She repeated but despite the harsh tone she went on. “I have the thesis that they were strong enough to bring some seeds from the previous island to this one. But some plants might have arrived on the water not the wind.” As Kyou had no interest in seeds or plants whatsoever he hurried to lead her to the topic of his interest. “How do these wind currents arise? Like, what’s causing them? Err.. Teach Sir.”
This time he got a look as if he was the biggest idiot on earth for asking such a question which’s answer should be obvious to all.
“There are a lot of things for that… temperature, differences in air pressure…”
“And how exactly does that happen and when it does how does the wind move all the things around? “ His curious voice sounded more childish than it had done for a long time.
A big smile appeared on her face, one that wasn’t actually threatening or scary, not too much at least. The scribbling rate went up by a lot as the woman started to describe the mechanism and everything related, going deep into the topic and exploring all aspects of it. Rowdy she might be but it was clear that she did love teaching others.
Her explanations however were fast and Kyou hadn’t got any serious education since he was twelve years old, so he had a hard time to follow the complex explanations. Being intelligent just wasn’t enough when you lacked the basics and while Kyou had self-taught himself some things and read a lot of books during his time as a librarian, he had never really went into Physics, which was what he needed now the most.
Luckily he had now a diary, so he took out the black notebook and started to write down everything he could in the hope that the secret of wind manipulation would unwind itself when he got the time to study it quietly for himself. Suddenly it turned quiet as Crazy Glasses stopped her explanations.
“Is that my notebook you are using there.” It wasn’t really a question. “How come you are using the notebook I lost? Or did you steal it from me?” Her smile had now lost all friendly quality. It was showing some very pointy looking canine teeth.
It made BANG and on Kyou’s head grew another bump on top of the first one. “You surely haven’t learned your lesson at all. But now you own me both for the explanation and for the notebook that you’re using.” She grabbed him by the collar. “So, GO AND FIND THAT FLOWER FOR ME!!” And then she threw him. As far as she could.
Walking back the way he had come from, for he didn’t knew which direction he should take otherwise and just let his feet lead him, Kyou soon found himself back at the clearing with the little cabin. This time he noticed some people in front of it since he wasn’t running and had time to watch the scenery. It wasn’t the two black haired men from last time, both of them had vanished without a trace, but some of the people were familiar to Kyou nevertheless.
There was the black and white furball, the first he noticed for he stood out in the green of the grass. The second was a boy with black hair and violet eyes, though Kyou could not see them from this distance. The other two boys were strangers to him. Both of them were watching the one sided fight and Kyou couldn’t help but stop to watch the fight himself from a distance.
“Is that Bat Boy stupid or what? Why did he pick yet another fight?” he wondered. Making enemies wherever one goes was about the best way to get oneself killed, but the Bat Boy didn’t seem to have realize that yet. Kyou pondered why he was fighting now. Maybe his sister got hurt by the panda? Now that he was thinking about her, she was nowhere to be seen. Had she found her brother or was she still wandering the island?
“Good thing that I didn’t pick a fight over that stupid flower, that big furball is really strong.”
“Are you f* ignoring me?!” The woman uncrossed her legs and stood up. “You arrogant brat! Who do you think you are to just ignore me! Arrogant bastards are the ones I hate most!” Her voice didn’t detain itself by being subtly threatening but went straight for boiling angry.
