Book 1 Bitter Harvest

Chapter 2 Jacked !

Ahhh... Setsuko breathed a contented sigh as she popped the last CD into her crowded specially made CD shelves which spanned every wall of her room. Posters covered with Bands and Divas were plastered anywhere there wasn't a CD shelf. Her Oversized Speakers lay beside each side of her bed. And on her metallica comforter lay the headphones. Setsuko loved her headphones she had bought them from an old man at a flea market. They didn't look like anyone elses. She began to take off her over sized rings, Don't F*** with Mr.Zero Hoodie and then collapsed on the bed. She felt an unexpected pang of sadness.It was all over. What else was there to do from here..would she lose her purpose for life..

She looked at all the endless rows of CDs and smiled..Nah.

It was somewhere around midnight when she drifted off to sleep.

Tankerbell had been permitted to sleep for 2 hours. He was making his way up the street it was dark and there were no lights on so he wasn't worried about anyone seeing the 3 foot hovering robotic kitty making its way down the street. He didn't know what Earth prisons were like but he knew stealing everywhere was a crime. When he had asked Princess Kimi-Sama she had only laughed and said something about not dropping soap. He slowly hummed as he shifted to a quieter gear. His reflective kitty eyes shone through the room full of what Princess Kimi-Sama wanted they automatically shut off as he detected someone sleeping inside..The one he was going to burglar.

Tankerbell gulped. He didnt want to do this but their had been layoffs lately and he wasnt about to give up his benefits. He quietly popped into his smaller form and went down the chimney.

Setsuko blinked her eyes listening to the sound of dragging. Someone was in her house and leaving. She sat up and quickly tried to think of something she could use..maybe a baseball bat. As her eyes adjusted to the light she gasped realizing that every CD from the shelves had been stolen. Screw the bat without hesitation she grabbed the ornamental samurai sword from above her door.

She turned her head and realized she was hearing someone cursing in the chimney. It was a small robotic-like voice and it scared Setsuko she had never heard a voice like that before. Finally a shower of soot fell into the fireplace and she heard the dragging on the roof.

Setsuko grit her teeth "fine" she ran out of the back door and was confronted with a 3 foot floating robotic cat dragging an enormous bag of CDs.

She screamed both out of surprise and fury "Hey where do you think your going with my MUSIC!" Tankerbell couldn't believe his bad luck he would be going to prison after all if he didn't pull a fast one.

He turned on his vacuum feature. He could feel the huge parcel weighing him down but now this psycho brandishing a samurai sword was less likely to slice him in half. Setsuko was dumbstruck as she watched this monstrosity suck down her lifes work (all 13 years)!

"You bear on crack! You better give that back right now or I'm calling ...somebody(she lived in the bad part of town and knew the police counted to 1,000,000 before responding to calls in her part of town)! I WILL CALL SOMEBODY! NO I WILL CUT YOU THEN I WILL CALL SOMEBODY!"

Tankerbell felt it his moral duty to apologize for this criminal act. He knew that Kimi-sama had said to steal this girls CDs, but did she really need all of them? Tankerbell began to get higher and higher off of the ground.

Setsuko nearly cried seeing the love of her life drift further and further away she climbed quickly onto her roof and grabbed onto the large hanging bell on Tank. She could hear the bag of CDs rattling inside she raised her sword she swung up ontop of the Cats back and plunged her samurai sword. She heard 2 CDs clatter to the ground.
Tankerbell closed his eyes she had done something to him..up there. He hadn't wanted to do this but he had to hurry back. He let loose and electric shock and fell his uninvited rider slip off unconsciously to the ground.

He made his way high into the atmosphere where Princess Kimi was waiting.

At first Setsuko couldn't figure out what had happened. Her whole body ached and she thought she must have had a very bad dream. The bandaged samurai sword was laying out of its sheath on the ground.Must have been sleep walking with..a..samurai sword?That was dangerous almost as bad as the time her and Mitsuru had secretly bought 2 bottles of Everclear alcohol.They had woken up the next morning behind the Taj Mahol Casino wearing bathing suits in november and trashbags on their feet. When she got to her room though she was shocked again by the emptiness of her CD shelves.She felt weak and shed a single tear and when she could think of no solutions at all she began to dress herself for school.

Mitsuru was the first to bound up to her and her jaw dropped open. Setsuko just walked by her in a daze. Mitsuru wasn't sure her eyes were right and she asked Setsuko "Setsuko...I can see your ears!"

"I know"..Setsuko sighed

"But I mean you always wear your headphones to school, and after that your hair is down! I've known you for 4 years and I've never even seen your ears. They’re nice by the way" Mitsuru laughed.

Setsuko looked up at the sky and muttered "I dont want to go on."I'll never find a CD personally entire band signed copy of Pink Floyds the Wall.

Mitsuru tilted her head and put a finger to her lips "Setsuko what on earth are you talking about?"

Setsuko didn't seem to hear Mitsuru though and only continued her crazy musings. "A nun, I could be a nun..I could wear black all day,wicked metal beads I could dedicate my life to god now that the best part of me...has..?"

Mitsuru felt Setsukos forhead. "Has what"?

Setsuko raised a fist to the heavens and shouted "HAS FLOWN AWAY ON A GIANT ROBOTIC CAT WITH TAZER CAPABILITIES!!!"
