A fan fiction by TakkunTC21

Comments: This story is what would happen if Haruko came into my life. ENJOY ^_^

Chapter 1

I have a pretty normal life as a high school student. I have a family of 4 (including me). An older brother in college, a mom and dad that work a lot, and me, Olin, the 14-year-old freshman. Everyday is pretty much the same thing; I walk to school with my friend Sarah, go through a school day, and come home. Same old same old stuff, until I met Haruko. That’s when things got crazy!

Olin: Hey Sarah, want to rock out at my house after school.

Sarah: Sure, but I gotta get my drum set so it may take some time to get to your house.

*Sound of a motorcycle can be herd *

Sarah: What’s that?

Haruko: LUNCH TIME!!!!!

Olin: But it’s only 8 o’ cloc-

*Haruko hits Olin with a guitar *

*Olin goes flying *

Sarah: OLIN!!!

*Haruko rides away *

Sarah: Hey Olin, are you okay?

Olin: ow no….

*Olin passes out *

*Wakes up in the nurses office *

Olin: What happen- OWWW GOD MY HEAD!!!

Sarah: You gotta nasty bruise on your fore head.

Olin: That explains the bandage on my head. I feel better now so I guess I can get through school.

Sarah: Um, schools over.

Olin: Crud, I bet I have a lot of homework.

Sarah: Nope, we didn’t get any.

Olin: Phew, that’s good. I wonder who hit me?

Sarah: I saw the person who hit you. She had a bass guitar, and a yellow vespa.

Olin: I better keep my eyes open then.

*Later on the way back home *

Olin: Okay, so far so good and I haven’t got hit.

*Sound of a motorcycle can be herd *

Sarah: OH NO!!

Haruko: LUNCH TIME!!!!

*Hits Olin again *

*Olin goes flying, again *

Sarah: OLIN!!!

Haruko: STOP!!

Sarah: What, why?

Haruko: Taro-kun was hit so you can’t move him at all.

*Haruko looks at Olin’s passed out body *

Sarah: His name isn’t Taro-kun.

*Haruko slaps body *

Haruko: He’s not waking up. Oh no…

Sarah: What?

Haruko: HE’S DEAD, OH GOD I KILLED HIM!!!

Sarah: WHAT YOU DID!!?? YOU SON OF A-
Olin: Huh- AAHHH OWWWWW!!! Why did you hit me!!??

Haruko: Just seeing if you had the right head. Looks like you do.

Olin: What are you talking about?

Haruko: Seya!!

*Haruko speeds away on her vespa *

Sarah: Are you okay?

Olin: My head hurts really bad, am I bleeding?

Sarah: No, but looks like your bandage came off.

Olin: I’ll put on a new one when I get home.

Sarah: I’ll come with you.

*They both get to Olin’s house, put on a new bandage and Sarah goes back to her house *

*Later that night, Olin’s parents come home *

Mom: That bandage, what happened?

Olin: Oh, um… someone threw a rock at me so I got cut.

Mom: Well at least it didn’t hit one of your eyes.

Dad: Kids are so dumb these days. Olin we got some good news and some bad news, then some more good news.

Mom: The good news is we got a promotion!!!!

Olin: YOU DID!!?? WOOT!!

Dad: The bad news is, we have to go to Japan for a few months.

Olin: What so we’re moving!? But what about my friends!?

Mom: Oh no your staying. The other good news is we found someone to watch you.

Olin: Who?

Mom: She’ll be here tomorrow morning.
Dad: We have to leave for Japan tomorrow, so you’ll have a chance to meet her.

Olin: Okay, well I’m going to bed. You have a good trip

Mom: We’ll write to you and call you as much as we can.

*The next morning *

Olin: *Yawn * I finally get to meet this house sitter.

*Walks in kitchen *

Olin: AHHHHH IT’S YOU THE VESPA CHICK!!!

Chapter 2

Because of my parent’s promotion, they had to go to Japan and they left me with the pink haired housekeeper freak. She tries to hit me with her bass, embarrasses me, and of coarse turns our dinner times into manga from somehow. I guess you could describe my life as a cartoon.

* Sarah and Olin are walking home from school *

Sarah: Hey Olin, wanna play music over at your house like old times?

Olin: WHAT, I mean…. yeah sure just like old times…

Sarah: Sweet, I’ll come by with my drums at about 5 o’clock.

Olin (Thinking): S***!!! Haruko is gonna try to hit me with her freakin’ bass!!! And when I’m having a friend over!!

* Later at Olin’s house *

Olin: HARUKOOOO

* No answer *

Olin: She’s up to something, I know it.

*Doorbell rings *

Olin: Oh no! Not now!

*Opens door *

Sarah: Hey Olin, open your garage and help me unload my drum set.

Olin: okay

*Slams door *

Olin: CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!

*Opens garage door *

Olin: HARUKO!!!!! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!!! YOU BETTER NOT JUMP AT ME!!!

Sarah: Who are you yelling at?

*Sarah’s question makes Olin jump *

Olin: uuhhhh no one… oh let me help you unload your drum set.

*Both unload drum set *

Olin: Okay, almost ready. Now, I gotta get my amp and bass.

* Runs inside*

*Olin opens the door to his room slowly and peeks his head in *

Olin: I guess she’s not in here. Phew

*Grabs bass and amp but then Olin hears something *

Olin: What was that sound? It sounded like a string being plucked on a bass.

*Puts down amp and bass and goes back in his room *

Olin: Well that sure as heck wasn’t my bass that made that sound. It sounded like a different one.

*The sound is herd again *

Olin: It’s coming from my closet.

*Olin opens closet and is surprised at what’s inside it *

Olin: WHOA H-Haruko’s bass.

Sarah (yelling): OLIN!!!! DO YOU NEED SOME HELP!!??

Olin (yelling back): NO I’M OKAY I’M COMING NOW!!

*Grabs Haruko’s bass and grabs amp and goes back in the garage *

Sarah: What took you so long.

Olin: Oh, uh I used the bathroom before I came back.

Sarah: WHOA, nice bass!!!

Olin: What? Oh yeah, it’s a Rickenbacker.

Sarah: Come on let’s play!

*Olin plugs in his amp and plugs in the bass into the amp *

Sarah: Lets play the intro to STALKER.

Olin: Yeah you start off

*Sarah hits he drum sticks together to give a starting beat *

*Olin plays the intro *

Olin (thinking): This is really weird. Haruko has completely disappeared, and she left her bass in my closet.

*Vespa engine can be herd *

Olin: Oh no

Sarah: Is that what I think it is?

Olin: Yes it is.

*Haruko jumps off her vespa towards Olin *

Haruko: I GOT YOU NOW OLIN!! THERES NO ESSCA-

*Haruko notices Olin holding her bass *

Haruko: What the?

*Olin smiles *

Olin: Looks like I got you this time and you ca-

*Haruko collides into Olin *

*Sarah runs over and looks at them on the ground *

Sarah: Olin, are you okay?

*Olin gets up *

Olin: Yup, I’m better than ever.
*Later at dusk *

Sarah: So, the vespa woman is your housekeeper?!

Olin: Her name is Haruko. And yes she is. My parents went to Japan for some promotion thing.

Sarah: When will they be back?

Olin: Who knows, I’m stuck with her though.

*Haruko runs in and puts Olin in a headlock and nugies his head *

Haruko: Yup, I’m going to be here forever and ever and ever…. AND EVER!!!

Olin: HEY LET GO OF ME HARUKO!!!! COME ON!!! YOUR HURTING ME!!

*Sarah chuckles *

Sarah: Well Olin, looks like your life is going to be really crazy.

Chapter 3

Haruko seems sadder than usual. She’s been trying to hit me with her bass a lot more than usual. Sometimes I let her get me because I want her to feel better. Yet still she seems sad.

*Olin is walking through the door to his house from school *

Olin: I’m home!

*Haruko is sitting on the couch when Olin walks in *

Haruko: Hey Olin.

*Olin looks confused *

Olin: Umm… aren’t you going to hit me with your bass or something?

Haruko: No, I don’t feel like it.

Olin: That’s kinda weird of you to say.

*Olin sits down next to Haruko on the couch *

*It’s silent for a few seconds *

Olin: What’s with you always hitting me with your bass?

Haruko: It’s… just a habit…

Olin: By the tone of your voice it sounds like your missing someone.

Haruko: I do.

Olin: Who is it?

Haruko: His name was Naota.

Olin: Tell me about him.

*Haruko just sits still looking down at the floor *

Haruko: He was only 12 years old when I knew him. His dad had hired me to take care of their house. It was also a bakery. At first he didn’t really like me being around, but in time he got used to me. Everyday was like an adventure; there’d be fights, guns, guitars, and all that other stuff. And today is the day we first m-
*Haruko starts crying *

*Olin puts his arm on Haruko *

Olin: It’s all right Haruko. I think maybe you need some rest

Haruko: *Sniff * yeah, I think your right.

*Haruko gets up from couch and goes into her bedroom *

Olin: Y’know, I think I’ll try to cheer Haruko up. Maybe I’ll give her vespa a good cleaning. Oh or maybe I’ll polish and restring her bass guitar.

*After a few hours of chores, Olin finally rests *

Olin: Phew, oh gawd, I’m beat. Well it’ll be worth it when Haruko sees it.

*Walks to Haruko’s room and knocks on door *

Olin: Hmmmm, no answer

*Opens door *

Olin: Huh, she’s not in here. I wonder if she went somewhere while I was working.

*Olin notices a piece of paper on the bed *

Olin: What is this? A newspaper?

*Olin reads it *

Ex- Galaxy Space Police officer commits Crimes

22- year old Haruhara Haruko, an ex- Galaxy Space police officer, steals a hyper- flight yellow vespa from store and then hits all hostages with a Rickenbaker bass guitar. “Her old vespa broke down in front of the store, so she had to steal another one. I tried to stop her, but she hit me with her bass,” said the store clerk. Also, a few days after the crime, 2 Galaxy Space policemen were assaulted when they pulled her over. The 2 officers were lucky to survive the blows to the head. Other Galaxy Space officers have posted wanted signs all across the galaxy for her arrest. She was last seen close to Earth.

Olin: Sh- she’s…WANTED?! So judging by this newspaper, my housekeeper is a wanted criminal.

*The phone rings *

*Olin puts the newspaper back to where it was and answers the phone *

Olin: H-hello.

Mom: Hi honey, how are you?

Olin: Oh, hey Mom. I’m doing fine

Mom: What’s wrong? You seem surprised and nervous about something.

Olin: Really, I don’t feel nervous. And yes I’m surprised, that you called because I haven’t herd from you in a long time.

Mom: Yeah, your father and I have been very busy. And not just regular busy. I mean BUSY busy.

Olin: Wow, what’s Japan like?

Mom: It’s great. The people are nice, lots of beautiful places to go to, and we have a wonderful boss.

Olin: Well, that’s good.

Mom: We might have to stay here longer than we thought. How’s is the housekeeper Ha- ha… ah I could never pronounce her name.

Olin: Haruko, she’s… nice. She’s very energetic so everyday is like a fun adventure.

Mom: That’s good. I have to go now, my break time is up.

Olin: Okay Mom, love you

Mom: Love you to.

Olin: Bye.

*Hangs up phone and then Olin sits in silence for a second *

*Phone rings again *

Olin: Hello.

Sarah: Hey Olin, wanna hang out over at the arcade?

Olin: Sure I’ll get ready and I’ll walk to your house.

Sarah: K’ seeya then.

*Hangs up phone *

Olin: (thinking) this is to weird, I wonder if Haruko is that dangerous? I guess I’ll have to worry about it later.

*Later at the arcade *

Sarah: Okay, lets play CarnEvil. I’m determined to get to the final level.

Olin: Oh we’ll get there with my mad skill.

Sarah: Whatever.

*Olin and Sarah play for 20 minutes *

Sarah: Shoot, we’re out of coins.

Olin: I’ll go get some more

*Olin walks to the change machine *

*While the quarters are coming out of the machine a man walks up to him *

Man: Hey kid, have you seen this person.

*Holds out a picture of Haruko *

Olin: No sir sorry.

*Man walks away *

Olin: (Thinking) Was that one of those galaxy space police guys? Are there officers all around the town?
