Alone...

Normally, my mom would come and pick me up from school. That didn't happen. The teacher told me she would call my mom, but I hardly doubted it.

I sat on the sidewalk, watching Kyuubi and the others go off and showing off their tails. Mine popped out from that thought. Two raccoon tails... I smiled and just waited for my mom, until the teacher came out and told me my mom wanted to tell me that I could come home by myself.

By myself? That's a first for momma...

I nodded my head quickly and skipped off, somehow going in the way that Kyuubi and them were going.
