Chapter 1: 'The Match'
April 19, 21 CLE
"I don't know what happened, Shen.." I said to my fellow ninja as we walked towards the platform to exit from Summoner's Rift.
"Mistakes happen. You'll do better next time, I'm sure." He replied, in a rather blank tone of voice.
I felt myself physically slump down. I know he didn't mean any harm, but, after that match, I couldn't help but be upset with myself.
After we were back in the institute, I headed off to the Kinkou's dorm. The institute sure did give us the royal treatment. There is only three of us, but we have a rather large area, enough to house at least ten people comfortably.
I immediately rushed to my room, not bothering to tell Akali about how the match went on the way. How could I? It was all my fault that the game was lost.
I closed the door to my room and took down my hood. I didn't bother changing out of my ninja garb, I really didn't care, to be honest. I buried my face in my pillow, ashamed at my failure. I lie there like this for at least half an hour before sitting up.
'I know I'm better than this. Its that stupid damned Lion the league's brought in. He's too strong, they need to put some regulations on him already.'
I wandered through my thoughts for a while, then came a knock at the door, interrupting my silence.
"Kennen? Are you alright?" I heard Akali say from outside of my door.
"Perfectly fine. Just leave me alone for a little bit, alright?" I said, in a calm voice.
"Well, okay. If you need anything, you know where to find me." She replied
'Well yeah, I know where to find you. In Shen's bed.'
I chuckled a little at my thought, knowing full well that Akali and Shen take the Kinkou too seriously to be a couple. Nevertheless, I always found that thought to be funny.
"That's terrible, Kennen. Haha." I chuckled to myself out loud.
I fell back in my bed, not knowing what I should think. That game really sucked. I know that we're not supposed to hold grudges against the champions that we fight on the fields of justice, but I can say that I dislike Urgot about twice as much as I did before.
'Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverser, Ill show him Hyper-Kinetic! An energized shuriken in his ass would show him!'
"Who am I kidding? I know I wouldn't be able to take him on in a fight, even outside of the league." I said to myself out loud.
It's a bit of a habit of me to talk to myself when I'm upset, I'm not quite sure why I do it.
I decided to stop beating myself up, and look for ways to cheer myself up a bit. Akali and Shen aren't too much of a help, especially Shen. He always talks about my mistakes, and how to improve on them. I know he's trying to help, but it really gets on my nerves.
I decide that I'll go to see if Sona is in the auditorium. She normally is there playing away at her instrument. I'm not quite sure what it is, but it always sounds so beautiful. Sure, I'd be missing out on lunch, but I really don't care at the moment. Besides, I'm not scheduled for any more matches for about a week. It's nice to get a little bit of a break.
I finally got up out of my bed, after about an hour and a half of laying there. When I left my room, I had noticed that Akali and Shen were missing from the dorm.
'Probably out on a date. Hehe'
I moved past the common area and turned to the door. I put up my hood before going out, but left my mask down.
I turned the nicely engraved golden door handle and slowly opened the door. It wasn't exactly easy for me to open, since the door was human sized, but I'm used to opening it now. As the door swung open, I looked down the corridor. It was comfortably lit by some floating torches, that had a blue tint to them. The corridor was quite large, even for human standards. I closed the door behind me and reached in my pocket to ensure that I had my key, in case Akali and Shen aren't back when I get here.
I headed off in the direction of the main hallway, which was normally quite busy with minions always seeming to be working on something or another, but, it was early in the day, so not many of them were out and about. There were a few summoners that were walking around, and I saw Captain Teemo walking, socializing with everybody that passed him. Suddenly, he looked over and saw me.
"Hey, Kennen!" He shouted as he ran towards me.
"Hi Teemo.." I said, blankly to him.
"I heard about that match, sorry to hear." He said.
"Its nothing, Teemo. The only thing that upsets me is how strong that stupid lion is." I said, continuing my walk to the auditorium.
"Oh, you mean Rengar. Yeah he is really strong, I'm surprised that the institute hasn't put any restrictions on him yet." He said, now walking at my side.
I didn't comment.
"Headed off to listen to Sona?" He asked me.
"How did you guess?" I asked.
"I just sort of guessed. Do you mind if I join you?"
I was quite surprised at him asking this.
'I suppose it would be nice to talk to him.'
"Well, I don't see why not. Aren't you busy, though?"
"Not really. I don't have any matches until tomorrow, so, I'm pretty much free."
"Alright then, I gue-"
I was cut off by Shaco rushing in between Teemo and I, almost knocking Teemo over. I caught him.
Shortly after I saw Viktor running after him.
"You stupid jester! Give me back those notes! You have no idea how important those are!" He exclaimed, rushing after him.
He flew past us, but, unlike Shaco, took care to be out of our way.
"That was interesting, to say the least." I said.
"Haha, yeah. Thanks for catching me, Kennen." He said, with a smile.
"No problem. That jester thinks that everything's a joke."
We continued our walk towards the auditorium, not talking too much afterward.
We finally got to the door leading to the auditorium, and when we approached it, we could already hear her music playing. I felt a little bit better already. I opened the door and allowed the young captain to enter before me, before following him inside.
The auditorium was empty, to my surprise. But, nevertheless, Sona sat with her trusty instrument floating just below her hands, which were gracefully floating over the strings, playing a very calming melody.
Teemo picked a seat in the front row, and patted the chair next to him, signaling for me to sit. I sat next to the yordle. The auditorium seats were very nice and comfortable, I had no trouble at all relaxing while sitting in it. I took my hood down and closed my eyes, I started to get lost in Sona's music, almost becoming one with the notes. I felt relieved of my stress, and for once in my life, I felt really, truly happy.
