Very few people got to see the Hisoka Candy and Pastry shop's kitchen, Shiori was one of the privileged few that happened to be the best friend of the two owners' only daughter. So quite often after school and basketball practice was over, Shiori joined Chieko in the back of the shop, watching her make the delicious sweets that were so well known throughout Akita as the most delicious treats in Akita. Shiori would argue and say all of Japan, but Chieko was pretty modest about that sort of praise, but only sometimes.
Shiori always loved watching Chie work, she always seemed at peace when she was baking her sweets or mixing up the ingredients with such a serene expression on usually such a disinterested face. Said woman was staring at her triple chocolate cookies with purple M&M's decorating the top intently, crouched low in front of the large oven, sweating from the heat it was giving off but refusing to move. Amethyst eyes focused on the batch, her usually long raven bangs pinned back with red clips Shiori let her borrow for work a few years ago, but never gave back. Shiori never asked for them back, either. Her multi-colored hair was tied into a tight bun as well; the raven curls mixed with sapphire, amethyst, ruby, emerald, and pink tied tightly so as to avoid getting anything in the food. She never wore a hair net, but she always made sure that hair would never get into the food; Chie would always make sure to never once touch her head at all, in hopes of keeping from letting the hair fall out and onto the dough or batter. Shiori had to smile to herself as she watched the rather tall woman stand up slowly, now at a full 6 feet tall in her flat black work shoes. Chie was tall compared to most girls her age, and despite working at a pastry shop she had a pretty nice figure, though Shiori never once saw the tie-dye haired woman work out, Chie had strong legs with firm thighs and a slender waist, her chest was something Shiori was sometimes envious of herself though. While Chie had D-Cup, Shiori had only C-Cup from all her working out. But then again, after looking at her mother Shiori didn't need to wonder how Chie got such a full figure. The woman was…voluptuous, to say the least. Sweet as a baby bird though, Chie turned out a little quiet and stubborn like her father though, big muscular man from his time as a professional boxer, so that was probably where Chie got her tallness from. But she certainly got her love of sweets from her mother, who's dream was to own a shop like this, and that dream came true thanks to the savings Chie's father had from his time as a boxer. Poor fellow took a punch to the eye that sent his vision a little foggy; he wears glasses now and can't really box professionally anymore. He still did pickup games with old friends now and then.
Humming softly as Chie removed the batch of cookies from the oven, she brushed a hand through her silver and raven bangs that always fell into her silvery blue eyes rather annoyingly. She meant to get it cut, but never got around to it. Like Chie, Shiori had some dye jobs done to her hair at the same time the rainbow haired girl did. But she only got her bangs streaked in silver, while Chie got the last half of her long past the ass length raven hair dyed in many deep shades of her favorite colors. It was for Chieko's birthday, but the girl got Shiori into it too somehow. Not that she minded at all, she quite liked the look on her; the silver went well with her eye color. The rest of her raven hair was at it was, hanging down a past her chest by a couple
"Chie-Chan," Shiori called out to the baker and got a humming sound to show she was heard as she sat the tray down on the island in the middle of the kitchen, where Shiori was sitting with their homework open and ready to be done. Well, Shiori was already done but she hung around for the company and the cookies. "Could I ask a favor, perhaps?" Once more, she got a hum of acknowledgment and to continue as the tall woman started breaking cookies off the pan with a spatula. "Would you be interested in cooking enough sweets for the whole basketball team, for a small party to those that sign up for the team tomorrow?" She asked softly, rather calmly despite the large amount of guys that were on the team. Shiori was the teams manager, since Masako was Coach she had to run it by her, and by some miracle the usual strict coach agreed to the party. "Ah…"Chieko said slowly, blinking amethyst eyes just as slowly as she thought it over.
"…Sure…" She nodded slowly, Shiori pulling a bright smile at the answer. "Thank you, Chie-Chan!" She sang happily, clasping her hands together. "I will do your homework for you, as thanks! There are some really new interesting people in school, I am sure you will have fun watching, too!" Chie merely waved her hand, sighing softly. "Yeah yeah…" Chie was still happy, and Shiori knew that because though Chie was an A Student, she hated homework so damn much she always asked Shiori to do it for her so she could bake for the store. Shiori usually made her do it herself though, but times like these required a little spoiling for such a favor. Plucking a soft, warm cookie from the pan she let out a blissful sigh before then biting into the chewy goodness with her best friend. The two silently ate together before Chie got to work on the baking, as it would take a while.
"I have a pretty good feeling about this year…" Shiori thought to herself with a small smile, having been the Manager for the team for a while now. She went to Yosen for middle school as well, and had been the team's manager since her second year. She herself was actually pretty good at Basketball, but the girl's team was terrible and she honestly, she enjoyed watching the boys playing and helping them enough that she didn't need to be the one playing. Masako needed the help; after all those boys were crazy.
