Thirsting for Love
Ch1: SPILLED DRINKS
[disclaimer: all character belong to Ken Akamatsu
It felt like so long ago since she had been here. Yue bent down to observe the different drinks. There on the third row up, second to the left, was her intended target. She took out the exact amount, ¥１５０ and slowly slipped the coins into the familiar slot. She enjoyed the small thrill from each sound each coin made. Without even looking, Yue ran her index finger over the smooth buttons and pushed the third one to the bottom. Click. Wrr.Wrr.Wrr.Wrr. THUNK.
She reached down and pulled out the cool juice box-it read: Last Elixir.
"You really are weird, you know that squirt."
Yue spun around, surprised that someone had been watching her.
The boy was around her height and although his smirk gave his boyish pride away, his glinting eyes hid trials he had been through beyond his years. He stood tall with his arms crossed and legs slightly apart. His unique ears were perched on his head, hidden behind his coal-black hair, aware of any danger. Kotaro pointed at the juice box in Yue's hand.
"How do ya drink that stuff?"
"Like this." Yue poked a small straw thru the thin plastic and took a long sip.
Kotaro, realizing that he had just been made to look like a fool, stalked past Yue.
"You think yer so smart!? Watch this!" Kotaro put his hands together with two fingers from each hand lifted up. "Five Shadow Split!" All five of the Kotaro's began to pummel a nearby machine, causing drinks to go flying in all directions.
"Stop! Don't-" Yue yelled helplessly. But it was too late...Yue stared open-mouthed at the wreckage and the one Kotaro standing in a pile of drinks grinning his fanged grin.
"Impressive, huh?"
"Not in the LEAST! You idiot! How are you going to pay for the damage, not to mention that this counts as stealing! Why did you do that?! Are you completely stupid!? And did you think you could actually drink all that? You're totally dense and you-" Yue stopped. She noticed that Kotaro had a crestfallen face and his ears drooped. His whole personality seemed wounded.
Shoot! I went to far! He's a guy too and guy's hate being put down by girls! Not the mention he's just a kid! How do I fix this?
"Well then, you'd better run shorty!" Kotaro yelled over his shoulder, the smirk back on his face.
Yue looked up. When had Kotaro run away? Finally noticing that people were beginning to stare, Yue quickly turned and ran after Kotaro.
What am I doing? Why am I listening to him? Oh, when I get my hands on that idiot!! I'll give him such a long lecture that all five of him will have a painful headache for months! BAKA!!
