Chocolate

Welcome to the First Annual Azabu Chocolate Festival! There will be a list of activities and tables that are set up all over the campus. Some of these said activities are chocolate tasting, arts and crafts, chocolate making, and so on. We encourage you to visit each table and enjoy as much delicious chocolate as you can. Sponsored by Azabu High School.

Usagi Tsukino's eyes practically bulged out of her eye sockets as they read the list of activities and tables that were pinned at the entrance of the festival. If anyone knew the middle-schooler even remotely, they would know that this festival was her own personal heaven. Excitement and hunger rippled through her small body as her eyes roamed over the campus-turned-festival-grounds that were holding the function. Red and brown striped tents filled the campus grounds of Azabu High School. The festival was being held behind in the football field of the sizable and impressive school. Usagi had heard from her own school that Azabu was known for its reputation of having extraordinary and exceptional students who are known to have greatly successful careers later in life. And Usagi could tell their buildings and campus grounds was no exception either. The humongous main building was grey brick with beautiful long windows that accented the four story building greatly. The school had several similar looking buildings all over the campus and is considered one of the biggest schools in Tokyo.

An eager Usagi entered the buzz filled festival. There were over 40 tables that housed some kind of activity that involved chocolate and Usagi could barely contain herself as she ogled the chocolate treats that lined multiple booths. She had been waiting for this glorious day for months, ever since she saw that poster in the arcade and almost gave poor Motoki a heart attack after she screamed in happiness. The day had finally come and all Usagi could do was stare at the phenomenon as drool dripped from her watering mouth.

Almost an hour later, Usagi soon came to the conclusion that she had died and had went to chocolate heaven where the chocolate overlord hails. She had never imagined so much chocolate in her entire life not even that one time when she was eight and had passed out from an accidental chocolate overdose at a family friend's birthday party. She had blacked out as soon as the chocolate cake that was triple her size came out. All she remembers is the wind in her hair and people calling her name and to not eat the cake. Thankfully she had developed a tolerance to chocolate ever since that incident. Today, that tolerance had been greatly tested.

"Man, why can't this festival happen they month. Better yet everyday," Usagi said dreamily to no one but herself. The fourteen-year-old now had chocolate smudges all over her mouth area and in a few strands of her long blonde hair that was tied into two buns on her head, very telling to passersby what the girl had done the past hour. Her dazzling blue eyes had a dreamy look in them as she walked deeper and deeper into the maze-like festival.

"Hi there! Welcome to the dark chocolate tasting table. Would you like some samples?," a vendor to her left called out to her cheerfully.

The second after he said it, Usagi had already scoffed down two samples in lightening speed. She soon started devouring a bunny-shaped chocolate starting with its ears. She was in complete and utter bliss. Nothing could ruin her chocolate filled day, absolutely noth-

"What did that poor bunny do to you Odango?," a deep baritone voice came from behind her. Usagi practically cringed at the deep rich voice. Most girls would have swooned or shivered at the low and sexy voice that had addressed them. Usagi would have too, if not for the fact that she knew the voice that was connected to the body of the person. There was only one person (besides Rei) who called her 'Odango': Mamoru Chiba, her self-proclaimed archnemesis and resident pretty boy.

"Mamoru-baka," she hissed through her teeth, emphasizing 'baka'. She regretfully turned her body and head to look at the face she always wanted to spit into. Her blue eyes meet his darker blue ones that she had to admit looked gorgeous. 'What a waste of beautiful eyes on such a ugly personality' she thought with a frown gracing her small face. His ebony locks of hair that always seemed to fall almost too perfectly in front of his eyes seemed a little less neat and more messy. His handsome almost god-like features could make girls hot from a mile away. Usagi was not one of those girls fortunately. All she saw was a jerk and a baka that she had the displeasure of meeting almost two months ago. It had gotten even worse when she had realized that he was the best friend of her longtime crush. Imagine her shock and utter disgust.

"You almost say it as if you don't like having me in your company Odango," Mamoru mused with a smug grin on his features.

"You're right, I truly wonder why?," her face and voice dripping of sarcasm.

His grin went even widened as he saw her face and part of her hair splattered with chocolate. 'She looks like a little kid that got lost in a chocolate factory' he thought. Not containing himself anymore, he let out a snort and started laughing as he took in her appearance.

Usagi flinched at this and started to turn beet red as he continued laughing at god knows what.

"What's so funny, baka? Finally realize how your life is one big joke," she said mockingly, hoping to finally win one of their verbal bawls.

"Nope. I'm laughing at the fact that you look like you murdered a small village of chocolate people," he said with that same smug grin that Usagi always hated.

"What are you talking about baka?"

"Look in a mirror, chocolate cheeks," he said with his grin getting even smugger, if possible. Usagi, deciding to indulge the jerk, went to the booth next to them. It was a chocolate jewelry making booth where you could try on jewelry made of chocolate. Usagi went over the the small vanity mirror to see her supposedly messy face.

To her utter horror, she saw chocolate smudges all over her face, hair, and even a little on her tank top. She did look like a rapid serial killer of chocolates. 'They should hide their chocolate children' she thought in horror as she looked at herself with terror filled eyes.

"I have to admit, 'Murderer of Chocolate Babies' does make for a good look on you. In fact, I can say it's an improvement," Mamoru soon added as he saw horror in Usagi's eyes over her appearance. He quickly also saw her eyes turn from horror to deadly as she saw him smiling.

"Why are you even here in the first place? I would figure that happy, cheerful, and you know lively things weren't your forte," she muttered deathly, shooting him daggers.

"I also figured that you would have slipped into a chocolate induced coma by now but I guess we were both wrong on our parts," he said with mirth laced in his words.

"I'll have you know that chocolate is the most beautiful and delightful thing that has ever graced this planet. It brings you complete happiness as it melts in your mouth and the taste explodes all around your mind," she said with a blissful sigh at the end.

"My god, you really do need professional help," he replied with complete seriousness.

The blissful sigh was then cut off as livid rage filled her small body. "Shut up or you eat floor Chiba! Again, why are you here baka," Usagi said as rage filled her.

"Isn't it obvious," he said questionably. It was then that Usagi took a second and actually noticed his clothes which were an Azabu football T-shirt, tan khakis, and a white apron with dark smudges on it. "I'm working a booth in the festival for my school if the wires in your brain haven't connected yet Odango," Mamoru said noticing her confused look after looking at his clothes.

After his statement, Usagi stared at Mamoru dumbfounded for a second before bursting out in hysterical laughing. Mamoru could only watch as she couldn't even stand upright anymore and bent over still laughing. "What? Odango? You're acting like I just told the biggest joke in the world," he said. He soon started becoming angry at why she was laughing at him just because he was working at the festival. He was angry but also seriously confused in the midst of it all.

Finally wiping the tears of laughter that had appeared in her eyes, Usagi calmed down and was upright once more. "It's just….. you, dark boring Mamoru-baka working at a happy fun festival. Well it's so ridiculous, it's hilarious," she said before bursting into another fit of laughter, this one even more powerful than the last.

No longer being able to stand being laughed at by anyone, much less than Usagi, Mamoru soon turned and left the hysterical chocolate-covered girl to herself. His break was almost over anyway. The ebony-haired man made his way back to his booth that he had stupidly agreed to do. He had actually volunteered willingly for the festival when he heard that it was a chocolate themed one. He soon started wondering if the idea of him working a fun festival really was all that funny as the Odango said. He grabbed a chunk of regular milk chocolate from the block of chocolate that the booth was selling. He bit off a piece as he savored the sweet taste on his taste buds. The piece started melting as he chewed it and swallowed it. He couldn't deny that the Odango was right for once and that chocolate was in all sense, delightful. But he would never admit that. That or the fact that both of them had a shared passion: Chocolate.
