Strawberry Fun
By Sweet Ruby Moon
"You're pretty!"
"You're evil."
It was supposed to have been an innocent bet, though one could only be suspicious of a game involving a certain witch and magician, a pair of Mokonas and a bottle of whisky. Rules all set, they each selected the manjuu that best represented themselves and let the fun begin. Larg emerged victorious in the end, and Clow mentally cursed whatever moral standards left in his conscience for denying him a chance to cheat. This time.
"Winner picks the prize, remember?" She chanted, applying the final touch-ups of strawberry-flavored lipstick on his mouth, which made no effort to feign a smile. Not far, a pair of drunken, chubby creatures bent over in laughter at their helpless master. "Besides, red goes well with your pale complexion."
"Why, thank you, dearest, but having my lips taste like candy is too high of a price." His reply sounded awfully like one of Yuuko's sarcastic remarks. In a flash, a bright idea came to mind, and a grin to his face. "Then again, perhaps you might feel so inclined as to feast on them?"
It took her no second thoughts to merrily comply. Strawberries were her favorite dessert, after all.
