Mind Reading & Flying
"On the second day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Two turtledoves..."
"Kitsuneme, I'm tired of the elementary division," the blonde with an indestructible smile said lowly. "I'm tired of reading minds, their hearts and their thoughts. I'm exhausted and they don't want me to help them with the Christmas decorations. I'm tired of not being able to share what I think to others."
Kitsuneme, who looked almost exactly like the boy talking to him, except with more squinted eyes, asked, "How come Koko?"
Yes, it was Kitsuneme and Kokoroyomi hanging around the classroom. They had grown too, but they still looked almost the same nevertheless. "That's cause...I'm bored," Koko said plainly. He rolled around the classroom and sighed. Kitsuneme was floating in the air, legs criss-crossed.
"That's too bad, since you're turning twelve in a few months and you'll be in the elementary division for one more year," Kitsu said. "Heh, I'll be going to the middle school division," he bragged.
Koko ceased his rolling and looked up at Kitsu seriously, or as serious as Koko can stare at a person, "I think...I think I should give up on life."
They exchanged glances, how this is possible, no one knows, "NOT!" and they laughed together.
The classroom door opened and their attention was on the dark green haired girl coming in. She was sniffing for something, literally. She looked up at them and said, "Oh, its you."
"That's not how you greet people Sumire, especially when you're using you alice!" Kitsu mocked.
Sumire's head boiled. "There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this," she shouted, but she stopped when interrupted by someone.
"I'm using my cat-dog constitution alice to sniff out Natsume-kun because I still need to give him my gift that I made so lovingly for him," Koko read. Kitsuneme's expression only read an 'uh oh' for his friend, but Koko didn't stop. "Now if that idiot would stop reading my mind and spilling the beans, I would send him flying to the moon!"
Kitsuneme picked Koko up by the wrist and Koko was dangling in the air away from Sumire. She had just missed her shot at getting at Koko because of Kitsu's quick reflexes. "He doesn't need to go to the moon with your help. I can fly him to the moon myself, thank you very much."
Koko kept hanging on for dear life's sake, "Yeah yeah," and agreed with Kitsuneme's witty statement.
"Why you..." She glared at Koko and Kitsu, "I'll get you!" She jumped like a dog and tried to pounce like a cat. It ended in a crash landing, that wasn't intelligently planned out. Kitsuneme was piled on with a Koko on top of him and a Sumire knocked out on Koko's stomach.
"Y-You, you guys are crushing my b-body," he managed to say.
Koko laughed nervously, "Yeah," and he pushed Sumire off of him and got off of Kitsuneme's stomach. They both dusted themselves off. "We should run away before Miss Cat Dog decides to wake up and pummel us again," Koko suggested. The other boy gave him a nod and they ran off, leaving Sumire in a weird landing position.
Once outside, it was cold as ever. The two boys put on their winter coats and walked around the school grounds. They spotted a bus in the distance and Kitsuneme pointed it out. "Wanna go to Central Town to get something warm to eat or drink?" Koko liked the plan and they ran after the bus together. Eventually, Kitsuneme realized they could just fly there and they held hands to catch up to the bus. They got on just in time. The two of them found some empty seats on the bus and sat on them.
"Close call," Koko said. The bus drove them all the way to Central Town, a long with some other students from the academy who wanted to go as well. When the bus stopped, the twins thanks the bus driver and got off. "Let's go over there for something to eat!" He pointed towards a cafe. They got to the entrance when one of the waitress greeted them at the door.
"Welcome to our cafe, please follow me to find your seat," she welcomed. She grabbed two menus and put them in a window seat for two. "Here are your menus, I'll come back in a few minutes to allow you two to choose something to dine on." And she left them to picked out their choices.
"AGAIN!?" a girl exclaimed as she entered the shop. She ran past the waiter and put her hands on her hips. "Are you guys like..like...PRE stalking me or something?" It was Shouda Sumire.
The two boys exchanged glances, "More like, you're stalking us," they said in unison.
This pissed off Sumire even more, but she wanted to keep her cool, she was in public anyways. Sumire took the seat from the table next to them and opened her menu. She scanned it and skipped all the way to the drinks section. "Juice..soda...milk..ah! Just what I'm looking for. This place is famous for it!" she announced to herself excitingly.
Kitsuneme glanced over at her, "What is this place famous for?" Kokoroyomi was placing their orders with the waitress and watched them.
"Cocoa!"
"What?" Kokoroyomi asked her.
"Cocoa," she repeated.
"What?" he asked again.
"Cocoa..." she said for a third time.
"Yeah, so what?" he continued on.
"COCOA!" she shouted at him.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" he shouted back.
"I WANT COCOA, YOU IDIOT!" Sumire retaliated.
"WHY WOULD YOU WANT ME? THAT'S DISGUSTING!"
"I do NOT want you! I want to drink cocoa," she tried to calm herself.
"Eww...drink me? Do you really like me that much?" he knew what she was talking about, but he liked teasing her. Kitsuneme laughed at them.
"COCOA! C-o-c-o-a!" she spelled out for them. They were getting on her nerves and her last string was about to be broken.
"Oooh...cocoa," Kitsuneme said, "we thought you said, Koko."
She was furious, they were so insolent to her. "You wanted cocoa? Why didn't you say so beforehand Sumire? Just order it then," Kokoroyomi smirked.
"I really hate you Koko!" she announced. She turned to her waiter and told him, "I'll have my cocoa on the go." He nodded and poured her a cup and placed a lid on it. He handed it to her and she stormed out of the cafe.
Kitsuneme laid back in his chair, "Sumire always has temper tantrums, huh?" Their waitress put down the array of snacks and two cups of hot steamy chocolately cocoa. Kitsuneme grabbed his cup and wafted. The aroma flew into his nose and it smelled wonderful. "This is really the best cocoa in all of Tokyo," he complimented.
Kokoroyomi took his cup as well and held it close to his mouth, "Cocoa..."
"Yeah?" Kitsu asked, "What about it?"
Koko stared back at him, "It's made out of chocolate."
"No kidding," Kitsuneme replied. He picked up one of the sandwiches they ordered and ate it.
Kokoroyomi's eyes wandered around as he ate a sugar cookie. He spotted Mikan running around in the snow frantically, looking for something. "Hey, Kitsuneme, it's Mikan," he pointed out. Kitsuneme noticed her as well and already asked for boxes to take their food on the go.
"Let's go Koko," he said and they both left the cafe. The two boys ran after Miss Pigtails. "Sakura!"
She turned her head to see the look a likes. "If it isn't Koko and Kitsuneme-kun!" she said in surprise.
Koko didn't even need to ask, but he decided to anyways, "What are you looking for?"
As blunt as Mikan ever was, she still answered, "Well, I need to find a birthday present for a friend of mine, but I can't seem to find the right one that's within my budget!"
"How come you're so eager to find a gift for Natsume?" he asked.
"Oh because...hey wait! I never said! Ah, right, your alice, I forgot about it," Mikan looked away embarrassed.
Kitsuneme decided to tease her, "You like him or something?"
Mikan blushed and then quickly argued, "I-I do not like like him! He's just, I just owe him. That, and he is a very precious friend, so I decided to get him a gift!"
Kokoroyomi formed a smile, "You know, we can find out what he wants for you. If you want that is."
"Really?" Koko and Kitsuneme nodded. "Can you? Please please please, oh pretty please!?" she begged.
"Sure," they replied. They were willing to do it without no strings attached, since it would bring them pleasure to see what'll happen next.
Mikan examined their clothing, "What's that? It looks cute!" She poked at it.
The two looked at the spot she was mentioning. "Oh this?" Koko and Kitsuneme both had one pinned onto their coats, keeping them together. "These are turtledoves," they smiled in sync.
You know, we'll always go for anything interesting, that's what best friends like to do together, right?
That's right buddy, it makes the jolly season, even jollier.
"...and a partridge in a pear tree."
Typer's Note-
Thanks you if you've actually checked this chapter because I think it's one of the best.
Mostly because of the Koko/cocoa thing...and you'll be seeing that a lot in the next couple of chapters.
By the way, sorry if the first chapter of TDoC doesn't really tie in with the rest of the story...
It was like a prologue and...well, whatever :P Hope you laughed.
Review because you have to, not ONLY because you want to ;] (hint hint)
