"What's he say?" I asked, looking up at Tegan as she walked over.
"Well, I told him the truth and he believed me." She began, stopping and leaning on the side of the pew I was on. "He also said we shouldn't mess with anything, let everything happen how it should." I stared at her for a moment before looking back at Fujimoto.
"Wait… so we just sit back while he dies?" I asked, keeping my voice low so no one else but her could hear me. She didn't say anything, just stand there and kick her leg back and forth. "What about Rin? Doesn't that mess him up completely?"
"Who wouldn't be messed up after that? But we can't change anything, so no interfering with what's going to happen." She said, looking a bit down herself. "Also, you probably can't hook up with Amaimon." She whispered softly, a mischievous glint in her eye. I pouted and flipped her off for the millionth time that day.
"I wouldn't hook up with him…just screw him…" I muttered to myself, placing my forehead on my knees. "I'm so fricken confused…"
"Join the club, but there's more important matters to deal with."
"Like what?"
"Why we're here, for one." She stated, looking around the church.
"Which one of us sold their soul, then?" I joked.
"You know in this world that's a very likely possibility, but still not what happened. I didn't and you're too stupid to even sell a muffin at lunch." I huffed at her, puffing out my cheeks.
"Girls, are you two hungry by chance?" Fujimoto asked, walking towards us.
"Oh, yeah, we didn't get a chance to eat before." Tegan merely gestured around her, indicating the circumstances that have just happened.
"Well, Rin usually cooks for us but if you'd like I can give you some fruit, that way he's not insulted that we didn't wait for him." He offered, smiling kindly. I swallowed, missing the taste of the meat lovers pizza Tegan had made before. I wondered silently if it had come through with us, I'd still eat it if it were on the ground, but fruit kinda sounded good. "Please, come back to the kitchen." He said, gesturing for us to follow. Tegan moved first, moving behind him as she continued to look around. I rose up a few moments later and jogged to catch up, trying to keep my breasts from bouncing to much without the security of my bra.
The kitchen was humble with little decorations except for a few crosses here and there. I squinted at them, trying to conjure up any facts that were buried in my mind to keep me entertained. "Help yourself, girls, just don't get to full." Yukio said kindly, gesturing to the fruit bowl on the table. I stared at the arrangement and looked at it from all angles, trying to pick out which one I wanted.
"What's that red and yellow one?"
"A peach, dumbass." Tegan snickered. I glared at her and snagged a Gala apple, biting it angrily.
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name, miss." Yukio said, smiling at me. I chewed a few more times, looking at him suspiciously before swallowing.
"I'm Jazzmin Calhoun, call me Jazz."
"Ah, like the flower." He said, laughing slightly.
"Not in the slightest, four-eyes." I said, turning away from him and looking at the first thing I saw, which happened to be Tegan's shoulder. He seemed taken aback by this but didn't make a move to start another conversation.
"She's my adopted sister." Tegan said, shrugging like it was no big deal.
"So that's why you two are so different." Yukio said lowly before putting away some dishes. I simply smirked and winked at him.
"HEY! I'm home! Is dinner ready?" A voice called out from the other room.
"We were waiting for you, Rin, where have you been?" Fukimoto asked, walking into the room the voice came from. I turned to Tegan who's eyes were trained on the door. Muffled voices came from the other room as Fujimoto talked to Rin. I nudged Tegans foot under the table and smirked, chewing my apple slowly. She kicked me back, making me bend over in pain and hold my ankle.
"Oops." She said dryly, going back to eating her peach. Fujimoto came back into the kitchen, trailed by a young teen boy with navy blue hair and bright blue eyes. He stopped at the doorway and placed and angry hand on his side.
"I gotta cook two moer helpings? Great." Fujimoto was on him in seconds, holding him in a choke hold.
"You will show these young ladies respect, Rin! They are honored guests and shall be treated as such!" He yelled at the captive teen, who's face had gone from pale, to pink, to red, to blue before he was released.
"Wait..lay-DEES?" He asked, looking me and Tegan over.
"She might be a man." I said, pointing at Tegan, who slapped the back of my head. I growled and turned around so I was facing away from her and towards Rin. Said teen only looked between us, wondering what was going on before shrugging.
"Fine, whatever, I'll start." He sighed, throwing his bag into the corner and going to the stove, pre-heating a skillet. I finished my apple and looked around for the bin, not finding one, my eyes locked on Rin's head as he stirred some rice in a pot. My wrist cocked back, twisting to get a good shot before noticing the 'do not even think about it' look Tegan was sending me. I raised my eyebrows innocently before looking at Fujimoto, raising the core questioningly.
"Oh, it's outside, sorry, but with Rin rarely doing his chores we put it out there." He said, looking up from his Bible.
"Ok, just point the way, I got energy I need to burn anyway."
"It's the door at the end of the hall, it's just around the corner." He said, gesturing to the doorway.
"Don't eat without me." I told Tegan before scurrying down the hallways, apple held carefully in my hands. I made it to the door pretty fast and stared out of its window, looking at the sky. I was happy to see that it was a clear night and the stars were showing. I opened the door and stepped out, closing it behind me and rounding a corner to the trash cans, placing the apple core into one and walking further back into the yard.
The air smelled like fresh cut grass and honey-suckle with a nice warm breeze. I smiled and breathed it in. Part of me was so happy I was here, the other half hated it, knowing that right now there was probably a police hunt for me back home. I started to spin while I walked, careful not to let my leg lock up when a window opened on the building.
"Oi, get back in here! Dinner's almost ready!" Rin yelled out.
"Make me, runt!" I yelled back. Rin looked over his shoulder curiously.
"Tegan says get in here or she's taking away all the images she emailed to you." He relayed to me. I turned ghost white at the thought and ran around the church, screaming for mercy as I nearly knocked down the door to the church and rushed into the kitchen, diving onto the ground at Tegans feet.
"Ok, ok! I'm in! Don't take my precious pictures, not again." I begged, holding onto her leg. She merely looked down at me smirking.
"How am I gonna take your pics if I don't know the password to your email, idiot?"
I bit her leg again.
