Fruit Of Knowlage
Awhile had passed since then, the only reason he thought about that time with the charismatic man was because he was waring the pink robe. Jack was not one to be wasteful. Even if he was getting weird looks from people in the grocery store. He was beginning to get desperate,money was running low. At most probably only afford a loaf of bread."YOO, JACK!" Damn had Aku minions found him? Already? He turned around quickly cursing himself for not taking his katana. But instead of a hoard of demons, his only saw a large pompadour and sunglasses. "Whoa, no need to get spooked, it's just me, Johnny." He said with his hands up. "Ahh, Johnny. I did not recognize you without the bunny slippers" Jack jested. "Ha ha, good one" Johnny said sarcastically. "I could see you a mile away in that pink kimono." He smiled pointing at his garb. Jack redirected the conversation. " Grocery shopping I see." "Well that and scoping out the hot mommas." Jack was confused. 'Hot momma'? what is a 'hot momma?' "Um, sorry I don't understand." "You know, hot momma, chicks, babydolls ,the ladies." Oh. " I see, so you are looking at women." "Hey now, don't make it creepy. I simply like to check out the daily specials." Johnny shot a look at a woman who if not pushing a cart, would have probably slapped him. "Heh, she just playing hard to get." "Anyway what's new?"
After chatting idly for what seemed like hours they left the store."I better get home, mama's waiting for me and these." Johnny gestured to the paper bag. " Wait, momma? So you have a wife, and she's waiting for you while you are flirting with a checkout clerk?" Jack honestly felt appalled. "What no, NO, not that type of momma, my momma, as in my mom." "Forgive me, so you help your mother with tasks?" Johnny scratched the back of his head. "Well, it's my food too." So he lives with his mother, that is quite kind of him to take care of her. Jack's smile dropped. He remembered the time he finally saw his mother after all those years he was gone, the last time they ever saw each other. "Yo, Jack, you alright?" "...Yes, I am fine." Johnny shrugged, he knew when something was up, but he also knew when to drop it. Jack was a cool guy, kinda like him. Besides for the Japanese get up, He seemed pretty average. Easy to get along with. It's kinda weird I didn't know about Jack before, I mean the guy sticks out like a sore thumb. "So when did you get here?" "I got here about a month ago I believe." "You don't remember when you moved here?" Another skill Jack learned was forgetting minutes, hours, days, weeks and years. He had to, it was the only way to sane. One thing he realized when coming to this town was that it seemed like it was not touched by Aku's influence. He knew Aku, He should have taken over a large country like this. Many questions were racing threw his head at this point. "I gotta turn the corner here, catch ya latter." "Goodbye." Jack waved, unable to shake his anxiety. He did not know how long it would be till Aku showed up again. If there was one thing he did know, it would be how Aku was always watching and scheming. Jack wondered how long he would be able to keep this life.
