Good Enough

Ch 2

Blair gently kissed her top lip and then her bottom lip, then placing a hand under her chin she lifted it up gently and positioned herself right at her ear. "St-stop." Breathing out a husky breath of hot air, she then brought her chin backed down to eye level and placed both lips on both of hers. "Mnng."

"When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not a pastime to her more than she is to me?" - Montaigne

Suddenly there was a very loud roar. Hair standing on end as the roar became louder and louder. The sound was quite unsettling. I looked in the direction of the roar and saw a white curtain of approaching rain. The sky had been turned pitch black being split into peices like cracks on a sidewalk by bright flashes of lightning. The sound of the flashes of lightning came out over the roar of the rain easily.
It was like a sound of impending doom... but all I could do was curl up at the foot of Maka's bed and stare out of her window as the wall of rain reached the house. The beads of rain harshly hitting and sliding down the plain of glass. No one was home and it was very lonely, all I could do was lay here and try to sleep. But my thoughts were keeping me awake.
'Was she ok yet or did she leave already...maybe they caught her?' It was so dark and cold in the house even with my fur. "I'm so bored! Ugh." Getting up off of the soft, warm bed I walked into the kitchen and out the door. "Hsssssss..."
The ground was wet from the harsh rain even under the protection of the roofing. 'I don't mind water. Well actually I love water, but that's in my human form. It's so fun to take bathes, it's not fun being pelted from the sky.' I walked quite snuggly to the wall to aviod as much as possible. It wasn't working very well.
The city looked so weird without anyone going about business as usual And to my utter dissapointment that Fish Salesmen wasn't there either. Maybe it was the weather, or maybe it was my boredom, but I was starting to feel really depressed. And it sucked!
So after a quick spell I became the flying-cat-on-a-pumpkin-in-a-storm-like-an-idiot. But I wasn't going to sit there, so out I went and almost getting struck by lightning how many times I reached it. The tunnel to the city.
'Oh my god was I soaked.' Trudging my way through quickly, I jumped down as fast as I could.'Falling... ABRUPT STOP! And I land on the ground.' Getting up I let my eyes, body, and hearing adjust to my new surroundings. The city was still as dazzling as the first time I even saw it. The eternal/nightly/hell-hole. The place had its pros, but it had alot more cons. Deadbeats, Gangs, Newbie Magic Users, Monsters, No Real Law, and ALOT of drugs and alcohol It really was a black market in all of retrospect. Not to mention the desperate people who get addicted to various things and do stupid shit in order to feed that craving.
Walking quickly through the crowd I tried my best to blend in and act like I wasn't looking for someone. Unless you've got the level of authority Vendetta has that would be a bad idea. But it was actually turning out to be alot harder than I thought, being soaking wet and all. I stood out just a little bit.
I thought about taking to the skies but the traffic up there was way to heavy and ridiculous. To many sweet-sixteen witches learning to fly a broomstick. 'Ugh.' Getting in line on one of the walkways I, along with various other creatures, waited for the signal that it was safe to cross without being run over by some makeshift steam-punk car.
Finally our sign turned green and we all surged forward like a rouge wave. However when I reached the other side I realized I had no fucking idea where I was heading or I needed to go. "Dammit..." Walking into one of the various maze-like alleyways I did a quick spell and conjured up my pumkinphone.
"Call Tony."
The phone started ringing. It rang, and it rang, and it rang, and it rang. Finally she picked up.
"Hello? Who the hell is this?"
"Ven-Tony it's me. Blair."
There was alot of noise coming from the other end, like she was at a restaurant or movie theater.
"Oh hey Blair! How you doin' sweetheart?"
"I'm ok, but hey I called because i'm actually 'in town' and I wanted to know where I could find you."
"You know this isn't the safest place to be alone and lost at right? But your a big girl, with magical pumpkin canamabobin' spellawhosits right? So your fine. Unless you were dumb enough to go in an alleyway that is. I swear those things are like the'a mother fuckin' Bermuda triangle of my city. People go in and don't eva' come back out."
I sweat-dropped extremely hard.
"No of course not. Know where are you?"
"I'm at Cheu'vx. I'll tell the guy at the front to be'a lookin' out for you and to let you through. Bye bye honey."
"Yeah thanks. Bye"
Hanging up I heard a noise. It was faint, but it sounded like the footsteps of a group...a group of drunks. "Oh shit." Suddenly about twenty 70's thug movie rejects jumped out of the shadows. Leather vests, shades, boots, the whole deal. Even a shrimpy little guy who stepped forward obviously the leader.
"Oh shit's right. You are in our domain know cutie. And 'aint nobody gonna save you or hear you scream." They all started laughing and the shrimpy guy unzipped his zipper.
"Oh hell no. Hell no. Listen here 'fellas. I'm going to walk away and pretend you didn't just say that. Ok?" Turning to leave they all surrounded me. "Awww, isn't she just adorable! Acting like she can take all of us on ha ha! Come here honey. I won't hurt 'ya."

Walking out of the alleyway I wiped my hands off on my jeans, it got a little bit more bloody then I had intended. 'Know where was that shavaks place..." Shrimpy stumbled out of they alley and pulled out a switchblade, "You'll pay for that!" He lunged.

After I disposed of the body, some friendly onlookers directed me to the restaurant and true to her word, a man was expecting me and led me to the back. "They are at the back miss." He walked away. 'Wait...they?' When I reached the furthest part of the place I saw Vendetta sitting down with Mizune having a conversation that was way out of my league And it pissed me off. "Ha ha! Yeah? Well then what would you say if you'n were still wearing that mask and instead of that guy a-runnin' away he asked you who you were. That plan wouldn't work then."
"Actually that would only alter the outcome slightly. For 'who' is just an altered function of 'what', and what I am is 'a woman in a mask who is going to kill you'." 'What the hell?' Vendetta got a good laugh from that for about...4-5 minutes before FINALLY noticing me.
"Oh Blair! How long have you been standing there hun- oh god your soaking wet! What happened?" She ran up to me taking her ragged cloak off and wrapped around my shoulders. It felt just as creepy as it looked. She didn't wear anything underneath but a black bra, but she didn't seem to mind. "Oh, I guess we really have a wet pussy in here don't we?" Everyone in the room laughed.
My face became flustered and I looked down at the table next to me. The floor beneath was tiled black and white like a chess board. The covering of the table was scarlet red with alot of silver silver-wear adorned on top Strangely it had no chairs around it.
I quickly came back to my senses and remembered that little comment. So picking up a silver knife I lunged it in her direction with great speed and accuracy causing several gasps. She dodged it by just leaning to the right only slightly, a devilish smirk with closed eyes adorned her face, and the knife impaled itself into one of the caterers back. "Oh my god. Sorry!" The poor man fell to the ground but everyone that had gathered around him said he was fine.
"I swear to god Blair. You weren't in this here'n place for one minute. ONE MINUTE and you stab one of my workers with a knife!" "I'm sorry!" Mizune casually wiped her mouth with a napkin, finishing her meal I could care less about, and walked over to us making a little triangle. She walked as if she knew she pissed me off and was proud of it. Her shirt was large and white that layed low on her shoulders exposing the upper region of her breasts. There was a black tank top underneath, I think, I could only see the straps. 'She always has to expose something. Ugh.' Her black skinny jeans couldn't possibly get any tighter. "Tsk tsk tsk, you still have a temper." To my great shock Vendetta hit her in the back of the head harshly.
"Take it outside," she gestured with her two fingers out the door I had come in, "And settle this'n before I really get pissed. Know go on." Mizune sighed and actually walked out of the building. She actually left. I turned to my friend in disbelief, my eyes bulging, "Teach me your ways wise one!"
She hit me too. "Ow!" It hurt, like a Maka-chop...maybe? A teardrop rolled down my face but again she could care less. "You too." Taking back her cloak she gave me an extra nudge to make sure I got the message Sulking I walked out to see that Mouse-Bitch waiting for me with her arms crossed. "What?"
"And why were you waiting for me."
"Two reasons. I still have to thank you properly and 'repay' you. And i'm sorry for what I said in there. I just couldn't resist the temptation."
"Yeah...sure. I don't believe that second bit but that first bit fogs my memory. Like nothing happened. What did you say again?"
She rolled her eyes.
"You haven't even told me what you want yet."
"Oh yeah! Can we discuss this in that hotel room your staying in? It's hardly proper out in this mess."
Mizune nodded without even thinking it over, or she did it really quickly, and turned around. Fire erupted underneath her causing my hair to raise up slightly but I managed to suppress the hiss, and she flew off towards the black pyramid that was her hotel.
"Mousy took the cheese, know to snap the bait." Briskly walking to the hotel I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. Next thing I knew I was in front of the door Vendetta had taken Mizune to knocking. Room 524.
Mizune opened the door and let me in, a confused almost scared look spread across her face as she shut the door. Trying to ignore it I looked around. It really was a nice room!
The walls were a pale-sand-like color to match the Egyptian theme of course. One of the walls however were glass panels that showed a beautiful view of the city. The bed was large with brown sheeting and one red pillow in the middle for contrast. Of course there was a bathroom to the left but I thought wise to avoid.
Turning around I saw Mizune was leaning on the door, arms crossed, still starring at me. "Ok, what? What is it? Why are you starring at me?"
"Why are you purring."
"What?" Sure enough as soon as the words left my mouth a loud purring filled my eardrums and apparently the room. I got flushed for the second time that night and turned around muttering an apology trying to get it to stop. 'Honestly what can I say? I'm a cat. Cats purr!' "Why are you purring?" She repeated herself, obviously suspicious. "I'm a cat. Cats purr when they get excited."
"And why are you excited." Know walking towards me she cocked her head to one side slightly showing she was confused. But her arms were still crossed, so she was still suspicious.
"Who wouldn't be excited being rewarded for a good deed! Unlike you i'm not a criminal so calm down." I plopped down, sprawled out, and made myself comfortable. "I guesses " She sat down at the edge of the bed. "Ok, so know, about this payment?" Rolling over with my hands under my chin I propped myself up. My breasts adding extra support. "Yeah, so it's been about a week since I saved you," my legs automatically began swinging back and forth like a teenage girl, "And do you remember what you said?"
Mizune turned towards me, back facing the door, looking a bit more relaxed but confused. "Not clearly why?" I smiled and with one of my hands began twirling circles in the air, "Pu-pu-pumpkins I love pumpkins. Pumpkins pumpkins pu-pu-pumpkin!" She looked at me with a ''What The Fuck" face. "What was that all about."
"I don't know. Haven't you ever seen a Disney movie were they break out into song and-" "Ok ok ok whatever. Know what did I say?!" Losing her patience the mouse witch scowled at me. "Well, you said that you were willing to repay me-"
"I know that."
"I wasn't finished! You said you were willing to repay me in any shape, way or form." I stated matter-of-factly.
"What does that have to do with anything..." She was know concerned, having gotten off the bed and took a step backwards.
"Well you said ANY SHAPE WAY OR FORM, and I know what I want." Mizune was know scared, almost catching on.
An awkward silence stretched across the room. It was almost like a staring contest with no winner. "That is..." I motioned with a finger to come closer. She obeyed but only took about half a step. Doing the motion again she came closer still. Sighing I stood up and walked over to where the scared witch stood and motioned again. Know confused she leaned down slightly to meet me face-to-face.
'Closing the trap' I leaned forward closing the distance and whispered into her ear, "I want you." Startled Mizune jumped backwards and grabbed hold of the wall, "What!?" Laughing I repeated my statement, "I want you."
"Um...wow...ok, what do you mean?!"
"Well it's a long story, but your not going anywhere anytime soon..." "Huh?" She turned racing for the door and in vain tried opening it. "Wha-? How? Why is it locked?"
"I wasn't singing dumb ass I had cast a spell. Duh." She was still shaking the doorknob.
"As I was saying, recently I've been bored. And when I say 'bored' I mean that the guys I sometimes hook up with are boring! Most of them are anal-preferring-assholes so I rarely climax too. And it's been taking it's toll. But know I have a little confession. I wasn't out on the town because I was worried for Maka and her friends with that explosion, it was because I was investigating. I was just looking around when BAM! In an alleyway there were these two girls making out. Hardcore! They looked like they were having fun too...fun that I haven't had in a while. So I thought I would give it a go, but with who? Who was hot enough and worth the effort? Then it hit me. You! You are! You are the only ONLY person to ever be compared with me. So knowing my-soon-to-be-target I explored some more trying to figure out a plan when I saw that explosion. I got curious and started heading over when I heard someone in an alleyway either being raped or throwing up. And who was it? It was you. Wounded and helpless, I almost felt bad for you."
Mizune was staring at me with her mouth open like some idiot obviously not believing me. "I'm serious." Then she started laughing. Laughing at me! "Hahaha haahaha!" I got angry again. Leaning against the wall near the door again the dumb ass had one hand on her stomach and the other against the solid surface still laughing.
Quickly walking up to her I restrained one of her arms, grabbed the other and restrained it. Before she could react I roughly bit her neck, my cat-like fangs drawing blood like vampire. "Aungh!" I pulled back and licked the blood coming from the two holes. 'She at least stopped laughing.' I pulled my head back a bit further to look at her face. Hopefully the look I was giving stated how serious I was.
My prey then wriggled in either pain or fear, who knows and who cares, she was trying to get away. Frowning I bit her again, trying my best to avoid bloodshed this time. She stopped moving. I stopped biting.
"Oh my god...""Oh, is it finally sinking in smart girl?! Well either you cooperate and this will go smoothly and easily, if you don't however, holes in your neck will be the last thing you need to worry about." The look on her face, oh god it was perfect. Letting go I walked over to the switch on the wall and turned off the lights. I didn't notice a difference really, good night vision. I turned around expecting to see her either trying to flee or fight, but she was still standing by the wall stunned. That caused me to feel guilty, 'I must have been to rough...' Walking up to her I placed a hand under her chin and made her look me in the eyes. "I'm sorry I hurt you...but this doesn't have to be painful " I gave her a weak smile with which she replied with a look of anger. "Ugh!" I think she just know realized how fucked she really was from the get-go. "I won't go down without a fight..." "Oooh. That just makes it even more fun for me!"

After that everything became vague and distant. Instinct took over, and I let it. And it felt good.

I woke up exhausted and confused. Opening my eyes I was blinded by pink. Bright pink. "Augh!" Falling from what was a bed I hit the floor hard. Then something, or someone in the bed began to move. Upon further examination I realized that a. I was naked b. Mizune was in the bed c. she was naked d. and I was pretty sure we had slept a while. My jaw dropped when I realized what had happened.
She realized too and looked down at me. "What happened last night..." Getting up and sitting down on the bed I tried to think back, "I don't really remember..."
"Nothing at all?"
"Nope."
"Well I do... pieces of it anyway."
"Tell me! Did you give up, cry, beg for mercy, fight, kick-"
"...No and yes. I gave in after a while," she became very flustered, her face going as red as her hair was pink, "After that is a blur, but we...uhm..oh god how do I say this...we went about 12-18 rounds last night before we both p-passed out..."
I joined her, my face probably redder than hers. "Ar-are you serious." Wrapping herself under the covers she nodded. "Oh. My. God." Doing what she did I tried my best to remember, but I couldn't. But I didn't doubt that she was lying, for several reasons. 1. when I woke up we were both naked spooning 2. I'm exhausted 3. and hungry 4. and there's a taste in my mouth and on my fingers that I can't describe. 'Though if it was that many rounds it must have been great, I've never gotten past 4 before...'
Rolling myself so I was facing, rather than my back be to her I scooted upwards a bit and wrapped my arms around her stomach. "B-Blair." She sounded alarmed, but didn't move. I leaned up and rolled her down on her back so I was hovering over her. For some reason my eyelids were halfway closed. Exhausted or instinct? Probably a little bit of both. I couldn't see much of her but what I wanted wasn't below.
'Just a taste...' I leaned in and kissed her, softly but with alot of curiosity and passion.
You know that saying or reference of those 'sparks'. Well that's what I felt at that moment. But it wasn't exactly sparks, it was more or less like someone turned on ummm... an oven and set the fire's flame and temperature to low. It started in my stomach 'till it had spread throughout my entire body. "Mmng." I moaned, even though it caused me alot of embarrassment and the bitch beneath me would probably say something later.
Then something I didn't expect happened, Mizune actually began kissing me back! It made the 'fire' in my body simmer even hotter. She moaned and wrapped her hands around my neck, one hand holding me closer, the other playing with my hair. God it must have been 1,000 degrees in the room by know. Taking that as an encouragement I layed down on top of her, my left hand holding her chin, my right held the side of her head. As one of her legs slipped in between mine so we could both get more comfortable and 'intimate' things got hotter, literally.
That flame I was feeling either spread from me to her, or she was feeling one too and it spread to me, but either way they mixed. It felt like I was as close as possible, and oh, did it feel good. We broke away temporarily gasping for air. Laying my head down on the pillow I still found it hard to catch my breath. "That was why you got me, but the feeling wasn't that intense." Purring I kissed her again. I didn't care if it was to soon or whatever.
Mizune bit my bottom lip gently and I opened my mouth and allowed her entrance. Our tongues began wrestling for dominance but neither of us won. Hunger got the better of us both. I leaned up, stopping the kiss, and got out of the bed. "I'm starving, how do you get food in this place?"
She got out of bed too, but didn't give me long to look before she put on her underwear and bra which had been left in the floor. "It's easy. I'll show you." Walking over to the other side of the bed she picked up the receiver and started speaking french out of nowhere, "(1)Ah oui, bonjour à vous aussi... Oui, oui, je veux commander quelque chose à manger... Deux. Je voudrais deux ordres de Tilapia avec un peu d'eau... Dans l'onglet 'Tony' via, Mizune. Oui, je vais attendre que vous le confirmer... Merci."
I looked at her, "What? Since when could you speak fluent french?"
"I found out about 3 days ago the cook here was french, and I found that when I spoke his native tongue to him, the food got here faster with alot better quality. Sometimes with a little something extra."
"Oh...sweet. But why can you speak french?"
"It's a little difficult to explain, but one of my sisters was nativly french. And due to that factor we all learned how to speak it, but we still don't sound as fluent and natural as her. This form, however, is a finagle because not only can I speak french, I can speak it better accessing her brogue. Quid pro quo."
"...ok..."
True to her word there came a knock from the door. "(2)Le laisser dehors, je viendrai le chercher." That was that. Mizune walked over to the door and looked through that eye-hole-seeing-thingy and opened it.
I was drooling all over myself as she rolled in the cart, shutting the door behind her. "What is that~." "That is called Tilapia, try it." The Tilapia smelled heavenly, cooked to perfection with all the right herbs and spices, but most importantly it was fish. Grabbing a plate I began eating, without any silverware. 'I was starving!'
"You really must be famished..." We both sat on the bed and ate our meal. That french guy gave us some cake to, I didn't want any. It was Carrot Cake and that didn't sound good. Taking a sip of water I realized something, "Wait a minute, your eating Tilapia?!"
"Yes...why would I not?"
"I dunno, why aren't you eating cheese or something like that?"
"Veeery original Blair. Actually i'm quiet fond of fish and all five of us are allergic to cheese."
I stared at her, "Really?" She nodded and drank the last of her water. I started giggling. I couldn't help it! A mouse that was allergic to cheese! That was a first. I broke out into a fit of laughter, "Ahahahaahahahhaaha!" That really annoyed her. Taking the silverware from my hands and placing it on the nightstand she hit me in the back causing me to fall face-first onto the floor...for the second time.
"Hey what the hell!?" She looked down at me and crossed her arms, "It's not funny. Cheese is a fungus. I'm allergic to that fungus, it effects my lungs. Just the mere smell of it and I begin to asphyxiate. It's fatal Blair."
"Oh, should we put that on your tombstone? 'Death By Cheese." I started giggling again so she kicked me, "Ow! Ok ok i'll stop." Getting up and walking over to the fridge she refilled her glass of water. I turned into a cat, without my hat, and started rubbing her legs, "Will you pet me? Pleeeeeaaaaase. I'll be a good kitty I promise."
"Why don't you just leave?" I had made her mad...I didn't even know that we could get along to begin with.
"I'm sorry ok. That's just like a kishin being allergic to souls. Or if Snooky became allergic to tanning spray and pickles. It's unexpected and not natural."
She laughed and I smiled "I guess you have a point." Walking back to the bed she layed down and took some more sips of water. I leaped up and layed down on her stomach, she was really warm. Taking her free hand she began stroking my back causing me to purr. "Your like a little fuzzy vibrator you know that?" That embarrassed me so I ignored it. The mouse-witch turned on the TV at the foot of the bed but after scrolling through nothing was on.
"Hey Mizune."
"Hm?"
"What time is it anyways?" She quickly checked the clock on the wall I hadn't noticed before.
"It's 12:47."
"AM or PM."
"AM..."
"Oh...no wonder i'm even more exhausted then before."
I turned back into a woman and got under the covers to sleep, I was afraid she might roll over me if I was a cat. "Goodnight, uhm well, morning I guess." "Goodnight Blair." She rolled over on her side to go to sleep as well , and I couldn't resist. I scooted up and cuddled against her in a perfect spooning position. Mizune didn't seem to mind.

For two more days things went almost exactly like that. We actually would get along fine and she would tell me the most interesting things. I could feel myself becoming smarter! Then one of us would say something that would piss the other off and a small fight would ensue. 'Haha I used a big word. Go me. Go me. Aw yeah!' Then it would either just fade away and be forgotten or one of us would apologies We had sex a couple of more times too. With each time I could remember more and more but it never got boring. In fact it got better. Honestly she was better than all of the guys I have been with all put into one. Cloud 9 became cloud 14.
But eventually we both overstayed our welcome and left the city giving sincere thanks to Vendetta. She didn't suspect anything. At the mouth of the tunnel we both agreed to keep what happened a secret. It would do no one any good if any one found out. And after that we left.

I arrived back at Maka and Soul's home at about 12:56 pm. It was a Saturday so I was pretty sure no one would be home and they would all be out playing basketball. But when I walked inside Kid ,Liz, Patty, Black Star, Tsubaki, Maka, and Soul were gathered in the living room having a heated discussion about something. I hid behind the couch and listened.
Soul was first to speak, "I don't know...She doesn't exactly 'live here' and she is old enough to be alone...I think. Remember she has her own house." 'Were they talking about me?' Kid replied.
"I agree Soul, but she is quiet fond of us as well. It isn't her normal behavior to disappear for four days without even saying something to anyone. Liz and I did some research and found that cats are normally creatures of routine. Changing something could drastically alter their behavior."
Soul responded back, "Well she isn't a normal cat is she? And doesn't she prefer to be constantly fucking shit up so she won't get bored." 'Ouch, that one hurt Scythe Boy.' "She probably just got bored and left the house and is preoccupied about something."
Tsubaki didn't seem comforted, "She still would have at least left a note..."
"Tsubaki it's nothing to worry about, i'm telling you."
Maka said something next, "Will she come back?"
"I don't know. If she found something more interesting then us, no." Shocking everyone, the young meister seemed to get really upset at that comment and stomped upstairs, locking herself in her room. Everyone followed, and so did I Black Star started beating on the door, "Come on Maka! I'll drag this cat back here if you want!" Everyone hit him. "Ow!" Soul tapped the door lightly, then screamed at it causing me to jump. "LOOK MAKA, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE KNOW. YOU SAID IT YOURSELF, YOU 'HATED BLAIR' AND WISHED SHE 'WOULD GO AWAY'. WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS?" There was only a soft reply, "Go away!" "Maka..."
I was confused but decided to see why Maka had locked herself in her room. Last time she did that she was depressed and confused about that whole kishin Asura thing.
I walked back outside and jumped up on a few trashcans 'till I was on the neighboring roof. Then I jumped onto Maka's roof. I looked over and saw the edging underneath her window, and thank god, her window was open. I hopped down and looked inside.
Maka was curled up in a ball on her bed with all of the lights off. I didn't know why though... "Maka...?" She sprang up and looked around, "Blair?" "The window." She ran towards me and upon picking me up began to squeeze the life out of me with a hug. "Ma-ma-I-ca-bre-slth-breath!" Letting go I landed on her bed sprawled on my back gasping for air. "I'm so sorry! Were did you go!?"
Finally catching my breath I looked at her, she had been crying. With a puff of smoke I turned into my human form, with clothes 'Maka didn't like it when I didn't wear clothes' and gave her a hug. She looked like she needed it.
Crying into my shoulder my human friend hugged me back and began mumbling words I couldn't understand. "Maka sweetheart " I backed up so I could see her, "I can't understand you." Laughing I wiped the tears off of her face. It didn't look right, she was so strong normally.
We both sat down on the bed and I rubbed her back until she calmed down enough to speak clearly. The pounding on the door still hadn't stopped. "What's wrong?"
"You left, and...I thought you would never come back..."
"Really? No offense but your the one who usually gets mad at me the most. Why would you want me back? I mean i'm happy and flattered you feel that way but I don't understand why."

Ok, that knocking was getting on my ever lasting nerve. "KNOCK IT OFF!" I heard a mumbled reply, "Blair?! Was that you?" She finally answered,
"I don't hate you, it's just annoying when you do that flirting thing to Soul," she wiped her eyes and both of us laughed, "But even with that...I can't help but think of you sorta like a second mom..." My heart shattered into billions of tiny pieces.
"I mean, I know I have my Mom, and she sends me letters and all...but she isn't really in my life anymore. Then you came along. At first you were really annoying and I wanted Soul to eat the rest of your souls but those moments when you weren't doing that stuff you were really nice, understanding, and all-in-all like a mom. And I grew to think of you that way. It filled that little void in my life my mother left. And when I thought you were leaving, it was like loosing my mom all over again."
I practicly grabbed/choked Maka into a hug, I was crying a little bit but I didn't want her to see. "I am so sorry...I promise i'll tell you next time if I ever leave again. And if I do leave I will always come back. Ok?" Hugging me back and then letting go she stood up and wiped her face with her sleeve, "I guess i have to open the door."
"Nah, leave it to me." She was confused but let me do it anyways.
I opened the door quickly and screamed, "DON'T LOOK! WE ARE BOTH NAKED AND READING." They all turned and ran down the stair as fast as possible. It made me laugh a little. "See? I told you." Oh god did she look pissed and annoyed. Gritting her teeth she walked out, "Glad to have you back Blair .." As she began heading downstairs I heard her begin screaming, "NEITHER OF US ARE OR WERE NAKED! NOTHING HAPPENED! I SWEAR TO GOD SOUL IF YOUR NOSE IS-" There was a loud thud. "His nose must have been bleeding." I smiled and started walking downstairs.
"Hey guys!" Everyone looked at me with a red face. The coffee table was smashed and Soul was lying in it's remaining pieces motionless. It got really awkward until Patty said something.
"The cat lady is back! Where did she go?" Liz took the hint "Interesting question Patty, where DID you go Blair?" I acted as calm and normal as could be, "It was raining really bad here, and I got bored AND lonely so I left to find some place warmer and not as dead as this city was. I didn't go anywhere in particular." Tsubaki ran up and gave me a hug. Patty joined, then Maka, Black Star,Kid,Soul, and Liz. I felt so loved, and claustrophobic But it was a little funny that I towered over all of them, except Tsubaki and Liz. They were pretty tall. "Ok guys, it's getting hard to breath like this." They all let go, Maka being the last.
Smiling I tried to lighten the mood, "Let's go outside or something, have some fun!" "Yeah! Yahoo!" Everyone agreed and we walked outside. I turned into my cat form, with my hat, and took a ride on Maka's head. My hat was blocking the sunlight for both me and my 'pony'.

We eventually reached the basketball court. It was a beautiful day, the sky was bright blue without a single cloud. The few trees around the court were as green as ever, must have been from the rain. The graphiti spelled something that we still didn't know what it spelled. The walls were however a pale-yellow color. The asphalt was faded black/grey and everyone decided not to change clothes. Elizabeth/Liz was the first to run onto court with a basketball. She temporarily regained her Brooklyn accent that had faded while being over here, "Know I'm gonna' show you punks how to play it right!" Patty joined her sister immediately hunching down, laughing hysterically It was one of their old intimidation tricks.
Liz had dark blonde hair that reached her mid-back, dark blue eyes, and semi-tanned skin. She had smaller breasts than her little sister, 'which annoyed her to no end'. Patty is 'physically' older than Kid, Black Star, Soul and Maka, though she is the youngest. She had chin-length, bright yellow/blonde hair with bangs, light blue eyes, and bigger boobs than her sister even though she is older and taller. Both of the Thompson sisters wore cowgirl outfits: A tight sleeveless red turtleneck belly shirt with a white tie, cowboy hat and black high-heel boots. However, unlike Patty, Liz wore long jeans and two silver bracelets on each wrist. Also there is a subtle difference in their hats. Patty's hat has rounded rims, whilst Liz's hat has rims that slant forward.
Everyone laughed and ran on the court, Kid quickly stealing the ball and tossing it to Soul. Apparently they already knew what teams they would be in. One team was Kid,Soul, and Black Star. The other consisted of Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki. Classicle boy v.s. girl scenario.
Me and Maka however sat on one of the benches, though she never pulled out a book. I think she was actually trying to figure out the game by watching it. I jumped down by her feet. "Blair? You going to go play?"
"Nah, that's not my type of game. Or idea of fun. But how come you aren't playing?"
"I don't know how...and no one has even tried explaining to me."
"I can if you want me to."
"You know how to play?!"
"Yeah I used to be a cheerleader at one point."
"Alright then..."
"You do know the basics right?"
"I think so, you get the ball in the hoop as many times as possible right?"
"Pretty much. I remember the coach's explanation to me," I tried my best to get a deep voice to impersonate a man, "'When moving the basketball around the court, the players must travel around using a technique called Dribbling. To dribble, the player must not take more than a step and a half without the ball coming into contact with the court's ground and back to the players' hand again in a bouncing motion. If more than 1 and a half steps are taken this is a Travelling violation. Once the player has stopped dribbling they may not move again until the ball comes to them from another player. Each shot taken can be done either inside or outside the shooting Area. Outside the shooting area a successful shot is worth 3 points and inside the area is worth 2 points. However inside the shooting area, there is an area named The key in which players may not remain for More than 3 seconds to prevent goal hanging. Additional single points can be scored from the free throw line in a penalty'."
"Whats the 'shooting areas'?"
"You see that giant rectangle around the court?"
"Mm hmm."
"You have to stay inside those lines, or your out of bounds. The two smaller ones inside are the shooting areas were points are determined. You shoot outside of it, 3 points, inside 2 points, or you can dunk which is still 2 points but looks cooler."
"What's a dunk?"
"Were you take the ball and put it directly into the hoop, without shooting. You just jump up and shove it in the hoop."
"...I think i'm beginning to understand..."
After explaining the complicated rules to Maka, she stood up ready to play. This was going to be history. "Hey guys can I play?" Everyone stopped and looked at her, like a cow fell from the sky. Black Star however was happy that she wanted to join, "Really!? Ok then. We will do a free-for-all, first one to get 10 points wins." Maka looked at me nervously but I smiled, "Same rules apply!"
Maka grinned for the first time, actually ready. Black Star screamed that he would hold the ball first. He stood in the center, Liz behind him, Patty to Liz's left. Tsubaki was to the right, beside the blue-haired-boy. Soul was in front of him, Kid was to the left of Soul, but Maka however stood behind Liz. Nothing moved and they all looked at me. "Oh! Am I supposed to say go? Umm...well, GO!"
Black Star quickly turned around and twisted around Liz. She tried to steal the ball but he bounced it up higher than where she could reach, and grabbed it after it hit the ground. Patty ran straight into him, knocking him over, and took the ball running in the opposite direction. "Hey! Foul! I call a foul!" "STREET RULES MAN!" Tsubaki tried to avenge her fallen' meister but Patty pushed the ball under/between her legs and jumped over her. It was impressive. She however didn't stick the landing and fell to her left.
Kid picked up the ball as it reached the 'shooting line' and took a shot. Soul jumped up and blocked it. The ball bounced backwards from the recoil and Maka grabbed it. She stood still, dribbling, as everyone slowly came closer towards her. 'Come on Maka, I've seen you in action before, and you can throw a book like a pro. You can do it!' Soul taunted her, "It's ok guy's, Maka's got the ball." Black Star snickered and they high-fived each other.
Suddenly we all heard it, "Go Maka! Can she do it, yes she can. If she can't no one can! Papa's rooting for you baby!" It was Spirit. Maka's father. His shoulder length red hair was know put into a pigtail and he wore a cheerleaders outfit. He even had two white pom-poms. "Oh my god..."
He was cheering for his daughter, but he was on the court line, and Maka saw that too. She threw the ball at him. Hard. As he flew backwards from the impact crying something about his daughter hating him, the ball sailed right for one of the hoops. Though it was to for to the right and would overshoot.
Maka ran towards the hoop however determined to make it. She wasn't going to... But out of no where the determined girl jumped up to an incredible height and managed to catch the ball mid-air, then slammed it into the basket with a loud swooshing noise. Maka Albarn, the worst at basketball, just preformed a one-player-only-alley-oop.
Everyone stood rooted to the ground as the girl just dangled, still holding on to the rims, even though the ball was rolling away. Finally letting go she landed on the ground and turned around, the biggest smile on her face. Then all her friends cheered. Running to her and picking her up, they proceeded to toss her up and down in the air chanting her name. "Maka! Maka! Maka!" Even Black Star.

We were walking home as the sun was setting, everyone was still talking about her amazing en devour They had eventually continued playing, even though Spirit just sat on the bench cheering for her quietly with broken teeth. The score went:
Black Star: 6
Kid: 8 (He stopped playing after he reached the score.)
Soul: 4
Tsubaki: 2
Patty 4
Liz: 1
Maka: 6
Even though she didn't win, we were all very proud of her. "Next time I want Maka on my team!"
"No way Black Star! She's MY meister, so she's on MY team!"
"What!? No she's gonna be on the team with the GREAT BLACK STAR!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
I intervened as I jumped up onto Maka's shoulder, "Actually, she's still a bookworm. So I don't think she will be playing again anytime soon." Before the words even left my mouth she had pulled out a book and started reading it, oblivious to our conversation. "Then I guess she won't be reading then! Patty, execute plan: I'M AWSOME AND BOOKS ARE LAME."
Apparently Black Star and Patty had another ''prank'' planned and this time our little meister was the victum. Patty ran infront of Kid and her older sister grabbing the book from her hand and sprinted ahead laughing, Black Star right behind her.
"HEY GIVE THAT BACK!"
"PATTY TOSS IT OVER!"

There. Our little cute/happy ending before things start to turn for the worse. (Cue dramatic music) *DUH DUH DUUUUUUHN* What's going to happen in chapter 3 that could be so bad? Hints were given above.

Languages: French. Translation:

(1) Ah yes, good evening to you too...yes I would like to order something to eat...Two. I'd like two orders of Tilapia with some water please...Tab goes to 'Tony' via Mizune. Yes, i'll wait for you to confirm...thank you.

(2)Leave it outside, i'll come out and get it.

author's note:
The first chapter was told in a sort of omnipresent, all-knowing, non-existent narrator just so you could get a feel of the setting and characters. It was never meant to stay that way throughout the entire story. From know on it will be 1st person, (which is a pain in the ass to write until you get used to it.)
And those times I used weren't just random. That was the time I was writing it in one of the 1-3 days it took me. Though both in reality were AM but I had to change one to PM to fit the story line. I just woke up in the middle of the night and wrote on this until about, 2 AM, which was when my laptop died.
I had alot of fun writing this though. I actually would get very upset if I was forced off of this and had to put this story on hold. Sleep, Food, Showers. Who needs 'em? I'm just kidding. Except for the food part. I'm so nocturnal I rarely eat...

And explaining that game basketball was a pain in my ass. I had to use wiki so many time it wasn't even funny.
INTERESTING FACT
As I'm writing this i'm not even done with the chapter yet. I find the beginnings to always be the hardest so I start in the middle, finish, and then write the beginning. So yeah...it's 10:34, let's see how long it takes.
LATER
11:06. Yay. I'll reread this, edit, and upload it after I sleep...
