I know this chapter can't make up the long gap in updating, but this is all I can do for now, 'cause school's being a bitch.
Enjoy.
Yukari & Madeline
The sun slowly ascended along with the temperature. Coiling in her bed, she struck the sheets over her head. For her getting out was to much to ask. It had become late last night.. She hit herself mentally for her head. She had promised to pay of her debts and no gramme more to glance at. It all was Shiro's fault. He should never have pushed that cocaine under her nose. She pulled her sheets of her head. Where was that 50 guilder-note she used to sniff her line with? She kicked her sheets down. Did she leave it on the counter? Damn. Dismayed she went to the small bathroom where she shocked herself awake under a cold shower.
In the luxurious staged apartment of Madeline a young woman stood in the kitchen unit making her breakfast. She has an appointment with the girl that lives with Kuiray today. Talim – she needs to call the girl. Nevertheless she still finds nothing righteous calling the girl Talim. Though she knew the real Talim for only a few months she had grown attached to the her. What had happened to her hadn't only shocked her and Kuiray but the entire staff of the Odyssey. She knew even Shiro felt a pang of guilt, though he didn't show it.
After her refreshing shower she opened her closet. Thoughtful she watched her clothing. Left hang her good-old-time clothes of the fashion labels as Gucci and Prada. On the right hang her present day clothes; worn out jeans, robes of the previous season and skirts so old she didn't even dared to wear them. She sold some of the fashion labels from time to time. Every deal, she agreed on, left her with a pang in the heart. She had worn them as a second skin long ago. Selling them for a few bucks to make a living. She left dressed and skipping breakfast.
She cleaned the dishes after, graphed her purse and left. She left her mantle at home. It was common knowledge the temperature would rise higher then twenty degrees. One of the advantages of Hirohite are the warm springs and summers.
The streets of a evening city were abandoned except for a couple of pending youngsters in the morning. One whistle at her. With her green eyes she scanned the boys of the group. He wasn't among them. They weren't worthy of her attention. With her head high she walked passed them. A gentle breeze played with her black hair.
She would enjoyed the ascending sun wasn't it for her cephalic. She stopped by the chemist to buy some analgesics. She sunk down on a bench and took some of her acquisition.
With her white trend coat and matching leather boots she walk on the lonely streets of Hirohite. During the day it is a quiet city but when the sun leaves the quiet town in the dark it is overtaken by demons. Her boss being one of those money hungry demons. She was given free on the urge of Kuiray.
A couple of streets later she walked passed the little park of Hirohite. A young woman sat on one of the stools, holding in her hand a bottle of water. Madeline looked closer. The woman suddenly looked back. Madeline started in the green eyes of Yukari.
She looked with her fierce green eyes right into the ocean blue eyes of Madeline. Yukari only had tot think of her and would feel the wrath she held for her. Why had Kuiray not chosen her but Madeline instead? She needed him harder then that silly daughter of the suicidal mayor. Disgust she was of the story Madeline told her when they were friends.
The three of them would discus their love traingle. Madeline had ruined the conversation by talking about her dead father. Who wasn't coming back doing so. Kuiray was having a hard time, she was having a hard time. Madeline played the part of the victim. Madeline stole Kuiray's heart as if it wasn't enough, she couldn't even pay her rent. Madeline must have dissappointed him knowing his taste today. She smiled.
Yukari was an open book for Madeline. Though she seemed strong and hazardous, she chiefly had to thank her dark hair and dark green eyes for it. She was still sad about their last conversation. Yukari had mocked her about her father being suicidal. She evaded the word suicide ever since. In her eyes he was forced doing this he rather hadn't. It hurt her even more when Yukari decleared war.
Both fell in love with Kuiray. Their friendschip ended. Before Madeline knew it herself, she was involved in a fight. Kuiray left Yukari after hearing her harse words about Madeline. He showed some intrest from time to time. It's wasn't the love she craved for. His intrest in her was mostly financiel. Yukari never knew her parents. She had noone as financiel back up. Whenever she was short on money Kuiray would shove some money in her purse. She excepted it, but rather had his love.
Yukari's emotions ran high. She couldn't take another look at her. She got rather unladylike up and walked away with a strong pace. Madeline blinked away a tear and swallowed. She never had want this. Unfortunately fate is unintellibible.
Yukari pushed open the door of her favourite café. She hoped he was in here. She needed his comfrot. The barman welcomed his customer. She placed her order. A familiar laughter came from on of the tables. The bartender placed a Bacardi coke infront which she took. She walked to the table with her body lulling on the music.
"Yukari. You're so cool." A blond girl sqealed.
Everyone turned, seeing what the blond girl ment. Clearing a seat a giggling girl was placed on her boyfriends lap. Her wish was granted, he was sitting next to her.
She put down her drink and sat beside him. She always paid extra attention on her manners whenever she was with him but not today. Having seen Madeline in all her glorry. She knew she couldn't compit.
He laid an arm around her shoulder eventually. Stroking her closer for a kiss. He nibbed her lower lip. Asking for entrance she gave in. He slipped his tongue in her mouth. He could make her forget that girl. She was dissapionted when he pulled back. She wanted more, needed more. He broke the kiss and put a cigarette between his lips. Lighting it with one of the Odyssey's lighters. He sank back in his chair and relaxed. His mind preoccupied with his family's business.
Most of the group left at noon. The couple moved to the sofa that was bought on their request. Shifting a bit to get comfortable he asked: "He, ugly, have you eaten already?" She pulled a face at her nickname. He didn't need to know it really hurt her. "You?" She asked playing with his black hair. He did not responded which ment no.
Madeline made herself leisure in Kuiray's apartment. Kuiray was busy in the Odyssey cleaning up from last night. It astonished her every time how much money he gained with his previous job. But she knew better then to be jealous. When she arrived at his apartment an soaking Talim had opened the door. She explained she just got out of the shower. Hurrying herself back into the bathroom to get dressed.
Some magazines and twenty minutes later the girl was fully dressed.
After some time and some magazines later the girl was fully dressed. Her pink hair in a bun with some locks left out. To her disappointment she was given the day of from the herb shop. She loved to continue on the book with the colleague. But she also liked hanging out with Madeline. At first it felt strange but Madeline resembled an older Hinata which made her feel at home. The difference was Madeline taste in fashion. Over her right eye hang a shinny pony. Her light brown hair with blond highlights lay perfectly over her withe summer robe that matched her leather boots.
While walking to a tea house -Madeline promised to be worth their time- they made some small talk. Talim enjoyed their time togther. She was glad she met Madeline.
Yukari finally got up from the sofa. Both hadn't spoken after their lunch. She knew though he had his eyes closed that he wasn't sleeping. He always knew what happened around him. Paranoid. She tensed when he graphed her wrist a bit hard. "Sai?" She turned to face him. Stroking her red wrist. His black hair covered his closed eyes, there was no sigh of response. She gave him a little push, a grunt was all she got. She got up and gave him a small kiss. Bidding the barman goodbye, stealing a glance of the clock after, she knew it was time to go to work.
She pushed open the door and stepped in the gloomy alley with the black door with golden letters. 'welcome to the odyssey' ran through her eardrums. With a sign she changed her clothes. She walked out into the open space which was the headroom of the Odyssey, the golden heels killing her feet in the progress. She found Shiro at the counter. Waving a 50 guilder note infront of her.
"You're having your period. God Talim why didn't you say so." Madeline giggeld. She thought something happened to Talim. The girl across her flamed red on the cheeks. She had fidget with her hair so long Madeline though she would be bold at the end of this appointment.
Smiling they went into a grocer store and Madeline helped her with the various month links. She felt like an older sister telling her sis what she preferred and which she didn't. At the end of the day even Talim could laugh about the situation. Madeline acted a little more like herself.
Tbc.
Preview chapter nine;
Then it happend. He stopped breathing. No, no you can't die now. Biting back her tears her trembling hands bent his head a bite back. Pincing his nostril close she blew her oxygon into his longs. She saw his chest rise and fall. Clocking her actions she continued to reanimate.
