Chapter Ten
Michael (Miroku)

It was a crisp bright morning. I stepped outside as the sun warmed my bare feet. I went back inside to put on some shoes.

I was supposed to be going over to Katrina's house today. She said that she was having a few friends over and she wanted me to come as well.

After I had changed and eaten some food I started to head out the door. Last night when I told Amber I was going to Katrina's house she freaked out, because I was going over to a girl's house. Mathew just said, "Nice work Son."

According to the address she gave me, her house was nearby. It truly was very close. It only took maybe fifteen minutes to get there.

I looked at a sheet of paper to verify the address. When I reached her house what I found was, "Sunset Gift Shop: Fortune Telling, Souvenirs, and More!" Next to it seemed to be a decently fine sized house. I thought I must've been in the wrong place when an elderly man exited through the store's front door.

"Why, hello there!" The old man said. "Have you come to have your fortune told?"

"Actually no that's not why I'm here." I replied.

"Ah so you must be here to by a souvenir!" He said.

"No that's not why I'm here either." I said. "I'm here to…"

"Then have you come to buy one of our Native American charms?" The old man started, "you know there was a tribe of…"

I cut him off, "No, I'm not here to buy anything. Does a girl named Katrina live nearby?"

"Katrina?" the man said. "I'm actually her grandfather. She told me she was having a few friends over." He gestured to the house next to the shop. "Just go right in!"

"Thank you." I said.

I opened up the door to the house that the old man had wanted me to go into. Inside I saw Samantha and Katrina in a room off to the right.

"Michael's here!" Samantha called.

Katrina came into the room followed by Izzo.

"Hey Michael!" She said smiling.

"Wow you actually got Izzo to show up!"

"I know that's just what I said." Samantha replied.

"Shut up!" Izzo said, and we all started to laugh.

There was another knock on the door, and Kenny entered the house.

"Yo Katrina what's up…" His voice trailed. "Oh great, Mr. Triangle's here."

Izzo clenched his fists. "What the hell is Barbie Doll doing here?"

"No," said Kenny, "what is he doing here?"

Izzo stepped up to Kenny ready to punch him then Katrina said, "I told you I was inviting my friends, so now no fighting! If you argue I'll send you both home!"

Izzo stepped back and crossed his arms. "It's not like I care if you send me home."

"Then why'd 'ya hold back?" Kenny taunted.

"Shut up, Barbie Doll." Izzo replied.

"Fine I will." Kenny stared at Katrina. "Only for Katrina though. As soon as we leave this place we're settling this. Okay Triangle?"

I sighed and watched the two idiots banter on until Katrina nagged them again. Of course after Katrina was done with her nagging she gave her perfect little, "Act like Nothing Ever Happened" smile.

With these two, I knew the day would be "magnificent."

A/N: I'm sorry! It's been over a month since I've posted! (Especially since the last thing I said was I'd post more that day!) I actually was going to post it that day. I had been writing this chapter, and then I was going to upload it but then…
internet crashes. It came back up the next day, but I never got around to uploading it. I apologize for being lazy, and I'll be trying to post more consistently now!
