Chapter 66

"You said it's around here?" Aiko asked in confusion as Shina smiled at her.

"We're getting close, theres one that lives nearby, when Marinated jackalope reach a certain age they leave the pack to form more homes." Shina explained

"I wonder how they taste...ah I can't wait to try it!" Aiko said excitedly.

"Aiko-San...I think there's one maybe about a few feet."Shina said

"Really? Where exactly?" Aiko asked

"North from where we are."Shina said

"Awesome! Let's head out now."Aiko said with enthusiasm walking alongside of Shina.

The two almost reach they're destination until Shina stopped for a minute.

"What's wrong?"Aiko asked

"Something is different...the sound...the footsteps of the animal suddenly stopped... " Shina said she smelled the air and made a face. "No...I think it's a person and this person wears way too much cheap perfume."

"It's not cheap!" A voice snapped

Aiko froze for a second, she knew that voice. She immediately turn to see a young woman around Aiko's age, short black hair and amethyst eyes, wearing a purple kimono the length of it was short up to the knees and a pink obi. Matching shoes and light pink leggings She glared at Aiko.

"It's you...cherry."Aiko said

"You! Because of you the boss got angry with me! " Cherry snapped pointing an accusing finger at Aiko. "I wanted to get him that stupid deer for the boss and for him!"

"Who is she?"Shina said tilting her head curiously at Aiko.

"Because of that!...he...he..."Cherry said anger course through her."I won't ever forgive you Aiko!"

"Eh?" Aiko said "I did what I had to do to protect that little deer! It ain't my fault that your resolve wasn't strong."

"It's not about that! You and I are rivals!" Cherry snapped

"Eh? Rivals?"Shina said

"What?"Aiko said she had a dumbfounded look on her face, trying to process what cherry was saying.

"Rivals! You're my Love rival!"Cherry exclaimed

"Ehhh?"Aiko said she had no idea what cherry was talking about this is the first time she'd even physically met cherry, the only people that she knew were her clients and her friends, Now this chick is spouting out complete nonsense.

"You caught his eye...I'll never forgive you!"Cherry said glaring at Aiko.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!"Aiko said "I'm not your love rival."

'Just what is up with this crazy chick?'Aiko thought

'She's my Love rival...my rival...I won't let her have him!'Cherry thought 'Ever since I came back to headquarters...'

Flash back

Cherry was walking through the halls carrying dirty dishes, mumbling and complaining along the way to the kitchen. Cherry heard voices next door so she stopped for a minute.

"Cherry failed to capture that deer." Jojo said "You've seen the footage of what happened at that forest."

"Yes, I did Cherry is still new at this she moved up the ranks a bit but was defeated. Heh...that woman stopped her...her name Aiko was it? She's same one from the regal mammoth, her power got stronger...That glow in her hands shined brightly.." The voice said

"Well we don't see a power like that."Jojo said "it certainly is rare, if she was with us then that power would help us great in capturing the ingredients."

"Her attitude and spirit she's fascinating." The voice said "Her power fascinates me."

"Really? That's a first that I hear you say that starjun." Jojo said "You rarely take an interesting at anything."

'What?! Does that mean that...that he likes her?!'Cherry thought angrily. 'Is that why they told me to see if she'd like to join? So that he gets closer to her?! What's so special about her?!' Her fist tighten, jealousy formed in the pit of her stomach. 'She's my rival...my rival...my Love rival! Aiko...ill get you!'

End of flashback

"I'll never forgive you! I hate you! I hate you! " Cherry exclaimed an angry anime vein popped into her forehead. "You think you can keep him all to yourself well you're wrong! He's mine! I'm not letting you have him!"

"Aiko, I think she got a few screws loose."Shina whispered. "I may be blind but I can tell that she's needs help."

'Why do I get the weird and crazy ones?'Aiko thought letting out a sigh.'I have no idea what she's talking about. Who's this guy that she's talking about? Ugh...she reminds me of a certain client that whines a lot when the boy she likes doesn't pay attention to her...'

Cherry took out her a few small knives throwing them aiming at Aiko and Shina. Aiko was quick on her feet and grabbed Shina dodged them, quickly hiding in a few trees.

"Shina, just stay here okay. Just hide until I say it's okay to come out."Aiko said

"But Aiko..I.."Shina started

"Everything will be fine, trust me." Aiko said reassuringly at Shina.

"Okay, be careful Aiko."Shina said

"Don't make a sound."Aiko whispered Shina nodded.

'Gotta think...I have to be careful and I have to watch out that Shina doesn't get hurt. This Cherry chick is crazy. Just who is the guy that she's talking about? ' Aiko thought 'I'm stuck fighting this crazy girl.'
