Chapter 2: He's watching you....



The next mourning Zell and Irvine were the first ones in the cafeteria. It was around 9:00am and traffic was slowly starting to begin. Around 9:15, Kiyoko wandered in and purchased a breakfast special with Roc's money that she, supposedly borrowed. She didn't take all of his money, just, the proper amount. Of course he does prefer her to ask next time.
Zell and Irvine were near the entrance while Kiyoko as on the other side of the vast cafeteria. Even though they were far away they could clearly see her eating her breakfast with her hands. She wasn't sloppy though, nicely neat. She used her claws as knives and carefully put her eggs and bacon on a piece of toast she had cut. Then she punctured her egg slightly so her yoke could seep into the toast. Then she picked it up and ate it like a sandwich.
"Mmmmm...yummy."
Occasionally she would pause to wipe her mouth cat-like with her hands.
Zell had his arms folded on the table while Irvine propped his head up with one hand, both watching her with some sort of awe.
"She's so clean." Irvine noticed.
"She looks so adorable." Zell replied
"Yeah, adorable and dangerous"
"Danger is my middle name, man. I like danger."
"I thought your middle name was-"
Just then Zell covered Irvine's mouth roughly,
"Don't even say it.
Zell released his hand and Irvine just laughed.
"Well, I like danger too." Irvine said, changing the subject.
"Hey don't forget about Selphie, she didn't just vanish out of thin air when she came to us."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but a little flirting won't kill me."
"Irvine, your eating irony. With this girl, you best be careful."
Meanwhile, across the room, Kiyoko could hear everything that they were saying.
"Acute hearing sucks. These human males are really starting to piss me off…lately everything has!! And why do they find my eating habits so fascinating? Must be a primate thing."
She muttered under her breath while she ate.
"Well," Zell went on, "other than the fact that she is as fatal as me, she sure has a nice pair of-"
"Hellllooo."
Roc said while plopping down in the seat next to Zell. Roc stretched out the word 'Hello' so his deep voice could cut through his sentence; and it cut like butter.
"Now you boys wouldn't be talking about a certain someone now would we?"
Irvine and Zell made a quick glance at each other with their eyes.
"No sudden movements," Zell reminded himself, "I saw what this guy can do."
"Um,...uh no of course not."
"Roc, thank you. Gotta love 'em." Kiyoko said while breathing a sigh of relief.
If it was one thing she liked about Roc, it was the way he would cover for her. It was nice to know that he would always be there for her to kick the crap out of anyone who bothered her. She smiled at this thought.
"What if we were?" Irvine said, as if testing his stupidity.
"Then I would have to physically and mentally hurt you and your small minded friend. And I don't think you want a screaming little 'me' in your brain, now would you? Ta ta." He finished sarcastically and turned to leave. Just before he headed for the exit he turned and spoke: "Oh, here's some word of advice: if you're going to gossip about someone, make sure the person your gossiping about is not in the room; and don't let me catch you."

When Irvine made sure they were out of ear range, He turned towards Zell,
"She heard us!?"
"No shit sherlock!" Kiyoko blurted and lifted up his hat and dumped her full cup of orange juice on his head.
She then turned towards Zell, took a bowl of cereal he had been eating and dumped it on his head.
"Surprise, Surprise." She said after she had finished, and turned and left.
