Chapter 7

OOOOOOH! It's DISCLAIMER TIME! YIPPEEE! Chimera Dreamland

"Starbucks?!" Zel was staring at the green, black and white sign. "What on earth would a store with THAT kind of name sell anyways?"

"Hm?" Kagome looked up from her magazine. "Oh. that's one of the biggest coffee chains in the wo.rld" She finished awkwardly, because the moment she had said "coffee" the chimera had disappeared so quickly that he left a solid Zel-shaped cloud of dust behind him.

"Um.Zelgadis??" She asked nervously.

Lina clapped her on the shoulder.

"Kagome, you don't want to follow him in there. His thing for coffee can get a little.er.scary. Let's go check out that cool store over there while we wait!"

Inside Starbucks, Zelgadis approached the counter.

"Hi!" The cheerful short brown-haired girl with a badge reading "Adair B." behind the counter said to him with a smile. "What would you like today?"

"I'd like to order some coffee."

Adair raised an eyebrow.

"Y'know, that's sorta obvious.but what KIND of coffee do you want?"

"Kind?" Zel looked amazed at the mere thought of more than one kind of coffee.

Sighing to herself, Adair pulled out a menu and handed it to the chimera.

"Why don't you go read this and figure out what you want?" She smiled politely.

Sitting down in a chair at a one-person table, Zelgadis open the menu.

Before his eyes was a HUGE list of coffee varieties. Too many to count!

For one of those rare moments, Zel's eyes grew big and sparkly.

"I'm in heaven." He murmured softly. Then, leaping up, he went to Adair and placed his order.

"One of each please!"

Adair blinked. Then, shrugging, she turned around and began to fill mugs with coffee, muttering something about "this stupid exam season" and "weirdoes staying up too late to study."

At last, Adair pushed the mugs of coffee in front of Zelgadis.

"Here you go sir. That'll be $59.78 please."

Shaking her head, she collected his payment and went over to serve the other customers. Meanwhile, Zel immersed his whole soul in mugs of coffee.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeee......"
