Polaris draws back. "Excuse me, miss, but I'm trying to do business."
Miaka pouts and grabs for it. Tamahome breaks through the crowd and grabs
Miaka's arm. "Why did you run like that, you idiot?" Miaka points at the
gum Polaris is holding. "Buy me that! Oh please, Tamahome! I love gum!"
Polaris scratches her head. 'Nobody here could know about gum.unless this
is that girl.'
Tamahome stares at Miaka. "Is that the stuff that you used to scare Hotohori-sama's guards?" Miaka nods. Tamahome's eyes light up. He rubs his hands together like an evil genius. 'With that much gum, I could make a fortune!' Polaris looks at them both blankly. 'What strange people.!' Tamahome tugs on her sleeve, causing Polaris to lose her balance. He grabs the gum. "Hey! You bastard!" she yells as he grabs Miaka and starts to run. She bolts after them, leaving the crowd to fight over the candy bar.
Her heart pumping hard, she sprints, scolding herself for forgetting about thieves. The sake doesn't help her, making her head spin. Still in hot pursuit, she follows them around a corner and plows straight into a man with blue hair and a staff. "Oof!" She lands on her butt. "I'm sorry."
The man, who was previously half-smiling is now smiling more. "You should be more careful, no da." He extends a hand to help her up. She takes it and lurches to her feet. "I'm so sorry.I was chasing after a thief." Chichiri points to a cursing Tamahome, frozen in place. "This one? No da?" Polaris nods. "Yes." She smiles. "I'm Polaris." He returns the smile, although he was smiling to begin with. "And I'm Chichiri, no da!" He hands her the gum.
Miaka looks at Polaris, slightly dazed from being dragged around. Polaris draws in her breath sharply. This was that girl.for sure. She knew that look. "Hey! You! What's your name?" Miaka points to herself. "I'm Miaka!" Polaris nods slowly. "This world is a very different one, isn't it?" Miaka looks astonished. "How.did??" She steps closer to the older girl. "I saw." Polaris replies tonelessly. "And I followed suit."
She gives Miaka a piece of gum and chews one herself. She offers a piece to Chichiri, but he declines. Tamahome, now unfrozen, takes a piece and rushes off to sell it. Polaris blows a bubble then turns around, hearing a sound. The bubble pops after making contact with somebody's long violet braid. "AIIEE!" The person screeches.
What appears to be a young lady picks at the gum in their hair. "I can't get it out!" 'She' grabs Polaris by the collar. "Listen here! You're going to get this shit out of my hair!" Chichiri frowns a little "Nuriko, calm down. It was an accident, no da." "Well, this accident better get this.goo out of my hair!" Chichiri sweatdrops. "That's not what I meant.no da."
Tamahome stares at Miaka. "Is that the stuff that you used to scare Hotohori-sama's guards?" Miaka nods. Tamahome's eyes light up. He rubs his hands together like an evil genius.
