||What is Chocolate?||
Tetra sighed as she leaned up against the counter to the fish market. She felt more like her insides were becoming her outsides, but that happens every time she looked at raw fish.
/No,/ she thought, /I don't want to eat RAW fish./
Tetra then caught a glimpse of the DRIED fish.
/Oh no! You never told me it had DIRT in it!/
Mentally Niramsis shrugged,
//You never asked. Besides, what do you expect, back in Egypt times we don't have soap, or clean water for that matter.//
/I would rather starve than eat these! I never even liked fish anyways, so-/
//Picky, picky.//
"Um, Mariku, I'm not that hungry..."
//Liar.//
/Shut up./
"Mariku!" Tetra said again, nudging him in the shoulder.
"What do you want to eat, then? I know you're hungry, you must be after 'Kura told me you used shadow magic."
/Shadow magic?/ she repeated.
//Partly my fault. I used the power of the Millennium Chain to protect you from this Bakura.//
/And you're the reason I fell unconscious, not the heat?/
//...yes.// Niramsis said a little sheepishly.
"I am hungry, Mariku, I'm just not going to-"
Tetra glanced at the fish being chopped up by the market guy.
"I'm just not going to eat raw food, or anything with dirt in it." she added quickly.
"Well what do you expect?"asked Mariku shrugging.
Tetra sighed.
"Where I come from... the food is cleaned and cooked, and then spiced and- oh, forget it!"
Tetra grabbed the Snickers chocolate bar out of her pocket.
"This-" she said, holding it up for Bakura-Chan and Mariku to see, "Is what I eat for snacks."
"What is it?" Bakura-Chan asked, snatching it.
Tetra snatched it back and peeled the plastic away.
"Chocolate."
"Cha- what?"
Tetra shook her head and divided the chocolate bar into three pieces.
"Here." she handed a piece to both Bakura-Chan and Mariku.
Bakura-Chan looked suspiciously at the chocolate in his hands.
"You eat yours first." he ordered.
And so Tetra did. The chocolate was a little melted, but not that bad. It melted even more in her mouth and the peanuts crunched silently as she chewed the sticky chocolate.
She licked her lips and swallowed her piece of the Snickers bar.
"Well." Mariku said, "She isn't dead yet, so I suppose its edible."
"Of course its edible!"
Bakura-Chan had watched Tetra eat hers, so he decided to eat his.
To him, it was like a delicacy of the pharaoh. Delicious and something, if he had any large amount, would be come addicted to the chocolate. It melted and the caramel swirled around as he swallowed it.
"Do you have more?" he asked immediately. He sounded rather greedy at this point.
"Um... not with me..."
"Kusotarre..."he whispered under his breath. He liked the taste of chocolate.
Mariku was less trusting of the chocolate and smelled it before he ate it. Its aroma smelled good, and he also greedily ate it. Crunchy and sticky, and sweet... it was better than honey bread!
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the taste while it lasted.
"Tetra," he said, "Promise me you'll bring me more of this chokolat."
Tetra held back a laugh.
"Yes, I'll bring you more chocolate as soon as I can."
Tetra sighed as she leaned up against the counter to the fish market. She felt more like her insides were becoming her outsides, but that happens every time she looked at raw fish.
