"What do you want Tea?" said Selene sitting on a couch reading a
magazine. She liked her cousin, but not THAT much.
"I want to show you your new school and then, maybe the rest of Domino."
"Tea!" said Selene "Give me a break! I just got here!"
"Oh no you don't! I suppose you're going to give me another lame excuse
that you can't come."
"Of course not! How could you think I'd do a thing like that! I just need
to do a bit of shopping, but you can't come."
"Why?"
"Because... Because...you're sick. Oh! Just look at the time! I got to run!
My how time flies! Well, see you."
"But-"
"Oh no! Your temperature's rising! Don't worry I'll bring medicine. Oh,
here comes my Taxi. Bye!"
"Selene!" But Selene already left.
**********
"That was close" panted Selene. She had run down 4 stories to get away from
her cousin. Tea was nice, but Selene was more of a loner.
"Well, now that I'm here." Her blue-green eyes surveyed the streets of
Domino, Japan. She had just arrived this morning to live permanently next
door to her cousin Tea Masaki. A wind blew through her wavy black hair. She
sighed as her gold earrings shone in the sun.
"Where should I go?" she thought. Tea, who KNEW how to read Kanji, and
probably already knew where the elevator was, would be here in a few
minutes. The thought of being seen in public with her made her stomach
turn. She decided to duck into the nearest store before Tea caught her.
**********
"Irasshaimase. Nanika osagashi desu ka (Welcome, What would you like)?"
said the book shopkeeper.
"Erm. haikankou!" Said Selene, stating the only word she knew in Japanese.
The shopkeeper stared. Then he started rummaging around for some books.
Finally he pulled out a book and handed it to her.
"Ikaga desu ka (Is this fine)?" he asked, still staring at her.
"Haikankou" she said again. Maybe she should have actually listened to her
brother Tori when he told her to learn more about her own language.
"1100 yen."
"1100 yen! What is this? A store for rich snobs! This can't cost more than
15 bucks!" She shouted in English. She didn't know how many Yen were to a
dollar, but she didn't care. As she said that, she didn't notice her wallet
fall out of her back pocket into the Manga section of the store.
"Asenna-yo (calm down)!" shouted the shopkeeper.
"Fine just take the money, I'm not poor!" She yelled reaching into her
pocket for her wallet.
"WHAT?!? WHERE'S MY WALLET!?!?! IT'S BEEN STOLEN! THERE'S A THIEF IN THE
BUILDING! HE'LL KILL US ALL! HELP! SOMEBODY CALL 911! HELP!" she screeched.
**********
Meanwhile, In the Manga section, there was another scream..
"AHHHH! THE SKY'S FALLING! TRISTAN, SAVE ME!" A dirty-blonde boy was
shouting in Japanese.
"Asenna-yo, Baka (calm down, idiot)! A Manga probably fell on your head.
There's no need to freak out, Chicken Little." Said a Brunet-haired boy. He
searched around his friend.
"There see, It was just this-"
"A wallet! MOOLAH!" shouted the Blonde. Then he noticed his friend's stare.
"Hey there's probably a reward ne?"
But Tristan had no time to answer; a set of shrieks in English interrupted
them.
"MY WALLET!" said a girl. "YOU THIEF! GIVE IT BACK!" Selene grabbed an old
lady's purse and started bashing the Blonde's Head.
"MONOTORI (robber)" Shouted the Lady.
"Er. WHAT SHE SAID!" Selene yelled at the boys.
People in the store were starting to get frightened and left. The old lady
had thrown herself on Selene, while Selene was showing no tiredness while
repeatedly hitting the Boys. Finally, she was able to grab her wallet away
from the boy.
"Take this." She said calmly to the shopkeeper. She handed him 1100 yen.
And with that she left the store.
**********
"Back already?" asked Tea grumpily.
"Yeah" replied Selene.
"Well at least show me what you got!" said Tea, unable to take the
suspense, Selene HATED shopping.
"This." She replied, handing her cousin the book.
Tea looked at the cover. "I didn't know something was wrong here. Why
didn't you tell me?"
"What? Nothing's wrong!" said Selene.
"Then why did you get a book on plumbing?
