Chapter2: Meeting Ukyo is hard.
I THANK MY 2 REVIEWERS. AnnechanB and lisiegirl, Domo arigato gozaimasu. Your reviews brightened my day.
A little warning here, Akane is really hateful here so read at own risk!
And now without further ado, read.
'This sucks!' Akane really wasn't happy. 'Why does it have to be me?'
She wished that she had a say in her life. Everybody wanted to control her. Like she wasn't old enough, or smart enough! And look, here she was! Looking for some dojo in a town that she didn't know, and for what! Akane didn't care. She was going to show those people!
'Head up, Akane!' She forced herself to walk with her head up, and continued searching.
It was still snowing.
'So, are there any questions?' Soun Tendo could barely hold his laughter when he saw his sons. Their mouths open wide, and they were drooling while realizing something: If one of them would marry this Akane, then they would go to a restaurant, and eat as much as they wanted to.
They had an agreement. 'Okay dad, deal!'
Akane was becoming desperate. 'Where is that stupid dojo?' If she didn't warm up fast she would freeze to death! She started running, hoping that would keep her warm. Her face, ears, feet and hands were ice, and she wouldn't feel it if they froze of. How she hated this cold!
Breathing was becoming pain. Her body was starting to become ice! Akane was freezing to death!
Then it happened. It was a warm, sweet smell. Instinctive she followed it. Before she realized what she was doing she found herself in a warm place and she heard a voice: 'Sorry, were closed.'
Akane looked around and saw that she was in some sort of restaurant called: Ucchan.
A browned haired girl was getting annoyed. 'Hey, are you deaf or something? We're closed!'
Akane backed away.
'Sorry.'
The brown haired girl immediately regretted her words.
'That's okay, I'm sorry for yelling at you like that. Are you cold?
Once again she wished she had kept her mouth shut. Of course she was cold! You didn't need to be a genius to figure out that!
A trembling Akane said: 'I can't even remember going in here. I'm sorry it's just that it's so cold outside.'
The girl took a quick over check and realized something. 'You're not even wearing a coat, or gloves!'
'O. This startled Akane. That's right.' It felt weird that someone was actually worried about her. 'I can take it.' But the girl wasn't convinced. 'You'll freeze to death if you don't at least wear a coat!'
Akane started to get annoyed. Who did this girl think she is: Her MOTHER! 'STOP ACTING SO MOTHERLY! YOU'RE SO DAMN ANNOYING!'
Now she had done it. This girl would yell at her throw her out, and Akane would be back in the cold while freezing to death. Her reaction wasn't what she had expected.
The girl wasn't mad at all, instead she smiled brightly. 'I'm sorry. Would you like an okonomiyaki? I'm Ukyo, Ukyo Kuonji. Sit down please I will serve it immediately.' She said it in such a friendly manner that Akane couldn't resist.
Akane shot Ukyo a hateful look, but sat down anyway.
Ukyo pulled two spatulas out of nowhere. 'Any wishes?'
'Huh?' Akane looked up. 'O, anything that will warm me up is fine.' She was still mad at Ukyo for being so friendly.
It was quiet for a moment. Ukyo decided to break the silence. 'So, what brings you here in Nerima?'
'How did you figure out that I'm not from here?'
'Well, started Ukyo, It's just a guess.'
Akane started wondering about this girl. 'Then you guessed right.' Ukyo wanted the girl to keep talking; it would warm her up for sure. 'Then, why are you here?'
'THAT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS! Stop asking stupid questions!' Akane snapped.
Ukyo stayed calm. 'That's fine by me.'
'So what's your name?'
Akane went almost ballistic. 'ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING?! STOP ASKING!'
It was too bad for Akane, that Ukyo was stubborn. 'Asking for your name isn't stupid, and I ask all my customers their name. You're my customer as well. So, what's your name?' Ukyo gave her a smile.
'It's Akane, Akane Hoshino.' Akane replied dry.
'That's a cute name.' Ukyo noticed.
'I hate the name.' Akane said it so hateful that Ukyo backed away in surprise. Akane felt a smile – or rather an evil smirk- form around her face. She wasn't entirely weak, and this Ukyo was going to taste it alright.
Ukyo turned her attention on her cooking. 'Your okonomiyaki is almost ready Miss.' Akane felt great hearing Ukyo say: Miss. It felt wonderful after she was treaded so childish by her.
'I can't believe you don't like your name!' Akane sighed. This Ukyo was a stubborn girl.
'Well, I don't like your name either! It's a name for boys!' Akane hoped that this would get her mad enough for now. She did want to eat that okonomiyaki.
'My name was given to me by my father!' Akane felt that she had hit an emotional spot. 'Was your mother so weak that she let your father give you a name?' The sarcasm in her voice was huge.
'My mother died.' It was the truth, but Ukyo hoped that Akane would be a bit more on the emotional side. She was wrong. 'You're expecting me to feel pity for you? Well, I do. Akane her words were ice. And you're going to hate me for that!' Ukyo felt that she was becoming sick at her words.
'I feel pity when you don't know a thing about dead!'
'I feel pity for you when you're trying to open me up!'
'I feel pity when you think that everything will be fine!'
'I feel pity when you think that one dead mother is much!'
'And finally, I feel pity when I see you being nice to someone like me who doesn't give a damn thing about you!!!'
Ukyo went pale at this. 'I apologize. Your okonomiyaki is ready. I'll stop asking any questions.'
'GREAT! Akane felt wonderful at her victory. You're finally starting to learn! There's actually some hope for you!'
Ukyo wanted to leave her alone when she thought of something.
'Akane?'
SHE WAS REALLY ANNOYING!
'WHAT?!'
Ukyo felt shivers. 'Thank you.' Ukyo whispered.
And with that she left Akane alone.
------------------------------------------
SORRY!! I'm sorry for not making this chapter any longer, but it just felt good to stop here. Akane became more an 'angry' ice queen than I intended, and I didn't thought that it would take me so long with Ukyo. DON'T WORRY, she has her reasons. READ AND REVIEW PLEASE.
