I own nothing! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
"Aww, come on now! It's just a few kegs!"
"NO!" Touya shouted. He usually never shouted, but Jin had been pushing his buttons all day.
The said wind master's ears were now almost drooping. Tomorrow was St. Patrick's Day and Touya had forbid him to have liquor in the house, this was no ordinary day to Jin either, this was St. Patrick's Day, and Jin was Irish! Jin had to drink it was tradition! Plus St. Patrick's Day always seemed to be a day when Jin made good friends. Jin believed it was his duty as an Irish man to welcome people on this day.
Jin had never liked the story of St. Patrick chasing the pagan's out of Ireland; he was a demon or a snake too. So every St. Patrick's Day Jin made a new friend. It had been the day after St. Patrick's Day when Touya had joined the Shinobi, and if Jin hadn't been hung over he wouldn't have thrown up on the ice master's foot. Then Touya never would have been mad and forgave him, and they wouldn't be friends. Aki was the same case. The half Japanese half Irish demon girl had met Jin at a St. Patrick's Day Flogging Molly concert. After she got lost on the way to the bathrooms she met Jin when he threw up on her shoe…Jin was beginning to see a pattern here…wait Aki!
During their New Year's party (Read a new year's to remember) Touya had made a similar rule, and Jin had gotten around it by having Aki come and bring the liquor. Maybe they could celebrate with the rest at Aki's house. "That's it!" Jin smiled ears back up to being pointed. Without a thought Jin dashed out the house, opened and the door and began to summon the wind around him. After calling it the wind carried Jin off and flew him to Aki's quick as lightening.
"I wonder where he's go'in." Chu mumbled as he and the other occupants stared at the open abandoned door.
Aki was standing on a step latter in her apartment, trying her best to pin the final four-leaf clover decoration on her window, when a gust of wind caused her front door to blow open. Turning to face the now open door Aki gazed at none other than Jin.
"G'mornin lass!" The elfin demon grinned.
"Ohayo Jin." Aki smiled stepping off the step latter.
"Why are ye in that?" Jin frowned pointing at her kimono, "Have ye forgot' in what tomorrow is? You're dressed in the wrong culture!"
Aki smiled. "I'll be in the right garb tomorrow Jin, and no I haven't forgotten what tomorrow is. Why do you think I'm making the dish?" Aki grinned pointing to the crock-pot.
"Ye mean the dish?" Jin gulped. "The horrible corn beef and cabbage!"
"Yes the disgusting corn beef and cabbage. Do you know why I make a dish that I hate every year, Jin?"
"Because it's tradition!" The two answered together. Aki giggled, "So what brings you here today?"
"It's about tradition actually." "I have the green dye for the beer." "Good, but no that." Jin smiled.
"Touya's been do' in the old maud again. I need another place to have the party, so we can drink. Do ye think we could have it here?" Jin smiled giving his best puppy-dog eyes.
"Of course!" Aki smiled. "Will it be everyone who was at your place for New Year's?"
"Nah, just me flat mates, that tis all." Jin smiled. "Thanks a lot lass! I'm sure Toy will be happy to be see' in ya again!"
"Oh," Aki blushed. "I don't know about that."
"Of course he will. He can be up tight but he isn't an idiot. He knows you're a great person!"
"Uh…yes. I better check on those potatoes." Aki said walking over to the kitchen. "Sundown okay for you guys to be over here?"
"Ye bet! Thanks again lass!" Jin smiled flying out the door.
To be continued tomorrow! So check for the update on St. Patrick's Day! PLEASE review! Thanks!
