Disclaimers Notice: Yes...n-n-no...maybe? Authors Beginning Note: Okay...um...don't kill me, but my computer is on the complete fritz, so I can't type on it, not sure what's wrong either, just hope the repair guy comes soon, and that it doesn't crash in the mean time. Right now I'm on a loaned computer, but no time to really type a descent story, so instead I wrote a small side blurb, this has nothing to really do with the story line, so whether you read it or not, won't affect anything.
No shout out this time, but next time there will be!
Chapter 15
Chamomile Tea
"Grr!" Rin shouted. Enuresis and I jumped from our places.
"What's 'sa matter with you?" Enuresis said.
"Nothing." She growled and went back to looking at her hand held laptop that she just bought at a vendor.
"Excuse me, would you like anything else?" Said a kind waitress. Rin growled some more and the waitress edged away from her, trying not to seem afraid.
"Uh...can I have another thing of Oden?" Enuresis asked. I looked at her exasperated.
"But you just had one!"
"But I'm hungry!" Letting out a sigh I sank a bit in my spot.
"If it's not too much just a small cup of chamomile tea." I said heavily. The waitress nodded and smiled kindly before leaving.
"Jeez Rin, you nearly gave her a heart attack!" No...make it stop! Why was I cursed to be stuck with two bickering, loud children!
"Oh yah! Well with all of the foods you're eating, you'll get fat and it will all go to your hips! See if Kenta wants to go out with you then!"
"He will so!" "Na uh!"
"Ya huh!" I sank even lower.
"Your tea miss." Said the waitress, barely audible over the other two. I nodded my thanks, paid for it, and took a huge swallow of the warm savory liquid, almost forgetting about the other two. The waitress waited next to Enuresis waiting to be paid for the Oden.
"Uh...excuse me, but you need to pay..."
"Who asked you?" Enuresis and Rin both snapped. I took another swig; hopefully, this is all just a bad dream. Maybe if I close my eyes, I will wake up back at the Bath House. Nope. I let out another sigh. You owe me Enuresis.
"Here. I'll pay." I said and handed over a black and silver krinklet.
"Miss, this is too much."
"Well, you had to put up with these two, I figured the least I could do is give you a tip." I said tiredly. She smiled.
"Yes, but you have to deal with them all day." My mouth twisted into a sardonic smile.
"Yup. For who knows how much longer at that." The woman smiled. You know, she's the first human I've seen here. Hm. Interesting.
"Excuse me. I must ask you two to leave the premises." Said a large blob in the local fancy garb. Now what?
"What! But we weren't doing anything!" Rin shouted in outrage.
"You're disturbing my customers. I was informed especially about this girl sitting across from you being disturbed." He said with his hands on his hips. Rin and Enuresis looked at me surprised, while I looked at the very interesting ceiling. It's quite shiny. And the green plants that seem to grow from the roof and cling down onto the walls. Absolutely fascinating.
"Her? But she's with us."
"Don't matter. Now leave."
"No. I don't think we will." I flinched and tried not to snicker.
"Your choice." He said before two large, brutish, almost dog like spirits appeared and dragged Rin and Enuresis.
"Wait! That's not fair!"
"Oh great! My days gone from bad to worse! First we get lost, and then I find out that my favorite fan fic author can't post up another chapter for awhile! Now this! Can it get any worse?" Yes, it could I soon realized, as both were flung into the streets and heard Rin's computer go crunch as she landed on it. The two bulky guards came back in and locked the doors from the inside as Rin and Enuresis tried to futily get in.
Hearing giggling from behind me I looked at the over innocent looking waitress who had tended me. She winked and I smiled.
"Thank you." I said and she set another cup of tea in front of me.
"On the house." I smiled. Ahhh...peace, quiet, chamomile tea, and best of all, no arguing companions. Can it get any better?
