Adorable Mamodo--Part 2
"Reikom? Where are you?" I said sleepily as I sat up and realized that he wasn't in the room. Forcing myself to get up, I dragged my sleepy body into the kitchen, and blinked my eyes quickly to get them to stay open. Once they adjusted to the light, I realized that I'd found him. He was sitting in the middle of the floor, drinking a can of something. When I figured out what it was, I gasped and my eyes grew wide.
"Nnnooo! Don't drink that! It'll make you hyper!" I yelled. Reikom stopped drinking it, turned to stare at me, and burped. I restrained my urge to fall over and laugh, and sighed, "Do you even know what the heck you're drinking?" "No, but whatever it is, it tastes good!" was the Mamodo's reply. "Those are expensive, 2$ a can. They're energy drinks called Monster. Don't drink them all in one day. In fact, just one a day," I said. "And they're not just any sodas either." Reikom turned his head to the side and blinked. Ok, I forgot that he had no idea what the heck I was talking about, so I said, "Never mind that." "Ok."
For some reason, he seemed anxious about something. Maybe his body wasn't used to so much caffeine. Or, could it be something that I didn't notice? Well, it was something that I didn't notice yesterday. I bonked my forehead on the wall after having looked at the glowing blue book on the table. "Stupid me! He's a Mamodo. And what do all 100 of them have? Spellbooks," I thought and picked it up, opening it slowly.
I almost fell back when Reikom jumped onto my shoulder, sticking his head on top of mine, wide blue eyes peering down at the open book in my hands. "Read it!" he demanded. "Ok…Gikor!" Nothing happened. "You gotta say it with feeling," the Mamodo emphasized. "Sure. Gikor!" I yelled. Right in front of me, giant sharp ice spikes shot up from the ground. I screamed, startled, and jumped back, almost tripping. "Was that…you?" I asked. Reikom nodded. "Read the second line!" "Uhm….ok. Freezudo!" Instantly, the table before me was frozen solid. "Ooh…Mom is NOT going to like this…" I sighed. "Sorry…I have no choice but to follow the command spells that you read from that book," Reikom whispered. I nodded.
"If I'm gonna clean this up before Mom comes home, then I need a flamethrower," I said. Reikom shivered and said, "No fire." "Oh, that's right, you're ice. Then we officially have a problem." He nodded and hopped off my shoulders, landing on the floor. Much to be bad luck, the front door opened and in stepped my Mom. I froze and so did Reikom. And when my Mom turned and looked at the frozen table and ice spikes sticking out of the ground, she fainted. I sighed and looked down at Reikom, who said, "What?" "Well, let's just say that it'll take Mom a while to get used to seeing ice sculptures in the house." "Oh, ok."
Five minutes later, when she woke up, I said quickly, "Mom, this is the ice Mamodo Reikom. He'll be staying here, ok? Good." She said nothing. "Well then, that's settled. C'mon Reikom, I wanna show ya around the city ok? We'll be taking a little trip." So, he again jumped on my shoulders and the two of us went out the door.
"Where are we going first?" Reikom asked. "Welll, first, I'll show you the places to eat. Of course, to get stuff at them, you need money. This is Starbucks, thee coffee place. Things here are pricy." Next, we went to Papa John's. "The pizzas here are also expensive." Then we headed to KFC. "The chicken here is good and cheaply priced. I suggest going here if you're short on money." Next we went to Office Depot. "Here is where all the technology stuff is, like computers, printer, cameras, etc. Very overpriced stuff here." "Now do you get the general idea of where everything around here is?" Reikom nodded.
Suddenly, from behind and without warning, someone shouted what I guessed was a spell, "Juron!" I was knocked off my feet and hit the cement sidewalk hard, Reikom flying off my shoulders. "What the beeeepp!" I exclaimed and turned around to see an unlikely person…
"Haru! What on--I didn't know that you had a Mamodo!"
Haru smirked and said, "We just went from being good friends to complete rivals. When'd you get your Mamodo?" "Yesterday. When'd you get yours?" "A few months ago." "What! Howe come you didn't tell me?" I asked and stared at the wannabe gangsta (A/N: I see Haru as a wannabe gangsta. It's the way he talks/dresses. Oddly, why is it that in the Zatch Bell GN--graphic novel-- that he counts twice, both times in Spanish? Can anyone answer this q: is Haru his full name or is it Harurhiko? I saw that on some site, so I thought that that was his entire name. I dunno. Anyone else here agree with me that he's a wannabe gangsta?).
"Fine. If you wanna fight, then let's go! Gikor!" I yelled. "What the fu--" Haru couldn't finish, but I think we all know what he was going to say, because he hit the ground, ice chunks barely missing him and Sugino. "Not bad for a noobie," Haru said and he and Sugi got up. "But, too bad you missed. Now it's my turn."
I'll leave it at that, and make you all SUFFER and WAIT for the third part! AH HAHAHAHA!
Brago: What the hell is your problem?

Brago: Baka mortal…
