Chapter 15
Kurama
and Kurome walked down the busy streets of Tokyo. Winter would soon
be coming, so it was kinda cold outside. Well that is if you're used
to the climate in Japan. Everyone was walking around in long sleeved
shirts and pants while Kurome wore jeans and a T-shirt. She was also
getting looks for more than her choice of clothing for the day.
"Ah,
ha...I guess you do have a lot of fan girls around here."
Kurome pointed out.
Kurama continued walking without replying,
focused on his destination. Kurome looked over at him.
"The
lights are on, but no one is home." Kurome said to
herself.
Suddenly Kurama came back to reality. "Did you say
something?" he asked her.
"Yea, I just asked if you're a
virgin." Kurome replied. Kurama gave her a weird look.
"I'm
just kidding, that's what you get for not paying attention."
Kurome scolded him.
"I'm sorry, I tend to drift off in
thought some times." he apologized.
"Well obviously, and
ya don't have to apologize." Kurome replied.
They came to a
restaurant, and Kurama stopped by the doors as Kurome walked past
them.
"Are you going to just keep walking?" Kurama asked
her.
Kurome turned to look at him, "I told you that I didn't
want any food!" she shouted at him, even though he was only 10
feet away.
They started to get more stares from the passing
crowds. Kurama stuck his hands in his pockets, and casually walked up
to Kurome. She stood still where she was.
"Why would you not
like to eat out." he curiously asked her.
"Because I
already ate & am not hungry." she stated.
Then her
stomach started to growl. Kurama gave her a skeptic look.
"Oh
man, I ate too much rice, and upset my stomach." Kurome
lied.
Kurama smiled at her, then placed his hands on her sides.
Kurome squirmed slightly.
"You will not." she
demanded.
Kurama raised an eyebrow, "Oh really?" he
asked her.
Then he switched his hand position so his nails were
slightly sticking in her sides. He moved his fingers slightly,
causing her to giggle as he tickled her.
"Alright alright,
stop, PLEASE!" she exclaimed.
Kurama stopped tickling her,
and put his hands back in his pockets.
"So would you like to
go eat here?" he asked.
Kurome thought for a minute. "Iie!"
she shouted as she ran off, through the crowd.
Kurama sighed as he
started to follow after her at a walking pace.
'She shouldn't run
off when she doesn't know the way.' he thought to himself.
'She
probably wasn't fully thinking the situation out like Yusuke.' Youko
told Shuichi.
"Rely on impulse, and not even your thoughts
can betray you." Kurama mumbled out loud.
He walked on for a
few more minutes before meeting Kurome in an ally way.
"Excuse
me, but are you lost?" Kurama asked as if he didn't know
her.
"Lemme alone, I don't want to eat at some ugly fancy
store." she complained.
"So you're saying you would like
to eat out?" he concluded.
"Argh, only because things
smell so good here." Kurome replied while crossing her arms in
defeat. Then she started to sniff the air.
"Mmmmm, ramen
smells good." she said.
"Well then lets go." Kurama
told her as he turned to leave.
Kurome followed him to a ramen
stand. Kurama sat down on a stool beyond the short curtins. Kurome
followed his lead.
"Ah good afternoon. What are you two
youngsters doin' here?" The owner asked.
"I want some
yummy ramen!" Kurome chirped with a smile.
The owner laughed
a little, "Well what flavor?" he asked her.
Kurome
turned her head slightly to the side, "Uhh, there are flavors
here?" she asked.
"There is everywhere. Where have you
been?" The owner asked her.
"Not here, cause the only
ramen I've ever eaten came from a packet or a cup, I thought they did
different flavors so people would buy their product more."
"I'll
have the Shrimp." Kurama ordered.
Kurome looked at him, "Same
here." she said to the owner.
"Alright, two shrimps
coming up." the owner stated while turning around to a little
kitchen station.
"Are there real shrimp in there?"
Kurome asked while sitting up to see what the man was doing.
"Of
course, I'm not running a 1-star stand here." the owner replied
with a little anger in his tone.
"Ohhh neat, never shrimp in
the packets of ramen. The cups have like 2 baby shrimp, and they are
SMALL." Kurome explained.
"So where are you from?"
The owner asked.
"Obviously a country that doesn't know their
ramen!" Kurome angrily exclaimed.
Kurama laughed as the owner
turned back around holding two bowls of steaming hot ramen in his
hands. He set a bowl down in front of the two costumers. There were
many shrimp floating at the top of the bowl.
"Here ya go."
he said as he handed them each a pair of wrapped
chopsticks.
"Arigato." The teens thanked as they
accepted the wooden eating utensils.
"Oh it's the type you
snap in two!" Kurome stated as she slid the chopsticks out of
the paper wrapper.
Kurama and the owner each laughed.
"So
I'm guessing you're new in town." the owner hypothesized.
Kurome
nodded, "Hai." she replied while breaking the chopsticks
unevenly.
Kurama snapped his evenly down the middle.
"Gomen
if I'm asking too many questions, but are you two out on a date?"
the owner asked.
Kurome started to laugh, and swallowed a long
noodle. She laughed even harder as it wiggled down her throat.
Kurama
finished the noodles in his mouth. "No, she just moved here and
I thought it'd be nice to show her around the city." Kurama
explained.
"Ah, I see." the owner replied as another
customer came and sat down next to Kurome.
" 'Afternoon sir,
what'll it be?" he asked.
"Just a glass of water."
the stranger replied.
The owner got the man a glass of
water.
Kurama and Kurome finished eating and paid for the food.
Well Kurama paid for it, and Kurome whined because she didn't have
any money.
"It's alright, it was only a bowl of ramen."
Kurama assured her.
"But it was a good bowl of ramen, and it
costed money, we could have just had a free meal back at the temple."
Kurome complained as they walked off.
"I don't care, I
enjoyed eating out, and you obviously did." Kurama stated.
They
turned a corner and continued walking back to the temple. Kurama paid
attention to the people around them, and his eyes soon narrowed.
"Umm
Kurama?" Kurome asked in a whisper.
"Yes, what is it?"
he asked in an equally quiet tone.
"You know the man that
ordered the water at the ramen place?"
"Hai, what about
him."
"His scent isn't going away, is he following us."
Kurome asked, a little concern shown in her eyes.
"Unfortunately,
yes." Kurama replied.
They quickened their pace as they
headed towards the temple to get away from normal people.
