It All Started With a Yellowtail Burger
Chapter 1:Burger…Burger…BURGER
It was another beautiful day in Japan. Summer had started and Eido woke up at 11:34 AM. He let out a long yawn and quickly took a shower and got dressed, however he spent another half an hour on his hair, the perfect dew comes with a great price (time and patience). When he left his room he saw Hyde sitting by his door. "What took you so long? First you sleep forever, then you take almost an hour to get ready!" The mamodo spat out annoyed.
"Good morning to you too." Eido said sarcastically. It normally takes a lot to get Hyde angry, he usually keeps his cool, he must have gotten a little impatient to have to wait until lunch time…LUNCH… Eido finally realized exactly what time it was and realized he was hungry. "Hey…how about a burger."
Hyde let out a disappointed sigh. "Fine." He started walking to the door and waited for Eido to put his shoes on and grab his skateboard before walking out the door.
"JIKIR!" Eido yelled the first spell forcing a powerful blast of wind to get them airborne as he jumped on his skateboard. He quickly flew to the usual spot, the Megumi billboard, and grabbed a pair of binoculars he had left there. "Lets see what we can find…" He scanned the view of the restaurant for any fresh burgers, and then he found the jackpot! Two yellowtail burgers, fries, two sodas, and they were on its way to a table. "Perfect! JIKIR!" Hyde manipulated the wind to create a constantly moving sphere of wind around the meal. Then he moved the bubble all the way to the billboard.
"Looks good Eido." Hyde said without showing any emotion whatsoever.
"Nice grab buddy!" Eido said just before taking his burger and removing the wrapper. Then he noticed a slip of paper stuck to the inside of the wrapper. "Well, hello…" He peeled off the piece of paper and read it aloud as Hyde started eating his burger. "Congratulations…guess we won something." Eido said staring at the paper confused.
"Really? Well I never would have guessed." Hyde said sarcastically. Eido continued to eat his burger as Hyde started on the fries. "Wonder what we won? Guess it was worth the wait after all." Hyde said getting curious.
"Yea." Eido agreed as he finished his burger. "I've really never won anything before."
"Well, good thing you're starting now, because otherwise I'd be screwed in a mamodo battle." Hyde said smiling at his partner.
"…" Eido wasn't sure if that was an insult or a compliment, so he changed the subject. "Let's just go see what I won!" He stood up and shouted, "JIKIR!" They caught a blast of wind and drifted to the ground. They landed near the restaurant, but far enough away so that nobody saw them land. When they landed Eido's skateboard slipped out from underneath him and he fell down.
"You're pathetic. Ya know that?" Hyde said disappointed. Eido got up, frowned at his partner, and walked over to the entrance holding the slip of paper.
When he entered he walked over to the counter and the girl at the register asked, "hello may I help you?"
"Yeah, I found this in my burger wrapper." He said holding up the paper.
"Wow! You won…and I thought that contest was a hoax." The girl said shrugging her shoulders.
"So…what exactly did I win?" Eido asked raising an eyebrow.
"You won a free vacation to, well…pretty much anywhere you want for a month." The girl said trying to sound enthusiastic.
"Wow really! That's awesome!" Eido yelled as Hyde crossed his arms and shook his head while leaning his back against the side of the counter. "I mean, um, that's cool. So can I bring a friend on my trip?" He said glancing at Hyde who was just a little too short for the girl to see.
"Let me get the manager, I was supposed to get him anyway." The girl said walking to the back of the kitchen.
Eido saw the manager come from the kitchen and the man laughed a little before saying, "Congratulations kid! You won our contest!"
"Yeah, I kind of figured." Eido said shaking the man's hand. The manager was a tall man a bit of a gut and a red tie on; his nametag said Steven. "So I was wondering if I can bring a friend on the trip?"
"Of course you can bring a friend!" The manager said in an extra cheery tone. "A vacations no fun if you don't have anyone to spend it with!" He said slapping Eido on the back. "So, who's your friend?"
"The little guy right there." Eido pointed at Hyde and the manager walked around the counter to see the kid.
Hyde just gave the man a blank stare showing no emotion that seemed to pierce his soul like an arrow. At first the cold stare scarred him but then he decided that it was just a kid, how dangerous could he be? "Isn't that nice? Is he your brother or something?" He asked curiously.
"Nah, just some kid I found, but now we're friends." Eido said handing his paper to the manager. "Is Hawaii alright?" Eido said picturing hula dancers and bikini-clad women on the beach.
"Sure, sure, but doesn't he have any parents." The man took the paper and wrote a note.
"Nope. So when do I leave?" Eido said starting to think about how Hyde feels and how much he must miss his home.
"Anytime you like." The man responded.
"Cool. How about tomorrow." Eido said calmly.
"Anxious, aren't we? That's fine." He said. "I'll meet you at the airport tomorrow to give you your tickets. By the way, what's your name?" He asked.
"Eido, and he's Hyde." He said pointing to the green eyed kid who was now standing behind him with his hands in his pockets.
"Very well, give me this note when you get to the airport to receive your tickets." The Steven handed the paper to Eido who snatched it up immediately.
"Hawaii, here we come!" Eido yelled grinning.
