Breakfast and a strange conversation later, Takara still hadn't found out who Vincent's girlfriend was. It was eating away at her mind, like a rabbit munches on grass. But. She put it out of her mind as she washed her and Vincent's plates off. She dried them with a hand towel that was over her shoulder, and set them on the counter. She walked out of the kitchen, drying her hands on the towel. She tossed the towel on the table before walking down the hall. Vincent had already disappeared into his room. So again. No one was visible.
She walked into her room, and over to her desk. She grabbed her pad of Post-It notes and a light purple gel pen. She scribbled a message on the top Post-It, pulled it off the pad and walked back into the hallway. She took a sharp left and went through a door. Axel's room. She walked over to his bedside table, ignoring the bright-white-Axel-butt staring at her. She rolled her eyes, grabbed a set of keys that was on the bedside table and stuck the note where they were. She walked back out, shutting the door quietly. She held up Axel's keys, grinning. 'Road trip!' was the first thing that came to her mind. But, she then remembered why she borrow the keys to the bike. Cloud's work. the Go-Cart place. Got it. She safely stuck the keys in her pocket and headed back into her room.
Aimlessly finding things to keep her mind busy, she stayed in her room until 1:25pm. It was a weekend, and Axel still hadn't awoke to find his keys gone. So. She could still get to Cloud's work. Cloud had gone off to work around 7am, but as to not worry him or anything, she decided not to follow him that closely. So she waited a few hours. But. Her waiting was done now, so she walked out of her room. Out the front door, down the stairs and out to Axel's bike. Grinning, she swung her leg over, sat down and got comfortable. She stuck the key in the ignition and gave a twist. The parking lot filled with the bike's engine's sounds. Taka smiled. She kicked up the kickstand, re-balanced the bike, look both ways, pulled out of the parking spot, and then out of the parking lot.
-
Some where inside... Axel sat upright in bed, with a start. Was that his bike? He turned to his right, to look at his bedside table. He stared, shocked, at his missing keys that were replaced with a Post-It note. He ripped the Post-It note up and put it in front of his face.
' Needed the bike this afternoon. Don't worry. I'll take good care of her. Love, Taka ' said the Post-It. Axel stared at the small paper at a loss for words. He then clenched his hands into fists and clamped his eyes shut. He looked toward the ceiling.
"TAKARA!"
-
Taka sighed as she sat at what seemed to be the longest stop light ever. She crossed her arms, balancing the entire bike with just her feet on the ground. She sighed again and looked to the cars beside her. The one on her right: An old couple in black clothes, that appeared to be going to a funeral. The car on her right: Two, semi-attractive young men, listening to something really loud, with all the windows rolled up. One guy looked out the window at her, grinned and rolled the window down. He sang along with their song, to her.
"Not to be forward, Miss. But I think I'll kill myself, If I never know. What do I have to do to get inside of you? To get inside of you? 'Cause I love the way you move, when I'm inside of you." he sang. Takara gave a sarcastic smile, put her right hand on the handle, and waved at them cutely with her left hand. They turned their music down. She leaned a little closer to them.
"Hi Boys." she said, giving a fake grin. "Oh. By the way. The way to a girl's heart is not by singing obscene Hoobastank lyrics to her from you car window." she nodded. Looked back at her stop light, now green and sped off, away from them. She rolled her eyes, putting her left hand on the handle. "Men." she mumbled as she took a sharp left. She went down the road, about a block, then took another left. She was now in a parking lot that belonged to 'Jimmy Jim's Go Cart's'. She'd always thought this was the stupidest name ever. But hey. It's go carts. She pulled into a parking spot, kicked the kick stand down and pulled the key out of the ignition. She hopped off the bike and stretched. She slid the keys in her pocket and headed for the entrance. There was Cloud. Behind the counter at the front. Watching a customer, with mild interest.
"Thaaaank you, Sir." Cloud said, as the customer stuffed a five dollar bill into the tip jar on the counter. Takara walked up.
"Hey Hair Gel." she said simply. Cloud paused and looked up. He wore an expression that was both shock and 'Why-is-she-here?'. He looked back down at what he was doing, putting money in the cash register, just to find out the he'd stuck a five with the tens, a ten with the ones and two quarters in with the pennies. He frowned. Taka leaned her elbows on the counter. She watched him fix the money and shut the drawer. He looked back at her.
"Hiya Taka." he said simply. He paused, tilting his head. "Why've you invaded in on said territory?" he asked. Taka opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it again. Well, It started out normal. She gave a slight smile.
"Can't I visit your work territory?" she asked. He shrugged.
"Do you have a good enough sacrifice for the Devil, to enter this territory?" he asked, tilting his head again. She raised an eyebrow.
"Um. Can I be a sacrifice?" she asked, taking a step back, and posing, attracting a few looks from the guys around. It didn't help that she was in tight jeans, and a loose black tank top. Cloud paused and then shrugged again.
"I guess that's ok. But you have to wear less than that next time." he nodded. Taka gave half a smile and dropped from her pose. She nodded.
"Right. Anyway. I just wanted to visit." she nodded again.
"For no reason?" he asked. She nodded. She opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by a co-worker of Cloud's.
"Cloud! Cart six has a loose tire. That thing's gonna speed off and crash if it doesn't get fixed. And no one can catch up to it!" the female co-worker said, slightly out of breath. Cloud dashed past her, out of their small booth and onto the track that had been to the left of Taka. Taka watched as Cloud bolted after the cart, quickly gaining on it. The co-worker took his place the was by the counter. She smiled.
"Can I help you, Miss?" she asked politely. Taka gave a slight laugh.
"No. I'm fine. I came to visit Cloud." she nodded. The co-worker nodded. Taka leaned her elbows back onto the counter. "Say. I've got an odd question for you." she tilted her head. The co-worker smiled again.
"Shoot." she nodded. Taka nodded too.
"Is Cloud weird around here? I mean, does he do and say weird things? Insane things?" she asked, looking around the small booth. The co-worker paused thinking. She shook her head.
"Nothing really weird. He talks normal. Doesn't ask weird questions or anything. The only weird thing I've seen him do is take a few hair binders every day." she said, pointing at a basket on the counter. Hanging off the edge of the basket was a note that read: 'Longer haired customers are asked to bind their hair before riding the go carts.' Taka paused. So that's where Cloud gets the hair binders. But still. Why does he need them? The co-worker spoke again. "And he really doesn't need hair binders, now does he?" she smiled. Taka shook her head, smiling.
"Too short of hair." she nodded. The co-worker nodded too. She then tilted her head, pausing.
"Are you his girlfriend?" she asked. Taka choked on air and looked at her.
"What? No. I'm one of his roommates." she laughed, nervously. The coworker raised an eyebrow
"He has a female roommate?" she tilted her head. Taka nodded.
"I'm the only girl in the apartment. There's Cloud, Vincent and my older brother Axel, living there." she nodded. The coworker nodded.
"Doesn't it feel a little weird living with three guys?" she tilted her head. Taka shrugged.
"They're my best friends. I know they wouldn't try anything." she said, as Cloud walked back into the booth. The co-worker stepped aside and let him have his spot back. Cloud stepped toward Taka. The co-worker looked from Cloud to Taka, nodded then walked out of the booth. Cloud looked back at Taka.
"I'm not insane at work, Taka." he said, pulling up a chair that was in the booth. He sat down. Taka blinked.
"Well. I was just wondering. Not many jobs hire insane people." she said, tilting her head. Cloud shrugged.
"I have to be polite, proper and boring at work, Why should I be at home?" he asked, frowning slightly. Taka nodded. That made sense.
"Well." she shrugged. "Makes sense. Are you going to be good old Cloud when you get home tonight?" she smiled. Cloud laughed and nodded once.
"Definitely." he said simply. She nodded.
"Then I guess I'll be going. Like I said, I was just wondering." she nodded. Cloud shrugged.
"Don't tell the guys, ok?" he asked, smiling slightly. She laughed. She held up her right hand, and put her left hand over her heart.
"I swear I won't." she said, laughing slightly. She put her hands down as he nodded.
"See you at home then." he said. She nodded. "Oh. Can you gather the little green men and put them back in their barrel for me?" he asked. She laughed.
"Of course." she nodded, waved, and walked off. A normal conversation the ended with insanity. She swung her leg over the bike and started it up. This day was proving to be interesting.
