CHAPTER 2:
Walking around the streets of Saubreme, the group looked around for something strange. What should they be looking for? They don't know. Victorique eyed around slowly.
"The streets are pretty quiet today..." Kujo muttered quietly to himself. "Especially for the weekend. It's usually pretty crowded... The kids aren't really out either..."
Kujo heard running footsteps behind him. He stopped, turned around, and force pushed him to the ground followed by the weight of a lady. A picnic basket flew in the air and hit the ground, it's belongings rolling out onto the pavement. Everyone stopped, as if time did also.
The lady was stunned. When she recovered consciousness, she jumped up. "Ah! I - I'm sorry! I was in a rush to get back to my family's jewelery shop. I was supposed to cook my family dinner, but I fell asleep and I had to rush in and out of the grocery store because I didn't want to get my family starved and I was rushing to get back to the shop and I ran too fast and-"
"It's OK! Don't worry about it." Kujo cut her off as he stood up, brushing himself off. He looked over and saw that her groceries had fallen out of the basket.
"Oh dang it!" She said walking over to her basket, rolling the vegetables back into it. "Well, nothing a little washing can't do. I'm Michelle, Michelle Maplewood. I'm sorry about that little bumping though, I really am. If I knew how to repay you I would- Oh! How about coming over to the shop for dinner?"
"I'm sorry, but my sidekick here and I are busy." Victorique answered for Kujo. Suddenly, a growling comes from her stomach. She looks down ashamed. "OK... but right after we finish we have to be out."
"Great! Here, follow me." Michelle replies happily, leading them with a smile on her face.
"How come I didn't get a say in this?" Ciel murmured, not wanting to eat at a stranger's house.
"Some people here are hungry. If you don't want to come, then you don't have to. Go and find some more information." Victorique made a gesture with her hand at the boy as if to shoo him away.
"Fine." He sighed, walking the opposite way with his butler by his side.
"Uhh, OK! We just have to follow this road and turn right at the - One, two, three - forth turn." Michelle said to the two students beside her. As they walked, Kujo actually looked at the lady. She had long, brown hair that reached her knees and waved at the bottom, her eyes were big and purple, and looked as if she was in her own little world. She was about a head taller than he was. She wore a checkered pink-and-black miniskirt, pink and black knee-high, argyle-designed socks and black high-tops, a pink and black diagonally-striped tie to accompany her white dress shirt, and a black fedora hat.
The turned the corner they had to, and continued down the street. After passing a few houses, she stopped. "And here it is!"
The a shop was normal-sized. It had big windows out front to reveal the items and to hook customers in. "I'm back!" She said opening the door yelling out. The place had a back room, where they were probably going to end up eating. Victorique looked around as she still followed behind Michelle. She spotted a ring being shown off on the counter.
She walked over to it. The ring was golden, carved into words that read:
Life is too short for regrets.
She held up her fingers and looked at them, then back at the ring. The ring already looked too big for her, so she didn't bother trying it on. She walked away back behind Kujo.
They went into the back room, where the two saw 2 kids: a girl about 10, and a boy about 13. "This is my brother and sister, Mitchell and Mirabelle. Mitchell, Mirabelle, this is... Oh! Sorry! I haven't even gotten your names yet." Michelle rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment.
"I'm Kazuya Kujo, and this is Victorique." Kujo introduced.
"Hello," Michelle's siblings said in unison. Just by their voices, they can tell their personality. Mitchell said it happily, meaning he liked to meet new people. Mirabelle said it bluntly, so she was a person who didn't really care about what was happening if it's something that doesn't have to do with her.
"I'll get to cooking. You guys get along now." Michelle giggled moving through a doorway leading to the kitchen-like room.
Victorique shifted awkwardly, and walked back to the ring, Kujo following her close behind. "Life is too short for regrets..." She murmured.
Well, there you go! Sorry it's a bit shorter. _ I hoped you liked it. I'll see you in the next chapter, of course :D [Unless I lost you... but lets not think about that. ._.]
