Step Three: Hello There, White and Black Buns

Syaoran and Kurogane walked through the corridors.
"I don't see any shops selling contact lenses…" mumbled Kurogane, "I'll ask the information corner. You wait here, I'll be right back."

After Kurogane left, Syaoran walked and stumbled unto a shop.
"I think this shop have some," he said again.

A woman who looks familiar stepped out, "Welcome to my shop. You must have come here because of hitsuzen. Come on in."
"…Hitsuzen?" Syaoran looks confused, why on earth his teacher, Yuuko, opened a weird shop here? She doesn't look to know him too.

"This is a wish-granting shop. You can get anything you wish here," she continued, "For a price, of course."

"Eh…" Syaoran looks more confused, "I'm actually… looking for contact lenses."
"Oh, you want to buy something. I thought you came here because of a wish," she walked away, "Watanuki, take care of our costumer."
"If you can't persuade him to buy, there'll be a punishment for you," she whispered to Watanuki. He gulped.

"…Hello there! You want to buy contact lenses?" Watanuki stepped out happily and handed him a catalog, "Here, here! Take a look! Which one do you want?"
"Eh…"
"This one will absolutely match you! I'll get some samples."

Kurogane walked in, "What kind of shop is this?"
"I'm not really sure," said Syaoran, "But they say they can get us anything we want for a price."
"…and they sell contact lenses too?"

"Yes," Syaoran replied, "And the one who owns this shop is one of our teachers."
Kurogane looks surprised and asked the first names came across his head, "…Icchan?"
"No, not him… if it's him I'm in danger already."
"Hmm, you're right… Fei Wong?"
"No."

"...Yuuko?"
Syaoran nodded.

Watanuki rushed back with some boxes.
"There you go! Feel free to test them!" he said, "Eh? Another customer?"
"No, I'm just accompanying him."
"Oh, I see. So, which one do you like? I think you look best with your natural eye color… so try this one."

"…I want a green one," mumbled Syaoran.
"What the heck? You think you're European or something? If you wear green you'll look like weird Japanese with moss on the eyes… okay?"

"Ehh… okay… blue?"
"Hello? Fye may look totally awesome with blue eyes but they look horrible for you! If you dare to use it I'll poke out your eyes!"

After a few minutes, Syaoran finally got his choice.
"I think I'll choose this one."
"Ok, that'll cost you this much," Watanuki pointed to the price.
"Wh… what? I thought contact lenses are cheap!" said Syaoran.
"This is quite cheap for contact lenses…"
"But I thought it'll be cheaper!"

"Any discounts?" asked Kurogane.
"…None at the moment."
"Then let's buy somewhere else."

Watanuki looks a bit panic, "Wait! I'll give you… eh… 20 percent discount!"
"…The discount is not good enough," said Kurogane.
"Come on! Fifty percent?"
"Lower more than I'll buy."
"…Sixty?"

"Ok… but do I get any extras?"

Watanuki began to look around.
"You get a free box of tissue!"
"I had enough at home," said Kurogane, "Something else."
"A mirror?"
"I had enough of those too."
"I'll give you a calendar too!"

"Hmm…"

"I know!" said Syaoran, "How about these?" he pointed on the two dolls on the desk.
"Are you still a little baby who loves playing dolls?" asked Kurogane.
"Well, no, but they look cute."

"Fine, you can take all of these with you," said Watanuki, "…so?"

"Bought!" said Syaoran and handed him some cash.
"Sold!" Watanuki handed the box happily.

Syaoran walked happily with the two dolls, and Kurogane following behind.
"…we could get something else more valuable," mumbled Kurogane, "What's so good of these two manjuu?"

Suddenly, the white doll opened its eyes.
"Huh? Where is Mokona?" it turned around and looked at Syaoran.
"Hello there," Syaoran smiled.
"Eh? Where is Watanuki and Yuuko?" it looks confused.
"Eh… we just bought you from the shop," he said, "…You can talk? Cool."
"What? Of course Mokona can talk!"
"…dolls don't talk."

"To be correct, white buns don't talk."

White Mokona turned to Kurogane, "…What's that big black thing over there?"
"Who are you calling 'big black thing', white manjuu?"
"Mokona is Mokona! Mokona is not a white manjuu!"

The other Mokona woke up. "What happened?"
"Eh… hello there… Mokona?" greeted Syaoran, "Nice to meet you, I'm Syaoran."
"Huh?"

"Watanuki sold us to him and this big black stuff!" yelled the white Mokona.
"What? Watanuki… is insane."

"Don't be afraid," said Syaoran, "We won't hurt you."
Both Mokonas turned to Kurogane and shook their heads, "Mokona don't think so."

"Kurogane-san, stop making such scary face! You scared the Mokonas."
Kurogane showed a not-amused face, "…I don't care if the buns afraid or die."

Suddenly a familiar voice called them, "Syaoran! Kuro-kuro!"

"Oh, hi there, Fye-san," said Syaoran.
"Hi there, Fye-san!" followed the Mokonas, "Nice to meet you, I'm Mokona!"
"Hello there," Fye shook hands with them, "My name is Fye."

Syaoran turned, and found Kurogane's face is as red as Minnie Mouse's ribbon. He grinned and thought, "Time for some KuroFye stuffs."

"Sorry, I got to go now," said Syaoran, "See you tomorrow, Fye-san, Kurogane-san."
"Okay, see you Syaoran," Fye waved.

"Kuro-ne," Fye turned to Kurogane, "Are you all right?"
"Oh, yes, of course. Eh…" Kurogane took out his textbooks, "Would you like to help me with the test tomorrow?"
"Sure… but why didn't you ask Syaoran?"
"He's going to explain these to me, but as you see, he suddenly went away… so…"
"Okay, no problem," Fye smiled, "I'll explain it to you."
Kurogane made a little winning pose and said, "Ah, this one. I don't understand how yeasts reproduce by budding…"
"I thought tomorrow's test is about math, not biology, Kuro-run..."

Syaoran walked away with the Mokonas.
"Where are we going?" asked white Mokona.
"What happened to the Kuro-man?" asked black Mokona.
"We're going to my house. Well, Fye is Kurogane's…"

Suddenly Syaoran stopped his words and began to shiver.

"…Syaoran?" white Mokona sounds worried.
"Syaoran, what's wrong?" added black Mokona.

A girl is walking in front of them. And you can guess who is it, it's Sakura.
"Who's that girl?" asked white Mokona.
"Yeah, who's she?" added black Mokona.
"S…she… she…" Syaoran looks like a complete dumbass as he watched her.

Sakura turned around and saw Syaoran. Syaoran, in his nervousness, smiled and said a simple "hi" to her. Sakura looks confused, but she gave him a sweet smile and walked away.

"She… smiled to me…" Syaoran giggled and then, fainted.
"Ah! Syaoran!!" yelled the Mokonas.

Meanwhile, back at the wish-granting shop, Watanuki looks really happy.
"Lalala… On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a partridge in a pear tree!"
"So noisy," said his workmate, Doumeki behind him, "It's not Christmas yet. And stop smiling around; it'll scare the people and ghosts around you."
Watanuki looks annoyed and pointed him with his mop, "Well, you don't know, I just sold something!"
"Oh. Congratulations then," Doumeki continued his work.
"Watanuki!" called Yuuko, "Where are my dear Mokonas?"

"Eh? Mokonas?"

"The white and black doll-look-a-like stuffs on my desk."
"Eh… I… I sold them…"
"What?"

Few moments later, Watanuki's screams can be heard from outside the shop.

Ah... I see some OOC here. Sorry. Next chapter is about the geek learning sports, and the "so-called" real man learning chemistry. Probably Icchan-san will appear (If not chapter 4, chapter 5 he will) Hope you enjoyed this chapter, thank you!
