The Advantages and Disadvantages
Heiwa Kazeru began to tap her foot on the wooden floor as she checked her watch for the third time. The brunette leaned against the wall, and her stoic face betrayed any emotion that would destroy her reputation as Karin's childhood friend. She could hear rustling and cursing behind the wooden door as her friend scrimmaged through the closet inundated with clothes. Heiwa sighed and closed her eyes to recall how Karin became her closest friend. Her indefatigable memories entertained her with humor and happiness, and they left her drifting into her mind to search for the reasons.
Her mind led her to when they first met in elementary school, and Heiwa grimaced to recall their first fist-fighting. The brunette remembered that Karin was a contumacious mule that wouldn't give up on anything, and her younger self resembled a dour, spoiled child who thought nothing mattered to her. Karin and Heiwa acted differently and thought differently, yet they befriended each other because they depended on their strengths. Karin's audacious attitude brought her to know what she should do after her mother's death and her constant irresolution, and Heiwa's knowledge benefited their lives as both human and "death gods." They continued to squall over menial issues together, but their minds set into one pertinacity: to satisfy their unknown, intangible need that appeared constantly insatiable. Heiwa didn't know where or why, but the need wasn't avaricious or austere. Unlike Heiwa's parsimonious family who spent their money prodigally, she was seeking something to fill her emptiness that frustrated her.
"Heiwa, let's go see what mission we have! I'm done changing my clothes," said Karin who waved her hand in front of Heiwa's sight. The brunette growled and shoved the waving hand away from her face.
"You don't have to be obnoxious. I can hear you from the other side of the door." Karin blew a raspberry at her friend as Heiwa tried to not slam her face with the door. Even though Heiwa's éclat helped Karin from failing the test and Karin's obdurate attitude persuaded Heiwa to seek a better life, Karin and Heiwa were close to cause another argument between them.
