~~~~Present time, Sakuno's home.~~~
Sakuno; 15
Tomoka: 17
A white bed with a pink comforter had a stream of chocolate brown hair that casscaded down. A pale hand poked out from under the covers with glass beads on it's small wrist. The sheets went up and down, steadily and smoothly. The soft sounds of sighs and breathing made the only sounds in the purple room.
The shelve held a few items and photo frmaes and on the other side of the room was a wall lined with stuff animals with their faces full of smiles, and their plush fur begging to be brushed and loved as well. Their was only one window with pink curtains that illuminated the room with a peachful dark hue while the stars were still shining befor they were outdone by the same big old star in the sky.
All through out the room, the sounds of crickets and bird reached out. A scean of quiet the likes of which few would ever experiance. Peace.
"SAKUNO!"
'THUD'
The form under the sheets jerked off and fell onto the ground with a squeal. Like a sheet ghost, they stumbled towards the other side of the room, and made an audible 'THUMP' as it hit it's head on the wall and rolled to the ground. It stayed their for a moment, and then it's face was ripped of to reveal a girl with pale skin, chocolate brown eyes, and her hair falling all over her face and into her wide open mouth.
She gave out a sigh, and stood up to allow her sheety skin to fall off to reveal her blue top and shorts. Her legs and arms were long and smooth, her hair was a mess, but still. Her busts were on the small side, but she had a nice curve. The only thing about her, was a dark mark on her neck...
She rubbed her head, and went to the window to see another person out. "Tomo-chan!" She scolded at the woman's grin as she placed the megaphone on the ground.
The woman had sharp fow ears with white tips and a furry tail that swayed back and forth. THe school cloths hugged her large bust and accsented her cute almond eyes in both sense of the words. Her long legs held white leggings and brown shoes.
"Time to get up!" She said with the megaphone again and a smart look to boot with her fang poking out.
Sakuno glared at her befor she invited her fox self into her house. 'I wish I knew where grandma is at 4 o'clock in the morning.' She thought sadly to herself as she went to her closet where her dresser was stashed.
'And on saturday!' She pulled out a purple skirt with a black blose with a pink accsented hear in the middle and grey leggings.
After a few minutes of bathing and drying, Sakuno cam out of her in-room bathroom and in her cloths and her hair in loose pigtails like Tomoka's. She walked down the stair of the white halls to see Tomoka in her pantry picking out junk food with a platter with her tail flying like crazy.
"Orning swepy wead!" Tomoka greeted with 3 mint fudge covered cookies in her mouth, never once looking back at her as she grabbed a bag of BBQ chips.
"Cheew, and swallow." The fox girl glanced at her, and skipped the first part with a smile. "You need more bright colors Saku." She mummbled while grabbing a clear container toolde in the mountain of food. Mostly full of cholestarol and calories-fat.
"Today's the day! Almost birthday girl," Tomoka giggled as she walked up to her 6inches shorter friend. She placed the container in her hands as she looked at nothing in particular.
" a new event's beyond the horizion!" She said over dramatically while holding her own hands together. Sakuno pooed to the side of her with, what you'd call, a deadpanned face with a sweat drop.
"Working at Cafe, or the first job we've ever had? That kind of event beyond the horiz-?" The fox placed her hands over her friends head and pushed it down.
"Your still naive~!" She said in a sing-song voice while waving a finger. Sakuno moved out from under her hand, watching the fox tumble.
"Let's just hurry, befor we're late!" Sakuno shouted as she looked out side to see humans and demons walking around. The two ran out the door and past the group of kids from the closeest high school; Segaku.
~~~ 17 minutes later ~~~
Koubo Cafe
A small building with brown walls, roof, see through plexi glass doors, and black wire tables with black umbrellas and chairs stood a block away from Segaku High. Inside, the walls were copper and the seats for the few booths were cusioned with a green streak.
The counter was clear and in front of the various machines that dispenses drinks and a display case of their snacks stood under neath. The back room was marked for employees only. It was at least able to hold 45 people.
The waiters and waitresses, at least seven today, wore regular clothing with aprons on. The doors opened, and Tamoka and Sakuno came through the doors with a jingle of the bells over head and were greeted by the scent of sweets and coffe.
'Wonderful...' Sakuno thought as she carried the load of snacks in her hands, while Tomoka carried a large box they bought at a bulk store filled with chocolate candy peices.
(Do they have something like a Sam's club in Tokyo? Mever mind.)
As soon as they entered, a bat boy with pink eyes and short white hair walked up in his aproned blue jeans and black skull shirt. He had tanned skin and a smile on his youthful face as he rose a veiny wing towrads the two.
"Hey Saku, Hi Tomo!" He yelled as they dropped their load on a empty table.
"Tomo-chan! Remember your honorifics american boy!" Tomoka teased as she ruffled his hair with while he grinned. Sakuno stiffled her laughter at the boy who was roughly her size.
"It's boss here Tomo, and I'm able to make something happen," He snapped his fingers to prove his point. "just like that!"
A few waiters who were on their brakes came up and and spirited away the treats to the back. The three just exchanged looks of the robot like actions. Then, they busted out laughing.
"Why are you two the only ones who don't act like that?" The boy laughed, though if you listened hard enough, you could hear the same thing coming from the kitchen.
"Because we've know you for so long, you don't classify as a rapist."
"Okay!" He shoved his clawed hands at Tomoka as a few workers snickered. "Now you guys have been been since God knows how long! I think you two know what's what, and you can ask some of the others."
The girls stood ridgid and held their hands to their sides. "Yes sir!" The boy just shook his head as he left out, crouched down and psread his wings, and dissappered in a blur.
"I'll NEVER, get over thaAAHHH!" Tomoka screamed as a white hand ghost to her shoulder.
The two turned round to see a tall and fair albino woman. She had on a blue tank with black shorts and sandles. Her eyes were large bright red and her skin was pale and would be see through if it wern't so white. Her hair was clear and longer than Sakuno's and her body rivaled Tomoko's curves.
"Kina, it's been too long." The burnet said as she walked up to her old friend, who only opened her hald laddened eyes a bit to look at her. Sakuno brought her into a hug, but she mearly hugged back, not a smile on her face.
"Kina?" The fox reached into her pockets and pulled out a picture of the same Kina 8 yrs ago. She was smiling and jumping away from a angry dog girl with her hair like a cape. Her face was briming with glee as she glanced at the camera. The red eyes seemed to glow brightly comparred to the now darker and duller ones of today.
She tried to get answers, but the human girl sent her a look that spelt 'Don't you dare!'
As soon as the albino was releashed from the hug, she grabbed the burnets wrist and pulled her towards the counter. "K-kina!" Tomoka was about to go after them, but her eyes were cast on a cat boy with blond hair sipping his coffee. She wasn't going anywhere but at the unoccupied seat next to him.
The two stopped behind the counter and Kina finaly let go to pull out a peice of confetti typing paper labled 'SPECIAL EVENTS!'
Tapatapatapatapatapatapa!
Sakuno looked to where the finger kept hitting to see the store was booked tomorrow for a party at 9:00P.M. From the high school down the block. "Okay, got it. And don't worry Kina, I won't screw up!" Kina roes a crystal brow at her.
The burnet laughed as she messed with her hair. "Hundrith time's the charm?" She laughed as the girl rolled her red eyes, but then they landed on her neck. Sakuno caught this and tried to ease her mind with a smile.
"Kina, I told you, I'm fine. It's no big problem." The girl stood still for a moment and then reached into her pockets to pull out a mech. pencils and a notepad. She wrote something down and gave it to Sakuno.
'If having two deep fang marks in your arteries are no big deal, then I guess that bisection's a paper cut to you!'
"... you always go overboard.." She shook her head as the girl magically obtained a apron and put it around the girl's frame; not a single twich or sound. Sakuno was watching Tamoka talking with a cat boy at the back. 'Their having fun.' She thought gumly while at the smae time comparing herself to Tamoka.
"Hey Kina?" She asked as the albino gave her the items she needed; notepad, pancil, napkikns. She was a waitress aparently. "How's it like, you know, going to a public school?"
She turned to see a business suited man walk in with a brifecase and was all spiffied up. Probably a lawyer. Kina wrote a note to Sakuno.
'He looks just like a C.I.A. agent with a briefcase gun. ;3'
'Atleast you still have that childish charm Kina.' Sakuno smiled at the same old note that was proof it's the same girl from befor.
'P.S. We all know about your fear of a crowded space full of people Saku-chan. It would be much different to you than it is for me. Physically and mentaly. Let's just start practicing in the shallow end of the sea befor we go reef diving.'
"...meanie." She was then nudged by the ghost elbow holding a mug of coffee and a strawberry donut in the other. Sakuno turned around and jumped to see the chocolate dipped spoon were right behind her. Well, the business man was having a laugh while the blond cat dashed out the doors.
After a five hours and 13 coustomes later, the boss, Trieco, came back with supplies for the party afterwards. Tomoka was flirting with a shy human-sized Water mosk naga (who dosen't speak any japanese or english) and Sakuno and Kina had to pull her away. The naga was eternally grateful.
"Hey Kina?" Sakuno asked the girl handing out a latte to a man in an attempt to get sober. She mearly nodded her head like a robot to show she was listening. Tomoka on the other hand was taking an early break behind Trieco's back. Litterally, as he was having a confrence with an important customer, she was flirting with the man's secritary while Trieco wasn't looking.
"What's going on tomorrow that has the entire place booked?" The albino pulled out the same notepad, scribbled something down fora few second, and held it into Sakuno's face.
'Some lucky heartthrob demon boy that got into Segaku High's tennis team. It's no big deal. But you'll have to wear something that covers you up and ignore the words all the time.'
"Why?" More scribbling.
'It's mating session this month, and for the rest of fall... Besides, your the type of girl anyone can easily get naked and into bed with.' Sakuno's face, maybe even her whole body, turned bright red.
'wha, me, but!' Her mind red with several thoughts, already tyring to process the black and white words befor her own eyes.
Kina reach behind her to make a plain balck coffee, that is, until a waitress and her friend pointed frantically at the floor. Kina looked down and blinked as her eyes opened a centameter. Their sprawled out Saku-chan, passed out.
'Her shift is done.'
She left to note their and picked up the girl to hand her to their only healer; a chili pepper, brown coffee mix.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With Trieco ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thier will be a medium-sized group of adolescences, around, 15 or so. It all depends on the number of tennis players. None have any allergies and very few are aggresive. We are ready for any price you wish to make."
Trieco just sat their with his head on his chin, his ears twtching at the changes of the man's voice and keeping watch on the store.
"I understand that Shingaku's a very popular school Mister Sautro." Trieco said to the caucasion male from across him along with his friend, who paid enough attention to them both.
"But do you really need to be carrying around a conceled weapon?" He pointed towards the suitcase with a rose brow. "Bad for bussines!" He whispered as he leaned in. The two exchanged glances as he frowned and locked his fingers together to rest his chin.
"Well, it's a bad habit. Most of our clients arn't very docile as you seem to be."
'Bat's are solitary flight than fight mammals. But, okay.'
"Their is one thing I ask of you though my good man."
"Are we okay with your foxxy waitress flirting with my secutary?" He deadpanned as the said man smiled over to the girl's half exposed body.
"Does she really think I don't hear her? Hold on a sec." Trieco got up from his saet with a smile and stopped right behind the bright ponytail. "BACK TO WORK!" Anyone in the store eighter held their ears or grinned.
The fox juped up with a yell, and scrambled off with her tail between her legs, flat ears, and whimpering from the booming voice. Trieco walked back with a smile on his face.
"You see, i've hired two very trustworthy friends, who desperaty needs the money." He stressted as the two watched the fox girl being handed orders for two different tables.
"The fox, she's okay. But her friend you see is special." The two shrugged their brows at him. Had he hired a retard, or some type of pschopath?
"She's a very sweet homeschooled girl." A pervert? Maybe a masturbater? "She's kinda clumbsy, and has never be in a large crowd for over a minute." A criminal? An escapepe! What the hell is she!
"She has a small case of Agra, Eroto, and Genophobias." ...Wait, what? What's all that mean?
"To put it simply, she's scared of anything sexual theme; like no-no touching, flirting, and, anything to do with possibly causing bodily fuilds to leak out. Male or female." The two looked wide eyed at him to try to see ANY signs of joking. He was dead serious in his exuberant pink eyes.
"What? You two thought I'd hire a pervert or something?" The two's eyes went wide at the idea of him reading their minds.
"By the way, the cost of the party, including food, drinks, entertainment," He glared at the two, who held their hands up in a sign of surrender for any pervy thoughts. "and time taken out of my valuable servers and chefs has been calculated."
He reached into his pockets to pull out a long sheet of paper with a circle at the bottom, highlighting the price. The man looked at it, and placed it into his pockets. "We shall make a check for you, AFTER the party." Trieco was not listening, on accout that a few people seemed to go up to the counter.
"Just don't screw with Sakuno or your paying for harassment. No exception!" And sped walked away from the two to see Kina lifting Sakuno up and heading into the kitchen.
The kitchen was a beige at 40x30. Their tabletops were marble and the stoves were a black electric. The ovens were in the back and the freezer was just on the other side and filled with cold confections and savory dishes. The five chefs and bakers stopped what they were doing to see the silent albino girl come in with a smaller and younger looking child on her back.
Soon, their boss came in and helped the girl into a seat in the corner.
"Happen ta er?" The african baker asked as his green eyes fell upon the limp girl.
"It's okay everyone, it's just, uh..." He turned to find a note in his face.
'She passed out from heat exhaust. Told you she's a blusher.' He gave a half smile at her and turned around. "She over heated herself!"
Snickers all exhumed, causing Trieco to wave his winged hands at them. "Yeah yeah yeah, it sounded like a sex joke, I get it. Let's al just get ready for that party tomorrow. Kina,"
She rose her eyes at him. "You know what to do my friend." She nodded and looked back at the girl. He skin went back to it's pale color along with her faded pink lips. She looked down at Sakuno's body; it was small, yes, but her skin was soft and smooth, her hair silky, her lashes were semi-lush, and she had curves all on her own.
Only one thought reach Kina and Trieco, the same as a doctor would for announcing a death, with much certainty and grace at an inivitable situation.
'She's rape bait...'
