Chapter 4: Judging Books
Mion had been avoiding Shion ever since the incident at school. Of course though, Shion wasn't making it very easy for her. Everywhere Mion went, Shion seemed to follow. And now as she was in a book store, hearing Shion's voice having a casual conversation with someone, she crumpled up the book she was flipping through,
'Dammit!' she thought, 'It's like she's a freaking stalker! Is this what Satoshi had to go through!' Her thoughts were interrupted by a person working in the store,
"Excuse me, girl, but you'll have to pay for that." Mion gave him a puzzled look,
"Why?" He replied in a bit of an annoyed voice, "Well, because you've crumpled it up beyond belief, that's why."
Mion looked at the book once again, and it was, indeed, crumpled,
"Uhh...Of course. Sorry." she paid for it and left the store.
Mion was getting very annoyed. She stomped down the sidewalk, clutching the book she had to buy because she had damaged it so badly. She argued with herself in her head,
'Stupid Shion! If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have needed to buy this stupid book! But it's not like she was really doing anything...WHATEVER! I know she would have if I had stayed there, damn bitch!' Mion stopped and looked behind her. Shion wasn't there, so she breathed a sigh of relief,
"Thank goodness...I thought for sure she would follow m-!" She walked directly into the person she didn't want to see. She heard her voice ask, while she casually had her hands on her shoulders,
"Are you alright?" Mion took a minute to register before she felt herself blush. She backed away out of Shion's hold,
"W-what are you doing!" Shion showed a sign of confusion, but smirked a bit at her twin's tension. She walked forward as Mion continued walking backwards,
"What are you talking about? I'm just taking a walk. You're the one who walked into me. Is there something you wanted?" They both stopped in their walking, and Mion stuttered,
"N-no! W-what I mean is! Is! H-how did you get on this side!" Shion showed confusion,
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Mion rephrased it so it was easier to understand,
"You were just in the same bookstore I was in! So how did you get in front of me?"
"Oh, I just went out the back door and around the other way. How else would I have done it?" Mion blushed at the realization of how simple that should've been to figure out. Shion smiled gently,
"So, I see you bought a book." Mion pulled away as Shion reached for the book. She didn't want her to see that it was crumpled up, because then she'd ask why and figure out that she was thinking about her...Which is exactly what happened. Shion smirked when she saw that it was destroyed,
"Why would you buy a book you can't read, Onee?" Mion felt her heart sink,
"I-it's not like I WANTED to buy it!" She mentally smacked herself as she realized she was giving herself away.
"Then why did you buy it?"
"B-because I...I had to! That's why!" 'Dammit! I'm only making things worse for myself!'
"Why did you have to buy it?"
"B-because...Because...I damaged it...So I had to buy it..."
"Why would you damage a book you don't even want?"
"T-that's because...Because..." she felt her face turn a deep red.
"You were thinking about me?" Mion turned to run, but Shion grabbed her wrist. Mion yelled, not looking at her,
"Let me go! You wouldn't understand! I was getting aggrivated because I felt like you were stalking me, that's all!"
There was a moment of silence before Shion finally replied with something,
"I don't see why you try to lie to me. You're so easy to read." Mion blushed at this and yanked her arm away from Shion. Shion laughed,
"You know, you really can't judge a book by it's cover." "What do you mean?" Mion asked. Shion replied in her usual teasing voice,
"You act tough and boyish, but in reality you're so shy and timid." "So, what are you trying to say?" Mion asked harshly. Shion answered,
"If you and I ever got in bed together," she winked seductively, "I would be the one on top." Mion blushed furiously, whacked Shion across the face with her book, and stomped away without saying anything.
