"Give it to meeee~"
Shizuku pressed her face against the glass once more, fingers flexing. Her brown eyes were watery, her face contorted into the most pathetic display ever. She stared endlessly into the video game shop, eyeing the new Endless Destiny II release--her MMO had gotten an upgrade that the girl hadn't deemed important--and now didn't have the money to buy it, once she had learned that the release was indeed fairly important. She had already bought several other games this week, and if she wanted to eat, she couldn't buy another.
"I waaaaannnnt iiiiiiiiiiitttt~"
The store manager shot her a glare, and the girl was smart enough to take that as her cue to leave. Dejected, she pushed away from the glass and trudged off, depressed. But I've got to have it--oh, why didn't I just pre-order it?! she sniffled a little, her stomach reminding her she needed food in her system if she didn't want to starve.
Mission completely FAILED. Stupid stupid stupid whhhyyyy~ she thought, trudging off to one of those small places--maybe a cookie would make her feel better. Or some coffee. Or something.

"Shizuku-chan?" Kouin's voice pipped up as she spotted the girl. She blinked a little, seeing that the girl didn't seem to hear her the first time she called, and stood up, grabbing her bag and hurrying after the girl.
"Shizuku-chan!" She called out, louder this time. "Wait u-ahhh!" The bubblegum haired girl found herself tripping on thin air, her face meeting with the shopping mall floor. Her purchase, what appeared to be a somewhat... rather creepy looking plush monkey slid across the floor in front of her, until it contacted with Shizuku's foot.
"Uwaaa~ That hurt."

I can't believe I just didn't pre-order it or something, stupid stupid stupid stupid-- Shizuku scolded herself as she now toted a bag from one of those cookie places. She stopped, realizing someone was calling her. "Mmmphhh?" she replied, cookie in mouth, as she turned around. Something soft collided with her foot, as she looked down, then recoiled a little.
A...cursed item? she thought, for once at a loss for words, staring at the creepy monkey plush thing, which was face up at her, its stare creepy, to say the least. Biting down, she chewed for a moment, then realized someone was talking. Swallowing, she picked up the creepy monkey, walking over to the bubblegum haired Kouin.
"I take it this guy's yours, Kou-chan?" she asked, tilting her head to the side.

"Ah, yeah!" Kouin told her, pulling herself to her feet. "That's mine. I just bought him!" She said chipperly, grinning widely.
"Isn't he the cutest thing ever?" She asked, then titled her head to the side a bit. "I got a discount on him too... for some reason the owner said they weren't selling very well."
"Well, thank you for picking him up, Shizuku-chan!" The petite girl said gratefully, taking the odd plush creature out of her hands and gave it a squeeze. "What are you doing here, Shizuku-chan?" She inquired, looking up at her. "You look kind of down."

Shizuku blinked, utterly boggled by the fact that Kouin thought the monkey was actually cute. It looks like it's going to steal your soul... she thought, taking another bite out of her cookie.
When Kouin asked if she was doing all right, Shizuku sighed, looking even more depressed than before. "It's so horrible! I didn't think that Endless Destiny II was going to be any good, any now it's out--and I can't buy it!" she flailed a little, sniffling. "My money's pretty much done for, but I reaaaaallllllly want it..." she shook her head, still kind of sad.
"The shopkeeper NPC won't let me put it on layaway either...says it's too popular and all..." Grumbling, she threw her hands up in the air. "Bah! Bah to them, I say!" After a moment, she looked over at Kouin. "What brings you here, anyways? Your bro's not with you either...that's kinda strange." Shopping with his moemoe sister would definitely gain some points with her--maybe he's not shooting for her path right now?

She felt energised, meeting up with Katsumi seemed like a dream. There was definatly more to the girl then what met the eyes. She had woken up today and looked up Katsumi's band online. She really had wanted to get in touch with her, but she had failed to get the other girl's number. Raion kicked herself for being such a flake and running out like she did. So she looked up the band and found a few places where they would be playing. Finding the older girl at those spots would be a strike out since Raion was too young. So she decided to take a different approach. This is what brought her to the mall; where else go, but to a place that attracts hundreds of people like a carcass does flies. There was a pretty popular music store in the shopping center. According to the internet it was the place to go for all your musical needs. So Raion found a spot and sat outside the store just wishing Katsumi would go there. As she sat and waited she heard a high pitched echoing coming from some place. She looked up to see people among people among people walking back and forth. Like streams of noisy wind or water or something. She was looking at the people when something bright caught her eye. It was a mop of pink hair, and near her was another girl. All in all nothing out of the ordinary, in fact it was all pretty dull. If these people really had any brains they would spend less time shopping for matreial junk, and more time making themselves smarter.
Ugh what a waste of space, this place is. Raion though.
She rolled her good eye and continued to look around for Katsumi. Her eye kept getting drug back to the pink hair and her companion.

"Awww~ That really stinks, Shizuku-chan." Kouin looked at her sympathetically, though she had no idea what this Endless Destiny thing was. "I'm sure it will still be around later when you have the money for it!" She offered, grinning at her. "It's not like it's going to go anywhere."
"Ah, Yuki?" She asked, tucking her creepy monkey plushie back into her bag. "He's on a date with his girlfriend." The bubblegum haired girl grinned widely as she said that, a mischievous glimmer in her eyes. "She invited him to a picnic today."

"But it's so much easier to get it when it comes out...I'm going to totally regret this--everyone's gonna be all leveled up and shiny, while I have to trudge around for experience...." Shizuku grumbled, then sighed, talking about it wasn't going to get it done any faster.
When Kouin mentioned a girlfriend though, all of the raven-haired girl's depression vanished. "Hee, I knew he had a crush on someone!" she said cheerfully, her own eyes just as mischievious as Kouin's. "I was worried he was BL for a second...guess I was wrong." she shook her head, looking over at the small girl, eager for some kind of information. "So, so? What's she like? You've had to have met her at least once, ne?"
Let's see...childhood friend? The classmate? The best friend? The tsundere? she wondered. Imouto's out of the question--unless they're not actually related? Her eyes glinted a little. Ufufufu, the plot thickens~!

"Well, just think of how shiny and new it will be to you while to everyone else it's the same old, same old!" Kouin tried to reassure her, but didn't know if what she was saying would help- or if it would even make sense.
"He does!" She grinned happily. "She's really cute too, and very sweet! We're close friends, the two of us!" She announced happily. Upon the mention of BL, however, Kouin tilted her head.
"Oh no, Yuki-nii isn't gay, that's for certain. I can't say as much for some of his friends though." She thought, thinking of Shinkirou. Despite his declared love for women, she couldn't help but think that in his heart, Shinkirou wanted only a man. "Even if they deny it."

"Hmm, she sounds like a catch!" Shizuku said, eyes twinkling. "And you're friends with her, huh? How nice! I bet she's got nothing on you, though, Kou-chan." she patted the shorter girl's head. "You're the epitome of moe!" she told her.
"Is that so? It's just surprising, him not having a girlfriend--tanned angsty looking boys tend to be pretty popular with the ladies--eh, might have something to do with that rumor though..." she shrugged.
She pondered for a moment. I wonder... "Are you happy for him, since he seems to have found someone? You seem to be pretty close and all..." she glanced down at the pink haired girl, Ufufufu, maybe I can try to trigger some scenario for later! she thought slyly.

This was silly there would be no way someone like Katsumi would be caught DEAD in a stupid place like the mall. Raion got up ready to leave this dumb place; she really was no fan of the mall. She walked away from her sitting spot sighing miserably; she hung her head and started in the direction of the entrance she had come through. She started to pass by Kouin and Shizuku; that pair were clucking like hens about something or other. Who cared but there was something about the pink haired girl was making her skin crawl. Maybe it was the hair color; it looked like a mop of cotten candy had alighed on her head. The other girl was rather common looking so Rai thought nothing of her. That was until some people in a just pushed her. Rai stumbled into Shizuku hitting the taller girl's arm with most of her body.
"Oh um sorry about that." Rai said.
Rai looked back at the group that had hit her; no doubt they were from the high school, and they were just being normal jerks.

Kastumi was walking through the mall, grinning as usual. She had a stack of fliers under her arm that she planned on dropping off at the music store to try and get more people out to see the band. She had been thinking a bit about the Raion girl she had met at the arcade as well, but having no way to contact the young thing, Katsumi decided to just continue on and maybe they would run into each other again.
Of course this was a mall, and Raion didn't strike Katsumi to be the type to visit a place like this.
As she walked around, she happened to overhear a comotion of sorts across the large hallway. Glancing back, she saw a couple of kids who looked to be about to pick on some girl. It only took a brief moment for Katsumi to recognise Raion as the young victim.
"Oh, we'll see about that." Katsumi muttered, her smirk gone as she walked over towards the harassers, coming up behind them. She noticed Raion didn't seem to be getting ready to knock out the little punks. Luckily Katsumi wasn't so inhibited. Placing her fliers on a bench on the way, she had her hands free to grab two of the little punks by the scruff of their shirts and shove them away and to the floor.
"What's your problem? You want to pick on someone, I'm game." She threatened, clearly pissed, but excited nonetheless. Even if these kids were several years younger than her, she would still help her friend. Besides, if they ever came to her show, she would have them kicked out, so there was future joy in this as well.
When none of the replied, Katsumi put her attention to Raion.
"You alright? Or should I beat them up a little." She asked, grinning.

"Eh, moe?" Kouin blinked, her face turning red at the mention of the word. "Shizuku-chan, you say some pretty strange things some times..." She put her fingers together, twiddling them a bit.
"Of course I'm happy for him!" She, however, smiled brightly at Shizuku upon the mention of a possible girlfriend for her brother. "He's been looking for one for a long time now. It would be great if it could all work out!"
It was then that the young girl bumped into Shizuku, which started the petite girl somewhat. "Ah! Are you alright?" She asked, sounding concerned as she reached out, trying to help the white haired girl get to her feet. "Here."
She felt a pang of depression noting the fact that they were about the same size- and the girl here appeared to be no older than twelve, at least. It really wasn't fair that she was the same height as children! She was fifteen years old already! Even Kyoutei had mistaken her for a middle schooler when they first met, and she had a feeling that Arashi-senpai thought she was even younger.

"Ahh, but are you sure, Kou-chan--?" Shizuku stopped midsentence as a white-haired girl ran into her. As Kouin asked if the girl was all right, Shizuku felt herself twitch. Aggghh! I was going to do so well with this scenario and then this...this KID shows up out of nowhere! Now I have to start all over! she thought, biting back a curse. She gazed over at Kouin and the white haired girl, blinking a little.
Kou-chan is older and all, but she's even shorter than old-lady hair girl. And... she paused a little, her brows furrowing. ...I thought all kids were supposed to be cute. Of course, anyone would pale in comparison to Kou-chan, but still... she frowned a little, realizing this old-lady hair kid felt a little...familiar. They hadn't met before, or at least she hoped they hadn't, but something about her made the two feel connected.
Weird, ahh, so weird! she thought, reminded of how the same thing had happened when she met Yuuko and Yukina. When some J-Rocker chick came over, the girl felt the same sensation, though it was considerably weaker.
She then realized the old-lady hair girl had apologized to her. "Mm, it's all right, it's all right!" she replied as she waved dismissively. Glancing over at the J-Rocker girl, she glanced between her and the white haired kid. "You two friends?" she asked.

People were laughing around her when she had fell. When she recovered her balance she was looking into a pair of pretty sapphire fire eyes, and amazingly they were eye level with her. Usually everyone was so much taller then her like WAY taller.
"UM yes, uh thanks I am...OK." she said.
It was very embarressing to be pushed around so much in public. Rai's face went from pale to pink and then red in second. SHe looked away from Kouin even though it was pretty interesting to be looking at someone eye to eye. She then saw Katsumi and was highly relieved. Actually she wanted to beat the kids herself, she wondered if Katsumi would help her to become tougher.
"UMmmm no...Um I guess...uh leave them." She said.
She looked at Katsumi and then at Kouin and Shizuku.
"UM yea...we're friends." She said.
