Fellblades

Chapter 9

They are alot of other kids. A chubby kid with brown hair and red cheeks his face so swollen you couldn't even make out his eyes if you wanted to, his gut to big for the white t-shirt with a cat face drawing stretching it beyond it's size capacity, he is also wearing a pair of black shorts and is holding a bag of chips he slowly walks up to them quickly stuffing his mouth with chips as though he was afraid the chips would disappear savagely munching away without a worry.

 He starts talking inaudibly between bites, shizuru gazing at him absentmindedly while chiki mind drifts off as he surveys the room, His gaze settling on a girl in a hooded robe and a short white floral grown with a pair of black shoes and white socks she is sitting on a huge chair beside the empty chimney. She has mana he notices a little wisp of it gently lingering on her skin practically invisible to the untrained eyes (well my eyes are trained :P) and he thought he was special in this worlds standards.

 He sighs and looks at the chubby whom still hasn't noticed they weren't paying attention neither finding it odd that none of them have spoken a word since he started talking, shizuru just staring at him as he chatters away.

" I'm going to be really powerful mage, mum says i have so much potential." The fatty says.

" That's why everyone is always trying to be with me, so just call me big bro before then" He continues to brag.

 " Dang i'm almost out of chips, i better get more. mum says i have to eat lots so i could get strong faster." He says before slowly walking.

 Dragging his chubby frame away.

" Heck looking at him from behind he kinda looks like a huge dumpling." Shiki says laughing at his own joke.

 He pokes shizuru with his elbow as he laughs saying dumpling but still doesn't get a reaction.

" Yeesh, what a buzz kill." he mumurs to himself.

" Well i'll talk to you." He awkwardly adds as an after thought.

 Then slowly walks away, He turns around and see's the fatty is back with another bag of chips

" Were is the other guy?." He asks.

" Anyways no need to worry you still have me, I'll help you friend your friend." He proclaims while tapping his fat chest.

" Friend." Shizuru absentmindedly says. 

" Yes friend." Fatty agrees, then continue's blabbing like no tomorrow about all he has and is going to achieve, shizuru still staring at him with a blank face.

 Chiki walk around casually scanning the room, while the other kids gather in groups to play and exchange stories.

" I need to find a way out of here." He murmurs to himself.

 He checks everywhere but there's only one door which is were they came in, he walks towards the chimney and pokes his head in it, it is pitch black with light at the end. Then tries to determine if he could climb out of it. It is possible he concludes, but then he notices the black sooth on his hands then realizes he'll be covered from head to toe if he tries it.

 An image of his mothers scary face if she see's him covered in sooth surfaces on his mind practically sending chills down his spine, he immediately gives up on the idea and falls on his butt then starts to sulks.

 The little girl notices his weird movement up until he gives up on the idea and falls on his bottom.

" I can sit here right?." He absentmindedly asks to her.

" Su-sure why not." She's caught off guard by his straightfowardness.

" I just realized something why even ask for permission if I'm already sitting." He says casually chuckling to himself.

 Come On talk to him, this is your chance to make real friends, God my mind is blank, what should i do now.

" He-hello." she unexpectedly says stammering a bit.

 He slowly turns and scans her, His beautiful ruby like eyes gazing at her like they could see through every single little thing about her, like all her secret have no were left to hide.

" Nice to meet you." He casually waves at her, his hands still covered in sooth.

" Your hands." She hurriedly says.

" Oh i forgot about this." He looks at his hand then says.

" What should i do about this?." He continues, trying to dust hands by rubbing them together but it doesn't help.

" Here use this." She hurriedly says, while handing him a white handkerchief.

 " Ohh thank you." He politely accepts it, then uses it to clean his palms.

 And is about to pass the handkerchief back, When he hears the fatty's voice yelling

" Bro bro!!." The fatty yells.

  As he hops over dragging shizuru along whose face of eternal dissatisfaction is pretty much a normal spectacle at this point. He makes it but is already out of breath, He pauses a bit to catch his breath, breathing like he just ran in a day long marathon.

" Bro i was searching all over for you, you had me worried sick." The fatty manages to say

 Since when were we bros though, chiki thinks to himself.

" But who is she, you didn't tell me you had a girlfriend?." He says

 She immediately sits up obviously a bit flustered by his statement.

 Chiki smacks himself on his face, there he goes again starting and ending conversations all by himself.

" What's your name sister in law." He smiles displaying a surprisingly fine row of white teeths.

" Uhm uhm." She stammers lost of words at the change of events.

" For starters she isn't my girlfriend, you can't just go around concluding things it doesn't work that way." Chiki tells him while massaging his forehead.

" No bro you don't have to be shy." Fatty says reassuringly.

" She isn't my girlfriend we literally just met." Chiki shouts at fatty, frustration on his face now.

" Girlfriend." Shizuru says.

 Chiki stares at him in shock, so he talks.
