Its been a busy few days, getting the school back in order after the horrible storms over the weekend. But the Seiyou Hero Club finally has a break and each of the girls goes their own way for a while. Fu has decided its time to go enjoy some food. She makes her way to Midori-ya for some sweets. Usually she'd go for Udon but, for some odd reason they are closed. It could have something to do with the four bowls she ate yesterday.
Standing in line at Midori-ya, Fu has her phone out and she is sending a text. Once done she slips her phone away and simply waits for the line to move.
The sweet smell of fresh baked breads and sweets is enough to drive her bonkers. "I am so bringing some of that bread home! Itsuki is totally going to miss out on it!" She giggles.
Foood. Usagi's using the excuse of 'my parents are totally relocated because our house is destroyed' to avoid going to school. She'll just go in a couple days and get her school work until something better comes to mind.
But now, she's at the cafe, totally in need of food! She's been a busy bee! (She was here not long ago with Kyouko, but that wasn't for dinner!)
Someone in front of her speaks out loud, and Usagi hums in thought. "The bread's really good. I like the pastries, though! Mmmm! And the drinks! And the burgers! And the soups! And all the food!"
A muffled meow from her purse.
Ug.
"Yeah, yeah, and the tuna."
Fu listens to Usagi go on about the food! "Oh I might have to try the Tuna then. I usually go for Udon but I am all for sweets! Care to join me for some stuff? My treat?" She offers politely.
"I'm Fu Inubouzaki. I'm a third year at Seiyou! I am the President of the Hero Club!" She beams with pride over that last part. "We go around helping people out where we can. We sometimes find homes for shelter animals. We put on plays for the elementry school. We even help out during emergencies like this past weekend."
She beams a little bit and looks over Usagi, "Oh I love your hair by the way! The bun look is super kawaii!" She beams a little. "How long have you been growing your hair out? To get it that long it must of taken really long. It took me a few years to get mine to where it is."
Usagi blinks for a moment. Then beams! Another happy person! And who is she to refuse food? "Sure! Thank you very much!"
A disgruntled meow from her purse. "Um, but I'll have to get the tuna sandwich as well. I can get that myself, though!"
"I'm in the eighth grade at Seishou! I don't belong to clubs because I get detention a lot! I didn't do a lot this past weekend except evacuate with my family!"
A snort from her purse. Usagi jostles it.
"Oh, thank you! I like your hair, too! I've been growing it out since I was tiny! Mama said if I kept it brushed and tidy, she won't make me get hair cuts. And voila!"
She holds out her hand. "Usagi Tsukino, niced to meet you!"
Fu Inubouzaki giggles a little and shakes Usagi's hand. Then there is that meow from her Purse. "Umm. I think your purse is hungry. I got it! Don't worry. My sister is out of town and the Hero Club is doing their own thing today so I don't have much to do anyway.
Finally Fu is up to order. She smiles and starts. "I'd like: one loaf of braided french bread, one loaf of poppy sead french bread, A dozen donuts, an order of tea, Three Eclairs, OooO! Those looks yummy, how about a few of those too! Oh and a tuna sandwich and, whatever Tsukino-san wants! Put that on my bill too!"
The Counter lady just looks, jaw dropped at Fu. She looks behind her for a group. There isn't one. Rather then argu she simply begins working on the order.
Usagi's jaw drops. Not at shock that someone can eat that much food, but at shock that someone else can eat that much food!
Before she can think twice, she's at the counter, too! "The same on everything but the bread and sandwich! Actually, maybe a loaf of sourdough! And hot cocoa instead of tea! Please!"
A disgruntled meow! Another hip jostle.
Usagi lowers her voice. "My purse is very fickle."
The counter lady looks like she may have just laid an egg or something. By now though she's starting to think its a joke. She rings up the cost and asks snidely, "How will you be paying for this, Miss?"
Fu cocks her head as Usagi orders the same thing. Oh this is going to be so much FUN! She gets out a card. Since her parents worked for the Taisha and their deaths were linked to one of their situations, The Taisha have been taking care of Fu and her sister. Slipping the card to the counter lady, her eyes go large. She bows and rings it up quick.
"Join me at a table?" She asks Usagi. Idly she makes her way over to an empty table in the corner of the building. They will bring the food out in time. Happily Fu takes a seat and gets comfortable. Getting out her phone she makes a text to someone. It simply reads -Treating a friend- And sends it off.
Usagi does not know what a Taisha is! Nor does she see anything weird about the card!
She happily joins Fu, setting her purse on the counter.
Then, she looks at Fu like she's about to share a Big Secret!
She slowly unzips the purse. "Don't come all the way out yet, not until our food comes."
Luna pokes her head out of the purse and looks up at Fu. "Meow!"
Fu Inubouzaki gets comfortable and smiles a little as Usagi does the same. "Sorry I had to let the people who look after my Sister and I financially know that I was the one making an order and my card hadn't been taken."
She gives a warm smile and then at the secretive look she simply nods and gestures that she can keep a secret. Then the cat is out of the bag!
"Awww She's adorable. Hello there." She states to the kitty. "Oh the moon mark is so cute! whats her name?"
Usagi shrugs. "That's okay! I'd probably be texting my boyfriend I'm okay if he wasn't...out of the country!" Yessss, that was the civilian excuse now!
If possible, the cat preens at the compliments. She even licks a paw. "Her name is Luna." A kitty ear scritch! "I scared her this weekend, so she's been sticking close. Even 'suffering the indiginty of being a purse pet!'" Luna's words, not hers! Speaking of! "Me-meow!"
"I think that was a thank you."
Fu Inubouzaki smiles happily. "I know a lot of people lost pets. The Hero Club has been helping out with the clean up and reuniting people after the chaos. That storm was insane." She doesn't go into the fact that she knows it was more then just a storm. She may not be an active Yusha but she is definitely slated to be one which means magic.
She reaches out cautiously. She doesn't want to be victim number 153.6 of an infamous Luna scratching. Cautiously she lets Luna smell her hand before attempting to pet her.
During the storm, The Hero Club was working at a shelter trying to keep people from being too scared and making sure everyone had a place to stay."
Usagi grins. "That's very helpful! I haven't done much with the clean up. But yes, that was a big...storm." Right! Civilians! "Almost supernaturally so!"
Luna bites Usagi's finger, so really, Fu's in danger of being victim 154.6. (The .6 was the attempted chomp on one of Mamoru's fingers. Usagi saved him.)
Then the cat sniffs the hand, decides the human followed correct Protocol, and rubs her nose against the fingers.
"Oh, a shelter? Nice! Mama and Papa are at an Aunty's right now. I'm staying with a friend."
Fu Inubouzaki smiles and gives gentle scritches to Luna before retreating to safety. "I wish I could have done more. We did all we could to help people out but it was just a really dark time."
Then the food is brought. They simply roll over a cart and let it sit for the two girls. "Well. I'm hungry!" She gets out the donuts first as well as her tea and begins going to work. "MMmmmmm This is so good! I can't believe I've not been here before."
She smiles over to Usagi, "So what did you do during the big storm. I hope everything was alright for you. No one got hurt or anything."
Fu Inubouzaki blinks. Well. That comment definitely got her attention. That is why the Taisha didn't call them. "There were people fighting, the storm I mean. Okay everything makes sense. i think."
Happily Fu takes a long sip of her tea before attacking some of her eclairs. "Oh wow! This is delicious! I wonder if Togo knows how to make these! I should ask her when I see her again! I bet she'd make them for the next Hero Club meeting!"
"This place is really nice. I've not come here before. Usually I frequent one of the udon shops because its my favorite food! But this place is awesome. I really like it!"
"Um, that's what I heard, at least." This time, an eclair gets stuffed in her mouth!
Then she shrugs! And swallows and sips cocoa! "I don't know! I think Mako-chan could. Oooo, I should ask her if she can..."
Muahahaha. Brilliant idea!
Her eyes widen! "I love udon! I don't eat it as much as I want, though! But it's tasty!"
Luna comes all the way out and defaces her sandwich. Then she starts (very delicately!) eating the tuna.
Fu Inubouzaki thinks quickly. Its times like this placing high on entrance exams comes in handy. She sets up several menus and uses them to block the view of the black cat. "There you go!" She states to Luna.
Then its off to her own Tuna sandwich which is completely delicious. "Oh wow! Luna you have very good taste!" She giggles a little bit and looks to Usagi, "We should have a competition! We could turn it into a full on thing. Maybe help with relief efforts after the storm?" She comments as she takes a sip of the tea.
Lune meows her thanks at the menus with her muzzle still to the tuna. Then she looks up and gives a meow in agreement! =^u^=
Usagi's eyebrows raise mid donut. It's her third one! "Oh? What kind of a competition?" A swallow! A drink of cocoa!
Fu Inubouzaki smiles a little and gives a little salute to Luna. Her attention goes back to Usagi. "We could do an eating contest?" She asks curiously. She states and then the ideas start rolling.
"We could open it up to people, eighteen and younger. Make sure everyone doing this is still in school. We can all get sponsors!The entrance fee would be a set amount. No time limit but the moment you can't leave any of the food anywhere. That will let people get up and move around but can't run off to the bathroom and stuff to cheat. Last person standing, gets a prize of some kind. The bulk of the money could go to helping people recover."
Fu smirks and finishes off her last yummy eclair then goes back to the donuts. "I am so going to be bouncing off the walls later!" She giggles. "Way too much sugar but it is soo yummy!"
Usagi's eyebrows rise in curiosity, and then her eyes light up! "An eating contest?!"
Finally! Something she has a chance of winning!
She straightens in her chair, a hand against her chest. "I have been preparing for this my whole life."
Then she hums and taps her chin! "But what sort of prize?"
Fu Inubouzaki hmms and thinks to herself a bit. She takes a long sip of her tea. "Well, We could talk to some of the local businesses and see if they would like donate prizes. It would get the community behind the repair the people a little more and help make things better.
"Of course with that we wouldn't know what the prize would be. That would make it more fun!" Fu smirks to Usagi, "Oh you have?" Suddenly she goes theatrical, "You have NO CHANCE AT DEFEATING THE SHADOW KING! I SHALL DEVOUR ALL THE FOOD BEFORE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO EAT IT! MUAHAHAHAHA!" With that she just starts giggling a little.
"This is going to be a lot of fun isn't it?"
She taps her chin some more! She's not perfect with logistics, but she likes Ideas! "There's a lot of shops not far from here. Then there's the shopping center. Then there's...well, there's a lot of places! And maybe some businesses like here to donate food! Bonus for them all? Free advertising! Well, technically not free, I guess, but still! And maybe something they could hang up. Like 'This establishment helped with the Great Eating Contest of '16!'"
At the theatrical display, there's a snort at the open faced sandwich. "We'll see."
Usagi clears her throat. "Anyway! When it comes to eating, Shadow King, I am...an artiste!"
Fu Inubouzaki smirks a little and nods, "We're going to do it then!" She gets out her phone and immediately sends a message to the Hero Club -I just met someone who actually can eat as much as me! You know what this means... 18 and under EATING CONTEST FOR CHARITY!!!! We will do it for relief efforts after the bad storms this weekend. I will compete in it! That is for certain!-
The message is sent and then she gets an even better idea. "OHhhh! Would you like to put a little wager on that Miss Usagi? Who ever lasts the longest in this eating contests gets to style the other's hair! How does that sound? So if you win, you get to do mine. If I win I get to do yours!" She snickers a little bit.
Suddenly her voices shifts back to the theatrical Shadow king!!! "A Challenge!!! A Challenge has been set before you Bun Headed Girl!!! Will You accept the Shadow King's challenge?!" She busts out laughing.
"Yay!" This is a cheer! She likes eating, and therefore eating contests!
She gets an evil glint in her eye before quickly turning serious. "Okay, but we agree, no cutting, dying, or otherwise permanently altering hair. If you accept those terms..."
Just as theatrical. "Then I, the Rabbit of the MOON do hereby ACCEPT your CHALLENGE! TO THE FIELD OF BATTLE!!!"
She sits back down and bites another donut. "When's it gonna be?"
Fu Inubouzaki smiles and nods, "Right. No Dying, No cutting, No permenant alterations. Just styling! I agree to these term!" She laughs and pulls out a donut to eat. By now half of that dozen is gone. She simply shrugs and enjoys it.
There is a smirk, "Then I, Moon Bunny, Shall see thee upon the chosen battle ground! We shall dine until we can't dine no more. So says the SHADOW KING!!! MUAHAHAAHAHA!"
With that she pulls out a loaf of french bread and holds it up like a sword in front of her face. Then with a downward salute she sends poppy seeds flying all over Luna. "OOps! Sorry Luna! I didn't mean to do that! You can't even see them!"
A firm, decisive nod! "Then we are in agreement!"
Luna, of course, protests greatly at the seeds. "Hey, watch it!" But of course, cats don't talk! Hahaha!
Once again, Usagi plays Distraction! She stands, finger pointing to the ceiling! "And when I stand victorious before you, you will know that none in the world, nay, the GALAXY, can match my stomach! So says ME! MWEEEEEHEEEHEEEEEE I gotta work on my evil laugh."
Fu Inubouzaki laughs and begins working through her apps. Finally she brings up a calander and begins looking it over. "How about This weekend? Kind of short notice but it would get money out quicker. Or we could go next weekend! That would work better I think."
Then... What? "Did she just?" She gives a curious look. Great now she's hearing things. What was in those Eclairs! She would check but she ate em all. She eyes Luna curiously. "This Kitty is up to something!" She states playfully not meaning much of anything.
Finally she listens and then just laughs at Usagi as she goes off on her own evil Tirade. "THE KINGDOM OF THE MOON WILL REGRET EVER CROSSING THE DINNER TABLE OF THE SHADOW EMPIRE!" SHe goes off in her voice.
A waitress walks over and speaks up, "Umm, some people are complaining that you are being loud. Could you please keep it down?" He then looks, "Is that a cat?!"
Fu just shakes her head, "No of course not. She's the cutest plushie ever!"
Hmmm. "Weekend after this, I think! People probably want to spend this weekend snuggling their families!" No, no sad sigh from Usagi. Maybe a little. She misses her Mama.
Luna freezes and stares at Fu for a moment. Then kitty blinks. Then...licks her hindquarters to prove she's a normal cat!
Usagi, of course, is mortified! "Luna, not on the table!"
Wait, what? Moon kingdom! How did she KNOW?! "PFFF hah what? Moon Kingdom? What's that? Pffff! I've never heard of it! PFFFFFF!!! Moon Kingdom! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA"
Ooops, chastised by the waiter!
And then gulp! But wait! Saved!
"The cutest plushie ever! And if you press the button, she says cute phrases!" She lightly presses between Luna's shoulder blades.
"I love you meowy much!"
Poor Luna's dignity....
Fu Laughs a little as Usagi follows up with the whol cute thing but then her eyes go wide. She knows the cat is a normal cat. There is no hiding that fact. It was just licking it's butt! But, where did that voice come from! Unless Usagi is some sort of Ventriloquist, there is no way she said that. As the waitress walks away looking more confused then ever, Fu just looks between Usagi and Luna. The whole outburst about the moon kingdom doesn't help matters. She sighs and her voice goes quiet. "You've clearly got secrets and thats cool. I won't pry. I know more is going on then meets the eye here though. I'm not a complete fool. Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone. I've got my own secrets that I'm trying to keep hidden. Maybe we are in the same boat?" She shrugs and returns to her tea for the moment.
Fu nods, "Next week then! We shall hold the amazing Pig out!" She exclaims happily as she finishes off her sandwich. She just smiles a little and leans back in her seat.
"So I guess there is just one final question. How should I style your hair after I win!"
Luna sighs. "Thank you. With her track record, you may very well find out next week." Tuna nomming!
"Oh yes! And you better bring your best, because I will not eat that morning -- wait maybe a little something to tide me over I'm a growing girl! -- so I will be a bottomless pit."
Then she leans forward! Devilish gleam! "Well, I'm fond of elaborate braids, but don't you mean the other way around?"
"Don't worry I'm not going to say anything Luna." She whispers to the cat and then turns her attention Usagi. She snickers and stretches.
"Whilst I will be engaging in a rigorous training regiment designed to stretch my stomach nice and big so I will have a bottomless pit and two hollow legs! There is no way you shall defeat me!" She exclaims happily.
Then Fu's accent shifts a little to sound more Irish then anything, "Meanwhile I am thinking elaborate Celtic braids with flowers stuck all throughout. That would be rather delightful in my opinion."
