Thank you, Tiamat! *puts away his soulsucker* ^_^:;;;
Hm...I'll have to make that for ya, Urban. Just for kicks. ^^
Okay, double update here, cause they were both written pretty quickly.
Scenes 9 and 10, comin at ya!
***
Kari could hear her brother behind her as she weaved her way through a forest of legs, and could hear, even louder, the grumblings and whinings of the people the poor boy was pushing past. She couldn't see much from where she was, but she knew where she was going. It wasn't her first time in this park.
An especially hairy knee bulged in her vision, and Kari jerked away from it, barely avoiding having her nose knocked in. She laid a slap on the side of the person's thigh then slid away before the slapee decided to return the favor.
"KARI!"
Grinning, she brushed her short brown hair away from her eyes and kept moving, knowing it was around here somewhere, somewhere...
"KARI!"
She stuck the fleshy edge of her palm in her mouth and bit down on it lightly, her mouth grinning around her teeth. She ducked between a pair of slacks and two very shapely legs as she tried to keep herself from giggling madly with anticipation. She nearly shook with the force her contained chortles, which threatened to burst from her like frenzied atomic particles.
"KARI!"
*Uh-oh*. Tai was getting closer. She squeezed between a two pairs of legs that were exceptionally close--were, in fact, rubbing against one another. She glanced up as she literally passed through, and grinned as she saw it was a kissing couple. Then she realized that both were men, blinked, and continued her trek through the tangle of limbs, ignoring the cries of anger that came from above whenever she happened to trod upon a toe or two.
"KARI, COME BACK HERE!"
*Sheesh, he's *close* all of a sudden...when did *that* happen?* Kari thought as she edged around a giggle of girls with ice cream cones, making "eh..." noises as drops of cream slid off the scoops and descended through the air, passing dangerously close to her.
She stepped out of the forest and into the free air, and sighed happily.
All was going to plan...
***
Tai's struggles through the throng were infuriating and embarrassing on an infinite amount of levels. The most basic of these were gathered in a simple triad: irritation at his sister for just running off like that, infuriation at the people congesting this part of park, and embarrassment from being laughed at by the aforementioned people. The disgustingly cute stuffed animal in his arms was the source for that laughter. Tai desperately wanted to just toss the thing into the air and run from it as fast as he could, but he knew the consequences. He didn't like to see that look on Kari's face; it made him feel as though he was the biggest dick in the universe.
Someone chuckled behind him, and Tai blushed. He did his best to ignore it, though, and continued to push his way through.
Suddenly his hand flailed into open air, and he stumbled out of the crowd and into a concrete clearing--and right into his sister.
"Kari! There you are!" He put a hand on her shoulder, hoping it would prevent her from dashing away again. "Don't ever do that a--" He blinked, and opened and closed his hand. Nothing. She was gone. "--gain." He scowled, his eyes drooping half-closed and his shoulders slumping. "..."
He was glad to see that, this time, she hadn't gone too far. The pizza vendor--just a little metal rolling cart with a canopy, and a little menu clipped to one support rod--was maybe twelve feet away. The guy behind it wore a burgundy red apron and a lot of even redder pimples, each of which gleamed nastily in the sun. He grinned at Kari when she poked her head over the top of the cart, her eyes travelling across the three pies that laid on the surface, trails of steam rising up from them. As Tai neared the cart, he noticed that the guy's teeth were chained with bright silver braces.
"What can I get you?" the guy asked. His voice was surprisingly deep and solid. It was a voice that didn't seem to belong in the body it inhabited.
Kari eyed each pie, then pointed at the middle one.
"Pepperoni it is, then." He slipped a slice from its place in the pizza and onto a flimsy paper plate, the bottom of which was immediately soaked with grease. He handed this to Kari, who took it with both hands.
The guy--no more than a kid, really--glanced up at Tai and grinned again. "And for you?"
"Um..." Tai examined his options. "Sausage."
"Gotcha." He got the slice and gave it to Tai, grinning ceaselessly.
Tai noted that, while the smile never shifted, the guy's eyes slipped down to the bear, widened slightly, then returned all-too-quickly to Tai's face. He felt irritation begin to tickle at his brain, but did his best to shake it off and grin back at the guy. "Thanks. How much do I owe you?"
The guy told him, and Tai stuffed the bear into his armpit and reached into his pocket--
"Why thank you, little lady."
Tai blinked as Kari passed the vendor some bills, who in turn passed her her change. She grinned innocently at him and tilted her head to the right. "Let's go sit down."
Tai nodded. He wanted to put this stupid bear down, and *quick*.
"Let's go."

Okay, okay, okay.
*sits down and thinks seriously*
Did you guys enjoy? Or no?
*hopes they eat pizza commonly in Japan*
