[Color=92278f]”I’m sorry, but they don’t serve alcohol here.”[/color]

No. No! If they didn't serve alcohol here, then... lord, no! Koi could already sense her mother's mood as it twisted from drunken happiness to one less than pleasant. Her mother's wrath fell short only to a Dark Lord, and Koi knew, oh how she knew, she would be the victim of such abuse. Though, she quickly sensed a switch in her mother's mood... Confusion? And slight amusement, apparently caused by the 'ninja' who had appeared behind the two of them. [color=92278f]”From the shadows, always watching and gathering information. Ready to strike. Rose Ninja E-“[/color]

“Eri! Get out of here! I’m dealing with enough as it is, I don’t need you burning my carpet with your smoke bombs!”

Both Koi and her mother were rather awestruck by the situation which, needless to say, didn't happen often. Even as the smoke bombs caught fire to the stray napkin and the smoke alarms began soaking the two, Koi could sense only mild levels of resent amidst her general confusion and amusement. Koi breathed a sigh of relief. [i]'The Divine Demon Lord has spared me a night of suffering...'[/i] She thought, still plain-faced and expressionless.

The two were lead outside until the smoke alarms finally stopped sprinkling. Koi, like the many others in the restaurant at the time, was relatively soaked. She'd been through worse, though. Her mother was insanely interested in this "special offer" that the chef had proposed, and was more than willing to get her money's worth of free food. She was paying no attention to her daughter, who shuffled her way out of the crowd back into the restaurant. The smoke alarms were no longer spraying the place with water, but there was quite a lot of water. The teen had grown used to navigating watery surfaces with her dress and heels, though, so it wasn't a big deal for her. 

[Color=92278f]“Hey, you’re from that paranormal club right? I’ve got something to ask you about this new kid that came to town. I’ll send for you tomorrow.”[/color] The ninja's appearance caused such a disturbance in Koi's melancholy that she visibly flinched, however before she could get a word out, the teen was gone. Someone was interested in the occult? It would far more likely be a prank, but if it wasn't, it would at least prove interesting to see who this person was. Despite denying it as trickery of a fool, the young Maki-Maki girl secretly hoped the ninja's proposition would bear fruit. 

[i]'Peh... Hope is for the light...'[/i] Thought Koi bitterly.
