Mana

Mana managed to hold back her voice. If anything, she mostly just had an anxiety attack of some sort. Her heart and brain were racing. There was a small gurgling feeling in her stomach but it quickly dissipated. She put her palms on the nice fake granite counter-tops and peered at the messy reflection of herself in the mirror. She didn't look good at all. There was a sickly look about her even beyond the heavy breaths she took. She swallowed hard and turned the water on. Luckily it wasn't one of those places that had a hand sensor for the water. She bent over the bowl of the sink and used her hands to splash water on her face. It hit and hit her hair some and the shoulders of her cloths. "Come on, Mana... You need to grown up. She didn't even say anything that bad." She shrunk back at her own words and bit her lip before quickly splashing her face again.

Then Suzuka entered. Mana stiffened when she heard the door and slowly turned her head toward the servant. When she saw who it was, rather than seem happy or joyous, she seemed... Worried or apologetic. "O-oh... H-hi... Suzuka." The girl mentioned before looking at the mirror and hitting both sides of her cheeks as if trying to wake herself up and looking back. "I..." She struggled to continue and slightly turned her head so she didn't look Suzuka in the eyes. "I'm sorry I'm not a master you can really be proud of."

Mana

Mana was expecting a sharp remark from Suzuka but instead she felt a sharp gaze at the back of her head. She took a small peak back at the odd servant? girl. She could definitely hear her... Master who could keep up? Master who isn't a sitting duck? Was... Was she being called out by some servant she never knew? That... That was the sort of thing she was worried about happening at school. People talking about her like this. She just thought if she kept to herself nothing like this would happen. She shivered a little bit. For a second, it was difficult to breath. She opened her mouth to speak but.... Nothing. This took Mana by surprise and she worked to push some words out.

".... I..." She managed to push out, "I-I.... B-bathroom." She mentioned, her hands shaking a small bit, though apparently enough to make her drop the clothes. Some onto Suzuka's arm and the rest on to the floor. The girl bit her lower lip and passed by Suzuka. If the fox was keen enough, she'd notice a small tear forming at the corner of her master's eye. She made a straight shot for the bathroom, head tilted down. She cut someone off as they were entering the store, not bothering to apologize or not noticing. Soon enough, she disappeared into the woman's restroom.

Hasshaku-sama sounded familiar! Or, the story did. Mugi was pretty much happy with herself! But... Lure her out? Other than a kid she might like or something? She had no idea. In fact, this isn't what she imagined she'd be doing with this club in the first place... Though... What was she expecting really? She didn't know. Another thing she didn't exactly expect was the spider pulling her close and then something poking her butt.

She was still in a partial fight or flight mental state and jumped away when she felt that something poke her butt. "Yaaah!!" Mugi screamed as she jumped forward and landed next to the fox girl and wrapped her arms around Asahi's. "W-w-w-what was that!?" The Yuki-Onna questioned, looking back at her friend who didn't seem to move. "S-s-spider-legs?" She questioned, looking the girl up and down. Was that the type of Youkai Kaori was? Wait, was it a spider leg that poked her? She tightened her grip on the fox's and realized she did it not long after. "Ah! S-sorry... Ummm.... M-my apologies!" She stuttered out finally, not seeming to let go of the fox's arm.

Mana

"My Otaku goods aren't cringy!" Mana replied in a slight bit of irritation. "A-and I'm not a JK!" She complained. This was anything but an ideal situation for her. She stuttered a few indications of disapproval to the fox but of course it didn't help her one way or another. The price tags... Left her in utter shock as she looked in Suzuka's direction to avoid the prices. What could she get for those instead!? Way too much! "S-suzuka! I d-don't think..." She was trying to interrupt the fox but noticed she got distracted by... Another servant? Mana wanted to say that she looked too odd not to be, but... In a city of mages, it took all types.

Then Suzuka started to talk again and piling clothes in her arms. Expensive, expensive, expensive!? Why did she pick so much expensive stuff!? And those jeans were torn!? Why were they so expensive?! Out of the things Suzuka picked, the Sundress was the best and that was only because the other two were torn pants and a school uniform! She already had one of those at home that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Mana was not sure about what to say at all. Her mouth just stuttered a bit, trying to figure out the words she attempted to use. "S-suzuka...!" She akwardly managed to voice. "T-those jeans already have holes in them! W-why would I wear pants that are beyond frayed!? A-and I already have a school uniform!" She managed, keenly ignoring to comment on the sundress as she had nothing to complain about besides price and she was pretty sure her Black Card was forfeit at this point.

Mana

Mana had finally calmed down and was having a normal breathing pattern. Then... "Ehh? Blow this joint?" The girl questioned before she was pulled by a rather powerful fox. "E-EEEEEHHHHH?!" Mana exclaimed as she was pulled through the streets. "S-Suzuka!?" Where was the fox taking her!? S-somewhere.... Well... What was this building!? A... Boutique? Clothing store? She mentioned a salon earlier, right? This didn't seem like one at least.

Inside, it was definitely a clothing store. This was just them running... So Suzuka's words seemed to say. "Uummm, so, we're... Hiding from that bird girl?" Mana asked, trying to get her wrist free from her Fox Servant. "In a clothing store that I don't think I can afford the clothing?" The girl questioned as she was forced inside. Just the slight glimpse of the price made her want to throw up in her mouth a little. What all could she buy for that price? Way too much. A lot of hamburgers... Manga.... Collectables... She really hoped Suzuka wouldn't force her to buy something.

Mugi was practically hiding behind Kaori still, somewhat feeling safer due to her words of protection. She skitted her eyes over everyone present. The... G-ghost.... Tomoko.... Kaori, Abe, Mikoto, Asahi... ahh, then there was the other youkai doing the same thing she was. Her vision laid on the Oni for a couple of seconds before darting to the ghost-girl and carefully studying her. She didn't seem to be as scary as when she first appeared... She didn't seem to be one of those "poltergeists" that the Elder told her a scary story about one time. They made houses implode into other dimensions! How terrifying! Could even a youkai combat that!? How scary was America if that was something that happened!?

Mugi calmed her thoughts a bit. No, this ghost didn't seem to make portals to other realms or dimensions so it was most probably safe to talk to her. Still, her grip on Kaori tightened slightly. The spider would feel a stronger cold on her arm as the Yuki-Onna pulled closer, listening to the Kaori's question.

Mugi's head was wracking. This story seemed familiar to her somehow. It was... Hmmm... Something.... Something.... She swallowed hard and pulled forward a head of Kaori a slight bit to ask her own question. "O-o-oh! A-and! Question! Question!" Mugi stated as if asking for permission like she learned she needed to have in school. Still, she didn't wait long as she gave just long enough to take a breath. "Did the woman say anything!?" She exclaimed, nervous talking to a ghost like this.

Nothing seemed natural about calling the spirit of the dead! But... Well... She wasn't exactly normal to humans was she? Mugi pondered it as she climbed off of the spider and stood. Mugi stood strong. S-she wouldn't be scared of such a thing. She looked tough, though her legs said otherwise as they were shaking slightly. At Tomoko's insistence they go, the Yuki-Onna swallowed. "Y-yea! G-ghosts are... not scary...?" She didn't seem very convinced. Still... Tomoko seemed to go so she... joined. To her own dismay.

---

Rain didn't seem to bother her much at all. It froze before it touched her and she just used her power to push it aside to hit the ground where it would quickly melt back into it's liquid for. She was just lucky there was hardly anyone in this side of town. Either way, the rain made it feel cooler for her, so it felt nice. As they approached the playground, Mugi seemed somewhat confused. This wasn't what she expected from a "Ghost Story". She put a finger to her lips in thoughts. "Hmm, a... What? Playground?" She asked aloud to the few people near her.

She just stood and watched with ostensible courage. Swallowing with her knees quivering, she stood and tried to fight her fears. Tomoko did some motions, this and that... Then she stopped! Mugi braced herself for... Something. But it seemed... Like there was nothing? How odd? She relaxed for a second and started to ask, "Did it not...?" She came to a slow stop as she saw... something move from the corner of her eye.

A girl. A dead seeming girl! Every instinct told her she shouldn't... But... Then backpedaled. She gave out a frightened scream one would expect from a teen girl watching a scary movie, "GYEEEEEHHH!?" Mugi's body instinctively reached for the nearest body which just so happened to be the spider girl. Her arms went around Kaori's arm tightly and hid behind her practically shaking like some sort of turned on machine.

Despite the ghost becoming a more normal human form, Mugi still hid from her, expecting some monsterous transformation to bite all of their heads off. It was nowhere rational, of course but what did she really expect? "G-g-g-g-g-ghost..." She meekly whispered.

Mana

Mana was not quite satisfied by Suzuka's comment but she didn't really have time to complain before she heard a smack and say Suzuka fall into her chest. "Uwawawa!" Mana exclaimed as she caught the corpse body falling into her and falling onto her butt. "Uwawawa! S-suzuka! Are you okay?!" She wasn't sure what to do, so she hugged the fox tightly.

When Suzuka regained consciousness, Mana hugged onto her tightly. She started to tear at the eyes a small bit while the fox spoke her mind. "Suzuka!" The girl cried out, almost practically strangling her servant as she closed her arms around the fox's neck and started to swing her back and forth. "I thought the bird girl killed you!" It was most likely hard to take Mana seriously since she seemed to be straight out of a manga. Perhaps she was even acting out a scene from one.

"It's okay, I forgive you." The girl added with a sob. She stopped swinging the fox and relaxed her grip so Suzuka's head wasn't absolutely buried. Mana seemed to relax a little as she blushed pretty heavily. She sort of did all that in front of a group of people didn't she? "Just... Umm... N-not a-again..." She added, her face a terrible shade of red.

As Mugi fell, she made some cute "Atatata!" noises before landing in the spider girl's chest with an "Ufu!" She went limp for a little bit as she somewhat didn't listen to a word Tomoko said. Soon though, she started to wiggle her head back and forth as her head rested into it's spot in the spider's chest and slowly turned up for air. "Fuwafuwa." The Yuki-Onna muttered aloud as she had a disgustingly contented face. "Fuwa Fuwa~" She reiterated as she started to listen half-way through Tomoko's speech.

She turned around some more, slowly, as she rested her head in the soft clouds until she could look at the person that had tripped her. Of course, she hadn't quite figured that part out. "Thank you for the soft landing zone." The contentedness hadn't left her face at all. She then continued to pay attention to Tomoko until she heard... "Wait, spirits?" The contentedness left her face as she gripped on to Kaori, "Ghosts?" She had heard ghost stories from the Elder in the past. "G-g-ghosts can be a good idea right? I mean, they do bad things to people right? Like, haunt houses and cause blood to fall from the walls right?!" Mugi didn't quite understand the Ghost Stories the Elder told her, and so assumed that this were all absolutely true. The more she mentioned and thought, the tighter her grip on the spider got. Kaori would also notice that Mugi's skin was cold to the touch.
