I was hungry, mid-day cravings did that. Maybe cold and tasty? Sugary even? Maybe a smoothie? Or perhaps some sort of shake? Topped with whipped cream? Better yet, ice cream. I caught myself drooling like a starved child. I wiped it away with my hand and quickly rushed away to the bathroom. I took a long sigh, just as I finished drying my hands. My mother was sprawled out on the kitchen floor muttering random things to herself. "Dear mother, have you gone insane?" I asked, as it was part concern but mostly a joke. She groaned loudly and stared at me grumpily. "Sugar. . .ice. . .anything! I'm over here burning up!" I sighed, opening the freezer and putting ice cubes into a glass, which I then filled with water. I went to her side, pushing the glass just next to her. She drank it down with no mercy and groaned again, much louder. "I'm getting out of this house and getting fresh air. . .besides, it's supposed to be colder outside. . .and I do need to shop."
"May I come with you? It's been a while since I went to the market in particular." I asked, a sweet smile on my face. She seemed to think for a moment before nodding gently and forcing herself up onto her feet. I rushed to my room, yes, a chance to finally get some shopping down, and possibly satisfy my craving for ice cold sweets. I put on all of my clothing, from my boots all the way to my dress. I attached my Katana to my side and by the time I got out the room, my mother was already gone. I was silently questioning my mother's abilities to go out either wearing nothing but her indoor clothing or dress faster than I could ever undress.
I walked out the door and locked it behind me, hearing the soft click of it locking. It was colder outside, but I couldn't tell for certain. I didn't care too much about the exact temperature, but it was just between nice and unbearable. I reached the market place after a bit of time, after dodging several crowds of shopping villagers. But soon after I finally spotted a woman even closely resembling my mother, it felt like Rush Hour. I was quickly crammed into a section of the market and could hardly process what was going on. I knew I shouldn't hurt others just to make a path for myself, so as soon as I reached a door, I quickly opened it and hoped for the best to happen in this type of scenario.
I fell into the building, my eyes initially closed due to my fear. Instead of odd noises or something weird happening, I heard a few voices say "Are you alright?". I opened my eyes to a trio young woman offering their hands to me. I took one and quickly apologized for making them have to help me up. Saying a thank you soon afterward. The woman brushed everything off and exited the shop, gossiping, and chattering. I took a good look at my situation, it was simply a busy cafe. "Welcome to Kou's Sweets, Miss. Can you please follow me to a seat?" another young woman said, proudly showing her bright smile. Kou's cafe huh? It sounded pretty sweet, ice cream. . .mochi.
Wait, what? I quickly glanced outside, beginning to say I was just popping in. That was, until I saw just how many people were just outside. I sighed, "Sure mam," She lead me to a small booth and I sat down cautiously, watching her write on her notepad then offer another smile. "Um, do you serve Mochi?" Just the thoughts of the confection made me want to drool. "Yes, of course, we do. What about a drink?" Green tea, come on brain, green tea. "Just some water." Curse you brain, don't let the other healthy side win next time. She wrote it down and excused herself, rushing off to the kitchen. Kou's Sweets. . .yummy.
