Chapter 5 - Part V

At Spiced Flavor

Spiced Flavor was packed with all types of creatures sitting at tables. Yashiro and Seiya went near a stage and sat down by a red haired boy with wolf-like features and a red haired with and a child with the same features and Amayori followed.

"This place is packed." Amayori said, looking around the restaurant. "Yeah well that's Spiced Flavor for ya! It's always packed in here." Yashiro said, looking at Amayori. "Are you sure it's okay to bring Akio along to a place like this Ryu?" Seiya questioned. "Is she your sister?" Amayori asked. "Yeah. I haven't seen you around here." Ryu said looking at Amayori. "I'm Amayori." Amayori said with a closed eye smile. "She's being talkative!" Yashiro whispered to Seiya. Seiya rolled his eyes and smiled. Just then a blonde boy who was on stage came by playing guitar.

"Memories oh memories are like stars in the night sky. Don't ever forget who you are. You'll always be safe right here in my heart. I'll be right beside you. Me and you. I will be her to guide you always." The blonde haired boy sang walking towards Akio and she giggled. "You sound great Tamaki!" Akio said to the blonde haired boy. The blonde haired boy looked at Amayori. "New face huh?" Tamaki said with a smile. "Amayori." Amayori said, smiling back. "I see your good with kids." Amayori said, looking at Akio. "Anything for my biggest fan." Tamaki said, looking at Akio. "How many people are going to sit at our table." Seiya said, slightly annoyed.

"Ahh! I haven't seen you two in forever!" A girl with white hair said come over, bring over water and give Akio juice. "It hasn't been that long." Seiya rolled his eyes. The girl came over hugging Yashiro. "It's nice to see you Yukinari. You're still working here?" Yashiro said hugging back. Yukinari went to hug Seiya. "Get off me!" Seiya said with a light annoyed tone. "Oh come on you know you love me! Yeah I'm still here." Yukinari said to Yashiro. "Oh I've never seen you here before. Yashiro! I never knew you had a girlfriend!" Yukinari said excited. "What?! S-She's not my girlfriend!" Yashiro stuttered. "Ha! Yashiro getting a girlfriend that's funny." Ryu laughed. "Hey!" Yashiro yelled.

"Seiya~" Yukinari said looking at Seiya at the corner of her eye smirking. "Don't be ridiculous. We found her in the dunes." Seiya said sipping water. "Arkton Dunes?" Tamaki said wiping the juice that Akio spilled on herself. Yukinari sighed. "You two are going to be single forever." Yukinari said, shaking her head. "Yup. She fell out of the sky!" Yashiro said looking at Ryu and Tamaki, ignoring what Yukinari said.

"The sky? That's odd well welcome to the town of Brimstone!" Yukinari said smiling at Amayori. "And you are?" Yukinari asked. "A-Amayori." Amayori said as her face got pink, looking away from Yukinari. "Oh! You're adorable! I like this one!" Yukinari said giggling. "She's getting shy again." Yashiro whispered leaning over to Seiya. "You're so clueless." Seiya said, sipping his water.

"Yukinari!" A man shouted from the kitchen. "In a minute~." Yukinari smiled and said singlongly. "So what are we thinking today?" Yukinari asked with her hands on her hips. "Pizza!" Akio said excitedly and threw her hand up. "Sounds good to me." Ryu said smiling at Akio. "Yeah! We should all share a pizza." Yashiro said happily. Yukinari bent down to Akio. "Your wish is my command." Yukinari said giggling. "Yukinari!" The man from the kitchen said again. "Hold on! I'm coming, I'm coming!" Yukinari shouted in annoyance walking towards the kitchen.

"Tamaki~!" Akio said, looking at Tamaki tugging his sleeve. "Can you play a song? Please~?" Akio said, smiling. "Sure little one. Which one?" Tamaki said while ruffling Akio's hair. Akio whispered her song request in Tamaki's ear. "Alright." Tamaki said getting up. "Would you like to sing with me?" Tamaki asked, holding his hand out to Akio. "Oh god no." Seiya said under his breath facepalming.

Akio shook her head. "I want you to sing with my brother." Akio said with a smile. Ryu spilled out his water he was drinking. "Huh?" Tamaki looked confused. "What!" Ryu shouted looking surprised. "Ha!" Seiya laughed. "How about it Ryu? Sing for me?" Tamaki held his hand out to Ryu."Ryu! Sing with Tamaki!" Akio said clapping and jumping in her seat. "No." Ryu said monochromatic, sipping his drink. Akio frowned.

"Don't give me the-" Ryu said. Akio gave Ryu puppy dog eyes. "Fine!" Ryu got up and walked up the stage and sat on a stool. Tamaki followed, grabbing his guitar sitting on a stool as well. "Yeah!" Yukinari screamed standing by the kitchen door. Ryu mouthed a shut up. Yukinari mouthed a no. "Yukinari!" The man in the kitchen called out. "I'm right here!" Yukinari yelled going back into the kitchen. Tamaki started strumming the beginning tune. Some people at Spiced Flavor looked at the stage. Ryu rolled his eyes and started singing.

"I'm done." Ryu said to Tamaki. "Ryu!" Akio pouted. "Yori!" Akio shouted at Amayori as she was drifting to sleep. "Hm? What is it?" Amayori said yawning. "Sing with Tamaki!" Akio said pointing at Tamaki. "What song?" Amayori asked. Akio whispered in Amayori's ear. Akio then got on stage and got bongos from behind the curtain. Amayori walked on stage and sat on the stool. Akio whispered into Tamaki's ear. "Ok then. You ready?" Tamaki looked at Amayori and Akio. Amayori nodded. "Yeah! We got to entertain this place somehow!" Akio said grinning. Akio tapped the bongos to get people's attention. Not that many people were interested. Tamaki started strumming the beginning notes. "Hey I know that tune." Yashiro said, looking at the stage. Akio soon began playing along.

As soon as Amayori started singing, the whole Spiced Flavor looked at the stage. The whole Spiced Flavor clapped for the performance. Just then Akio started tapping another beat. Tamaki was about to play his guitar but Akio stopped him. Akio shook her head. "Acapella!" Akio said with a smile. Tamaki placed his guitar down and sat on the stool. Akio started to play a song.
