Sayuri slowly glided gracefully into the Descending Angels store and paused for the slightest moment, allowing the air conditioner to rush over her before advancing futher. She still had not managed to aquire enough money to buy an outfit but she was regularly checking to see if they had any new clothes in stock that took her fancy. At first she didn't seem interested in browsing through their selction of outfits, instead she found herself gazing at a layer where 2 Deuses were battling it out with their angels. They seemed like professionals compared to her newbie skills but she was determind to improve once she had found the perfect dress for Michiko, who was still tucked safely inside her green and blue silk obi.
Averting her stare from the battle she ambled down the first aisle, gently running the tips of her fingers along the numerous boxes of merchandise, before turning sharply and continued into the next aisle. This aisle too was full of Angelic Layer things, but instead of merchandise, it was crammed with accessories and all sorts to dress up your angel in. Sayuri gave a silent squeal under her breath and admired the cute little ribbons and bows as she tried to narrow it down to a few that she would buy for Michiko. After was seemed like hours of flicking through the boxes she returned to the front of the store to watch the new battles that were about to begin.

Having disentangeled himself from his hangers-on, Zachary looked at the Descending Angels shop and thought of the angel tucked in the inside pocket of his jacket. He had tied a green kerchief around her so that she looked less like a mannequinne and folded her into a sitting position in his pocket. Today his goal was to look at clothes for her. Maybe to buy some if he saw any that took his fancy.
Walking in the door, he saw a stand with pamphlets about battling the angels. He looked over the stand before taking one and tucking it next to Xenon. He focussed his mind back on clothes for her and started strolling along the aisles looking for the clothes, being very careful not to stand in front of the windows. Once he found the shelves that had what he wanted on them, he started to look at them very carefully, visualising how she would look in each one.

Out of the corner of her pale amber eyes, Sayuri spotted a boy quickly dash down one of the aisles and continued to stare after him even when he was out of view with a puzzling look. She had seen many boys of all ages in the shop before but this one was different, he had a strange feel about him, like his aura was special. To her, he didn't seem to the type to buy an angel let alone even enter of the store or peer through the large windows at the front. Deciding to find out a little more about him, she quietly crept round to the side of the aisle and popped her head round the corner to watch him for a little while.
Making sure to seem unsuspicious, she walzted down the same aisle and stopped a few yards away from him, pretending to admire a long flowing pink gown. Now Sayuri wasn't the type to go nosing around spying on people, but this boy had taken her attention the minute he walked into the store and she really wanted to find out why. I wonder why he has an angel in the first place? I think i've seen him hanging about before with some of those rich kids

"She's watching me..." Zachary thought it before fully noticing her. Out the side of his eyes, he saw a younger girl browsing the other clothes in the aisle. Knowing that he had dressed to impress, as was his usual standard, he wasn't concerned about her looking at his clothes but rather.. "Go away kid, I'm too old for you" flashed through his mind. he was too used to being admired by most of the girls at school, but at least they were his age.
He moved down the aisle a little, making sure it was away from her, looking at the corsets on display. "Would make moving fast easier... He looked towards the counter, wondering if there was a catalogue somewhere of everything that was avaliable for angels. Deciding that he couldn't see one, he shrugged to himself and continued to look at the corsets.

Seeing him glance over at her, Sayuri sharply pursed her lips together and looked away with a slight blush. She could feel herself going red at her stupidity and edged away to make it look like she was examining a box which contained a Sun dress. As she concentrated on looking casual and not interested in what he was doing, her foot got caught in the rim of her kimono so when she moved it slipped from under her foot and she tumbled into a stack of Chinese dresses. "BUUUUUUUUUM!" She thought to herself with shock and flailed her arms in circles to clear an area to allow herself to climb out from the pile. "OMG what the hell did I do that for? He's going to think I'm a stupid kid now......damn." Ushering the clerks away with her hand she slowly straightened up, smoothed out her hair with both of her slender hands and sighed deeply before continuing to browse through the garments.
"I need to do something quickly.....I know" Sayuri whispered under her breath and whipped out a white fan with red dragons from her obi. As she did this, Michiko got caught on the fan and was sent flying through the air, soaring in the direction of the boy.

The crash she made when tumbling made him look at her fully, not caring if she noticed. Seeing that she was getting up, he rolled his eyes with an annoyed sigh. He watched her grabbing something from inside her clothes and widened his eyes in shock when he saw the doll come flying at him.
"What on earth??!!" he said before ducking to avoid the flying angel. "Geez kid. Playing is for at home, not in the middle of a shop." he glared at her and wheeled on his heels to step away from her gaze.

"W-what?!" She was a little taken aback from his outburst and merely stood there in shock blinking at him with a dazed look. "I'm not a kid! I'm 13 which makes me teenager and besides I wasn't playing. It was an accident, Michiko got caught on my fan." She retorted and stared at the back of him, her arms folded in disbelief. "Geez what's his problem? Obviously he had a bad personality transplant" Sayuri sniggered to herself and cocked a hip to one side. Normally she would've just apologized and hurried to make amends for her actions, but this guy was just plain rude, even if he was kinda cute. Narrowing her eyes slightly with her mouth in a sour pout, she stormed past him, bent down and surprisingly gently picked Michiko up considering the anger that flowed through her body. "Gomennasai for being imature, I hope I didn't ruin your hair." She said sarcastically and flounced off.

"You heard me" he replied to her retreating back. he was rather amused at the way she handled the angel in her anger. Flicking back his hair, he decided to have a bit more fun.
He slowly walked after her, letting her know that he was in no hurry. "My hair is fine, thanks. Yours however could do with a new style. You know, they sell wigs here, maybe one of them would suit you more?" He said this carefully, not letting his amusement show in his voice.

She stopped immedietly in her tracks and wheeled around, her eyes narrowed so much that they became slits of amber and her mouth looked as if it was going to disappear. "I BEG YOUR PARDON!?" She screeched and clenched her fists with fury. "I do not friggin well need a wig, I only wear these clothes and hair style on special occasions.....SO BACK OFF!" Sayuri breathed in short, shallow breaths and scowled at the boy with a menacing look. "Well as long your hair is fine no-one else matters right? It's all about you!" She continued to glare at him for a while longer before tucking the fan and Michiko back inside the obi, turned her back to him and stared at a wall with her arms tightly folded.

"Sounds like someone has her panties in a twist. So what's the special occasion today? Got let out of the attic?" He kept his voice smooth and silky. He was really having fun with this child.
"Of course it's all about me. Why would it be about some 13 year old? Specially one that is refusing to look at the person that they've been speaking to." Part of him was wondering just how far he could push her before she really let loose and either burst into tears or left the shop. This was the first girl in ages that hadn't fallen over herself to be nice to him and he enjoyed the reaction far too much to just stop now.

Sayuri rolled her eyes with an annoyed expression before turning to face him and smirked, placing one hand on her now cocked hip and locked eyes. "The attic? No. Why would I need to be let out of an attic when I have so many bedrooms to choose from?" She replied in a more calm tone now and raised one eye brow.
"Don't see why it should be all about you. You're nothing special, I've seen plenty of guys just like you. Why should you be treated any differently?" This guy was so full of himself Sayuri couldn't help but react to his insults and taunts. She absolutely hated snobbish people and this one was no exception. "And I'm not just some 13 year old, for your information, I come from a well known family in the Japanese district."

He raised an eyebrow at her and winked coyishly. "If you truely are from a well known family, then you need to learn to act like it. I can tell you right now that children from well known families do not throw dolls at random people in shops." He had rested his weight on his back leg, giving the apperance of being totally relaxed.
"Sure there are guys like me and unless they're with me, they're wannabes. I have no time for them. The only reason you are getting any reaction from me now is because you attacked me. Otherwise I wouldn't even bother with the likes of you." This was the truth. Usually he just overlooked younger kids with contempt, definatly never spoke to them unless they angered him. His eyes flicked over her again this time taking notice of her clothes and inwardly approved. She was tidy, obviously taking care in her appearance and the silks of her outfit weren't cheap. Were she older, he might of seduced her into fawning over him like all the others.

Once more she rolled her eyes and relaxed her body aswell, she could feel the tension building up inside her, which would cause her to shout her mouth off at the older teen. "For the last time I didn't throw my angel at you. If I had planned to throw it I would've aimed for your head." She snapped at him in what sounded like an apologetic tone, even if her face didn't show it. "I'm from the Tenshi clan. My Mother used to own an Okiya and all my family have been highly succesful geisha, earning thousands and I even dare say millions a year. I'm not like the normal 13 year olds round here, I have manners and I'm well educated." Sayuri stated the facts that she knew were definately true and tucked the strand of wavy brunnette hair behind her right ear. "I wouldn't interact with you if you were the last person of Earth. You're a snobbish git and I can't see why girls drools over you. The only good thing about you is your clothes, hair and your a**...." Realising what she had hissed in her outburst, she quickly covered her mouth in shock and blinked at him with her long eye lashes.

He couldn't resist the grin that he felt on his face at her last comment. "Your manners are lacking and I don't care about your family. They mean nothing to me. Do you hear other people spouting out their geneology?" He righted himself. standing up straight, his hands going over his jacket to make sure it was still straight. This was not as much of a wasted trip as he thought it was, she had proved rather entertaining.
He couldn't resist winking at her again just to see her reaction. "I must be the last person on earth then since you obviously can't leave me alone.."

Sayuri instantly slapped her hands over her now red blushing cheeks and began to feel rather flustered and annoyed with him. "Well then, if you the are the last person on the Earth I better stop talking to you." She sneered with another pout, walked directly towards him so as when she moved slightly to the side they bashed shoulders and she continued to storm ahead, arms swinging in her anger driven march. "I said he had a nice a**.....why did I have to go and say that out loud? I'm such an idiot for blurting that out..." She cursed silently and peered over her aching shoulder to catch another glimpse of him before realising that she had not caught his name. Her brother would never believe this when she told him if she had not learnt the name of the villian in the tale. "Oi, last person on Earth. Can I ask what your name is?" She called back to him and tilted her head to the side with a quizzical look.
