Finally escaping the woman's painful show of affection, she stood up straighter, and waited for the inevitable words. The woman paced back toward the kitchen, and Utada, annoyed that she wouldn't just say it right here, reluctantly followed. She waited while the woman poured herself a glass of expensive coffee, and the sharp scent of the beans bit at her nose while she waited.
The woman took her time sipping at the cup, and finally looked up at Utada. "My dear champion, you have a game today." she took another sip from the mug, and Utada smiled obediently to hide her disgust.
A game. That's all it is to her.
"Yes, mother." she said, almost visibly wincing at that word she hated so much. -
"Come on!"The boy, Tsu, called, grabbing her arm and tugging her down the hall.
"Mom has something to tell you!"He exclaimed. -
(Sorry.. I have to go. I'll be back in approximately an hour and fifteen minutes. Can you be here?)
-
Yes, I can.:3 Bye
-
(Still here?)
-
Your turn.
-
(Okay. :3)
Utada was rushed through her breakfast, her "siblings" crowding around her, instructing her on what she should eat, how much she should eat, whether she should warm up when she was done, or wait until before the fight. Their debates slurred together as she focused on each piece of sausage her teeth tore up. -
The best part about the family, she decided, was that it was small, and the food was good.
She sat at the table, ignoring Tsu's stares and Yuri and Yachiru's constant jabbering about different fighting styles of hers. -
Utada finished off her food, and shoved past the arguing children, ignoring their protests. She headed back up the stairs, and heard the sound of the elder woman's footsteps following her. She turned to look at her, giving her the obedient smile she loved so much to see.
"We're betting quite a bit on you. This girl you're going to fight.. she's won quite a few, but your father and I are confident you can beat her." she said in her nasally voice that drove Utada mad.
She simply nodded, and allowed the woman to lead her toward the front door now, forgetting about what she had been doing on the stairs. -
(Will Mei fight her..?xD)
Mei finished eating and looked at her 'mother', who gave her a bright smile "Don't worry, just one fight today."
Mei groaned, then nodded, putting a hand to her temple.
Yuri and Yachiru giggled, happy about the fight. -
(That's what I thought- if you don't want to, it can be another girl who has won lots of fights. x3)
Escorted to the odd horse-drawn carriage, which the woman insisted showed wealth better than a fancy car, Utada sat quietly beside the woman, hands in her lap. When the woman spoke, she listened and nodded. When she was silent, Utada was too. She was beginning to see why everyone always thought she was nothing more than the woman's favorite blood stained doll. But she didn't mind.
Her mind was focused entirely on the upcoming fight. -
Mei was suprised when Tsu came with her and his mom.
They went to the fight in a car, nothing special. But everyone who saw the car knew it was Mei. -
(So will our two fight eachother, then?)
They arrived at the field relatively early, and Utada let the elder woman lead her out of the carriage. She didn't glance around at her competition, the way she knew the others did. It didn't matter who she looked at. It was all about whose name was drawn with whose.
The woman entered her name, and brought her to the side of the field to sit and wait. -
(Yup)
Mei walked beside Tsu, who took her to sit while his mom put in her name.
Tsu's red hair was pulled out of his face with a brown headband. -
(Okay. :3)
Still waiting, Utada closed her eyes tightly. Even when the fights began, she contented herself listening to the cursing, the scuffling of shoes, the shrieks of pain, the loud bell when the fight was won, and the occasional thud of a fight going too far before it was stopped. She could smell the blood with ease. She waited to hear her name again, so she could once again play the elder woman's puppet.
