Crystal Shenshi Chapter 1

“Aqua!” yelled a small pink haired child.

The older girl turned to look at who was coming. She had silver hair and red eyes. “Ah! Small Lady!” Aqua exclaimed happily.

The pink haired girl made a face. “I said to call me Usagi!” she said annoyed.

“Of course,” giggled Aqua. “So, how have you been, Usagi?”

“Fine,” Usagi replied with a smile. “Where are you going, Aqua?”

“Shopping for some more food,” she answered.

“Food?” Usagi asked, puzzled. “We have plenty here at the castle, though. Why do you need to go get food?”

“It’s for a friend,” the silver haired girl answered, smiling sweetly. “I promised him that I’d cook a meal in return for helping me.”

The pink haired Usagi narrowed her eyes and smiled mischievously at the gossip. She raised an eyebrow. “Does this boy happen to be a friend?”

“Why, yes, of course,” Aqua answered, trying to see what else Usagi was going to say.

“Does this boy happen to be more of a friend?” Usagi continued slyly.

“Of course, he is my brother after all.”

The pink haired girl’s mouth dropped and she quickly collected herself. “O-of course, he’s you’re brother,” she said embarrassedly. “I knew that.”

“Of course you did, Usagi,” Aqua smiled. “I’ll be on my way now.”

Aqua headed to the square. She checked the list. “Let’s see: eggs, parsley, tomatoes, mushrooms, dough, flour, mi- Oof!” Aqua ran into someone. “I’m sorry,” she began.

“Are you Aqua?” asked the strange man.
