Ghost of the Evening Child

Chpt.2

"Defeat!" the machine from the arcade stated. "Let's do it again! Again!" Sayoko shouted as she shook my shoulders. We were playing a game called TamaTama punch, which was a fighting game. I'm not good at games but I'm not that bad either, my gaming skills are average. After all I never even once went to an arcade.

How did we get here again? Well Sayoko said she wanted to experience playing in an arcade. She's never been to one. According to her she was forced to stay home and study most if the time, she'll just pass by an arcade whenever she saw one , not even getting the chance to set foot in there. Shouldn't children be allowed to have fun while they're young? But it seems her parents point of view was different.

Once you grow up and become an adult you'll rarely get the chance to have fun. So you better make lot's of good memories and do what you want as a child before it's too late. We shouldn't waste our childhood on training to become a proper grown up, there will be another time to do that.

Sayoko just wanted to experience a normal childhood....

"NOOOOO!" She stood up from her seat and screamed, she looks pretty frustrated even though I'm the one playing not her. "Miss Yoko you suck." she pouted "Why not you give it a try then?" I said and squished her cheeks. "I took a leave from my job just to be yelled at by my new mini boss." I fondled with her cheeks even more. "Hmmmmmm! Stop!" Sayoko got her revenge by forcefully sandwiching my face in between her own tiny hands, I gotta admit it hurt It's like I just got smacked by the ocean waves.

"This was your tenth try Miss Yoko... THE TENTH ONE! How can you still not beat the boss!?"
"Oh so you're telling me to beat you up?"
"ahaha please don't. I mean't that boss! You have got to beat that one, I heared only a few gamers even reached this round and beat Tatama!"
"Sayoko please remember that I have never been to this place before, nor have I played any games in my life."
"You're playing one right now! Look! You got to this level! You have to give Tatama ye old one two! You'll set a high score an be a legend if you do!"
"That kinda seems impo-"

"Defeat!" my sentence was cut off by the machine. I lost again. I turned to face her "Look you're the one who wanted to beat the boss. Why am I doing the fighting for you?" I crossed my arms and raised a brow. "Because! Uh... uhmm..... I want you to do it!"
she crossed her arms imitating me.

"Come on Miss Yoko. You took a leave from your job for the first time! You have to enjoy this day! You're already at this level! Are you really gonna give up?"
"So now you're using the talk no jutsu you learned from that anime last night."
"Ehe... but still you wanted to play too right? And it's my request you have to follow it or else I won't be able to rest in peace."
"Fine... fine... stop your rambling. Let me concentrate."

I tried to been Tatama for the eleventh time and I...
FAILED. "That's okay. Maybe all you need is a cute cheerleader." she winked at me and started doing a funny dance. "I appreciate the enthusiasm. But now we're out of tokens." I told her before I went to get some more. Then I heared someone talk about a flying can of cola, now whose doing could that be? When I came back she was nowhere to be found. "Sayoko? Sayoko? Hey don't play pranks on me. Where are you?" to my surprise she was hidding behind the machine with cola in her hand which she placed on top of the machine. "You must be a bit thirsty from getting beaten up all the time, so I got you some cola!" She probably stole this from someone. What if she got caught? I'm pretty sure someone saw a flying cola earlier, that means she did get caught. "Sayoko did you steal this?"I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. "I would never steal cola. I only stole the money to buy it." this girl is unbelievable. She's so stupid and cute at the same time. "I appreciate the refreshment but don't do that again okay?" I weakly karate chopped her head and she made an umph kind of sound.
