Darkstalkers: Heir To the Throne

The Origin of Sufuge

My pencil twirled between my fingers in my 4th period class as I listened to our teacher; Mr. Ming lecture the class about the ecosystem.

"Alright, everyone open up your textbooks to page 371" Mr. Ming said standing in front of the class.

I heard Morrigan sigh to the right of me. I chuckled. I flipped the pages to 371 and saw a big yellow and black insect in front of me.

"Bees play a big role in keeping our ecosystem alive" Mr. Ming said behind his podium. "They are some of the hardest working creatures on the planet, and because their laborious work ethic, we owe many thanks to this amazing yet underappreciated insect so Thursday on the third of this month we'll be going to a bee farm to see them in action"

Finally, a field trip.

The class went from lifeless to ecstatic.

"Everyone calm down as I pass the field trip slips around" Mr. Ming said.

I looked over at Morrigan who had a tedious look on her face. "School isn't your thing huh?" I laughed.

"Definitely doesn't suit my fancy" Morrigan said bluntly.

My ears went crazy when the bell rang.

RIIIIIIINGG!

"Finally," Morrigan stated. "Let's go eat"

"Let's?" I smirked.

"I meant as in you Jay" she said smiling.

We walked into the school café. The smell of fresh melted cheese and nachos flew into my nostrils.

"I find it remarkable that you don't eat"

"I do…just not that often"

"Hm"

I got my tray of nachos and a sprite and walked with Morrigan to our table outside.

After school, Morrigan and I went to my locker. It seemed like nachos and pop didn't satisfy my hunger. Also, I needed some new accessories for my suit. I decided to kill two birds with one stone.

"You down to go to the mall? I need a few things from there" I said closing my locker.

"If you want to, sure I'll come"

From school, we were at least twelve blocks away from the mall. I definitely didn't feel like walking all the way there so we headed back home and I grabbed my bike. I went in the garage and pumped some air into the tires as Morrigan watched.

"I see it's been a while" Morrigan said, leaning against the wall.

I chuckled. "Ever since my suit, I had a quicker way of transportation; you know how that shit go" I remarked.

I screwed two gold pegs on the back tire and locked them on. I rolled the bike out and closed the garage door. I hopped on and looked at Morrigan.

"Ready?"

"I'm guessing I stand on these?" Morrigan asked, climbing onto the pegs.

"Indeed"

I pedaled off.

Ten minutes passed and we were now at Westhill mall. I rolled my bike over to the racks and locked it up.

We entered the mall. It was a relief to escape the heat outside.

"My stomach's killing me, let's head over to this Chipotle" I said.

I held Morrigans' hand as we stood in line. I looked around as we waited, I seen a lot of guys staring at me and my girl. Even girls were looking at me smiling.

"I guess we make an amazing couple in public" Morrigan smiled.

"Ha. Of course, they don't even know they're looking at a king and queen"

"Next in line!" I heard a Chipotle employee call to us.

"C'mon, you're up next" Morrigan said.

"Hi, can I get a burrito bowl?"

"Anything else?"

"Nah, that's it"

"That'll be 9.75"

I handed her a twenty.

"Here's your change"

"Thanks" I grabbed my food and Morrigan and I walked to a table.

I unwrapped my burrito and tore a piece off.

"Here", I motioned Morrigan to open her mouth. "Taste this"

"Mmm, it's a little sweet"

"Here"

I slid a fork of rice and salad into her mouth.

She savored it.

"How is it?"

She smiled.

"Yeaahh, you wish you ate human food more often now huh?"

"It's tasty. I could get used to this" she said, wiping her mouth with one of my napkins.

We shared the burrito bowl and finished it a few minutes later. We got up and I tossed the bowl into the garbage.

"Now, I gotta purchase some things for my suit" I said as we rode an escalator up to the second floor.

"What's in there?" Morrigan asked looking towards a nearby store called Cosplay.

"I don't know", I shrugged. "Let's check it out".

We walked into the store. There were superhero costumes everywhere. I walked through the aisles and seen manga and anime books everywhere. Swords and guns were aligned high on the walls.

"Wow, such scenery" Morrigan said. "Oh, Jay look"

I walked to where Morrigan was looking.

I see her holding a chest sized metal Superman emblem.

"This would look nice on your suit" she said.

"I can't use that. Don't you know whose emblem that stands for?"

"Who's?" She asked.

"Supermans'" I remarked.

"So what, you're my Superman" she smiled.

"I guess you're right. Ms. Lane"

She chuckled. "C'mon lets buy it"

"How much is it?"

Morrigan looked for the price tag. "$34.99"

"Ah, fuck it" I said.

We walked into the cashiers' line.

I handed the emblem to the guy behind the register. I looked at his name tag.

"$35.15,please" the guy I now know as Dante stated.

I reached into my pocket.

"Bae, I got it" Morrigan said, walking in front of me. She handed Dante a ten, five and a twenty and a dime and nickel.

Where the hell did she get money from?

Dante put the emblem in a plastic bag and handed it to Morrigan along with her receipt.

"Thank you" she said with a smile.

I watched my girl as she started walking towards the store exit.

This girl is full of surprises I thought.

Morrigan turned around. "Jay, aren't you coming?"

"Yeah, hold up" I said catching up to her as we walked out of Cosplay.

"There's a Best buy right there, look's full of electronics" Morrigan implied.

"Perfect"

We walked into the store.
