Jenna stared into her best friend's eyes hoping that it was the right time that she could tell her what she felt: why she borrowed her lipstick so often or why she used her shirt as a pillow case or maybe why she hated her new boyfriend and was secretly hoping that their relationship won't last.
Jenna knew that this could turn out extremely bad but she wanted their friendship to end and they become lovers instead .In the ER(eastern republic) such instances were unheard of and since it was 2023 some people with the aid of higher education has moved on from their homegrown rules and norms and were clearly working it so what could possibly go wrong.
So she sat on Zuri's waist as she lay on her back and her chocolate cheeks clearly blushing she began " Zuri I really like you like not in a friendly way but like lovers "she paused for a moment waiting for Zuri's reaction before she resumed " am tired of staring into your eyes coz am scared you might find love without me"
Zuri had seen this coming that's why she had reprimanded from those friendly pecks on her cheeks, those daily sleepovers that were accompanied by long hugs and a few of her personal effects getting unexplainably displaced and those nights spend watching Rafiki- Jenna's favourite movie .
She stared into her deep brown needy eyes and willed her voice not to crack as she began "it can't work out" she said her voice cracking and turning into a sob "I would like that too but we are just two people with the same kind of hunger at the wrong place and at the wrong time"
Jenna didn't need time to digest these words she began " I want you close and I wont treat you like your all so typical so let's get physical" as she nudged her nose with hers slowly nearing her lips to hers she began kissing her , before she moved any further Juma Zuri's current boyfriend walked and unsheathed his Damu (specialised weapon) and shot it towards Jenna shouting at the top of his voice "sinner tonight you will die" Zuri then mounted on top of her and using her arm deflected the steel shot
" Zuri if you don't move you and her will take five for life" he said as he let out a snicker .
He then put his damu to annihilate mode and it began to glow as it drew energy from his body allowing Zuri to reach the bedside cupboard to reach her damu that unique to her split into two handguns and despite Juma's stronger weapon and self, she was faster and began firing aimlessly at Juma ,true to her nickname bullseye she didn't miss sending him out the 6 foot glass window facing Kampala she then rose from her bed and walked to the edge of the building not minding the glass that cut her heels. She saw him stutter across the yard .
She turned to Jenna who stood their perplexed and gave her a very passionate kiss to her paralysed lips .
"Told we wouldn't work out " she said with a sad smile etched to her face " run stranger he's going to the board and maybe in another life we could be more than really good friends" .
After she left Zuri drifted to dream land where they could have worked out.
Unable to catch sleep she walked out to get some air.
In the next room there sat the twins
they didn't have a KUMI(taskforce)yet this was mainly because the armory couldn't arm them soon this is because they abilities demanded a special approach.
This is because when the philosopher stone decides to come to earth in a mortal body and has kids they are hard to control.
Giveth who was older by 34 seconds had the ability to turn metals from one form to another while Taketh the younger twin turn into anything he touched.
Tonight they had grown tired of waiting and so they decided to take matters into there own hands and decided to seek assistance.
After a million steps they got to the war section ,
"Shaka we seek your aid" Damu's were complex and there were two types mechanical and magical sections .The magical section was made up of walls and ponds because afterlife advice is best given in first person.
After repeated inquiries they heard a voice echo through the hall
"It doesn't work like that you need level three clearance "
"Who are you " they asked
"Level 9 clearance but people call me Zuri"
The two boys stared at each other in amazement
