Misunderstanding (RK)

	Shawna is furious. The Tokay is currently watching a man who she had her eyes on buy something from the Danuki across from her store. This man, who've been in the city for a few years now and has been a regular in HER store, for some reason decided to go to her rival, Fuuka. "He better have a DAMN good reason why he was over there the next time I see him." She see Fuuka hands over a small bottle of alcohol wrapped in a bag. This caused her to raise an eyebrow as she doesn't recall having any bottle that size. This question was disrupted when she noticed that the man, Luke, is now walking towards her store. "Hmmmm" Shawna thought. Seeing an opportunity to interrogate him, she stood up straight and put her padded hands on the counter. Luke walks in through the front door while scanning the store. "Hello Shawna" Luke said, as he walks toward the alcohol section.

	He wears a soft smile on his face as he said her name. Shawna's heart skip a beat as she stares at him, thought she hides it pretty well. Luke may be a bit lanky and he actually not that physically attractive due to his crooked ears and big forehead plus big glasses, but he is a genuine enough person that Shawna can't help but admire him for his optimism. Shawna herself is like most Tokay, slim, and of average height with grayish blue scales on her arms and legs. One key difference is her spot are purple as opposed to the orange most other Tokay have. Interrupting the narration's description of Shawna, Luke walk up to the counter with a bottle of 1982 Kirin's Tear, shocking Shawna. Not because it the one he bought from Fuuka, cause she knows Fuuka doesn't have one, but because she doesn't have that on the shelf. "Luke, did you went into the back to get that?" Shawna inquires, irritation building up. "I did. You said a few month ago that I had permission to go in there." Luke said. Past the alcohol section of the store is a special storage room where Shawna keeps the more rare and expensive drinks. "Oh right.. I did. But you still didn't let me know you were going in there." Shawna growled. "Now... tell me, what is that bottle you're holding there, tokay?" Lukes, confused, gave his answer. "Its a 1982 Kirin's Tear." "The smaller one, Luke." "A Cinnamon Mushroom Whiskey." Shawna gasped. "THAT RINGTAIL HAD THAT, TOKAY!?!"

	Luke flinched. He forgot that the Tokay had a history with the Danuki, but he couldn't find the drink in Shawna's store before and thought he could find it at Fuuka's. "She did have it. I was looking for one because I because I heard about what it does when it mixed with Kirin's Tear. I know you have the latter, but I couldn't find the Cinnamon Mushroom here before, so I thought Fuu-" He freezes when Shawna suddenly barked loudly at him. "Don't say that bitch's name, tokay!" she shouted. "I will not have her name uttered in this store, especially by you, tokay!" Luke is becoming concerned for her due to her heated response. "I'm just trying to find what I was looking for and found an option, why are you so angry?" Shawna frowned. "Because apparently someone have decided I didn't have enough, that someone else would have more to provide for him, even though I would go out of my way to get it for him, even if it mean beating up a Dragon! Actually, I did punch a Jho in the face once, I don't recommend it, tokay." "Did you actually do that?" "I. Don't. Recommend. It. Tokay." Shawna emphasized her words and then sighed. "You've been so loyal to me and suddenly you're going to a different store?" Luke shrugged "Its only once, beside you know how supply and demand works. This isn't that big a deal. Beside I wanted to ask you something." Still angry, but restraining herself Shawna fixes her gaze onto Luke. "Go on, tokay." He took a deep breath. "Could I borrow some money?"

	"Wat." Shawna is so stunned her verbal tic fails to comes through. "I kinda need some money to get this Kirin's Tears cause I spent quite a bit on the whiskey and I know you might be able to lend me some." Luke explained. "Sooooooo, let me get this straight, you bought something from Ringtail... and you want to borrow money from ME?" He nodded. Shawna leans forward. "Let me makes this clear, you think you can get away with that? Think you can just act like I will just be okay with giving you money when you are just going to go all over the place not depending on me?" Luke chuckles nervously. "You're taking this rather personally don't you think?" he said. While gazing at Luke, Shawna opens a drawers and pull out a form. She slams it down on the counters. "Here is a transfer form that will let you borrow $600 from my account. Just sign this and that bottle is yours, tokay." Luke look at the paper for a few second before pulling out a pen and signs it. Shawna then starts laughing. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, HOLY SHIT YOU ACTUALLY SIGNED WITHOUT READING IT?!?" Startled, Luke looks back at the paper and saw that it says that he owes waaaay more than $600 and he will need to work for her if he want to pay it off. "Uuuh, what?" He asked. The Tokay snickered "You deserves this for giving that ring-tailed cuntscrubber any of your money when it should goes to me. YOU OWES ME YOUR LOYALTY, BOYO, TOKAY!" She wears a victorious smile on her face.

	That is when she saw Fuuka walking up to the store with a smile as hers faded. Fuuka opens the door and peeked in. "Soooo Luke, did it work?" Luke turned back and smiled. "Eeeeeyup. About time she did something." Shawna jaws dropped. Luke planned this. Fuuka was in on it. She cannot understand that this is happening. There is no way this could happen, unless.... "Luke, you knew I had feeling for you?" He nodded. He knew Shawna, as a Tokay, would never confess the conventional way. She would rather make sure he is absolutely in her debt before pouncing on him. "We knew that you wanted Luke for a while so we came up with a plan for you." Fuuka said. Shawna looks at her. "But you're not going to try to take him from me, tokay?" Fuuka laughed. "He isn't my type, so go ahead, freak out." Shawna does indeed freaks out as she rushes to the Open sign and tore it down, rush back to Luke and grabbed him by hand and runs out the door and to her car. Fuuka watches her drive away as she walks back to her store. "I prefer pussy anyway." She then bump into something large and heard a deep growl. She looks up and saw that she just walked into a Savage Jho's leg. The Jho bent down and places her hand on the Danuki's shoulder. "Care to repeat that, sugar?" The Jho inquire, licking her lips. Fuuka's eye shrank as she realized whats coming.

"Oh shi-"
