Liar Liar

By Unkown Saiyan

Chapter 1: Marla's Fortune Telling Corner

Yuu exited the public library with two books cradled in his arms. He walked down the usual street to go home. On the way he noticed a small shop that he had never noticed before.

"Marla's Fortune Telling Corner." Yuu read off the door. "We can tell you your future. Ha- ha. Tell me my future. What kind of mumbo jumbo are they trying to pull?" Yuu laughed as he continued for home.

"Mumbo jumbo now is it?" Said a voice behind him.

Yuu turned around to see a middle aged woman who had just come out of the shop. She had gypsy-like clothing on and giant golden beads around her neck. Her hair was jet black and looked like it hadn't been washed in at least a month. Her nose was too big for her face and she had a mole with a black hair in the middle of it. You could almost mistake her eyebrows for one giant, bushy eyebrow. Yuu laughed at the thought.

"Well I......."

"Never mind boy. Come on in." The woman said as Yuu walked over to the door and entered the shop.

"I'm Marla, and you are?"

"Yuu."

"Well, Yuu, it's a pleasure to have ya here."

Yuu's eyes wandered around the room. Inside there were all sorts of weird objects. Crystal balls, books for casting spells, potions, and a colorful assortment of beads. By the time Yuu absorbed everything in he was begging to have thoughts that seemed to scream at him for entering the shop. 'At least no one saw me come into such a ridiculous shop as this. I don't want to be rude. I suppose I'll just stay.' Yuu thought.

Marla studied Yuu and caused him to become uncomfortable. "Now, Yuu since this is yer first time in me shop, I'll give ya yer first telling fer free. What'd ye say to that?" Marla said.

"Well I suppose......."

"Ye suppose? Well alright. Come on back." She said entering a door with beads draping down from it. The beads all collided together making a clinking type noise. Yuu slowly followed behind her.

"Sit down." Marla said as she gestured to a chair.

Yuu sat down into the chair that felt like he had just sat down on a piece of cloud. In front of the chair was a table draped in a royal blue cloth. In the middle of the circular table was a large crystal ball. Marla was seated at the opposite side of the table. She positioned her hands over the crystal ball and began to chant something as she waved her hands over it.

'This is nuts, what am I doing in here. For all I know this lady can be crazy.' Yuu thought to himself.

Now Marla placed one of her hands on her forehead. "It is clear!" She exclaimed. This almost wanted to make Yuu burst out in laughter, but he kept his composure. The crystal ball now appeared to be swirling. A moment later there was a heart in the middle of the crystal ball. Marla's eyes were closed and her expression looked like one of deep concentration. "I see love in your future. True love." Marla said. Yuu moved to the edge of his chair, staring into the ball. "There is a girl, a very beautiful, young girl." Marla said as the silhouette of a girl was now in the crystal ball. "Brown hair, brown eyes. Her name begins with an M." As Marla described the girl Miki appeared in the crystal ball.

This caused Yuu to freak out a little bit. 'How does she know this?' Yuu thought to himself. 'Yes, I love her, but we have no relationship.' "That's not all I see though." Marla said as the image of Miki faded away. "I also see trouble. Trouble because of things that have been said. Yes, it is very clear." Marla said. She slowly opened her eyes. She looked as if she had just finished talking to a dead person. Slowly that expression disappeared of her face as well.

"The girl, in the crystal ball. Is she yer love?" Marla asked Yuu.

"I have never seen her before." Yuu lied. He did not want her to know these things.

"I see." Marla said with a disappointed expression on her face. "Then I suppose ye best be going." Yuu got up from his chair and slowly made his way out of her room. When he exited her shop Marla still sat in her chair. Yuu's face appeared in her crystal ball. She placed her hands onto it and began to chant.......

The next morning Yuu woke up with a long yawn. "Boy, did I sleep good." He said as he threw a glance at his alarm. "Nine fifteen!" He exclaimed. "Oh, wait, calm down, it's Saturday." Yuu said, relieved that he didn't have to go to school. 'Last week of school before summer vacation, I can hardly wait.' Yuu thought. He brushed his teeth and got ready for the day to come. After doing so he went downstairs to eat breakfast.

"Good morning Yuu!" exclaimed Rumi. "I'm going to be late for work if I don't leave now. Tell Miki I left."

"Alright, but where is Miki?'"

"She's still sleeping."

"Oh-."

Rumi walked out the door.

Miki walked down the stairs rubbing her eyes. She was still in her cherry pajamas.

"Good morning Miki. Did you sleep well?" Yuu asked.

"Yeah." Miki said as she sat at the table.

"Where's Rumi?" She asked

"Oh, you just missed her. She left for work five minutes ago."

"Oh-.'" Miki said as she poured cinnamon toast crunch into her cereal bowl. "Since its just you and me today what do you wanna do?"

"I want to kiss you." Yuu said as he had just realized what he said and shook his head.

Miki looked up from her cereal bowl and just stared at him. 'Did I say that out loud?' Yuu thought. Miki was lost for words and just continued eating her cereal.

"You know Miki, you look so beautiful when you just wake up." Yuu said. This time he was in total shock. 'What is wrong with me? Since when did I think out loud?' Yuu thought.

Miki spit out her cereal laughing her head off. "Yuu stop being such a liar!" Miki said practically rolling on the floor.

"I was serious."

Miki froze. "Okay, Yuu, you're freaking me out. Stop it." Miki said as she cleared her bowl from the table. "I guess I'll just see if Meiko can go somewhere with me." Miki said as she disappeared up the stairs.

'Oh man, this is bad. I'm practically saying whatever comes into my head. What is wrong with me. If I were ever in a different situation with Miki I could end up saying something really bad. What am I going to do?'
