Omake Chapter 1-D: Kanako

[Kwokinator]

Kwok cursed inwardly.

Dammit, now you did it.  That'll teach you to lie too much...

"Nevermind," she said with a wave of a hand. "It's behind us, and I don't like to talk about my past."

[Bean Bandit]

Shinobu's eyes widened slightly, alarmed. "Ano...it wasn't that bad, was it?"

[Kwokinator]

"Nah, it's not that bad," Kwok said dismissively. "I just don't like to talk about my past, that's all."

[Bean Bandit]

Shinobu blinked innocently as she finished with the last dish, and passed it to Kanako.

"Why not, Kanako-san?"

[Kwokinator]

Kwok shrugged as she took the last dish.

"It's just... something I do, I guess," she answered. "I may talk more than normal, but there's still limits."

[Bean Bandit]

Shinobu looked uncertain, but she smiled. "Mm. Thank you for the help..." she said, bowing slightly.

[Kwokinator]

Kwok smiled back.

"No problem, Shinobu-chan," she answered politely. "Anytime."

[Bean Bandit]

Shinobu smiled brightly back at Kanako, nodding. "Please excuse me...I have to do the laundry, now..."

So saying, the fifteen year old hurried from the room...

[Kwokinator]

Since Shinobu left, Kwok decided to make her way to the living room where the couches are, to see if anyone was there.

[Bean Bandit]

Kanako entered the living room to the odd sight of Kaolla tinkening with an odd looking machine. It was mobile, if the tank treads were indication, and the largish, egg-shaped head was mounted on a long, spindly body. The face itself had three eyes, and a pair of cherries dangling from the mouth...

[Kwokinator]

Kwok looked at the odd machine and puzzled over what it could possibly be for.

"Kaolla-chan," she said, walking up to the younger girl. "What's this you're working on?"
