Chapter two: Strawberries and Chocolate
_________________________________________________________________
Rin could not believe what a beautiful day it was as she stepped out of the house
and onto the sidewalk. The morning sun glittered through the trees as cherry blossoms
floated on the wind and caught in her dark brown hair. Inhaling deeply, she could almost
taste the air which was filled with the delicate scents of spring grass and blooming
flowers. "Wow." Smiling to herself, Rin started walking to her kndestdestination.
Today was a special day. Once a month, Rin would go to the street market and
pick out something sweet (usually chocolate). While indulging in her sweet tooth,
she would browse the merchant's booths.
As Rin walked towards the towns bustling square, she noticed children playing
in their yards with robust giggles and rosey cheeks.
Her line of sight caught on a man and woman sitting on a park bench.
Their noses were touching as each lover seemed to be lost in the others eyes.
Rin sighed, 'yep. Spring is definitely in the air.'
She briefly wondered why she was not involved yet.
Sure, she was only nineteen, but some of her friends were already married now.
Shrugging it off, she attributed her solitary way to not having met the right guy.
For some reason she could not fathom, every man she met was not the one she was waiting
for.
'How will I know?' she mused to herself. 'Will there be some sort of sign?
Maybe a star falling from the heavens? Bells tinkling nearby.
Thunder on a cloudless day. Or maybe a knight is silver armor will come to my rescue.
An immortal angel set on earth just for me.' Rin almost laughed at her own childlike
thoughts . Only in her dreams were these things possible. Nothing like that ever
happened in the real world.
Somewhat lost in her thinking, Rin unknowingly passed the first two stands before
realizing she was in the bazaar. Looking back, she surmised that nothing of importance
was missed.
The smell of fresh baked bread caught her attention. After purchasing a loaf and
a couple of large pretzels, Rin then set her sights on the fruit and vegetable stand.
"Well, hello child." came an amused voice from behind the counter.
"What will ye be having today?"
"Oh, hi Kaede.....What's good?"
Kaede smiled and pointed to the red ripe strawberries in the front.
"Why, I have ye favorite child. First batch of the season." The old woman chuckled warmly.
Rins eyes sparkled, Kaede knew her passion for the tangy sweet berries.
"I'll take two pints Kaede." After paying for the fruit and placing it in her bag,
Rin bid a cheerful goodbye to her old friend.
While meandering through the growing crowd, Rin glanced around at the merchant booths.
The wares were almost the same as last month except for a costume jewelry stall and a new
food stand. She made a note to herself to eat there before going home.
Suddenly, she felt something touch her backside. "Ahh!" she screeched,
knowing all to well who had taken such liberties with her.
A resounding slap was heard and a few bystanders craned their heads to see what the ruckus
was. But after realizing who the instigator was, they all turned around uninterested.
"Dear Rin," Miroku put on his most innocent face. "I was only trying to keep you
from falling on the sidewalk."
Rin smiled wanly, Miroku was a perv but she absolutely loved what he sold.
Still keeping a safe distance, she asked the houshi what delights he had for sale.
The monk grinned, showing his dimples, while his gold loop earings sparkled
in the midmorning sun. "Rin, my darling." He gestured to his delectables.
"I have everything a beautiful girl such as yourself could possibly want.
Rin ignored the comment and halfheartedly smiled. "Anything new?"
"Oh yes Rin, the newest treat I have is this chocolate orange."
Miroku held up a ball the size of an orange with foil wrapping to match.
"Care for a sample?"
"Are you kidding? Of course!" she nearly squeaked. After taking a piece of
the candy from its orange wrapper, Rin sniffed the chocolate confection shaped
like an orange slice then took a bite. Utter Bliss! The smooth flavor melted on her
tounge.
"Wow! This is really good Miroku! I'll take one with my usual box of favorites."
Miroku accepted the money for the candy then handed her the package.
"Will there be anything else?" he winked at her.
Rin rolled her eyes. "No Miroku, Thanks."
Miroku gave her a friendly wave "Have a good time looking around" he called.
The crowd was beginning to dwindle as Rin neared the end of the bazaar.
She lingered for a moment, contemplating returning the way she had came when something
silvery white caught her vision.
