Touya was sitting around in his room. There seemed to be nothing exciting going on, except for making pancakes for Kanda and Ravi. Of course, periods of rest were good. The big black Menos Grande, as everyone was calling it, was not pretty and destroyed a fair bit of rooms. Touya glanced back at the journal again, the only interesting thing was people wanting handcuffs and leather belts. He scanned around the pages searching for Lana’s handwriting. She was the one who wanted to get a cup of coffee and talk about things and it was a week all ready and there was still no response. Suddenly Touya felt the presence of a ghost. He looked up and saw it had a note for him. With a confusing look he took the note and said his thanks to the ghost.

The note was in Lana's writing and said simply, "COFFEE! MUST HAVE! Would you like to come? I'm going to be down in the kitchen making myself a latte. If you'd like one you can join me."


As he was receiving said note Lana was reaching the kitchen. She took down a large, tall mug and wandered over to the ginormous insane coffee/cappucino/espresso/french fry/superman machine that had appeared in the newly remade kitchen. She had almost peed her pants when she saw it. This thing was top of the line. She'd wanted one for the Talon but it had been WAAAAY too expensive. SHe'd have had to ask Lex..and she didn't like asking Lex for things. She began to mess with some switches to turn it on.

Touya glared at the note. It was definitly Lana's handwriting, but the over hype over coffee was quite....interesting. Touya glanced over the note again, "A latte?" he though, "I wonder what that is..."

Touya got up and stepped out of his newly fix!room and started walking down the stairs. He finally got to the kitchen and was searching around for a girl and a coffeemaker? He lifted his eyes when he saw some girl pushing random buttons on a brand new machine.

Lana stared at the machine for a moment, trying to remember how to switch the settings. She pressed a button and hot water sprayed at her. She squealed and jumped, "SHIT! piss!"
She hopped up and down in a circle, shaking the hand that the most of the boiling hot water had offended as if doing so would make it stop hurting. She finally turned to an angle that she could see that a dark haired man was watching her then stopped in mid jump/hand shake. She stood posed in that odd position for a second, her face turning red as she stood there. She then straightened up, looking embarrassed, "aaaah...hullo...."

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

Touya was wondering if that was really Lana or some other random girl who wanted to mess around with the newly repaired kitchen, she didn't act like the Lana he was talking to through the journals...After staring at the girl jumping around with her scalped hand he had to say something, "Wouldn't it be wiser to put that under cold water?" conviently ignoring the hello, "Umm...I'm looking for a person named Lana, know who she is?"

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana turned even more red as he mentioned that he was looking for a person named Lana. Her coloring was approaching as purple as the human face could naturally get. This was Touya. Shit. She looked down at her hand then tucked it behind herself and looked up at him with pure embarrassment in her eyes, "Uh...yeah...that's me. You must be Touya..." She questioned, trying to control the color of her face to no avail.

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

Touya looked at the now purple!Lana and smirked. "Yes, that would be me," in response to the question. "You and my sister would get along very well," he said after thinking over it for a few minutes and started laughing. "Pleased to meet you I guess," Touya said after a few minutes, "Is that suppose to be the coffee machine? Looks big and complicated..."

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana laughed, "Why, does she spout profanity and dance around doing strange things at inopportune times too?"
She smiled good naturedly, "Lovely to meet you too. I sometimes I forget that I've never actually MET the people I talk to through the journal."

She turned back to the machine when he mentioned it and nodded, "yes! It's WONDERFUL! I wanted one for my coffee shop back home but hadn't quite managed to save enough to afford one.... I'm not exactly sure how to work it yet."

She finally hit the right button and it began to steam the milk she'd just put in. She had decided on a Snickers latte for the day. She glanced back at Touya, "What would you like? Cappuccino? Latte? Espresso? Chai? Drip coffee? This thing can make anything you desire related to coffee. Someday I swear I'm going to find out it makes pastries." She laughed lightly.

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

Touya smiled, "Profanity no but she does strange things all the time. Hmm, I don't have that problem, I've met like 5 people by now?"

"You own a coffee shop?" Touya asked with some excitment in his voice. A coffee shop was one of the few places he had yet to work at. Normal 10 year olds don't walk down to Starbucks all the time, so Touya never had the chance to work at one.

Touya looked at the big coffee machine blankly and was trying to comprehend the different options Lana had just given him, it didn't help that he didn't know what any of them were. "Errr..An Espresso?" he said after a few minutes, he could also get something else if it turned out to be gross.

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana glanced back at him, "Five? I'm not sure how many I've met but I wish I'd met all the people I talk to in the journal. It feels weird that I haven't."

She tapped her fingers then set her Latte aside to start his espresso. She hoped he liked being hyper.... "Yeah I own a coffee shop. It used to be a theater but I converted the whole front concessions area into a coffee shop. We play old movies for promotions and stuff in the theater section and have parties and gettogethers there and things. It's really fun."

She looked back, "You sure you want an espresso? They're pretty strong."

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

"Yea, just five," Touya said, "I'm not as talkative as you are and thus I don't have to meet as many people."

"Your coffee shop sounds like a good place Sakura would go to and most likely where I'd go and try to get another part time job to add along to my 15 others...," Touya commented after thinking it over a few times.

Touya gave Lana a questioning glance, "Strong? Like flavor-wise? I don't mind that."

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana raised her brows and smirked slightly, "I guess...well you'll see." She turned around and began packing the espresso then it hit her what he'd just said and she spun around, "FIFTEEN?! You have FIFTEEN part time jobs?"

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

Touya lifted his eyebrows and stared intently. The way Lana said that didn't sound good but she didn't seem to have any evil intent, or a magical presence around her...

"Yes, fifteen. Sakura goes to a lot of places, I have to be sure she's all right," Touya said with a not-caring manner, "It's usually not too bad since my friend Yukito generally comes along with me."

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana blinked at him numbly then shook her head, "Geez and I thought I was busy back home." She turned back around and continued making his espresso. She finally finished and handed him the little cup. "There you go one shot of almost pure caffeine. Enjoy"

She hopped onto the counter and picked up her latte, sipping at it and waiting for his reaction.

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

"Of course! The laugh I get out of it more than makes up for it...." (he still has that stupid grin on)

"Oh! Have you shown Kadaj this yet? He likes learning things from you! We should introduce this to him and Loz. I became a brother for them apparently." Touya said, his mind was not going to be happy with him later for the lack of logic but Touya didn't really care.

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana laughed, "So you've met Kadaj, huh? I'll show him this in the near future though I'm not sure how excited I am about the thought of Loz hyped up on caffiene."
She chuckled at the thought of it even though she probably should have cringed.
"How did you and Kadaj get to know each other?"

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

"Yea. Kadaj's nice. He seems to have a higher maturity level than Loz. I commented on a journal post he made. I think he said something about you and I remembered mentioning something about him and music I think it was. And so we chatted and we became brothers!" Touya was practically bouncing up and down by now.

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana laughed, "Kadaj is a sweet guy, he really is. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of his sword though. He called it a s....soo.....Souba? Something like that. It sure looks cool though"

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

"A sweet guy carrying around a Souba? I thought those were dangerous. That doesn't make too much sense." Touya commented after awhile, he wasn't too sure why it felt like he was talking very quickly. Touya passed it off as a lack of sleep.

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana tilted her head, "Hmmm I think he knows what he's doing with it so I don't think it's particularly dangerous. I thought it was kind of pretty. But he really is SOOOOO sweet. He says nice things all the time and he's so excited to have a friend."

Lana smiled, thinking about Kadaj. She then glanced at Touya, "Figuring out why I was hesitant to give you an espresso yet?"

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

"He's quite innocent, but you said he's like 2 didn't you?" Touya asked with a confusing look on his face.

"Hesitant? You were not hesitant at all!" Touya said with a frown. Touya walked over to the fridge. "I'm thirsty now and I definitly do not want another want of those latte things."

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana laughed, "I was so hesitant! You insisted when I asked if you were sure. And yeah...I think three is your cut off for today."

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

"No. You never answered my question when I asked what did strong mean. I'm beginning to see now." Touya said while grabbing a soda. "I think one maybe two at most for me. Three is way too much." he said while giving an evil glare at Lana.

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana grinned and raised her brows, "Don't give me that look....and I wouldn't drink a SODA if I was you, either. You might want to stick with water for a little while."

[ghost-sighter.livejournal.com]

Touya gave her a questioning glance, "What's wrong with a soda?" Touya gave the soda can a glare and held it out arm's length. "Are they triggered to explode or something?"

[percipience.livejournal.com]

Lana laughed, "No, of course not. Soda just usually has more caffeine in it and you'll start getting jittery soon if you have MORE caffeine. Besides, caffeine kind of dries you out a little so it's good to balance it with some water."
