Two more mischievous children ran around the corner of the immense book shelf, moments before he was about to turn himself. They ran passed him giggling evilly as they looked back towards Jubei. He chose to ignore the foolish children and make his way to the proper location of the book he was holding. He walked down the long aisle for several minutes as he looked at the reference numbers posted.
"Ok cool...So it should be...right...here!" Jubei shouted excitedly, as he looked upwards and realized he was just a bit too short tor each it. Looking about, he found a small step ladder several feet away. Quickly he grabbed it and arranged it to be utilized. The ladder provided enough reach for the young mage to look and find his book was not there!!
"Tch...What the hell is going on here?!" Jubei said angrily in a low tone, still not wanting to disturb others. However his frustration was building. It should be taking him this long for such a remedial task. As soon as one could see from the distance, his anger, a laugh echoed down into his ears. He turned his head sideways to face his left, and could see those same two mischievous children from before. They were leaning their heads around the corner and staring at Jubei, laughing at his pain. Jubei zeroed in his vision on the book the child was grasping in his hand. Sure enough it was the book he was after.
"You dirty little Bastards...." Jubei said gritting his teeth. The two kids took off running still bursting in tiny fits of laughter. Immediately, Jubei dashed in their direction with all of his energy. He left a tiny crater the size of his foot, from the impact. It only took a few moments before Jubei reached the children, who were just several feet from reaching the front door. Jubei didn't bother reaching out to grab them, instead he kept pushing forward. He collided in the back of the first child, who went smack face forward into the child in front of him. All three of them went tumbling out side, and down the stone steps. Jubei got up slightly aching, but simply dusted his clothes off. The other two children were hurt, one was whimpering softly from the pain, as the other was knocked out cold.
"Oh my goodness! You children are playing too rough! Come apologize, and help them up" Comes the cries of one random passer by who saw the scene unfold. She was one of many concerned parents who were walking by. Jubei just started at her for a few seconds before making his way towards them. He reached down as if to help the child up, and instead reaches to grab the "Doctor Krinkle" book laying next to him. The woman looked at him horrified, as he made direct eye contact with her, staring coldly into hers.
"The hell with these misfits, you do what you want bitch."Jubei said, still fighting back his rage of anger, due to the time wasted from these kids actions. Jubei walks slowly up the stairs, as if to show he truly did not care about those little hellions behind him, nor the opinions of the nosy citizens. Although this village was rather peaceful, it had a huge host of internal issues. All seeming to spring from the youth with nothing better to do. Jubei hated this younger generation, they always wanted something for nothing. Worst of all, they had too much time on their hands, and not enough responsibilities to do.
"Oh my, are you ok hunny?" the woman asked worried about what just happened. She was on the opposite end of the library, but still had a wide open view of it all. Jubei simply smiled to her and laughed it off.
"huh? O everything is fine. Its just a game the kids love to play." Jubei said simply to the woman as he hands her the book. She stared at Jubei with a perplexed look upon her face, in response to referring to them as children. She shook her head and smiled before saying,"Well, if every one is fine. Thats good." The librarian said after recording all of the information of Jubei's client. After receiving his book, he made his way out the doors, where even more people seemed to be gathering. The child knocked out cold was being placed on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. As Jubei walked out, several people gave him cold stares, which he simply returned. However his eyes would show his true sinister nature, causing the other civilians to lose their nerve and turn back away.
"Yeah, I didn't think so." Jubei said laughing slightly at them, before he progressed towards the clients home. Jubei already began making plans of visiting the local Tavern that night. Now he needed a strong drink, and maybe a bar fight or two.
