*appears back*

Kijin I am so glad you finally got Tsuzuki off your hands, however, I have something to tell you. I am not that small.

Kijin looked up with a mix of immense relief and thanks in his eyes. He cleared his throat once and stood next to SohRyuu. His father was definitely more of an intimidating figure than he would ever be, even with Chibi Tsuzuki.

"Now, now, Father, couldn't you be a little more gentle with Tsuzuki-san?"

SohRyuu steps up from where he has been standing (All this time ^^;) and plucks the chibi-Tsuzuki from Kijin's hands and holds him firmly but not hugging him (Oh no his rep would be RUINED if he hugged him >.<) and nods to Kijin and looks at Muraki.

"So you came back." Then looks down at chibi-Tsuzuki.

"And what are you crying about!"

"Well, Hisoka-san... Yes, you would no longer owe a favor. But on the other hand, if Muraki-sensei makes you ill at ease I wouldn't want that either. I think I can manage this one on my own. Though I leave it to your good judgement to do what you feel you should do."

Kijin, if I came back, would it mean I won't own you a favour anymore? Muraki is not exactly the person, I like to see.

The paper airplane was quickly pocketed, well as quickly as one can in robes and with a chibi in one's arms. Upon Muraki's entrance, Kijin tried to sink back into a corner with chibi Tsuzuki but that failed too. He sighed and clutched at Chibi Tsuzuki as Muraki came closer. "I highly doubt he'll mind going without flowers from you, Sensei."

*suddenly appears from nowhere*

You... called, Oriya-hime? *sarcastic*

(thinking: As if he couldn't survive half an hour without me. What is this princess play all about?)

*notices the chibified Tsuzuki* Ah, so wonderful that you'd be here at last. *gravitates closer* I am truly sorry that I didn't bring any flowers with me as this all was somehow... unexpected. ^______^

A paper plane flies in the room. (how very unlike Hisoka to do this) It says:

Sorry Kijin. Just give Tsuzuki something sweet. As for what I own you, please just don't ask the impossible.

Kijin went SD for a moment at Tsuzuki's reaction to Hisoka's escape. He sweatdropped and scooped up they chibi in hopes of trying to comfort it.

With a resolute nod, Kijin padded back over with the chibi in his arms. He'd do what he did when his little sister threw a tantrum. Holding the chibi Tsuzuki aout at arms length, he smiled brightly at SouRyuu. "Here Father."

Oro? *finds himself being glomped on by Kijin* Where's Hisoka gone?
*chibifies himself*
Want Hisoka.... *starts wailing and sobbing*

Wide blue eyes fixed on Tatsumi, a deep blush creeping to Kijin's face at the Shinigami's words. "No, it's not that... It's just... Hisoka-san asked..."

Kijin... I didn't know you're eyeing Tsuzuki too O_O Argh! Noooo! *pulls Tsuzuki away* You have work to do!~ Here, clear this whole list of tasks!

Kijin blinked at Hisoka's question then nodded slowly, silently wondering how in the world he was supposed to distract Tsuzuki.

With a low sigh and an apologetic glance to SohRyuu, Kijin did what he'd seen everyone else around here doing... He glomped onto Tsuzuki. Although, it ended up being more a takcle-pounce than a glomp.

maybe, i should learn to call in sick on days like this. Kijin could you do me a favour and distract Tsuzuki while I may my escape?

But I want cake too!!!! :proceeds to pout cutely: Sempai!!!!Where are you!!!!??? :wails and throws a tantrum taht can be heard all over Meifu:

*wails* But I bought the cake for Hisoka.... *glares at Oriya* No bully Hisoka...

Sure, Saya, you can have some cakes, but no glomping of Hisoka... Hisoka is minee.... *glompz Hisoka*

now that byakko got off you
*puppy eyes* can i glomp you?

:wanders into meifu: Cake????Senbei????I want some too sempai!!!:proceeds to steal some cake from Hisoka as Hisoka doesn't like cake:

Kijin set his own slice of cake down near SohRyuu and padded toward Byakko and Hisoka. Looking down at he poor boy, Kijin smiled and offered a hand to help him up.

...
...
what did i ever do to deserve this? Byakko can you please get off me?

WAI~ CAKES~
*runs to find yuuma*

Kijin couldn't help but chuckle at the goings-on. "Tsuzuki-san really does come out when there's food..."

Kijin looked to his father as he moved to retirve some cake from Tsuzuki. "I hadn't realized you had such a sweet-tooth, Father."

Carefully dodging the crowd that amassed, Kijin took the cake back to SohRyuu and handed it to him. It was about then that the familiar voice of Byakko caught his attention. Blue eyes turned to see poor Hisoka get... pounced for lack of a better term over cake.

Where's mine? *landed on Hisoka to get to the cakes* give me a box too, tsuzuki-san! *wagging tail*

We're dead, Hisoka-kun. We're Shinigamis.... no matter how much I eat, I'll never get fat...
Don't you like your cakes?
Saya-chan~! Want some cakes? *shoves a box of cakes to Saya*

*hugging hisoka from behind and stares at tsuzuki with large puppy eyes*
cakes for me?

Tsuzuki, I am surprised that you don't grow fat. Is your body immune to all the sugar?

This is delicious... XD~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmm... how much cakes did I buy? *scratch head*
*starts counting*
let's see.... 5 boxes for me, 2 for the rest of you.... 3 for Hisoka-kun....

Before Tsuzuki arrived Sohryuu looked at the Senbei offered.
"Hmmmm...." Takes the smaller bag that Tatsumi offered and opens it up. Looks up to see Saya looking glum. Walks over to the girl and gives her the bag and turns around without a word and walks back to Kijin. He stood there solemnly as the others ate.

Tsusuki makes his entrance and Kijin waves to him.

"So Tsuzuki is here..with cake...that man does like to eat," Sohryuu then spoke louder so Tsuzuki could here him too. "Tsuzuki, is this cake for everyone?"

*singz* the power of love~~~~~~~~~

Hi Kinjin. How are you? What are you doing here? Did I hear someone talk about cake?

Kijin nodded politely to Tatsumi. "Thank you very much! I'm sure she'll enjoy these."

Just as the shikigami was delicately pressing a senbei into his mouth, Tsuzuki made his entrance. He quickly finished the snack and made his way back to Sohryuu.

"It looks like Tsuzuki-san has returned, Father." Kijin said as he waved toward Tsuzuki.

Hmm.... someone looking for me? I was on my way back when I walked past this lovely cake shop with lovely lovely cake.... So I bought some.... to make up for my apple pies.. *sheepish grin*
Want some Hisoka? *stuffs cake in Hisoka's hands* Did you miss me?

Oh! Hisoka! Long time no see... and I thought Tsuzuki was with you. *sighs* That glutton...

I won't worry about Tsuzuki if I were you. Knowing him, he as most likely gone to find another cake shop.

*hands Kijin a whole bag full of senbei* Here, you can bring some back for your sister ^_^ SohRyuu! What abt you?

Kijin turned his attention toward the person addressing him and smiled at seeing Tatsumi. His face brightened even more at the mention of senbei, very remeniscent of Tsuzuki.

"Oh, yes please!" He exclaimed politely as he padded toward Tatsumi. "Father, would you like some?"

Oh, Kijin. You're here! Just came back from a mission and brought back from some delicious SENBEI *purposely emphasized on the word hoping some glutton would hear it*. Want some?

the world of shikigamis.
*sniffles*
no place for saya ne....

Kijin nodded and his smile returned. "Thank you, Father."

A curious blue gaze turned on Oriya, the man Sohryuu had indicated, and contemplated him briefly. "I think, perhaps, you're correct, Father. I've never known anyone to think such a base thought of familial affection."

Wide eyes looked back to Sohryuu. "Are there many humans like this?"

"No you don't have to leave just yet since you came all this way," Sohryuu told his son. Kijin felt things so deeply, he always had. He hoped it would not get him in trouble one day.
Sohryuu then turned his attention to Oriya. "Look son...this is a man which I believe to have come from a disfuntional family to believe this. Observe mankind at its most bizarre."

:stops wailing after no one pays him attention:Huhhh??? :notices Kijin and his father: What are those two doing....? Incest?

Kijin's smile broadened slightly at Sohryuu's attention. He listened attentively to each word and nodded in understanding.

When Sohryuu touched his cheek, Kijin ducked his head bashfully. "Yes, that's why I'm here as well."

Hesitance laced his voice as he continued. "Do you want me to return to GenSouKai since you're here?" Blue eyes looked up and met with Sohryuu's, the fear of the elder man's rejection prominent in them.

Sohryuu saw his son hurry to his side and look up at him. He could see pure love in his eyes. He asked about Tsuzuki.

Nods

"That is why I am here too, that and chocolate cake. But Tsuzuki has been in and out and now he is missing again. I decided to stay a bit. I have an apartment outside the main Meifu. I couldn't stay in this mad house as you will soon see. But I had to see if Tsuzuki wasn't getting in over his head." Sohryuu was concerned about Tsuzuki but kept a stern look on his face.

He reached out to touch his son's cheek. "And you are here for the same thing?"

Kijin blinked once, looking toward the familar voice. All of his uncertainty melted away and a warm smile replaced it. The boy made his way over to SohRyuu, seeming to pay no attention to the others present.

"Actually, I was looking for Tsuzuki-san. I'm surprised to see you here. Are you looking for him too, Father?"

Sohryuu seeing Kijin poking around.
"Why are you here?"

Kijin wandered aimlessly about Meifu until he finally managed to find his way to the Shokan Department. He hoped he would find Tsuzuki soon just to put his own mind at rest.

He heard mention of a tight leather suit just beyond the door and blanched. The unexpected wail of an apparently distressed male caused the boy to wince. Even so, he poked his head through the door to locate Tsuzuki.

:wails:But..But you promised!!!!

Sempai is so mean.....I won't let you stay in Kyoto anyMORE!!!:slams door:
