Current music:	Morphine - Have a Lucky Day
Entry tags:	kiriko, misaki, reizo, takumi

Who: Reizo, Kiriko, Misaki, Takumi
What: Reizo's having a very fun day.
Where: In the back alleyways near school.
When: Monday evening
Why: Because everyone hates him.

Reizo pursed his lips and dabbed gingerly at them with a rolled up strip of blood-smattered cloth he’d finished pulling off of the bottom of his shirt. His lip was busted, and his knuckles were torn from having hit so many people in the mouth, but beyond that and a few bruises he was no worse for wear. He sighed and leaned back heavily against the chain link fence the box he was sitting on was positioned against, and surveyed the scene he’d just created. Several other boys were all laying on the ground, most unconscious, but a few were groaning and holding various parts of their beaten bodies. Looking almost unimpressed-- either by the paltry numbers or the lack of real injuries he’d managed to inflict-- he fished a bent cigarette out of his pocket with a bloody hand and tucked it between his lips, lit it, and tipped his head back to stare up at the sky.

He knew the others, the cowards, were a ways off, surveying him from a distance. Would they bother attacking him now that their numbers were lessened? Did they have some sort of ace fighter like he always saw in the movies, just waiting to show up at the end and beat him to a pulp? He decided it didn’t much matter as he stood up, grabbed his school jacket and moseyed off. Every encounter seemed to be getting more vicious and he didn’t feel like waiting around for more morons with bats to show up. Pretty soon they’d be showing up with knives.

He turned a corner, ignoring the sound of rapid footfalls on cement behind him. They stopped a distance away and he knew they were just gathering up their beaten members to properly tuck their tails between their legs and speed off. Something of a smile tugged at his lips as he heard the footfalls again, slower this time and accompanied by a few groans.

It almost amused him. Almost.

"No no, it won't fall off. It would need lots of bad germs in there. My Kaasan is a scientest, so she told me about this when I was little. I used to fall down a lot and worry all the time about it too. But you know what...as long as you already took care of it, the germs will go away." Misaki took the cookie and smiled at Kiriko. She wondered if Kiriko would make a better big sister then her. She never seemed to get upset or worry too much.

Handing it to Takumi Misaki tilted her head, "Reizo-niisan was just making that up to get you to put it on so you wouldn't get sick. Want to know a secreat. Reizo-niisan acts tough but he cares a lot about people and things. My grandmother always said you can tell how a person will treat things by the way they keep their house."

Reizo returned with a dark, normal t-shirt. It was obviously worn, the color had faded from a vibrant blue to something dulled and bordering grey. Two phrases were printed on the chest: The Man and The Legend. An arrow was attached to each claim, one pointing up towards the face and the other pointing downwards, towards the wearer‘s crotch. Well at least it was PHYSICALLY clean.

He wasn’t close enough to hear just what Misaki was saying to the kid, but the way she leaned over conspicuously towards him made it evident enough: it wasn’t something she wanted him to hear. The dark glare he was wearing by the time he was close enough to hand the shirt off to Takumi was withering.

“What’re you whisperin’ about, Rabbit?”

Taking the shirt with his small hands, Takumi put it on with some difficulty - it was a bit larger than his usual clothes, and he nearly swam in it. It was after his head popped out of the collar that he realized Kiriko-neechan and Misaki-neechan were talking. Head moving back and forth as though watching a tennis match, Takumi looked puzzled.

"What are you guys talkin' about?" he asked, finally taking the cookie from Misaki-neechan. Nibbling on it to test for edibleness and taste in general, he quickly took a larger bite.

The dark look evaporated, replaced instead by one of almost gentle annoyance. Reizo could always swear he felt his eye twitch. Misaki’s cluelessness was adorable at times, exasperating at others, and sometimes, just sometimes, he wanted to kick her, but that feeling was thankfully rare. .. Thus far.

“How nice I am?” He rumbled out the question, more to himself than the others, long arms folding over his chest as he half-watched Takumi struggle to pull the shirt on and the two girls yammer. He’d never really expected them to hit it off, but here they were.. In his house, baking or cooking.. He couldn’t remember what the plan had originally been, just that this was all, somehow, his fault. Except for the brat, anyway. The brat was just a side effect of his new house.

Casting a baleful eye down at the much younger boy, he ushered him far enough away from the girls in the pretense of helping him grab something out of the cabinet, but once he was hunkered down in front of it and pretending to look through it, he tipped his head casually towards Takumi and with a low conspiratory whisper asked: “So which is prettier? Dark or pink haired one?”

Practically skipping after Reizo-niisan in his excitement, Takumi continued to eat the cookie and watched Reizo-niisan quietly as he crouched down in front of the cabinet. Still nibbling, Takumi blinked when Reizo-niisan asked him which one was prettier. Looking over at the two girls and then at Reizo-niisan, Takumi blinked again.

"Umm... Kiriko-neechan, I guess," Takumi said after a long moment. Tilting his head, he asked, "Why? Does Reizo-niisan like one of them? Or..."

His eyes grew wide, and of course his voice rose slightly. "Ehhh? I don't think I'm old enough to have a girlfriend, Reizo-niisan!"

And then he looked back over at the girls, hands still clasped around what was left of the cookie. Leaning closer to Reizo-niisan, he whispered, "Does one of them like me..?"

Hey you two, we're ready to finish these and eat. It's getting late," Misaki called out to them and then giggled at the comment from Takumi. She had caught his voice about who was cuter and it made her pause. Misaki glanced over at Kiriko and had a mental sigh. It was true in a lot of ways, Kiriko was tall, shapely, had a fine face, elegant looking brow and looked way more mature then Misaki. Her hair was the perfect black, and her skin was just rightly tan.

Where as Misaki had always been on the slightly pale side, redish brown hair like her family, and big eyes. She looked like she should have been in middle school not high school. She'd dyed her hair to stand out more from her sisters. Maybe people didn't see that as cute.

Reizo stared gravely at the young boy, before giving a solemn nod and patting him on one of his tiny shoulders. It was odd to see the large boy, who looked positively massive hunkered down next to Takumi, looking so serious at him.

“Not just one, both of ‘em,” He whispered to Takumi in a low, serious tone, “And you’ve got to pick one before the night is up. See, where they come from, cooking with someone is like askin’ them to marry you.. And you already agreed to it.” He heaved out a sigh, tossed the boy the best sympathetic look he could, gave a shrug of his wide shoulders and stood back up.

Well, at least that proved to make the night a little more amusing. When he looked back at the two girls, the look he swore he saw flash across Misaki’s face almost gave him pause. It’d been a set-up for the joke, and surely neither girl would be crestfallen at a little boy picking one over the other, but he admittedly had no experience with either of them in the whole ‘girl’ department, so maybe.. Well, that look had just been imagined, right? They hadn’t heard him ask the question…

Frowning, he made his way back to the girls.

“So what’s left?” He asked Misaki, peering curiously into her face, and leaning a bit closer than he meant to.

One could almost hear Takumi's brain shattering into a million pieces. Reizo-niisan couldn't be serious, but he would never lie to Takumi either. Reizo-niisan was a brave, honest, strong man. It would be impossible for Reizo-niisan to tell a lie!

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" Takumi exclaimed. "I can't get married! I'm too young and Mama would never go for it and Miko-chan will get all weird and, and, I don't want to marry any of them! I wanna marry Reizo-niisan!"

And, in a dramatic flurry, Takumi threw himself at Reizo. Arms wrapped tightly around Reizo's legs, Takumi sniffled. The last line was expressed in a shout, so frazzled was Takumi that he forgot his "indoor voice."

Almost. Because this was a serious situation.

Misaki blushed furiously when he did so and quickly ducked her eyes not to look at him, "Uh...we have to put the fillings in and fold up the dough and such. Er..."

She turned and looked at Takumi with a 'What the hell' look, or at least one that she could muster. She looked at Reizo, then Takumi, then Reizo again and then burst into a grin. "Well congradulations Takumi-kun! I'm sure you and Shirai-san will make a lovely married couple. I'll work on the cake for you."

	Kiriko clapped her hands together in a display of enthusiasm that she was apparently channeling directly from Misaki. "We should marry them right away, don't you think?" She smiled down at Takumi. "Then you and Shirai-san will never have to be apart! Wouldn't you like that?" Of course, her sinister intentions weren't far hidden beneath the surface... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Reizo stared down at the young boy attached to one of his legs, eyebrow cocked and any sort of amusement in his face draining away. An array of emotions kaleidoscoped across his face, ranging from shock to mild anger, and finally settled on one of annoyance when Kiriko stepped in. He wished desperately for something to throw at her then, but the closest thing at hand was Takumi, his cookie jar, Misaki, and a phone.. And as much as he wanted to toss Takumi at the girl, he didn’t think he’d ever hear the end of it from Misaki.

“Hilarious,” he responded dryly to the two of them, rubbing his forehead and looking back at the boy. He shook his leg in an attempt to shake him off. “Guy’s can’t get married to other guys!”

	"But it would be really cute!" Misaki giggled. "Besides it's just pretend Shirai-san. Not like Takumi's going to like you like that when he grows up. He's going to be far too worried about girl's chasing after him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"But I caaaaaaan't!" Takumi whined again, clinging harder to Reizo's leg. "I told you, Miko-chan will pick on me and-" He stopped, staring at Misaki-neechan with wide eyes. Girls were going to... chase after him? He clung harder still to Reizo. "That sounds scary!" he exclaimed, hands fisting around the material of Reizo's pants. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You won't think it's scary when you're older," she muttered.

Absently, Kiriko wondered if Reizo was used to dealing with this. Naturally, he must be - this kid was his neighbour, and they seemed familiar enough that Reizo was "niisan" and the go-to person for boo boo healing. Maybe he had a soft spot for kids or something. If Reizo weren't such a terrible role model, it might be kind of sweet.

"Besides, guys can so marry guys. And girls and girls, too." She looked to Misaki. "Right? So, we'll get married if you get married."

	Misaki nodded, "Exactly! Shizuka-ane has a friend who's married to the guy that he liked in high school. Okay then, we'll do a wedding for you two. That way you can always be with Reizo-niisan." She smiled at Kiriko, glad that they thought alike. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The annoyed acceptance on Reizo’s face displayed that he had indeed dealt with this before, and with the patient way he walked over to the couch with Takumi still attached stubbornly to his leg hinted that he’d also had the kid holding onto his leg for dear life before. He shook him off with a hard shake of his leg and sat down on the couch, leaning forward and stretching his pant’s leg out with two hands to inspect for snot-- relieved, he leaned back into the couch and crossed his arms stubbornly over his chest after turning the television on.

He stared almost serenely at the television. Apparently he’d decided to ignore them on this particular subject.

(("And they spent the rest of the day cooking."

+1 social link for everyone but Takumi, because he doesn't have a social link. <3))

Eyes wide, he merely gaped at Kiriko-neechan and Misaki-neechan. W-would they really let him marry Reizo-niisan? That'd be amazing! Clinging harder, Takumi began to giggle when Reizo proceeded to walk with him still attached. Pouting when Reizo shook him off, Takumi clung to Reizo's pants again.

"Another one~?" he asked, pouting and eyes wide. His attention was diverted though when Kiriko-neechan called him over, and he immediately ran over to help. Mama would be so proud to see him cooking! Maybe he could bring some back home...

"What should I do, what should I do?" he exclaimed, bouncing eagerly.
