[There's a little, blond boy pouting into the screen of his communication device. He's in the kitchen, sitting on a stool at a counter, feet kicking and eating ice cream he found in the freezer. The fact that he had to use a chair to get to it wasn't much of a deterrent, but it annoyed him.

Stupid girl. Stupid hunter-boy.

Hanabusa is not in a good mood.]

Where is everyone? Aren't there any other vampires around here?

[He stabs his spoon into his ice cream again.]

[It’s pretty late to be climbing a tree, isn’t it? Yes, it is. Yet that’s exactly what mini-Kurogane is doing: climbing to the very top of the biggest tree he could find. It’s not that tall, really, but it’s still pretty far up for the little ninja. If you’re walking under it, sorry, you might get pegged by a broken twig or two as he shuffles around up there.]

I can’t see anything from here! [Disappointed whine.] I hope Mother is alright.. I wanted to bring her fish...... Father's going to be mad at me. [Hear the intense :( in his voice.]
