"Chicken Boo, what's the matter with you?
You don't act like the other chickens do.
You wear a disguise
To look like human guys,
But you're not a man, you're a chicken, Boo."
It was a beautiful, normal day at the flower shop. Or, as normal as can be in the life of an assassin. With Omi busy at the cash register, Youji was helping Ken with a very heavy fichus tree. Rather, he was directing while Ken was lugging the tree back and forth across the storefront.
"Naw… I think it looked better to the right."
With a sigh, the ex-soccer player heaved the plant up, again, and started across the floor. Peering through the leaves, he caught a glimpse of a very familiar orange sweater. "Hey, Aya." He said, skirting the form in orange.
He never understood what Aya saw in that ugly sweater, other than the fact it was orange, of course. The redhead prized it over all other garments, and refused to let anyone else touch it, much less wash it…
A clucked response to Ken's greeting made all coherent thought stop. Eh? He retraced his steps to the figure in orange, watering the flowers. It wasn't Aya standing there. It was a very large chicken in his prized unsightly sweater. Eeeh?
"Hey, that's a good spot… As long as Aya doesn't trip over it, and kill you."
Ken craned his head to glare at the offending party. "Ha, ha, ha… What's up with the chicken?"
Youji looked blank. "What chicken?"
"The chicken in Aya's sweater."
The entire shop went silent, and the tall playboy cringed, as the orange-garbed being turned to Glare.
Thankfully, Ken was spared any harm by the ringing of the bells on the door, announcing the arrival of a very familiar woman in scarlet.

"White Hunters, hunt the tomorrows of these Dark Beasts!"
Fabulous. A mission. Not just any mission, but a mission with a giant chicken. Ken eyed his leader doubtfully as the other accepted the case file from Manx. And the chicken has red ear-tails.
