Unexcepted Gifts:

Being reunited with his mother after she came back from her adventures was something Lexxion never took for gradated. Since every time she would come back with souvenir for him, or they meet at disclose location. Place she chose this time around was the First Biotope with his dad and Komatsu as his chaperons. To make the travel easier on 3 she provides money on a laminated card, Boxed lunches, and tickets for Gourmet Carriage. All delivered in ornate box on back of her Unizebra to Coco's home some time during nighttime.

Lucky the only person who met the Unizebra was a still awake Lexxion dressed rather warmly for cool night. Bribing an Emperor Crow with food was harder for teen then he thought when trying silence Kiss. Meant using the last of his Gummi Earthworms and Minmin Jellies to hand feed the ornery Crow. Seemed to work since Lexxion could work in piece by unpacking what his mom sent.

"Always a show off." He noticed how she packed the contains.

Lids of the bento boxes had pictures of her Intimidation of Veteran Geisha hiding her face behind painted fan. In those painted over eyes that were narrow slits was a fury that no beast living or non-living. Would be handle to stand if they could with stand being stared at for more then five minutes. Since after that amount time they would end up being completely paralyzed from head to toe. Making him lucky Lexxion lucky he would never witness his mother's Intimidation. Not that he wanted to after getting a full description from Flourite when he was a child.

He had to put aside to bring the items inside his father's home with out making a noise knowing someone would wake. Setting the items in kitchenette area of Coco's home was easy part for the teen. It was stepping back outside and finding what to do with restless Unizebra seemed to the trouble. Kiss didn't have a problem around this creature as Crow stood just inches from Unizebra.

"Did mom even fed you before sending you here?" Lexxion asked Shiro while taking her reins.

What he got was a thrashing of Unizebra's head waving her long mane around like she was trying to say no. Leaving him to sigh while placing a few items in Unizebra's saddlebags meant for his mother. Making sure to engage the locking mechanism of the bag's lid before watching Unizebra leave. Not that he stuck around to fully watch the stripped horse's image fade into the night. When he wanted to get back to his laptop where a half done entry was waiting to be finished. He was up loading his latest dishes he had for dinner at the hands of his father's latest guest.

Who was known other then Komatsu for reasons that neither Coco nor Lexxion did even know. Didn't mean he was turned away when requested to stay the night at least by Coco when he showed up. Resulted in a Fondue and Hot Pot Party with lots of tasty food Lexxion never. He ended up taking LOTS of pictures while asking questions he recorded on digital recorder.

"Back to work." Lexxion sighed turning on his heel.

He ended up getting some help form Kiss to return to the roof of the dome that made up the first floor of his father's home. Where re-opened his netbook to reveal in progress blog entry needing pictures. Would be downloaded from his camera through a USB cable in a matter of a few seconds. To end up sorting through them for best shots and posting them on his in progress blog. End with him clicking submits with the arrow controlled by his mouse in the shape of a Cheese Rabbit. After proof reading and spell checking his work with careful eyes that caught all his mistakes. Corrected with ease to only have window program was running in become closed. Electrical devices ended up being shut off and placed in a message bag hanging off Lexxion's shoulder.

Not he was left with getting to the ground by three options that would have him stepping through the front door. He didn't want to do since Komatsu had been placed there during his stay here. Meant he would go through a way meant straight in to his dad's bedroom with much trouble. Over to the two-story tower beside the dome he would walk trying to not slip off the roof. When he found his balance with each clear step he took developing a cat-like grace his mother has. Allowing him to safely come to lock window he figured gave him a chance to use a learned trick.

"Glad I still have you." He pulled a familiar black feather from outer pocket of his massager bag.

He slipped through panels of wood that held the glass slowly moving the feather toward the latch. Pushing up the brass piece of the lock in one quick upward movement that allowed the window to be opened. By him placing the feather back into bag's pocket when he quietly leapt through. Making sure to place the window back the way he found it before turning around relieved in a way.

He had excepted to find a scene his mother usual put on for him when catching him returning home late at night. She could be found in a silk robe that covered whatever nightdress she decided to wear. Lecture she made him listen to after forcing him to sit down lased for hours and left him irked. Unlike now when he would was settled on his own bed after discarding his bag and boots. He removed his sweater and Ferbie Truffle hat when he got the under covers slowly giving into sleep.

Ready for another night of his prophetic dreams

These vivid imaginings were dancing blurs he could never make out mo no matter how he tried. Some were pleasant and never really bothered unlike ones that made him wake up in a cold sweat. May have been the reason he had become an insomniac when nighttime rolled around. Didn't mean he never forgot a single one he had thanks to notebook he usual puts every one in. Using a pen filled with the ink from a sack of a Ballpoint Squad his mother kept in her basement. Writing tool it self was in the shape of an unbloomed Rose Meat Flower with stem still attached. Could be found in the wire binding of notebook that laid under her pillow his head was on.

Could be grabbed and written on by Lexxion when he needed to recorded what he dreamed about. Not that he rarely shared the contains he wrote down with anyone who weren't his mother, or Flourite. Soon to be Coco when he could find courage to tell him about this 'gift'. Not that he did know about Coco's own fortune-telling ability due to the man's enhanced vision.

"May be tomorrow..." He mumbled drifting into sleep.

Last thing he would see before his eyes naturally closed shut was the picture of him and his mother. Still hanging on Coco's wall staring down on him as he started to enter the slumbering state. No noticing coloring of his hair would completely change into a soft blue with pink twist.

Sitting upside down on a chair in his father's dining room with listening to his Ipod through drumstick shaped ear buds. Was never considered odd or bad table manners for Lexxion by his mother at meal times. Being that he was always straightening him self out when food was presented, or place on the table. Ended up startling dozy Komatsu when he wandered into Coco's kitchenette after waking. To find fully awake teen chewing on a mouthful of Waffle Fries playing form ball.

"Want some?" Lexxion points to his waffle fries.

A set out meal of Ham and Eggplant beside half-gone Waffle Fries lay out on the section of the table. Wrappers of everything had been placed in were properly dispose in waste bin while bag stayed behind. Words 'Happy Burger' in cartoon style lettering that had a smiling burger in middle.

"Does your mother or Coco approve of you eating... THAT?" Komatsu asked eyeing everything.

"Dad gave me same perimeters of what I'm allowed to order and mom sorta-of owns the place." Lexxion recalled.

Conversation between them turned to why Komatsu was even here since he did have busy job at Hotel Gourmet, and usual went on Gourmet Hunts with Toriko. Barely having any personal time on days off he seemed to be using right now. Revealed Komatsu came here to try and heal a broken hurt that came from a 1-sided love. He carried toward and formed after first meeting Usako those months ago.

"Yeah, Sorry about that." Lexxion understood Komatsu's words. "Mom's flirtatious nature tends to leave certain men..."

He sighs pulling his ear bud from his ears in quick tug while he rolled forward on to his feet exiting his seat. Pocketing his Ipod listening the MANY men his mother dated and never allowed pass home plate. How in ways she would toy with only a certain few to get what she wanted or needed. Others she used for other necessities using tricks to get them hot and heavy with out even touching them. Half the time she was just sat down to quiets tea with them to pass the time.

"Her meeting you are the strangest, unplanned, social meeting ever took place." Lexxion shrugs. "Your also the first actually friend she's ever had...so..."

He ended up sitting correctly in his seat staring at the last of his Waffle Fries trying to go on with what he what to day. To earn some-what half smile from person he seemed to cheer up in his own way. Who would join his meal by pulling up a chair and looking over what he start his first meal of the day. Answering Lexxion's other questions about coming here to get away so he could heal emotionally.

"Can you help me figure out what's so special about second Biotope?" Lexxion asked about where he was supposed to meet his mother.

Out he pulled the stuff his mother made one of her animals partners bring while she was Gourmet god's knows where. Everything that was being provided for their journey had Komatsu's head spinning. Boxed lunches he unlidded would not touch with his bare hands were artistically done, and filled with rare ingredients. Cash amount on the card given to them to spend on what they want was HIGH. Exclusive ticket for Gourmet Carriage almost gave Komatsu a head on stroke. Didn't bother Lexxion one bit when he munched on more Waffle Fries trying to take with mouthful.

To only have Komatsu doing most of the talking about his first visit to the First Biotope with Toriko. Blush of embarrassment that formed on his face when he talked about the entrance into the Biotape. Not that he avoided not going into detail about the sterilization process that invades your privacy. Quickly moving on to the Research Lab and Gourmet Coliseum that interested Lexxion. Everything else that was spoke about was just icing that further pulled teen in.

"Knowing mom when it comes that Coliseum." Lexxion huffed. "By now, she's made her self-apart of the fight."

He didn't want to go on how his mother in her youth would always want to be the center of attention, or main attraction. Always needing to be apart of what had been happening showing off to people. Putting on an act to gain unwanted eyes on her always left her to try harder for stares.

"Being raised up until I was five around that behavior left me rather apprehensive about being with girls." Lexxion repositions his chair.

"Does your mother know?" Komatsu asked worried about Lexxion ever having a girlfriend.

"Quite happy since discovering I'm attracted to Flourite." Teen looked down toward his seat.

Komatsu ended up smiling slightly at the confession was making toward a first love that his father's age. Not that the way teen spoke of ground's keeper that worked for him mother was bad guy. He always showed a caring heart toward Lexxion whenever he was distress from training, or returned from guidance trip. Being there as a shoulder to cry on when something never went right for the teen. Making sure he at least ate healthy enough meal that wasn't always sugary treat. Even went as far to help him prefect his learned skills for battle and molded his Intimidation.

"Any way to get a hold of him?" Komatsu thought aloud. "For him to join us..."

"WHAT?" Lexxion ended up biting his tongue when he yelled.

Chat ended when teen's tongue started to bleed when he bit a little to deep when startled. Komatsu ended up stumbling out of his seat to get to Coco's kitchenette fridge to get ice. Trying to say something about teen having a fast healing factor like his uncles in fear he couldn't get doctor, or a Saiseiya. Not that Lexxion could say much with almost cut in half tongue and mouth filling with blood. Worst part for the youth had to be the acidic and metallic taste his blood had. Upon gliding over his own taste of his own hurt tongue he wished he didn't bit down on.

"Take your time!" Lexxion mumbled flinching when he spoke.

Pain alone of trying to not move his hurt tongue while he loudly spoke to worried filled Komatsu. When he accidentally spat out his own saliva mixed with blood that he learned how potent his natural toxicants was. Where ever the saliva/blood lands that ate through the surface before dissolving into the air. He ended up closing his mouth completely to he wouldn't spit anymore. Fearing he would further make a mess of something he was still coming to understand about him self.
