The boys went silent when Himari walked back into the room holding a new set of clothes. "Himari, we were just talking about you" Ryutaro smiled.

"Really, what were you saying?" She tipped her head in wonder.

"Nothing." Leon spoke "why didn't you change?"

"Well, I just wanted to make sure it was okay for me to just take these…"

"Of course!" Ryutaro walked over to her to take a look at the simple outfit she held. "But you want something more don't you? That's so plain,how about something with diamond's? Everyone looks amazing in diamond's, well, you'll look cute in any kind jewel."

"I hate to interrupt your ever so important conversation, but can we just go get this Frieda chick already?" Leon stood impatiently.

"I'll tell you where to find her in the morning, you two will be staying with me until morning. It's raining harder out now and the monsters get rowdy after dark. You can stay in the spare room upstairs, I'll even make you two a nice dinner!"

"Really?" Himari's eyes sparkled. "Thank you so much! I haven't had a decent meal in ages, thank you!"

"Come on upstairs I'll show you where you can get washed up and changed." The two new friend's began walking upstairs.

"So I don't get a say in this?" reluctantly Leon followed.

Leon Stood leaning on the window sill of the room he and Himari were going to be sleeping in. He was watching the rain fall. Ryutaro was right they wouldn't be able to go anywhere in this weather. Himari was bathing in the other room, leaving Leon alone to think.

He was aggravated. He didn't want to stay at some freaks shop for the night, he wished he was home, even if his adoptive parents didn't care much for him. Why did he even stop to help Himari in the first place? I should've let that monster eat her, then at least I wouldn't be stuck here...never mind that, she's pretty nice I guess Leon's short period of thought was interrupted by Himari stepping into the room. She was clean and out if the rags she had on before, now just wearing a black top and dark red skinny jeans with boots. She was holding two bowls

"I brought you dinner, Ryutaro said he grew the vegetables in the soup himself." He took the bowl and set it aside. Leon silently grabbed a blanket and pillow from the bed to sleep on the floor, Himari just took spoon fulls of her soup. After about a minute of uncomfortable silence Leon spoke.

"You, um, look better without dirt on your face and without leaves in you hair, I guess."

"I'd like to think I look better like this too." She smiled and placed her bowl on table beside the bed. She grabbed her bag and pulled something out.

"Thats adorable" Leon spoke again, quietly at first, but when he said it again he was louder. He was referring to the stuffed dragon she had pulled out of her bag. It was a midnight purple color with one black button eye.

"Really? I thought you would make fun of me for having it…" Himari held it out to him. "H-here." Leon took it and smiled slightly.

"Cute!"

Well, I'm going to leave it at that for now. I think it's kind of a boring chapter, but hopefully if will be good enough until I get next part up.. Originally I was going to go into what happening with Melody and Frieda, but I'm going to save that for the next chapter. And I don't plan to take so long to update again!
