Hakusho or any of it's characters! Are you with me? Yay or ne!?
Friends & Countrymen: Um . . .
Me: Just say "yay" so we can get on with it!
Friends & Countrymen: (Shrug) (Flatly) Yay.
Me: (Rolls eyes) (Shrugs) Close enough. Just don't sue me, okay? Many thanks! ^_^
Author's Note: So, okay, I haven't gotten any reviews (except one, but she doesn't count ^_~). However, this is a story based on sub-characters anyway, so I didn't, and still DON'T expect any at all or any time in the near future. However, for anyone who does just happen to stumble upon this story, takes a chance, and decides to read it, well, I'd appreciate some reviews. So, please read and enjoy. Thank You!
Chapter: 2
"See? Walk the dog." Said Rinku happily, as one of his yo-yo's touched and skimmed the floor for several seconds before sliding back up the string and into his little hands.
Jin grinned widely as he was often known to do, blue eyes sparkling.
"Cool." He said.
He was learning some rather interesting slang from hanging around Rinku and Chuu lately, and he found he rather like the informal language. Jin was growing fond of Rinku, the troublesome kid was actually pretty cute sometimes, and as for Chuu, well he wasn't a bad guy. Pretty exciting to be around actually. Touya wasn't quite as stimulating, but the red haired demon related well to him anyway, he always had. All in all, Jin was more than happy with his new group, and he thought that they all were too.
"Wanna see another one? I have a whole bunch more that I could show you!" Chimed Rinku suddenly.
Jin chuckled, and placed hand on top of the kid's head, then proceeded to tussle up his hair a bit.
"Hey!" Rinku protested while he swatted at Jin's hands.
Jin winked at him. "Show me later, I've gotta get something in my stomach or I'm going to starve. Why don't you go show your tricks to Touya. I bet he'd like to see 'em."
Actually, Jin knew very well that Touya probably didn't want to be bothered with such child's play, but they both found themselves humoring Rinku more and more lately . . . and since Chuu had wandered off earlier that morning, well it was up to he and the ice demon to look after the kid, even if Rinku really didn't need it. Both of them felt a strange obligation to do so anyway.
Rinku sighed. "Naw, I can't find him, and a demon like Touya could be anywhere."
"Well, I tell ya what then. When I come back a little later on, I'll make it up to you by taking you flying."
The boy's eyes brightened. "Really? You will?"
Jin winked and gave him the thumbs up. "Yup, I promise." And with that he left the room, lounge bound, as that was where they kept a generous buffet.
He closed the door behind him, and turned to begin walking away. His first few steps appeared to be jinxed though, because the moment he took them he ran smack in to somebody and stumbled backwards.
"Woah, sorry about that." He said out of reflex, but then looked at the person who he had collided with. He recognized Koto, the pretty judge and later announcer that had been in the tournament. He apologized again, this time more sincerely.
"Here, let me help you up." He offered his hand to her, as she had lost her balance and actually fallen. She took his hand, and he pulled her to her feet. She bowed.
"Thank you. I'm sorry for hitting you."
Jin shrugged. "S'ok. It was team work on both our parts." And with that, he walked past her, mind set on something to tame his grumbling stomach.
Koto watched after him. He was one of the nicer demons she had come across in her lifetime. Oh well. She pulled out a sheet of paper with a few scribbled numbers on it. This was it. Third floor, room number 163. She'd gotten the number of Chuu's room from the desk clerk down in the lobby. She decided that she needed to see him again, talk to him, something. She just felt that she needed to.
She sighed and put the paper back her pocket, then knocked lightly on the door. At first there was no answer, so she knocked again, this time a little bit louder.
"Just a minute!"
She heard a muffled reply coming from inside. The door opened suddenly then, revealing a small boy, who she remembered as Rinku, Chuu's little companion and winner of the very first battle.
Rinku leaned against the doorframe, his eyes looking up at her. "Can I help you?" he asked.
Koto fidgeted with her hands. She had to do this though, she couldn't back out.
"Maybe, um . . . is Chuu here?" She asked, ears slouching slightly from nervousness.
Rinku tilted his head, and narrowed his eyes. He seemed to be studying her when all of the sudden his eyes widened in realization.
"Now I recognize you! You're that judge that Chuu liked, Koto, right?"
She nodded. "Yes, I am."
"Hm, well, Chuu isn't here right now, we don't know where he wandered off to, but he's been gone for a while, which means he's probably out of sake. He'll most likely be coming back soon to get another bottle. So if you want, you can come on in and wait for him." Offered the child politely.
Koto smiled. He was a cutie!
"I'd appreciate that very much." She answered, and Rinku led her inside.
She took a seat on one of the two couches; Rinku sat on the one opposite.
He folded his legs up to his chest and rested his chin on his knees. His bright eyes settled on Koto, and he gave her a calculating look. An idea hit him, and he smiled.
"So, would YOU like to see some tricks?"
Friends & Countrymen: Um . . .
