Souten walked down the stairs, stretching after a good night's sleep. "Morning Hiten!" she said cheerfully as she walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Shrimp why are you so happy?"
She shrugged. "I just had a good sleep."
"Good sleep equals happy sister Brother Hiten." Manten said smiling.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Hiten said kicking his feet up on the antique dining room table. Souten then walked over to the counter and got breakfast ready.
"Are you busy today Hiten?" Manten asked conversationally.
"Yeah, Bankotsu and Jakotsu are coming over to discuss business. Remember Jakotsu and Bankotsu right Souten?" He asked, ending a bit loudly.
"Right."
"The gay ones, brother?" Manten asked raising an eyebrow with a joking smile. Hiten just nodded.
"…Don't remind me of that factor Manten." Hiten said smirking. "Almost done in there Souten?"
"Yes, it's coming now." She walked out balancing the plates and set them down on the table.
The two young men dug in and Hiten paused simply to say: "Great stuff Souten, like always."
"Of course it is. I made it." She said proudly.
"So what are your plans for the day, little brother, little sister?" Hiten asked finishing the plate and looking at his younger siblings.
"I'm just hanging around." Souten said simply.
"I have to say the same."
"Well Yura's coming over after Jakotsu and Bankotsu leave, so…well be out of the house after 4'o'clock."
"Not that we'd wanna be around to watch you guys kissing anyway."
"Hey! Shut it Squirt, you'll do it eventually!"
"Yeah, but it's still disgusting."
"Ya know Souten, it's about time you gotta boyfriend…." Hiten started.
"Yeah, yeah, heard it all before."
Hiten laughed. "And your point? You're gettin old, kid ya need someone to have fun with!"
"Well." she grinned mischievously. "Maybe I do," with that said, she ran out the door yelling, "see you later!"
"Whatever, such a strange kid." Manten said shaking his bald head.
After she got out of the house, Souten walked off in the first direction that came to mind, towards the park. After walking around a bit more, she sat down, or rather, laid down, on a bench, staring up into the sky. "Can I join you Miss Souten?" A young slightly sarcastic voice from behind her came. Just then Shippo's head appeared in her line of vision.
"Oh, hey Shippo." She said smiling.
He jumped over and sat down on the arm of the bench. "So, what's up?"
"Nothing much, you?"
"What do expect, I have NOTHING to do." He said sighing.
"Heh…same here."
"Yeah. Life sucks." He said shrugging.
"Yup."
He nodded. "So what do you wanna do today?" He asked.
"I dunno, what do you want to do?"
"Lets go walking."
"Alright."
So they walked out of the park. As they walked by a flower stand a man looked at Shippo. "Flower for your girlfriend kid?"
Shippo pulled some money from his pockets. "That one." He said pointing to a yellow rose with black tips on it. The guy handed it to him and took the 5 dollars. Shippo blushed and handed the rose to Souten.
She took it, her face slightly red. "Thanks Shippo."
"No problem. I thought you'd like it." He said somewhat vaguely.
"Of course I like it."
He blushed a little more and looked down. "Good. I'm glad." He mumbled. She grinned and ruffled his hair. He laughed slightly and tugged her pigtails. "Stop it!" He said jokingly.
"Oh fine…." She said pretending to pout. "You know what Shippo?"
"Hmm…?"
"Hiten was telling me to get a boyfriend." She smiled. "I told him I already had one."
"Huh?! You do? Who?"
"Take a guess." She said playfully.
"Not a clue."
"No really. Take a guess. Who's a boy that I hang out with a lot? You know him already." she hinted.
"Uh…oh! ME?"
"If ya wanna be that is."
"Sure."
"Yay!" she squealed as she hugged him.
He hugged her back with a small smile. "Do I have to meet your brothers now?"
"Probably. Hiten'll just bug me till I do."
"Hey Shrimp why are you so happy?"
She shrugged. "I just had a good sleep."
"Good sleep equals happy sister Brother Hiten." Manten said smiling.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Hiten said kicking his feet up on the antique dining room table. Souten then walked over to the counter and got breakfast ready.
