----------------------------Chapter 2: Little Innocence------------------------------

         Ren entered the living room and raised a brow.

         "Who is that?"  There was a little girl, about the age of six or seven, in the room.  She had black hair tied in a bun with two sticks in it, had purple eyes, and wore a short dark purple kimono that came right above her knees.  She stared at Ren with large angelic eyes.

 "Her name's Maya" A blue haired Ainu answered casually.  Ren noticed the girl clinging on to his friends arm rather tightly.

 "Hn." Ren let out a breath.

" I never knew you go for little kids like that." He said in a teasing tone.  Horohoro's face turned pink.

" Hell no! I'm not like that you sick asshole!"

" Oniichan! Watch what you say."  Horohoro remembered Maya's presence.

" Right.  Anyways, it's not like that.  Turns out she was heading for this inn, and I saved her from these stray dogs that cornered her.  Since then, she's been close to me like this." He looked at Maya who looked back and blushed brightly.  Jun smiled at her sweetly.

" That's so kawaii.  You found your knight in shinning armor?" The little girl remained silent and looked down at her feet to hide her face which was turning red like a tomato.

" She's quiet." Ren said in a bored tone.

" Yeah.  She hasn't talked since I heard her name."

" It's better that way," Anna said dryly, while laying down sideways, watching TV.

" I don't want some kid running around and screaming to scare away any costumers"

" Not a lot of people come anyways," Anna glared at Yoh and his comment.

" That doesn't matter."

" What about her parents?" Pilika spoke out of worry and curiosity.

" They called earlier and said she'll have to stay for a week or so.  They're moving into a town near by but need a place to stay.  Maya will stay, but her parents will be gone most of the time because they'll be busy with work.  When things are settled, they'll come to take her."  Anna turned to Horohoro who stared in space blankly.

" And since she likes you so much, you look after her."

"What?!" Horohoro screamed in disbelief.

" Why not Yoh? He's probably better with kids." Anna gave him a threatening glare.

" I said because she likes you best."  The blue haired boy shuts up and pouts.  Maya tugs on his loose yukata sleeve.

" Oniichan, what's your name?" Her voice was soft and airy like a cloud, sweet and cute.

" Right I never told you.  It's Horohoro.  And that's Yoh, Anna, Manta, Ren, and Jun, his sister, and that's Pilika, my sister." After taking a tour looking at each face and memorizing the names, Maya turned to face Horohoro.

" Horohoro Oniichan?" She asked tilting her head.

" That's too long. Horohoro's fine."

" Horo Oniichan?"

" I guess, if you have to put oniichan in it." Horohoro scratched his head and looked at Maya oddly.  She smiled brightly with satisfaction and held him even tighter.

" Horo Oniichan!" She called gleefully.  Horohoro made a small smile, seeing how cute she, in fact, was.  Ren turned away from the site and pretended to be interested in what was on TV.  He somehow felt awkward from seeing them.

well, that's it for chapter two.  As you can see, this chapter is really just to explain how the setting will be for now.  The jealousy and stuff comes later on.  I promise.  Thank you for your time.
