Chapter 2: Moving In

After the brief meeting with Konoe ended, Watari went back to his office. Yumi had already found it, and was scanning through a book while feeding 003 a cracker, not even noticing all the crumbs it left on her shoulder. There were several small pyramids and skulls spread around her desk, and Watari noticed that the total amount of stuff, especially paper, had quadrupled. Being a fellow scientist he understood perfectly and didn't mind at all. He smiled as an amusing thought entered his head, "Tatsumi's gonna have a coronary when he comes in here." Not wanting to disturb her he quietly sat down at his computer to do some work. A knock at the door made him look up, but Yumi paid no attention, instead choosing to pet 003 on the head.

"We're here with a few more of Chishiki- san's things." A voice called.

"It's open!" Watari replied.

The first items they dropped off were a few boxes. Watari glanced into one and saw a clay imprint of a skeletal hand. Under the print was a small gold inscription that read: "My First Discovery" in a flowery scroll.

He was curious and continued to rummage around in the box since Yumi didn't seem to mind. In a short while he heard another voice from the door, "Excuse me." He looked up to see a giant sarcophagus looking down at him.

"Ack!" Watari exclaimed as he jumped out of the way. "Is that really necessary Yumi-san?"

Giving him a response for the first time since he had entered the office, she said, "Of course it is! This just happens to be a full-size replica of the sarcophagus that King Tutankhamen's primary wife was buried in! It's a wonderful treasure that I refuse to part with!" Yumi ventured over it and inspected it to make sure there was no damage during the transfer.

Watari calmed down considerably and said, "Ah, a lady with great power, that might not be so bad. I knew this office needed a woman's touch."

Tatsumi was greeted a bit differently at his door. When he entered a bright flash blinded him. "Aw! Your glasses are going to leave a glare!"

Tatsumi blinked away the spots that danced before his eyes. And looked around at his office...Dear Enma! What happened to the walls? Every inch was covered with pictures and photo clippings. And the floor! There were boxes everywhere, which he assumed to be photography stuff. Mounted on his desk was big autographed photo framed in silver. He picked it up and read the signature: "To My Photo-Princess Miyu. Love Tomokazu Seki."

"Isn't he dreamy?" Miyu sighed beside him, staring lovingly at the picture. "I took that during one of his tours with Weiß!" She pulled out a silver locket and opened it. There was a mini version of the same photo. "See? I take him with me everywhere!"

He politely smiled and handed her the photo. "You have interesting taste in decorations. I can tell you have a very lively personality." Miyu blushed and smiled, taking the comment as praise.

"Miyu-san..."

"Oh! Please, you can call me Miyu-chan, Tatsumi sempai!"

At the moment, Tatsumi decided a darkroom would be a wonderful addition, no matter what the cost. He once again made a mental note. "Well then, Miyu-chan, we'll need a little more space for your desk and some shelves. Here, I'll even help you organize a bit."

"But what will we do with my stuff? My photography things need a safe dry place for storage."

"I'm sure the Chief will agree that your photography skills will be most useful. A darkroom will be provided immediately."

Miyu clapped and laughed. "Yay! But my Chichiri UFO doll stays with me!"

Tatsumi simply agreed.

Then something popped into Miyu's head. "Oh yeah! Tatsumi-sempai, can you help familiarize me with your system so I can set up a web page? Tsuzuki is so cute that I think I can make a lot of money off a pay-per-picture site! For helping me I'll give you a special discount! And your first photos are free!" she giggled.

Tatsumi's fake smile began to hurt his face, but he agreed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miyu: Moving day has always been a pain. But Tatsumi is going to get me a darkroom, so look forward to some great photos!

Yumi: Miyu! Who gave you permission to start the dialogue?

Miyu: (sticks out tongue) You gave me permission to start this dialogue. Has your brain turned to dust with your last boyfriend?

Yumi: No, but I'm surprised yours hasn't atrophied from lack of exercise.

Miyu: Hey, I get plenty of exercise... Thunder thighs!

Yumi: What did you call me you sugar snorting donut hog?!

Miyu: Better a hog than a pig like you! I wish you'd go clean your office!

Yumi: I wish you'd just go away!

(They continue arguing despite the fact that Watari's lab has exploded right behind them)

Watari: I found it! My potion! Tsuzuki!

Hisoka: (Doubling over in pain once again and Tsuzuki goes over to him and carries him to a different room, with Watari close behind carrying a vial)

Tatsumi: (Adjusting his glasses) I guess I get to finish up this time...everyone else is a bit busy right now...so, please keep reviewing. The review we received did wonders to calm them down, which saves money in our damage costs and cuts down wasted time on the job.

Just a little extra note: the next chapter gets more into the plot with shinigami stuff... but we felt the need for a transitional chapter-we thought it gave insight to our characters, despite several people disliking OCs (but hey, several people still write them, so i figure it doesn't truly matter whether or not people like OCs, they can choose not to read after all). Anyways, it does get better, we promise!
