XD Yes, I agree that 6 children is ALOT... I got carried away.

Ren Pirika's Children:

Riku:

Riku is a 14 year old in 9th grade. He has his father's navy blue hair, only without the spike and his mother's azure-blue eyes. He is often very moody and has high ambitions. Girls seem to bother him alot and for the worst, they seem very attracted to him like bees to honey. He is a pessimist and many say that he is EXACTLY like Ren was when he was Riku's age. Like Hana, although he does nothing to impress anyone, seems to be highly respected. He is very antisocial and only has a few friends, all of them very loyal. His few friends include Hana, and Honoku. (He is a very experienced and incredibly strong shaman for his age.) His spirit: Spirit of Water

Rini:

Rini is a 12 year old girl in the 7th grade. She has azure blue hair and golden eyes. She is Keiko and Yuna's friend. She has a very outgoing and fun character. For her, an egg hatching or a flower opening is a cause for great exitement. She tries to bring out the best in her silent brother and understands him very well. She tries to show her brother patiently that the world is an infinitly hopeful place as it is in her own eyes. Many people find that through this young girl, they see the world as a peaceful and exiting place. She keeps a close eye on Honoku... (She is a Daoshi, but through her aunt Jun's urging, her father has decided that it would be best not to give her a corpse.)

Rini stared happily out the window from the car. "Oh, Onii-chan! We're finally going to visit aunt Anna and uncle Yoh at their beach house! Aren't you excited?! We can dig for clams and watch them bury themselves back..." She sighed contentedly and leaned back on her seat, her chin resting on propped elbows.

Riku stared out the window through expressionless half-open eyes. He didn't really think digging in the sand and looking for things inside shells was particularly interesting, but he had no intention of telling his sister. "Hmm..." he replied. His sister continued to talk. Pirika, from the front seat, smiled. She turned around and gently patted her son's hand. Riku payed no attention and stayed motionless. He hated the car. The dents made in the bumper where he had kicked it a year ago proved it. He hated the loud rumbling of the motor, hated the smell, and hated how he was constantly jerked up and down. He hated how the seat belt kept him from being seated comfortably but he had decided it was better than ending up at the hospital with a concussion and several over-attentive nurses like he had a few years ago. He would have perferred to walk of course, but it was past even him to walk the 370 miles from his house to his uncle Yoh's beach house. His only consolation was his i-pod player sticking out of his back pocket.

He leaned his forehead against the cool glass window of the BMW and closed his eyes to keep from having a migraine but opened them again when he felt one of his earphones come out from it's place in his ear. He glanced at Rini, who held the earphone between her thumb and forefinger, waving it and smiling at him as if asking for permission. Riku nodded and his sister happily stuck it in one of her own ears and immediately made a face. "I can't hear anything..." Riku sighed and retrieved his i-pod from his back pocket and turned the volume up a bit higher. "Oh, I hear it now... Stacey's Mom? I've heard that way too many times... Can I change it, Riku?" Riku shrugged, tossed her the i-pod and closed his eyes again. Suddenly, loud music blared from the one remaining earphone stuck in his left ear. Riku made a noise between a groan and squeak. His father glanced at him from the rearview mirror. Riku immediately took out the earphone and handed it to Rini. Rini grinned and stuck it in her other ear. Riku then took the i-pod, turned down the volume and returned it back to his sister. Rini looked sheepish. "Sorry!" she told him as Riku turned back to the window.

It's going to be a long ride... Riku thought. And an even longer stay. If Riku had any choice, he would have stayed home. He hated loud noises and crowds and there was certainly going to be much of that at the beach. Stupid tourists. The Blue Island beach was one of the cleanest in Japan and that was one thing that attracted many people during the summer. Then, it was located near a very famous tourist spot which was an island a few miles off the coast and tourists came pouring in ever year to ride to the island. Almost angrily, Riku had always thought that it was hot enough without the idiot tourists but he knew that he was being selfish and said nothing about it. The world belongs to everyone, he knew.

He clapped his cool hands against his damp forehead. They had been driving for only an hour and the migraines were starting. It didn't help that there was a traffic jam and that probably meant another few hours in the car. Sourly, Riku thought, We HAVE 37 jets. Why not just use one of them? and sighed. He became very unreasonable when he had headaches. Pirika, knowing fully well the reason for the long sigh turned to Ren. "I'm going to turn down the air conditioner, alright?" Ren looked at his wife through the corners of his eyes and nodded. Riku looked at his father in the drivers seat. His navy blue bangs were stuck to his damp forehead and he looked weary enough. It was very humid and hot outside and Riku knew that his father hated the car as much as he did. "No, you can leave it on." Riku said quietly just as Pirika's fingers touched the knob. Pirika cast her azure blue eyes on Riku. "You sure, hon?" "Onii-chan, it's best to keep the a.c. off when you have a headache..." Rini smiled openly at her brother. Riku smiled slightly back. "Mm... I'll be fine." He tilted his head back and closed his eyes.

Rini cast her attention back to Riku's i-pod. She loved moving her fingers in rings on the circular surface of the i-pod. The list goes up... and down... Onii-chan sure has alot of songs here... After she had skimmed through all the choices, she picked out a song and listened to it happily, nodding her head in rhythm. She started humming loudly. Next to her, Riku stirred and Rini quieted down. Instead, she picked up the boquet of roses lying in the back seat and inhaled deeply. "Aunt Anna's going to love these, mom. They smell so nice!" Pirika smiled. "Glad you think so. The whole car smells of roses now, doesn't it?" Rini grinned and nodded. "Hai! I also can't wait to give everyone the presents we got in Europe. Do you think they'll like them?" Ren smiled from behind the wheel. "We spent a fair amount of money on them, didn't we?" Pirika rolled her eyes to the roof of the car. "Ren, they're our friends. How can you think of money?" Ren chuckled. "It's true." Pirika sighed. "Just don't tell them and I'll be satisfied." Ren playfully nudged her. "Of course." Pirika smiled and looked lovingly at her children, RIni, who was still smelling the roses, a look of pure bliss on her face, and Riku, who was sleeping with a peaceful expression on his face that was rarely there. Pirika turned back to her husband and smiled again. "Lets find someplace to have something to eat. I know both you and Riku may not have much of an appetite but you two can have some soda to keep your food down and I can take the wheel, k?" Ren nodded and blew at his bangs. Rini clasped her hands together. "I was starving. Thank goodness."

Next is Horohoro, Tamao and their children! Review, pleese?
