"I still can't believe you confronted Yoshimori without me!" Himeka exclaimed. "You can be such an idoit somethimes."

"I am not. I just think-"

"Gen, look. I can do this. Can you act like a good friend and just trust me?" She looked in his eyes as a wave of silence hit them.

"...Last thime i did that I was almost eaten." he pushed her out of the way and knocked on the Sumimora's huge door.

"Hey! That was not my fault that that evil rock tripped me! Are you listening? GEN!"

Shuji opened the door to find Himeka pulling Gen's cheeks impossibliy far far. The two didn't seem to notice him so he cleared his voice. Himeka looked up at him with a look that a toddler would have after getting caught steeling a cookie from the cookie pulled her hands off his face and bowed.

"Um are you two friends of Yoshimori's?" he asked looking at thier school uniforms. "I'm really sorry. He's at school right now."

"Is the head of the family home right now?" Gen asked. "I've come from the Urakai. I would like to see the head of the family, please."

Himeka rolled for eyes at Gen. Always so strait to the point and formal.

"U-urakai?" Shuji exclaimed. "Oh come right this way." He showed them to a room and told them to wait while he got the family's head.

Gen's eyes darted everywhere in the room. He was uneasy for a reason that Himeka couldn't quite understand. She wanted to ask but decided against it. Instead she thought of ways to make him mad for later. Gen got up to leave but Shuji came in.

"Why that's strange. Where'd he go? Ah, Shishio-kun wait a second. I'll brew some tea really quick."

"Ok." he said and sat back down. Shuji left and went to go get the tea.

"It's uncommon for Dad to go off like that and not tell me. I bet he's visiting with one of his friends nearby. Let me go check. Can you wait?" Shuji said as he came back with tea. He offered them a treat which Himeka took greatfully. Gen, on the other hand, rejected it.

"No thanks. I hate sweets."

Few moents later-

"Eh? You know Masamori?" SHuji exclaimed.

"Yes. I am indebted to him." Gen answered politely.

"Oh, Masa-kun? Yeah we know him." Himeka said before sipping her tea.

"What do you think of him? Isn't he great? Why is that you ask. Because he is my son! here I'll be right back. I wanna show you something nice." He zoomed off to god knows where. He came back and slammed a photo album on the table. "All my kids are splended but look at him! He was great even back then!"

A raven shiki tapped on the glass and Shuji opened it only to have it skid across the floor. Himeka put her hand over her mouth to control her laughter. it was too much!

"Oh, it's one of Toshimori's shikigami's. He's not very good at it yet but he's a good and honest kid. And Yoshimori is a kind and lively kid!"

"I'm home~!" Yoshimori's sleepy voice rang. "Dad...what are we going to eat? huh?"

"Ah, welcome home." Shuji said calmy.

"YOU! I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU WERE AT AT SCHOOL! BUT YOU WERE AT MY HOUSE!" he exclaimed.

Himeka watched the scene play out before her. Gen was trying to go but Shuji was trying to convince him to stay longer and Yoshimori was yelling like an idoit. Himeka was about to say something but was interupted.

"Yoshimori! You shouldn't say such things to a friend!" Shuji yelled.

"But he's not my friend..."

"What's going on? It's pretty loud over here." Shigemori said as he came into the room.

"Oh, dad, where have you been? We have guests." Shuji said softly.

"Oh. I see."he said when he saw the two Urakai cards(?) on the table.

"Can we talk in private? Himeka, you don't have to stay. I'll explain." Gen offered.

"Okay, Gen-chi. I should go get my stuff anyways."

"Stuff? WHat do you mean stuff?" Yoshimori asked finally seeing her existence. "Hey wait- you the new girl in class today!"

"Yoshimori, this is Himeka. She's Gen's partner and she's staying with us since it's improper fpr her and him to share a room." Shuji explained.

"She's what?"
