Chapter 5
When Phoenix heard the words red-head, he ran. He passed by in a blur, going straight to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, he could indeed tell, that he did have red hair. But that wasn't all, his eyes, instead of lovely emerald green, they were gold with hints of emerald when the light hit them right. The color complimented his pale, yet tan, looks. His hair, to his dismay, looked like feathers sticking up everywhere, and when he calmed down, they flattened. And on his back were a pair of golden wings. He left the bathroom feeling quite silly, as he had left so abruptly.
Upon entering the room where Genkai, Yuskue, and the others were, he felt many eyes turn to him.
"Why did you go running off like that, idiot?" Genkai asked. Phoenix looked at her, his hair poofing up, showing he didn't like the attention. Phoenix sighed.
"Remember when you made a comment about my hair-color?" He asked his soon-to-be-mom. She looked at him weirdly, but nodded.
"Well before appearing here, I had hair that was black as a raven's feather, and emerald colored eyes. Genkai looked at him, the expression in her eyes showing complete surprise.
"You're hair and eye-color changed?"
"Yeah?" Phoenix said. He then shrugged.
"Oh well, strange stuff always happens around me." Genkai gave him a look saying something along the lines of, 'Ya think?'
"We will continue this later." Genkai said giving him yet another evil eye. Phoenix sat down, sighing in relief.
"OKAY!" The clapping of hands drew everyone's attention to Yuskue's mom.
"Let's see what we can do about adopting you!" She said, continuing her previous outburst.
"Your papers don't exist right?" She asked Phoenix, who nodded.
"Then we will have to create some." She thoughtfully tapped her chin. Yuskue and Phoenix shifted in their seats, not liking the look in her eye.
