Ch 9: Jun and Genki
Several more days past and the weekend came along, the weekend when Kukiko would return home to see her family once more and did she miss them!
Once Kukiko decided to go, she found herself bringing Yoshimori with her to study the Karasumori site. Although she offered if Gen would come too, he refused, and Tokine, she had plans to train more. So it was only the two of them. They left on Saturday morning, since it took a few hours to get there. When the two finally arrived, Yoshimori's mouth hit the neatly paved walkway. This house was far larger than his own and Tokine's, I mean seriously, it had a third floor. Kukiko led Yoshimori to the front door and unlocked it, turned the handle and walked in. Almost immediately was Kukiko tackled down by two little kids; one a girl with tidy straight brown hair and the other a boy with unruly dark brown hair.
"Whoa, Jun, Genki, calm down I wasn't gone that long." Kukiko said, trying her best to pry off the younglings.
"But we missed you," cried the little girl.
"Yeah, and it's been more than a week since you left, you promised to come home earlier!" the little boy wined.
"Oh, it's been that long huh, whoops I guess I lost track of time, sorry." Kukiko explained, scratching the back of her head.
"Who's that?" asked the little girl who finally took notice of Yoshimori' presence.
"Oh," Kukiko cried as she jumped to her feet, "this is Yoshimori, Yoshimori, this is Jun and Genki." She pointed to the girl first, then the boy.
"Hello there!" Yoshimori greeted.
"Hi!" Jun returned.
"It's nice to meet you" Genki replied.
"Kukiko, is that you?" asked the woman who had just appeared in the doorway.
Kukiko smiled from hearing that voice, "Mom, yeah, it's me." She said hugging her mother tightly.
"You must be Yoshimori, right."
"Oh, yeah, that's right." Yoshimori said.
Kukiko's mother, Yoshimori thought, was still relatively young, probably no older than 34. She had short dark brown hair, light brown eyes and a warm, motherly smile.
…..
After everyone got acquainted, Kukiko and Yoshimori got settled into the comfy chairs of the rather large library. They already gathered stacks of books and had them piled on the nearby table. Then, they began to read about the Karasumori site.
"Hey, look at this!" one would say when they found something interesting or a "Wow!" when they learned something new.
But after hours in the library, they didn't find all that much facts. They were tired, and hungry, so they took a break. Since it was such a nice day, they ate their snack on the porch, watching Jun and Genki play with a ball. They talked about what they found out and what pieces are still missing from the puzzle. Then the sun began to set, and they all went back inside to eat dinner, after they were finished, Kukiko and Yoshimori decided to head back home. Since it was about 7, they should be home at 10. After a long good-bye and hope to see you again soon, they left.
The ride home was long and tedious. Neither had a good conversation starter, so they sat in an awkward silence for an hour or so. Well, I guess it wasn't that awkward; they were both quiet and were lost in their own thoughts. Then Kukiko got this feeling that she heard little voices from outside the door, that continued to grow louder and louder. She almost thought it could've been Jun and Genki, until they came through the door, she discovered that it was not only Jun and Genki, but also Satu, their family's demon dog.
"What are you doing here?" Kukiko asked.
"We wanted to come with you!" exclaimed Genki.
"Yeah, is that so wrong?" Jun asked Kukiko.
"Yes, it is, does mom know you're here!"
"Of course, we asked her if we could come."
"And she said yes?"
Jun and Genki nodded at this, "She said we needed to escort some one to Karasumori since she should go."
"Really, and who might that be?"
Right after she said that though, a wolf came into view, it was pure white and had soft, glowing lilac eyes.
Upon seeing this oversized dog, Kukiko's face brightened and she ran over and gave the wolf a hug, "Satu!"
"Oh, hello again, Yoshimori." Jun greeted the forgotten friend.
"Yoshimori," Kukiko almost yelled in surprise, "this is Satu, the Tamasai family demon dog."
"Hello, it's nice to meet you." Yoshimori said.
Satu said nothing, only bowed her head to say same here.
"Wait a sec," Kukiko started to say, "where are you two planning on staying?"
"With you, of course!" Genki cried.
"But I'm staying with Gen" she thought for a little, "Oh man, he's not going to like this."
I just realized, i never mentioned Hakubi and Madarao, hmmmm, weird. also, i don't think i have said a DISCLAIMER yet, so here it is DISCLAIMER: i do not own kekkaishi and probably (yeah right) never will.
