The Adventures of Skull and Ri
7.3: Adopting the Kids, Part Three
Enma and the rest of the kids in the house stared as Ri-chan stepped into the kitchen in a suit. Not any suit either, it was three piece suit of black with a severely tightened tie of dark charcoal. His hair was free of any highlights, and his sharp green eyes eerily staring out from behind a pair masculine black frame glasses.
No make-up.
Damn, was the collective appreciative thought as they took him in. The man's shined loafers gleamed as he stepped almost silently towards the counter under the cup cupboard. Only the slightest of clicks coming from his heels denoted his presence and movements.
Skull flitted in after him, a rather star struck look on his face and a gleam in his eyes that caused all of them to color. However, it was largely ignored by Ri-chan who went about his business smoothly and easily. However they all caught the following action with interest.
The usual cup of tea in a cheery mug had been replaced with a cup of strong black coffee in a steel to-go cup. He glanced at the teens and arched a brow.
"Good to go?" He asked, and his voice was just a touch husky, dangerous. A tone that suddenly showed why the usually silly, but quite kind, Ri-chan was someone who could keep up with the Acrobaleno, even leave a few of them in the dust. His slicked back hair was pulled back in a low ponytail, a single curl dangling down over his forehead, a jagged faux-scar, highlighting the real one on his forehead.
Repeat: Damn.
If they collectively nodded as a group, well, it should have been expected. Ri-chan nodded and sauntered out ahead of them. The Simon Family dutifully followed him out to a large van and climbed in. The lens in Ri-san's glasses blackened as the sun hit them and he slid into the driver seat.
"Buckle up," he said, "We're going."
Enma found that he was more than willing to follow Ri-chan anywhere he'd go. The car pulled away from their home and they traveled to school. The children climbed out and were surprised to see their homeroom teachers, the vice-principal and the principal all waiting like a group of convicted prisoners who all paled when Ri-chan appeared. He strode ahead of them without a single look at them from him, a single finger twitch telling them to follow.
They followed like reluctant ducklings after an angered mother.
The Simons' watched all of this, mouths slightly agape, before breaking out into collective smiles or smirks.
Being a Potter seemed like a good thing.
