PAIRS and Returned Scent:
Usako couldn't believe she was perceived as nothing more then some exotic pet a Blue Nitro would want. Not that she ever thought what she would look like in a bejeweled cage made to look like her home. Groomed or dressed up like she was some prized animal when ever she would shown off. Had her so angry she almost fell the edge of the cloud-like feces produced by Monkey King. Coco tightly grabbed her around her waist and tightly held on to her while trying to change her mood.
"You shouldn't allow this to bother you." He trances the outline of her face. "To me, you're an exotic animal that shouldn't be locked away."
"More like a high level capture beast that shouldn't be walking around." Lexxion commented in quiet matter.
Flourite slammed his hand over Lexxion's mouth to keep him from further saying anything or ruining his parents' moment. Reminding the teen how he could have died along their way on gathering Acaicia's full course. So he could shut his mouth before one of the fellow intelligential and fantastical primates. Ended up 'disciplining' Lexxion for making what he would deem a snarky comment about his parents. Best choice Lexxion had was to pay attention to his combo partner and stay quiet.
Until then, Lexxion turned his attention to small scene of Sani's Satan Hair releasing what was left of Toriko arm. Flourite further kept his hand over Lexxion's mouth during reattachment process. Wanting Lexxion to learn something when Komatsu used he's revival knife technique. On a stump of what was left of Toriko's arm that seem to halfway re-connect to the chop off arm. Those careful strokes from Komatsu's knife and already connecting tissue were a sight. Within in seconds Toriko was already testing feeling of sensation within his arm. Sani was the one that first said how he was verbally happy before attention was drawn to the set up a revived Komatsu put together in extracting essence of PAIR. The drops were coming so slowly that not everyone had Usako or Komatsu's endless patience. Sani had to point out the pace the drips were coming and how many sentient beings there were. Everyone else that weren't Coco and Usako would get the first part of Sani's statement. That had Usako up on her feet and making her way over toward PAIR while her took a seat.
"Everything we went through for this little something!" Usako just stared. "One of those times, I agree with Sani."
She would have brought up if shocking sight didn't have everyone on alert and some ready to strike. No that there was anything to hit since Zebra's arm went right through Kaka's form first off. Had Komatsu telling them she was the alley he met when he was within the in-between worlds (living and spirit). Had everyone coming down so they could hear what this Kaka had to say. What a story she spun about how they needed to prep had Usako estimated 4 to 5 days plus an extra week. Before she could ask for shorten version everyone had to have their two senses in. This left Usako to go back to staring at PAIR along side Komatsu before smallest hole was noticed. Before anyone could asking Komatsu or Usako about this supposed hole that was found.
Komatsu held his Derous Knife very carefully and slowly taps the side of PAIR just once while Usako and everyone watched. Out poured contains of PAIR in the form of a rich soup stock with flavorful taste. Right off had Kaka in shock out Komatsu could find such a easy means to open PAIR. While Toriko was already handing out bowls of gathered PAIR to happy monkeys hand full by hand full.
"Something wrong with what I am giving you?" Usako would come to ask Flourite upon handing a bowel.
"Nothing." Flourite lingered in trying any.
Lexxion decline both his parents since he wanted so share with Flourite since his mouth was still covered. Flourite would uncover Lexxion's mouth after getting him to nod his head in agreement to keep his mouth shut. Before the teen could open his mouth to say a single noise or word he got mouth full of PAIR. He gulped down while staring at a smirking Flourite the whole time he swallowed.
"Only way to keep your smart mouth out of trouble." Flourite would lean forward to kiss his forward.
This had Lexxion looking cross eyed at Flourite not noticing a settle change in Komatsu's uncovered area. Unfamiliar hands that had his mother's softness and polished nails ended up covering his eyes. What stopped him from talking was when almost baritone voice told to keep his eye close until other wise.

When that Crabbus brought everyone to Area Seven including a very hairy face by the name of Zonge (much to Usako's surprise). This Zonge openly objected to the blonde beauty having the body of a man. Before he could share what features of her male form he hated upon first laying eyes on her. A few Area Seven's native Primates stared at Zonge before they went running off flailing limbs and all. Leaving a male Usako to walk passed a shocked Zonge like nothing wrong with her. The person she wanted to talk to was excited Rin looking forward ot laying her eyes on Toriko (she hadn't seen him just yet). Flourite on the other hand was meeting with fellow saiseiyas about PAIR's fruit. Lexxion was left to sit off somewhere neat fully mended Denshark with his eye still covered (his mother blindfolded him). Excused to keep him from not seeing a bare chested Komatsu.
"What's he's problem?" Flourite could come to ask Usako.
"The fact I don't have visible cleavage for him to gawk at." Usako answered.
That Flourite would come agree with while a blind folded Lexxion whined about having his eyes covered. A unified 'No' came from male version of his mother and still male Flourite as his form of an answer. Left the teen to seat there while filmier face after face stepped out from the inside the Crabbus joined the party. Two in particular faces after going over a few important subjects with Komatsu. Ended up getting Lexxion with one removing his blindfold with motherly care asking how he was. Other asking how he journey and what he came to learn when in the company of both his parents. Instead of answering Chiyo and Chin with words he got to his boot clad feet and hugs both of them. This was welcomed gesture by Chiyo asking Lexxion if he had anything to eat beside PAIR.
"No and….WHAT HELL HAPPEN TO EVERYONE?" Lexxion got a full sight of his uncles and parents.
Chin had to calm the teen down while Chiyo said how she forgotten how excitable some one Lexxion's age could get. Giving Lexxion a bowel of Magma Consomme and chucks of Sandoriko mixed in. He took while told his uncles and parents would return to normal if they sip PAIR once more. This had him nodding and missing out on what Kaka would tell everyone else about Acaicia and next Eclipse. True reasons behind Gourmet Cells existence were revealed and how they came to be. Had Flourite making a joke Usako could be called Queen of the Trolls due to her beauty. This got his leered at by her informing him he was lucky he didn't take full measure amount of PAIR (hinting at how Flourite only took a sip of PAIR and not a full gulp). He rolled his eyes at her stating he doesn't did like being women anyway. Being that child birth wasn't a pretty picture and beauty maintenance was a daily routine.
"You try shoving something the size of Oasis melon out the size of a Peadoughnut." Usako looked toward her son.
"I wish you never experience that alone." Coco would approach her.
Usako sighed at the painful memory of when she pushed Lexxion out of her womb had her grazes her fingers over her covered stomach. Had her turned on her heels and approaching a bickering Rin confronting Toriko about his female form. She waits for the girl to finish her obsessing before asking for something. That something was an item straight from Usako's estate back in the human women. That was to be brought to Usako when the second camp was to be established in Area Seven. Just Rin was not help so someone else ended up handing Usako a worn satchel buckle shut. The thanked the person before disappearing just when Kaka was kidnapped and Kuriboh appeared.

Usako couldn't be found anywhere on Turtloon during the feast that was held by Kuriboh while everyone ate. Her son could be found sleeping in Flourite's arms with a full stomach and tuckered out. Flourite was writing down what he learned so far about AIR and PAIR in a notebook while holding Lexxion. Coco would pass and stop wanting to know ask Flourite where Usako was. He was told to not look for her since Starjun's presence kind of placed her in bad mood. Not that smile she wore, when Buranchi complemented her on added spice of her beauty (wasn't noticed by Coco). Still she walked off in need of changing her clothes and wearing an odd head piece. Humming this strange song until her voice and figure disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
Didn't mean Coco wasn't going to find her when he listened to what Kuriboh had to say about the Black Triangle, and getting rest of the ingredients. Who was working with whom and what food ingredient they would get was announced. He unlike Sani introduced him self to the person he was chosen to work with before excusing him self. All this news he wanted to inform Usako on before splitting up. Walking through out the Turtloon along, looking in places that had bits of Usako's electromagnetic waves.
"I wish you allowed me to say goodbye from a distance." Usako's voice caught Coco off guard.
"Why didn't you tell me about the arranged combo between you and Starjun?" Coco asked.
"Didn't want my son raised by a narrow minded pycho." She answered.
Their conversation ended with Coco reaching out and brushing his fingers within inches of Usako's cheek. Some how stilled Usako to point he watched her breathed in nostrils full of oxygen in hurried matter. She then pressed her nose foreword until her nose was pressed into Coco's clothes chest.
"Your smell!" She yelled able to scent the sweetness of Coco's natural poisons. "….Coco I can smell you…."
Coco was quite surprised this about her as he allowed her to press her nose into his chest and take a deep breath. A lung full of Coco's scent being a mixture of fruity and musky based smells she hadn't breathed in for a LONG time. They had aged will since last time she could smell Coco was when he was small child.
