Chapter 6
"Oh, look at the Barbies! And who are you suppose to be?"
Suiryu endured it, he sighed aloud as Nobara and the girls were dressed as Barbie, and yet, he had to dress the part by his daughter's orders. They knew who they were, Suiryu on the other hands…
"I'm just Ken" he said bluntly.
The comic con has been getting a bit of a buzz as of late, everyone was talking about Sukuna's family and their legend of Zelda cosplay. In fact, it was almost time for the contest! He knows Junpei helped Ryoto plan for this too, since after all, those who dress up, have to do some acting that portrays their characters.
He doubted Sukuna would even go along with it.
They sat near the front as they started the contest. There were some very creative aspects, but everyone was cheering the moment they saw Ryoto appear on stage with a sword in hand. His costume glowed as the lights kept dim, but it highlighted everything that he wore!
Chusi followed as she peered around nervously. "Link… Is this the right place? Are you certain? The gloom trail stopped a while ago…"
Then, the sword lit up.
The crowd roared and cheered as it did… then the lights turned red… Strange and unsettling music followed, in fact, there was red mist but it… moved as if it were alive.
"Oh? Jujutsu?" Suiryu asked curiously. But it wasn't. It was elemental… and that was Ryoto's control over it!
He was using embers of fire, and had them hover just over a body of water to give it a red affect. But that red intensified as a pair of glowing eyes and red hair came out of the darkness.
"A MERE BOY… IS MEANT TO STOP ME?! Rauru misplaced his faith… and mind by the looks of it!"
The crowd was screaming with delight as Sukuna suddenly made his appearance, he appeared to have tried to strike down Ryoto, who in returned did a perfect backflip to avoid the strike. He then stood at the ready, Ryoto then charged at Sukuna and gave out the same battle cry from the game… and everything went dark shortly after.
Suiryu could barely hear as the people screamed and cheered with delight to what they saw. When the smoke cleared and the cosplayers had their moment. They were doing awards.
Needless to say who won, at the same time…
Ryoto gave the award back!
"Thanks, but no thanks" he said politely. "I just wanted to do this with my mom and father… and it was fun! I don't need this"
People froze as Ryoto walked off the stage and his parents followed without another word.
"Is that kid stupid? He gave away the prize money!" one person muttered.
"Shut the hell up, the kid did it for fun, not for money!" Nobara snapped back. "Besides, I don't see you up there? Who gives you the right to tell what people should and shouldn't do with a prize?"
The guy shut up shortly after. It didn't help that Suiryu was staring daggers at him either!

They found them outside, Chusi was smiling proudly to her son as Sukuna… he appeared rather proud himself. His chest was puffed out a little more than usual, but he still bore a resting bitch face as he usually does.
"That was some show!" Suiryu called. "Well done bud!"
Ryoto smiled. "It was fun, I got to do this with mother and father!" he said with great excitement.
Suiryu tried to pay attention, but there was someone pestering Sukuna over something.
"PLEASE consider! We will pay for everything!"
"Huh?" Suiryu suddenly shifted his focus. "Who the hell are you?"
They were foreign men, Caucasian and yet spoke Japanese well. They were explaining they are from Hollywood and they saw Sukuna as Ganondorf. "We are working on a Legend of Zelda movie, we were originally have Ganondorf be computer animated, but… after seeing him… we could hire him to BE Ganondorf!"
Nobara looked pissed.
"OH COME ON!" she protested.
Suiryu snickered a little and peered at Sukuna oddly. There was actually a look of temptation on his face. "A movie you say?" he muttered.
Yet, he peered to Ryoto, whose eyes were now sparkling with great admiration. "Father… will really be Ganondorf? THAT'S AWESOME!" he cheered.
"Can I bring my family?" he asked.
"Of course!"
"And them too" he said pointing to Suiryu and Nobara's family.
"Uh… okay, sure!"
"Make the arrangements then," he was given a card, and Chusi gave one back. When the convention was over. Suiryu had to know why he agreed so willingly to do this?
They got back to the domain, the kids were all passed out from the event and went right to bed. Chusi took Ryoto back herself as Suiryu wanted to speak with Sukuna. When they were alone he peered at him.
"Don't give me that cock eyed look," Sukuna warned.
"Then humor me and explain why you are willing to do this… you're NEVER willing to do anything that would damage your image… so… what gives?"
He sighed in defeat, after all, Sukuna is more than aware that Suiryu would double team him with Yuuji and pester him until they get an answer. "My son… admires me… this is also something he enjoys a lot… if I can be part of it like this… then…"
Suiryu couldn't believe his ears. "Holy shit… you're actually thinking like a father!" he said in disbelief.
"Why else would I dress like this?" he demanded.
"So… you DO have father like instincts… but, why did you ask for my family to join you?"
"Insurance" he said. "I don't trust myself, leaving Japan… I am not taking the risk that something will happen and mess with my mind… I refuse to let that happen again."
Suiryu froze to this, and yet nodded in understanding. "We'll be packed and ready to go when you are. Just let us know." He said. But damn… who knew Sukuna could think rationally?
