Ryuji had already been at this little restaurant for perhaps about twenty minutes or so, give and take.

This was a nice little place - open until late and the food was great enough. Plus, he didn't have anywhere else to be so he didn't mind sticking around. Hearing someone else entering the place, he couldn't help but listen, lifting up his head in curiosity. Before he could stop himself, he piped up. "You made a damn good choice dude - the beef bowls here are fantastic," Hell, he was thinking of ordering seconds for himself.

"Great for a cold day like today too,"

[jigento]

❝ ain't that the truth. if i didn't find a place soon, i'd end up freezing my nuts off out there. ❞ after situating on his seat, he craned his neck back to peak out the front door. ❝ heard it's supposed to start coming down any minute now. hopefully it holds off until after i'm done eating or else i'll have to walk the rest of the way home in the snow. ❞ he shifts back towards the only other customer in the joint and regards him with a nod. ❝ let's see if my luck with finding this place carries over. ❞

Fuuka lightly tapped the end of her pencil on her cheek, wondering if she could just push this homework of hers to later tonight. It was a Thursday and the homework for this class wasn't due until Tuesday. ...so MAYBE she could skip a day? Fuuka groaned and ran her fingers through her hair and pulled out some strands.

"Take Chemistry 2, they say. It'll be easy, they say. College will be so much fun, they say." She rolled her eyes and laid her pencil down on the paper and looked around the library. Fuuka knew she could easily study in her own condo that Mitsuru got her, but her home had so much distraction that she'd never get homework done. Ever. Though, something else was distracting her--a poor student snoring from... exhaustion? Sleep deprived?

Fuuka felt sorry for the poor boy, though it made her smile and reminded her of how Junpei would do the same thing. Only it was in the dorms and not at the library. She could see his eyebrows squinting in pain, or was that frustration? Fuuka needed a break and knew the boy did too. She walked over to the boy and laid a hand on his table. "Do you need a snack or something to drink? You look like you need a break."

[jigento]

a simple grumble under his breath alerted the other to him rousing from his troubled wink of sleep. had the lights in the library always been that blindly bright ? kuwabara lifts a hand to rub the sleep and drowsiness off his face before hunching back over the table with a yawn. ❝ hm ? sorry, was i bothering you ? ❞ another yawn plagued him, forcing him to sit up straighter and finally notice the spot of drool he'd left on his textbook. ❝ i probably should grab a bite and take a break-- you're right. ❞ he answers her question, hoping its enough to cover the way he nonchalantly wipes at the pages. ❝ uh... thanks for waking me by the way. ❞ when his attempt to wipe the drool ultimately leaves a smear instead of wiping it dry, he opts to close the book and swivel towards her. maybe she didn't notice. ❝ actually, sorry to bug you with this, but could you give me your opinion on something real quick ? ❞ kuwabara motions towards the cover of the hefty tome in front of him. ❝ do you think intro to law would look good on an application for law enforcement recruitment ? ❞

"Good morning Kazuma," Warmth bleeds from Kurama's tone, his indifference over the human's shock obvious with a single look. As always, Kurama looks the part of a calm and expected friend - even if he so obviously hadn't been. It's probably a testament that he's spent too long in the demon world in recent months, too much time spent in Makai and not nearly enough time spent pretending to be human.

Although, it wasn't exactly like he had a choice in the matter, someone had to keep an eye on Yomi and his son, even as they played picture-perfect demon family.

"Your door was unlocked," It most certainly had not been, judging from the glimmer of gold in his eyes. "I decided to drop in, see how you're doing. I made some tea."

[jigento]

❝ it... was ? ❞ a quick swivel towards the front door of the apartment reassures him that since entering, everything had been re-locked. he was sure it had been locked when he and shizuru had gone to bed. ❝ weird... wait-- hey ! you just came in and made yourself at home !? ❞ his lips parted to go off, but he held everything back. kurama's being here was probably some spirit or demon lock-picking that he had yet to be informed on. that was a conversation for another day. this, here and now, was a simple house call, still didn't sit right with him though. ❝ fine... so you're just checking in ? casually ? no threats or dark warnings or anything ? ❞

A LITTLE YELP would resound throughout the woods itself, as Itsuki straightened up into view. Her hands raised up into the air like she was being held at gunpoint then.

She simply hadn't realised how intently she had been watching, the moment she had stumbled upon this bro training all by his lonesome out here. For while she was no stranger to such a sight (Heck, she was pretty much SURROUNDED by touch bros like him back at her school. Even being tasked to feed them fellas on a day-to-day basis), this was certainly the first time she had seen someone train with just the hilt of a sword.

"Hey-- ah was jus' passin' through, bro." She quickly assured with an embarrassed smile, slowly lowering her hands back to her sides after awhile, "Ah was gonna leave ya be, promise. But ah jus' got curious, when ah saw ya practicin' wit' jus' dat."

[jigento]

bro. the word spoken through her lips sounds foreign, but earns a chuckle. there was no threat from what he could see, however, he had been wrong with his judgment of character in the past. taking her at her word for now seemed to be the best most from a strategic standpoint. he would worry about whether or not she was dangerous later. what could she do given that he was practically armed already. ❝ passin' through the woods at this hour ? ❞ he cocks a brow. ❝ you're walking a dangerous line with that. could be worse than stumbling on some guy smacking trees around. ❞

not me wanting a fantasy verse for kuwabara...

[jigento]

the fact of the matter was that he had tried. studying had never been his strong suit, nor did he put in the effort to actually do it, but with classes and part-time work forcing him to take up some level of responsibility, he opted for at least attempting to put the same level of effort into both. the only downside to his efforts was that he was practically exhausted whenever he showed up to the library. it earned him a rather poor reputation with the poor librarian that had to continually shush him for snoring while other patrons were looking for silence. with an embarrassed apology, he returned to half-heartedly burying his nose into his textbooks.

his day starts out as any: pulling himself out of bed like a zombie rising from the undead and shuffling to the bathroom to freshen up, splash some cold water in his face to wake up, and make his way to the kitchen for breakfast. the one thing he wasn't expecting was to see kurama seated at his kitchen table with a cup of tea in hand. the yankee froze in the doorway, desperately trying to think of how to address the situation. he had barely taken the time to change out of his pajama pants, and his typically coiffed hair had been unceremoniously pushed back. ❝ uh... good-morning ? the hell are you doing in my apartment ? ❞

the fact that the train into town left on time was a miracle in and of itself. there were concerns with the weather being as bad as it was-- typhoon season and all that, but things still kicked off, albeit slower than expected. as the rain continued to batter the windows, a sudden announcement over the intercoms cuts through the silence. ❝ due to hazardous weather conditions and mild flooding, we will be stopping the train and awaiting redirection to avoid the worst of it. thank you so much for your patience as we ensure that your travel is a safe one. ❞ kuwabara sighs, noting the reactions of the other passengers before sliding down in his seat. they might be there a while.

❝ ah... fuck... ❞ he grunts to himself, tearing more paper towels from the dispenser, wetting them and dabbing at the cut along his hairline. it'd be easy to hide, but it was still a pain that the guys from the next town over got a good hit in. as the stall door unlocks behind him, he quickly rinses out the sink, tossing the towels and returning to washing his hands. if he didn't draw attention to anything, maybe it would go unnoticed.

one. two. dodge. three. with de-bladed hilt in hand, kuwabara follows a series of steps to keep himself agile. each movement, while slightly choppy, improves with every sequence. as he finally straightens out to align the hilt with his invisible sparring partner, he notes a peculiar rustling in the bushes just behind him. quickly, he turns on a dime, pointing the hilt towards the sound. ❝ i know you're there... ❞

there were very few places open this late, but one or two family restaurants managed to keep their lights on after dark. a large and imposing teenager bumbled his way in and settled down at a vacant stool on the opposite side of the counter. ❝ do you still serve beef bowls this late ? ❞ once he got a confirmation he pursed his lips, nodding with a hint of content. ❝ perfect, let me get one of those then. i gotta warm up. ❞

happy holidays ! now that i'm feeling better, i think it's about high time for a starter call

[jigento]

soooo i haven't been here for a little while, and it's mainly due to some back-to-back-to-back life stuff. thankfully, i'm doing okay. i'd like to come back and do more here and on @skcpa, but it's probably best that i come in with a fresh slate, and will be cleaning my drafts. if you'd like to start up something fresh, leave a like here or comment for a muse from @skcpa and we'll get things going again. thank you all for your patience with me. i care you.

"videogames? oh, sure" tsubaki shrugs, like it wasn't a big deal. she wasn't much of a gamer but she was pretty competitive, which always get her ahead, sometimes. other times, she would get frustrated and leave angrily. the young teen was more interested in anime and manga, anyway.

"i'm mostly a fighting type of player" she points with her thumb over her shoulder to a specific cabinet that said 'tekken', "i'm usually over there" that one was the only game, besides pinball, that she genuinely knew how to play enough to not get beaten so easily, "but i'm more into anime and manga, though. i just come here to pass time"

[jigento]

he nods, cursing under his breath slightly as the pinball drops between the paddles. ❝ you know, there's a manga cafe down the street that just opened up. ❞ the pinball is launched back into place with a deafening chime from the machine. ❝ if you're more into reading, then why not check that place out ? ❞ perhaps it sounded like he was dissuading her from coming by and playing games at the arcade. in an attempt to backtrack and offer a clearer explanation of consideration, he loses another ball. ❝ ah-- fuck this... n-not at you ! i meant that you might find stuff you like reading over there more than sticking around with a bunch of games you're not invested in. ❞
