Anger burned at the girl’s face, though it wasn’t immediately obvious whether it was directed at Yukina or some other, third party. Flames coiled dangerously around her heels, temporarily suppressed, but threatening to burst forth at any minute. The gun in her hand was clean white, with a neat golden trim around the edges. It was an elegant weapon and a clear contrast to the black spiked chain that she held in her other hand, so far unused.

A lesser person’s hand would have been quivering, but Serori had far too much experience doing things she didn’t want to do to allow her doubt any physical manifestation. “You are a demon, aren’t you?” Her voice was sharp and unfriendly, and the fire at her feet spiked around her ankles as she spoke, before simmering back down. “Don’t you know how this works? Or have you never had the misfortune to run across a Magical Girl before?” The disdain in her voice proved that the designation was nothing to be proud of.

Hiei startled inwardly at the applause. He had assumed, incorrectly it seems, that Yukina was dozing. 

         “I’m sorry... I did not mean to wake you...”

It had been a stupid decision to hang around, he knew that, and yet... Not only had he broken his own unspoken rule, he had stayed long enough to sing some half remembered song. It was an impulsive decision, but it didn’t feel wrong.

Like Water and Ice

Her daily ritual had just started. 

In the mornings, Marie had cleansed herself of the previous days’ sins and gotten dressed in something comfortable to hike in. The woodland area by the shine was her most ideal place to walk, reflect on today’s tasks before she made her trip to school. What she wouldn’t give to have someone outside of her class to talk to. 

It was always “Help me with my French class, Marie!” or “I did this right! You don’t get it!” from the other students. Being a transfer student from across the globe had its back draws. 

She felt the mark on her back had been humming in anger, the thorns gently wrapped around her neck like bad scars that were tattooed over. To keep questions at bay, she opted to bandage her neck up and claim her cat had gotten her. 

But she didn’t own a cat.  Deciding to take a small break near a shrine, Marie sat down under a tree and rubbed her neck, “Damn....”

If only terrifying creatures could have chased her every race in high school, then maybe Imogen would have been a world famous track star. The thumping of her heartbeat and the pounding of her heavy steps almost made a continuous roaring in her ears. Or maybe that was just the sound of blind panic. 

This shit never happened to her in America. 

‘People,’ her mind offered. ‘Find people.’

The healer didn’t really have any other plans, so without hesitation she abruptly rounded a corner and headed for a nearby bustling marketplace. Imogen had passed it earlier, and decided she may stop by when it was less crowded. Though, now she relied on the mass of people to disguise her.

Unfortunately, the masses seemed to have dispersed. On the bright side, there were still an exceptional amount of customers browsing around. On the not so bright side, Imogen’s hasty escape sent her colliding into one of them. And the poor girl was probably the smallest person there.

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry!” she cried, reaching out to steady herself before she ate dirt. A ridiculous amount of apples came crashing down from her weight, and rolled around the two girls.

Well, maybe the monsters would trip over them like a damn scene from Home Alone.

A hasty glance over her shoulder made it seem that said monsters had disappeared. Perhaps they weren’t up to showing themselves to all the people?Though, maybe that would be too easy.

Send a symbol to give my muse…

 - 🐈 a pet.

Lisbeth blinks owlishly, mouth hanging open slightly, at the bundle of multicolored fur in Yukina’s arms. Slowly, her eyes moves from the admittedly adorable kitten to the smiling ice maiden. “You’re…just giving her to me?”

Yukina laughs, all warmth and delight. It’s a pretty sound, as always, one that never fails to put Lis at ease. “I’m not ‘just’ giving her to you, Lis! It’s October 23rd, isn’t it?” The pink-haired girl gasps. She hadn’t even looked at the date before heading to Genkai’s compound this morning. Yukina’s expression softens, smile melting with it, and damn it all if Lis doesn’t feel for the millionth time that this precious girl deserves the world and so much more. “It’s your birthday.”

Lis looks down at the kitten again, eyes so bright and curious and happy, and she can’t help but smile. Reaching out to scratch the little thing under her chin, earning her contently closed eyes and purrs, she laughs at herself. “I didn’t even know it was my birthday today,” she tells her honestly.

Yukina chuckles right along with her. “That explains your surprise!” Adjusting her hold on the kitten, she holds her out to her friend. “You can hold her, if you want.”

Lis nods, and Yukina carefully deposits the Calico in her arms. They just look at each other for a few seconds, Lis and the kitten, before the latter leans up to lick Lis’ cheek. The girl gasps a little at first, but smiles and laughs happily a moment later.

Yukina watches, flushing with pride and joy. “See? I knew she’d like you. I’ve been calling her Saki*, but you’re welcome to rename her, of course. She’s been here for a few weeks now, and Genkai said I could keep her. But after I met you and we became friends, I thought you might need her company more than I do. I already asked Genkai, and she said it was more than all right that you have her.”

Unsettled at the thought of taking her friend’s companion away, Lis looks over at her and frowns. “Are you sure? Yukina, you really don’t have to. I can tell you love her, and she loves you, too. I don’t want—”

But Yukina just nods. “Yes. I’m sure.” She grins. “Don’t worry. As long as I know she’s safe and happy, that’s all that matters. Besides, you know I’m only visiting Genkai’s temple.  I don’t really live here. It would be best for Saki to live with someone who’ll be there all the time. I don’t want her to be heartbroken every time I leave this place.”

Lis still feels a little bad, but the explanation does make sense. “I see… Plus, no offense, but Genkai doesn’t really seem to be the animal type.”

Yukina chuckles. “No, you’re right about that.” Looking from one to the other, countenance warming, she says, “Thank you, Lisbeth, for taking care of her for me. I’m glad you like her. She really likes you, too.”

Lis raises an eyebrow. “’Like’ her?” she repeats, a chortling undercurrent there. “I love her!” Leaning forward, she wraps an arm around Yukina and buries her face in her shoulder. Saki meows between them, confused, but warm and happy. “And I love you, too,” the girl intones softly. “Thank you for remembering when I didn’t. You’re the best.”

“are you all right? you hit your head pretty hard… ” [ hope it's okay to send one just because : D ]

A grimacing Rika stops rubbing her head at the unfamiliar sweet voice and looks up. There’s a girl standing there, maybe a few years younger than she is, wearing a pretty light blue kimono with a dark blue sash around her middle, a red snowflake-ribbon pulling her mint green hair back in a low ponytail. She’s beautiful, and as she stares, Rika almost forgets the girl asked her a question.

When she remembers, though, she flushes lightly and waves her hands in front of her person. “Y-yeah, I’m fine! Don’t worry about it!” Getting to her feet a bit unsteadily, she bows politely. “Thank you very much. Sorry if I worried you.” Straightening, she lifts one of her legs and raps on her knee with a wink. “I just got out of the hospital a little while ago, you see, and I haven’t been on my feet in a long time, so I’m having a little trouble adjusting. I really appreciate you checking on me.”

It’s at that point that she spies the fairy tale book in the other's hand, likely from the bookstore they’re in front of, and she brightens. Taking a small step forward, she points at it. “Ooh…! Are you gonna buy that? It’s a really amazing read!” Snapping her fingers, her beam rivals the sun as she holds out a hand. “Hey, why don’t you let me buy that for you? It’s the least I can do after you were so nice!” Chuckling, she sets a hand on her hip. “This was actually my stop anyway, as it turns out, so it wouldn’t be any trouble!”
