West Bank: Entrance





Your at the entrance to the magical, enchaning, and down right beautiful Chibi 

Park.  Its creation and how it got here is purely up to Rumors, but its said to 

have just appeared one day.  In the center of the park is a lovely lake, but 

its mostly fenced off on all sides and only directly accessable by a small 

island in the center.  I'm sure there are probably breaks in the fencing, but 

who would want to go through that way?  Anyways....This part of the park is the 

entrance, a large stone arch protects this place from the outside city forces.  

There is a walkway that lwads all around the main areas, and there are MAPs in 

every major place.  This area is littered by trees, all surrounding a large 

stone fountain.  There are benches scattered around, keeping it a fairly 

plesent area. Its early night. The sun has dissapeared into the horizon while 

the moon creeps up. Stars begin to appear, seemingly one at a time- slowly 

forming the constilations. The air is sweet and cool, flowing over your body 

and bringing along with it the scent of night.

Marketplace



The commercial center of Nerima has an old-fashioned feel to it, most shops are 

small and usually made with wooden walls and tile roofs.  Many colorful signs 

jut out in the street, filling your field of vision with colorful kanji.  You 

take a good whiff of the air, different enticing smells tempt you more and 

more... The local restaurants have a good reputation, though they tend to cater 

more to the student crowd.

>Kyo says, "What was that about? O_o;"

>u

Hmm, Ucchan's door is locked and there's no light inside. There is a paper 

stapled in front reading [Closed, maybe for good] and a little picture of a 

broken heart as only signature.

>Rei blinks as he walks up to Ucchan's. "...!?"

>Ushio asks, "Oi, Rei. Do you know anything about this?"

>Rei shakes his head. "...?"

>Ushio says, "I think it might have something to do with....you know...I kind of 

feel responsible."

>Kyo asks, "?"

>Kyo shrugs and heads off.

>Rei frowns. "... Don't this just beat all?"

>Kyo_Kusanagi heads south towards the curve of Hisashi way.

>Ushio says, "I HOPE its not because of anything I did. I'd hate to be 

responsible."

>Rei sighs... looks rather depressed, doesn't really help his already  dishevled 

look

>Rin comes in from the south, Hisashi way.

>Rin wanders in. -_-

>Ushio waves to Rin.

>Rei stands forlornly in front of Ucchan's   ;_;

>Rin waves.

>Rei isn't looking at Rin

>Ushio looks concerned and is leaning, not quite forlornly, but not happily, on 

the kemono no yaari.

>Rin glances over at Rei and blushes slightly.

>Rin turns away to look at Ushio. "Are you ok over there?"

>Ushio says, "Yeah, I'm fine. Just wondering where Chef-san went."

>Rin asks, "Chefhan?"

>Rei says, "... Ukyou closed the restaraunt. I can't blame her, but..."

>Rin says, "It got flooded..."

>Ushio says, "I remember the time we flooded Nakamura's resturant, but they were 

only closed for a week, not "maybe for good

>Rei studies the note. "..."

>Rin says, "I think Ukyouhan is just depressed. It will open again."

>Rei sighs, crossing his arms. "... Yeah, you're probably right."

>Rin exclaims, "I would be mad too if Demons trashed my restaurant!"

>Ushio says, "Yeah, I guess. I still feel like I should have done something 

more, or I should have stopped him sooner."

>Rin says, "I don't even know what happened..."

>Rei rubs the back of his neck, feeling awfully guilty. "..."

>Tenchi has arrived.

>Tenchi exclaims, "Hi Rin!"

>Rei stands forelornly in front of Ucchan's   ;_;

>Rin waves. "Hi, Tenchi."

>Tenchi points to Rei.  "What's with him, Rin?"

>Rin says, "Ucchan's is closed because we did not defeat a demon before he 

destroyed it."

>Tenchi pikus.

>Tenchi asks, "You mean a real demon?"

>Rin says, ".... of course a real demon.  I don't imagine demons."

>Tenchi giggles.

>Rei shakes his head. "... I wasn't around for the recent stuff."

>Tenchi says, "I hope Ukyou's insurance can pay for it.  I mean I don't like her 

that much but she doesn't deserve to lose her business."

>Rin says, "Yesterday a building burned down and the demon tried to drop a 

telphone poll on me, then have me run over with a truck.  And I didn't even do 

anything."

>Tenchi says, "Well, you hunt demons, right?  Maybe you have a bad reputation 

among them."

>Rin asks, "I do?"

>Tenchi says, "You look for demons...  you carry a sword.  I thought you hunt 

them."

>Rin says, "I don't look for them, they're just everywhere I go..."

>Rin glances over at Rei, but doesn't comment. n.n

>Rei is glad Rin isn't calling him a demon now, at least. He feels sorry for 

poor Ukyou, she never called the police when he slipped out without paying   ;_;

>Rin looks away from Rei again, hoping not to attract attention to him. o.o

>Rin . o O ( I hope no one notices all the writing, they'll think something 

weird is going on... )

>Tenchi squints at Rei.

>Rei is rubbing the back of his neck.

>Ushio says, "Something about people dangerous to demons and monsters makes them 

magnets for them."

>Tenchi points to some marks.  "Rin...  is _that_ the kanji for your name?"

>Rei suddenly hugs Tenchi. No, you can't figure out why, but apparently, neither 

can Rei, as he promptly shoves Tenchi away   @_o

>Rin blushes a bit, then blinks. o.o

>Tenchi says "Gaaaah!" and jumps three meters.

>Rin takes a few stpes back from Rei and Tenchi. "Tenchi! Are you dating guys 

now too! o.o"

>Tenchi says, "No, no, he just...  grabbed me!  And all I did was wonder if that 

kanji on him was your name."

>Rei blinks, and HUGELY sweatdrops    @_o;

>Ushio asks, "Yeah. Why IS your name written on him, Rin?"

>Tenchi says, "Oh, that is your name?  I couldn't tell, since some kanji are 

pronounced lots of ways..."

>Rin exclaims, "It is not my fault!"

>Akio arrives by taxi.

>Rei hugs Ushio! Then promptly pushes him away, stammering incoherently   @_o 

(blame Ukyou for this)

>Tenchi is pointing to some writing on Rei.

>Rin blinks at Rei. "I think he's going crazy. Maybe the fight caused brain 

damage!"

>Ushio WHAMS Rei with the Kemono no Yaari.

>Ushio asks, "OI! What was that?"

>Rei stammers incoherently. Poor tiger.   @_;

>Tenchi says, "Wait a minute.  Maybe it's something triggered whenever someone 

says "Rin"."

>Rin exclaims, "Ack! It's the side effect!"

>Tenchi prepares to dodge.

>Akio strolls casually along the street, grinning. The kind of grin a cat might 

wear after having opened the birdcage or batting a few goldfish out of the 

fishbowl. Very, very satisfied. He blinks, chuckling lowly at the chaos here at 

street level.

>Rei falls on his face as Tenchi dodged    _._

>Tenchi says, "So he has your name on him and whenever someone reads it off, 

they get hugged.  It's like those magic mushroom things in Chinese legend only 

real."

>Rei sits up. "... Sounds plausible"   @_o

>Rin asks, "Magic mushroom things?"

>Tenchi says, "Yeah, I heard this story about magic Chinese mushrooms that if 

you bake in food will make people react to a stimulus..."

>Ushio exclaims, "Huh. Well, I'll be sure not to say you're name, then, 

Rin.....OOPS!"

>Rin turns to Rei. "You have to take a bath and wash that off you!"

>Tenchi asks, "Oh, so if you rinse off the magic writing it wears off then?"

>Rei lunges for Ushio, but being too far away falls on his face. He muffles 

through the pavement, "Tried that."

>Rin exclaims, "You have to wear more clothes, then!"

>Rei sits up. "I don't HAVE more clothes."   o_@

>Ushio asks, "Maybe if you shave the written-on areas?"

>Rei rubs the back of his neck, peering at Ushio strangely   O_=

>Rin hands her sweater to Rei.

>Rei blinks as Rin hands the sweater over. "...?"

>Tenchi exclaims, "I got it!"

>Akio heads towards a narrow alley packed with stalls and small shops.

>Tenchi says, "Write at the end..."

>Tenchi exclaims, "To change it from 'Rin' into a very long word that nobody'd 

ever say by accident!"

>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "Might work."

>Rei glomps Tenchi   O_;

>Tenchi realizes what he said and dodges...  too late.  His eyes bulge.

>Tenchi exclaims, "Lemme go!"

>Rei lets Tenchi go. "Gah!"

>Ushio asks, "How did you get...that word...written on you, anyway?"

>Tenchi says, "Probably some kind of magic marker.  But with real magic."

>Rin says, "It is part of a cure for when he was dying."

>Tenchi asks, "Nani??"

>Rei rubs his nose. "..."

>Rin says, "... it is very difficult to explain."

>Ushio says, "You mean during.....the fight? I don't really remember much past 

the first time I attacked the demon."

>Rin says, "Hai.  He was hurt and nearly dying. Ukyouhan found a cure somewhere 

that was red ink.  She wrote the name of the person he hated all over him and 

it cured him."

Rei(#1930PBJ$M)





  -=-=- Rei -=-=- 

 Probably the first thing you notice about this young man is that he's a tiger. 

Well, not exactly... though the resemblance is certainly close. The striped 

pelt and tail are certainly the most telling feature, but there's also the way 

he carries himself... if you watch closely, you see that every movement is 

economical and deliberate. If you don't mind your men furry, he's actually 

rather attractive; tall, lean, graceful, and with fine features. His unkempt 

mane of yellow-ish hair (the same shade as his pelt) is tied into a pony-tail 

at the base of his neck. 

 He currently wears a rather abused red vest, with matching trousers, the 

latter held up with a wide leather belt. A broad white headband keeps the hair 

from his face. The toes of his boots have been cut away, exposing Rei's clawed 

toes. 

 Currently, the poor guy looks like he's been pulled through a wringer. His 

hair and fur are a literal mess (what, do YOU want to comb it?), but even more 

strangely, the name 'Rin' has been written on several places over his body. Go 

figure

>Ushio asks, "He hates you?"

>Rei sweatdrops. "Just the way she keeps calling me a demon."   >_<

>Tenchi says, "Well, she used to always call him a demon."

>Tenchi nods.

>Rin blushes and looks away.  SHe mumbles. "The cure worked."

>Ushio mumbles, "..  he  HATES  ...  ..  then  why  does  he  HUG  whoever  says 

 her  ....  .." to Ushio.

>Achika comes in from the south, Hisashi way.

>Rin waves to Achika. "Hi neehan."

>Achika smiles, "Hi Rin!"

>Achika makes her way over to Rin.

>Rei sits on the curb, looking like he's probably seen better days.

>Rin says, "How have you been, neehan."

>Achika asks, "I'm doing fine.  How about you?"

>Rin says, "I think I'm ok..."

>Tenchi says, "Hello, Achika..."

>Achika smiles, "That's good.  What are you doing at the Market?"

>Achika smiles, "Oh, hi Tenchi!"

>Tenchi lets out a sigh of relief.  "I thought you had gone back."

>Rin says, "Well, I don't really know."

>Rei looks up, and nods to the young lady. Just ignore the sulking tiger-man.

>Tenchi . o O ( But...  she's going to have to some day.  And a few years after 

that she'll be dead. )

>Achika says, "I don't know how to go back, Tenchi."

>Tenchi points to Rin.  "By the way, don't say oneesan's name.  Rei has this 

magic thing on him..."

>Rin nods... x.x

>Achika o.o

>Rin says, "Yeah... don't say my name."

>Rei just sweatdrops   @_o;

>Achika asks, "Why can't I say your name?"

>Rin says, "Because he'll hug you."

>Achika blinks, "How did this happen to you?"

>Ushio says, "Magic Ink."

>Rin nods in agreement with Ushio.

>Achika asks, "Can't it be undone?"

>Rei wonders if he should just go hide in the park now. No dinner, magic 

stuff... blech. Sucks to be Rei.

>Rin says, "Maybe... but we don't know how."

>Achika says, "My goodness.."

>Ukyou exits Ucchan's Okonomiyaki-ya.

>Tenchi exclaims, "I had an idea to write the ink into a longer word which 

nobody would say by accident!"

>Ushio exclaims, "Chef-san!"

>Ukyou-oni gets out of Ucchan's, holding her back, 'x.x'  "Damn that step."

>Rei looks up as Ukyou steps outside. "... You alright?"

>Achika nods to Tenchi, "Would that work?"

>Achika exclaims, "Hi Ukyou!"

>l uky



Ukyou





Ukyou Kuonji is moderately tall, thin, has long brown hair and wide dark 

blue-grey eyes. 'Ucchan' has a friendly demeanor on a normal day, but she can 

become very stern.  Although Ukyou is female, it's not always readily obvious: 

She never wears makeup, her ears aren't pierced and even her voice sounds like 

that of a young boy...

Ukyou is costumed in a devilish little thing. (literally, she's dressed as a 

red oni)  First, take a form-fitting bodysuit of red cloth, (a little tight 

around the chest, you ecchi!) and add a spikey tail trailing behind. She tied 

her hair in a tight ponytail so that her fluffy mane doesn't hide the two cute 

red horns. Here there is a slight difference from her simple Halloween costume, 

gone is her plastic trident, traded for two red triangular marks on her 

forehead. (probably done with some sort of pen)







Carrying:

Gold Coin Pendant


>Ukyou-oni pikus at the company... And then suddenly points up at the 

nekohanten's second story, opposite her, "Look!  A DEMON!"

>Tenchi says, "I don't know, Achika."

>Achika blinks and looks where Ukyou points.

>Rei blinks, not taking his eyes of Ukyou. He does sweatdrop, though.

>Rin blinks at Ukyou.

>Ushio looks towards the Nekohanten.

>Ukyou-oni shakes her head, 'n.n'; "Made ya look..." . o O ( That guy's hopeless 

)

>Tenchi says, "Hm?  I don't see anything.  Oh, is everyone wearing their 

Halloween costume?  I saw Kodachi wearing hers too."

>Achika blinks, "Oh..  haa!!  That's pretty good, Ukyou!"

>Ukyou-oni pikus, "Hall..." and looks down, sweatdrops, she forgot to change 

after tricking Katsuo, oh hell...

>Rei looks down at himself. "I guess I'm always in costume. Or something."

>Rin says, "Ukyouhan!  How do we cure the side effect of that ink."

>Ukyou-oni suddenly starts, "Kodachi!" and zips smack in front of Tenchi, o.o 

"Where is she?"

>Rei looks at Ukyou, "Uh, what's up with the restaraunt?"

>Ukyou-oni then sidepikus, "Side-effect?  Whassat Rinhan?"

>Tenchi stumbles backwards.  "I don't know, it was yesterday or maybe the day 

before."

>Rei sweatdrops at Ukyou again   =_=;

>Lina_Inverse comes in from the south, Hisashi way.

>Ushio whispers, "Missed your cue." to you.

>Achika waves to Lina.

>Lina glances around, waving. "Evening! What's up?"

>Ushio waves to Lina. "Magic, Lina-san."

>Tenchi says, "Hello Lina-san, don't say her name."  Tenchi points to Rin.

>Lina hms? "Why not, Tenchi?"

>Tenchi says, "Well, Rei has this spell on him."

>Tenchi exclaims, "You're a magician, maybe you can fix it!"

>Rei suddenly hugs Ukyou, for no apparent reason. S'okay, apparently he doesn't 

know why either, as he immediately pushes her away   o_O;

>Ukyou-oni goes wide-eyed... sorta... 'o.o';  . o O ( Oh, *that* side-effect )

>Achika blinks at Rei.

>Lina blinks at Ukyou.

>Tenchi exclaims, "Like that!"

>Ukyou-oni scratches the back of her head... 'n.n'; "It'll wear off, it's just 

a... particuliarity of the healin' ink."

>Rei, reduced to comic relief.   ;_;

>Rin looks kind of embarrassed.

>Lina asks, "Which name do I have to avoid? Rei's?"

>Rin says, "No, mine."

>Rei points at Rin

>Lina says, "Okay, Rin -" She immediately prepares to dodge.

>Achika asks, "This is so strange.  What does Ri-- my sister's name have to do 

with Rei, and does the spell still work if she's not around him?"

>Rei falls on his face, narrowly missing Lina   *whud*

>Lina ehehehehehs ... ^^;;

>Ukyou-oni v 'o.o'; "Look guys, I ougtha explain, kay?"

>Lina says, "By all means, Ukyou ... "

>Tenchi says, "Okay."

>Achika nods, "Please do."

>Rei sits up. "Yes. Please."   o_o;

>Sakura comes in from the narrow alley packed with stalls.

>Ushio says, "Hello again."

>Tenchi says, "Hello Satura-san."

>Sakura (OOC) says, "Aa! @_@ Bad move for a wanted person. x.x"

>Tenchi (OOC) says, "Um, Sakura."

>Rin sits over near Rei.

>Lina waves to Sakura ... then pauses ... then returns her attention to Ukyou.

>Ukyou-oni says, "Well, it's a healing ink that Happosai used awhile back... 

Safe to use, except for the side-effect (thumbs at the markings on Rei)  u.u;  

Not that Happosai ever _told_ us."

>Sakura takes one step out... then spins around before even setting her foot 

outside the alley, face suddenly stark white . o O ( Why are all these people 

out here?! )

>Sakura . o O ( I'll never be able to get some okonomiyaki at this rate. ;_; )

>Sakura tucks herself in the shade of the alley, trying to keep hidden.

>Achika says, "Happosai...  isn't he that little old man who filled...  I've 

said to much already...  *BLUSH*"

>Lina says, "Isn't Happosai the old lecher who swiped that amulet Gourry picked 

up?" o.o

>Rei sits on the curb, looking rather dishevleved

>Rin says to Rei. "At least put the sweater on...that'll hide some of the 

writing."

>Ukyou-oni is a devil speaking to a bunch of people, must be a halloween's 

party, with a storyteller, yeah!   "The old freak, yeah... Anyway that's the 

way the ink works, you gotta use the name of someone one hates... Sorry 

Reichan, I got short on options the other day..." 'n.n';

>Tenchi says, "Only old lecher I know of, Lina-san, so probably."

>Lina asks, "Where does he stay again?"

>Tenchi says, "I think he lives at Ranma's place.  They can't get rid of him."

>Tenchi says, "But I heard it's just because Ranma's dad is a coward."

>Achika asks, "Hey!  Who said they hate my sister?"

>Rin says, "The spell worked, he must hate me."

>Sakura blinks, noticing a can of used oil on the ground.  She hmns, tapping her 

lip... then picks it up and pours the substance on her hands.   She quickly 

rubs the grease through her hair, darkening, then proceeds to slick it back.  

After that, she picks up a soiled blanket from a dumpster and cloaks herself 

with it.

>Rei just becomes the object of attention. He looks distinctly uncomfortable.

>Ukyou-oni nononos at Achika, 'o.o';;  "That's not it, it depends on who's 

healed... In this case it's Rei that hates Rin!"  eep, a slip.

>Achika frowns at Rei, "Do you have a problem with her?"

>Tenchi asks, "You're putting on a costume too, Sakura-san?"

>Rei holds his hands up defensively. "NO!" Pause. "Well, she is rather annoying 

with that demon fixation..."

>Achika asks, "Then why does the spell work on you?"

>Tenchi says, "You ought to just buy or make one.  They're cheap since 

Halloween's over."

>Rei suddenly hugs Ukyou   O_O;

>Ukyou-oni (OOC) patpats Rei, "I know, it's tough to spot _all_ mentions of that 

name. n.n;"

>Ukyou-oni erps, stiffening and going a little wide-eyed herself.  'o.o';

>Sakura is hidden in the shade of the alley, Tenchi-kun. ^_^;

>Lina sighs. "Rei ... do you want me to see if I can break the curse?"

>Ukyou-oni exclaims, "NO!"

>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "Might come in hand- eh?"

>Rin blinks.

>Achika asks, "Why not, Ukyou?"

>Tenchi exclaims, "He needed it to heal him, Lina-san...  you don't want to 

unheal him!"

>Sakura steps out from the alley, looking like a dark-haired, dirty little 

street waif. >.>  <.<

>Ukyou-oni says, "Lina... Do NOT mess with the healing ink..."  'o_o';  "Reichan 

was almost dead when I used it, there's not telling what messing with the magic 

might do, if it reverts the healing..." and trails off.

>Lina says, "Good point ..."

>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "..."

>Lina asks, "So how long is the side effect supposed to last?"

>Rin mumbles, "You really hate me?" to you.

>Rin mumbles, "You  ......  ....  me  .." to Rei.

>Ukyou-oni says, "Well, when we used it on Akane, it lasted two weeks, (cheerful 

shrug) no biggie. n.n;"

>Rei blinks, dropping his head.

>You mumble, "Not really... but you have to stop calling everyone demons!" to 

Rin.

>Rei mumbles, "Not  ......  ..  ..  ..  but  ...  have  to  stop  calling  

........  demons  ..  .." to Rin.

>Rei blinks   O_o;

>Sakura glances around silently, then quickly scurries into Ucchan's.

>Tenchi says, "You mean Akane was hugging Rin for a whole two..."  His voice 

trails off as Rei hugs him.

>Sakura eeps, finding it closed. o.o

>Sakura . o O ( No!  No Okonomiyaki! ;_; )

>Rin mumbles, "I don't call everyone demons only .... *sigh* then you do hate 

me?" to you.

>Rin mumbles, ".  don't  ....  ........  ......  ....  ..  ..  ..  ..  *sigh*  

then  ...  do  hate  ..  .." to Rei.

>Sakura falls to her knees before the restaurant, crying. ;_;

>Ukyou-oni'x.x'; "No... We used Kodachi's name for Akane, it's someone the 

healed person gotta hate, remember?"

>Ramza comes in from the south, Hisashi way.

>You mumble, "Just the demon part   u.u;" to Rin.

>Rei mumbles, "Just  the  demon  ....    u  ..  .." to Rin.

>Tenchi asks, "She hugged everyone who said 'Kodachi'?"

>Achika glares at Tenchi, "Not everyone hates Rin.  *points at Rei*  He's the 

one with the problem."

>Rei jumps out to glomp Achika!  O_O;

>Tenchi exclaims, "I guess people don't say that as much as they say 'Rin'...  

AAAAGGGGH!"

>Rei will get his revenge later. Watch your wallets.

>Rin exclaims, "Stop saying my name!"

>Ramza wanders in, with a decidedly lost expression. He blinks at the sudden 

screaming.

>Achika screams, "Get it off of me!!!"

>Lina says, "All right, Rin, all right - ah, fewmets ... " o.o;

>Ukyou-oni winces a bit at Tenchi's question, at Rei's antics, and she juuuuust 

tiptoes back to Ucchan's... pikus at Sakura

>Ukyou-oni tiptoes even... And so a devilette looks at Sakura, 'O.o';  "Whassa 

matter sugar?"

>Rei decides to make himself scarce now. Safest way   O_O;

>s

You head south towards the curve of Hisashi way.


** Walk cut **

Nerima park



This is a quaint little park that is quite popular with the local students.  

Stone-covered paths wind around oases of greenery, where trees bring some 

pleasant shade to the benches.  A fountain sings its watery song at the center 

of the park, flanked by several cherry trees that  ensure a very pleasant sight 

during the sakura season.  The sounds of civilization are not far away though, 

Kanno street following the east edge of the part, and another street to the 

west heading to Hisashi way.

>Rin comes in from Hisashi way.

>Rei sits up in a tree, furiously sharpening a dagger   >.<;

>Rin walks into the park, forgetting to look up.

>Rin walks through the park, looking around and not seeing Rei she starts to 

walk back out.

>Rei does make a little noise, though. Not much.   *snickt* *snickt*

>Rin walks under the tree. Stopping as some dust rains down on her from your 

sharpening stone. x.x

>Rei doesn't notice you, seeing as how he isn't looking down.   -_-;

>Rin looks up and sees you.  She stops, not knowing what to do next.

>Rin . o O ( It's not my fault that he hates me! )

>Rei . o O ( maybe I'll just hide up here for a few weeks... )

>Rin starts to leave the park again, then stops. She turns back to look up at 

Rei in the tree.

>Rei still hasn't noticed Rin yet. He's still sulking   ;_;

>Rin mumbles. "Gomen..." Then turns to leave the park.

>Rei blinks, looking down. "Rin?"

>Rin turns. "Hai..."

>Rei rubs the back of his neck, trying to ponder what to say. "..."

>Rin says, "This is all my fault."

>Rei shakes his head. "No, no, it's my fault for getting all beat up..."   . o O 

( Even if I don't exactly remember why... )

>Rin says, "But it's my name written all over you."

>Rei shrugs. "Well, Ukyou did that. I think."

>Rin says, "I guess..."

>Rin looks up at you and smiles. "Nothing happened when you said my name..."

>Rei blinks. "Well, it's kinda hard for someone to leap out and hug yourself."   

O_o;

>Rin says, "I guess so. It would be funny to see."

>Rei smirks. "Yeah..."

>Ukyou comes in from Hisashi way.

>Rin says, "Well...umm...I just wanted to say I'll stay away from you from now 

on."

>Ukyou-oni kicks a rock, just no luck tonight... -.-

>Rei sits up in a tree, Rin standing below

>Rei shakes his head. "No, you don't have to... just be more careful who you 

call demons."

>Ukyou-oni blinks, nevermind that bump on her forehead, and looks up, "Whatcha 

doing there Reichan?  Chasin' birds?"

>Rei sweatdrops. "Just trying to get away..."   ^^;

>Ukyou-oni says, "From what?  The skinny little girl here?  You wuss." she jokes.

>Rei sweatdrops. "..."

>Rin nods to Rei. "I won't call anyone else a demon."

>Just you... (J/K)

>Achika comes in from Hisashi way.

>Rin waves to Achika.

>Achika smiles and waves to Rin, "This is where you went."

>Rei sweatdrops. "Just trying to get away..."   ^^;

>Rei . o O ( Apparently it didn't work  ;_; )

>Rin says, "I ... *^^*"

>Ukyou-oni looks up at Rei in the tree, "From what?  That skinny little girl?  

(thumbs at Rin)  You wuss." she jokes. n.n

>Rin . o O ( Where did all these people come from. )

>Rei sighs. "..."

>Rin says, "Who're you calling a skinny little girl."

>Achika smiles, "I see..."

>Rin looks up at Rei. "Mou ichido gomen, na."

>Ukyou-oni says, "What, *aghast wide-eyed kidding look at rin*  O.O  You're not 

a girl?!?"

>Achika blinks.

>Rei looks down at Ukyou's reaction. "...?"  O_o

>Rin asks, "Neehan, do you know anyplace to get ice cream from?"

>Ukyou-oni tends to get 'in character' with that costume... n.n

>Achika asks, "Hmmmm.  I think that pizza cat place had some.  Is that still 

open?"

>Rin exclaims, "Of course I'm a girl!"

>Rin says, "No... I think it closed."

>Ukyou-oni biihs a bit  n,n  Up at Rei she comments, "Wussy guys can be cute."  

then to Achika and Rin, "Try the Parlor Crown in Juuban, too many flavors to 

list."

>Achika says, "Awwww, but the cats were so cute.."

>Rei sweatdrops. Seems to be a common response from him these days   ^^;

>Rin nods to Achika, trying to avoid the topic of cats. "Let's go to there..."

>Achika nods and smiles, "Sure!"

>The pizza cats narrator speaks in the background, "Meanwhile, in the Big 

Cheese's headquarters, his cheesyness is about to come up with yet another 

really stupid plan."   "Hahaha, I finally found the perfect way to beat those 

pesky cats, we'll open a sukiyaki place with the ninja crows!"

>Achika (OOC) says, "WAI!!!  *^_^*"

>Rei (OOC) ....... >.<;

>Rin decides to follow Achika.

>Rin waves to Rei.

>Ukyou-oni waves off, "I gotta find Kodachi..." -.-  *piku*  "Aaand I got no 

idea where to look."

>Achika waves.

>Achika heads to the west of the park, then south towards Hisashi way.

>Achika leaves with Rin following behind.

>Ukyou-oni slumps down on a bench, sighs, and rubs her forehead a bit...

>Rei looks down at Ukyou. "... You okay?"

>Ukyou-oni says, "For now, yeah... It's hell trying to trick a demon."

>Rei blinks. "You mean that Katsuo guy?"

>Ukyou-oni leans back on the bench, and noddles, "Hm-hmm... I managed a little 

thing with this getup, but now I gotta keep it up."

>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "He actually believed that?"   O_o

>Ukyou-oni v n.n a short moment, "I'm that good..." and leans back again, pretty 

much exhausted. -.-

>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "Well, the outfit looks kinda good on you." 

Sweatdrop. "Well, if exceedingly wierd."

>Ukyou-oni says, "How about having to look at death in the eye for my next 

stunt. -.-;"

>Ukyou-oni says, "Aw crap, I better head home and change." she stands up.

>Rei blinks. "Eh?"

>Ukyou-oni stops a moment, and looks over her shoulder, up at Rei in that tree 

while she brushes her hair behind her shoulders in one gracious movement, "Oh 

yeah, I forgot to tell you..." a smile, "Thanks for the hug..."

>Rei blinks   ^^;   "..."

>Ukyou-oni walks off, after one last wave.

>Rei leaps down from the tree. "Hey, hey, not so fast."

>Ukyou-oni hms? stopping.

>Rei taptaps his foot. "You sounded like you were gonna do something dangerous 

before. Are you?"

>Ukyou-oni says, "Talking to Kodachi... Yeah, that could be called dangerous. :/ 

 But I gotta, if it keeps Katsuo from killing or hurting someone else."

>Rei frowns. "Well, okay. And, um... why was the restaraunt closed?"

>Ukyou-oni glooms a bit, "Well... With Ranma..." she looks down very much now, 

but then shakes her head, "The place is trashed!"

>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "I didn't think that little scuffle a few days 

ago did THAT much..."

>Ukyou-oni (OOC) I didn't have time to put it in time for you... Gasoil leaked 

in, then caught a bit aflame, then the sprinklers went niagara.

>Rei (OOC) ...   ^^;

>Ukyou-oni says, "It's a mess..." -.-;

>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "... Oh."

>Rei sweatdrops. "Kinda like me then." Nervous chuckle.

>Ukyou-oni looks up a little weary, then smiles at that one, n.n "Yeah... Come 

on, I'll help you with that."

>Rei blinks, rubbing the back of his neck. "I could really use a change of 

clothes, actually."   n.n;;

>You decide to follow Ukyou.

>Ukyou-oni pulls Rei by the hand, without really thinking about it, "I don't 

think my stuff would fit you too well..." and heads back to her place... Then 

she realizes she's holding hands and pulls it back, red line on her cheeks . o 

O ( Che... )

>Ukyou heads towards Ucchan's okonomiyaki-ya.

>Ukyou leaves and you follow behind.

Ucchan's second story



This is Ucchan's private abode, located just above the restaurant. You are in a 

short hallway with few doors and a ladder on the far wall, leading to a 

trapdoor towards the roof.  A picture of a broad man with a stern gaze, a 

straight black beard and no mustache decorates a wall.  One of the doors has a 

spatula-shaped piece of wood reading 'Ukyou' on it.

[Exits   : (U)kyou's room, (B)athroom, (S)tudy, (C)limb the ladder [Private], 

and (D)ownstairs ]

[Players : Ukyou ]

[Things  : None ]


>Ukyou enters with Rei following behind.

>Rei follows Ukyou, not quite sure what she's up to   n.n;

>Ukyou-oni says, "Hang on... and smack goes into her room, she tosses a large 

brush into Rei's hand, "Brush your hair a tad, I'll see if there's anything 

your size in clothes.

>Rei stares for a sec, but does so. He looks like he could use it, certainly. 

Not that it helps; apparently he's part of the Cloud Strife school of 

hairdressing.

>Ucchan shuffles in her room, apparently changing.

>Rei stands outside, looking rather depressed, if one were watching.

>Ucchan comes back, holding black pants and a yellow vest, "Got something, 

Ryouga lost his pack once and it's got this spare."  Now she's wearing a 

bathrobe.

>Rei blinks. "Ano...?" He holds out his arms, taking the outfit and handing the 

brush back to Ukyou.

>Ucchan says, "A friend of mine..." and nods emphatically, brushing some hair 

behind her shoulder.

>Rei looks down. "Oh." He glances back and forth finally settling on the 

bathroom.

>Ucchan says, "Use it, just don't take a shower, damn water's all wrong."

>Rei sweatdrops. "Er... gotcha."

>Ucchan (OOC) I'm off myself, exhausted...

>Rei (OOC) See ya then   n.n;
