*Rinyu and Ren ran out the door and went after Ryou*
------------At The Park------------
Ryou: Ah! Here you are.
*A small low level sprite poke its head out from the bush*
Piru: Pii.. -rubs head against Ryou's leg*
Ryou: It's okay. I'm here. I brought food too! -takes out a bag of petfood-
Piru: Pii? -sniffs-
Ryou: I don't really know whether you eat petfood or something else. Hehe.
Piru: Pii.. -licks food- -eyes sparkle- PIIII~<3
Ryou: It seems you like it. I'm glad.
Piru: pii umnyomnomnomnomnom.. -burps-
Ryou: Heh? How cute.
*Piru stiffens*
Ryou: What's the matter?
*The bush shaking wildly*
Ryou: What is-
*Piru stood infront of Ryou and hisses at the bush*
*The shaking stop.. Instead.. the other sprites that appeared came out again This time with more of them.*
Ryou: I see. Piru, I'll protect you. -left eye changed from brown to burning gold- Sprite level, 8.536. Speed, 6 to 8 each. Ability, illusion. I see. This is easier than I thought. Even though there's fifteen of you. Sadly I can't tame you guys like Piru.
*The 15 sprites roared*
Ryou: Scarlet Eye activate. - left eye colour change from gold to red- First, breathe in. Second, preparation stance. Third, concentrate. Fourth, look through their illusion and find the main source. -eyes scan through all of the sprites.
*All sprites attack*
*Ryou dodged all of them and could move faster*
Ryou: There! -left eye colour changes from red to blue- The others are illusions. You. Are. Dead.
*The sprite shivers*
*Ryou took the sprite and stab it with a spiritual blade*
Ryou: Don't come back. -glares-
*sound of footsteps*
Rinyu: Ryou! Ryou!
Ryou: -eye colour changes back to normal- Yes, Rinyu-nee?
Ren: Ah! You shouldn't run out by yourself. It's dangerous around here ya' know?
Ryou: How old do you think I am? -pouts- I can manage myself well. Hmph!
Rinyu: Well, did you find the stuff that you forgot?
Ryou: -glances to the bush where Piru is- Ah, yeah. Let's go home. -smiles-
Ren: Seriously, making us worried like that!
Rinyu: Well, at least nothing happen to him.
Ryou: Ah, I have to make okaa-san's favorite dish tonight! Hehe. Come on let's go!
Rinyu: okay..
--------------meanwhile at Cross Order-----------------------------
*sound of flipping pages of a book*
Miyu: Aki. You should rest for a while.
Aki: No. I want to search for a way to let Akatsuki Rinyu bloom further.
Miyu: You've been flipping book in the research room for quite some time. You should rest. I brought dinner. It's Chef's new recipe. He asked me to bring this here.
*Miyu places down Aki's dinner*
Aki: Okay, I'll eat first. Do you know a way to train spirit users Miyu?
Miyu: I'm not sure. Maybe next time I could use telepathy on Rinyu and detect her brainwaves. Maybe I could identify something.
Aki: That might work.
Miyu: Well, I'll go first. See ya.
Aki: Yeah.
*Miyu walks out the door*
Aki: -eats the stuffed chicken- Oh wow. This is really good food. Chef's food is the best after all.
-----------------------------Akatsuki Residence------------------------
*sound of door unlocking*
Mama: I'm back!
Ryou: welcome back!
Rinyu: Welcome back kaa-san!
Ren: What weird stuff did you bring back again Old Hag.
Mama: Eh? What do mean by weird stuff? The things I bring back are always useful! And don't call me that!
Ren: Which part of this voodoo thing is useful?!
Mama: You know, Mama have this rival at work and I would use that voodoo to curse that bastard! -eye fires up-
Rinyu: Kaa-san! You can't do that.
Mama: Oh yes I can. But it kind of doesn't work hehe.
Ryou: -facepalm- seriously Mama. Oh by the way, mama! I've made you dinner.
Mama: Oh! I was thinking of eating out but since you made it, I'll eat at home. Ryou-chan's cooking is ze best~
Ryou: Ahh.. Thanks.
Rinyu: Ah I'm going upstairs. I have to go to school early tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm preparing breakfast right?
Ryou: Yeah.
Mama: Ooh! I haven't tasted Rinyu's cooking for a long time.
Ren: Well tomorrow is an important day after all.
Mama: Ah..
*akward quietness*
Ryou: Papa's birthday.
Ren: Rinyu was close with papa wasn't she?
Mama: I remember when she was young, papa would carry her on his back and take her out to the park.
Ryou: But he left at an early age. I was still so small that I don't even remember papa's face.
Mama: Your papa, Akatsuki Kei is a great man. He and Rinyu's personality resembles. He is the only one I've ever loved. His smile is radiant. Whenever Mama thought about papa, I would feel better. Even if he's not here but I know he is still with us. All the time.
Ren: Rinyu worries me a lot. She have the type of personality that could easily be bullied.
Ryou: Yeah, she's too kind.
Mama: That's why you two guys must protect her okay?
Ryou: Unn!
--------------------Rinyu's room---------------------------------------

Rinyu: Papa, you know? I am a spirit user. Just like ancestor Ao! You used to tell me stories about him. I hope I can hear them again... but I can't .. you're not here any more. I miss you papa. -sniffs-
*voice*
Papa: Rinyu. I'm glad. Don't cry. I'm proud of you.
Rinyu: Papa? Where are you?
Papa: I'm always here. I have to go now. Goodbye my sweet daughter.
Rinyu: Papa, wait!
*the room fell into silence again*
Rinyu: What was that?-sniffs- I can hear papa! Could it be because of my ability? -sniffs-
