When: Sunday night
Summary: Ani Toguro goes to retrieve the captive and Miss Edith.
With both of his arms folded behind his back, the short shapeshifter decided to knock on the door even if it was less amusing than using the window it was faster. Eager to play with the new acquaintance. "Karasu! You better be there" he snickered wickedly.
Of course he was there...busy but there. Violet eyes rolled skyward, tugging the long violet robe about himself as he strode to the door, having only just finished his bath, damp hair still curling about him he opened the door, giving Aniki a rather unimpressed look.
"Seems my visit was a bit unexpected" a pair of yellow eyed looked at Karasu from head to toe as if probing him with the sole gaze. "So, where is it"
"Mmm...." was the only answer, lips pursing as he gestured towards his bedroom. "He's in the closet."
The little demon paced inside, into Karasu's room where the closet was supposed to be. He reached for the door opening them, wrinkling his expression at the smell released.
The samurai had woken up earlier, still under the influence of the drug. Since he couldn't move around, he shifted to his imp form, wiggled out of the ropes and when Ani opened the closet door, peered out from behind on of the coats that he clung to with his bird like claws with wide yellow eyes, curious.
Karasu lazed in the doorway, studying the other as he opened the door, hand lifting immediately to grasp his mask from the end table, pressing it to his face.
There was nothing... "Karasu... are you pulling my leg?" He glared over his shoulder at the taller youkai. "There's nothing inside..."
The tengu blinked at the strange figures he saw through the swaying coats.. He didn't like the short one peering in the closet, reminded him of a creepy family pet...
That's where I left him, and honestly...you know I don't lie." Not at inconvenient times like this. Turning away, mask to his face he closed the bedroom door. "Perhaps he's hiding on the top shelf...."
"It's supposed to be big as a ningen, tsk tsk..." he spat back, stretching his neck upward to scan the top shelf, once more he found there was nothing. "Come and get him if you're so certain"
The imp wrinkled his little nose, feeling the coats sway more. He stayed still, watching...waiting...
"You do it." he shot back carelessly, eye narrowing in a hateful fashion. "If he isn't there then I will hunt him down once more, but I am not coming any closer....to you...simply to find some...brat..." he sneered softly, his tone ever mockingly polite
"Birds fear me, fact." Ani snickered in return and turned back to Karasu. "But I'd go close to anyone just to disturb them, don't you agree?"
Shishi's claws slipped on the coat, ripping the fabric and he squawked in surprise as he fell off. But instead of falling to the floor of the closet, he flew over to Karasu, the tengu latching to the front of Karasu's robe with wide yellow eyes.
"Anything with a brain would know not to trust you." he said with disgust, turning his head away pointedly. But a ripping sound caught his attention, and he turned his head towards the closet....just in time to see a blur of blue imp fly towards him and latch onto his robe!
Ani stared at that scene, a pair of beady yellow eyes .. well that was.. interesting. And thinking was bad, bad, bad... "Seems you found him, or maybe he found you?"
The imp hissed at Ani, this one reeked like something...horrid! His claws flexed, ripping into the robe, one resting on the sash of the robe to keep steady. But then he moved, letting go to move to sit on Karasu's head.
His hand rose, gripping and plucking at the tiny purple yukata. "If you open my robe or rip it further I'll feed you to one of my pets." he murmured in a pleasant, silken tone, petting Shishi like one would a baby kitten, keeping his thumb and forefinger (or trying to) pinched at the imp's neck.
"Karasu, and just when I thought you were proud of your looks" The demon sneered and took a step closer to the crow apparition.
Shishi looked at Karasu with wide eyes. "Your robe is ugly though," the imp said with a very serious tone, still clinging to Karasu's head but he was looking at Ani. "Is this one of your pets?"
"What would a bulbous midget happen to know of beauty?" he asked boredly, allowing a hint of a bomb to flicker into existence, coiling around the tiny tengu without activating.
Shishi assumed Karasu was talking to Ani and snickered with amusement but yelped when he was grabbed. His claws flexed, trying to remain where he was. Things shifted again and the imp held on tighter, not wanting to fall.
"Careful now, little one...one wrong move and you won't exist anymore..." he murmured, finger tickling at the other so gently as he tried to extricate him and bring him down closer to himself and Ani. "Those little bombs...aren't very nice."
"If you kill him Karasu, then we'll try the effects of the mirror on you. Deal?" he reached to catch the imp, long and thin nails stretching.
"Don't let that thing touch me, mother!" the imp snarled, baring fangs and claws flexed and ready to attack Ani.
".....I'm not a woman. You'd be wise to remember that." he said calmly.
Seems our little buddy knows your traits more than anyone in the team." Aniki snickered as he glanced aside, scanning through the different objects in Karasu's apartment. "Now come here, little birdie..."
Shishi's back claws held onto Karasu's hair tightly, snarling.
A tiny spark of an explosion sounded in Karasu's hair, doing nothing to harm him but possibly being a very...nasty surprise for the other.
And that made the imp freak out with a loud bird squawk. He flew back, hitting the window. He need to get away, there were too many colors, sounds...things...he reached back to open the window, aiming to escape.
"Oh come here..." Ani followed the little bird and wrapped his index around Shishi's tiny body, pulling him back.-
Shishi clung to the window so it slid open at getting tugged back. "I don't want to go! You smell like rotten...rotten!"
"Rebellious newt!" He pulled him violently until the window opened widely. A gust of strong spring wind burst into the dark apartment recklessly.
At least Karasu was free and moved away to let Aniki take care of his little pet. He preferred not to have much to do with this chaos...though it was amusing to watch!!!
When the strong wind blew into the apartment, the imp's little kimono blew up for a few moments before Shishi realized what had happened and the tengu yelped, feeling really cold.
"Oh boy..." Ani snickered, his own gray hair violently wiped backward by the wind. And he turned to Karasu, there was a half nude imp now..
Karasu shivered, wrapping his arms about himself as he glared at them both. Eyes narrowed before turning away.
Shishi wiggled around to get the robe to settle down once more and sunk his claw's into what Ani was holding him with, hissing.
"You little!" The demon hurled Shishi at the floor, he hadn't expected the silly bird to be daring enough to bite him. He spotted miss Edith sitting on the table and picked her up with one hand. "Its been a while"
"My my my...." he drawled, lifting his hand and allowing the slim ropes of explosives about Shishi to glow slightly, harmlessly. "Ani control your new toy."
Shishi tumbled to the ground and skittered off but ran into one of Karasu's legs and fell over, looking up for a moment before falling over, dizzy.
He covered Miss Edith's eyes with one hand "Sush.." and stared at the show... that was.... something he had never imagined to happen. "Um... " Yes, the shapeshifter was wordless. "Well, seems he has seen more than us, ne?"
"......" Karasu almost felt violated. But merely allowed a bomb to grow up from the carpet and try and close around the dizzy imp.
Shishi used Karasu's leg to get up, deciding not to look up and backed away from the bomb, yellow eyes wide. He edged away, towards the cough...perhaps he could fit under it..
The shapeshifter snickered devilishly. "Now now, don't kill him. Just mangle him a bit .. as long as its still alive enough to experiment with him"
"Where are you going?" he cooed as he turned to follow the imp, allowing bombs to pop from the carpet around Shishi, cackling playfully.
This freaked the tengu out and he wiggled under the couch, looking at Karasu and Ani from where he was hiding with those wide yellow eyes with dilated pupils.. Yes, this was a nice spot, dark and so.....dark.
The shapeshifter's fingers reached for the imp wrapping him almost completely from tow to mouth barely allowing him to breathe "Enough of your perverted games, twit. Time to go home to play"
"Have fun you two." he said insincerely as he strode from the room, moving towards the door.
Shishi squawked, struggling to get away, his yellow eyes wide. But he was tired and dizzy, his attempts to claw Ani were in vain.
"Better" Ani said triumphantly and turned back to the door. "I'll ask him later what he saw, Good night Karasu-kun"
Karasu allowed them to lead before closing the door sounding, wanting no more intrusions. He needed another bath now....peace and quiet after that...rather odd interruption.
