Ryujin keikain: my yokai

22: family

Jirin: so kokai... You like our Ryuji?

Kokai: um. He's really nice to me.

Jirin: I see.

Kokai: actually... How did you know about my mama being trapped as a soul?

Jirin: I fought him once or twice. Don't tell anyone I said this but Ryuji's father is actually... Off... Than me by... Let's say... Not just a little.

Kokai: eh. I see.

Jirin: here here I made something good for you.

Kokai: eh... That wasn't necessary though...

Jirin: its ok. Just drink it.

Kokai: oh. Ok.

" mother!!! " ryuji walks in and takes over the cup and pours it away.

Ryuji: don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

Jirin: how would you know it would work on her? She's half yokai.

Ryuji: that's not the point. Don't you go drugging her.

Jirin: its for your own good.

Ryuji: you mean yours.

Jirin: how bad would that be for you?!!! It's probably just entertainment for you!!!

Kokai just blushed " erm... "

Ryuji: hmph.

Kokai: its ok. I didn't drink it anyway.

Jirin: damn it.

Kokai: don't worry. About... That. Grandchildren... We'll tell you if it happens ok.

Jirin: oh yes yes. Good girl. Hmph. Unlike someone.

Yura: gomen... My mama is like that.

Kokai: its ok. I never had a mother so I think it's fine.

Yura: oh. Right. Gomen.

Kokai: its ok. Neh... If I die, do you think I can maybe take ryuji's name?

Yura: kokai...

Kokai: never mind... I am a rikin after all. Keikains will never accept me neh.

Yura: it doesn't matter isn't it? You just want to be nii-san's

Kokai: um. I just thought maybe...

She felt a sudden jolt pulling her backwards " maybe my name to yours would mean that you're mine? " he squeezed her from the back. " you don't need that. You're mine. Nothing can change that. "

Kokai: ryuji...
