   Yukine tosses a ball into the air, slamming it into the ceiling and it falls back into his hands. Hiyori has already left, and Yato is no where to be found. He turns and looks towards the clock on the nightstand. "How long has it been since he disappeared?" Yukine mumbles and groans turning onto his back and staring at the ceiling. "Could he be on one of his little depression benders? Will he walk in covered in seaweed again?" Yukine sits up and looks towards the door. "Will he walk in at all?" He tries his ball against the door and it bounces back to him. "Have I finally gotten rid of him?!" His voice goes high with excitement and he cheers out happily jumping to his feet.  "What should I do now since he's gone?" He mutters and places his hand to his chin in a thinking motion. "Hmm... Well, why not walk around for a bit! It's pretty stuffy in this house." Nodding to himself, he marches off grabbing a camera and hanging it around his neck before walking outside and marches through the streets. 

   His bangs flop against his forehead as he walks around. He sees a small fluffy cat sitting on the ledge of a brick wall, lazily flicking its tail around as it sunbathes. He clicks the camera on and takes a photo then he moves onto the next place. He walks into a bustling  street and   takes  pictures of random things, like a lamppost, or a fat pampered dog on a leash. He walks down an alley and takes pictures of some graffiti, then he turns away and walks around some more before finding his way in front of a cherry blossom tree. He clears his throat and takes a picture of it. He pulls the camera down and looks up at the petals blowing in a gentle breeze.

   "You did really good." He whispers and places a hand to the bark of the tree and closes his eyes. A warm feeling spreads through his body and he smiles gently as he rubs his hands along the base of the tree.

   "Why are you molesting the tree?" A voice calls and he jumps turning around and a girl stands there. Her hair is pulled back from her face and she's wearing a simple t-shirt and a plain skirt. Her head tilts as she looks at Yukine. "Why did you look so puzzled?" She asks and he swallows as his head tries to click in the details.

   She... she can see me! Oh no... this isn't good at all.....

<<<KAZUMA>>>

He taps onto his laptop, night falling over the area like a blanket. The screen shines off his glasses and he drags things into files and typing some more. His eyes scan over the files and feeling content, he breaths out a sigh of relief before his door rips open and he lets out a screech before slamming his laptop shut.

"Kazuma!" Karuha calls and he stares down at the little girl. "I have a question for you!"

"Okay, what is it?" He asks and kneels down to get to her eyes level.

"You milk cows for milk." She says and Kazuma nods. "So, do you milk a normal human?" He looks down and laughs slightly.

"Well, no, but babies do drink milk from their mother." He says and she nods as she yells down the hallway.

"Kazuha! I was riiiigghhhht!" She yells and begins to run off but stops short and looks over to Kazuma. "You weren't watching any funny videos were you?" She asks Kazuma tilts his head looking at her.

"Like what kind of videos?"

"Well, I overheard a conversation between some guys and they said that on earth, young boys around your age watch funny videos because it is very pleasing for them."

"Okay! It's time for you to go!" Kazuma shouts and pushes her out and shuts the door. Shaking his head he rubs the temples of his forehead and takes his glasses off. "Yato, what you said yesterday...." He mutters and rolls falls back looking up at the roof. "Ahh, they are just dreams, she.... She's not real..." He whispers and his eyes begin to grow heavy. "They can't be real." He mutters and teams and his eyes shut as he begins to go into a slumber.

"Hahhaha! Catch me if you can!" She called as she ran ahead of him. He sprints , as hard as He can but she is a lot faster than the young boy. His breath came in with ragged and jagged snorts as he tried to catch up. He stumbled to a stop and she soon came back and peeked at his face as he stood there doubled over. "Are you alright?" She asked and a short laughter came from behind him. He turned his head and tossing an apple up and down in the air was another young boy.

"Calm down Ducky!" He said to the young girl and she frowned as he walked forward. "He's fine!" He bet down and peered into the boys green eyes, and the boy glares back at him. "Isn't That right Kazu."

"Yeah!" He said and the girl smiled as she clapped her hands and laughed.

"You know I hate being called Ducky, why do you keep calling me that?"

"Because your hair goes all over the place like that one duck's feather we saw!" He said and she glared as the boy laughed. Kazu stares at the girl, his heart pounded in his chest and he stepped forward and smiled at her.

"I like your hair." He said and she smiled at him.

"Thanks Kazu!" She said and turned around and began to walk.

"You only say that cause you like her!" The little boy said and Kazu turned bright red.

"I do not!" He shouted and the boy rolled his eyes and turned to the girl. "Well I like her!"

"You do?" He muttered and her eyes turned bright.

"You do?!" She cheered and Kazu glared as he turned away.

"I was going to say, we should have a competition! A race, and whoever wins gets to take Ducky to get dumplings!" He said and Kazu frowned. "But since you don't like her, I guess I'll just go with her myself."

"No! Let's race!" Kazu shouted and the boy smiled as he nodded and they both stood behind the girl.

"To the shrine and back! First one to high five Ducky wins!" He says and Kazu nodded as they turned and faced the path down to the shrine.

"Ready, set, GO!" She cheered and off they went.
