Mike and Kumori

[Danielle]

Kumori smiled brightly, walking by Mike's side. She saw the way Mike looked at her in her dress and knew what he was planning. It was nice to have someone who loved her like Mike did, and who thought she was beautiful and sexy even with her scars. "I love you, Mike." she said happily.

only a few months after the event, there was no sign or mention of Vampires in the neighboring towns. However everyone in the group was relieved to have their vampire back and safely intact. For a while, the days were peaceful. It was a nice break from all the fighting and portal jumping theve endured in the recent events. But now came one obsticle that the group had to face; Ayaka and Crohn's relationship.

Finn alloud Mike, Kumori, their children, as well as the rest of the younglings to stay in the extra rooms in his costume shop. However, Crohn and Ayaka chose to stay in a nearby abandoned barn with Gor considering his size and felt it wrong to leave him with no company. Actually, it turned out that the barn became the more common social gathering than Finn's shop as Mike, kumori, Cielio, Gunk, and Amei visted very frequently only the parents of Delsina and Damien would return to the shop to look after their precious children. Now that theyve become toddlers, everyone came to "visit" the barn more and more until finally Crohn's friends decided to take of the issue between him and Ayaka once and for all.


"eh? What did you say Gunk?" Mike requested Gunk to repeat his proposal.

"W-Well...Dont you think theyd be happy together, Mr. Crohn and Ms. Ayaka...?" gunk clarified

Crohn and Ayaka were already out trying to find more food out in the woods while the rest conversed inside the barn. Finn was unavailable, needing to attend his services at the shop.

Gor chuckled a little at the thought of Crohn being with such a female, "Well, they do seem to be quite friendly with eachother as it is. It would appear that the woman's memories have more or less returned."

[Danielle]

Kumori, holding Damian on her hip while Delsina ran around her and Mike, nodded. "I agree. I think they like each other already, but they're both too shy to admit it."

Amei nodded. "I think they would be happy together, too..." she said, holding Gunk's hand shyly.

"Gor~" Delsina giggled, attempting to climb on him. She was a very energetic little toddler who loved her dad's silly jokes, where as her brother was more quiet and liked when Kumori told him stories.

[soulknight18]

Cielio was pirching on the open window seal of the barn, but was still listening to the conversation, giving a nodding glance back at gunk that he agreed with his idea.

Gor wouldnt allow anyone to notice, but the beserker cracked a tiny smirk as he looked down at the lively youngling, attempting her hardest to climb into his enormous lap. He gently picked up Delsina by the collar of her tiny shirt with the tips of his massive claws as he said, "Careful, little one..." then returned her to Mike.

Mike cradled her daughter as he continued the conversation, "Well, yeah its clear the two should be dating, but when it comes to romance ones too proud to admit it while the other is too dumb to notice...no offense to our frealess leader, but, you get my point.

[Danielle]

Kumori nodded, shifting Damian again so he was more comfortable. "I could try and talk to Ayaka." she said. "We're pretty close, I'm sure I could convince her to tell Crohn how she feels."

Delsina whined until Mike put her down, running over to Gunk and Amei. "Pway~!" she demanded, smiling.

"You wanna play? Well, how about we play tickles?" Amei smiled, ticking her little niece. The toddler giggled and squirmed, eventually getting away and attempting to tickle Gunk.

[soulknight18]

Gunk chuckled a little, though, the toddler wasnt even accurate in Gunk's sensitive spots. But instead, he let her have her fun until he came back, and tickled her belly for a moment.

Mike nodded to Kumori's suggestion but then he added his own idea, "How bout we set them up on a date then?"

"a date?" Gor quoted, not familiar with the term.

"Yeah, ya know, a couple going out on the town, see a movie and have dinner?"

"how exactly do you plan to have them do that when there are NO such places that would allow nor tolerate Crohn's pesence?"

"Well, when me and Kumori first met, we went to this...unique resturant, where they allowed demons like us to dine and hang out." he turned to his wife for confirmation, "right babe? You think a place like that could be here?"

[Danielle]

Delsina giggled, squirming a bit. "Nuuu~..." she whined, running back to her dad. "Tickles~!" she announced, attempting to tickle him.

Kumori smiled, watching her daughter. "There should be a place, somewhere out of the way where humans wouldn't usually go to. I could try to find it."

Damien finally climbed out of Kumori's arms, heading over to Cielio. "Hi~" he said happily.

[soulknight18]

"Huh, yeah, would you do that? As you can see, the little girl takes after her mama; she cant get ebough of me." he chuckled as he picked up her daughter, tickling her in the belly with the tip of his claws as he made a tiny hiss noise in the back of his throat.

Cielio noticed Damien aproach him and glanced at him as he said, " Holla, little emigo. You want to see Uncle Cielio now. He then fluttered down to where damien was, standing just a few feet taller than him, just above Gunk as well.

[Danielle]

Delsina giggled and squirmed. "Nuuu~..." she giggled, curling up in his arms. "Dada, nooo~..."

Damien smiled, hugging his uncle. "I wuv Unca Ciewio. Te amo" he said, knowing a bit of Spanish from hearing Cielio and Kumori speak it.

[soulknight18]

Cielio smiled a bit and patted the little boy on his soft head, "Gracias, amiguito..."

Gor snapped kumori's attention, "you get that kumori? see if you could find such a place, before assuming the plans further."

"woah, Gor, yer actually into this?" Mike asked, a little astonished by the big grumps support as he put his little girl over the back of his neck.

[Danielle]

Damien smiled brightly up at him. "Unca Ciewio know stowies?" he asked.

Kumori nodded. "I understand. I'll find one as soon as I can." She kissed Mike's cheek. "Do we need anything while I'm out?"

"Cookies~" Delsina said, smiling brightly. "Get cookies, Momma."

Hearing her, Damien looked over. "Book?"

Kumori smiled. "I'll see what I can do." She said and left.

[soulknight18]

(Umm, its only been like 8 months since they were born, you sure they would have a vocabulary this big at such a young age?)

Cielio scratched his head, "Um...What kind of story...?"

Mike raised Delsina off his shoulders and placed her back on her lap as he said with vague sterness, "Now, now, Delsina, I think the last thing you need is suger." he then smiled as he gave his little girl a big kiss on the forehead, "How bout you and your brother play a game?"

[Danielle]

(Well, Damien is really smart, so yea. And, they're also half-vampire so they develop a bit quicker than normal. Which is why they're like toddlers now. But, usually toddlers can understand more than they speak when they're young. But, yea... I checked out the stuff for about 16 months, and I'll tone it down a bit. It's just not as much fun when they can't talk. XD www.babycenter.com/0_your-16-month-olds-language-and-cognitive-development-fine-t_1213782.bc if you're interested)

Damien shrugged. He just liked stories, it didn't really matter what kind. "Stowy."

"Game~" Delsina smiled brightly. "Pway game~"

[soulknight18]

(ok)

Cielio was about to say something until Mike called damien, "Damien, you want to play with your sister?"

[Danielle]

Damien shook his head. "Nu-uh. Stowy." he said.

"Nuuuu, pway." Delsina pouted. "Damen, pway."

"Nuh. Stowy." he said, moving a bit closer to Cielio.

"Pway..!" the little girl started getting louder, seeming like she might start throwing a tantrum. "Pway, pway, pway!"

[soulknight18]

"Hey, hey!" Mike scolded gently, "Dont boss your brother." he then picked up her daughter and moved over to where Cielio was as he said, "How bout this, We'll play a game where each of us tells a little story, starting with Cielio. that alright with everyone.

Cielio nodded, agreeing with the idea, though he was a little unsure of himself.

Gor merely shrugged not careing, while Gunk held on to Amei's hand gingerly as he said, "Sure...though I dont know any good stories."

[Danielle]

"Stowy~" Damien said happily, reaching up for Cielio to hold him.

Delsina nodded, smiling. "Pway~..." She curled up in Mike's arms, happy that she got her way. Or, at the very least, she felt like she did.

"That's okay." Amei told him quietly. "I don't really know any stories, so I'm going to make one up."

[soulknight18]

Cielio wasnt very good at making up stories, obviously. But he did the best he could in his most potent english and began a story. "Ehh...Once upon a time...there was......Me and Gunk."

"I'm part of the story?" gunk looked both touched and confused.

"Yes, but shoosh. Anyways...Me and Gunk...were...on an adventure! Yes, and we were going to save...the princess of...of...Kumoriland!"

Mike glanced at Gor and whispered with a sarcastic remark, "Apparantly my wife is named after a country..." he snickered as he repositioned his daughter in his lap.

"And uh...The princess had to be saved by the Evil demon king...because he's very bad, and the princess would be sad if we had not saved her, right Delsina and Damien?"

[Danielle]

The two toddlers nodded, enjoying that their family was involved in the story. "Save~" Damien said, smiling. Delsina nodded, curling up on Mike's lap.

Amei took over. "So, Cielio and Gunk had to go to the evil king's castle." she said. "But, on the way they ran into.. uhm... A big tree-monster! And the tree monster said 'I don't want you walking through my forest!' He moved in front of them and put down his roots, so that Cielio and Gunk couldn't get passed."

"Oh no..." Delsina frowned a bit, wondering what would happen now. Damien looked curious as well.

[soulknight18]

Cielio was surprised that Amei added to his story, but he apreciated the help as he continued, "Uh, yes! So, the tree thing was now blocking our way, but Gunk had a plan."

"I did?" Gunk said, confused

"Yes, you used your special power; the super spit! You spat out a huge logy and melted away the roots."
