Hit and Run....Wait...come again?

He was walking down the streets of Tokyo his mind a buzz right now with feeling like he was caught at a cross roads and it wasn't helping one bit that he didn't know which way to go. Before he left Rhealm he had been given a velvet box within it was a set of golden earrings his family crest on that side and a necklace with the duel arrow head and ring....since he was not required to wear a collar as he was not a Tod Hund...and surprise yet again upon arriving at the castle Kyoki had scolded him for NOT wearing them!. So he had re-pierced his ears and slipped the necklace on and began walking this morning trying to clear his thoughts One hand in his pocket as he walked along the people milling about were all gossiping about something though and if he was paying attention it might have better prepared him for this...might have...then again might not....

Jigoku rounded a corner and for whatever reason his ears his nose what he wasn't sure failed him but he slammed into something or rather someone else that had been moving at high speeds Jigoku landed on his ass with the other in his lap and as he was staring up at the sky a moment. Ouch came to mind and yet he did not shift matter to redirect the impact why? Because it would have likely hurt the one who collided with him worse if he had. "Are you alright?" He asked the one who was in his lap...instead of some flippant watch where you were going...he figured since it was partly his fault for not paying attention anyways.

He had been having so much fun. Skating was really the best way to go sight seeing in a city like this, but he hadn't really been paying attention to his friend's warnings as they called out to him, "Urs!" "Ursa!"

When he collided with someone though, he was saved by them, making him feel rather guilty since he could hardly understand what the man was saying to him. His Japanese skills were terrible, only on the level of a tourist at this point, he could only apologize as he stood up and dusted himself off before bowing and apologizing again. His accent, however, made it obvious that he was certainly not from around here. "Gomen'nasai..Hontō ni gomen'nasai..."

Jigoku got up as the guy got up as well and he looked at him so different...his hair his dress, the color of his skin even was different he had met people from Russia and from Italy, America, Germany....heck even Tsuin Sekai and the Moon....but this one? His accent placed him here though on Earth...native and he was willing to bet....this one needed a break...thankfully he lived and worked in a castle...where learning a few languages was well....by simply knowing the people there more or less. Perhaps...simply breaking the language barrier for this one might help. "Sore wa hontōni, daijōbudesu. Eigo o hanasemasu ka?" Jigoku confirmed in return. Telling him it was alright and then the last part he repeated taking a wild gamble....there clothing was not Japanese that was for sure...might as well start making stabs in the dark and if he was wrong....welll. He was a big dog he could handle a bit of egg on his face. "Do you speak English?" He asked in return noting the heavily broken accent.

Partly because at one point it became important to English for Aoi's sake. Jigoku though as he asked he was accented not so badly broken it wasn't understandable but accented enough that it was clear it was not his native tongue.

He looked at him for a bit, almost seeming confused, but as his mind put together the little bit of Japanese that he did know, he sighed and nodded yes in response to the question of if he spoke English. "Oi mate, I didn't think I'd ever find anyone who knew English," he said as he looked at him relieved to find an English speaking native. Hardly anyone he had talked to knew what he was saying, and it was the reverse for him- most of the time he didn't understand anyone else outside of his friends and the other skaters from English speaking countries.

"I'm sorry for running into you though mate, I wasn't listening to my friends when they were trying to warn me you were there," he apologized as he smiled at him.

Jigoku shook his head. "Its fine. I'm alright not a scratch." He said looking at him.  Hearing the way he talked and he swore if his ears weren't human they'd be moving right now trying to learn the the highs and lows of the way he spoke it was so different. But this was...new to him. Touching interacting someone being near him without instantly hissing because of the heavy stench of silver that clung to his skin and breath.

"There was a time....when English was popular to learn around here in Japan, now it's a fading custom." He said shaking his head sadly...but he glanced at him as he almost seemed to be floating not standing as did his friends there legs moving slightly back and forth as if to hold a steady position and he was...curious. "What brings you here?" he asked curious he knew what skating was....he'd had his tail ran over enough times by Kira's daughter when she was roller skating around the castle years ago...he knew that all to well....Those wheels and his tail did not get along...They seemed to have this desire to see if they could break it...Considering he hadn't seen this one and this one hadn't heard his friends warning those evil little things had plotted to get him alright....they had sped up and collided with him so that he landed on the pavement backside first driving that sealed tailbone right into the ground sending spiking paining right up through the spine.

It didn't even dawn on Jigoku that his hand was still resting lightly under this one's elbow lightly supporting him up as he talked to him about his colliding with him this and that...It was so hard to not want to just hug him...for allowing Jigoku to....touch him without threats of terrible bodily harm to being maimed.....

Ursu listened to him, his accent was so interesting. It was faint, but it was clear he was a native Japanese speaker even though it was hard to even pick up on if you weren't listening closely. He chuckled though, when Jigoku said that he didn't have a scratch on him and shook his head a little. "I'm glad mate, I hope I didn't run over your feet or anything...I should have been paying more attention," he said, but at the question of what he was in Japan for, he kicked his skateboard up and caught it in his hand and looked at Jigoku's hand. "You wanna let me go so I can show you why I'm here?" he asked lowly, but it wasn't upset or angry. In fact, he was actually a little embarrassed.

But when he was able to move freely, he lifted his skateboard up a little to show Jigoku and smiled as he answered enthusiastically, "I'm here in a pro. skate tournament with some friends of mine. We were just doing some sightseeing in the city our own kind of way."

Jigoku blinked as he asked if he could....and..."Oh..." he murmured and quickly let go if he could have blushed he would have as it was an embarrassed whine almost left him. After he let go of the guy he flipped his board up and looked at him Jigoku had to focus on is voice on his words....to actually force himself to focus on what this one was saying because he certainly wasn't wanting to he kept finding himself distracted. "A pro skate tournament?" he asked tipping his head. "I' don't know all that much about them the most of I've seen of anything like them was this young girl I know roller skating around me every morning and her twin on one of those always trying to protest her".....chasing her on a skateboard of his own....and somehow both of those twins always managed to find where he was napping and run over his tail with there wheels.

"I 'll admit now you've got me curious about more then I've been in the past...sightseeing on the back of them? You've managed to take in much of Tokyo that way?" Jigoku asked curious indeed how sightseeing on the back of a skateboard would work out for them.

He laughed a little and nodded at the repetition of the words "Pro. Skate". "Yeah. I'm skating in the Nippon Jam for three days, then at the end of it, there's supposed to be some big band playing and fireworks in honor of the winners of each area of the tournament. It's gonna be big mate," he explained as he looked at him with such a big smile. This was his passion, his dream come true. He was a pro. skater who could compete in international tournaments and was sponsored. It was amazing.

He laughed again when Jigoku asked if he had seen much of Tokyo while skating around. "Yeah mate, we've covered most of the city in just a couple of hours. It's hella rad," he answered as he tucked his skateboard under his left arm and stood there looking at the Inu.

He chuckled as this one seemed so excited about everything. The way he talked about 'skating' that Jigoku wasn't fond of because of well his tail for one...but this one made it seem much more....then a means for running over his tail. "Ah manners are evading me today...I'm Jigoku Inu.." He said not bothering to telling him he was lead singer of Fatal Attraction or that his manager was dropping hints of a really good up coming gig now that he wasn't sick...although the lack of piercings was bothering his manger. Not mind you that, that would stay that way for long....new concert new piercing it was just his thing....first one had planned out too....before going on stage it was a rush to have it done mere moment's before and he did them all....

"Was there anything in Tokyo you wanted to see and haven't found yet?" Jigoku asked curious since they seemed to be covering good ground....although a couple of hours....he never skated on one of those so he didn't know the thrill of it....he did however know the pain of it when it ran over his tail so he wasn't fond of those things in just thankful he was in human form....and his tail was safely out of line of fire.  He was curious about this pink haired vampire before him the hints included having to meet some guy named after a consultation to discuss beats for the event.....something about the timing of the tracks...who knew. It never once occurred to him that his was the band that this one was referring to...or that he might remember it because of the oddity of the translation of his name vs the band name Jigoku Inu, lead singer of Fatal Attraction...and yeah...Jigoku did it on purpose. It got a laugh out of his brother at least.

He looked at him for a minute, letting the name sink in before his face lit up and he pointed at Jigoku, as rude as it was. "You're Jigoku mate? Ah man, talk about luck!" he exclaimed as he smiled and held out his hand to shake it. "My name's Ursu Agni, but I'm known by Ursa or Ursa Major in the pro. skate world. You can call me Urs or Ursa though. Either one is fine," he told him happily as he smiled at him.

He was obviously very self oriented, but it was a very oblivious type of self-involvement that children would have. He seemed a little innocent, if not ignorant, of the world around him at times and if the truth were known, it was because as much of a smart guy as he was, Ursu was still very much like an innocent child.

He paused though when he was asked if he hadn't found anything he'd wanted to see yet, and thought about it very seriously, but after a while of thinking, he sighed and shook his head, "I don't think they're anything left that I was told I had to see in the city mate. We've been out here on the streets for a while now, so everything has pretty much already been seen and we took pictures of it..."

Jigoku all but laughed and shook his hand in return as he was introduced to him. "Well at least now my manager's ramblings this morning make sense." he said good matured but as he listened to him he did seem wrapped up in his own world but there was an innocence to it that Jigoku hadn't heard in a very long time. "Yeah, I'm him." He said in agreement finding all of this amusing it was the sort of thing he hadn't come across in a long time. It was almost refreshing.

Seen just about everything....."Tokyo tower, The Tokyo dome of course....then there's Ryu Castle..." He mused wondering if they had been to the south end of the city since he ran into them coming from the north but then again one never knew where they started out from. "Although truthfully you'd never see the Ice garden from outside of the castle." He said thoughtfully thinking about the sights usually people wanted to see and those that they begged Rei to let them see and the nicknamed 'Ice garden' was named so due to the pale ice blue roses that grew there year round. Always in bloom and a living tribute and gift to Rei's most beloved. Kira could often be found in those garden's these days sitting among the flowers a soft smile in place and if one was lucky enough they would be treated to a 'phoenix song' from the effeminate vampire.  

That is of course when he wasn't tucked safely at Rei's side at the restaurant helping Saigo. Or in the throne room and then when he was in the garden guaranteed so too was Rei close by watching over him as Kira walked up whatever differences they had in the past were gone now as they had truly found each other again. Often it was just Kira laying cuddled up against Rei who was more then content to hold him....but he looked at these guys new to Japan and out of all the sights only one needed the permission of the royalty to see or to be escorted in by one such as Jigoku with promises to be on there best behavior. "There are a few others the Diet building some say is....but honestly I've never found the thrill....I"m not much into politics though..." he said shrugging which was probably why. He kept one hand shoved in his pocket having released Ursa's hand after shaking it politely a moment although he noted to himself a bit reluctantly. "Ursa....when your ready I don't mind going over tracks and if need be coming up with new...it wouldn't be the first time." Jigoku said relaxed and it wouldn't he often hit stage and winged a new number when something didn't go over well....his band sure as heck didn't appreciate it though. They often whined at him afterwards good naturedly of course.

He laughed when Jigoku mentioned his manager's ramblings. He figured it must have been interesting to hear someone talking about stars when talking about a person. Ursu also figured it was probably pretty cryptic when you didn't have the full story behind things too. "It's really nice to meet you mate. I've heard from my manager that you're getting really popular in Japan, and have started to leak into the overseas scene too. It's cool to meet a musician like you Jigoku," he told him honestly as he shook his hand and smiled at him.

But at the mention at the castle and other sights that were popular to see in Tokyo, Ursu chuckled a little and shook his head. "Sorry man, I'm afraid we already went up to the south side of the city and were just hanging out and practicing some extra sets before we had to go back to the hotel for some workouts..." he admitted lowly, bringing his hand up to rub the back of his head a little. He was actually pretty nervous, meeting someone like Jigoku was new to him. He hadn't ever really collaborated with anyone other than other skaters for anything before, so this was a new experience for him.

At the mention of the tracks for the performance though, he fell silent and lowered his hand and lowered his gaze to the ground a little. "To tell the truth Jigoku, I don't know much about music...at least, not professionally..."

Jigoku listened to him. "I see." He said to most of it and then when Ursa seemed to suddenly deflate at something he didn't know. It was like....Jigoku put his hand on Ursa's shoulder and leaned down to look at him almost upside from this angle helped....that he was naturally more flexable then a normal vampire thanks to the fact he was really an Inu. Not just in last name..."Truthfully you don't have to know my end of the music business Ursa. I don't know yours. So it's more of which beats could you skate to the best. Which would drag too much which would be fun..." Jigoku said as his hair and earrings were both doing what they did naturally hung towards the ground. Honestly he was just trying to cheer Ursa up.

"As to the ins and outs of what I do..." Jigoku said smiling as he straightened up easily. "that's for me to worry about. All you have to do is listen and let me know which ones honestly you could your friends could skate the best to. That's what laying out tracks is about....everything and anything else there is for me to worry about. Once you pick the beats that really 'move' you the rest is up to me. To either deliver and rock out or crash and burn, landing on my ass....and frankly...your the only one whose ever knocked me to my ass...." He said smirking but the clear good joking tone was there warmth no hard feelings kinda of thing and he didn't cause it didn't hurt. "If you ended up doing it again I wouldn't complain either...it's too much of a rush." Jigoku said with a wink in other words this sudden flying pink haired vampire landing in his lap hadn't upset or hurt him at all it had been been a real rush and wake up call to a rather lazy day.....one he wouldn't mind happening again and again......More or less Ursa was welcome to come around him whenever he liked.

Ursu wanted to shrink down to the size of mouse. Jigoku's comments had made him suddenly become very sheepish. "Oh um....I..." he mumbled lowly, fumbling through his mind, trying to think of a response. It was so hard to think when Jigoku had gotten so close to him!

"I guess I can come check things out then...I don't know if I'll be very helpful though..." he finally managed to say, after having gotten flustered at the sudden flirtiness of the Inu before him. He wasn't sure if it was something Jigoku did with everyone, or if he were seriously flirting with him. Either way, it was enough to fluster Ursu to no end.

He let his gaze wander though, as he sheepishly squirmed in place. Jigoku was so wonderful to look at. In comparison, Ursu looked like some kind of surfer bum. Khaki shorts and a plain black T-shirt with his long pink hair pulled up into a messy ponytail. He paled in comparison for sure.

Jigoku rose an eyebrow as he agreed. "Well then we'd need to get back to the south end of town since I doubt neither one of us want to go to Hiroshima were my Manger's office is her collection of the tracks..." Jigoku said easily seeing how much he squirmed made him want to lick his lips it brought out the hunter in the hound and he had to squash that fast. Otherwise he was likely to loose control of that side of his nature something he hadn't ever had to worry about before....impulse control. Lovely.

To him Ursa could not be more perfect. Beach bum looks or not...maybe that was just it, he was so natural looking comfortable at ease with himself.Because it was those very 'normal' looks he found himself desiring. "To hear them I have to bring.ya..back to...to my home." If he dared call it anything else other then his home he was certain Rei Takusen would be heart broken. Ryu castle was as much his home as it was the Royals. He and his brothers had protected it and he knew they were precious to Rei. So if he dared to ever call the castle. 'That place I'm staying....' or anything along those lines.....he'd break Rei's heart. And then....well Kyoki would kick his ass every which way from the Earth and back for having dared to Lie about his place in the castle and hurting Rei in the process. One did no hurt Rei without worrying about Kyoki baring fangs especially among the brothers. Honesty was always the best policy.

"I have them all there...." Jigoku looked at the board and noted how nervous he was....he could not help but smirk and he never thought about hiding what he was from anyone. Rei always told him that if someone liked him they'd like all of him or they weren't worth it...and that was when his maw was a melted mess and how was now any different? It wasn't. Jigoku looked at the skateboard and figured he'd have a bit of fun...." Race ya?" He said gesturing to the board. Let him skate give him something familiar to hold onto and get his center back....He didn't mind flirting and throwing Ursa off center for sure he was cute all flustered like that...but out here? They'd get no where fast...

Ursu almost made a sound of a mix of embarrassment and objection, since he knew very well things could get bad really fast. He never was very good at avoiding people when they made advances towards him. "Um...I should tell my friends first...they need to know not to wait for me," he blurted out, and instantly wanted to kick himself for being a fumbling, bumbling idiot.

He lowered his gaze and took a deep breath before he exhaled and looked back up at Jigoku and corrected himself, "What I meant was, I should go tell my friends that we're going to go work on the track list for the final day of the tournament. I don't want them to worry about me if I don't come back to the hotel for a while. I'll be right back mate, I promise." With that, he moved, turning and running back around the corner where his friends had been calling his name for a while now. He hadn't noticed until he rounded the corner though.

When he returned, he smiled and put the board down and put a foot on it. "You're on mate!"

Ursa had fumbled around a bit seemingly so shy and it was so hard to keep his mind nice and neat but he was managing just fine....of course once his brothers decided to tease him he didn't know where that would end up he had no idea what Kyoki would or wouldn't do since pushing Jigoku to cut loose was his favorite game."No worries." Jigoku said as he rushed around the corner to tell his friends were he was going so they wouldn't worry...but when he returned he was ready to go looking excited to be racing on the back of his board. But that aside...he nodded and smiled turning and shifted feeling all four paws on the ground he actually paused a moment and shook himself out he wasn't the twenty foot Inu that would do nothing but scare Ursa at the moment or worse he'd loose sight of him under his paws with how he'd be moving on that board. Besides...he wanted to run beside him not above him.

Standing up he turned and spoke. "You start." He said since he had a slight advantage he was moving quick the moment he started moving all four paws he figured he'd get the chance to at least see him in motion a moment before catching up. That....and he was curious how Ursa would take it that Jigoku Inu really was an 'Inu' an dog. His last name was fun people could tell him he was a dog and he could find no insult in it....it left many confused when they tried hurting him with that one in the past when he was first starting out all so long ago. Now? Now he was curious how Ursa who was vastly important to him took.....Jigoku being a dog...."I'll keep up." The earrings and necklace were still present a sort of chained collar that wasn't a collar and didn't need a leash he swore Sina was a clever brat of course this could have been Kicha's doing as well something to offer him some sort of protection without the need of a Reaper.

Ursu had only paused a moment, taking in the sudden shift in height of Jigoku and just smiled at him. It wasn't like he hadn't seen a lot of interesting abilities in the vampire world, it was just that he hadn't been prepared for it. But what really caught his interest was the way the already beautiful vampire looked now that he had shifted into his dog form. He wanted to just cuddle up to him and just snuggle the Inu. His fur looked so soft and silky that Ursu found himself wondering how it felt to the touch.

After a moment, he managed to shake himself free of his own thoughts though, letting out a very obvious confused "Huh?" before he realized what Jigoku had said and nodded. "All right mate. Be prepared to be surprised!" he told him as he pushed off, not taking the time to explain himself much. He knew he was technically cheating, but so was Jigoku. Using his ability to manipulate fire to his advantage, he propelled himself forward, increasing his speed.

Jigoku caught the sudden heat....the scent of the heat...."Hot...." He breathed as nose twitched and his ears flickered but then he was moving paws hitting the ground one stride two...he was watching him fly ahead of him propelled along on the board just loving it no doubt and then three and four and he was right next to him running beside him.

It was nothing to keep up this way....of course what he thought might be a light morning jog was turning into a full morning a run and not mind you that he minded at all. But keeping pace with Ursa was fun...he could hear the whirl of the wheels amazed they didn't give way or melt with the heat behind them but he couldn't really call him a 'cheater' because honestly.....this wasn't the peek of what Jigoku could do. He had no idea though that Ursa had been thinking about wanting to pet and cuddle....sure. Not that those things couldn't get him wound up it was just that as long as Ursa didn't find a 'sweet spot' he'd be fine....all dogs and Inu's had em....some the paws some the ears...or base of back before the tail....Jigoku's problem....when Ursa found it....so would Jigoku.

At the moment though this was just sheer fun...he burst ahead only enough to turn and indicate which way they needed to go to get to his place but then if Ursa took the lead again Jigoku wouldn't mind. How his hair stayed up in that ponytail had him curious....hot. Certainly fit Ursa just right in more ways then one. He'd save flustering the vampire for later....he didn't want to knock him off his board by commenting on him turning up the heat...or worse...give Ursa ideas about doing just that! He wanted to stay the smaller hound form and play beside him....couldn't do that if he had to pull out the I"m a twenty foot tall gate guarding dog of Ryu castle....no. That would spoil a good amount of it...for Jigoku. as it was.....he moved hunkering lower and darted ahead of Ursa flying around a bend and leading the way back towards Sakura Park which was across the street from Ryu castle. He was honestly having a blast how long had it been since he ran just for the sake of running? But once around the corner he moved again so that if Ursa came up to him or decided to dart ahead of him he'd have a clear shot....it was a game after all...win or loose he was enjoying it.

It was a blast really one moment he was in the lead then Ursa and visa versa and then...in the end....tied. Jigoku sat there a minute outside the castle gates panting as he looked at the lovely pinked haired vampire who had been racing him on that board of his....and it had been fun. After a moment he shifted back but was smiling.

"It's been a while since I've had a good run....that was fun." he said side glancing at Ursa as he straightened up and nodded. "Come on....the tracks are in my well room." He mused although the size of the rooms.....might as well be penthouses in an of themselves inside the castle...they were huge....of course part of that might be to accommodate his much larger form too who knew. He usually slept outside in his bigger state not in his room....too cramped....well until now. Jigoku started walking hand in his pocket through the gates which swung open of there own accord as if simply welcoming him home....or welcoming a guest. It still hadn't occurred to him at all that he had mentioned Ryu castle, and that he had mentioned bringing Ursa to his place he just failed to mention that Ryu castle was where he lived......

Ursu had followed him, going the direction Jigoku had indicated. It hadn't really dawned on him that he was going the direction of the giant, towering Ryu Castle. Only when he stopped and flipped his board up into his right hand and tucked it under his arm did he look at Jigoku like he had grown an extra head. "You live in Ryu Castle mate?" he asked in disbelief as he followed instinctively behind Jigoku as the gate swung open on its own, allowing them to enter the once closed and unbudging gates.

"No way...This is cool as hell!" he breathed as he walked along behind Jigoku, his head tipping back to look up at the towering dragon statues on either side of the entrance and his head moved from side to side, taking in every possible detail he could catch.

Jigoku smiled as he looked back at him. "Yeah." He said after a moment. "I...live here. Sorry I should have said Ryu Castle was my home..." He said as he looked at the doors as he walked with Ursa. He looked at the doors as the gates closed of there own accord behind them. The automated system was unique....it opened because of Jigoku sure but if Ursa had been an expected guest the system would have been adjusted for him. He walked with him and up to the large heavy doors which swung open of there own accord he used to push them open with little problem but now he didn't have to pull his hand out of his pockets. "My brothers and I do...we've had the honor of protecting the royals for a long time now. Recently I've decided to take up singing again...Rei gave me his blessing." He said as the doors opened and let them in.

"Just...don't shout...it tends to upset Neikan, this is the time he's usually.....relaxing and it irritates him. The royals are all aware I've returned and I'm sure before the day's out you'll have met everyone....as big as the castle is...everyone is close. They're all just as likely wanting to meet you too." Jigoku said easily relaxed as he stepped through with him the doors closed and what sounded like a rush of enchanting sound from somewhere in the castle a voice just singing....nothing with it...no words just a rush of sound 'pheonix song' from out in the Ice garden's no doubt which meant he was relaxing with Rei and singing again. Kira sang so much more now....it was almost a relief. "Come on...it's this way." he said so very relaxed.

The ask not to shout was only because Neikan really didn't like it....one could talk all they wanted sure. Shouting tended to irritate him as it echoed off of the halls of the castle and woke him up...and what Jigoku wasn't saying was that King Neikan was usually about this time of day sleeping with his girls cuddled up at his sides. Since there coming back into his life he treasured them unlike any other and held them were he could hold almost no other woman. But they were his. His daughters his twins his treasures. The throne room was immense and of course he wasn't looking across it to the thrones....with any luck they could at least go over the tracks before things got crazy! Jigoku knew the Royals well enough they were always wanting to meet someone important to those who lived in the castle, friends. Lovers, it didn't matter...if they were important to one they were met and welcomed by all it seemed. It was just weird for Jigoku to sum them up as the 'Royals' but it was easier then listing off the five brothers every time he spoke of them. Or being so flippantly 'rude' and saying the Takusen's. They were after all the royal family...and he more or less was one of the castle dogs....it wasn't a title he found insulting either...perhaps because he was more then just a dog to them, here it was family, here it was home.

He had been resting, lazily lounging in Siago's throne, since he greatly enjoyed being close to the lord of Death's scent it was the best possible place to be. Especially since Saigo had opted out of living in the castle with the brothers. However, Kibatsu had opted in....and that was certainly an interesting turn. When he saw his brother walk in though, he sat up in the throne and looked at him. This was the one room where there were no windows. Thankfully. So for once, he was without his blindfold. "Well look at who's bringing pretty little guests home with him..." he mused as he looked at them both.

Kyoki was sure a sight to see. Messy silver hair with piercing crimson eyes that seemed to be filled with the blood of his victims. He was wearing his favorite long sleeved, oversized black shirt and of course, as always, the collar his father had latched around his neck was still firmly as ever in place, hanging loosely about his neck as the broken silver chain hung down to the middle of his chest. The older Inu made Ursu, who was obviously younger than Kyoki, very uneasy.

Ursu shifted a little as he watched Kyoki shift and stand up. His gaze didn't stray from Kyoki the entire time he was walking across the throne room and over to Jigoku, who was obviously very relaxed. Which, if Ursu were paying attention, he'd be able to tell that these two were related. However, that wasn't the case.

Kyoki though, stopped and wrapped an arm around Jigoku's neck and leaned down and kissed his younger brother on the head. "It's about time I get to see my little brother bring home friends of his own..." he mused and huckled, knowing full well that the pink haired kid with Jigoku was very wary and likely had been formulating all kinds of things in his head about him and Jigoku's relationship.

"Jigoku, mate, I'm not too sure if I can meet anyone around here...I don't want to be rude or anything, but you know that I can't understand them if they speak Japanese..." Ursu said uneasily, as he inched away from Kyoki and over to the other side of Jigoku, putting a little bit of distance between himself and the older Inu.

Jigoku reached down almost on instinct and easily caught Ursa's hand gently in his as his brother kissed him on the head and said he was glad to see him bringing home friends of his own. "He doesn't understand Japanese that well." He said to Kyoki which explained the wariness. Greatly he was going by sight alone and he was nervous. But Jigoku nuzzled his brother back in kind.

Jigoku though did look back at Ursa, switching back to English as he looked at him. "It's alright, this is my elder brother Kyoki." He said as he looked at looked back at Ursa who was so very nervous so out of his center his element here. "Kyoki this is Ursu Agni." He said looking at them. Still speaking in English since he knew very well Kyoki could understand it just fine. He was part of the reason Jigoku himself learned English after all....his brother was many things but a fool he was not.

"Ursa, he was both welcoming me back home and teasing me about finally bringing someone....home as well.." Jigoku said being honest and Kyoki was teasing him lightly about it nothing to discourage Jigoku but enough to state he was being the teasing big brother/father figure he had been since rescuing Jigoku from that nightmare as a pup. "Believe me...you'll be fine. If there speaking in Japanese just answer in English believe it or not....just about everyone here knows English...."

Yasei was leaning in the against the wall that next to the doorway leading off towards all of there rooms he snickered. "AWWw...so cute...Ji..." He teased in Japanese leaning forwards and looking at Ursa. "Not like you to bring home pretty....."

"Yasei!" Jigoku growled "Back off..." Yasei backed up holding up his hands.

"Yipe... easy...." He countered in English. "I won't do anything....to piss you off....cause if I piss you off guaranteed....I'm answering to our older brother first." He said gesturing to Kyoki...."I'm not stupid enough to piss off Kyoki after that!" He said sliding along the wall away from the hallway leading off towards there rooms. After what was so clearly to Yasei Kyoki's blessing to Jigoku about this with the pretty pink haired vampire....he was glad Jigoku was finally growing up finally showing interest in another and woe be it to Yasei's backside if he did anything that ruined it for Jigoku...things would happen naturally between them he knew that....but...Jigoku was juggling trying to keep Ursu calm from panicking and trying to not pull away from Kyoki before Kyoki was ready to let him go... Although he was limping just as well growing pains were not treating him well. "Damn....so much for getting to tease you endlessly Ji...."

Jigoku sighed. "We're just listening to some tracks to lay down for the event I'm playing at this weekened. He's skating...this is 'Ursa Major' who Rumiki who was talking about meeting this morning and not being clear...." Jigoku was speaking in English so that Ursa would know what he was saying to his brothers....he just hoped...his brothers would from here respond in kind...Ursa was soo skittish...It was clear they had just meet Jigoku was unsure of just where he stood with Ursa but Ursa was ready to bolt he was so nervous....and Jigoku kept a gentle but firm hold of his wrist. He was gonna skin Yasei if he didn't quit....."I promise you'll be alright Ursa...Rei and Neikan have spent time in America, Kira knows quiet a few languages English included, I don't believe Saigo is here today but if he was....he could translate for just about anyone on the planet without missing a beat." He said looking at him. "But all in all everyone here will switch to speak with you....they won't isolate you." He said reassuringly as he looked back at him while half encircled in his his elder brother's embrace.

Kyoki tisked as he ran a hand through his hair. "Ah man...I haven't used English in centuries..." he said as he looked at his brothers, who were bickering over Yasei wanting to tease Jigoku. Kyoki had narrowed his eyes when Yasei started in though, growling a low warning to his brother. "Whatever comments you have Yasei, keep them to yourself...I'm not in the mood..." he warned lowly, coldly in English as he turned his attention back to Ursu and Jigoku and just smiled. However, the smile unsettled Ursu even more than when he wasn't smiling.

"It's ok kid. I'm not going to do anything to you. I've got my hands full anyway. That idiot over there will be tough to handle," Kyoki said, jabbing his thumb in Yasei's direction.

Ursu shifted though and took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves before he spoke to Kyoki. "It's nice to meet you both...I'm sorry if my lack of skill in Japanese is an issue...I'm trying my best to learn it, but I have such a limited schedule that it makes it really hard to be able to sit down and study..." he said, apologizing lowly as he watched Kyoki finally release his younger brother and move back over to the throne and plop back down in it rather ungracefully. "It's not really a problem here in the castle. Maybe if I hadn't been brought here to work for the royals it would be, but not now. Don't apologize to me anymore though...I hate it..."

"I really hate it when you're so flippant...it's not very attractive Kyoi..." he said as he just stood there, leaning against the wall that lead towards the hall where his room was. His hair was messy, making it obvious that he had been in bed at some point in the day. Though it was long, coming down to the middle of his back and it was black, fading to blond on the tips.. He had the left side of his lower lip pierced and gauged ears with medium sized plugs in his ear lobes.

For once, Neikan was wearing a slim fitting pair of torn bleached blue-jeans, and a mid-sleeved black and white stripped shirt. He was barefoot of course, but he was fully clothed for once. He stood up off the wall and walked over to Kyoki and just seemed to float up and stood on the arms of the throne Kyoi was so lazily lounging in. "You should be nicer to people Kyoki..."

Kyoki just snorted and sat up to look at Neikan. "You're going to seriously suggest that I of all people be nice? Go back to sleep..." he told Neikan lowly as he laid back down, curling up a little into the throne. Neikan just tisked and jumped down off the throne and plopped down in his own throne and smiled over at Jigoku and waved at them like nothing in the world was wrong.

Ursu couldn't help but stare the entire time. That was...Neikan Takusen right? One of THE royals. not just some poster or dream. He was the real thing and Ursu was getting to meet him in person. He couldn't help but fall silent as he stared speechless at the white eyed vampire.

Jigoku sighed as Yasei all but whimpered and sat down keeping his mouth shut for the moment as he looked at them seeing Neikan enter now was really not the time to get anyone upset with him. Neikan thrilled in pain and pleasure and Yasei....welll....he wasn't so into the pain part. So he simply choose the quiet option sitting down and shutting up.

Jigoku looked at them as he looked at Ursa. "Good morning Neikan...." He said in a greeting then paused when a hand landed on his head ruffling his hair. Saigo walked in with files in his hand....he was attempting to come home for a visit to his brothers....except he was soo back logged with that whole body jumping hound issue he was seriously annoyed sometimes. But he walked without a word gliding past all of them and up to *his* throne turned and promptly sat down on the very man that had Ursa so worried. "Move....and I will kick your ass Kyoki." Saigo said simply lowly as he flipped through the files and sighed leaning back. "Morning Nei...I hadn't thought I'd see you till later...." He spoke then glanced over at Ursa.

"Ursu Agni....welcome to Ryu Castle, normally Rei would be formally welcoming you but I believe he's currently occupied in the garden's this morning. Don't apologize for things out of your control mate. It's not always easy to juggle the demands of our lives into such a short time of day." He switched to Ursu's native tongue...accent and pitch...perfectly. It wasn't so much to mock him...it was just the way he was. This was Saigo. "And don't worry, mate...go on off with Jigoku....it's really alright Ursu, you're welcome here...Rei and Kira wouldn't have it any other way." He said as he went back down to his files long shimmering silvery white hair falling down over one shoulder his pale amethyst eyes reading the reports as his effeminate voice spoke into the throne room and he really did lean back and sit against Kyoki in his own throne. He didn't care Kyoki planted his ass in it. He just better not move it while Saigo was finishing up his work and using it....This 'dog' who had killed mercilessly so many in the past and Saigo was using him as a back rest and pillow as if it was nothing....but then again he was death incarnate and hardly feared the great headhunter. Respected him and loved him as he loved all of those in the castle and Kyoki held a special spot with Saigo, but....he did not fear him not even getting angry with him for using him as a pillow. Although for Sai his most beloved was sitting in his own throne....and Saigo didn't sit on his lap or he would surely fail to get this finished...Neikan was far too distracting for Saigo he adored his brother greatly.

Jigoku had stiffened slightly but loosened up....he knew by all rights Saigo could demand him to take up his collar and place as a Tod Hund but he just ruffled his hair and then leaned against his brother. "Saigo?"

"Is there something you needed Jigoku?" Saigo asked pausing there was that deathly calm when he was reading....not working on the field not wound up...but reading...his eyes landed on the Aadel crest and a faint smile graced his features. It was one of those rare times...when Saigo Takusen was calm...of course it could be that Neikan and Kyoki where there and helped him relax instead of stay stressed part of the reason he leaned against Kyoki...

"I am rather fond of all of my 'hounds' Jigoku regardless of wither they were born in Rhealm or not. However since I'm aware of the fact some weren't born in Rhealm they're free to pursue other avenues....now go on before your kid brother gets antsy." He said in english and Jigoku nodded and looked back to Ursa. "Ready?" he asked to go to the room or was there something he'd like to ask the royals...since now he had an audience of two...and one was currently sitting on his elder brother.
