Creek Street

First topic message reminder :

The street that has many creeks on the sides

Masa twitched.
Yes, he did heard, in fact, what Kuro said. If she wasn't so much of a neko (he have some sixth sense of know who or what is a cat or something XDD), he would tackle her and wrung out her neck....actually, he's imagining that now.
But being Masa, he kept a completely straight face, even though a tick mark appeared on his forehead, appearly very visable.
He looks at the other, though a bit interesting on her interesting power, he she was still a neko nonetheless, one of his biggest weakness in the whole entire world. But something else also irked him, and it wasn't the fact that she was a cat, but she is a wet cat. Why that annoyed him, he didn't even know himself. Something just tugged his mind as he saw her wet, probably cold. And in the end, she'll probably end up having a cold.......... he shouldn't stay with Akira for too long. He's starting to have human thoughts.
He an annoyed grunt, his hand twitching since he noticed how wet Josephine is (or was it always twitching since he wanted to wring Kuro's neck?), he grabbed his trench coat and quickly took it off himself. With that he, without thinking if I may added, covered the girl with his coat.
It was wet on the outside, but on the inside; it was completely the oppisite. It was warm and dry, making it probably very inviting to many creature. It's obvious to how expensive it is.
Masa is a rich demon after all.
With that, he put his hat on her head, probably to keep her from the rain a little.

"Awww would you look at that. He does have a wittle heart." Kuro said in a playful tone and poked at male's stranger cheek as she looked at him. Her natural cat ears and tail were hidden by a magic her 'father' had put on her a long time ago. She could make them appear but she usually didn't. It was easier to blend in with humans when she appeared human and she had to blend in with them a lot.

Kuro looked at Josephine and smiled "See, now you can be protected from the rain and such." she said with a kind smile. Then she looked back at the male stranger and gave him a catish smile that held a bit of mischief.

She blinked a little, startled from her thoughts as the stranger put his coat around her and his hat on her head. Despite its wet appearance, it was quite warm and cozy on the inside, smelling faintly of richness--that is, of a higher lifestyle in which there were to be many neatly scented things and pristine cleanliness. It reminded her of her master, and an unrestrained purr slipped from her lips.
"Thank you~" she said softly, reaching up to feel the edge of his hat as it tipped down over one eye.
Shrugging her shoulders more securely into the coat, she locked the nozzle on her spray bottle so that she would not accidentally drip onto his coat or spray it, though all it contained now was distilled water. She held the coat close to her with one hand while she nodded to Kuro and the strange man, again taking an interest in her surroundings, and particularly her companions. Kuro, she had already inspected, but the man whom she had at first ignored for his lack of resemblance to her master, she now took into account. He was tall, which, as always, was mildly upsetting, and he seemed to hold himself with the same cold pride as her master did.

Never...again... was Masa thoughts into this situation, somehow embaress by all of what just happened. It didn't help at all through the black haired neko's teasing.
He felt the means to escape at the moment, when Kuro poked his cheek, he completely frozed and paled, twitching slightly, and had the felt of need to go and run away from them through high places where he didn't think it would be possible for them to reach them. A neko is still a neko, his biggest weakness.
Masa, at the thanks that he received only huffed with the last bit of dignity that he seemed to held on. He's completely weak around these two, doubt he could even touch them or hurt them at all. It was only for a spur of the moment that found himself giving the jacket to the girl. Why he did it; he almost blamed Toshiro or either Akira for this. He just hung out with them too much.
He didn't minded that he got wet, his clothes that he wore getting wetter by the minute. He never did really care about his clothes and such. And whether they were wet, it was fine with him. His hair seemed to stick around his face comfortable, while his clothes are starting to do the same. The white sleeves that are shown out of the vest he was wearing, were starting to get a bit see through, though he paid no attention to it at all. He do like the rain after all.

Kuro chuckled and her tail snaked out of it's 'hiding' from the spell and brushed against the male's back slowly. "Doesn't the big male man have a name?" she asked as her smiled at him, her golden eyes shining even in the dim lighting of the night. Her cat ears began to show as well and they flicked as they felt the first drops of cold rain. "Aren't you a bit tall too?" she asked him as she walked around him, her tail constantly brushing against him.

Kuro Neko looked at Josephine and smiled "Isn't he tall? And he's silent too. I wonder if he likes kitties. I haven't talked to someone for awhile." she said and snickered a bit as she looked back up at him. "So do you have an answer?" she asked. She skipped around like a little girl who was innocent but her eyes never left either of them.

"He's too tall," commented the shorter neko, standing only at five feet and too inches, "and I don't think he likes cats."
Watching Kuro skip around, her own tail twitched, and she managed to smile a little. As the man's clothes began to drip and turn transparant, black hair hanging in his eyes, she fought back the urge to fix the wrinkles and splotches; to clean press the clothes. Her own ears, to the rain, twitched little, being well accustomed to the feel of water.
"Aww, you're going to make him uncomfortable," she laughed, repressing a further smile and twitch of her tail.
At length, she found herself unable to resist the urge, and she reached out to smooth a wrinkle at the crest of his shoulder, standing up on her tip toes. A small frown and an odd expression crossed her face as she only managed to create another, and so she employed twice the effort to smooth down the offending rumple, never once making a sound or laying a pressure on his shoulder more than a cat's paw.

Masa has many, many (very very rude) ways to answer all of Kuro's question, but he wouldn't dare voiced it out.
One is because of her tail that kept on touching him purposly, teasing him to the extent that he might break out in shivers. There might be also another reason but he couldn't get himself to find out the reason as he held back the urge to rip her tail off her body. Acting innocent, it just irks him even more.
But he couldn't help himself finding it a bit irritated by how they call him unusual tall. He is a 149 year old demon! Of course he would be tall!
As he was about to tell of Kuro...he found himself slumping. Somehow, resisting these Neko (if you call freezing resisting) seemed to tire him out completely, but he was back automaticly stiff when Josephine came up to him and tried to get rid of the wrinkles of his shirt.
After a few more touches were made, Masa literlly jumped away from the girls, in a comical fashion kind of way, putting on a funny defensive stance and he looked at them with a twitching, looking almost a bit horrific, face. As if their the demons except from him in some way.

Kuro, standing only at four feet and eleven inches thus being the shortest of the three despite being over 2248 years old, she had yet to have a growth's spurt, smirked as she looked up at the male but was growing a bit annoyed that he had yet to answer. It made her want to claw at him and slice to make ribbons with her wires. Kuro ran her hands up to the male's shoulders, having to stand on her toes to do so, and her claws nicked at his shoulders through the shirt. "Will you say something already or are you mute?" she asked in a too sweet to be sweet way.

She let go of him much more suddenly then she had put her hands on him and her tail even stopped touching him as she turned to look at Josephine with a kind smile, lacking the previous tone that her voice had had as she said "I think your right, he doesn't like cats. Guess luck isn't on his side today." she said and laughed.

"Well considering he's just run across two black cats," she said, watching Kuro's tail and ears curiously, "I'd say that's decisively so."
As the man stepped away from her touch, she gave an irritated hiss and resisted the urge to stomp her foot like a spoiled child. His shirt was, though less wrinkled, still unsatisfactory for her normal standards, and it vexed her. Her tail twitched and flicked, as if she were watching a bird from beyond glass, or something else that might displease her. Gripping his jacket tightly, her nails dug into the fabric, as if to tear it, though they did no foreseeable damage.
"Hold still, please," she said, straining the last word, "your shirt is wrinkled. It needs to be fixed."

Masa, in any other situation, would curse her out loud and tell her off. Like in bloody heck he would even consider giving her his name! But then again, this isn't any other situation. Masa, in other words, were completely defensiveless. Not only she's in a breed similar to a cat's, she's also a demon. A dangerous one at that judging by the dangerous voice that she hold. It would be wise for himself to listen to her, but his curses pride is also something that he would love to keep. How sad; Masa has been reduced to nothing just because of two mere nekos.
He doubted that he would get away with anything at this rate.
Towards Josephine, he narrowed his eyes tiredly, her already being a consant reminder of him about his butler, Toshiro, who would usually be the one fiddling with his clothes just because they were a bit wrinkled. It camed a bit nostalgic but at the same time, a feeling of annoyance appeared, not wanting to remember his butler/mother/nagger during the free time that he have to sneaked out on.
But seeing that he wouldn't get away if he doesn't answer to at least one of Kuro's answer, he mental groan in his head. Today was seriously not his day.
"My name is Daemon, Masa Daemon of the Baku Akumas...." Masa automaticly sentenced his introduction like that, due to the fact that he had to say it like that everytime he have to face a client, which is a lot. He said it in a clear baritone voice, which couldn't help but melodious.

Kuro chuckled, glad things were going her way. It was something she enjoyed happening. "Well then Daemon, Masa Daemon of the Baku Akumas, it's nice to know you aren't mute and you can talk to us." she said in a purr as she looked at him, her tail though flicked in a dangerous manner. "My name is Kuro Neko and this is my new friend." she said as she grabbed Josephine by the arm gently, linking her arm with her's and smiled as if they two nekos had known each other for a long time.

Kuro was trying to seem playful by her terms, still maintaining that distant fill of being a predator though as she smiled, spoke, and looked at the male once more. Her cat fangs showed when she smiled with a tilt of her head and her golden eyes closed for a bit but opened a sliver so that the golden hues were watching him still "I hope we can become friends too."

She listened absently as Masa introduced himself, her one hand itching to straighten out the wrinkles his clothes, and her tail flicking. Clicking her tongue, she shook her head and moved to reach for him, only to be pulled back by Kuro as their arms linked. Immediately distracted by this new sensation, she gave a curious mew and looked down to where flesh touched flesh. Her headdress slipped a little down her forehead as she inclined her head at such an angle, and the twitch in her tail became little more than a bemused swish.
"Ah, yes," she said when introductions were passed her way, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Daemon. My name is Josephine."
His shirt...it's so...not...neat....

Masa twitched at what Kuro said. Somehow, the sentence sound a bit scary. He could feel an mischeivious aura around her, one that would get him into trouble more often than get out at all. He girl is, how much he hates to say it, more powerful than him. Well, yeah, she could kill him because of his little syndrome of paralyzing of each little touch a cat made. In any other cases, he pretty much doomed. He suddenly felt that being in the boring study office of his, might sounded good at the moment. Though, he felt a bit relieved that they stopped touching him at the least.......

"It's...interesting to meet you both..." he has to admitted, as a habit of the harsh training of his parents, he bowed down, putting a hand on the chest and another one behind his back. He really hated his parents at the moment.
They are interesting, he'll admit that much, but the point of feeling that their presence is...nice? He has yet to feel that at all. Nor does he thought he'll be able to be comfortable around those two....

"Oh yay!~ Masa-Masa finds it interesting to meet us~" Kuro cheered and jumped up, slipping her arm free gently of Josephine and hugged Masa in that too close for personal space way as she made sure to purr a bit to further test his likeness toward felines. She chuckled a bit as she looked up at him, her tail swishing before she looked over at Josephine kindly.

"Josephine~ I'm sure Masa-Masa would kindly hold still for you now to fix his clothes, I know that I'll have to move for you to do so, so I'll just move carefully so I can keep a hold of him." she said happily and looked up at Masa "I just love to get to know people." she purred as she looked up at him with an amused look.

"Interesting, but not pleasant~" Josephine chimed, sliding in close with the ease and silence of a natural feline, despite her high-heels.
Standing on her tiptoes, a precarious position in her current footwear, she straightened his clothing out to satisfactory positions, though the faint rumples and wear expressed on the rich fabric still irked her. She gave a tight smile when she was finished and stepped back, head cocked to the side. Sighing once, she clicked her tongue with a light hiss and shook her head, finally smiling.
"It'll have to do. That needs ironing now."
With her compulsive desires satisfied, she bemused herself, then, with burrowing into his coat. The inside, though long left his body and encompasing her slender, wet frame, was still warm and familiar smelling. As the fabric brushed against her skin, she purred subtly to herself, recalling the times when her master was tender with her. However, as quickly as the fabric moved away, so did the memories, and she found herself disappointed in even trying to recall them.
He left me. I shouldn't think about him anymore. I'll just upset myself.

Masa was on the verge to fall on his knees.
Dang cat! Don't get any ideas!! Masa thought as he looked at Kuro with a tired, yet furious glare, trying to keep his frame shaking at the hug that just occurs. And the other girl was still trying to fix his clothes. Lovely, just perfectly lovely.
"I'm sure you do..." Masa couldn't help but mumbled sarcasticly at Kuro's statement, probably and most likely not believe the girl at all. He was looking away from the two while at it. It would be better for his legs if he didn't try to pay attention to the girls too much, though it's hard to when their attention is on himself.

Hearing what Josephine said, he couldn't help but raise an eye of curiousity at her. She really is acting just like his butler, Toshiro, except for all the lectures and such. She even fiddled with his clothes as much as he does, and that couldn't help but give him a sense of familarity. Which does gave him a more ease dispostion.
"Just leave it, I'll get Toshiro to do it..." Masa mumbled as he soon after saw her snuggling into his coat, sweatdropping only just a bit on his emotionless, yet tired looking, face.

Kuro smirked, a single cat fang showing as she chuckled in her through and circled her slender arms around the tall male's waist while looking up at him with golden feline eyes. Her eyes met his glare with an amused glow to their golden hues. "So what does a demon like you do, Masa-Masa?" she asked slowly, a audible purr erupting softly from her throat from her amusement.

Kuro looked at Josephine and smiled "Josephine, are you warm enough? You could snuggle with Masa-Masa if your cold?" she said, her tail twitched at the tip as if it laughed. Kuro had definitely found Masa's 'thing' with cats to be most amusing and she would play at it for as long as she could. After all, she considered it his unlucky day for crossing the path of two black cats. "By the way Masa-Masa, who is this Toshiro? Is he like you?" she asked though she had figured that this 'Toshiro' was like a butler.

"No," she said quietly, wrinkling her nose as a curious expression crossed her face. "I don't...want to cuddle."
I'm not particularly in the mood for contact...and he's far too much like Master to allow it.
Shuffling her foot in the puddle, she frowned at how soggy and tight her shoes felt. Sighing, she inspected the entirety of her soaked outfit, and found with dismay that it would likely take much cleaning to repair the damage, if even that could be done. Taking her headdress down and fiddling with it, her shyness overtaking her at her demure appearance, she glanced over her shoulder at the box. It was soaked, and empty save for a single, ragged and thin towel. There was nothing there to speak of for clothing, there, which left her, again, disappointed. For all her master's possessiveness over her, she figured that he would have left her something...

Of course, this girl only found the more and more reasons to aggravate him... He sorely doesn't want to be mention of his mother/servant Toshiro. Nor does he want to be mention of work at all! It's his day off dang it! He have to do a lot of spells and sneaking out just to get it! But of course, he found himself unable to attack the girl at least or swipe her with his cane. Or at least but her in a world where she would make her be in a dangerous mental derrange stage for a month!
Looking away from the two, he gave a reluctant answer.
"I'm up for inheriting my fathers...position....politcal activities with hunters...and others..." Masa grumbled, an obvious tick mark on his jaw as he faced away from them. He hates mentioning his work. While he was at one of those meetings to replace his father, he always have to smile, making his cheeks hurt in the end as soon as he get home.
"And...Toshiro's my personal butler..." and also his personal pain-in-the-butt; is what he wanted to say.
He's too tired to even be angry at them anymore, his mind out of excuses to use at all. Though, Kuro always manage to bring his anger to his limits....
Masa felt the need to run away as he heard what Kuro suggested to Josephine, ready to take a long step back of needed, since he couldn't run away anyway. His face relaxed, that was a bit scrunched up before, as he heard that Josephine refused the offer...though the tone of how she said that, he felt something in his mind jerked slightly. He doesn't know what it was, but it did.
When he look back at Josephine and Kuro, he felt the muscle around his eye twitched. All that got through his mind is wet cat.
With a huff, he actually moved for once, going only a few feet from the girls before looking back at them, somehow still retaining a noble postures familar to what a real aristocrat should be like. His black-as-night eyes looking at them emotionlessly.
"Come this way.." He somewhat manage to tell them, as he continued on before refraining himself to stomping off rather than walk off.

Kuro laughed and let go of Masa as she stretched her arms up into the air and looked over her drenched clothes. "Well...ain't this something." she said and tsked a bit as she looked herself over. "I'm all wet...." she said and sighed, her ears flicked to try and flick off drops of water and her tail shook itself to do the same but they only got wet again. Kuro groaned and would have zapped something of she could but everything near her was wet and she didn't want to risk getting caught up in the electricity.

"Come this way.." Kuro mimicked and laughed as she followed after him, looking back to make sure that Josephine was following before she looked at Masa and smirked before she grabbed the hem of his shirt, tugging a bit childishly "Aww, but papa, I do not want to go that way, I want to go that way and that way and that way." she said in a small voice as she laughed, each time she said that way after the first time she tugged him one direction, then another then ended up leading him back the way he had been originally walking.

Slightly startled at the sudden noise she had not expected from Masa, Josephine lifted her head. She tilted her head curiously to look at him as he paused to beckon them. His hat tipped down over her soaking ears, causing them to twitch, and she sneezed quietly as she scampered to keep up with him. Her tail curled about her waist to stay out of the way as she trotted along the street. For being dressed as she was, particularly her footwear, she made little sound, and moved quickly; each movement was a short leap and bound that moved gracefully.
"Where are we going?" she asked curiously.

"Too bad! We're going this way!" Masa snapped, on his limits of getting angry again as he bravely grabbed her arm and tried -emphasis on tired- to drag her to the direction he wanted to go, though his grip is very weak and his hand is shaking. His body doesn't react that well to touching a neko's body at all. But, he's still standing...in some way. Luckily, he has his cane.
He noted that Josephine is following him obediantly and sighed a breath of relief to know that he doesn't need to worry about that little kitty as much as the other one. Thank god for that... He wouldn't be able to handle it if he has to drag her along too. Most likely collasp on the street.... he imagined that Kuro would somehow talked Josephine into leaving him on the cold wet streets.
"A shop..." Was his only answer to Josephine as they got closer to a white painted shop that said...well, it's in a different language that looked out of this world, but it does say, as Masa could read it, "White Lily". Masa couldn't help but feel cold sweat as he came closer and closer to the shop, taking note of the incoming stomach ache that is forming in his stomach.
He stopped at the door, looking up at the sign with a bit of a horrific expression.

Kuro giggled as she let herself seem to be dragged though she walked easily in the direction that he pulled her. "Aww but papa why~?" she asked in a child's pout as she looked up at him, her tail twitching. Kuro looked back at Josephine and waved happily at her as she watched her follow. "Oooh~ A shop? What kind of shop? A flower shop? Coffee shop?" Kuro asked in the same voice as before as her ears twitched.

"Really, what kind of place is this?" she asked seriously, unable to read the sign. Kuro looked up at Masa to see his expression and she suddenly grew very curious as she tugged at Masa's sleeve "Tell me~ Tell me~" she meowed deliberately up near his ear as she tugged, practically trying to climb him, or at least look like she was trying.

Muffling a laugh with her hand at Kuro's antics, Josephine moved to stand at a respectable distance behind Masa. It was where her master had always had her stand; she was still within easy reach of his hand if he needed, but she was not ahead of him as his superior, nor was she beside him as his equal. She was behind him, as his servant and pet. Her gaze lifted up to the sign, though she could not read it, and she tilted her head to the side.
Upon the sign was carved the shape of a lily, painted an eggshell white that glistened in the rain. Her tail flicked in delight at the sign of her favorite flower, and she smiled a little. Waiting for Masa to answer what sort of shop this was, she made an attempt to peer into the shop, only to be unable to see past the dark windows. Her tail twitched in irritation, and she pinched the bridge of her nose with a short hiss.
I do hope that's just a curtain or the angle and not any sort of dirt...that would be disgusting...

"It's just a fitting shop." Masa snapped at Kuro, wanting very much to shrug her off, but he found no energy to at least get her off him as he rwhines have becoming increasingly annoying. Wait, they were annoying in the beginning. Now, they just became plainly unbearable.
Reluctantly opening the door, getting out of the rain that is, a bell rung, which usually indicated a costumer is here.
Inside the shop, you can see how clean and tasteful it is. Most of you can see boutinques of different kind of clothing, more looking like as if their for a royal ball that is....
Well, in this case, only Masa's eyes can see this. To others, it only looked like a supcious darkness; just literally darkness.

This is a shop where only a few people have access to. Masa and his family are regulars here, so he could see the shop and what inside of it clearly well.
Why this shop is hidden in the darkness? Well, this shop is only for some special people that the maker deemed that are important to his attention. Well, that or it was something about his mother coming once and didn't want people to appear while on her visit so she made the spell, but for some reason never lifted it.
Seeing that he wouldn't want the girls to go blind inside the building, he held out his hand, a circle of symbols appearing around the palm.
"I dubbed theses two the gift of sight
through the darkness and the light
show thee your true form
and unveil the laying path
with or without spite
my command is always right."

With a final snap, the darkness fade away from the whole shop in only in front of the two girls, even the window, you can see it through, showing the mercendise that is on display. There was a high chandiler above them, and the place pretty much look as grand as Masa remembers it.
Snorting, he went over to the desk, where he knew he could ring an old 'friend', knowing that the girls would be comfortable here because of the warmth that the room has.
