Warakuma Amusement Park

Midori struggled to stay calm. She smiled weakly as Shiki headed onto the ride, volunteering to wait for him nearby... but then she was alone. And yet, not alone in a way she would have liked. Without her little brother, she was left consumed in a crowd of people she did not know. The press of bodies, there were so many people, moving and talking... some of them were looking at her. She couldn't stand it why did they have to look... why did they have to breath why did they have to exist?! Why were there so many people here, so close, too close... Midori found herself unable to breath. Tremors ran through her body as she hugged herself, shivering. She... she needed some place cooler, some place with less people... she couldn't stay here too many people too many too many too many...

... But her brother... she needed somewhere close yes somewhere close couldn't leave entirely no matter how many people there were too many so many...

The House of Mirrors. There it was. Inside it would be cooler and there wouldn't be as many people, it wouldn't be so crowded she could breath again! Barely thinking clearly, Midori broke into a sprint, running for the House of Mirrors. She didn't really perceive anything around her, just the doorway she was running into...

Rui Shinichi | Warakuma Amusement Park

"What a strange ma-", Rui could not help but grasp his forehead and rub his temple as a sharp pain shot through his skull. His vision faded momentarily... A headache? Migraine? Whatever it was, his immediate response was to find a place to rest. He looked to the other two, after noticing that the strange man had already disappeared. There weren't so many people here that one could disappear so quickly, but nevermind that...

"I... I'm going to go get a drink... I'll meet up with you guys around here later...", he said. There were a few tables nearby, since this was rather close to a rest area, so they should know that's what he meant. After that was deliberated, he headed over to one of the stands to purchase something to cool his head... Yeah, maybe that's what he needed.

Sato Hashimoto // Warakuma Amusement Park

Now that he had given them a shockingly large amount of cash for a highschool student outing, Noboru left almost immediately, presumably to wonder around the amusement park. Sato squeezed the wad of bills just to see if it was actually in his hand. It felt almost wrong to just take the money from him, but as soon as Rui suggesting dividing up both the money and group, Sato began quickly sifting through the money to get a good estimate for how much everyone got. It felt encouraging to see the other two’s shock regarding this generous gift, and as soon as Sato subconsciously started imagining that he was some criminal sorting through his latest score.

As if sensing his thoughts, a man that stood out like a sore thumb approached the trio, smiling as he introduced himself into the conversation, who revealed himself to be the owner. Just as he extended his hand to Rui, Sato felt the vibration of his cellphone, panicking a bit due to all the money he had in his hands, stacks of the different bills wedged between each of his fingers, and therefore couldn’t answer without ruining his sorting. But luckily it only vibrated once, meaning it was a text instead of a call. He made a mental note to check it some time soon.

Sato finally returned his attention to supposed owner of the joint as Rui ended their handshake, and Sato briefly considered shaking the owner’s hand as well to be polite, but he decided not to when a worker whispered something to him and the owner immediately put on a sour face. The owner of the park left almost as abruptly as he arrived, and as did Rui, claiming he was going to get something to drink. And as quickly as that, it was just Sato and Teiji with a huge wad of cash. He glanced over at Teiji, clenching the sorting money between his fingers still. “So, Teiji,” He took an awkward pause. Was Rui going to get his third later? “did you want any of the money?”

Teiji Ishihara - Warakuma Amusement Park

As the old man was contacted by a worker, the old mam tipped his hat and soon left, seemingly vanishing in the distance. Rui then looked a tad bit pained and soon left himself, which made the group that use to be four shrink down to two. That left just him and Sato who had a giant wad of cash that Noboru handed them earlier. Well if those other two didn't come back, then Sato would find himself a whole lot richer. He caught a glance from Sato who then started saying something before pausing, which Teiji could understand. They only did meet just today and everyone suddenly leaving could cause for an awkward moment. Sato then asked him if he wanted any of the money. Teiji already decided that he wasn't going to take any of it, yet that was when he was certain that the other three would be around. So Teiji thought about if he would actually take any of the money, yet still stuck with his own mindset of not taking any. "No thanks, just give some of it to Rui and Noboru if we run into them again. So just hold onto it for now." Teiji suggested, again with an awkward pause between the two.

Teiji scratched the back of his head as he looked at the ground trying to think of something to say. "So.... You are a third year at Warakuma right? Then that means you are my superior, so I think that as the superior you should pick the first ride to go on."

Noboru
Noboru sighed and leaned back on the bench he was sitting on. He probably should have stayed with the guys, but he didn't want to hamper their ability to have any sort of fun. He was probably too short to ride any of the fun rides anyway. Sitting back and relaxing, he saw an odd looking girl run into the mirror house. "What's her problem." He muttered to himself. She was acting as if she was afraid of something or was having a panic attack. Before Noboru could give any more thought on it, the high pitched laughter whined in like a police siren. Knowing who it was, but not wanting to face them, Noboru stood up ready to walk off.

Aiko and Akari
The brown haired twins walked into the amusement park. They were looking for a singular person. Noboru. Spotting him, they quickly walked over to him, giving out a high pitched laughter as if one had just told a joke to the other, even though neither of them had spoken a single word. They saw him getting up and before he could get away, they caught up to him and Aiko introduced himself by smacking his hand across the back of Noboru's head. "Hey you little twerp. Since we're siblings and siblings need to be nice to each other and all, can I borrow some money?" Noboru pulled out his wallet and started to pull out a little bit of money for them. "Oh hey, I think this will do." Aiko stated, grabbing Noboru's wallet. "Thanks for the money, shortstack." Before Noboru could respond, both walked off, a lot of money richer then they were before.

-The Owner : Warakuma Amusement Park-
As Midori attempted to head into the mirror house, her view was obscure by a bald figure in black. Before either one could react, Midori had bumped into the man's arm, and fell to the ground. The man stumbled a bit to the right, and quickly pivoted around to regain his balance. He clenched his teeth, seemingly annoyed that he didn't notice the girl sooner. The man gave a weak smile to the girl, aa he held his hand out to her.

"I'm sorry about that missy, didn't notice you there."

There was no hostility indicated in the bald man's voice, but he did seem to be quite in a rush of sorts. Before she could react, the man grabbed her hand and pulled Midori up from the ground. "Kind of in a rush here, but I hope you have a splendid day at this establishment! "

The man then ran off, merging into tue crowd of people. Even though he was a pretty tall man, he instantaneously disappeared into the crowd. There was no sign of the man in the sea of people, and it would be futile to try and find him. What a strange bald man, not even taking the time to make small talk... Then again, maybe she wouldn't mind.

Before Midori could react to anything else, she was hit with a splitting headache.

---

((After she responds to the headache))

@GM@

Shrieks of help could be heard from the house, but strangely, no one reaponded to the cries of help. The screams sounded like Akemi, Shiki, and a bountiful of other familiar voices. Why was no one responding to their cries of help? It seemed like only Midori and Rui could hear the pleas... And they sounded like they were in pain. Maybe they should see what's going on in the Mirror House?

((Time to get the plot rolling))

Warukuma Amusement Park

Midori fell to silence. Oh no oh no oh no...

... And then he pulled her to his feet, and was gone. Midori stood still, trembling, watching as he simply vanished into the crowd. Who had... what just happened...? And then... there was pain, a splitting headache filling her skull. Midori clutched her hand with one hand, shutting her eyes tight, as if it would block out the piercing agony like it did the light. Why... why... so many people... and it hurt so badly... She had only wanted to give Shiki what she had promised him, a day at the amusement park. Why did... why was she being punished for wanting to do something nice for her little brother? And then... she heard it. Shiki's voice... crying for help... from inside the Mirror house! No! No no no no no!

And then something else...

Akemi?!

In spite of the pain, Midori's right eye snapped open, her other eye still tightly shut. Her free hand snapped into her bag, fingers wrapping around the handle of a familiar shape... she forced herself to walk, quickly, into the House of Mirrors.

The shape was drawn from her bag. It was a simple tool, and her thumb flicked the blade out.

Kill them kill them kill them whoever had gotten Akemi and her little brother in trouble they would die die die die die die die die diediediediediediediediedie...

Warakuma Shopping Complex

Before she could interject, Yakudatsu denied her offer, swiping the sweet from her hands and buying it for her. Claiming it 'rude' considering she was their visitor. The two exited the sweet shop. The slice that Chiaki had was placed in a rather cute cardboard box with a pink heart design. Chiaki held the box by its handels as she roamed the various stores in the complex.

Stopping by a magazine rack, she noticed one of them had an artical about her:
"SEXY SCADAL! ! ! POP QUEEN OF THORNS NETTU HIDES ON HIATUS"
Chiaki frowned, she purchased it so she could read about it later, stealthily placing it in one of her dress pockets. She heard Yakudatsu calling for her and went to meet with him.

"Yaku-kun! Sorry I disappered, I get a little overzealous when it comes to shopping" This was eveident with the bags of items she bought, a dress and shoes among other things.
"Come, I'm sure you're absolutely starving! Let us go find a suitable area to eat."

Sato Hashimoto // Warakuma Amusement Park

With Teiji denying a share of the cash gift, Sato became the sole owner of the thick wad of cash. He shoved it into his back pocket and pulled out his phone, flipping it open to check the text he had gotten. While he was expecting it to be from Akiko, he was almost pleasantly surprised to see that it was from Ryouta. Almost, due to the fact that he immediately suspected that it would just be him pestering Sato to come hang out with him.

From: Ryouta said yo hashimoto, did u hear bout the amusement park? heard its pretty alright. im hanging out their if you want to come out after your done your thing or whatever

Sato decided not to reply, just to keep up the illusion that he was occupied with something. While he never considered himself particularly close to Ryouta, he had already lied to him and getting caught wasn’t exactly his idea of having a good time. Sato himself wasn’t too keen on the idea of keeping out of sight of a specific person blended into a crowd, it would be an utter waste to ruin the time by being salty about it.

He turned to Teiji after a minute of staring blankly at the text. “I still think we should go on the ferris wheel. I always loved ferris wheels as a child.”

Teiji Ishihara - Warakuma Amusement Park

As Teiji had given his suggestion, he watched Sato pull out his cell phone seemingly checking out something on it. While he did that Teiji glanced around at all the rides and little games. He looked back at Sato who was still looking at his phone, which made Teiji check his own to what the time was. Once he heard Sato start speaking, Teiji put his phone away and turned to look at Sato who suggested going on the ferris wheel first. To this Teiji simply smiled and shrugged. "Sounds good to me, I always liked looking at the sight from the top." Teiji said as he began walking to the ferris wheel, where they had to wait in line a bit before they were able to hand in some tickets to get on the ride. Teiji just took a seat while his seat went higher into the sky.

Amusement Park-Aiko and Akari
The twins giggled at their acquired goods. They had all of Noboru's money, both the money from their parents and from his hard work, and he couldn't do anything about it. Akari felt a bit bad though, and she had to hide her disapproval from her twin. Maybe they bullied Noboru slightly too much. He didn't deserve all that torture, and the reason they did it was long forgotten, she just followed her brother. She just knew one day he was going to snap and go crazy, he wasn't strong enough to handle all the abuse. Deciding to change just a little bit so his abuse wouldn't be so bad, she turned to Aiko. "Hey Aiko, Can I borrow some money? I'm going to go get a little snack." Aiko handed her some of the money from Noboru's wallet, and Akari ran off with it,trying to catch up to Noboru.

Amusement Park-Noboru and Akari
Noboru sighed and started off towards the exit of the park. He didn't know what to do. The park didn't really have anything interesting for him to ride or see, and he didn't even want to think about going to the house of mirrors with the creep still presiding over the entrance of it. Before he reached the end, he heard the lesser known voice of his older sister, Akari. Oh boy time for more fun Noboru thought, ready for more torture. Aiko was no doubt behind her. He turned around, surprised to see his older sister by herself, and not conjoined at the hip with her twin. "Hey Noboru, wait up." She huffed, out of breath. "Here have some money that we took from you back. But don't tell Aiko alright? It's our little secret that i'm not always horrible to you." She gave him a friendly wink and a soft slap against the head, but it wasn't quite mean as much as it would have been from Aiki. She ran off to rejoin her twin once again, and Noboru felt apprehensive. She was behaving oddly, and he didn't like it.

At the Warakuma Mall-Noboru
Noboru decided to go to the mall. His shorts felt tighter than ever, and he decided now was as good as a time as any other to get a new pair. He looked around and about in each store, looking for a good pair that had a tasteful design, maybe something that made him look faster even. He couldn't find anything. He wasn't sure if it was because of the store, or his lack of skill in fashion. He walked out of the last store, and sat on a lone bench in the middle of the mall, giving out an exasperated and dramatic sigh. "Goddamit!" He yelled out, a little more louder than it should have been, "Why don't I have any fashion sense!"

Warakuma Shopping Complex

As Chiaki considered possible places to dine at, there was a cry for help. One that could only be quelled by Chiaki herself. A cry, for fashion!
'Why don't I have any fashion sense?!' She turned to Yakudatsu, apologised for leaving and left to see what poor soul was in need of help. "Did you hear that Yaku-kun? Somebody is in need of immediate help!" She started to jog off to the source of the cry. Before running back and apologising. "I'm so sorry for deserting you like this! You're free to join!" She placed her baggage upon Yakudatsu "If you wouldn't mind... Thanks Sweetie!"
She then ran off to find the person in need.

On the lower floor was boy resting upon a bench, wearing clothes from three seasons ago that looked like they barely fit him anymore. It was indeed, the poor lost soul that cried for help. Walking uo to the boy she grabbed his hands and said. "You don't know who I am, but I am going to be your fashion guardian angel!"
She ripped the boy off of the bench and dragged him into the nearest clothing store.

"Okay sweetie, first thing to turn you from faux, to friend, is getting you out of those pants!" It took only a second for her to realise how inappropriate that sounded. She went red and placed her palm over her mouth.
She turned away from him. "I'm so sorry..."
Grabbing some shirts from the racks and some pants from a nearby shelf she pushed the boy into a changing closet. "These clothes are from a new spring line! They'll look fabulous on you, considering your body structure is well ... Um... Uh maintained, just, cone out when you're ready! Kay?"

Chiaki walked over to some mirrors, placing a light pink, breezy dress over her body. The dress ended roughly five centremetres above her kneecaps, so it was a relatively short dress. Chiaki sighed as she looked at herself. "Thats' in the past"

Chiaki placed the dress back where she found it and waited for the boy.

Noboru was surprised to be yanked by some stranger. Now he was on the receiving end of what he normally did to others. It wasn't bad, just odd. She started dragging him to the nearest clothing store. "Wait...wait wait... all I needed was..." It was no use. she wasn't going to listen to him and his simple needs, only get him clothes. Whenever she told him to get out of his pants, he let out a little chuckle, and it became more prominent when she turned red. Having clothes shoved into him, Noboru decided to humor the girl and went into the changing room.

"Hey..uh this is a little, oh nevermind, I got it. Wow. Am I really this muscular? This shirt is hard to button. Oh there we go."

Noboru stepped out of the dressing room, standing proudly in a white vest and black shirt, and his legs were covered up by a pair of black slacks, though they were quite tight. "So..." Noboru said, trying to break the ice, "What do you think? Oh by the way, if you're gonna drag me around, at least tell me your name first. I prefer to know the name of my kidnapper."

Rui Shinichi | Warakuma Amusement Park > House of Mirrors

The grating pain of his headache intensified as he walked towards the House of Mirrors, not with that destination in mind either. The closest stand for beverages was right next to it. Though as he got closer, and closer, the pain became too much and he stopped, and in that brief moment an image flashed in his mind as he heard a plea for help. He looked for the source, the pain was subsiding, and there was no way around it... He was hearing it all from the House of Mirrors. He had seen a girl enter not too long ago, maybe that was who...? No, a larger number of other voices began to be mixed into it.

Without thought, his direction turned towards the entrance to this attraction. His feet did not feel like his own, his eyes fixed upon the door, as he finally reached it, eerily as he touched it, it swung open slowly as if inviting him... It didn't occur to him at this moment that the guard who stood by the House of Mirrors had mysteriously vanished, as if this place was autonomous. As mindlessly as he had been led to it, he walked into the House of Mirrors, the door closing shut behind him.

Warakuma Shopping Complex

The boy came out of the changing room. He look really good, if you slapped some sunglasses on him he'd look perfect. Unfortunetly, sunglasses are not a spring accesory. Nonetheless, the boy started to talk, asking her name in a joking manner. Chiaki replied in the same way.

"But, if I answer you, you might have me arrested for hottie-napping, because you are looking FINE in those clothes, god I am amazing! Ahaha, sorry, that was a terrible joke" Chiaki turned away. Took a deep breath and grabbed some half quarter pants from a shelf. They were the same colour and stule as the slacks, but a bit more breezy and most likely easier on the legs.

Chiaki smiled sweetly and returned to her usual calm attitude before speaking another word.
"Sorry, I'm not normally like this." Tilting her head and grining, she continued.
"My name is Chiaki Nettu, it is a pleasure to meet you. And, you should swap in to these, we'll buy and walk you out in them, perhaps you'd like to have lunch with me?

Taking the pants and putting them on in the dressing room, Noboru walked out feeling more comfortable. The pants were a little looser and infintely more comfortable. "Let's see now..." Noboru mumbled, pulling out the money he had. Pulling out the correct amount, he walked up to the register and paid for it, feeling a little more comfortable than he had before and a little more stylish. "Hey Chiaki. I guess I need to tell you my name huh? My name is Noboru Yamamoto." There was a little gasp from the cashier, but she quickly dismiseed her ideas muttering something about how he didn't even look similar to them. Noboru got a little chuckle out of that reaction, it was the same way some of his teachers in the past would react as well. No one ever thought that he was "their" son, and he liked it that way too. He didn't want to be associated with them. Taking his receipt and motioning for Chiaki to follow him, they stepped out into the main area. "So any ideas on where to eat? Anything is fine with me."

Warakuma Shopping Comple - Food Court

The two moved towards the food court. There wasn't that many people in the area. The food court was actually a district on the outside of the complex, so there were a few small restaurants, with rather large lines considering how the area was a little deserted. There was a noodle place in the corner that didn't have any customers, so the two sat down and ordered.

"Well, I hope you find noodles satisfactory, ahaha" She laughed as the two looked at their menus. "I think, I'll be having the Ganmadoki with paddy noodles... Using a laksa base for my soup. How about you? They have some rather interesting combinations for a fair price."

While their food was being prepared, Chiaki decided to converse.
"So, Noboru-kun, tell me about yourself. I'm actually not from around here, so I don't really know the area. Or its people for that matter..." Chiaki's eyes looked away for a moment, then looked back.

"Well I dunno. I'll just get noodles." Noboru said, confused by a lot of her food choices. "And i'm not exactly the best person to ask about this town. I don't do much besides working out and exercising. Hell, I would get lost exploring this town. But about me? Well nothing much. I don't really have any talents or passions, though my parents could be considered famous. I don't like talking about myself though. I'm really not all that interesting. Now if you want to meet someone interesting, you should meet my older brother. He's really something..." Noboru trailed off, thinking about the odd behavior of his older sister.

Matt || Warakuma Shopping Complex

A boy who was clearly not from around stood at the front of the Shopping complex checking his phone, he was waiting for a few classmates that were going to show him around the Complex but he had suddenly got texts saying important things had come up… what were the chances 3 cancelled within the hour.
Matt had just finished replying to the latest text.
[sry Harvester cnt go, gota help the store cya l8tr]
[K man cya some other time…. and just call me Matt]
After sending the text Matt locked his phone and slid it into his pocket before heading into the complex.
“now what should I do?” He asked himself out loud before his stomach growled and he decided to find the food hall…. He hoped his terrible sense of direction mixed with not being here before didn't turn into him being lost for an hour.

~one hour later~
“[GOD DAMN IT]” Matt cursed in english at the jinx he had placed on himself… well at least he had finally found the food hall, it was full of restaurants that were busy seem as it was that time of day already he had missed the golden time to get lunch.
After a bit more walking around Matt had come across a noodle Store that only had 2 customers who seemed to be a similar age to him, So Matt went in and ordered,
“hey, I’ll just get 2 bowls of pork noodles….and I’ll be sitting with those two over there” Matt placed his order and pointed over to the other customers that where just finishing ordering.

Matt then wandered over to the table as the boy had finished talking,
“Yo, mind if I join you two? I don’t know many in the area and was getting bored so I hope you don't mind” He said with a huge grin while he pulled out a chair and sat down.
“oh how rude of me the names Matthew Harvester, but I prefer to just be called Matt…..” He came in like a storm then just went silent….
“...wait… I didn't just crash a date or something did I? hahaha” Matt scratched the back of his head with an awkward laugh.

@GM@
As the two teenagers descend even deeper into the house, its noted that each mirror looks exactly the same, and doesn't distort the image of a person in anyway... They're all normal mirrors. As the two begin to wander around in a seemingly aimless direction in the sea of mirrors, something.... Peculiar happens. As they run around looking for a said number of people, shadowy hands protrude from the mirror, grabbing at one of their arms, and legs. They both lose their balance, and try to resist the arms dragging them in, but it is futile. No amounts of damage done by either characters will do anything if they tried.

The two are soon fully enveloped by the mirror, and any screaming, or shrieking that happened by any of them moments ago has rotted away into silence. The house was bare, and naught a soul occupied its confines. The only truth that could only be told right now is that five teenagers were dragged into another world, crawling with vicious monsters.

-Kaminari : Warakuma Police Station?-
As Kami rolled around on the floor, it seemed like he was ensnared in a horrible nightmare, as he rolled around, trying to wake up, he bumped his head into something, and was awakened by the hit he felt. He rose up from his slumber and looked at what seemed to be a desk... Wait what? The teen pushed himself upward, and took a look around the area, and much to his horror he was stuck in the Warakuma police station. There was no one seen, and naught a body to be found sitting, talking, working, etc. Was he really at the Warakuma police station? As he pondered this questio, he suddenly realized something - that he was alone. None of his friends were around, and he began searching for them almost anywhere.

"Yo Kato, Sachiko, you here? Hello? Someone please answer me!"

The only thing that answered Kami back was the loud echo replying from the depths of the station. There was no one here with him, and it was frightening. Was this some sort of horrid dream that he was plopped down into? He pinched himself tightly, and he confirmed that this wasn't a dream of sorts, but a strange reality he had been sucked into. However, he felt wherever he was, he wasn't in town anymore. He pulled out something from his pocket, and stretched it out - an electric baton. If anything happened to attack them, they would get either a nice shock running through their veins or a bruise and possibly some bleeding if he smacked them. As he finished his survey, he walked outside of the police station.

---

-Kaminari : Mirror World-
As Kami stepped out of the police station and looked up, he could confirm that he was not at all in Warakuma. The sky was litterally made up of mirrors, glowing in a reddish hue. The world outside had some fog that shrouded the land, however it soon was dispelled immediately, showing some missing parts of the landscape. As he began surveying the foreign area, he caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a person in blue. Finally he found some sign of life! He lowered his baton, and began walking towards the person, nervously smiling.

"Hey, uhm... Guy? Do you know where I'm at?"

The person didn't look back, however they had a physique and height that seemed to be like Kamis. He had the same colored hair, and the same colored pants - how peculiar. As if on command, the person began running away, seemingly leaving Kami in the dust. Kami was surprised by the persons sudden reaction, and decided to pursue the mysterious fellow.

"Wait, come back, I just want to know where I am, and if you know where my friends are possibly at!"

Little did the teen know that the others would soon be chasing their own shadow, leading them somewhere. It was unknown where the shadow selves were headed, but it seems they were heading in the general direction of the amusement park... Too bad that Kami, and co. don't know what surprises await them in this horrid world of shadows.

((OOC Note - Its time to forward the plot! Say hello to the mirror world Aqua, Cuco, Vita, and Sho!))

-Yakudatsu : Warakuma Shoping Complex-
As he followed Chiaki, a plea for help was heard by the duo. As Chiaki ran off, Yaku pondered if it would be a good idea to follow after her... But before he could react, he was smothered with the baggage Chiaki bought from the stores. "Oy Chiaki, wait up!" Yakudatsu jogged after the girl, following he to what appeared to be a muscley boy of sorts who looked to be in highschool. As he was about to ask what Chiaki was doing, she dragged the boy off into the store.

Yaku decided to take a break, and sat down with most of the items Chiaki aquired on a bench. Hopefully the two wouldn't take too long, otherwise Yaku was just going to head home and put this stuff in her room. After a while, the two walked out of the store, heading to another location. "(Might as well see what their up too... I don't know who this guy is, but I don't know if he is a neighborhood punk or a friendlt student.)"

Yakudatsu quickly picked up the items, slowly following the two.

---

-Yakudatsu : Warakuma Shopping Complex - The Food Court-
As he followed the two, he found himself outside of a noodle place which hosted almost no one except the two teenagers inside. Yaku approached the two carrying the bags that contained whatever Chiaki bought. He peered at the two on the side of the bag,and began to speak to the two.

"Hey Chiaki, what was that, just leaving me behind with the things you bought? Didja forget that I'm holding most of the goods you procured from the store?" The boy let out a sigh as he continued speaking to the two. "Anyways, who are you, a new friend to my cousin," he asked his eyes staring directly at the short boy. There was no hostility radiating from Yaku, but it was more or less a friendly to neutral vibe.
