Kyoko blinked her eyes when she was pulled to walk along side Yuichi as one hand reached around and rubbed behind her head, "I-I know Yuichi, but I just can't help it," she spoke in a soft and meek voice. She let out another sigh herself, what an embarrassment she must be for Yuichi, why he chose her for weapon she will never know. Although at his side Kyoko felt more safe then she's ever been, so I guess it was better than being a wandering spirit like she was.

Her head turned to him with widened eyes and she swallowed slightly, "P-Phantom hunting?" I guess it wasn't all that bad if they went hunting, not like she was doing the work, mostly it was Yuichi who would just toss her around. She still hates the cries of the phantoms they were killing, even knowing they were bad for this world, it still made her sad. "Um, I guess so," her voice trailed off and she looked ahead now. Instinctly Kyoko reached around and grasped the back of Yuichi's shirt tight, to be sure the two weren't separated. It was just a precaution, though Yuichi would never take his eyes off her for some weird reason. She didn't turn to him, but a small smile pulled at the corners of her mouth and she let out a slight giggle, "ice cream sounds great," she spoke a little more chipper now, as if the phantom subject was off the table.

"Yuko, wait," Itoeku said, her pace catching up with the young God. "I know you have me, little one. But there may be a time in a place where I may not be there for you, to care for you." She was hinting to that fact that if her name were to ever crack, or if she were to die. "I think friends are healthy for you, and it wouldn't be hard since you are so friendly." Itoeku let out a small sigh, "I shouldn't be lecturing you now, but I want you to be happy."

@Raining
Yuko looked up at Itoeku with her wide brown eyes that were filling with tears. "I won't let anything happen to you Itoeku! I would rather die first before you were to be hurt." She said flinging her thin arms around her Shinki.

@booksmusicanime
She sighed and patted Yuko's head, smiling lightly. "Don't cry, I just want you to have a friend or two. Do you think you can try that? To make a friend?" Itoeku asked. The young woman knelt down and used the fabric of her gloves to pat down the young God's eyes. "I'll buy you something nice."

@SpazzyKat

“Kyoko” his voice was soft now as felt her grip the back of his shirt, all Gods were linked to their Shinkis thoughts and feelings and he could feel the uncertainty in her. “As long as you're my Shinki I will never let anything happen to you, and don’t ever worry why I choose you. You’re the sweetest gal a guy could ever ask for. You bring out the best in me kid.” He ruffled the hair on the top of her head and opened the door of the ice cream parlor. "You're my best friend, and you'll be my right hand lady when we make it big... besides who would laugh at all my wonderful jokes?" He grinned and shoved her through the door gently.

"You are very right but I have something to do before going big." Kurami said as she spotted the one and only god of luck. A blast of the purple wave like thing passed from her to a father who just got an icecream cone along with his kid eating a melty ice cream cone. The kid's ice cream fell onto the floor and the father slipped on the ice cream causing it to fly forward straight at the god of luck's face.@TheTwistedOne

@Raining
"O-Okay." Yuko said sniffling looking at Itoeku. Despite being hundreds of years older than her Shinki Yuko was almost like a child. She idolized her Shinki despite trying be a role model for her.

@TheTwistedOne

"H-Hey!" Kyoko flustered and fixed her hair that he purposefully messed up. It even turned her into a darker shade of red when he said what he said, mostly out of embarrassment I suppose, but it made her smile a little as well. As Yuichi hurriedly pushed her in the parlor it was kinda difficult for her feet to catch up, mostly cause she wasn't expecting the shove. "Wha!" Kyoko tripped over her own feet and ended up falling forward, luckily catching herself with her hands, and just landed on her knees, "Yuichi," she turned to look behind herself, having her mouth form into a pout. Kyoko picked herself up and brushed off her clothing, forgetting that happened, Kyoko turned to Yuichi with a sweet and genuine smile on her face, "well as long as I'm your Shinki, I'll follow wherever you go." Her attention then turned towards the variety of ice cream and walked up to the counter as she looked at the flavors, "Mmm, they all sound yummy!" She chirped, "I don't know which to pick," then her gaze moved to Yuichi, "which do you like Yuichi?"

When she turned she saw that a bit of misfortune happened and some ice cream was being flung towards him, "Yuichi!" She cried out and in an instant she started moving, already in front of Yuichi as the ice cream hit her instead of him. She let out a sigh of relief and flicked off the ice cream on her face, not paying attention to the other god, she turned to Yuichi with a smile, "are you alright?" She was well aware that Yuichi could have taken care of that himself, but it was just a reaction she didn't even have to think about. Her eyes averting him for a moment looked to the other goddess and that sent her into a mode of cowering. Again her arms wrapped around herself and looked down, keeping quiet, as it was none of her business. For some reason she was afraid of the goddess of misfortune.

@booksmusicanime
Despite Yuko's attempts to be a role model, it had never truly worked with Itoeku. In fact it was rather opposite. The Shinki was the adult figure in this scenario, and the God was the one whom looked up to her. Itoeku constantly tried hard to prove points, to make things clear and set a good example, because even though Yuko was much older than she, she was still naive in some aspects.
"I want you to be happy, Yuko." Itoeku cooed, "Do you still want to go to the store? Or do you want to try socializing? Some Gods are nearby."

Hisaoka was already bursting out laughing before the ice cream even hit it's target. "That's great!" He exclaimed. He made sure to stay close to Kurami though. He really didn't enjoy talking to others. Besides, she may need him as a weapon if things went wrong.

@Raining
"Let's go to the store." Yuko said softly and tugging on the sleeves of her denim jacket. She could sense the gods near them but she didn't want to see any of them, not when she was upset.

@SpazzyKat
His attention was focused on the tower of ice cream he planned to eat and he was caught of guard as Kyoko tripped over her own feet. He reached out to grab her, but didn’t grab her in time. He frowned seeing Kyoko pout, she was just so sweet and innocent it upset him so much to see her sad or hurt so he always tried his best to keep her happy in their spare time.

”That’s my girl. he replied happily and with a smile at her words. He was pleased Kyoko enjoyed tagging along everywhere he went. He couldn’t ask for anything more than that. ”I like chocolate, but lets get one of every scoop!” his eyes sparkled as he looked all the flavours. What a fatty.

@Kitty

The glorious moment of ice cream was short lived as Yuichi was nearly hit in the face by a flying scoop of ice cream, he side stepped in just enough time, but the ice cream still grazed the side of his face. He wiped the ice cream from his cheek and turned to face the God he hoped to not see for a long while ”Kurami” his tone was harsh, “And why are you interrupting this important moment? he stood in between Kurami and Kyoko now. He didn’t hate her, but they were clearly rivals. He granted the wishes of luck and wealth and Kurami brought misfortune everywhere she went.

@booksmusicanime
She nodded slowly and began walking again. Itoeku remained silent for the time being, since she knew Yuko was upset at the topic of friendship and the other gods. The Shinki was still curious as to why she was so against the idea of speaking with them, and why it was so complicated to make friends, yet questioning her now would only make her more upset, and Itoeku didn't want that.

"Oh. Icecream is important? You make me laugh Yuichi." Kurami said coldly as she walked towards him more, her red eyes no longer holding enjoyment but now just a cold stare. "What are you going to do about it Yuichi? You wouldn't possibly think to fight me would you? Or would you. I could cause this whole building the misfortune of catching on fire if I really wanted to. I also have a feeling that your Shinki isn't one who enjoys fighting to much. So I ask you again, what are you going to do about me interrupting the oh so important moment?" Kurami asked, her red eyes now holding a challenging look in them.

@Kitty @TheTwistedOne

Kyokos head lifted when she was mentioned, the goddess of misfortune wasn't wrong she wasn't one to fight. Hearing that brought a bit of tears to her eyes, just made her feel more useless then she already was towards Yuichi and she blinked her eyes a few times to hold them back while letting out a sigh. She looked around Yuichi at the one called Kurami and her glare just made her cower even more and even taking a few steps back. Her Shinki had a lot more backbone then Kyoko did, why why did Yuichi choose her. If a fight was going to break out Kyoko would do her best to assist Yuichi but for the moments her mind was clouded and she kept silent to not take part in their encounter.

@Raining
It took Yuko a few moments before she started skipping towards the store. She felt bad for not telling her Shinki what she was the god of but she was fine with it for now.

"Are uh... you sure we need to get into a fight now?" Hisaoka whispered to Kurami, hopefully to where the god and shinki couldn't here him. He tried his best to look composed but he wasn't necessarily prepared for a fight. He would definitely be there for Kurami though if push came to shove.

@Kitty

His eyes narrowed in on Kurami and he almost let out a hissing sound “Set it ablaze and I’ll gladly grant the luck for everyone to leave here unharmed”

@Rin Okumura@SpazzyKat

He felt Kyoko’s pain and how hurt she felt by Kuramis words. His gazed was then burning into the Shinki Hisaoka “Why don’t you worry about your devious little twerp of a shinki instead of underestimating mine. Kyoko has never disappointed me, it doesn’t matter if she likes to fight or not." He puffed out his chest and adjusted his stance, Yuichi was ready for a fight and ready to summon Kyoki to his side, "Be strong for me Kyoko" he whispered to himself.

@booksmusicanime
Itoeku sighed in relief as she watched the little God skip. "Wait, Yuko, do you feel that?" She could feel a slight pressure of energy build, as if two Gods were bound to fight. She grew worried, yet remained cool as she caught up with Yuko and placed a hand on her shoulder. "The store might have to wait..."

@Raining
"I do. Let's go check it out. Stay close to me because this could be dangerous." Yuko said, loosing her playful nature and taking on a more serious one as she walked towards the ice cream shop. "I may call on you so I can break up this fight." She said grasping the wrist of her shinki.
