the mall

[underbears]

Aud rolled her eyes childishly towards Fuyuki. "I wasn't talking to you..." She mumbled with a yawn, looking away. Why was he here??

Vlad blinked, tapping Aud on the shoulder. "I couldn't find my way back and I lost Shadow and Carly." He said, noticing the look on Aud's face and using the child-like nickname for Slash.

((I see. ^^))

Fuyuki rolled his eyes back at Aud. "I was just talking to you,jeeze."

-----
Kioshi ducked behind Tsukiko at the new man in their "Mall group",taking Tsukiko's arm with him.

-----
"Hey,aren't you Vlad?" Tsukiko asked politely.  

[underbears]

Vlad blinked, surprised he remembered her. "Yeah..." He said, raising an eyebrow. He glanced down to her arm, where Kioshi was. Slowly a small smile spread on his face. He was so cute! "You're Tsukiko right?" He asked, looking at her.

Aud stuck out her tongue, narrowing her eyes towards Fuyuki. "Whatever."

Talon yawned, standing up and pushing the chair away. "Well, there's too many people here. I'm out." He muttered, walking away. He snickered softly as he pushed another teenager out of the way.  

[1Tsukiko1]

Fuyuki just laughed at her.

-----
She smiled at him. "Yeah. To be honest,I didn't think you'd remember me."

-----
Kioshi blushed and ducked deeper at Vlad's thoughts. 'I'm not cute...'

((I'm gonna post his thoughts even if he isn't thinking to anyone. Just 'cause he doesn't really talk much.))  

[underbears]

Aud glared, crossing her arms. "Stop laughing!" She growled.

Vlad smiled as well. "I have a good memory." He said with a small nod, looking back to Kioshi. "So...Who's he...?"  

[1Tsukiko1]

He laughed again. "But you're so funny!" Fuyuki smiled. "I think I'll follow in Talon's foot steps and leave." He left,but not before scrunching Kioshi's hair and earning a glare from him.

-----
"He's Kioshi." She answered. "My brother." She laughed at her sibling's-now scrunched-hair.

-----
Kioshi restraightened his hair with his free hand and leaned against Tsukiko's back,nodding off.  

[underbears]

Aud frowned. "Not a good idea to follow in his footsteps, you know!" She shouted after him, glaring.

Vlad waved softly as Fuyuki left, not noticing how much Aud practically hated him. "Can he shift...?" He asked, now for some reason interested in the boy. 'You can read minds?' He thought, looking at Kioshi.  

[1Tsukiko1]

Tsukiko laughed. "He's my brother,of course he-"

Kioshi nodded shorty before he fell asleep,shifting into a blonde wolf.

"Well..looks like I didn't need to answer that." She giggled,looking at the sleeping form. "Oh,and we should probably get him off the floor..." She said nervously,not wanting to wake him and face his wrath.  

[underbears]

Vlad nodded. "Well, I was just wondering, because not all in our family can shift." He said with a shrug, watching as he fell asleep. "Want me to help...?" Vlad asked calmly, crouching down by the boy/wolf.

Aud blinked. She wasn't very strong so she probably couldn't help. "I'm gonna go. Bye teddy!" She chirped as she pecked him on the cheek and left with a small wave.

Vlad blushed at the nickname. Not the best name of all time, especially when it came from 'teddy bear'. "I can pick him up, if you want." He mumbled, looking up at Tsukiko.  

[1Tsukiko1]

She waved to Aud then looked back at Vlad and nodded. "Uh...sure. Just don't wake him." She laughed,though there was a very small amount of fear in her voice. "Also...Teddy? Why's she call you that?" She almost laughed again,though she stopped herself on the account that she thought it might be rude.  

[underbears]

He gave a small laugh, putting a hand to the back of his head. "Uh...It's a nickname. From teddy bear...." He smiled, thinking he should probably explain it better. "Aud knows I like to help people and stuff...so she started calling me that..On account that I'd never hurt a fly..." He mumbled, picking the small wolf/boy up. Surprisingly, he was pretty light. "Should I put him on a bench or something?" He asked dumbly.  

[1Tsukiko1]

"Really? That's sorta cute." She then replied to the later comment. "Sure,where ever you want." She giggled,at both his nickname and the thought that the pair she was seeing was pretty cute as well.  

[underbears]

"Eh, if you want to be called Teddy Bear for the rest of your life..." He stepped over to the mall bench, setting Kioshi down gently and sitting next to him. Vlad blinked, glancing up at her, confused to why she was giggling. "...Anyways, what do you mean 'sorta cute'?"  

[1Tsukiko1]

She smiled at his comment then looked at him,confused. "What else could I mean? I think your nickname is cute."

Kioshi moved in his sleep,lifting his head onto Vlad's lap.  

[underbears]

Vlad blinked, yet again. "Oh...Okay." He mumbled, freezing when Kioshi moved into his lap. "Uh...heh.." He said, smiling down towards him. "You and Alec are still dating, right?" He asked worriedly, looking back up at her and lightly petting Kioshi's head. "Aud told me things didn't look too good..."
