___________________________________

Mikage sighed out weakly and put the red, help wanted sign outside his shop door and bit his lip slightly.. His eyes heavy from how tired he felt and looked... Meanwhile Elisa looked out the window and sighed out a bit.

" Do you think he skipped?"

" Oh looky whos worred.' Mikage suddenly grinnd earning a glare from hsi blond haired wife. She hissed and then sighed out softly as she looked out once more, her mouth forming a large pout.

"I'm not too worried, but he came home bloody that night ya know? Are you sure you should of let him go alone?" She arched her brow making mikage nod slightly and then sigh out softly.'

" He'll be fine Elisa. Hes strong, believe me.' The man smiled and closed ther door after placing the sign, he then sighed out and went to the counter, opened a can of tuna and placed it for Saki. The cat meowed slightly and somehow started to eat it leaving the man to sigh,

" She should be worried about the fact that we have to hire someone sure I wasn't gonna give Tomoe all the worl but hiring someone will be big. We have to give them pay, and maybe if the situation proves a pain? A room..' he sighed out while Elisa nodded weakly.

" Someone to run the shop when you go to the god aseembly this year?" She arched her brow making him sigh out but nod a bit, he then ran a hand through his hair.

" Yes, Yes..' he hwispered weakly, " I mean a teenager maybe? But Tomoe has to get along with them..' he muttered weakly leaving her to smile weakly and nod... But she knew already that, that would be impossible.

Completely impossible...'

She then groaned and bit her lip slightly,

" Can we even afford another hire?" She whspered leaving Mikage to sigh out and swallow,

" We could try..' he whispered leaving Elisa to arch her brow slightly. She then shook her head and look down weakly running her long hair through her eyes slightly,

" But Tomoe needs new clothes..' She whispered weakly, " New clothes, new shoes, soaps... And then lets not forget we have to watch him given hes in the dating age... Dating age means he could try to sneak girls.. stay out to late.." She paled with each word leaving Mikage to arch his brow and then laugh slightly,

" Ahhh.. You already care for him." he smiled gently at her before she glared darkly at him. He chuckled at this and then sat down slightly across from her, his smile never leaving his face.

" Relax okay?" he whispered softly and then smiled, " We will find a way to get the stuff we need." he smiled gently, " Maybe this year I'll get a raise for my godly duties.' He smiled weakly making her bite her lip.

" I hope so..' She whispered weakly and then sighed out, " Lets go for a walk..' She whispered but smiled gently, " I mean its a nice day right? Maybe we can try to look around for him?.. In case he ditched?" She muttered weakly making him pause but smirk slghtly.

" Your adorable..'

" Shut up..'

Tomoe glared darkly at the girl in front of him. His eyes narrowed in hate as he did.

" What do mean what am I doing here?" He glared, " I'm here for class sissy!" he snapped leaving the girl with brown eyes to glare.

" You do know your an hour early right!?" She suddenly snapped leaving him to pause and then twitch slghtly. He then ground his teeth and looked away in a pissed off manner making her smirk.

" Now whos the Sissy?" She glared making him jerk his head towards her in an annoyed way. His eyes narrowed, turning to slits evily. This left the girl, however, unmoved. She huffed slightly and shook her head,

" Looks like you cut off your girly hair.'

" Looks like you broke those dumb glasses.'

" Looks like you straightened up.'

" Looks like you feel on your chest since its flat.'

" EXCUSE ME!?!" Nanami suddenly snapped making him smirk slightly. He then hissed evilly and turned his head harshly to look at the front of the class before she ground her teeth and twitched, her eyes narrowed before she then picked up a book and chucked it at him..

Tomoe then paused and growled darkly at her making her pause and gulp, He glared darkly before the teacher walked in and blinked, which only made Nanami relax slightly from releif.'

" What are you two doing in here?" She paused and then looked between them, on the other hand.... She arched her brow and tapped her foot making Nanami pause and then blush like mad. Tomoe on the other hand paled and then nearly choked his ears pinned.

" I-IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!!" They both screamed suddenly making her fix her glasses....

Ohhhhh..

He hated this girl...'

Elisa paused, her eyes wide as she stared at Tomoe.... He dropped his bag on the floor hopped on the counter, and then snuggled his cat Saki...

" Was it that bad?" She whispered in shock, her eyes wide as Tomoe sent her a weak look.

" I didn't ditch.... I was tempted... but I didn't he growled out and kept his back to her, " Stupid people, controlling my life.' he hissed making her glare weakly but intsdead of snapping she sighed out weakly.

" What happened at school?" She arched brow and started to clean the counter off while he refused to move from one part of it. His eyes weak as he hugged Saki, who just hssed from the tight squeeze.

" Why would you care?" he whispered and huffed making her blink and then sigh out a bit. He still didn't get them... He didn't get why they adopted him, plus he was still full of so much attitude . This was going to take awhile..

Meanwhile Tomoes thought was pure annoaynce.. That girl was in ALL his classes, which pissed him off. he was stuck with her, and he got n trouble with the teacher for , ' Public show of emotions in school.' Not that they were doing anything stupid.

He hated this... and now he HAD to go home. He had to tell them about his day, he HAD to sit with them.. this was weird and he wasn't used to it at all... Being Adopted was weird...'

" Well.. I do care.. So what hap-

" When is the room gonna be done?" he muttered as he sat up slightly. She blinked from being interrupted but fnally just gave up and swallowed slghtly,

"Almost... " She whispered before Tomoe nodded and huffed as he looked down. He stared at the floor leaving her to bite her lip.. until Mikage patted his head and grinned making Tomoe yelp and jump. He flinched and winced leaving elisa to bite her lip even more...

Was he beat in those other homes?

Mikage on the other hand smiled weakly and swallowed " Sorry... Didn't mean to scare you.." he smiled weakly and then sighed out gently, " I was just here to tell you to go get the broom and sweep abit..' he smiled gently, " Dinner will be ready soon and I'll close the shop in a few more mintes." he smiled softly at the fox leaving the teen to huff and grind his teeth.

" Stupid people making me work." he hissed and walked to the guest room to get dressed in his chore clothes. Mikage on the other hand sghed out weakly and swallowed a bit,

" Hes in a bag mood." he whispered leaving Elisa to huff weakly and lean on her hands.

" He always is.." She sighed out making Mikage grin and hug her from behind. She suddenly yelped, not expecting him to hug her. She whined but lightly sacked his arm.

" Don't scare me Mikage!" She whined and turned so that she was facing him.

But mikage snickered slightly and chuckled,

" But you love it when I cuddle you.." he whispered and smirked, he could of swore he heard Tomoe gag upstairs but he shoved it off and chuckled slightly as he nuzzled her... Elisa smiled softly and snuggled him slghtly before the bell above the door sounded.

They both yelped and quickly backed away from each other, their eyes wide in shock. Before blnking when they saw who walked. She paused and then smiled weakly while Elsia stared at the girl in front of them..

She had bright brown eyes and beautful brown hair..... She held a school bag and she looked like she was from Tomoe's school... Oh god no.. Don't tell her he already picked some girl up!? She whined slightly and gulped but smiled weakly.'

" A-Ah... May we help you?" She smiled weakly as the grl smiled weakly and nodded,

" Um... Yes..' She whispered, " i'm here for the help wanted sign?" She whispered slightly leaving Mikage to blink. His eyes suddenly tinted as he grabbed her arm and then shook her hand,

" Oh Yes!! " he smiled brightly, " The job s for managment, or at least when we are to busy.. so an assistant.' he smiled making her blink and swallow weakly.'

" O-Oh..' She whispered a bit, " Um... What do I have to do?" she blinked as he smiled and then went behind the counter a bit,

"Sweeping, sorting.... we have someone else here that works as well... and I suppose your a highschool student, but after school hours is good.' he smiled gently making her nod slightly and swallow.'

" I can do all of that.' She smiled brightly leaving him to smile,

" Thats good.. But I won't go easy on you, your the first person after all." he nodded, " I can give you a trial day... it will determine if we can use you." he smiled gently , " Whats your name dear?" he smiled as she blinked and paused..

She looked down at her school shoes and then breathed out a bit,

" Nanami.' She whispered..... Only for Tomoe to freeze on the steps and then hiss.. this made her look up and glare before Elisa paused in confusion, Mikage blinked, his eyes wide as Tomoe growled slightly.

" YOU!!" They both snapped and then sneered at each other...

Oh god..'
