As they walked out of the restaurant, Riyo sighed and shook her head. "I just wanna go back to the dorm." She said softly, glancing down at the sidewalk.
Hearing his daughter so unenthusiastic about spending time together, Jess made a pouty face. "But Riyo. Don't you want to-"
"Hey, there he is!" Came a feminine shout, followed by inaudible gaggle of voices from a distance. Flashes were going off, cameras were rolling, and people were being loud as hell. It was enough to make Riyo vomit.
"Ah, it's my public. C'mon Riyo, don't you want your picture taken for a magazine or something?"
Immediately, Riyo started to move away from the scene, but it was soon evident that they were surrounded.
"Jess, who is this? New love interest?" A photographer asked, pen and paper in hand ready to take some notes.
"Heavens no, just my..." He paused for dramatic effect. "Long lost daughter!"
A gasp overtook the crowd, immediately swarming the girl with bright lights and cameras. "********! Get out of my face!" Riyo immediately covered her eyes from the bright lights, obviously agitated.

Shun stayed still for Mitsu as she worked on wiping away the blood. Glancing over at her, he nodded, tensing up as the rubbing alcohol definitely stung like hell. Hissing along side of that, he didn't relax until the pain ebbed down some.
"It might be a little tricky to warp... this should be fine as is. Thank you," he said quietly.
----
"Heading back to the dorms sound like a pretty good idea," agreed Blade, though he practically froze as they were surrounded once they left the restaurant. His dark red eyes widened as he stared at the fans and press, but they soon narrowed as they (or Riyo to be more specific) were being swarmed by the lot.
"Back off!" he frowned while staring at Jess, hoping he could get them to go away, "Why did you have to answer them?"

Mitsu nodded. That's why she had asked. She didn't know if it would be more trouble than it was worth. "Okay." Cleaning up the mess she had made she took the washcloth into the bathroom to rinse it out before setting it aside to dry. Coming back out she looked at the assassin curiously now that he was all patched up.
"I..if you want to rest I can go....you did...get shot after all." Mitsu still couldn't believe how much the whole thing didn't bother her. She was more worried about how it didn't effect her. Was there something wrong with her?
---
Klyde gave a nod more than happy to escort her back to the dorm and possibly be rid of her father for now, but just as soon as they stepped foot out the door it seemed there was a group of paparazzi waiting for them. Cameras flashing, the crowd loomed closer to Riyo as Jess made his proclamation. What a simple minded a**.
"Great idea, genus!" Klyde hissed as he tried to step in front of Riyo but it seemed the media was far to determined to at least take her picture, a thousand questions pouring from their mouths, the words all meshed together where nothing made sense. "She's just going to love this."
Looking to Blade, Klyde gave him a pleading look. If it was for anyone but Riyo he never would have sought help from the thief. "Get her out of here, I'll try to keep them back." Just as he said that one of the men with a large fancy camera stepped forward to take a picture over Klyde's shoulder. "Hey, back off!" Klyde hissed pushing the man back.

Jess, not realizing his folly, smiled and shrugged. "What? Who doesn't love the spotlight?"
Riyo, that was who. To her, no attention was good attention, though it seemed she was damned to always have some whether positive or negative."Klyde!" She called out for help, hoping that he could somehow magically take her away from this situation. She wasn't sure whether to try and charge through the bastards or curl up in a ball and pretend they weren't there.
"What's your name? How old are you? Do you aspire to be famous like your father? Could we get the first interview?" Came questions from the almost faceless crowd as Riyo continued to keep her face covered and eyes shut. They didn't realize they were poking a bees nest, did they?
Meanwhile, the press that was still focused on Jess was receiving a touching story about how they had been reunited... A story that was obviously bullshit to anybody who'd been there. "... And that's when she cried out to me, brought to tears at the sight of my handsome face, for it had been so long! The nights, so harsh and cold without a father to tuck her in." Ugh. What a ham.

"No it's fine, I'm really ok," Shun said quietly while looking down towards her handiwork. He'd have to be careful with using that arm for awhile, but it shouldn't slow him down all that much.
"If there's something you wanted to watch, we could still do that. But otherwise... you could head back if you want," he offered, letting her decide what she wanted to do exactly.
---
"Not everyone is like you, a*****e," frowned Blade towards Jess. Turning his attention to Klyde, he merely nodded before trying to grab a hold of Riyo so he could lead her away from the media. He was good at laying low and getting away from people... but this was a little different. It'd be a challenge for sure, but he was determined to try and help her here since to him it was rather obvious she did not want to be in the spotlight.
A part of him was even tempted to bring some fire into this scene to distract people... but that could go wrong rather quickly.
"Come on, let's get you out of here.."

"We can watch something here so we don't have to go out again.." Mitsu offered. "Do you have any movies?"
---
"If you could open your damn eyes you might see," Klyde growled pushing another guy back who was far too close for comfort. Hearing her father spew the bullshit about how they had met only seemed to grate Klyde the wrong way. He wasn't really helping the situation and it was more difficult for Riyo to move since the crowd was all the more eager to learn about this long lost daughter.
That's when an idea struck him. It was possibly the worst idea in history but the likelihood that it would work was high. "Hey, Old man!" Klyde grabbed hold of Jess' shirt before he drew back his fist and aimed a punch square for the vocalist's jaw. Oh his father was going to have a hay day over this, but it was slightly gratifying in its own right.

The crowd let out a loud gasp as some unknown kid hit their big star right in the jaw, silence befalling them for a short time before pictures began flying all over the place. Most of the paparazzi surrounding Riyo fled to this new development, leaving only a few meager stragglers.
Hearing the change in people's voices and them slowly fading away, Riyo opened her eyes to see that... Klyde had punched her father.
Oh, thank God.
Frowning, she grabbed hold of Blade's jacket, though she couldn't pry her eyes from the vampire who'd just saved her a**. She owed him for this one.
Jess... Looked shocked, to say the least. While he usually was good about keeping his guard up, this little blood sucking piece of s**t had just snuck up on him while he was talking (lying) to the media.
Slowly, his face morphed from shock to pure anger, a small red glow in his eyes. "You little s**t." He mumbled, aiming an equally powerful punch at Klyde's gut. Well, he could get his street cred back now if he wanted.

Nodding, Shun looked over at his computer. It probably wasn't used as much as others his age due to his struggles with reading, but it was helpful for a few things.
"I do. Though, I'm not sure if they're movies you'd like. I guess we could always watch something off of Netflix," he said, "We could take a look through there?"
---
Glancing back, Blade had to give Klyde some props for that hit. It was a pretty ballsy move for sure. Not hesitating once they were in the clear, he lead Riyo away and into one of the alleyways to cut through. It'd probably be better if they weren't right on the streets at the moment.
He couldn't tell if he was envious of her or glad that it wasn't him in this situation.
"..Are you alright?"

"Sure, we can look," Taking the initiative, Mitsu sat by the computer and pulled up the site and started to browse. It didn't seem like she was searching for any one type of thing but her eyes did seem to land on something interesting all of a sudden. "T...they have My Little Pony. I always wanted to see it when I was little." She seemed rather fascinated as she read over the description though she made no notion toward that being her choice. It was probably something Shun didn't want to watch anyway.
----
Klyde started to smirk, as far as bad ideas went at least this one was gratifying. If only for a moment. When the vocalist turned on him, however, he had started to say something but the hit to the gut had been a bit more powerful than he imagined it would be. "Heh, bring it on you old- eh.." The vampire had to do his best not to double over. It had...actually hurt, though he should have known better. Riyo was stronger than she looked...it would only make sense that her dad was too.
Giving little attention to the people around them busy snapping pictures Klyde gave a growl before he lunged toward Jess aiming to tackle him to the ground. His eyes too had began to glow in his anger, his lips drawn back to expose his fangs. He wasn't sure what he was getting into continuing this fight but he was going to do what he could to give Riyo time to escape.

Riyo stayed silent moments after Blade asked the question, trying to decide if she was or not. "I... I don't know." She answered honestly, eyes focused on the ground as they continued to move.
"I guess I should be happy... But I'm really not." At all. "... Do you think I'm being ungrateful?" She asked meekly, knowing that Blade had never really had parents either.
"You son of a-" Jess hissed as he was taken to the ground, though he tried to move with the flow of the fall in an attempt to flip Klyde so the tables would be turned.
There were excited shouts and a couple of screams as people flocked to watch the event, though nobody tried to break them up for fear of losing limbs. It was probably better that way.
"See if I let you in my ******** house now, you little leech." He mumbled, letting another punch loose aimed nowhere in particular.

Shun was glad that she had taken the initiative, lest he ended up messing something up in typing and landing them on some porn site instead. However, he soon furrowed his brow as she mentioned My Little Pony.
"...Is that what you want to watch?"
---
Keeping up their pace, Blade glanced at her and considered what she said. For the moment, his eyes cast away while he thought over the answer.
"I.. don't know. I really can't tell if I'm envious of you or what. I mean.. on one hand you finally have your family but... this isn't exactly what I'd consider ideal.."
"I really don't know."

Mitsu smiled nervously. "W...we can watch something else. I was just curious that's why I clicked on it." Clicking back she started to browse again. "Do you want to watch something funny?"
---
All was going well until the tables were suddenly turned and Klyde found himself on his back staring up at the vocalist's angry face. "I didn't think you'd invite me over anyway, you old geezer! I can spend time with Riyo elsewhere instead of dealing with -oh!" This time the punch hit him in the collar bone. For the love of god this hurt. It was far different than being wailed on by a meager human or animal hybrid. Their punches hardly did anything.
In retaliation and in an attempt to get Jess away from him, Klyde kicked out his feet toward the vocalist's gut. It seemed all eyes were on them now. A little longer and he would make a break for it. He was already in some pretty deep s**t.

And then Riyo felt bad. Both for Blade and the fact that she was complaining about something he didn't have. Something he wanted.
"I've learned that just because he played a role in my creation doesn't mean he's my family, Blade." That was like saying her mother was family.
"If anything... In some weird sorta twisted way, You guys are my family. You, Klyde, Mitsu, and Neko..." What a ******** up family. "Honestly, I don't think I could ask for better people to have around. The quirkiness is what keeps everything interesting."
"GEEZER?!" Now that one hurt... Like the boot in his gut. Letting out a groan of pain, Jess did the best the could to compose himself, both physically and mentally. "Then I'll just have to do my best to keep her away from you!" Jess forced himself back to his feet with nimble cat-like reflexes and aimed his boot at Klyde's side.

That nervous smile hinted that she wanted to see it, but she wasn't really admitting to it. Though if she really wanted to see it, he suppose that he'd bear with it, but it seemed that there could be some compromising here in the very least.
"Something funny would work," he nodded, even though comedies generally only managed to make him amused. True laughter that didn't have some sort of sarcastic backing to it came as rare as his smiles, if not even more so.
--
Looking at Riyo, Blade found himself wondering just what it meant to be in a family. He really only thought of the biological aspect of it, and in his case it worked out while it lasted. It was just crushed, and pretty much remained that way for the rest of his life.
The continuation of her answer had him pausing. It was... an odd thought for sure, but it felt nice that she considered him that way.
"Glad to hear it," he said with a faint smile as he continued to walk again, "I guess a family could be more than just blood ties or official papers.."

"What about this one?" Mitsu asked as she clicked on the movie 'New Groove.' It was listed as funny though it was still a cartoon so she wasn't sure if he would want to watch it or not. She liked cartoons so it was hard for her to resist the temptation to click on them.
---
Klyde had just managed to roll over and onto his hands and knees before there was a quick boot to his side sending him rolling a few paces away. He was fast too....great. Aching side aside Klyde came to a rolling stop up on his hands and knees, crouched like he was ready to attack. The smarter thing would be to run off...but he hated to lose.
"You can try your best, Old Man, but you won't keep us apart. If Riyo wants me there I'll be there!" Leaping forward Klyde tried to speed up his actions, aiming another hit toward Jess' gut. While he wanted to win he knew time was short. No doubt the restaurant had called the police not wanting a fight outside their 'fine' establishment.
