Beads of interest

A Trio of Foxes and the Dragon: Part One

(( Done on AIM with Orphy & Jay <3 ))

Tireu was in shock when he heard lots of giggling coming from the room to were he and Arlen had decided to display the beads that he had gotten from Switch. He thought he was hearing things as Arlen was currently out of the house probably running around and hunting or playing with his friends, he wasn't total sure. So he walked to the room to investigate the giggling and all the noise he was hearing now the closer he got to the room. Quietly opening the door to the room to spot not one kid but three of them wrestling with each other on the floor. Tireu stood in the door way in shock as he didn't know what to think and to why that item had to give him three kids instead of one like how he had gotten Arlen. His mind was racing to figure out what he was going to do as he was too shocked. Then Shizoku spotted that there was someone else in the room and decided to tackle him and have him play in there game and Tireu did get tackled by him and plopped to the floor still in shock.

Manami turned toward the man that had come into the room with her closed 'fox eyes' seeming to be able to see despite her eyes not opening at all. Her trio of tail set to wagging as she jumped down from the display area that the beads had been sitting, scattering the items that were around where she was perched, bounced a couple times, then jumped up to land on the man that Shizoku had already taken down and snuggled up against him, ears turned forward, tails wagging, and she pulled herself close to lick Tireu's cheek in what seemed to be her being affectionate.

Ama was slower than her siblings a bit more nervous being on the mantle pace now that she was alone. But seeing how much fun her sister and brother were happening she nimble jumped down and then scampered to follow in suit like the other two by pouncing the man and though Manami was licking his cheek and Shizoku tackle him she decided to chew on his ear . Such a small ear too.

Still a little shocked but did snapped out when he was snuggled, licked on and nibbled on and started to giggle a little as it sorta reminded him of home and how some of the young ones would greet him as he started to lose his concentration and started to shift as his tail wiggled on the floor and his horns started to appear. "That is enough if you keep doing this I just might squish ya all," he said to the triplets as he really wouldn't squish them he just wanted them to stop for now and to figure things out. Shizoku stopped snuggling Tireu and looked at him for. "So what is your name," he asked not really getting off the man as he started to watch Tireu tail move around. "I'm Tireu and you who are all three of you?" he asked not really knowing if they knew or he might have to give them names. "I'm Shizoku," he answered as he pounced the mans tail.

Manami lifted her head up when the man seemed to change a bit and her hands, with their perfectly manicured, orange colored claws reached out to grasp hold of his horns in a delighted manner, "Ohhh! My! Hes gotted da horns!" She said in an excited manner, giving a toothy gin as she tugged on it as though to make sure that it was in fact real and it was, "Really stucked!" Her tail set to wagging wildly. So cool!

Ama had been surprised at the horns and the tail though she only giggled at her sisters excitement finding there was no reason to be nervous about those. So she watched her brother pounce on the tail and thus went to butt her head against the man's chest. "Ama! Ima Amano! AMA!" She announced butting her head against him again before lifting her hands to paw at his chest.

He just had to giggle as one decided to pounce his tail and one tugging on his horns as he let out an oof as then he was headbutted in the chest by the last one. "Yes my horns are real as I truly don't look like this as I'm a dragon that shape changes to look more human." he state. "Well its nice to meet all of you, so what it your name little horn puller?" he asked Manami. "Also if you all get off of me I can get you something to eat if your hungry and then figure out were the three of you are going to stay," he asked as he was thinking on if all three of them would stay in one room or if they all wanted separate rooms. "Yes a snack would be wonderful," Shizoku stopped playing with the mans tail and stood up as he wanted to have a treat.

Manami tugged on them for a moment more before drawing back, "ImaManami!" She said, words slurring together in her excitement before she used her grasp on the horn as a hand hold and Ama for a step stool and she was able to scramble her way up onto his shoulder, "Da queen of da mountain!" She said, looking down upon her siblings in a regal manner, one tail wrapping around Tireu, wagging a bit and otherwise getting in the way as it brushed up against his face. The mention of snacks at her attention back on the man and her ever closed eyes seemed somehow to looked happy despite the fact that they hadn't changed at all, "I wanna snack!"

Ama watched as her sister climbed up on the man called Tireu and she made a hopping motion on all fours like an excited puppy before she copied her brother and stood up making grabby hands at the man wanting to be picked up so she could be as high as her sister."No fair no fair!" She chirped though with the attention span like a goldfish her ear flicked and then she decided to pounce her brother instead chewing on his ear happily."Snaaack snaaack." she sang between nommings.

Shizuko giggled as he was pounced by his sister as he then started play with her tail as he sang along with his sister as then he spotted his other sister up on the mans shoulder. "That is no far Manami," he pouted. Tireu just had to shake his head. "No pouting, I will picked all you up once I get to my feet." he said as he held onto Manami to make sure she didn't fall off as he stood. "Now you stay there Manami." he said to her as he reached down to pick up the other two. "So what type of snack do all of you want?" he asked. "Something sweet," Shizoku said as he wiggled in the mans arms.

Manami stuck her tongue out at the other two as she shifted herself so she was standing up on the man's shoulders, hands on his horns. Even as the others were picked up they still weren't as high up as her which made her the winner! Her tail started to move faster, teeth showing as she grinned in delight at her perch, "I wannawanna have some cookies!" As though the already excitable fox needed sugar.

Ama was happy to be picked up and she snuggled into the man's chest picking at his shirt with her claws before she looked up at him with wide eyes, what did she want to eat? Her brother wanted something sweet...her sister was more specific wanting cookies. "Haaaaaaaam! I want Ham!" she announced apparently the more carnivorous of the three.

Tireu did have to think for a little bit to mentally think to see if he had what the three of them wanted. But they were all in luck that he did have what they wanted. Tho he didn't really like ham all that much as he liked his meat just killed. But Arlen did like ham so he did buy it on occasions. So he took the three of them to the kitchen and took them to the table that was near by. "Ok all three of you sit here as I get what you want," he said as he put Shizoku and Ama down on to the chairs and then put his shoulder down to another chair for Manami to get down. "Ok Manami down you go," he said as he waited for her to get down on to the chair. Shizoku just stuck is tongue out at Manami as he would get her back for getting the higher spot as he then started to play with the rocks that were on the table.

Manami jumped from her perch onto the chair then stood up on it, hands resting on the table as she looked over at her siblings before she looked at Shizuko... and stuck her tongue out at him and a 'pbbbbt' sound with it before her attention turned over toward Ama to check on her as well. Only when she was happy with where they both were she sat down on her chair, tails wrapping around her waist and she tapped her hands against the table as she waited on the food to arrive.

Ama watched her brother and her sister stick tongues out at each other, she wanted to do it too...but neither were looking at her..so she found herself staring at Tireu and she bounced in her chair wanting him to come back so she could hug him and perhaps get to sit where Manami had sat on his shoulder. It looked like a very comfy spot to her. Her own tail wagged as she watched him move around before she found herself watching her sister tapping the table. She moved to do the same thing, mimicking her sibling.

Once Manami was off his shoulder he went back to the kitchen get what they wanted. First going to the refrigerator to get the ham out and cut a little plate full just in case the other wanted some ham as well, but he left it cold as he had seen Arlen eat it that way too and he didn't want any of them to burn there tongue eating to hot of ham. Then he went to the cabinets to get some different type of cookies those were the only sweets he had in the house. He thought that maybe later he could take them shopping to get the foods they like the most and to also see if they would eat meat like he did. Having gotten all that was requested and walked back to the table with different types of cookies and ham. Setting them on the table and then sat in the empty chair that was near Ama. "Eat all that you want and then we will figure out were you all want your rooms," he said and then Shizuko quickly grabbed the one of the packages of cookies that were chocolate mint and stated to happily eating them.

Manami gave a squealing sound of delight as she grabbed hold of a package of peanut butter cookies along with a handful of ham, perching on the edge of the table for a moment as she stuffed the ham into her mouth then stuck her tongue out at Ama, grinning deviously as she chewed then swallowed the stolen treat. As she swallowed down the stolen stuff she tore open the cookies and set to wolfing them down, barely chewing.

Ama had been reaching for the ham when her sister grabbed a rather large amount and shoved it into her own mouth. she looked upset by the way she was acting but only ..in a more determined fashion grabbed the plate of ham and possessively pulled it to herself and close to her body so that Manami couldn't steal anymore of it. If Shizuko asked for some she would give him a bit...but no more for her piggy sister! She stuck her tongue out at her and then went about eating the slices of ham cautiously/

Tireu just had to giggle as dinner time would be hectic when they were all there but he thought that Arlen would be the fastest to get what he wanted and then leave the rest for anyone else and if he didn't get too much to eat he would just go hunting later on in the night. "So do you all want your own rooms or do you three want to share a room?" he asked as after that was decided they could go shopping for things for there rooms. Shizuko just gave a shrug as he didn't care as he munched on the cookies more and then looked at the plate of ham that Ama was eating from and turned to her. "Can I have some ham, Ama?" he asked as he offered her a handful of his cookies.

Manami turned to look over toward Tireu as he asked them about their room and she tilted her head to one side in a thoughtful manner, "I... wannawanna havea room with Shizuko and Ama!" She said then her eyes went wide, "Oh! Oh! Can we camp with you!?" That would be fun! To sleep with the nice man with the cool horns, it would be the best way to stay warm since he was warm!

Choosing of Rooms: Part One

Manami looked around the area that they had gotten to before she slid down off of one of his arms like it was a fireman's pole, landed carefully, then raced off in an arbitrary direction to try to find the best of the best when it came to the rooms! She wanted to find an awesome room for herself... while a part of her wanted nothing more then to share a room with her siblings it looked like they wanted their own... which made her find the desire to do the same.

Ama watched carefully where Manami had sped off too, she then more carefully choose the opposite direction and was walking and sniffing along looking and seeing each spot in an inquisitive manner. If they shared rooms that was fine...but she wanted her own little special place to be alone. She wasn't finding it though and discouraged she came back to cling to Tireu's leg. Looking rather dejected at not having found a perfect hidey spot.

This wing was one of Tireu's favorite places as it had hidey holes were you least expect them. Well he did know were all of them were and to were all of the entrances to them all but he wasn't going to say anything as he wanted them to find them for themselves. Some of the rooms were just that rooms, but there were a few of them that were connected by corridors in the walls and secret doors to get to them. Shizuko watched the other two go off as he went at his own pace as he wandered around to find a room that was a descent size but part of the room was elevated and he thought that was cool and went in to clam the room for himself. Tireu felt someone clinging to his leg and looked down to see that Ama was back and dejected. He smiled and picked her up and took her to a weird wall that could be climbed. "Half way up the wall there is a door push it in and find out what it on the other side, Ama," he whispered to her.

There was a squealing sound from where Manami had gone and she poked her head out of the door to the large room she had decided had to be hers, "Manami will take this one!" She called out to Tireu, the room was perfect! It was big and it had a wonderful balcony passed double doors. It was lovely and with the right things to decorate it this would be the most perfect room ever! Here tail were swishing as she ducked back into the room, racing along to look at everything, hands brushing over the cold stone of the walls. So beautiful but sturdy at the same time, this was most certain the bestest room ever!

Ama cling to Tireu and then found herself being lifted up, she peered down at him as he showed her the secret climb and so then clung to the rock and quickly scampered up the wall and into the hidey spot. Pushing the door open slowly she found herself a small room. It wasn't large, but then again she didn't need a big spot. Just a small room with a bed to sleep in and a small desk and bookshelf to hide anything that meant a lot to her that she didn't want to share. It would do quite well. It was perfect. Climbing back out she poked her head in and smiled down at them all. "Found mine!"

Tireu smiled at them in finding there rooms, but he had a feeling that they all just might clam the whole wing once they figured out all the secrets to this wing. Which was fine by him as it would keep them out of his hair for a little. Hearing all that were claiming there rooms and made mental notes to where they were and all the secret places to get to them as he would need to furnish them all and he thought to make the largest room in the wing a common playroom for them. Then he could hear giggling coming from the ceiling and the moving of a 'fake' ceiling rock and a head popping out of it. "I found mind," Shizuko said still giggling and dust all over his face. "Ok now later on I will move in furniture inside all of your rooms but how about choosing some linens for the beds and rugs too," he said as he walked not to far from were he was standing to open a large closet that had all different types of things in it, but mostly linens.

Once Shizuko has spotted blue linens and he jumped out of the hole in the ceiling to Tireu and to the closet to clam the blue linens. "Mine," he said as he started to take them out and to his room.

TBC...

Meeting Ryuusei

(( Done via AIM with Orphy <3 ))

Shizuko was walking around the house to find another place that he could hide from his sisters. As Mana was being her usual self on being the boss. He didn't care most of the time but right now he just wanted to be by himself and both knew were his room was so it wasn't a good place to hide right now as he searched around the castle to find a nice hidey hole.

Ryuusei, wearing his little backpack that had his silver star as well as the scales and fluff from Tireu in it, was shuffling along away from the room he'd been napping in toward... well a random direction. This place was huge and he was a little lost but he felt as though he should be heading out. Tireu and Arlen were good people, very kind to him, and he felt a little like he should do something to repay their kindness but at the same time he was being pulled onward. The thing that he was missing... it was calling to him, he had to find it! First though he had to find his way out of his giant maze of a house that the amazing Tireu called his own.

Shizuko has found another long maze that was in the ceiling that was near the front of the castle. Then his ears perked as he could hear something that was walking just under to where he was walking. Searching quickly to see if he could find if one of the tiles would come up letting him see just who it was as he knew it couldn't be one of his sisters as he knew there footfalls very well. Finding to one that would come up he lifted it up as the tiles that can up always looked like stone but never were. Spotting the silver dragon and thought it was very cool!! He has heard Arlen talking about a sliver dragon with Tireu when he was spying on them. He need to have a closer look. So judging the distance from the ceiling to the floor he make a calculated jump from were he was on to the wall hanging and then on to the floor just in front of the silver dragon. "You are so cool looking!" he said as he looked the dragon over.

A squealing sound of shock and surprise escaped from Ryuusei and he shuffled back a few steps before he realized that the one in front of him was rather tiny and in no way intimidating... in fact the little one was very cute and very blue! He took a step forward, then another, and another before he as standing on front of Shizuko and he then lifted up onto his back feet, "Wow! You are small!" He chirped, sounding quite happy to find someone of a similar size to him at long last. Everyone he'd met thus far had been so much bigger then him!

Shizuko had to giggle at the reaction that he had gotten he loved it when he surprises people, not that he got his fill of trying to surprise his sisters. "Well I'm not that small," he retorted back, but smiled warmly. "But I know what you mean," he added as he didn't like to be called small as his tail swished behind him. "So where you heading?" Shi asked. "Also I be Shizuko," he added as he remembered his manners as his ears cocked forward and his wings gave a little flutter.

"Small in comparison... though still bigger then me..." If there was anything out there smaller then him he would be shocked though. He shifted closer to Shi, taking a couple steps forward on his back feet so his hands could rest on Shi, "Where? Going to find my 'missing something' though... I do not know how to leave here. This place, it so big!"

So this boy's name was Shizuko? It was a nice name and such pretty colors he thought to himself, eyes going wide at the sight of wings, "You have wings too?" He turned so that Shizuko could see his wings as well. They were small, light blue, and strangely not even attached to Ryuusei's back. Instead they sort of hovered over it. As the dragon stood there in one spot the gathering of rainbow stars started to get thicker, like a glittering cloud around him, "I am called Ryuusei." He told the smaller boy, remembering himself as well as his manners.

"Its nice to meet ya, Ryuusei!," he said as he found the little dragon interesting. "Well maybe the both of us will get bigger as we age," he said as his tail flicked. "Or at least that is what Tireu tell me and with age comes power too," he added as he did want to sound powerful as he could change himself into one of his sisters or his gender if he wanted to, but he wanted a little more power something different to what his sisters had. "I do in deed, but they are mostly for show," Shi said as he got a closer look at Ryuu wings and found that they were similar too as in just floating on his back. "Your wings are like mine!" he said as he turned around to let Ryuusei get a better look at them. "Ah lost things, I'm trying to find a hidey place for some of my things. But I can show you the way out if you want to head out,"

Ryuusei's tail swished in a happy manner. So he and Shizuko had the same kind of wings? That was so cool! He gave a happy sound as he squatted down, readying himself, then hopped up into the air and landed on his friend's shoulders. He climbed up a bit so he could get a better look at his Shizuko's ears and smiled, "You have pretty ears." Nobody he'd met so far had ears like this he thought to himself, tail wagging happily behind him.

Shi had to giggle more when Ryuusei had jumped up on to his shoulder. "Thanks, I can hear a lot sharper that Arlen can with them to sneak up on him," he said as he remembered the last time that he had snuck up on Arlen and scared the wits out of him as his tail wagged behind him. "Well I will take you to the entrance of the house to were you can find your lost thing,"

Ryuusei rested his hands on on top of Shizuko's head and then rest his head on top of them, "You can sneak up on Arlen? That is amazing." He murmured, sounding quite in awe. He'd seen Arlen himself, talked to him, and had seen how fast he was... that someone could sneak up on him, it was an feat that was quite awe inspiring to the little dragon. His tail set to wagging, so quickly that the star at the end became nothing but a blue colored blur.

"Oh! You will help me to find the entrance? That is very nice, Shizuko." He complimented the boy with the fluffy ears.

"I can as long as I don't make any noises, tho I'm not too successful in doing it but now and then I can get him," Shi replied as he remembered all the failed attempts. "Yep as one can't hinder another when they are looking for something," he said as he still needed to find a place to keep his treasures from his sisters as well. Shizuko giggles as he walked to the entrance as it wasn't too far if he could remember to were it was. As Tireu love to make his home confusing at keeping the enemies from finding to were he was, but he was learning from trial and error to were things were. After a few dead ends Shi got Ryuu to the entrance of the castle. "Well here we are," he said as he opened the door.

Ryuusei happily rode along on his new friend's shoulders, moving through the incredible castle, "You have a wonderful home." He murmured to Shizuko. It was odd, he found himself wondering why he didn't have parents, why he didn't have siblings... so far everyone he'd met but Mrrh had them. He wondered if there was something wrong with the two of them that made them so they couldn't have families he wondered, for a moment saddening a little. He closed his eyes for a moment before he shook the heavy feeling off, not liking it in the least. There was nothing wrong with Mrrh, nothing wrong with Ryuu himself so there was no reason to worry that there was he decided before he looked toward the entrance as they reached it.

The little dragon hopped down before he turned to looking up at Shizuko, giving him a smile, "I will find my 'missing something' and I thank you for your help in getting this far. If there is anything that I can do for you?" He couldn't tell people about his power, it didn't work that way. He could only given them a star when they asked for something he was able to give to them. He sat down, watching Shizuko for a moment to see if he were to ask for anything before he headed out.

Shizoku thought for a second to what Ryuu could do for him and he thought of it. "Well why don't you come back here once you have found your 'missing something' to were we can do more with each other. As we are friends now," he said with a large smile on his face. As he reached into his kimono sleeve and brought out a few little candy bars and put them in front of Ryuu. "Just in case you get hungry looking and..." he said as he paused to took out a little bit of his fur and also handed that to Ryuusei. "But do be careful on your travels I do look forward to seeing you again,"

He gave a little smile as the candy was handed to him, it was quickly added to the other items that he had in his backpack, "Thank you, Shizuko." He murmured, stepping in closer to nuzzle against the kitsune's hands before he turned and trotted forward. He paused for a moment and looked over his shoulder at Shizuko, "Can you tell Tireu and Arlen 'Thank you for everything' for me? They were very kind in feeding me and letting me stay here for a time." He gave a smile then trotted on his way.

Shizoku purred as he got a nuzzle from Ryuu as it was very cute and it made him very happy. "I can do that and be safe," he called back as he was smiling with his tail wagging. He wave good-bye to his friend and waited for Ryuu to be out of site before he closed the door and when back to looking for what he was looking for.
