Ryuu Kojima
Near the back, something caused some boxes to tumble. Peeking out from behind, an adorable twelve year old hybrid yawned and rubbed his eyes tiredly. Looking at the mess he accidentally created, he pouted and glared at the offending objects. A quick glance to the right proved the shop keeper was watching him. With a sigh and a flick of his striped tan ear, he bent down and quickly righted the boxes. Then he deftly climbed on them and somersaulted back into his makeshift haven. However when he landed on the floor and turned around, he saw through the cracks of the fragile barrier his stuffed bunny on the other side, forgotten in the midst of his tedious task.
Ryuu quickly clambered up the boxes again and jumped onto the other side. While retrieving the toy, the shopkeeper smirked and gave a teasing chuckle. "It's really hard to believe your a hybrid tiger sometimes. You can be so... cute. Honestly, the only indications of your species are your ears and tail, and even those are brown colored rather than the usual orange or white." At the keeper's voice Ryuu stiffened and flattened his ears. He didn't trust that man at all, even if he was a little nice to him from time to time.
Seeing as he couldn't go to sleep anymore, Ryuu took a checker set from a nearby closet and decided to play against his stuffed bunny. He set up the game in a corner where he wouldn't necessarily be noticed, but could keep an eye on what went on in the shop. Also for some reason, he kept loosing to his favorite toy.
