Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kakuei walked in the bookstore and inhaled the smell of books and a new day with a very broad smile on his face as she looked around, glad to have another day to work in his shop. Everything was peaceful for now in the city and because of that, there haven't been any suspicious things for him to examine or anything for him to do in his second job, which he found vexing and annoying. As he walked in, Kakuei threw his bag on a high shelf so that no one could get it and found his place in the cash register after pulling out some random book that was in a random bookshelf that he himself had access to read because he was the Manager. As he sat down in his spot, he was finally able to get a good look of the book itself called : Silent Husband by : Unknown. Odd book. In the cover, it showed a woman wearing a white dress, one for marriage purposes and next to her was a shadow of a man. A shadow itself and nothing more. Kakuei would read the back, but he hated spoiling himself and would only read the front as he flipped to the front page, getting lost after the words : " He was gone from my mind forever . . . " and so on. Knowing that he would get lost in the book, Kakuei had already opened the door in the front and he himself installed a bell so that he knew when a customer would come so that he would wake up when it rang. But right now, he was in his own little world of the Realistic book, following a story of a woman who married the fake for a husband as well as the fake being asked by the true husband to marry the woman he did not love anymore. As Kakuei read this, he looked quite feminine as he was sitting in that chair with his right elbow on the table and his right hand on his cheek with the book in his left hand. He could have easily been taken as a woman, which happened regularly everyday---------which also made him mad knowing that he was a man.

Kakuei heard the chime of the bell---surprisingly and looked up to find a a boy----no----a girl, coming into his store. Out of politeness, he introduced her, a smile that made him look even more feminine as he was at the moment and then picked up his book again to start reading. Some hair had gotten into his eyes and he soon moved it away, silently thinking that maybe he should get a haircut. But, he loved his hair now, not too long, not too short, and not to revealing when she had gone out to do missions for the Shimizu. Speaking of which, he had wondered if they had needed him now. . .No matter. Kakuei then looked through his book and glanced up once or twice at his one customer who seemed to be stumped at making a choice. From looking at her eyes, this girl was saddened, maybe because her book wasn't there? Or was it she couldn't afford the book? Hoping to help her, Kakuei stood up from his throne that his the chair in front of the cash register and made his way up to her asking, "Would you like some help?"
