Kyoko had planned for the trip to the mall to be at least semi-peaceful...She should have known better with Anbu along. But she was still a little too naive for her own good at times. As of now, she was being lead/dragged along by Anbu (who she had made leave the ball at home). She swore its darting about with her in tow was vengeance for making it leave the 'Ball of Doom', as Kyoko had dubbed it, at home. But, she just sighed and followed. They'd eventually make their way to the music store she wanted to hit at some time during this escapade.
Thank gods they didn't have a playplace at this mall. Anbu would have been there in a heartbeat, terrorizing the other children as it did best.

Degas wandered the mall alone mumbling to himself about foxes being poor parents in general to abandon thier children with some money and a bus map. He had only just arrived at the mall and was currently looking for a place to change a few bills into quarters for the arcade.
There were lots of people in the mall and it was crowded. The scent stuck his hands in his pockets and started to plow through the crowd keeping his head down. He bumped rather roughly into someone wearing a mask and a young girl. "Watch it!" He snapped before frowning at his behavior and saying "I'm sorry, that was my fault."

Kyoko had been minding her own business, watching the places passed a bit absentmindedly before she and Anbu ran into someone else. The Scent would have gone off at the 'offender' if Kyoko hadn't brandished the harisen she carried with her. That gained her a glare and raspberry from the clown child. She looked at the person they had run into...and promptly hugged the child.
"YOU'RE GREEN! How did you convince your parents to let you dye your hair that!? 'Tou-chan wouldn't let me do anything to mine until a year ago!" Anbu watched on uninterestedly until it noticed just who it was looking at.
"Oh. It's you! Did you have fun last time we met?" The question sounded like more of a threat, but seemed to go unnoticed by its ecstatic guardian.

Degas stared at Kyoko a little baffled by her behavior. Was it that odd to see someone who was green he wondered to himself. "Ah...yes, I'm green. I was born that way. Um. I didn't do anything to it but I doubt anything would care. Might I ask who you are?" He mumbled looking at the womanl. "Ummm. I'm Degas and it's- AHHHH IT'S YOU!!!!!"
Just then the wormwood scented boy noticed Kyoko's companion...THAT monster from only a few nights ago. He immediately tried to duck behind Kyoko. "Becareful! He's dangerous and doesn't care who gets hurt!"

Kyoko blinked. Born that way? How strange...but cool! "Sorry, I love green!" She looked down at her green tank top, black cargo pants with green piping and stitching, green elbow length fingerless gloves, and black combat boots with green laces. "If it isn't obvious..." She was going to give her name when he screeched and hid behind her. She blinked, then looked at Anbu.
"Oh it...Yeah, it can be quite the little troublemaker. Kinda why I agreed to look after Anbu. Someone has to keep the child in line. By the way, Degas, I'm Kyoko!" She then glared at Anbu. "Now...What did you do to this poor child!" Anbu just smiled.
"I just played with him. He didn't much like going for a ride though. Quite insulting, really." Kyoko groaned and rolled her eyes. There were some days...

Degas would have liked to take time to really appreciate the clothing that Kyoko was wearing unfortunately he knew better than to take his eyes off the monster who lacked his ball.
"You did more than play with me. You were swinging me around like I was a doll." He snarled from behind Kyoko. He refused to step out from behind her. "He's a monster!"

Kyoko glared at Anbu while it just smiled innocently.
"Well, that's all people are. Living dolls who play their own roles in this strange show." Kyoko sighed. Yup. There goes the semi-quiet day. She looked at Degas, smiling.
"It can be the little monster, yes. I'm quite aware of that considering it damn near pelted me with something at the Masquerade. Still have no clue what it was. But I'll make sure it doesn't hurt you now." Anbu rolled its eyes.
"And how do you propo-" THWACK! "OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Kyoko just looked smug as she tapped the large paper fan she carried.
"That, my dear child, was for trying to escape punishment for what you have done before. I decided to be nice and have your karma bite you now, rather than later."

Degas made a face at Anbu not being fond of the monster's little idea. "You're a jerk!" He hissed angrily. "People are not dolls and no one is here for you or you're amusement!"
It was rather satisfying to see the scent get wacked into submission a moment later.
"So um. It's very very nice to meet you Miss Kyoko. I'm sorry that you have to deal with that creature but....you do seem to have it in hand. I'm headed to the game arcade at the moment."

Anbu was now getting quite annoyed, but like the mask on its face, it didn't let its face change as it nursed it's head. "It's a matter of opinion, to be honest." Kyoko sighed. She was definitely going to be having a long day...
She looked to Degas again. "No worries, Degas. I figured someone has to keep it in line." She grinned and tousled the boy's hair. "You're so cute! Y-Huh?" Her nose had finally caught the faint smell coming from the boy. "That's an interesting smell...Your parents let you wear perfume?"

For a moment she had lost Degas. "Aaah?" He gave her a blank look for her trouble then shook his head free from her grasp. "Oh....wait! You mean my natural scent. Yes. I smell like wormwood. Wormwood is used mainly in the production of absinthe. Um,I'm like him but not evil." the green boy mumbled embarassed he had gotten on another tangent. "It's not perfume though." He pouted a bit. "Perfume is for women. Men wear cologne and I'm a boy!"

Another kid who had a strange smell? She thought for a moment, then remembered something Esme had told her in distress a couple weeks ago. Esme had said she'd seen Anbu's strange 'birth'..."Oh! So you were born from an oil too!" Anbu tapped a foot, crossing its arms. It was starting to grow impatient.
"Can we go..." Kyoko nodded.
"Sure...Hey! Why don't we all go to the arcade? Anbu likes games, and it will certainly keep it entertained."

"Yes, I came from oil." Degas muttered half in thought to himself and asking a question. When Kyoko suggested that they go Degas grinned. "Sure! I'm into the DDR game there. It takes a lot of energy to play that game but also the songs are very fun." He headed towards gaming arcade skipping and humming to himself.

Kyoko grinned and followed Degas, Anbu a bit confused as they walked.
"What is this...arcade?" Kyoko ruffled Anbu's hair, which obviously annoyed the Scent.
"It's where a large amount of video games are for public entertainment...for a price." That had Anbu smiling again. It adored the few video games Kyoko and her father had in their apartment. "And you're right, Degas. DDR is fun! Tiring...but fun!"

Degas stopped in front of the arcade and looked back at the pair. "So Um....So? can it dance? Or is it all bounce and no dance?" A rare competitive streak showed it'self in the boy as he looked at Anbu. 'Maybe this is something where I'll have a leg up on him!' he thought to himself.

Kyoko looked at Anbu, who just shrugged. That was when it was Kyoko's turn for a scheming grin.
"Guess what Anbu...You get to learn." The Scent tried to sidestep its mother's hand as she grabbed it by the ruff. "Let's find out, shall we?" She pulled out a few pieces and headed over to the token machine, dragging a now very grouchy Anbu.
