#poor shakko

Ziz immediately enterlaced her fingers with Seishin's and patted the weepy pixie softly with her other hand, "That great beeeheeehheeaslty shuck with the red eeeeeeyes," Puck cried.

Ingall's eyes shifted to Jacob's. Not used to hearing the boy sound so unsure, or young for that matter, said eyes widened as they took in the boy's change in appearance as well as the wolf pup in his arms. The pup was doing his level best not to call attention to himself.

"cian?" Seishin guessed in surprise, relief from the comfort of their twinning fingers helped ease his aching skull.

Byakko was the first to run over to him with a startled laugh "Y-you're barely bigger than me Jacob!" her eyes drifted to the puppy and she cooed petting it's head as the boy grimaced at her observation with a groaned "I know."

As the other followed suit walking over, Save Tum whom Kit took in her arms "D-did your mama and Mr Wulf have a baby?" Bya asked after a moment of pets a bit confused, she could smell the magic on the pup. "Maybe he's like Roko?" Reiko offered crouching down to look at the two.

"Wha' happened Jake?" The eldest asked a bit weirded out seeing his friend look so young. Jacob exhaled "It's complicated but some stuff happened and Ms Laurel's spell kinda went wrong."

[moonlight-puppet]

"She was pushing herself a little, but nothing dangerous. It's probably my fault she didn't stop, learning my bad habits but I think she was just a little excited." Kit assured looked worried but not for the reason why Moonlight thought.

For her part Reiko looked surprised that their play had been cut short just when she was working up a good sweat and getting closer to winning her 'game'.

Poor Bya on the other hand... looked utterly devastated. Ears fallen, tail limp, and her glassy eyes were wide with shock. She got a C. Worse Mr. Cotton looked so disappointed in her. She just wanted to show how hard she'd been practicing. Her lower lip trembled as she bowed her head to try not to cry in front of everyone.

Meanwhile on the other side of the room Magica was watching Frisk and Shakko with curiosity and fascination as the two brainstorm.

"Who would have thought the drop of creation would grow into all this."

"Drop of creation?" Sans asked he was sitting next to the goddess of magic because his daughters wanted to play with Touma and Robin.

"Yes. I was thinking about how I could help the people of our world advance. So I shed a tear and let it fall to the world and that tear became rain and that rain washed over the world blessing people with magic. I didn't think it would evolve into this alchemy."

Sans was surprised by this,"Wait so you didn't create alchemy?"

"No that goes to you. I don't have the ability to recreate things into something else. I can't use alchemy as much as I would like to I can't use it."

Magica looked at the two alchemist and smiled,"People are very fascinating and mysterious. To do things not even the gods can do..... What wonderful beings you are."

"You still bite," he countered playfully, beofre his smile turned into a thing of awkward beauty as he saw Shakko. Agni had absolutely no idea how the young tod felt about him. Despite Kit and Ingall's reassurances, if the other redheaded male wanted him gone from family time, they'd mistake the young wolf for Kuko with the speed at which he'd disappear.

"I dare so with loving caution," he chuckled, "Maybe in a few days, we should invite them over for dinner so the poor girl doesn't think you're out for her head. I know I had to fight looking over my shoulder for blasters when Tum-Tum called me Papa Gall in front of Tamashii."

The red heads attention as taken from his double for his actual female other half who instead of greeting him huffed and walked past tugging Agni with her.

"Aw c'mon Reiko. Ya can't still be sore at me." Shakko groaned following them with Bya close behind.

Would lamb chops be on the menu? Kit thought snarkily before letting out an exhale, "You have a point." and she hated it.

[kits-shrine]

Ingall cursed a blue streak as Shakko’s headbutt missed his forehead and hit him square in the nose. His eyes watered as blood poured from his poor, abused sniffer. But he was more worried about his son than himself, “Good lord Shakko, that’s certainly one way to use your head. Are you alright?” he tried to check the boy’s forehead, but he wasn't sure whose blood was whose.

He heard his phone chime, and with another curse, he hastily pulled it out, eyes still watering too much to read, so he called instead, “Kit?” he asked quite nasally, “is everything alright?”

Shakko was rubbing his head with muttered curses of his own.

There was a pause on Kit's end "Well it certainly is on my end, is everything ok there?"

[kits-shrine]

Ingall turned to look at the young man, “If Ginko hadn't woken up, we likely killed each other or, at the very least, been grievously injured. Kuko is extremely lucky Ginko was able to bring his back, I’m not excusing his actions by any means, but he wasn't sane at the time,” he reached over and squeezed Shakko’s shoulder.

“I can’t dictate you're feeling, but for what it’s worth, I do still count him as kin. Loving someone and still wanting to kick their tail for making poor decisions is very possible. And showing them that love despite their mistake can be more effective than trying to beat sense into their skull.”

Shakko took a deep breath before sinking down under the water with a long exhale that turned into loud bubbles once he was submerged.

Once they were done he reemerged rubbing at his face "Why's he make it so hard?" his voice cracked a bit.

[kits-shrine]

“Tamashii wasn't very forthcoming,” she frowned a bit, “but he did pop over when I asked. I doubt he’d of left his side if he was in truly poor shape.”

Wulf smiled back at the little human woman, who’d wormed her way into his heart along with her son.

"That is true. Unless something happened to Touma I doubt Tamashii would voluntarily leave Seishin's side if he was too bad off." Kagu sighed in relief.

Her attention was snagged by her son and she immediately called out in a voice that had all the children freezing "Don't jump on the couch!"

Jacob flushed immediately jumping down with Shakko hot on his heels "Sorry." "Sorry."

[kits-shrine]

Reena frowned, ears pulled down. "Poor Bya..." She growled to herself. "I should've said something sooner instead of hesitating one minute."

Shakko snarled "At least you heard her!" He gripped at his ears harshly " 'm supposed ta keep her safe!"

[kits-shrine]

"Poor little thing." Mark and Lumia had a small sympathetic frown, and Mark wanted to ask, "what happened?"

"WELL... AFTER A HEALTH SCARE WITH CELINE YEW CAME HOME WITH HER LITTLE HUMAN FRIEND THAT LIVES ON THE MOUTAIN. THEY WERE HAVING A CAMPING SLEEP OVER AND SOME NOT SO NICE HUMANS CAME AND TRIED TO TAKE HER FRIEND." Yurei frowned deeply. "YEW STOPPED THEM AND HER FRIEND IS ALRIGHT BUT IT DID TAKE A LOT OUT OF HER AND THE HUMANS RESPONSIBLE GOT AWAY."

Shakko frowned "Is that what happened? Man mom knew something went down but I can't believe it was something like that."

[moonlight-puppet]

"Aw poor thing. I can imagine." Kit said sympathetically. Byakko peeked out "Is there something we can do for her? To make her feel better?" she asked quietly. "Yeah! It's gotta be boring laying in bed all day. I could give her one of my motion toys, they're real fun to watch and ya can make um move in different patterns." Shakko offered eagerly diving over to his tinker box riffling around for said toy.

Sans chuckled, "It's okay kiddo she's anything but bored. She's been playing on her laptop and she's really into some magical girl animes."

"Meaning she wants to see if she could bring some of items they use to real life," Moon said warmly.

[kits-shrine]

"Yes! We don't have Fox monsters in my Au. The only fox I've seen were the ones in the forest." Moon began to think of the red fox near Muffins bakery.

“Oooooh.” Byakko giggled.

“I’d say I was surprised but there’s not many of us here either apparently.” Kit gently pet her youngest’s hair. “There were no others locked in the Underground, least that I know of.” she shuddered. Poor things if there had been any they would have been driven mad at being trapped Underground.

Shakko looked up from his chocolately mess, putting the chucks into the still hot cup of milk making it even chocolatey more. “But ya at least have foxes there?”

[moonlight-puppet]

"Ooooh~" Byakko wiggled her way down to run over to the cute confections. "Thanks Moonlight!" Shakkos tail thumped. They both looked up in surprise at the condition she set for the brothers. "Oh yeah course they can! Right Bya?" Shakko turned to her and she nodded shyly. "It-it was a little scary but it was still amazing to watch." Kit nodded in agreement. "Like I said Kitsune illusions are very different. We tend to focus on fun or trickery with it. This was very educational."

"I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself and the best thing about realistic illusions is everything returns to normal so no mess," Cotton said while eating a cream puff.

"Yeah remember when we were little and all the damage we did to Asgor's courtyard," Tech smiled while drinking some hot chocolate. "Yes father grounded us for a year because of that."

"Come on we weren't that bad."

"You nearly destroyed the castle and sent eight guards to the hospital not to mention the poor maids on duty had to go to the burn center," Moon said calmly sitting on the couch with Byakko on her lap.

"Nye~"

"Hehe...... Sorry."

[moonlight-puppet]

"Can we see?" Shakko asked eagerly. Byakko nodded enthusiastically "H-how do the rhythm games work?" Kit hid a giggle behind her hand.

"Maybe not today that i didn't prepare the music...."

Poor Cotton forgot to pack the music he felt like sitting in a corner.

"It's alright Cotton it will be a good lesson for next time."
