(Continued from Park: A Gentle Breeze)
Hachi, having turned his back to the kid and spent much of his attention on the Japanese Irises, didn't even realize the boy had bolted. He looked around, expecting to see Sasuke just behind his shoulder, and was truly surprised to not see him. Raising his eyebrows, he quickly scanned the shop and the windows outside, but saw no trace of the interesting boy.
Hachi sighed--too bad, I was looking forward to seeing what he could do with my garden... He shook his head and went back to look at the Irises. They had a rather good selection, a couple whites, a couple solid, dark blue-purples, several yellows, and then one that was purple with yellow interior. He looked at the multicolor one, considered it, and took a look at its price tag.
He breathed in through gritted teeth. It wasn't as if he had unlimited funds. In fact, it wasn't like he had... much of any funds. And so even a little bit of money was rather a hefty burden.
He fished out his wallet and fingered through the contents, counting his economic worth: enough. He could realistically get any flowers he wanted, and then still have enough for the landscaping he planned for the new garden. And he would need some nice stones, some Koi, and some Japanese Water Lillies, of course. It was going to be a true sight to see.
He picked up some Irises, some Quinces, and some Azaleas, not able to locate the Water Lillies he really wanted. Ringing up the cost was painful, having to part with such a heavy fraction of his wealth. Why flowers cost this kinda money did not make much sense to Hachi, Were they trying to -prevent- people from wanting gardens or something?
He walked out the store with a great deal of flowers, and a great inability to carry all of them. He probably should have thought of this ahead of time. He looked at the flowers hopelessly, then looked off in the distance toward the warehouse...it was a LONG ways away.
He drooped his shoulders and let loose a small sigh, deciding to try for some friendly, local aid.

Suyu Nadeshiko was just wandering out of the park when she noticed the -incredibly- visible fat, green-suited man at the doors of the flower nursery, with a great bunch of flowers surrounding him. He wore a face of evident distress.
She smiled to herself and, seeing from his great wealth of floral packages, assumed he was a rich man. She was in need of a little economic boost...
Skipping over to Hachi, with a Girlishly innocent face-of-dimples, she stopped right in front of him, bending over and looking at the beautiful flowers he had purchased.
[pink]"Wooooooow Mister! That's a lot of flowers! You must be -loaded!-"[/pink]
Hachi wasn't exactly sure what to do here. He looked at the girl nervously, not sure if she would actually be the type who would willingly help him move all these flowers to his soon-to-be-renovated garden.
[green]"--Umm... L-loaded?"[/green] He looked down at the packages of flowers around him. [green]"If you mean I look over-encumbered then you're right!"[/green] He smiled at her, a couple beads of sweat covering his brow.
Suyu looked at the man strangely, not sure if he was serious about not understanding what she had just said. [pink]"Uhh, no. I meant that you must be rich!"[/pink]
[green]"W-Wha--?!"[/green]
[maroon]"Oh sir! Would you like some help with those?"[/maroon]
Hachi turned around to see a brown haired girl, also petite, but with a far more genuine countenance. She seemed to be the truly friendly type.
[green]"Oh yes! I would--"[/green] He felt a touch on his pocket--light, hardly noticeable, but he had a sharp mind. [green]"LOVE to not be robbed"[/green] He turned around on his heel and saw Suyu, already six feet away and with his wallet in her hands.
[pink]"Gee mister, is this all you got?"[/pink] She pulled out a small handful of bills and looked at him pathetically. Then she smiled and squinted her eyes devilishly. [pink]"Well! It'll at least get me through a couple meals, yeah?"[/pink] She turned around and started skipping away at a very brisk pace.
Hachi raised his hand and muttered [green]"Sai,"[/green] using a simple, hardly noticeable Bakudou on the little girl. He really didn't want to hurt her, but he also really wanted his money--
[pink]"Oooooh! What's this?![/pink] Suyu's hands had been pulled behind her by an invisible hand and held there, immobilizing her. She smiled, feeling the warm tingle of rei around her wrists. She quickly put a little energy into the bond and broke it, turning around and pointing a finger at Hachi. [pink]"I SAW THAT YOU!"[/pink]
Hachi stared with wide-eyes as she easily broke out of the simple bakudou. [green]She has spiritual power?[/green]
[maroon]"Oooh! You used a bakudou! So you're a shinigami like me?!"[/maroon] Aeria chimed, smiling greatly as she made this discovery.
Hachi turned around, looking at the girl. [green]"Sh-Shinigami...?"[/green] [green]Was this an ambush or something?[/green]
He then felt a tap on his shoulder. [pink]"That was a kidou, wasn't it?! I've always wanted to see one of those in action! Do it again Mister!!"[/pink]
[red]"Sis! Are you seeing this?!"[/red] Puta pointed at the scene in front of them and pulled at her twin sister Fulana's sleeve, giggling to herself. [red]"That fat man just used a kidou!! And that girl just said she was a shinigami! We've never met them before! Let's go talk to them!!"[/red]
Fulana turned around and looked with interest as Puta described the scene to her. [purple]"I'm seeing it! I'm seeing it! Let's explore!!"[/purple]
Hachi was getting tired from turning around so many times. You could only ask so much out of a whale like him, after all. He held his hands out to the side of his body and said [green]"Ok! Everyone CALM DOWN!"[/green] A burst of energy flowed out of his body, like a small shockwave centered on Hachi. It blew the skirts up on all the girls' skirts, causing them to punch them down with their fists, Aeria blushing and the others giggling. [green]"Can I just get some help here? Is that too much to ask??"[/green]
There was a moment of silence, where Suyu stopped poking him, Aeria blushed more, looking at her feet, and the twins stopping in their tracks, looking at him with an even further elevated interest, as well as the rest, who reacted so strangely to the kidou use.
[red]"You're FAT!"[/red] Puta sonidoed forward and poked his belly, bending down on her knees and giggling. Fulana came behind her sister and slapped the back of her neck. [red]"Owww! What was that for?!"[/red]
[purple]"THAT was for your being obnoxious!"[/purple] Fulana stuck her tongue out at her sister. Puta stood up and confronted her, giggling.
[red]"Oh! So now you're trying to act like the big, mature sis eh? We're twins!"[/red] she thwapped her sister with her first two fingers on Fulana's forehead, creating a distinct, thwapping sound in the silence the proceeded.
[maroon]"Umm... I'll help you sir..."[/maroon] Aeria spoke, twisting her left toe into the dirt-speckled road.
[pink]"Me too! You're interesting!"[/pink] Suyu chimed in. [pink]"Oh! And here's your money back! Sorrrrrry about that!!!"[/pink] She picked up a couple of flowers.
Fulana and Puta looked at eachother, seemingly in silence, but obviously speaking through their eyes and their sisterly-connection. All of a sudden, the two jumped and high-fived each other, landing both facing Hachi. [red]"Us--"[/red] [purple]"--too!"[/purple]
Hachi breathed, finally putting his hands back down at his sides. Somehow order had returned to the chaotic bunch--for the time being at least.
He distributed the flowers to the girls, making sure to not give any one of them too many at once. They all ended up carrying a pretty light load.
[red]"Soo where to fatty?!"[/red] Fulana smacked her sister again. [purple]"Yeah, where?"[/purple]
Hachi tried to smile, not completely capable of being comfortable in this situation: there were too many unknowns about each of these girls. Spies? Friends? Enemies? He had no idea. Oh well, he figured if worst came to worst, he could hold them all still for a while and manage to get some aid from his partners.
Hachi pointed down the road. [green]"To my place. Follow me if you will--all of you."[/green].
What a group he had collected...
Hachi, having turned his back to the kid and spent much of his attention on the Japanese Irises, didn't even realize the boy had bolted. He looked around, expecting to see Sasuke just behind his shoulder, and was truly surprised to not see him.
