[h2][color=#ff0000]Jibanyan[/color] – On The Street With Fuma[/h2]

[color=#ff0000]"Melon? Really, nyan?"[/color] Jibanyan's eyes were bright with joy. His forked tails perked up with curiosity and the blue flames that ignited their tip glowed slightly brighter as if to reflect the Youkai's pride in having found the seeds of edible fruit. Seeing Fuma's face alight with happiness and nostalgia reminded him of the days where he tried to please his huamn friends and he couldn’t help but feel slightly giddy. [color=#ff0000]"Of course nyot, nyan! You can take them all, nyan!"[/color] he replied eagerly. The melon seeds would be of more use to Fuma than they did to him. Besides, Jibanyan didn't consider himself to be skilled in gardening anyway, so, all in all, it was a perfect arrangement.

Fuma then brought up the topic of meat. Come to think of it, he did catch the scent of cooked meat wafting through the air, but he had dismissed it as the smell of another person's cooking. He was now curious as to who was cooking said meat in the early hours of the morning and, on that note, Jibanyan could use a warm meal to start the day. [color=#ff0000]"I don't know, nyan,"[/color] Jibanyan replied with a confused look and a tilted head, now wondering where the scent came from. [color=#ff0000]"Maybe it's from the Sheriff's Office, nyan? Sans does love to cook, nyan! Should we go and check it out, nyan?"[/color] Jibanyan was being honest in his observation of Sans' love for cooking. Whether or not the food was safe for consumption, on the other hand, was a different matter entirely, but the cat Youkai thought that should be saved for a more appropriate conversation.

[color=#ff3333]"Eh, nothing much, just taking a walk. Figured that I should hang around and see if everyone's awake since I'm up and all,"[/color] Jinx replied with a light shrug, Kuro and Shiro rejoining the redhead. [color=#ff3333]"Kinda hard to stay asleep when King Prideboor is busy walloping the door. Next time, I'll let Kuro answer the door instead,"[/color] she added with a muted grumble. Taking a deep breath, she turned to Amethyst and asked her, [color=#ff3333]"I assume he invited you too?"[/color] She then leaned against the wall with Kuro on her head, the latter chattering softly while looking down at her. In response, Jinx frowned and shook her head.

[color=#ff3333]"I can’t. If I do that, I won't hear the end of it from Sheriff Serif,"[/color] she replied to whatever Kuro was saying before the latter 'spoke up' again, but her next words seemed to clear things up. [color=#ff3333]"Yeah, I know it would be fun to glue his gold armor together, but that would only make him more annoying!"[/color] Jinx protested. Shiro opened her mouth, but before she could utter a word, Jinx raised a finger and quickly said, [color=#ff3333]"No, Shiro. We’re not using him as forest bait again. Last time we tried doing that, Sans gave me a timeout."[/color] 

Jinx had first thought of Sans as a bone with too much zeal and too little common sense, but she had learned that he apparently had the clear foresight to keep her away from her familiars whenever he imposed his bone jail timeout and zapping him only lenghtened her timeout time. With a dejected chirp, Shiro flew towards Amethyst and rested on top of her head since Jinx's was currently occupied. [color=#ff3333]"Amethyst, remind me why we let can-o-gold be our leader."[/color] While Jinx knew that Amethyst didn't think too highly of Pridemoor, she was honestly impressed by her ability to tolerate him to a far greater extent than she did.
