[quote=Axel] Her face grew ever more with happiness after being hugged by her precious little Hozumi. She was glad that he remembered her but he didn't look as happy as she expected him to be. "Something the matter Hozu-pooh?" Minari asked curiously, trying to figure out what was troubling him. Hozu lifted his head so it was face hers, revealing the fire burning in his eyes before speaking. "I wanna go where mommy and Fumio is at!!!" She couldn't help but show a surprised look on her face after hearing those words. "Hmmm....it's a bit dangerous where they are at. You're too young to go where they are at today but how about we visit uncle Rinkei for some training instead? That way you can show mommy how strong you've become once she gets back." [/quote] Hozumi shook his head multiple times "I don't wanna go see that weirdo! I wanna fight with mom" He said, dropping his head against her shoulder and hugging Minari. [b]"So you wish to fight?"[/b] A young girl's voice could be heard, echoing in the room. Lucy appeared as she deactivated Kyoko. She looked at Hozumi as he looked back up at her. [i][b]...this is your child huh...[/b][/i] She thought, waiting for his answer. Hozumi nodded once, slightly intimidated by the young maiden's reiatsu. [b]"Speak up when asked a question!"[/b] Hozumi straightened up "Y-yes ma'am!" Lucy smirked [i][b]Must hold myself back...from hugging him and his cuteness[/b][/i] [b]"Very well then. Come with me"[/b] Lucy said, holding her hand out to Hozumi. Hozumi released his hug around Minari and began to walk towards Lucy, reaching out for her hand.
