[u][h1][color=a187be]Kukiko Fujiwara[/color][/h1][/u] [color=a187be]"You sure as hell are late."[/color] Chiba and her companion would hear from nearby. Close by, on the side of the path leading to the hotel, was a bench and on that bench laid a woman mostly clad in ample black cloths and a modified version of the school's skirt as well as leggings underneath, slightly teared here and there. With a lazy grunt, she sat up and looked in Chiba's direction, stretching. [color=a187be]"I have been laying here for hours..."[/color] she said with a lazy tone. [color=firebrick]"We been here for all of ten minutes, you lazy idiot!"[/color] The voice came from Kukiko's waist as the Obi around her unfolded just enough to raise one tip of it towards her. [color=a187be]"Shush, Obi."[/color] the girl answered, pulling on the garment and forcedly tuck it back onto itself. [color=firebrick]"An' give me a proper name you damn witch. Hey, sto--"[/color] the muffled voice of Obi could be heard as Kukiko forced him back into being wrapped around her waist, sighing. [color=a187be]"...Tsk, what a pain. As If I asked to be a Hunter."[/color] In truth, Kukiko had arrived indeed only a few minutes before Chiba, who was well placed to know just how unreliable Kukiko was with time and meet-ups in general, so it was a surprise for sure that the black-haired hunter was here at all. The two of them had worked together at Chiba's work place before, but Kukiko was promptly fire for not being on time - if she showed up at all, that is. Despite this, the two hunted together before on a few occasions but Kukiko being Kukiko, her showing up even for hunts was hit or miss. It always depended on how she felt at that time or if something else caught her attention. Or if she fell asleep... [color=a187be]"So...do you have anyone else showing up? Because otherwise this feels like it'll be a pain..."[/color] As she said this, Kukiko walked up closer to Chiba and lowered her head closer to Bunbuku, the teal kettle, to better observe it. [color=a187be]"Hey there, Bunbuku-kun. Still the little optimist, I see?"[/color] she said with a smirk as her gave the kettle a little tap on the 'head'. She then turned towards the hotel, folded her arms and threw her hip to the side as she tilted her head towards Chiba. [color=a187be]"So?"[/color]
