He was stretched out in his rental car. He had arrived in the UK late the night before and was exhausted. Jacob sat across from him, letting Kenji drape his legs over his own. "Why don't you call him father when you talk to him?" Jacob asked softly, hoping to get something out of Kenji. Kenji shot him a look, muttering under his breath, "You know why..." Kenji didn't meet Jacob's eyes as Jacob whispered even more softly, "Why don't you say you love him back?"
Kenji ignored the question, instead, grabbing his backpack and his bag out of the back of the car, then heading for the train station. Kenji would be going to pick up the car soon enough, drive it back to the airport, turn it in, and hop on a flight back to the States, all within a day. His father had arranged it, the car and getting over to England that is. Kenji left the keys in the car, knowing he could just unlock the car when he got back to it with some strong winds in the lock.
"Come on Kenji, you can't just shut it out forever" Jacob says, rubbing Kenji's back like his adoptive mother used to. Kenji shrugged it off and Jacob fell into silence, knowing Kenji was starting to fall into a depressed state. "A later time then," Jacob says understandingly as he opened the door for Kenji.
"You know you shouldn't do that in public," Kenji muttered as he entered, nodding his thanks. "Helping you when you're not very happy is worth the odd looks you recieve," Jacob says with a wink as he lets the door close, taking his backpack he hadn't removed and hefting it higher on his own back. "That's because you aren't the one getting the odd looks," Kenji says with a small smile, the first one he held in days.
"Do you see Cathal anywhere?" Jacob asks as the two stand in the middle of the station, looking around for any signs of other demons or keepers. Kenji didn't see Cathal, but he did see a blonde demon with a dark haired keeper. "See something Kenji? You have to keep me updated about things, you are the more observant one and you know it," Jacob says with a smile as he ruffles Kenji's hair eliciting a sour, sarcastic look from the keeper.
"That fellow is a keeper and the girl is a demon like you, can't you tell that?" Kenji asked as he looked to Jacob, already knowing the answer. "Oh, I knew, I just wanted to make you feel better by making you think I need you to see the world better," Jacob says as the two follow the keeper and demon's progress through the station by observation.
"Let's go," Kenji says with a nod as the two head towards where the keeper and his demon stopped. The two approached just in time to hear the boy's name. "Hey, name's Kenji, this is Jacob. Cathal, it's good to see you again," Kenji says with a small wave at the oldest individual in the group. Kenji had met his new guild leader when his father had had a party once, long ago, when Kenji was a young teenager or something.
