Introduction
A winter night in the big city...who knows what could happen? Or who could show up without you expecting it? The possibilities are endless...

"The type of close like you hold hands, or the close where you turn into a pancake?" The boy giggled.

"Hmm...where to go for clothes...I take it you'd be mad if I suggested the children's section?", he asked, looking up at the floor directory. Typical...kids clothes was on the floor above the toys. Not that he was expecting Karu to want to go there, but he'd always found it amusing that humans deliberatly set things out in this way, and then complained because their kid didn't want to go past the toy floor. A better solution would be to put the toys at the top of the building. That way the parents could work their way up, and get the rest of the shopping done in the process.
"They've got art materials here as well, since you like to draw. We could go get some stuff for you, if you wanted?", he suggested, remembering the drawing from earlier.

The boy nipped at his hands gently, frowning and trying to slap him, though of course, failing horribly..and amusingly. "Ngggghhh yaaahhh!" He groaned, trying to reach his face to pimp slap him, obviously ticked off, the way his little fangs bared.
"Damn it all!"

"Oh and by the way? You just called me a hot piece of ass in the language of the Shax Demons. I didn't know you were fluent.", he continued, easily finding the most embarrassing translation of Karu's 'made up language' from the various languages from the Demon Realms.
Okay, his 'translation', wasn't strictly accurate, and there were no such thing as Shax demons, but Karu wouldn't know that.

In the mean time, he just showed off a bright smile. "It's brotherly love."

"Alright then. Go nuts, Karu. I've got enough money here, so go pick what you want.", he told Karu, letting go of the boy's hand, "Don't go too far though, even my wallet has its limit."
Truth be told, Ryu had enough money in the bank to allow Karu to get a new outfit for every day for the next year or so. He didn't want to draw too much attention to himself though. People might wonder how a teenager can afford to buy so much.
And technically it wasn't his money. Well, it was, but the account was under a different name. A name that people recognised...Kage Ukita.

The boy walked off, though he kept Ryu in sight, and began going through clothes, the most idiotic expression plastered onto his face.
Well, when he was about done, he got this many things:
A pair of skinny jeans with white bleach spots.
White boots with silver lace, also having a 2 and a half inch heel.
A white, long sleeved collared shirt.
Ridiculous amounts of rainbow coloured bracelets.
A new pair of thin leather white gloves with silver stitching.
A white cravat to be tucked under the collar of the white shirt.
Hair gel (since his hair is layered, occasionally he enjoys making the back of his hair spikey)
A black, large hoodie that has yellow lines on it
Baggy cargo pants, also black, with sparkly yellow belts hanging off of them.
Yellow converse shoes that are sparkly
Sparkly yellow bracelets
Yellow sparkles (.....)
Eyeliner
Fake glasses (he says they make him look "superior". though the glasses look real, the lenses are a hard plastic.)
Yellow headphones..
and yellow nailpolish. (to paint his nails and his claws, yep yep)
"Nii-chan! I'm done!" He said, running out of the crowds of people and to his "older brother". "I hope I didn't get too much?" The boy's hands were full, but he could carry them despite.

"You really like sparkly stuff, huh?", he teased, taking some of the stuff off of Karu's hands. He subtly checked the sizes of the clothing, in case he had to buy other clothes for him later on. Chances were, he would have to at some point.
"I'll keep the stuff here, if you want to go get more?", he offered, though in his mind he wasn't looking forward to carrying all this home...

The boy looked up at him and grinned with his sharp teeth. "So, where to now dude?!" He asked happily, standing in front of him with his hands on his hips. "Oh! Oh! Have you ever been to like, one of those clubs or rave parties? I love dances!"

"To answer your earlier question, we'll pay for this, then...I dunno, we could either go get some lunch, or buy the food for the house and head home. What you reckon? I'll let you pick.", he asked, starting to head over to the desk to pay for Karu's clothes.
He couldn't be bothered with paying by card or anything, he rarely could, but he had enough cash on him to cover it...Just enough...

Karu spun in a circle and leaned forward next to Ryu, looking up at the desk. He looked at the check out lady and waved. "Hello, ma'am!" The cat boy said, bowing once and smiling like a little gentleman.

"Oi, quit it. You'll make me look bad", Ryu growled playfully at him, nudging the boy's shoulder, "Here, since it's your stuff, you at least carry some of it.", he continued, giving Karu some of the bags, his wallet feeling decidadly lighter than it previously had. Oh well, Karu seemed happy enough...
"Right...food now. Anything in particular that you want me to buy? Aside from fish. Lay off asking for junk food though. I'm drawing the line at that.", he said to the Neko, heading to the right floor. The great thing about Japanese department stores? Everything was in one building.

Might as well act like a 10 year old if he looks like one, for now, at least. When they got to an area that was less crowded, though of course still pretty packed, he looked up at "nii-chan" with suddenly seemingly huge eyes.
"I love you onii-chan~. Like a cherry on ice cream!~" He said, pulling down his "brother" to give him a friendly peck on the cheek. "Nenenenene.~"

When Karu pulled him down, and kissed his cheek, Ryu was kind of sorry that he'd decided to become the Neko's 'big brother'. It meant that he couldn't act the way he wanted to around the boy.
"I love you too, Karu-chan...", he replied, returning the kiss, though hating that he was limited to a kiss on the cheek.

"I like this stuff.~" He said happily, looking through his bag. "One moment." The boy flattened his ears against his head, and then plunged his hands into his hoodie and messed up his hair to where his locks covered his ears. He threw the hoodie's hood off his head when his ears were completely covered with yellow strings of hair.
"I'm going to put on the black hoodie with yellow lines." Karu explained, tugging off his jacket. His tail being visible, he threw on the black hoodie fast so no one saw: fortunately, his tail blended in with the darkness of his under shirt.
Slipping his arms through the sleeves, it was only a little bit bigger, but it was designed like that, and since it fit, he ripped off the tag like a rabid rabbit. "There we go. Now for the gloves; these ones are getting really thin."
Karu reached into the bag and grabbed his new pair of gloves with the silver stitching and took off his old ones, revealing his hands for a quick second, though no one saw as he slipped the new ones on his hands.
Adjusting to the sudden hug on his fingers, he flexed his fingers constantly. Tugging on his ponytail, he pick at the hairband and once it was off, he braided his hair and then set it back to his normal hair style.
Happily, he reached into the bag again and pulled out the fake glasses, slipping them onto his face. "They make me look smarter."

"And those don't just make you look smarter, they're sexy too.", he admitted, after Karu had put the glasses on. They definatly were, though the image made him sad...Willow had worn glasses. Not a lot, but she had, at times.
Why did everything about this kid remind him of Her? It wasn't fair...
"Come on...let's go, Karu.", he said, his voice containing a trace of sadness, as he turned and went into the store.

"Come on, if you hurry, I'll let you pick dinner. Like I said though, limit the junk food. I'll allow some things, but not a lot. Certainly not Twinkies. I know what's in those things, and I don't want you eating it. Pop-Tarts are off limits too. Just a warning.", he warned. Karu might like stuff like that, he wasn't sure, but like hell Ryu was letting that crap in his house. The kid was hyper enough, he didn't need all that sugar and E-numbers making him worse. Well, Ryu didn't need that. Karu already gave him a migrane at times.

Might aswell not question him.
Shrugging it off, he smiled. "Oh, hey. Can we get Pocky? It's not that bad of a junk food, I don't think. I really like strawberry.~"
Setting

"I know I sound like a parent, but I still want you to eat proper food. I'm not one of those people who live on take outs and pizza, and I don't want you to be either. You'll lose that cute little figure if you do.", Ryu teased, poking Karu in the stomach lightly to emphasise his point.
"Okay, that's two things I know you like. Fish and Pocky...anything else I should buy?", he asked, picking up some of the other stuff he needed: coffee, bread, milk. That kind of thing. He honestly didn't really think much about what to get for meals, normally he would just get something from work, if he talked nice to Anri, one of the chefs at the resturant, she would make him something. But he would need to actually start cooking now. He wasn't too sure if any of the recipes he knew would actually work with more modern ingredients...

Smiling, he nodded. "Well, I like cereal, broccoli, oddly spinach too. Oh! I love corn and lots of milk. Milk is awesome! Some other stuff I like would be natural potato chips, bacon, oh and soup."
The boy grabbed onto Ryu's arm and hugged it while they walked. "I'll never loose my cute little figure! I loose weight instead, especially if you know what we'll be doing." He said, winking and then bursting out into laughs. "Kidding kidding."

Forcing the bad, bad thoughts out of his head, he collected the items Karu had said, along with some other stuff that he could use for meals. Including different types of fish, that he knew how to make something interesting with. This was an opportunity to show off. He'd need to check the recipe though, which would mean searching for the cookbook.
"Do you want to get anything else while we're here? Or do you just want to go home now?", he asked once he'd paid for the food.
Ryu was starting to get tired from holding the Change for so long though. It would probably be best to head home at this point, if he didn't want a repeat of last night, when he'd passed out.

Karu stretched his arms and looked outside. "I feel like napping anyway. I usually have catnaps around this time."
Grabbing his hand, he held his hand as they walked outside. "I have a question for you," he decided to ask, looking up at the male. "can you help me learn defense moves? Because you know, there's always that one time in your life that you do have to defend yourself. I want to learn how to punch..and kick like a professional. So, I want you to be my sensei..." he trailed off, staring directly at the older boy's eyes.
"Because, well, you're kind of the only person I trust."

And who knew? Maybe teaching the kid how to defend himself might be kinda fun?
The metro ride home was pretty quiet, Ryu was just thinking. There was no way he'd be able to spar with Karu, not properly, and certainly not when he was scared of hurting the boy. He'd need to think of some other way...
"Right, go put your stuff in your room, I'll put the food away.", he said when they got back to the apartment.

"What a nice guy.~" Karu crooned happily, before cartwheeling himself out of his room.
