Going out all alone

*Takumi blushed deeply, shaking her head to clear her thoughts* "Is this how my mother felt when she first met father?" *Turning to Pyrus* "...and who are you? I don't believe I have to reveal my personal details to a stranger"

"You just said to that man your name and your last name just so happens to be the same as mine. I wouldn't mind an explaination myself. My name is Pyrus Nekomi you know the owner of Pyrus pizzaria." Pyrus was confused.

*Realizing what had just escaped her mouth, Takumi covered her mouth, shaking her head vigorously* J-j-j-j-just forget I said anything! Here's payment for the pizza!" *Takumi reached into her purse and grabbed out a fistful of 100 yen coins, putting them on the table, and running out of the pizzeria*

Pyrus chased after her " I would like to know a bit more and please stop running away I look like a creep." Pyrus was trying to catch up with her.

"Just what do you want!?"

"For you to explain to me why your running and why you freaked out just calm down and lie to me atleast." Pyrus was getting tired.

"I...said something in front of you that I now realize I shouldn't have...I didn't know who you were..."

"Calm down if it helps any I am an illusion the real Pyrus is not around anymore and your secret will be safe with me now explain yourself a little." Pyrus caught up with her and handed the money back.

"...how do I explain this...and you keep the money..." *Takumi sits down on a bench* "...my mother is Tsun Nekomi, and my father is Syprus Nekomi...and I'm from the future..."

"Makes sense... I see so, he ended up with her and had a kid. That would explain why you looked like April a little bit." Pyrus put the money in his pocket. "You should know better then to meddle with time though some things should not be messed with."

"I...know. I'm here looking for mom, she came back to this time period too...and left me and my siblings behind..." *Takumi started to tear up*

Pyrus sat down next to her and put his arm around her and started to dry her tears with his hand "I see then it was her that was meddling with me a while back. Now cheer up she has her reasons for doing this. Now be a big girl and dry up those tears." Pyrus was trying his hardest.

"...o-o-okay...grandpa...I...will..." *Takumi rested her head on Pyrus* "...at least...I got to meet...you. Mother and father never told me much about my grandparents..."

"I was not around to raise Syprus and as you can see I am just an illusion. You look a little like your grandma before she turned into a cat." Pyrus patted her head "You can take a nap and calm down I'll keep you safe as long as you need. I can let you stay in the spare bedroom in my shop."

"Thanks...and please don't tell my mom and dad in this era about my last name...I don't think I'm supposed to reveal that to any of my relatives..." *Takumi sits back up* "...I'm 200 years old, by the way, so I'm not a kid...by human standards, anyway..."

"Your a kid still. Your sercret is safe with me. You want me to carry you, you look really tired." Pyrus kissed her on the head.

"Sure...I get tired easily after a lot of emotion...just...like...my mother" *Takumi chuckled weakly* "...it's surprising how much I take after her..."

Pyrus picked her up "I see then none the bad traits of Syprus or me were passed on that is a good thing." He started to carry Takumi back to his shop. "So how much magic have your learned or do you even know how to use it?"

"I only know a few curses right now...that's it. I'm still studying on how to use my magic. I'm very talented with my electric powers though"

"I see you know about curses so your a little trouble maker." Pyrus teased her a bit he made it back to his shop and went into the back room where a bed was set up "Not much but, me being an illusion I don't really need sleep or anything just a nice place to think after a day of work." He put Takumi down.

"Not really, I don't cause much trouble at home. And thanks again for letting me stay here...think you could teach me some magic?"

"If you want I can show you a few tricks what are you interested in learning?" Pyrus took a seat.

"Anything that'll help me with using my magic better is good enough for me..."

"Hmmmm well I learned magic during a time of fighting a war so it became a natural to use. A good trick is to imagine you have a lake of water in you and your daming it up. Then just work from there to learn how to open the dam as you need the magic." Pyrus closed his eyes and gave her an example and a little flame appeared on the tip of his finger.

"Oh...really? Lemme try!" *Takumi concentrated and large sparks emitted from her palm and fingers*
