It's a brand new day!

Perched on a park bench, her legs pulled up to her chest, Neko watched the people around her go about their business. It wasn’t because she was really interested, it was mostly because she was bored and didn’t really have anything else to do. The hood of her lose grey hoody was pulled over her head, hiding the snow white cat laying on her head. Except for her tail which she kept swishing into Neko’s face. “I understand you’re bored too Frost, but please stop.”

"I see." She paused before speaking, waiting for him to finish. "When since when am I careful when I fight, but I suppose I could be a bit more careful for you. My brother can protect himself just fine. That is true, and I appreciate your concern."  

"And--isn't a date a...fruit?"

Watches from afar.

Yelps as he is pushed to the ground. Covers his face to protect it as he is kicked and stepped on.

"Oh! Are you Chou-chan?"

"Thanks! To be honest, I’m quite proud of myself for it. However, I still get hurt everyday from fighting Captain Kenpachi, you know how much I love to fight…" She giggled more. "Well let’s just make sure it stay’s that way. I don’t you to start hating me forever if I were to step in…" A hand ran through her own hair. "Yep! His name is Cris, and he hunts Demons for a living." 

"Ah--right, m-my sister's love to fight too--but make sure you're careful, okay? Your brother too! It's important for everyone to stay safe..."

"Well it is," ears perked at the familiar name uttered, though mentioned nothing of it. Wondering if it was the one he called sunshine he kept silent.

"Well, thank you Mister--ah," realizing he doesn't actually know the others name, the boy quickly switches gears. "Oh! My name is Daniel, by the way--" Laughing a bit sheepishly, he rubs the back of his head. "I'm sorry I forgot my manners, heh."

"Yeah, it’s sort of a family thing."

"That would be great if it was--then maybe onee-chan would finally let me go see Retsu again."

"It can be if you’re into that kinda stuff —It’s not like it doesn’t work or anything, not many hoodlums running around so…—Christmas is for the family too, almost forgot.”

"Family?"

"Well, it's when adults lie to children saying if they didn’t behave a jolly fat man won’t break in the house and leave presents —which never happens it’s just brain washing and deception."

"O--oh, that...doesn't sound good at all." Seems rather distraught. "I-I thought it was a good thing, o-or something. But uhm, brain-washing and deceiving children certainly doesn't good uhm...good."

"Seems like a lot of people haven’t been knowing lately….—It’s a holiday."

"A--ah, is that all? Uhm, s-sure, okay." Has no idea what a holiday is supposed to be.

TIRED

"That's great, Crystal-chan!" he chirps when she is finished. "I'm glad for the good news!" Another laugh is emitted before he continues. "Ari-chan takes good care of me, she's very uhm--protective, but she means well," chuckles the boy, tousling his hair. "And you have a twin too, Crystal-chan? I guess you're like me and Retsu-chan then!"

"That’s me. Retsu must have sent you then. So— what do you want?" Is just being friendly. In his own way. Is not too good with greeting people. Wonders why Retsu wanted him to meet her brother. Is a little curious as to why the boy is so awkward.

"All right--good!" chirps the blonde, giving a thumbs up. "Glad to meet you Kurosaki-san, I'm Daniel--Re-chan's brother! I'm in town for the week staying with her, and she sent me here!" Cue nervous laughter. "I wasn't really sure I had the right house, to be honest..."

"It's been great! I moved in with my older sister Ari-chan and things are going pretty good! She tells me to eat a lot of food all the time, which is okay because she can cook pretty well--" Realizing that he's probably being rude by rambling, he quickly cuts himself off with a laugh. "Anyway, how have you been Crystal-chan? You look well!"
