Hungry Jiang Shi

Yoshika watched as an odd creature floated into her graveyard, and popped out of the ground, hoping to surprise her. "Hello!"

“Wow, got it on the first try!” Ysohika smiled. “So who are you? My name’s Yoshika.” She really wanted to ask what the girl is, but that seemed rude.

“I live here! I watch over the graveyard. So what are you doing here?” It was a bit of repetitive answer, but she had to ask.

“My Master! She… isn’t like a mom.” She frowned at that, and seemed to decide that summed up Seiga pretty well. “Not that I mind guarding, I like my job!”

“Huh? Really? The first?” Yoshika frowned. “Don’t other people like their jobs too? I know not everyone, but...”

That didn’t really answer the question, but Yoshika was too happy to press the matter. “Mmm… which one…”

“W-Well... which do you think I should pick, Master?”

Yoshika stared in surprise at them all, wondering what to wear. “So many… where’d you get them all Master?”

That didn’t really answer the question, but Yoshika was too happy to press the matter. “Mmm... which one...”

“Yay!” Yoshika looked positively ecstatic. “Let me see, Master!”

Quick scene change later…

Yoshika stared in surprise at them all, wondering what to wear. “So many... where’d you get them all Master?”

“Yay!” Yoshika looked positively ecstatic. “Let me see, Master!”

“Wow… so does that mean we dress up, Master?”

“Oh, right! Of course you have things under control, Master!” Privately, Yoshika wondered if the other Seiga could try her the same way… if she knew where she had been going… but she never seemed to care what she did, so why would she start now?

“Wow... so does that mean we dress up, Master?”

“Nowhere? You don’t think something happened to her, do you?” Yoshika looks a little concerned. The idea that she could get hurt, seriously hurt, was very unlikely… but possible.

“Oh, right! Of course you have things under control, Master!” Privately, Yoshika wondered if the other Seiga could try her the same way... if she knew where she had been going... but she never seemed to care what she did, so why would she start now?

“That’s right Master!” She hugs Seiga to the best of her ability.

“Nowhere? You don’t think something happened to her, do you?” Yoshika looks a little concerned. The idea that she could get hurt, seriously hurt, was very unlikely... but possible.

“Your badge? Where’d it go?“ The Jiang Shi looked down. “I can’t bend down too well, but I can see it!”

Haruhi froze. Shit. She knew she should have chosen a less bite-in-the-ass-worthy lie.

“Oh... well we’d better look for it!” Yoshika smiled and looks around helpfully.

“Saw what?” Yoshika floated closer to examine the girl.

“Your badge? Where’d it go?“ The Jiang Shi looked down. “I can’t bend down too well, but I can see it!”

Yoshika was floating a bit over the graveyard, high enough that everything below looked rather like specks. But after all this floating she was starting to get hungry, and as she floated down she saw something that looked rather like a giant eggplant. Nothing thinking of it more than that, she swiftly flew down to snatch up the huge vegetable and curb her hunger!

Yoshika hummed happily as the food went down. “Oh no, it’s fine! I couldn’t do that to ya, Kogasa. So umm… how ya been?”

“Really? That’s great!” Yoshika certainly understood how that might feel- her meetings with the nice version of Seiga made her happier than anything. “I’m really happy for you!” She moved a bit closer, her arms bending into a hug as best they cloud. Kogasa’s body heat helped considerably.

Yoshika blinked, blushing slightly. Luckily, being blueish, that was hard to spot unless you are really looking. “T-Thanks. Ahh!” She opens her mouth.

Kogasa makes a little game of it, tossing bits of noodle and meat into the waiting maw of the Jiang-shi, and cheering whenever she moved to catch a bit. Of course, a bit of it ended up on the ground, but that didn’t really matter to her!

Yoshika hummed happily as the food went down. “Oh no, it’s fine! I couldn’t do that to ya, Kogasa. So umm... how ya been?”

This was a sort of familiar face. Yoshika floated over to the tiger cautiously. They were supposed to be enemies after all. "Hello!"

This one seemed to be cautious too. Well, time to break the ice! “I know we’re like on opposite sides or something, but neither of our masters are here now, right? I’m Yoshika, what’s your name?” The Jiang Shi gave one of her best smiles.

Well… She supposed it couldn’t hurt. She and the Prince were on better terms these days, and like she’d said, it wasn’t like anyone was around to see them. “Shou Toramaru,” the tigress replied, tilting her head at the odd undead girl. 

“Shou’s a nice name! And I as just floating around. I like to wander a bit when I’m bored. Besides, the others watch when I’m gone, so its okay.”
