"Its as he says Kamiya-san, share what you think is important no need to go over all the details that might be too much, but we do appreciate useful information" she pauses for a moment still keeping that patient smile upon her lips. "It would make our jobs easier to understand and well, it could also be good for you to talk about the issue, especially with those who can understand it" . Because to how many people you can share that strange things have been happening, without being seen as crazy?

Megumi takes a deep breath and exhales. It was going to be quite the story to tell, but Urameshi did also tell her that the most she could share, no matter how small it might seem or unbelievable, would be important if he ever had a hope in solving the problem. “Well we’re from the countryside until my Husband Kamiya Sojiro got a job out here in the city. Oh, I think it’s important for me to mention that he’s works as a high school teacher. His credentials had landed him a job at one of the more prestigious schools here in Yokohama. The pay was better, and it meant that our own children would have a much easier life. Yes, moving was hard on them as it is saying goodbye to friends, but they are still very young so we figured they would still make many friends quite easily.” She excuses herself to a snack..the first bite out of the takoyaki brought out a delightful hum that Yusuke caught from their bedroom.

“…no, I wouldn’t know anyone else around my height with a Piplup. I’m a pretty short person, after all. It sounds like the rumors might actually have been about me. Maybe they saw Pip training and misunderstood. Piplup’s a pretty rare Pokémon, too, especially in Galar.” She rubbed Pip’s chin a little, relaxing him into a little puddle of blue. How odd, that there were rumors like that. If they were about her, then maybe she’d understand. But they mentioned attacking people. Pip never attacked anyone, not even once, since they arrived in Galar.

“Pip and I only arrived a couple weeks ago. We’re from the Sinnoh region,” she added. “My name is Sylvia Reviar. You’ve met Pip. This is Fluffy,” she gestured at her Altaria, who lowered his wings and shook his body out now that battle was no longer an option. “…and this is Spike, who only hatched yesterday.” The Toxel on her ankle glanced at the boy once, then buried his face against her tights. Some of her hair stood on end, but she didn’t seem to care.

“I promise you, I can see them. I’m a researcher under Professor Rowan’s tutelage, but I’m also a sanctuary owner from Sandgem Town. I specialize in Pokémon with disabilities, trauma, abuse, or Shadow-related histories.” She turned the rumors in her head again. “Can you tell me what exact rumors you heard? Are you sure it was a Piplup, or was it just a foreign, small, blue Pokémon? Was the trainer definitely a girl? Maybe I can help you investigate.”

“Sinnoh..yer a long way from home.” Though he shouldn’t be talking. He dug into his pocket as he then pulled out a card and handed to her. There’s the name of his freelance company: Celadon Private Pokemon Detective Agency.’ Yusuke was their one and only overseas operative due to his nature of wanting to grow and experience the world. Though..he really should have sought out one of the professors for a pokedex. 

“Urameshi Yusuke’s the name. I handle things from saving skitty’s in a tree t’ human-related crimes..though I take bodyguard jobs too..but right now I’m in the purifyin’ business.” He spoke as he showed off the invention grafted onto his right arm. As for the crew..I left most of the guys back home but-” He’s had the privilege of catching and befriending some precious friends here.

The balls were thrown and out of them were: A charizard, The pangoro she’s seen earlier, a rhyhorn, and of course a little Toxel who seemed rather outgoing as he’d spot the other Toxel and crawls towards it as though they were brothers. “Yeah..that one loves makin’ friends. Found him hurt some time ago and now he doesn’t leave me alone.” He looks up at the Altaria.

“Now that’s a cute bird, makes me miss the one I caught. I got mine as an egg.” He could remember the little Swablu that used to latch to the top of his head. But back to the business at hand.. “If you could see them, then you might actually be a good partner. Ya see I had a visor that let me see ‘em but I got into a fight with another pokemon and it got damaged. So now I gotta go off instinct which..isn’t the most effective as you saw.” He spoke as he crossed both his arms over his chest. Rhyhorn couldn’t help but slowly step towards his trainers and hides his shyself behind Yusuke as though the boy was a boulder that eclipsed his body.

At Yusuke's question, though, she answered a huff and a weak shake of her head, shaking her legs against the wall a bit in turn.

He caught the wink that made him fluster slightly, and so as usual, he’s silently scoffed, placing both his arms at the back of his head, looking off towards the side. Puu on the other hand, revelled in the attention and affection; it wasn’t a secret that he absolutely loves all of this from her specifically.

Yusuke then tucks his hands into the pockets of the jacket he wore, his eyes looking around. Too bad, if it was the situation of a broken AC-unit he could have fixed it for her..somehow. “My apartment has an ac that yer more than welcome t’ use.” It’s not like he uses it much either way, considering he’s hardly ever home. “But if we’re gonna tackle this problem in here specifically, how about I go out and look for a ghost?? I’m pretty sure one of our old abandoned psych wards has a lost soul or two in there. Their presence in the room alone would make the place a lot cooler for ya.”

Still to think he had all this time to make an animal friend. At this rate she was wondering if her husband was secretly a disney princess with how animals seemed to be attracted to him."You make friends with the strangest people...." Tania sighs all the while their daughter was bouncing with excitement in his arms.

"Yes!! I wanna meet daddy's dolphin friend!! Can he talk? Oooo does he have any cool powers?!" What if her daddy's been teaching the dolphin how to fight? Oh that'd be so cool!!

"Mommy can we got to the ocean and say hi to his fish friend??? prettty pleaaaaaaaaaase?"

"I..... Well first thing junebug, dolphins are mammels not fish. You'll learn more about that in school. And second.... So long daddy is very careful yes you can see his friend." And she turns to give Yusuke a stern look.

Nothing but immense happiness is shown on Yusuke’s face after his sweet wife had allowed them to go to the beach, where they’ll meet his good dolphin friend. “Oh, I’d never do anything t’ let my Mochi drown.” He smile holding her close before pulling away to hold Kiku in the air and began examining her. No sharp ears..and no wings.. “Fae traits must be takin’ awhile. Though before we go, are ya ready t’ shop with your old man?? One of our cheerleaders work at one of the smaller malls in the city, I’m sure she’d give us something cool from the kiddie section. Oh..then we’d need t’ buy you some floaties for your arms.”

"A-a sh-shakedown?" Then that means.... he was possibly beating his classmates and taking their money. She thought he was just earning a good paycheck from his part time job. But if all of those dates were funded with blood money then...

But try as she might, and she's tried several times, she couldn't get Yusuke to back out of this less teaching session, more training session. Seduction worked only once, pleading fell on deaf ears. It was a noble act to uphold, even if it wasn't particularly in Ashley's favor... and she was irritated at just how much she appreciated it. Such an endlessly stubborn man, always aiming to better her in some way. He succeeded in the self-defense front, but Ashley held reservations with this topic of discussion.

"How have you moved to the States and not had to have a PB&J yet? Other than the burger capital of the world, we're pretty well known for weird combos like that. Chilidogs. Chocolate and peanut butter again. Actually, we might just really like peanut butter here," his, albeit minute, look incites a laugh or two, hid easily by the crook of her elbow. "Seriously, that's the 'I need to make rent' meal."

Two pizzas? Meat lovers? Sides? With each new order added, Ashley's eyes slid wider. It's - it's just the two of them, why - how would they need two pizzas, and what even all goes on a 'meat lovers' pizza, and people have sides with their pizza? Ashley looks back at the trash with a look of gratitude; that humble offering wouldn't have even slightly calmed the beast living within Yusuke Urameshi.

"Hawaiian pizza is where you draw the line?" Ashley whisper-talks, finally abandoning the dish she feels is permanently scarred by this day. "I didn't think there was anything you wouldn't eat. ... Okay, other than that probably living organism I just made. I don't think anyone would've eaten that."

As he speaks, Ashley strips off her kitchen gloves, tosses them too, and observes the ruined state of her countertop. Her wallet was here, at a time.

Is it even possible to locate anymore?

“Easy I jus’ don’t go mixin’ stuff that shouldn’t mix in the first place.” That and he’s made his own meals, only time he doesn’t are instances like this where take out’s the only option or he’s out and he finds a nice diner or gets fast food. Yusuke will experiment here and there, but there are some instances where he simply needed to stay away and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches was one of those instances. 

“I will admit you guys’re onto somethin’ with your chilidogs…and that whole bacon for breakfast thing.” Of course he needed to give credit where credit’s due, and those were the best ideas america had produced when it came to food..or at least what he can think of right now off the bat. He’s far too focused on his near death experience with her cooking to even think straight.

“OH there’s a few things I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot fork that’s for sure.” He said as he began helping her relocate her wallet. First place he checked was..her of course. Yusuke will always find an excuse to touch her, first he started with her ass, giving her cheek one good squeeze and next was her mounds, another quick hand arriving at her breast to fondle her lightly. “They’re not there..that’s for sure.” In actuality Yusuke had given’ her a full pat-down, just secretly considering how great he is in the art of pickpocketing. 

“Tell me again, how does someone lose their wallet, anyway?” Yusuke’s only problem was the ‘I left it in the wrong pants’ situation rather than outright losing it. Although he couldn’t say the same thing about his phone, that was a device that needed a replacement every two or so weeks. Thank goodness infidelity cases pay handsomely. 

Kurai walks over to give Sakura a headpat. "G-good job Kanboku-chan." It seems even years later she's never dropped the habit of addressing her peers by their last names. "W-with this we h-have four members now. Okata-Sensei sh-should h-have an easier k-keeping the st-staff off our backs..." Excitedly she goes to grab a small book and flips open to the very first page where each member has signed there names.

"Huh..right off the bat with that one huh...how old were you when ya heard this dead man's voice??" Sounds like a haunting if he ever heard one, and did it stop?? Or does it persist?? Hmmm she seemed far too happy now for a lost soul to have been harassing her. But it looks like he'd have to give a story himself. Boy, there was a lot to go through in his mind.

"Oh here's one. Four years ago, I was actually hit by a car, it's soo spooky that you can even look it up on the internet. Type in Sarayashiki boy run over..or somethin' close enough t' that. Anyway, during my coma I had an out-of-body experience where I was a ghost." Now he needed to be careful with the information given, this alone was enough to have Botan breathing down his neck.

"...Give it up already Yusuke. That's not what it was about." But they did find themself interested when he finally spoke about starting a farm on his teacher's land.

The young woman eventually stirs and when she does she looks down at him with a sleepy smile.

The sun’s rays had found its way over his face and slowly illuminated the darkness just enough for his eyes to open ever so slightly. A silhouette of a blond is in his peripheral view, one hand reaches up to rub slight bloodshot eyes due to tears as his view of her was clear. “G’mornin’.” Has she always looked this damn pretty in the morning?? Or maybe this was just the effect of waking up with her for the first time.

"There ya are Miss Malis." He smirk as he leans against the bars.. "Missed me soo much that ya came back t' see me?? First thing I'm gonna do after I get out is marry ya. It's about time ya know what a real husband would feel like."

UNPROMPTED

"I came by cause the guards told me you were runnin' a fever yet to my surprise you look completely fine." She hums as she remains on the other side of the bars with a hand under her chin. "That's very cute of you Mr. Urameshi but I heard you'll still be in the pen for quite some time. And I'm afraid I'll be old and gray by then." More importantly she was only working here temporarily to pass the time. Once she's had her fill she'll leave and he'll be old and gray before she even gains a wrinkle.
