Titania

"Glad to see you two have made up." The older woman chuckles as she sets down her bag on the kitchen counter. Their home was a modest apartment, nothing too fancy but it was big enough for three people at least and had good amenities. The perks of working in the medical industry and practically ruining her health for a good few years to be able to get a higher paying job. "Sorry boys... I'd have known I would try and prep somethin' for ya to eat snack on." It was fairly common for her to be stuck working late. However her son only shakes his head. "Nah mom it's ok. Urameshi-san actually whipped up some snacks in the kitchen earlier with what we had in the fridge so we're good." "Oh really? Had no clue the Devil of Sarayashiki was a good cook." The blonde chuckles. "You plannin' on sticking around kiddo? I could order us some takeout it for dinner." ➥ 𝗨𝗡𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗗 / always accepting

“Oh hey Miss Malis.” Yusuke waved hello, it was lazy mostly because his eyes were plastered onto the book. Mostly because he’s not much of a science person. But this comic..Red Hood? Interesting. Maki told him it was about a guy who’s come from nothing, found himself a father figure only to get tortured and die at the end of this young life. Which is..soo very much like his own when he had gotten into a coma.

Well at the very least it looks like they're getting along now after their little fight. Seems they even have some things to bond over. "You didn't get to finish the volume, if you want you can borrow it can next time you come over I can lend ya." Maki offered as he held out the latest volume he was reading.

"Mr Urameshi is a good child I assure you, alittle rough around the edge but intentions are what drives his fists forward. Miss...I can't thank you enough for being an understanding individual, but make no mistake he'll still be reprimanded." Normally he'd send him with two weeks on the cage but yusuke would absolutely love that. "Again I'm sorry this even happened in the first place. Now Mr Urameshi I want you to express your sincerest apologies to this young man and his elegant mother." He said as his eyes spots the time on his wristwatch.

Ugh Any other person he'd tell to shove it..but the chairman. He stood up and even bowed. "I got outta line and I'm sorry. Honestly the kid looks like he was pissed so I just wanted t' give him a target..but I guess I could handle the same crap I was dishin' out." Yusuke spoke softly.

"Think nothin' of it. I knew what it's like growin' up without yer folks around and what it can do to a kid.... All that matters is if the two can work it out." Reaching out two hands she puts them on both of the boys head and gives them a playful rub.

"Well if anythin' happens again with my boy here's my number, feel free to pass it along to Miss. Urameshi as well." she hands the man a small piece of paper with her name and number written down.

'Kore Malis,

#########'

"Alright, since I had to call out for the rest of the day at work. Maki yer gonna be home all day doin' chores as punishment ya hear me?"

"Wha—Oh C'mon mom!!"

"Alright old man there better be a good reason you called me out of work for this." And the blonde has the audacity to sit on his desk and pull out a cigarette to start smoking. "Ehhh don't gimme that crap I've spotted yer teachers smokin' in the break room. If they got not respect for smokin' outside then I don't have to give a shit either, NOW." She points to the two boys. "Care to tell me why ya kicked my son's ass? And Maki what'd ya do to get yerself hit in the first place?" Boys may be boys but there had to have been a good reason for the fight in the first place. ➥ 𝗨𝗡𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗗 / always accepting

“Well..least your mom’s on time Super punch.” If they were going to wait for Atsuko, then they might have to wait a very long time before she’d show her face here. Hell, he doesn’t even remember if the woman was sober before he felt for school. However, Yusuke still made himself quite comfortable in his seat. “Eh, he needed t’ let out some steam. It’s when he decided t’ be a smart mouth is when I unloaded back.”

He spoke rather casually. Wait..hold on a minute.. Was this woman a babe? Hair’s a little missy..the glasses are dorky, but oh they were doing it. Guess it made sense, pretty boy, pretty mother. Still, the moment Maki mentioned that at least his father was the one running from responsibility and his mother actually stood strong. Then mentioned if the rumors were right, then Yusuke’s mother stood stronger horizontally, and that’s when Yusuke saw red in the moment.

But he managed to stop because the kid had his own demons to contend with. The insults…were just a byproduct of that pain. No matter how much Yusuke might’ve pummeled him, Maki’s internal conflict must hurt twice as much. 

Then without further adieu the door opened once more and it was..the old man? Yusuke’s expression turned from laidback to full on panicked as he quickly stood straight in his seat. The freaking third chairman of all people came on HIS BEHALF?! 

“I’m sorry for the delay. I heard Miss Urameshi could not make it, but here I am.” The man said as he stood straight. He was polite yet authoritative as he stood straight. He then turned to look at the poor boy who’d been pummeled near death. “Mr Urameshi..you know better, you cannot continue to solve your issues through violence.” The man said firmly but not harshly.

"So Maki.... what'd you say?"

That's when her son would flinch in his seat. He couldn't stand this. he's done everything to be a good model student for the sake of not causing trouble for his mom who was doing everything she could to provide for them.... And it all comes crashing down the moment this bastard makes a comment about his mom and it was made even worse when he started saying shit about his own mom.

"I.... I got mad cause he was bad mouthing you and the fact dad's not around..."

"Oh? And what did you say to get hit?"

"I...." It was clear he was embarrassed as he slowly starts sinking into his seat. "I said some crappy stuff about his mom...."

"Liiiike?"

".... Like how you stand down for your job... when she lays down for her—ACK! mOM!" He was interrupted with swift to the head. "No you absolutely deserved to get the black eye." She scolds him with hands on her hips.

It was that kid again... He said his name was Yusuke right? She should... Probably apologize for how she acted last night. "Hey..." Kore calls out to grab his attention before rubbing the back of her neck. "I.... Sorry about last night. I think I had a little much to drink and I may have misread some signals..." Kore awkwardly apologizes as she couldn't quite meet his gaze. There were bags under her eyes. "I uh.... I shouldn't have kissed ya when yer still recoverin' from losin' yer girl not long ago.... Agh crap I'm not good at this kinda thing...." ➥ 𝗨𝗡𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗗 / always accepting

OOH yeah that night.. physically speaking he was enjoying a kiss with that so-called dead wife of his all along..but he couldn’t morally let her kiss him like that in good conscience..not until she actually either starts to feel some form of familiarity towards him or if she was at least sober. “It’s okay..we both drank a lot, and we both (just her) got drunk, it’s okay.”

It’s not like Tania wouldn’t want him to get back into the game. However, once Yusuke maneuvers around her to get a good look at her face.. “You..haven’t slept at all, haven’t ya.” That’s when his eyes spotted a makai insect upon her shoulder..oh it wasn’t an insect it was actually something that resembled a frog.

"Huh? Oh.... Yeah I suffer from insomnia most nights... Nothin' I'm not used to." She waves off his concern. This was just how her life is. Hard to sleep when all you can dream about is the one night you can never forget.

Huh, kid had his own little business and everything.... Toryu-tei.... She's heard that name a few times now. If it weren't for that she would have thought he was lying tryin to fluff himself up. "Well... If that's the case I guess you can come along." She was... A lot more closed off and reserved. As if she couldn't fully trust anyone. Is this what she was like before she became Titania?

Damn even that jab was nice. “No..I was a spirit detective there’s a difference.” He’s acting as though the second they had fired him, he lost his ability to sense supernatural anomalies and evil spirits. If that were the truth, then his house would have been haunted even now. He’s looking at his little field and then there it is, little sprouts that are beginning to show. These daikon radishes are going to be great. Hell with her he could cheat the market and become a produce provider.

A heavy sigh as let out as she turned her gaze to the sky. This brat..... Did he just call her because he was lonely or something? Ugh..... How was she supposed to say no when he looked at her with those puppy dog eyes? And he's right their cooking just wasn't the same as his....

Holy shit this kid lost his girlfriend? He looked so young too... She felt a sting of pain in her chest but wasn't near as painful as the sudden headache from a few moments ago. "You sure? What about yer kid?" Did he have someone to watch over her? There's no way she could possibly be old enough to be left home alone....

"Hey kid.... You've been starin' for a while now... Something wrong?" Kore asked the young man with a curious gaze, though with her glasses she was having a hard time making out his face from this distance. Things have been.... Strange. There's been people that have been coming up to her and calling her 'Tania' but she has no idea what they're talking about and its beginning to get on her nerves. And there was that damned foggy feeling in the back of her head she hasn't been able to shake for weeks now. Ugh whatever, she'll just go to the bar and get a drink. She'll work on her job hunt tomorrow. "Whatever...." ➥ 𝗨𝗡𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗗 / always accepting

"Look familiar? Jesus not another one... I just got here and people keep mistakin' me for some broad...." Though she does try and think about it. And for a split second there was almost a hint of recognition until a skull shattering pain pierces her mind and she nearly crumbles to her knees clutching her head. "Fuck! Shit that hurts... Haven't even had a drink and I'm sufferin' from a mad hangover...." Kore groans before shaking her head.

"Prickles... I gave you that branch to snap for emergencies in case something really bad was happening.... So tell me why does everything look fine!?" Tania had her hands on her hips as she floats over him. It was the peak of summer, meaning she was supposed to be in the Fae Realm attending to her duties. His former nurse continues to squint down at him, waiting for the excuse from the former spirit detective. ➥ 𝗨𝗡𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗗 / always accepting

Seriously... This is what he called her out for? If she didn't know any better she'd think this was some excuse he came up with just to get her to visit. "Yusuke.... You know you're a spirit detective right? You should be able to handle a little curse like this." The Fae King sighs as she floats to the ground. The moment her feet touch the withering grass in his yard it would rejuvinate as small flowers pop up in a small radius around where she stood. ".... Kiddo there's nothin' cursed here." She couldn't feel a lick of cursed spirit energy in the earth. "It looks like all you're missing is patience." She leans down (currently standing at 7ft tall) and gives his forehead a playful jab.

“I sing ok it’s more fun to belt out the lyrics and not care about the score anyway.” Those were the words that a terrible singer would say, but in reality she was a phenomenal singer.

"Well yer Raizen's descendent plus you were all over the news when ya 'died' and suddenly came back because you transitioned." He was bound to attract attention. People that either want him dead or to use him. "At the end of the day just follow your gut and you'll turn out fine." His instincts were going to be what get's him through this part of his life.
