Fukurou walked through the rows of houses, trying to reach a decision. To anyone else, he would likely look like someone simply out apartment shopping, but in reality, this was the least of his concerns as he tried to make up his mind as to whether he even liked this village or not...

Oki pulled the door closed the apartment building behind her, still moving gingerly after her release from the hospital. She had a purse slung over her shoulder and some empty shopping bags tucked under her arm. She didn't particularly feel like going out, but groceries were getting scarce and it didn't look like Baoh was going to get them any time soon...

Fukurou swung his glance from one side of the road to the other looking over each and every building in detail, reguardless of whether they had a 'for rent' sign or not. When he saw Oki walk out of her building, he froze in mid step looking up at her, unsure if he should run or simply ignore her and keep walking...

The sudden stop caught Oki's attention and she looked over and saw Fukurou. She offered a sad smile and a wave.
"Hey Fukurou. Long time no see."

Fukurou straightened up, stood up taller, and fixed his shirt back down into a wrinkle-free position. "I should expect that you meant for it to be longer. I shan't disturb you. If you tell me which way you intend to walk, I will go the opposite."

Oki looked hurt. Granted she didn't know Fukurou very well, but she couldn't understand what had happened that she would receive such a chilly reception.
"What do you mean I meant for it to be longer? Fukurour, what did I do to upset you like this?"

"A simple no would have sufficed, rather than to send that babboon in your stead..." Fukurou cleared his thought and turned his head away. "Forgive me, I am being rude, and that is not my aim." He stood up straight once more. "Fear not, you've taught me my lesson, and that is enough is it not. You do not have to attempt to act polite to me, meerly professional should I co-occupy this village with you."

"Babboon? What's this about a monkey?" Oki stammered. "Fukurou, I have no idea what you're talking about! What should I have said no to? And why are Ruu and Kitsi living in my apartment and not with you?"

Fukurou looked like he was scrutinizing everything Oki said. "Is this a test? I'm supposed to believe you know after all the effort put forth into teaching me to distrust everyone and everything, less they turn into your sensai who laughs at you for thinking a woman would actually come for dinner with me and my best friends - whom he's also taken from me now..."

Oki grew serious.
"What did Baoh do, Fukurou? This isn't a test, I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. I know we were all supposed to have dinner together; I've been looking forward to it! But I hadn't heard anything from you, and I've been a bit tied up lately so I hadn't tracked oyu down to invite you over."

Fukurou scrutinized her some more. "And now I tell you everything, rat out he who is supposed to be my sensai, a puff of smoke and suddenly you're him again, only this time not trying to taste my tonsils..." He sighed. "Are Kitsi and Ruu alright at least? That's all I really need to know..."

"They're fine, I've been looking after them. But are you telling me that Baoh went to you, looking like me, and kissed you?"

"And proceeded to inform me of what you actually thought of me. A hard lesson learned, but I think I got it." He gave a relieved sigh. "I appologise if my friends are a burdon on you. I would love to have them back, but Baoh forbids it. If I choose to leave this village however, they will be coming as well..."

"What I think of you? How in the nine hells would Baoh even know that? We've never talked about you! Fukurou, please, tell me what he said. If he's been out impersonating me, I deserve to know that much. It's hurt you, whatever it was, and for that I'm truly sorry. But don't worry about Ruu and Kitsi. It's my pleasure having them."

"He said enough," Fukurou said, not wanting to cause further problems for anyone, especially the people responsible for his best friends. "But that is not my place to say. I just don't know if I can live in a world where all that exists is misstrust Ms. Oki, and I can't continue to live at Ms. Otomeken's house, I miss the open forest. Your friend certainly is... Unorthadox as Ms. Otomeken tried to warn me..."
