Merry Old Tokyo [OPEN]

Shinagawa was not a place that Rei would of normally gone on her own-- so she had to go with the company of her older brother, Ryuji. The punkish looking older teen, a good 4 years older than she was, grumpily led the way down the street. Looking at him, most people would think he was a punk. The skull-shaped bandana he wore, the sport-jersey he wore and shorts, along with his sneakers. The perpetual grumpy look he wore didn't help-- which frustrated Rei at times. The fact is he never allowed a moment to show himself to be anything short but a tough guy...

... even though Rei knew better that he was a nice guy underneath. 

But this time he was grumpy, due to having traveled this far with her and the fact he had to 'babysit' her. "Can't believe I had to do this..." Ryuji grumbled, his hands in his pocket. 

Rei walked behind him and sighed as she clung to the straps of her 'backpack'. "You heard what Mom said. You wanted to have crab country bowl-- i need snow white crab and I can only get it here. If I have to go this far, 'you have to take me'. " Rei said with a firm tone to her brother-- who was pretty much twice as tall as she was. "Do you want crab for dinner?" 

Ryuji didn't answer but pouted-- which you knew he was defeated. "I want to have crab for dinner please..." he replied. 

"Okay then, " she said, "Then just help me get it out of the market and we can go home." 

As they walked, Rei caught the soft sound of a snicker from her backpack. "Hehe... who would have guessed who was the older sibling, yo?" 

Rei fought the urge to laugh herself and just squeezed the 'strap' of the backpack--- which turned out to be an oddly shaped creature. Sure, no one would think twice of a pre-teen kid with a funny looking backpack in the shape of a cartoon critter. Except this one wasn't a stuffed animal. 

It was completely still except for the occasional blink of his eyes, a yellow fuzzy critter with clothes of a vest, jeans and odd-audio speakers along its body and limbs. It's 'ears' were used as straps for her backpack. 

Rei rolled her eyes. "Musimon... please, don't you cause trouble too," she commented. 

"Hey, I'm on your side," Musimon said in a whimsicle whistle, "Your brother is the one wound up more times than a turn-table." 

Rei chuckled again-- Musimon always able to make her laugh when she needed it. 

Hopefully they wouldn't be out longer than an hour, and then she could get to cooking dinner.

The trip was going smoothly-- till some guy bumped into Ryuji. The initial shout was 'Alright, what the hell?" And it was that moment that Rei knew it was all gonna go south from there. Ryuji fell flat on his butt while Rei was a safe distance behind-- and he just grew a scowl that really was never a good sign.

"DUDE! That's my line, yo!" Ryuji shouted, jumping to his feet with great skill. HIs time on a skateboard made him more durable than most. "Da hell you think you're doing? You drunk off yo ass?"

The stench of him made it clear that was the case-- though Ryuji probably had not known it. Rei on the other hand was just rattled. With her too-long sleeves, she clung to her brother's arm to try and get him to stop. "Ryu, stop it. Don't start picking a fight again... least of all with an adult!"

Even Musimon sighed, able to read Ryuji's mind as if it was a book. "Here we go again..." he whispered, more to himself than Rei.

Rei glared back at the stranger, the seemingly more mature one of the pair of siblings.

Rei didn't like this man for his rather drunken attitude, but Ryuji's attitude wasn't improving matters. It just how her big brother was-- when confronted, he didn't know how to give up or back down. "Pick a fight?! You're the one fricken crashing into people, fool! How about you act like the adult here and admit your own faults, yo!"

Musimon rolled his eyes behind Rei-- but soon caught sight of the odd shape of another Digimon-- A solarmon from a nearby ally. His eyes widened slightly, seeing the odd creature. Though he couldn't go anywhere, partly cause Rei had a hold of his ears as backpack straps, he just silently waved a hand to Solarmon, to give a simple hello.

Ryuji cracked his knuckles as he shouted at the drunken foreigner. "A good Ryuji-Rap-Beat-down will sober you up, yo!" he said and drew his fist back to---

--- get his ear grabbed by his little sister who jumped up to catch him. "YEOW!! OW-OW-OW-OW-Ow-Yo!" Ryuji cried out. Rei's face was red between upset and embarassed as she pulled her brother's ear to get him to stop. "Ow-- Rei, come on! Knock it off!"

Musimon used all his self-control to not laugh, his lips tightly sealed as Rei gently walked on away-- her simple pull causing Ryuji to follow him.

"Ne-san, if I have to explain to mom why the police brought us home again, I'll stuff the crab down your throat," she said. Doing her best to ignore the drunk man. It was best for them to just defuse the situation as best as possible. "Just let it go..."

As Rei passed the man, he could get a good look of Musimon on her back-- his form shaking not from her movement, but his contained laughter, while Ryuji was dragged along by his ear and his whining to get Rei to stop.

Rei had dragged Ryuji as far as the next market where they had to go, and then she finally let go of his hearing. "Yeow-- ow ow," he whined till she finally let go. He held on to his ear, feeling pain. "Damnit, Rei... that stung, yo."

However, Rei just gave Ryu a crossed look with her hands on her hips. Though her appearance was small and hidden behind her choice of attire, she glared daggers up at her big brother. "You deserved it! Look, I am not gonna risk you causing trouble again and getting into a fight. Remember how bad Mom grilled you when that happened last time?"

The scolding from Rei made Ryu stop his whining and straighten up. He showed a pained look on his face, realizing his sister was right. "Yeah..."

"I won't let you put me through that again, alright? You got to learn to pick your battles better," she said firmly, a term she often remembered from the back of her mind.

"Y-yeah, you're right, Rei. I'm sorry," Ryu said and hung his head low. "I wasn't thinking..."

It was one of those rare moments that her big brother actually listened to her and wasn't the brat he acted out to be. She finally smiled again, calmed that the risk was over. "Okay, so let's just get the food we need and head home. I won't be long if you want to wait--"

"Actually," Ryuji interrupted, holding a hand up, "I'll get it. I owe you one, so I'll buy the food. Why don't you rest for a bit and chill out, okay?"

Rei was happy to get a break. "You sure? YOu do know what I need to make it?" She soon reached into her pocket and took out the scrap of paper of ingredients, along with the yen she needed to buy it.

"I'll be fine, yo! Leave it to me," he said then looked over to the small section at the end of the street. There was a small park area with a few trees and grass, raised up by a stone wall to add some greenery to the city area. "Just chill there for a few minutes and I'll grab what we need."

NOrmally, Rei knew they shouldn't split up and her to be alone, but with Musimon with her, she doubt it would be anything to worry about. "No worries. Just don't take too long," she said and Ryu ran off to grab the food.

With a tired sigh, Rei reached a nearby bench and sat down. She swung Musimon around her like a traditional backpack and sat with him in her lap. Almost in turn, Musimon sighed as well. "Wow... No wonder your now a Digimon tamer. If you can tame the big guy, there is no digimon you can't tame..." Musimon commented.

Rei's face turned red at her Digimon's words and she gave him a gentle bonk on the head. "Come on... you know Ryuji isn't half as bad as he acts." she defended.

The rushing of the nearby cars were a problem for Rei-- but with Musimon in her lap, he easily kept the ambient sound of the city at bay. His unique powers gave him dominion over sound waves, which he could manipulate however he choose. One of the ways the little guy played around it-- linked up directly with Rei's smartphone, which had some of her favorite music. Musimon easily read the data from it on her person and played some of her music off his speakers in a short-range area hearable to her-- like a mini portable sterio.

While Ryuji shopped for her, she got to rest a bit. She looked up at the sky, relaxing as the clouds swayed by between the gaps of the buildings.

"WOw... the sky is so much better than the digital world, yo," Musimon commented, watching the sky as well.

Rei patted her friend on the head-- but soon her gaze came towards across the street. Where she saw the stranger from before looking in her direction. However, what really caught her attention was the large, gear-like creature behind him as well.

"M-Musimon? Look over there? That man from before-- is that a Digimon with him?" she asked. Musimon snapped in attention and looked across the street. He saw them too, and wondered why they were approaching them. For the moment, the little Musimon kept calm in Rei's lap and waited. If he had to defend her a good Music Hour blast would make them think twice from messing with his tamer.
