Into The Rose Garden (Seidou x Kanae/Karren)

Chapter Fifty-two - Madam

What have this family planned, where are they going? Seidou leaned towards Kanae, politely asking to roll down the window, in which case Kanae rolled his eyes and just agreed to it.

Seidou rolled down the window, letting his head out as he felt the wind against his face and as his hair flow with the wind. Turning his head slightly to Kanae, the male began asking the real questions. "Hey Kanae, where are we going to exactly?" Mirumo laughs at the young male's question. 

"You don't have to ask Kanae that, Takizawa. We're going over to an acquaintance of Shuu's, for...some odd reason." The young male tilted his head slightly. "What kind of acquaintance, are we talking about here?" "...They know each through food, I suppose." Causing Seidou to gulp harshly. "F-Food...?" Making Seidou slowly roll the window back up.

Kanae scoffed. "What is it Seidou, can't you seem to understand the fine tastes of true cuisines?" "If 'true cuisine' equals what I think it is...I'd rather stick to eating nothing." Causing a concerned look from the older male, as he shifted his eyes. 

"Takizawa, you have been eating though...haven't you?" Seidou puts on a smile, trying to ease the male's worried tone. "Sure I have, I'm fine. I was just joking around." Only he wasn't actually joking. But he couldn't just admit that, in fact the last time he ate was...six days ago, but it wasn't very much and it had to be in private. He didn't know where all their meat came from, and it was from a person!

Eventually, the limo made a stop to a rather nice looking home. Not as big as the Tsukiyama household, but still rather elegant. Shuu opens the door of the passenger's seat, while Matsumae got out through the driver's seat at the other side.

Shuu smiles softly, crossing one leg over the over, as he gently knocked on the window of the vehicle. "Come on everyone, we can't keep a hostess waiting." Mirumo nodded to the others. "He's right, come on."

And so, in an organized file, they head towards the home. With a gentleman knock, Shuu awaits for the female, taking a little longer than normally expected. But she did eventually make it to the door, opening it as she huffed, as if she was struggling with something. But once she looked up, her expression sunk.

"Oh no, get out of here!" Shuu chuckled lightly. "Now is that anyway to treat an old friend?" "Old friend...? No 'old friend' would trick anyone into doing the things you've made me do!!!" Shuu turned to the others. "Give us a minute..." In which they back up, leaving Shuu and Maiko Abe alone.

"Abe, I did let you know ahead of time I would be coming over like...three days ago." "And I have forgotten ALL ABOUT IT, AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN KEPT THAT WAY!" Shuu rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, you did seem rather...upset when I called." Shuu sighed. 

"Anyway, I really do have someone for you to meet." Abe snorted. "Are you talking about Mr. An? Don't bother, I've just met him, and he's coming over with some-!" "Who in the world is 'Mr. An'? No, I'm talking about a new servant of mine...he's a unique human, and I'm sure you'll grow quite fond of-!" 

Abe scoffed. "No thanks, I'm not doing human pets anymore...I'm done with that." She said the last part sadly, while Shuu wore a disgusted expression, offended by her assumption. 

"What, I would NEVER give him away like that. He's a good servant, and...a fine friend. No, Abe...maybe you should just meet him yourself." Abe scoffed, crossing her arms questionably. "Where is this going...?" "I'm leading up to something, trust me. But first you should meet him."

Abe shook her head. "No, absolutely not! I've had enough of your nonsense, and I don't wish to get myself into trouble! Especially with all of your-!" Shuu turned his body, revealing an unfocused Seidou, who at that point was sheepishly talking with Matsumae and Mirumo.
