Continuation of Kasai Hachirobei's POV:

I eyed over the alley Koto was hiding in and gave it an uncertain look before I glanced around for anyone that would pass me. I sniffed the air- trying to lock onto the familiar scent I've spent my whole life eating. I licked my lips as I caught the familiar scent leading to a man and lady. There's two of them! A couple. Goodie~ Then Koto won't have to hunt for someone if I do this right. I'll play a poor orphan... I started up a few fake tears and walked up to them- giving a longing look. "Mommy? Daddy?" I asked softly and reached for their hands. The woman looked down at me quickly then gasped before she snatched me up and held me in her arms.

"Oh you poor thing," she whispered and brushed my hair out of my face then looked into my eyes worriedly. "Are you lost?"

"You can't just pick random children up off the streets," the man said then shook his head but stopped as soon as she gave him a pleading look. I looked into her eyes and whipped at my tears.

"I- I lost my mommy," I told her as I eyed her over. "You smell like her.... but I don't recognize you." She frowned then rubbed my cheek.

"What does she look like darling?" She asked and started to look around the street for her. "We can find her."

"She has black hair," I told her. "Pretty green eyes... She looks like me and she's real tall! My daddy too... But I don't know where he went..." I eyed everywhere over then. "I miss her..."

"Where did you see them last?" She asked and ran her fingers through my hair as she cradled me to her then.

"Sweetie, you can't get involved like that," the man murmured and went to grab her hand but she lightly smacked his.

"Over there," I mumbled and pointed to the alley. "They told me to wait for them there... but it's been awhile." She nodded then moved towards the alley slowly.

"How long has it been? Are you hungry? I can get you something to eat from a street vendor."

"Since last night," I mumbled and faked a shiver. "It was cold out."

"Oh! You poor..." She paused then before she looked back at the man. "We should take him home with us. Something obviously happened to his parents! He needs someone! He's so young. Please? We can't have our own kids. We could adopt him!" She squished me to her then and kissed my forehead as she watched the man as he frowned and looked me over.

"Fine," he sighed out. "We'll take him home and get him cleaned up. If he becomes a problem, we'll take him to the orphanage." I eyed them over and gave her a loving look before I buried my face into her neck and smelled her.

"Mommy," I mumbled. She giggled and kissed the top of my head as she took me back to the man.

"What's your name?" She asked sweetly and rubbed my back. "I must know what I'm going to call you~"

"Kasai," I told her softly.

"Kasai," she murmured, trying it out before she smelled me. "We'll get you clean and then get you into some suiting clothes for you and buy you lots of toys to play with~" The man chuckled and pulled her close by her waist then gave her a small kiss as he lead her over to a carriage and helped us, giving instructions to the man who had the reins. I giggled a little as I watched them. I'm not sure when I should strike.... maybe when we get to their home... I could get them separately there. She sat down on one side with me then rubbed my head as her husband got in and shut the door firmly behind him. "You're going to love staying with us. We'll make sure that you never get cold and that you get plenty of schooling. You smell like a wizard just like us," she whispered in my ear. "We'll send you to wizarding school~ You'll learn so many new spells and how to control your magic!" I nodded to her before I looked at him and gave him a huge smile. I want him to like me too. I crawled into his lap quickly and wrapped my arms around him. He stiffened and looked down at me before he rubbed my head with an uneasy look then pulled back his hand, looking at it and relaxed.
