Grimm Fun

"This is the place..." Shujinkou thought as he stared at a single doorbell. "All I have to is press the button right in front of me."

That action seemed to be easier said than done as Shujinkou hands felt as if they weighed two hundred tons each.

"Come on arms; don't give out on me now. I mean I already came all this way," Shujinkou mumbled. "Just. Got. To. Ring. The. Doorbell."

Just then, the door in front of him opened. It was at that very moment when all the tension in his body disappeared as he stared into the curious purple eyes of a little girl. Her matching hair was pulled back into a single ponytail and her fingers were tightly wrapped around a small bear. Upon closer inspection of the stuffed doll, Shujinkou was surprised to find that it had quite a few stitches running along its body.

"Who are you?" the girl asked.

"Huh? Oh, I'm Shujinkou," Shujinkou calmly introduced himself.

"You're Shujinkou?" the small girl's eyes scanned his body from top to bottom. Her prying eyes invoked a sense of fear in Shujinkou. He could not help but assume that he already made a mistake as the girl continued to visually inspect him. Her inspection soon came to a halt and they once again stared into each other's eyes. Suddenly, a big smile formed on her face. "You're as cute as Yuri described."

"Wha-?!" Shujinkou was taken aback by such a forward response.

"This whole time I thought she was embellishing the description, but nope, she was pretty accurate," the girl continued.

"Um, thanks, uh..."

"I'm Yuki, Yuri's kid sister," the surprisingly bright girl lifted her stuffed toy as far as she could, barely reaching Shujinkou's face. "And this is Grimm Bear. Grimm for short."

"I didn't know Yuri had a little sister," Shujinkou said, slightly mesmerized by the unique looking doll.

"That's not surprising. I mean, she didn't mention you until recent events led to her mentioning you," Yuki said.

Yuki lowered Grimm and gripped Shujinkou's hand.

"Well, let's not just stand out here. Let's head in," Yuki grinned as she led the visitor into her house.

Shujinkou was taken aback by Yuki's bright and forward attitude. He didn't expect it from anyone related to Yuri.

"So, uhm, where's Yuri?" Shujinkou asked.

He knew that it would be best not to interact with anyone too much without her.

"She's busy doing something right now and mom and dad are out. So it looks like I'll have to be your host until then," Yuki giggled.

Closing the door behind them, Yuki wasted no time in leading her guest upstairs and into her room. Toys, posters, stickers... It was all what one would expect from a little girl's room except for one little detail. Every doll and blanket in the room was held together by a plethora of stitches.

"Wow..." Shujinkou muttered. "Someone must have been really mad."

"Not really. I did all of this with a relatively calm head," Yuki casually replied.

"Why?" Shujinkou asked without thinking.

"Because I think it looks cooler that way," bubbled Yuki as she looked down at Grimm.

"Well, it does give the room a unique look," Shujinkou said, glancing around the room a second time.

"Exactly! Anyway, let's play while we wait for the others!" beamed Yuki.
