Kouhei held on tightly to the handles of his stroller, he had to endure the whining of his daughter. The w at he put on the belt was uncomfortable to her, it was too tight for her... apparently. He got a few glares every now and then from people, it wasn't until an elder person broke the awkward straing contest and would bluntly riddicule him for having a daughter at such a young age. At this, Kouhei would secretly laugh in his mind, what did they know about children and love?
"SHHHH. This is a library" A large nosed woman spat at Kouhei as if to suggest for him to silence his daughter's constant whining. Kouhei felt like telling the woman off, but he felt it was better to ingore her.
"Okei, darling, tell me if you see anything you like..." He said as he pushed her stroller to the children's section of the library. He bend down and released her from her "pain". Mimiko seemed to have ignored him. "Well, tell me if you see anything..."
His daughter seemed to rebel, she didn't say anything. Maybe it was the damned belt on the stroller. Mimiko began to run from him, he didn't know whether she wanted to play a game or she something that sparked her interest. "What is it Mimiko?" again the ingoring, his daughter had some sort of an attitude... like father like daughter. He knew he had no other choice but to run after her, so that was what he did.
"No running in the library. You should keep better control of your chil-" Kouhei heard an old frail man spout, Kouhei could have really cared to comment the man or even give a second thought. He just kept his attention on Mimiko. In the distanc he could see his daughter's head sudden;y collide on the edge of a table. Then there were crowds. All he could hear were mutterings, then the cries of a young girl... Mimiko. He pushed past the crowd.
"Don't worry, dear, daddy'd here." he put his arms around her.
"This is ridiculous. What kind of father are you, letting your spoiled children run around like that?" Said a plump woman.
"This is what you get when children watch over children. See, things like this happen!" Snapped a short man with a rather large nose. "Leave these things to adults!" Kouhei didn't look at the man,he just checked if there were any injuries on his daughter's forehead, thank heavens, there weren't.
"Would you relax? I'm trying my best as a father. Things just happen...." He retorted.
There was a sudden erruption of whispering and muttering, and pointing... The short man kept spitting out rude things about Kouhei and how he was a terrible father. Out of nowhere a security guard pushed passed the crowd. "What's going on here?" he said raising his voice. People began to point and yell at Kouhei as if he were some sort of a criminal. The short man, as nosy as they come, began to explain to the guard about what had happened, even tweaking the story abit. All Kouhei could do was hold onto his daughter, he didn't know what was going to happen.
The guard began to forcefully grab Kouhei from his daughter. Kouhei could feel Mimiko's tiny arms cling to his shirt. "Please, don't take me from my daughter...I didn't do anything wrong, if you'd let me be so kind to explain...!" Kouhei began to twist under the man's grip, he pulled the shirt of a random person, "This is my witness." He lied, "they saw everything, in fact, this is my cousin from America.. Anyways, off topic, but they saw everything. From the moment I stepped into this godforsaken place till now that you are holding me..."
He whispered into their ear, "If you quiet down... I'll pay. So, play along..."

i'm a wind-up toy
It was just one of those days... the kind of day when you would peek from beneath your coves and out the window and glare at it. The kind of day when you would just want to throw your alarm clock into a wall for waking you up at such a unhealthy hour in the morning. The kind of day when all you want to do is just crawl inside the covers and bask into that warm delight. And perhaps spend a good few weeks doing it. Well, at least it was such a day for Serenity. The nineteen year old grunted as she turned yet again in her bed. All things considered, at least she didn’t need to sleep in the dorms. Eventually, the lack of will to sleep won and she threw the covers aside and quickly got out of bed. Damn her stupid body for memorizing her waking hours.
And now that she was up, she had to do what she had to do… the dreaded “s” word. Serenity shuddered at the thought, as she walked lazily to her closed, picking out some random clothing items. Apparently, today’s attire would consist of a black pinstriped vest dress, with a black blouse underneath. The girl nodded in contempt, not bad. A pair of black stockings and her favourite biker boots would do the trick. Oh, and she couldn’t forget the gloves! Black, fingerless gloves were today’s choice. Honestly, her obsession with gloves wasn’t a healthy one.
After finishing all her morning routines, the girl finally headed out. Still, she wasn’t in the mood to go to the library just yet, so she wandered around for a while, with a sleepy look on her face. Finally, after a while of doing exactly nothing, and a bucket of coffee, the female decided that it was time to stop lazing around and do something. She had some serious cramming to do, if she wanted to pass the upcoming exam (ok, not that serious, but she wanted to be ready for it).
Don’t get her wrong. She’s actually a good student, it’s just that she doesn’t like to work that much, especially when it means she has to get up early. Sighing, Serenity made her way into the library and settled at one of the small tables. She was just beginning when some old guy shouted something about no running… looking up, she saw a little girl running from (she assumed it was the case for the guy was chasing her) a guy that was around her age. “Honestly, let the kid run. You’re bothering more people than she is” she muttered but went back to her current task at hand.
It wasn’t long before she was interrupted. Again. She knew she should have stayed in bed today. The running kid had collided against the table she was sitting at. Sighing, she closed the book and got up in order to see if the kid was alright. And that was when things really started to escalate. First of all, the surprise of the day. Turns out that the guy she’d seen earlier was actually the father of the little girl. And then, the angering moment of the week, the mob turning against the poor guy. Not to mention the security guard that was acting as if the guy was a psycho.
That temper of hers was taking over, and she was about to tell everyone to just shut the hell up when suddenly she was yanked forward. What the…? All of a sudden she was his witness? And his cousin from America? “WHAT?” she exclaimed loudly after hearing such things, really thinking that it had been best of her to have stayed in bed. However, the rant she was about to start on pulling strangers into one’s mess was silenced as her asked her to quiet down and whatever rational part that existed in her being forced her to clompy with the request.
“you’re just lucky I actually saw the whole thing” she replied, using the same tone he had. Now, all she had to do was hope that the security would back down and not throw them away. Because that would be troublesome.
in an up-down world

Kouhei did not say anything further, hoping that the girl would say something to the guard that would make him leave him be. All he wanted to do then was go home and rest, leave the servants to take care of Mimiko... Maybe even go someplace else with his daughter. It really didn't matter. Anywhere but this damned place.
"Huh? Oh yeah, see you heard her. She saw everything!" Kouhei said with a smirk on his face. He crossed his arms over his chest arrogantly, glaring at the taller man.
"Okei, whatever. What happened here to make this uproar?" the man said as if he just wanted to get this over with and out of the muttering, whining crowd.
"Well, my daughter just seemed to think this was the place for tag... She insisted on playing... I, on the otherhand, knew it was a bad idea.She's a kid, afterall. What more do you expect from a three year old? She just lost her balance and hit her head. End of story." Kouhei yelled at the man, yelling always got the point across. If not yelling, then violently smacking someone was the way.
"Is that what happened? Everyone is making such a big deal about it. The little girl seems fine..." The guard began, while scratching his head.
"SHE COULD HAVE A BLOOD COT IN HER HEAD FOR ALL WE KNOW!!!" The whiny man shreiked.
"Are you a doctor?" Kouhei snickered, the man was a fool. What unintellegent being would mess with one of Yuugiri's most rich men. Kouhei noticed that the guard seemed to have ignored the whining man. "And your cousin saw everything... Okei, case closed. You all can go about your businesses now..." He walked off, obviously not caring about anything, he just wanted to stop the commotion.
The crowd still lingered for a while, they were STILL complaining about what had happened. Some people who were once raging with anger and shouting names at Kouhei, who were now biased and thought that he was a victim. There were a few who whispered cruel things about Kouhei or took the opportunity to spit or tell him off for causing a ruckus in the library, one of which was the whining man.Kouhei couldn't help but stick his tongue out when the middle-aged man turned to continue what he came to do.
The crowd was finally gone. Kouhei bent down to pick up Mimiko who was stiffling. "Don't do that again..." he strictly stated to her, "Want to lose your daddy is that what you want? I'm all you have." the young girl shook her head while sticking her head in her father's chest. It seemed she was tired and wanted to rest.
"So, how much do you want to be paid? I don't have alot of moneywith me right now. But, if you want... I'll buy you a book or something." He said turning to the girl, "Were you studying? I'm sorry about all the ruckus, but if you want I can help you study since I am kind of lazy to give you money..."

Kouhei turned from the girl that seemed to be the same age as him and whom he had told to pretend to be his cousin from America, he sighed heavily. "Whatever. I'm not going to bother with you and our little money deal, I'll pay you back some other way. Do you like Italian meals? I here there is a resturaunt nearby" He began to walk away from her, hoping she'd follow him. "If you have a problem with studying environment, I hear food helps."
"Hey, lady.." He said seeing a woman with brown curly hair sitting and skethching, every now and then looking at his daughter. He stopped in his tracks. What do you think you are looking at my daughter like that? Wanna start another fight? What am I too young to have a kid? Am I too unresponsible?" Clearly, Kouhie was in need of some refreshments, he was a little worked up from what happened early.
"Anyways, would you ladies mind if I take you out to dinner?" Kouhei thought that both the women were equally beautiful. Of course, none could replace his dear wife, who Kouhei would like to believe was in Heaven. He began to rub Mimiko's head, "My daughter enjoys Italian cuisine, so we'll be going someplace Italian..."
Kouhei made his way towards the Children's section of the library where Mimiko's stroller was, he was too tiredas of now to even pusha stroller. "Who want's to push Mimiko?"

The girl dressed in black sighed as she saw the guard walk away. Really, what a waste of her time, but at least everything had turned out well. Well, almost everything… thanks to the incident, whatever little will she had to study had been completely lost. Not like she cared much, but she had got up early for nothing. “Bunch of idiots” the English words were muttered under her breath, even though she didn’t care much whether she was heard or understood at all. The guy had actually nailed something, she was from America. Well, theoretically, she was only half-american, but it didn’t matter much.
“Never mind the money” she replied, starting to gather her things “I don’t really need it… besides, I never really had it in me to study in the first place”
She eyed the little kid as she followed the guy. Sure, the little girl seemed fine and all, but after a collision like that… of course that she was tired from the running, nothing else. Anyway, back to the current topic, yeah food sounded good as she seemed to recall she hadn’t ate a thing since breakfast and that had been a long time ago.
“Sure, food sounds nice. I’m Serenity by the way” she replied right before Drusila arriving next to them. Surprise of the day number two. She was that Dursila… wow.

Kouhei ignored what the other girl said, it seemed she, too, did not really care about the deal he had offered from before. Kouhei held his daughter in one arm while having his other hand holding the stroller, he bent down and put Mimiko in her stroller. He listened to the woman named Drusilla speak.
"So you are the fashion designer I always hear of. Drusilla Silverheart... I love your design, they range from victorian to futuristic. I like that." He happily said while smiling. "It's an honor to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too Serenity Yume. It's a pleasure to meet such fine young women. I apologize for not intorducing myself properly. I have a temper, you see." said Kouhei, "My name is Kouhei Kato, this is my daughter Mimiko."
Kouhei began to push the stroller, Mimiko resting in it. "So, Serenity, you must be a student at the university, correct? I go to university, as well. I'm studying both law and neurology, but I plan to become a detective." He was hoping that Drusilla and Serenity would follow him out the hell hole of a library. He just wanted to eat and drink, the library ruined his mood of getting a book for himself and his daughter.
"So, we are going to a Italian resturaunt. It's all settled. Do you ladies mind if we take my limosine?" He asked. "You girls can sit back with Mimiko."

"so u have heard of me and i'm glad u like my designs, i have been working on a design" she smiled friendly she like the thought of going out to eat and then she can show Kouhei the outfit she was working on for his daughter. She thought to herself that he to be a nice man and she could alway ask if he needs a babysitter sometime that she will watch his daughter for him.
"Italian resturaunt sounds great and i don't mind taking ur limo i'll just tell my driver to go home and relax and if u want i'll push the stoller" She said nicely.

Serenity nodded some "Yeah, I'm studying biology and anthropology" she mentioned casually as she stuck her tongue out at Mimiko "that's cool, being a detective. I'll probably end up digging corpses for a living" although it didn't quite bother her.
She wondered how could he manage a kid at this age. Sure, she found them cute and all, but nah, kids weren't for her... at least not in the near future so she was glad when Drusila offered to push the stroller... honestly, she would look and feel awkward doing so. "Yeah, sure the limo sounds good" after all, it wasn't as if she actually had any other way to go, at least for the time being.
