Izanagi's reply to the question regarding fashion made Umeda sigh, "Yes, I can handle it myself, but I'm asking you because if I pick out what you're going to wear on our little trip around town... I don't want you thinking it looks ridiculous on you. I'm not expecting you to dress up like a geisha for pity's sake..." the kodama replied.
Yes, he was obviously still pissed about Hakase.
So pissed in fact, that he instinctively reached into the inner top of the kimono... looking for his cigarettes.
When he realized that he still didn't have any... the spirit cursed and tried his hardest to just let it all go.
But he needed a smoke... and bad... soon...
Umeda hadn't let Izanagi's comment to Hakase linger long enough for the priest to answer... mainly because he dragged the young man away only seconds later.
"That pudgy b*****d of a priest is really grating on my nerves..." Umeda hissed, tossing his hair to the side to get it out of his face. "I mean honestly! Trying to blame you for the fact that I can't stand that smothering shrine for another damn minute!"
Of course by then, Izanagi was remarking about a taxi... and a cab sounded like the PERFECT distraction.
So, hailing one off the street, Umeda let the young man into the cab first, before telling the driver to take them to the corner of Shijo and Kawaramachi.
(((OOC: No, I was too lazy to post earlier when I was online. PLUS I was getting ready for work at the time. Oh and, I've no idea where they're going. Umeda just had expensive tastes all around.)))

( oh okay :3 So, they are going to Takashimaya. It's a shopping store with well decorated and well stocked nine floors. Biggest and best store there in Kyoto. It has a wide range of traditional Japanese items and is located at, Shijo-Kawaramachi, Kyoto , Japan. Also, they can go to Kyoto Nishiki Market Shopping Mall which is a very nice shopping mall that offers a range of both traditional and modern items. Since Umeda will buy Izanagi a camera, they can go there too. It's just north from Takashimaya. And i think we should talk a bit about what the shikigami is doing in school. Do you want me to play the shikigami's role or I just play Matsuo and you can play the shikigami? )

(((OOC: Got it. I'll try to keep all that in mind. As for the shikigami, it should act exactly like Izanagi. It would be hard to tell it wasn't him... unless someone knew him REALLY well. So Matsuo might be able to tell that he's a fake. Think of the shiki as a perfectly functioning Izanagi with very VERY slight personality quirks. After all, Umeda paid a lot of attention to the way Izanagi acted when they were first around one another. He may not have seemed to, but he did. No doubt the 3 spirits will be able to tell he's a fake though. So, you can play him however you'd like.)))

( I have to apologize O_O There was a war on msn that night. And then I was unable to online after pc crashed. >.<)
Kyoto is a beautiful city with rich traditional japanese culture. You can see almost everyone is wearing a yukata or kodose everywhere. Kids, adults and even the elderly ones.
In the cab, Izanagi had been looking outside the window. This is the first time he visits a big city that still keeps in the tradition and culture.
Of course, they are in the old area. The other side of Kyoto is a busy modern city with high technology and massive buildings.
Izanagi think Takashimaya is an interesting place. Unlike any other shopping store. Takashimaya sells very traditional items and people there are...so out of fashion? Well not all.
There are so many things to see. Izanagi don't know where to start from.
Beside of that, he realize the kodama is attracting bunch of idiots.
"Is that a man or woman?" He heard a man asking his friend about Umeda's gender.

Perhaps it was only Izanagi who saw the kodama's reaction to that whispered question.
Though... maybe everyone saw it...
Umeda couldn't really be sure.
All he knew is that a few seconds later... the man who had asked his friend about the spirit's gender... ran straight into a light post.
Dark eyes glanced over his shoulder, and a wickedly amused smirk appeared on Umeda's face, before he focused once more on Izanagi.
"Does it bother you?" he asked as they walked. "I mean... you're walking about Kyoto with a man who could easily be mistaken for a woman. And yet... you seemed to like my outfit earlier."
A part of Umeda, a darker part, was taking some sort of sick amusement in the notion that Izanagi was interested in him... well, at least possibly interested.
After all, that little ordeal on the young man's couch hadn't been JUST Umeda's doing...
Izanagi had played that game, same as the spirit.
"So... do you ever wonder if I'm a man or a woman?" Noe teased, finally able to get a cab and open the door for his younger charge. "Or have you figured that out for certain yet?"
Umeda could easily become a woman if he wanted... after all, he wasn't human.
Of course, he felt that breasts really got in the way of a lot of things... like archery, which he had enjoyed long ago.
Plus there was the problem of clothes fitting properly... and things just seemed to go far smoother with him being a man.
Albeit a rather feminine looking man...
(((OOC: It's all good. No problem at all, hehe. I can totally understand. Oh, and for the record... atm... I'm kinda buzzed... yay for coconut rum and sprite!)))

((I think I just died all this while @_@ Sorry again...was busy with work and another ''work'' which I had promised my friends that I have to be done. T__T It was...TORTURE!!!! All these weeks D:< I can't live another second! God let me die...!!! *cry* ))
Well, No. Izanagi did not saw Umeda's reaction to that whispered question. Maybe others did.
Though, he chuckled when he saw that man ran into the light post.
Somehow he felt happy when that happened. Actually, Izanagi think the man deserves to be hit by a car at least. He would love to see it happen.
According to Umeda's question, the boy smirked very evily.
"It wasn't you or that outfit of yours bothers me but the way others look at you because you look different. I just feel like pulling their eyes out..."
Izanagi sense Umeda is testing him. But, of what? He is not too sure about that.
Again, a question about the kodama's gender. The boy sighed and then laughing softly.
"You don't remember what you have told me, do you? A spirit like you does not have a fix gender. Which means, you can be anything you want. Am I right?"

Laughing, Umeda sat down next to Izanagi in the taxi. "Good, shows your memory's not rusting if you can remember that bit of information." he smirked, obviously amused. "Yes, I can be whichever I want. I can't turn into animals though... which would be kind of interesting... but I can fly and I don't need to breathe underwater so... I guess there's no added bonuses for being a bird or fish."
Thankfully, before he started talking about this, he had given the taxi-driver his orders and closed the partition between the front and back of the cab, thus giving the two their privacy.
"But it bothers you that I look different and that people stare?" the kodama asked, tapping his chin idly for a moment. "I'd say you were jealous, but that's just absurd, ne?" smirking a tad, he continued.

Izanagi was quite surprise to hear Umeda to talk about such abnormal thing to humans in the cab.
He was worried that the driver could have heard all of it so he had been staring at the reverse mirror to see the driver's emotion and respond.
...Well, maybe Umeda has something like a barrier put on. Since the driver himself does not pay attention at them at all.
The boy isn't surprised with the questions. He was expecting Umeda will ask him some day.
Crossing his legs, he smirked. "Absurd huh...? Yeah, it sound stupid and ridiculous. But that does not mean there isn't a reason or logic behind the jealousy." Directly answering to the second question.
"What if I am jealous, Umeda-san? So what?" He questioned back at it.

Shrugging the kodama looked to the young man at his side. "If you're jealous, then you're jealous. I was just curious."
Okay, so maybe he was more than curious, but the kid didn't really need to know that right now.
Especially after the dreams.
Sighing softly, Umeda's dark gaze focused on the world that was passing them by from the side window. "Look... I'm usually a really good judge of feelings, but sometimes I can't read yours and it aggravates me. So.... I ask questions like that. If you're jealous of me or for me or whatever, it's fine. I just like to know." he smirked. "If it's of me, then I can easily turn you into a pretty young man yourself, you know. And if it's for me... well... I'm sure I can keep any other interested persons away from me for the time being. JUST for you."
Yes, he was teasing... but it was the truth.
Izanagi just had to be completely honest with him... and the spirit would be the same.
After all, he was tired to stepping around the subject... tired of waiting for his damned love interest to realize he DID exist for more than mere convenience...
Then again, he was rather tired of a lot of things lately...
(((OOC: Sometimes taxi's have this plastic divider that can open and close so that people in the back can have a conversation. I don't know if all taxis have it but this one did, hehe. Umeda closed it before he started talking about random things.)))

"If you're jealous, then you're jealous. I was just curious."
Curious? Did the kodama not realize Izanagi's feeling toward him till now?
"Why curious?" That makes the boy curious about it too.
After hearing the answer, he couldn't believe what he had heard.
A kodama can't read a human's feeling? What cause it?
"If it's of me, then I can easily turn you into a pretty young man yourself, you know. "
Of course, Izanagi wouldn't want to be a pretty boy like Umeda. That could be troublesome.
"And if it's for me... well... I'm sure I can keep any other interested persons away from me for the time being. JUST for you."
The last three words made Izanagi's heart bloom. Oh yes! He want that to be real. It will be even better if Umeda can JUST belong to him. But instead of showing his current feeling, he smiled, lowered his head and turn to the window. Then the kodama again.
"Why would you do that for me, Umeda-san? I hope it is not because I am Iemon..."
Izanagi think this is the right moment to tell Umeda how he feels and it is better to not delay it for another day. Doesn't matter if the Umeda accept or refuse...The boy just want an answer.
"To be honest..." He sighed and look down to his hands which currently is holding on his knee. "I want you to do that...For me. But, you got your own freedom to be with anyone you want."
He paused a while and take a deep breath. "The first time I saw you...I have this strange feeling. I feel like...we have know each other long ago. When you tell me I am Iemon and your past with him, I thought that was the reason why I have that kind of feeling towards you. Now, I am not so sure about it...Three days ago, I still tell myself I do not like men..."
Pausing again, he take a deeper breath before continue. "I...really like you, Umeda-san." Great, a confession in a cab! No flowers, no better plans, no present. Man, this is cheap. "I know this is stupid! We know each other lesser than a week and I'm saying such thing to you..."
Izanagi hate himself now. He does not even dare to lift up his head to look at Umeda anymore.
Umeda definitely will refuse him. He know it. And he is prepared to be heartbroken. "I must be sick..." Chuckling, he said while turning his face to the window.
