Izanagi groans. "Fine! Do what you want..." Afterall, he has no prove that he is not Iemon. If he is not Iemon, the kodama will find out one day and leave him alone. But, in the other way, it is not bad to have somebody to accompany him around, in this silent house. "Just 3 rules. No peeking, no touching and no nagging. I hate that."

I mean, thats none of their business. we use any language we want in fanfics. its our freedom.))

Laughing, Umeda nodded. "Then I've got three rules of my own, kid. If you don't like them... well... you'll lose a little of your protection." he smirked darkly. "Believe me when I say that those little ghosts from your school will HARDLY protect you against the big bads out there."
He held up one finger.
"First rule, I smoke. Get over it. Not much of a rule but hey, it's how I am. If you prefer a kiseru, I can smoke that. Wouldn't be the first time."
Second finger.
"Next rule, if I'm not there, don't go looking for me. A kodama DOES have other things to do every now and then."
And he held up a final finger.
"Last rule... My name is Umeda. Try and remember it."
(((OOC: According to them, I should tailor my story to fit their tastes because if people likes to read fanfics with Japanese, they should go read them IN Japanese. Which is ridiculous. Think of all the character quirks you lose when translating EVERYTHING?! Lockon's trademark "Oi!" would be gone, as would the ever popular, "Yare yare..."!!! I had another member of the comm msg me and say that they understand my frustration and that somehow the fandom has become rather full of hate and anger lately. Mainly if you don't ship their way. I guess because I paired Lyle and Anew together, it angered anyone who hates non-shounen ai pairings... that could have brought it on too, now that I think about it... even though that pair was COMPLETELY canon...)))

(( xD They can't understand and never will understand. I think they are not really into the story and character themselves. I see you talking about Lockon so I guess the anger starts from your gundam roleplay? And about lyle and anew o.O Lol!!!!))
"They are not my bodyguards, they are my friends." He clarify his relationship between the three spirits. "And second, I'm not worry about what brand you smoke, although I hate smokers. But..." Izanagi walk into his parents room, getting something to the kodama. He bring a box back to the kodama and toss it on the floor. Lots of branded cigs that is collected by his father. "Here...If you manage to finish all these cigarretes before my father comes back. Take it as present." He rubs his head, not sure if he is doing the right thing. But he doesn't want to see his father smoking to death either. "A kodama won't die from such amount of cigarrette, right...Umeda-san?"

(((OOC: Oh no, has nothing to do with the RP. No, it had to do with my fanfiction. I write a lot of fanfics, mainly Lord of the Rings, but I've begun branching out into Shounen Ai types from Gundam 00, Ouran High School Host Club, and Tsubasa. I had posted one Gundam 00 story, in a Gundamm 00 LiveJournal Community, that took me about six months to write, and the only comment I got was a flame about how the Japanese in the story "ruined" it. Then I got someone who said they loved it, only to turn around after I said thank you, and basically laugh in my face saying that they basically hated it as well. So I ended up deleting the story, posting my outrage, then leaving the community. I'm hoping the mods will handle it and then perhaps I can actually join again. Apparently I'm not the only one they've been flaming. As for Lyle and Anew... they're a couple in my head. But a lot of people like to pair him with Tieria because of earlier series events which I won't say cause that'd be TOO spoiler-y, hehe. But the story was basically about Lyle and Anew, and Tieria and Neil. I just kept the first scene in the story in strict Japanese because the performance by Miki-san in the anime was so moving that I didn't want to touch the dialogue at all. I didn't even want to translate it! And that was really the source of their flames... all because I love Miki-san's work so much that I didn't have the heart to mess with it.)))
~ ~ ~
Umeda nearly giggled.
NEARLY.
"It isn't a brand, baka." he smirked before standing up from the desk, only to have a box of cigarettes fall to the floor in front of him.
Noe knelt down, picking up the box before smiling.
The look was somewhat nostalgic... and yet... sad.
"A kiseru," the kodama spoke as he looked through the different brands, "is a pipe... a very old pipe, that was smoked before cigarettes." he didn't look at Izanagi however.
His usual dark condescending gaze was troubled somehow.
"No." Umeda eventually spoke, finally looking back to Izanagi. He handed the boy the box. "A kodama like me won't die from something like this. Unless, I suppose, I didn't return to my tree from time to time... then I might." shrugging, he leaned against the desk now, one of the cigarette packs from the box in his hand. "But if you don't believe me, hold onto the box for me."
He had a feeling Izanagi would hold onto it.
After all... Iemon had once given Umeda a box of tobacco for his kiseru... then had asked him that very same question.
Thus, the kodama had returned the box to Iemon, letting him know that he could regulate it if he wanted.
Because back then...
Iemon hadn't believed him either.

"Kiseru isn't a brand? Oh...I didn't know it." Izanagi feel a bit embarassed for not knowing. He pouts a bit when Umeda-san ask him to hold on the box for him. "What? I gave them to you few seconds ago and now you want me to hold it for you? I'll leave it here, you keep it. These are nothing but rubbish to me." Izanagi believe a kodama won't die so easily with just sucking these rubbish. Afterall, cigs are made of tabaccos. And tabaccos are some kind of plant, right? A kodama is a plant spirit, he should be able to purify the mild poison in the cig...Still, Izanagi is just simply guessing. Thanks to himself always dozing off in the class, he has no knowledge at all.
(( =_= you...quit? there must be more serious than i thought.))

(((OOC: I don't like people insulting me, and so I tend to try and shy away from haters. I'm not really one to get angry over stupid stuff either, so it's usually something really bad. I quit more because the two flamers were then posting on my profile more flames, than anything else. Also to send a message to the mods that they were having some serious haters in their ranks. Communities on LiveJournal should be about sharing a fandom, not being elitist when someone does something creatively that you don't like. Apparently, another member has been having the same problem, but in the form of flaming hatred because she enjoys a different shounen ai pairing.)))
~ ~ ~
"Well, seems you somewhat passed my first test." Umeda replied, setting the box on the desk. "See... Iemon did something similar for me once. Only, he kept the box."
Noe winked at Izanagi before stretching his arms up over his head.
"So. I do hope you have a spare bed somewhere in this place. After all, I'm not going to pop over to my tree and back every time I need to sleep."

Iemon did the same thing before? No way! But it is lucky he didn't keep them for Umeda-san. So...that proves he is not Iemon, right? Hearing the kodama will staying here tonight, Izanagi welcome him as a guest. It is really nice...to have some accompanying. Think of spare rooms, they do have a guest room but then it has become the store room. And it is impossible to him to let out his parents room to Umeda-san..."Well, if you don't mind, you can have my room. I'll sleep downstairs."
(( o_O why arent they banned?))

(((OOC: Probably because the mods aren't watching the community like they should. I'm in a Slayers LJ Comm that those people would have been tossed out instantly from if they'd pulled that there.)))
~ ~ ~
Raising one eyebrow, Umeda shook his head, "No thanks. I'll steal the couch downstairs." the kodama headed toward the door before glancing over his shoulder at Izanagi. "So, what do you mortals do for fun before bed, hmm?"
If only he'd known how suggestive THAT sounded.
(((OOC: Oyasumi! I'm heading to bed methinks.)))

"Wait!!!" He stop Umeda-san before he heading downstairs. Guest is still a guest. How can Izanagi let his guest sleep on the couch? "The couch is mine..." He don't know what else to say. "And the mortals watch TV, listen to music do their homeworks or works...Some of them do stuff..." He is shocked with his last answer and slap his mouth hard. Izanagi! What the hell are you talking about. This feeling is worse than being haunt by ghosts. He cracked up, not knowing what else he can say. "Forget what I said and just...use my room. I cannot let my guest sleep on a couch." Covering up his feeling, he take some clean clothes from his cupboard, his towel and a blanket. "Oyasumi..." He find his face going slightly pink when he wish Umeda good night before hurry walking downstairs.
(( v.v im sorry for what happen to you...and good night. sleep well. smile woot lets have some triangle love biggrin ))

Sighing, Umeda really didn't have a say in the matter.
He looked at the kid's bed... rumpled... and wondered if he'd even be able to get any sleep.
It's been a while since he had rested outside of his sakura... and this room really wasn't ideal to his tastes.
Putting his hands on his hips, Noe longed for the days when a futon on the floor and the warmth of tatami mats were his ideal napping place.
Made even more ideal because usually... he wasn't alone in the napping.
"Kids..." the kodama scoffed, pulling a cigarette from one of the random packs and lighting it.
It was a nice brand... and expensive one actually... and tasted a whole helluva lot better than the s**t he usually smoked.
Blowing a small trail of smoke out, Umeda moved to the window in Izanagai's room and opened it up.
The sun had set not long ago, so obviously it was too early to go to bed, and yet Izanagi seemed to want nothing to do with Umeda so...
The kodama wasn't going to force the kid to converse with him.
Sitting on the windowsill, one leg dangling down to the floor, the other bent and helping to hold his back against the side of the sill, Noe simply watching the lights of the city.
Being on the second floor of a house wasn't too much different than being in his spirit form, nested in the branches of a sakura.
Everything looked the same, anyway...
(((OOC: I'm working on it, hehe. I've got *thinks* 12 RPs in Guilds alone, not counting PM RPs. So I try and post to them in the order I open the window.)))

(( ^^ Thats alright. I know you got lots of RP to do razz I dont really mind. ))
After a nice bath, Izanagi has nothing else to do...like usual.
He doesn't even want to switch on the TV. It has nothing to watch at this time now.
And he meant nothing to watch on TV, it means the show and series sucks.
Rolling on the couch, he wonder what the kodama is doing. Wait...what the hell his face is doing in my mind anyway. As he think about it, he has goose bumps. This is so not happening! It couldn't be...could it be? He sat up, thinking about 'this' seriously.
Blinked, suddenly he scream out loud, not as girly as we thought though. [[xD]] "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get out! Get out! Get out!" Messing up his hair. He can't breath and his face has gone completely red. Throwing his pillow on the floor, he stomp on it. "Unbelievable! This is not happening!"

It was an almost automatic reaction.
Suddenly Umeda was standing in Izanagi's living room, having simply for his body into spirit form, slipped through the floor, and solidified himself right in front of Izanagi.
"What's..." but then when the kodama noticed that there was nothing wrong except a nearly beaten up pillow... he frowned. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Umeda asked, crossing his arms over his chest, obviously ticked.
