Trickster's Champion

[InsaneTruth]

Kat looked at Sage "both of you are kind very kind thank you," Kat was guessing he wasn't going to b able to be a cat anymore. "Kai will provide me a roof if I am too much trouble," he smiled at Sage's mother.


"Indeed I will sorry I let myself in hope it's not too rude of me," Kai smiled walking in "good to see you feeling better, last time I was over Sage sent me away as you were in bed my lady,"

 

[Ricia]

Sage narrowed her eyes at Kai, "You could have knocked." She said.


"Oooh is this Kai?" She said happily. Emma got up to see Kai and hold out her hand.


Sage shook her head and got out another cup with tea in it.


"We only have two chair's... so you and Kat can sit down, you are our guests after all. And please call me Emma or Mom. Just as Sage said, another flatterer." She said with a smile pulling the chair out for Kai.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai took her hand and lead her to sit instead "guest or no I am still a gentleman ladies come first, my mother taught me well," he smiled at her. "My name dearest Emma, is Kai Shiro Sohma it's an honor to meet you at last,"


Kat smiled and nodded his agreement "I actually prefer to stand makes me feel tall!" he said happily.

 

[Ricia]

Emma smiled at Kai, "Thank you Kai. You two are cute." She said sitting down.


When the tea pot started to ring, Sage pulled it off the stove and turned it off before she poured some tea into the pot and let it sit for a little, "Yeah they are rather cute, also an official pain in my behind."


"Aww how long have you guys been friends?" Emma asked a bit happy.


"Maybe... like 3 days... they have made it very clear they are not going to leave me alone..." Sage said, obviously annoyed. her mother did not seem to fret about her daughter's attitude.


"How sweet. Its about time you found someone who can put up with you." Her mother mused in a joking manner.


Sage laughed, though it was an honest laugh, "Mother, everyone loves me."


Her mother looked like she wanted to say something, but she didn't and just smiled. Everyone loves the Sage she pretends to be. Not a lot of people like Sage, Sage. Her mom proububly thinks these people will actually put up with her. It more like she has to put up with them. Her mom knew Sage was hardened. She didn't love much and she didn't trust anyone. She was cruel to the world as it had been to her. Her mother saw that, and she worried so much for her daughter.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Ah but dear Sage very few people know you, hell my dear I only recently realized you were a woman after all," Kai said with a smile "though I look forward to a long and healthy relationship,"


Kat smiled "me too Sage is awesome! I want to know more about her!" he said happy as always.

 

[Ricia]

"Isn't she handsome?" Her mom gushed a bit.


Sage sighed and started to pour tea into the cups and brought them over to the table, "I'll start dinner. Are you staying Kai?" Sage asked.


"So both of you go to school with her?" Emma asked.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai smiled "actually I am out of school I run a chain of clothing stores and I am setting one up here I met Sage at the fair," he told her "and my dear Kat there does go to school with her though I am afraid he might become a handful for her."


Kat pouted and crossed his arms "will not,"


Kai laughed "and I will be leaving soon," he said

 

[Ricia]

"Ooh, stay as long as you want. Are you and Kat related? Why are you not taking him in? Do you have nowhere to go?" Sages mother asked pleasantly. She had a lot of aspects as Sage.


Sage put on an apron and started to cook.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"because Kat is a handful," Kai laughed "we are... cousins, he comes from a land a way away from here that is alot different,"


"Yeah you have starving monsters here...it's sad," Kat pouted and Kai bust out laughing.


"Kat Cars are a form of transportation like a wagon not a horse," Kai told the boy.

 

[Ricia]

Sage covered her mouth and started to laugh under her breath.


"Monsters? Hardly." Emma said with a low laugh as well, "My my, where do you come from where cars are not heard of?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat smiled "Terrin." he tld her "sage clled it a third world but.... that sounds odd to me,"


Kai chuckled and ruffled KAt's hair fondly.

 

[Ricia]

"Third world? That explains a lot." Emma said pleasantly. "What kind of business do you have Kai?" She asked.


There was a small sizzling sound coming from Sage's direction as she started to cook things up.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I design, create and sell clothing and jewlery," Kai smiled to Emma.


Kat smiled "he's a god!"


Kai shook his head and chuckled "indeed Kat, the kid is a bit gullible,"

 

[Ricia]

Emma seem to stare at Kat or a long while, though she smiled softly at Kat, "You are a very honest kid. I think you will do good for Sage."


Sage shook her head, Honest maybe. Innocent. Not a chance.


"Clothing and jewelry huh?" She said happily, "Sage wares the same thing every day. Although she always looks dashing, I bet she would look cute dressed up in other things." She said in a wondering tone, Sage's mom soon started to pout rather cutely. Sage sighed, but then laughed a bit.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Kai can make her some clothes!" KAt said "oh I bet she is super cute with light curls!"


Kai laughed "I can make her some dress clothing,"

 

[Ricia]

"No... thank you." Sage said bluntly. "I am quite comfortable with what I am wearing..." She said


Emma laughed, "I know you are dear." Though it was not long till dinner was done. Sage placed a few plates around the table. "Gunna eat Kai?" Sage asked.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"No, got to watch my figure, anyway I'll be going want to keep Kat? I'll take care of his upkeep of course," Kai said


Kat giggled "I can go hunt! oh oh oh I can sew to and train dogs,"

 

[Ricia]

Sage glared at Kai, she didn't care if he was a god or not, her food should be eaten. Especially when offered.


Emma laughed and smiled, "He can stay as long as he is polite and holds his own here." She said firmly. "He would have to sleep on the couch, or we can get a cot for Sage's room. Either, Or."


Sage shrugged, "I don't mind either." Kat might end up being the son her mom and dad always wanted. Sage not sure how she felt about that, especially since she had tried a majority of her life to be that. A small bit of jealousy crept up into Sage's chest. It was a wired feeling because she had never felt that. Pushing it down, Sage put Kat into the remaining chair and then put a plate down, "Try it." She told him.


"So much pride you have in your food." Emma said laughing, though she started to eat a bit as well.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai smiled "thank you I'll take my leave now," Kai said and left with a small goodbye.


Kat smiled "Ok!" he took a bite and his eyes flashed "YUM!"

 

[Ricia]

Sage smiled in victory before taking a plate herself and eating while she cleaned. She put left over for tomorrow's lunch away, remembering to make one for Kat as well.


After a bit long of talking, Sage's mother bid them good night, spending a lot of her energy today. With that, Sage took Kat up to her room, "We can train a bit tonight... and I can also teach you how to read and write a bit." Sage said with a small sigh as she closed the door behind her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat wished Emma good night and told her he hoped Nightshade blessed her dreams. "Sage you have alot to learn." Kat told her "i think it will take time... but can you do it?"

 

[Ricia]

"I can do anything I set my mind to." Sage told Kat, "Nothing it out of my reach." She said in a matter of fact. She pulled out a few books and other such things, paper and a pen and threw it down on her desk.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Ok," Kat smiled at her and before she could blink she had a knife to her throat. "if you listen you might end up being as good as me,"

 

[Ricia]

Sage froze, but then let out a small breath and relaxed after a moment remembering she can't die. Though she could still get really hurt. "I really don't want blood on my floor.." She mused.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Kai can clean it up," Kat said "but I wont hurt you, I need my reward for being good," Kat smiled
