Can I do one?!? Can I do one?!? **poings excitedly** Ahem:
That little blond kid, now, the one with the books; Kaito was starting to feel a bit guilty about him. It wasn't because the kami kept 'borrowing' his stuff (after all, the boy was borrowing his shrine, wasn't he?) or anything... but he had returned one late and the poor kid had gotten in trouble with the school library.
Apparently librarians were't okay with 'no, really, the shrine ate my book. No, really.' Librarians must not be religious, thought Kaito irritably, waving away one of the innumerable pigeons that had taken up residence in his shrine's rafters.
So, guilt. Not something he had more than a passing acquaintance with. What did other people/deities/things do to deal with guilt? He shooed away another pigeon. They were really getting bad lately, messing up the floor and everything--
Hmmmmm.....
And so that afternoon he went and had a little chat with a local tengu, who spoke to several of his best crows, who went and checked on the nearest raptor-rehabilitation center. The nestlings there were just about ready to be fostered; Kaito grinned an immaterial grin, shooed away another pigeon, and hoped that the blond kid liked hawks.
