[no. your eyes are not playing tricks on you.]

[right there, smack dab in the middle of the entry hall to the manner is a small bundle of green sweatshirt and a light purple skirt. she's got on knee high stockings of the childish patterned variety, and shiny brown leather shoes.]

[and although the child is rather cute herself, there's nothing adorable or endearing about the earwrenching scream she just let out, nor is her face - slightly pudgy but in a babyfat sort of way children under the age of ten are allowed - anywhere near as cute as it normally is, not when her cheeks have been stained a ruddy red by the numerous tears she's seemed to be able to shed since she just found herself here.]

[and yes. upon closer inspection, you MAY realize it's a childish version of Minatsuki Takami. or you may just be haunted by the fact that her big brown eyes are slightly familiar. it's not exactly like either she nor Yoh carries around pictures of what they looked like when they were little and, in fact, most of them were burned.]

[but really. don't think about baby pictures, milk carton missing posters, or children's beauty pagents, especially when she pitches her head back and all but screams: ]

I WANT MY MOMMY! I WANT HER NOW! SOMEONE FIND ME MY MOOOOOOMMY!

[before returning to her tantrum]

[ooc: okay. Mina's seven. pre earthquake. she won't remember anyone she talks to, even Yoh until he can convince her that he's her big brother. she will, however, remember everything when she is her original age again. but until then, enjoy the cuteness that comes with her lot!]

[she paused. and blinked. then scowled, an oddly defiant expression for a little seven year old. but there was an air of innocence around her irritated expression, unlike that which she wore most often in her usual age.]

You're not Yoh. Yoh's nine.

[she spoke with conviction, and an outspoken nature that would disappear in a matter of hours back home.]

And you're - you're big.

And you're small. The Minatsuki I know's fifteen. What the Hell is going on...?

[Yoh's honestly never been more confused. His heart is still pumping adrenaline through his system and it's not helping. The last thing he remembers before appearing here is his father letting out one final gurgling breath before dying, Minatsuki naked and bloodstained on the floor next on his father's other side. They'd exchanged a look then before he could even process the strange expression on Minatsuki's face he was here... what the Hell is going on?]

So you're...not my Yoh. [it seems plausible enough to a child, especially one her age, and Minatsuki shrugged before she...]

[took an actually good look at the supposed big brother and just about started crying. she did manage to choke out: ]

You're hurt!

[He's not entirely sure about that "not my Yoh" thing. But the "hurt" thing catches him off guard. She's not wrong, he is hurt, murder is messy business and his father didn't go down easily. He's got a lot of bruises, some bleeding wounds on his hands and arms, but most of the gore decorating his body isn't his. Not that he's going to tell this innocent Minatsuki that.]

Just a little, I'll be okay.

[she pouts. and takes his hand, making a displeased face for a moment as the drying blood brushes against her own skin.]

But you've got - you've got owwies. You need a bandaid - my mommy will has some! She can fix you!

[Yoh smiles as she takes his hand. She's so young and so innocent. Nothing horrible had happened to them yet. Their mother was still alive, their father had yet to go crazy and start abusing them, their lives were so...normal back then. So happy.]

Is mom here?

[He looks around nervously. As nice as it is to think she's alive for Minatsuki he doesn't want to see her again, it's a frightening prospect. He doesn't want her to know -this- Yoh. He doesn't want her to see how her son's changed, mutated almost, hardened into something so far from the son she once knew]
