H-hello?

[For this wondering where in the heck Naoki vanished too, there he is...as a seven-year old, and no tattoos. As opposed to the constantly glaring young man who was always angry, or nervous or neutral around people, he looked confused, maybe a bit frightened. Heck, he even has a friggin jacket as opposed to his tattoos. A smile did form on his face though, Cerberus coming into picture and helping his master.]

T-thank you, Kirby! [Cerberus seemed to facepalm after being called that, but Naoki merely laughed and stared at the book.]

So people can here me? Does anyone know where this place is? I'm Naoki Kashima, and I don't know where my parents are and...well, I still have Kirby here with me! Still...I'm worried...

[Naoki seems to ease out of his fears, riding atop of Cerberus and carrying a jar of bugs, aka his Magatama. He is smiling at least, cheering Cerberus as the creature kept allowing him to travel all over the place. You might see him just about anywhere, from the blacksmith, to the restaurants, to even the edge of the forest too.]

[Wait, what?

Isamu has to stare at the screen for a while to make sure he's seeing things properly.

Oh dear.

He's immediately throwing on his own jacket and heading for the door, journal hanging open in one hand. It can't even be right to leave the... pre-demi-fiend?... alone like this, can it? Surely the demon he traveled with wouldn't eat him...]

Naoki?

Don't go anywhere. Okay, kid?

[He blinked.]

Um, who are you? You seem familiar...

I'm your highly underpaid babysitter. At least for now, anyway.

[Sigh. Obligations.]

That's why you're staying put and I'm coming to get you. Try not to get eaten in the meanwhile.

Eaten? [He stares at Cerberus, and then back at Isamu.] But Kirby here is my friend!

Of course he is.

[Just until he gets hungry, probably. Isamu doesn't trust many of those demons.]

Just keep ten feet away from his mouth at all times. Especially if he looks like he's yawning.

This guy is really nice! I woke up near some wolves, and he beat them all up!

He could always just be saving you for himself.

[Wait.]

He won't eat me, will he?

I don't think so. Kirby seems good at sensing who is bad and who isn't.

[Isamu's not entirely sure that's promising, given his track record.]

Well, should he not "sense" anything, try to keep him in check , would you?

[There's something weirdly familiar about this guy, but Shinji can't quite place it. Huh...]

Are you new here?

I...I think so?

Oh. Um, this place is called Luceti. You're stuck here for now, but I'm sure your parents are fine, wherever they are.

[Of course, he doesn't know anything about them, but he doesn't want to discourage the kid.]

Where would they be in this place?

They're probably not here. That's how it is for a lot of people, at least.

Uh... Where are you from?

They....they arent?

[Way to go Shinji. Now the kid is about to cry and trying to hold it back.]

Naoki-- [Different Naoki as a kid. Splendid.]

Hey.

Hi! [He waves.]

Hello. [...] Who's Kirby?

[The large, one-headed demon Cerberus came onto the screen at that moment, staring at Haruhi. Naoki still smiled.]

This is Kirby!

[Though the demon doesn't seem to like it.]

And you recognize it?!

[Wasn't Naoki originally human though, or something like that. That's odd[

[The fuck? What is with the child epidemic? This is the third acquaintance of his that's been chibified, and Sanji bites back a mutter of displeasure.]

Oi oi, slow down! Who's Kirby? [He didn't catch a glimpse of him yet, having looked at the video feed a moment too late]

[Naoki smiles as the white, one-headed Cerberus comes into view.]

This guy! He wrote his name, but I can't pronounce it, so I call him Kirby!

... You sure you should be hanging with him, kid? And he can write?
