OOC: I didn't even catch that. lol. They said he had to sign so he signed. ^_^' I'm used to the sign outs at work where the parents out their signature and we are in charge of marking the time on a different sheet. lol. Just as well, not sure he could have figured out what time to put down with his limited watch reading skills.

Hiei ducked into the first alley he saw and took a moment to ensure no one was watching before he took to the rooftops. He had dealt with all the human interaction he could handle for the time being. It was time to do something more within his area of expertise. He let himself run for a minute or two just to blow off steam before stopping on the roof of a very tall building and removing the ward from the jagan. A few moments of searching through the bustling city with his enhanced psychic abilities located the familiar demon he was looking for.

'He's moved.' The fire demon noted as he took off towards the energy signature, tying the white cloth back over the jagan as he went. As he neared the location he dropped down into an alley and slowed down as he moved out onto the street again. He came to a stop in front of a cluttered and dusty storefront with a sign that simply read 'Antiques'. It was a far cry from the dingy back alley operation his contact had run ten years ago.

Eying the cramped store, Hiei frowned and took a deep breath to steady the rising nervousness the small space caused. 'I can leave whenever I want.' He told himself firmly, hating the fact that the reminder was needed as he moved forward and pushed the door open with his warded hand. A bell jangled annoyingly above his head as he stopped and waited for his contact to show himself. He had no desire to move further into the cluttered room until he needed to.

"Hello! Welcome!" A chipper voice called out from the back of the store.

"Rinji." Hiei said in greeting as the tall blonde man moved into view.

Rinji grinned, showing sharp fangs that were the only sign that he might have been other than human. "Hiei. Long time no see. I'd heard you went home." Cool blue eyes narrowed as he took in the fire demon's attire. "Hmm...I never would've guessed you'd go native." He said curiously, noting the distinct human look to Hiei's wardrobe.

"Hn." Hiei shrugged. "I need a sword that can be concealed in human clothing." He said calmly, ignoring the blonde demon's implied questions.

Hana bought sushi from her favorite takeout restaurant and ate it alone in the park. Eating one of her favorite foods in such a nice location helped ease her broken heart. She didn't take her full hour lunch however as she had quite a few things she wanted to finish before she went home for the night.

The young woman left the park feeling refreshed but a bit apprehensive about returning to the lab and facing Shuichi. She had decided that her usual avoidance tactic would be the best way to handle the situation if Minamino didn't bring anything up. She hoped that would be the case because she didn't have a plan B if he did.

((Sorry, I wrote this up in the subway and then forgot to post it last night. >.>))
