"There names are Kura and Shirigume," the co-manager explained.

..............................

"Here comes your assistance now," Genta called to his fellow tub users as the 3 lion cubs approached.

What can we do for you? Nuka asked looking at Kura ' We can get you whatever you want Vitani agrreed...

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #262 on:** January 03, 2012, 04:44:05 AM

Even Shirigume was surprised with who responded to the request letter.

Kura grabbed for his kimono by the tub and wrapped it around him. "Are you happy now?!" he snapped.

Shirigume shrugged.

"Something going on over there?" Charlie called from his bath. He couldn't see what was happening.

Kura and Shirigume.. " we got all sorts of food here, well except breaded human rings.. Sneed keeps stealing those..

"Yeah, Sneed does have an appetite for anything human..." Kovu nodded, "But we'll help you out with anything you need."

The kirin and kitsune looked at each other, then Kura reached into his kimono and pulled out a piece of paper. It was a photograph of a little human boy.

"I hope for your help in finding this child," he said, handing over the photo to the nearest lion. "His name is Riki, and his spirit wandered off soon after his death. I've tracked his scent to this place. If you won't mind keeping an eye out for him if he is in fact still here. I will gladly pay for it, for his safe return..."

Kovu examined the picture. The youngest of Zira's children did his best to memorize faces and names, and there perhaps was something slightly familiar about this kid.

"We'll see what we can do," the dark furred cub assured, "Hopefully most of the bigger guests deem him too small to eat..."

"Speaking of," Genta called, "I'll take an eighth helping of fish!" the tiger sumo smirked.

"Anything else we can get?" Kovu asked the bathhouse guests.

Nick22 · **Reply #268 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:29:54 PM

we'll send the order to the kitchen " Nuka assured. as Vitani filled a nearby tub with fresh hot water from the boiler..
Ko was trying to keep an eye on the huge lion tail under the massive pile of blankets and pillows..

As much as Al didn't want to admit, he was scared beyond belief, not only of what the giant cub could do to him but also the ways Zira would punish him if he messed this up. He was sure that if it came to that, Marian wouldn't be able to talk Zira into letting it slide.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #270 on:** January 16, 2012, 03:55:57 AM

Kura shook his head and bowed it in appreciation. "Nothing else for me, domo arigato."

Skirigume snapped her fingers when she thought of something. "Actually, my friend here and I would like some tea, please."

----------

At the same time, Rosco has just slipped Red's hourglass into the safe he had mentioned earlier...

----------

Red moved his claws away from the spirit to examine his gleaming talons, before placing them back to be cleaned some more. "Hmm...I wonder if the mistress has anything new to snack on..." he contemplated out loud...

tempestwheel · **Reply #271 on:** January 17, 2012, 02:04:45 AM

Yuki, the cat serving Red responded, "I've been told there have been mortals....even humans around the bathhouse, but I wouldn't no where to find them," she admitted, continuing to work on Red's talons, "Though if you want those I'm sure there's going to be competition."

......................

"And more fish," Genta called eagerly, "My compliments to the chef."

"Wildcat will appreciate that," Kovu nodded, taking the orders. "We'll get you all your requests soon."

...................

"This....is....BIG," Ri frowned, not wanting to see the entire giant cub under the various blankets.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #272 on:** January 18, 2012, 01:31:42 PM

"Well, just standing around isn't getting us anywhere" Al spoke.

---------------
Outside the bathouse, someone else approached the enterance.

She seemed like a normal human girl about the age of fifteen to ninteen years old. Her ears however, were that of a wolf and a tail protruded from her backside.

"Ah, another costumer I prosume?" A frog spirit at the enterance asked.

The wolfgirl nodded as she handed what money she had to the spirit.

"Indeed, am I not?" She spoke

"Right this way, miss?"

"Holo".

"we'll be right back," Kovu assured the tubs where Charlie and the others were.

..............................

Down in the boiler room, Sneed's shift had reached the halfway point, meaning he could take a break.

"Sneed going to lunch," the bear yawned to Baloo, and walked upstairs, swearing he could hear a human giggling not too far away.

"This place makes the greatest dishes," Genta smirked, relaxing in his tub. "I'm a frequent customer here."

Nick22 · **Reply #275 on:** January 23, 2012, 06:49:27 PM

I'll be right back, going to check on Ko and Ri.." Vitani said as she headed over to the elevator..
_ UIp to the room the huge mound of blankets and pilows shifted wildly, the cub was starting to stir..
geez.. Ko said, his eyes opening wide..
_

tempestwheel · **Reply #276 on:** January 26, 2012, 02:35:21 AM

"This isn't going to be fun," Ri frowned.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #277 on:** January 26, 2012, 04:28:49 PM

"Well, let's just hope for the best" Al said with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

tempestwheel · **Reply #278 on:** January 27, 2012, 02:20:00 AM

Kovu soon returned with the requested tea and other items the customers in the tubs around Charlie asked for.

"Here you go," Zira's youngest smiled.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #279 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:06:59 AM

While Kura slipped into his kimono, Shirigume politely accepted the tray of tea and placed it down on a nearby table.

"While we have been on the subject," Kura started, "I hope it would not be inconvenient to you if my friend and I venture around the place for a while. It should help in finding the boy faster."
