He ran into the shop panting and weezing. Of course he would forget to do something until the very last moment, of course his Captain wouldn't remind him to do it. And of course his captain wouldn't hand him the purse to pay for what he wanted until he was leaving for the Senkai gate.

Having caught a bit of his breath Seto glanced about the shop, and then moved toward the counter. "Hello?! Is anyone here?! I'm in a hurry!"

A young man in his 20', an entrepreneur even for his age came out from the back of the shop as he heard someone at the counter. He looked over the man for a brief moment before speaking. "Yes Shinigami-san, how can I help you today?" he said, hands clasped behind his back.

Seto gave a relieved smile and gave his head a small bow to the shop keep. Leaning against the counter ever so slightly, he answered the man in a stern voice, doing his best to imitate Captain. "My Taicho sent me to purchase a communication device, one capable of relaying messages from another plane, back to the City.

"Do you have anything like that?"

The man pondered for a minute, before having a sly grin appear on his face as he entered the back room and shuffled around, pulling out what appeared to be a silver box with something fluttering inside of it. "This is a communication device we sell. The Hell Butterfly inside receives the message, and is sent into the precipice world, coming out at the 12th division headquarters where the main device is at." he said, placing it on the counter. "The device is 15,000 yen." he also added.

Seto stared blankly at the man for awhile after seeing what the device actually was. He frowned a bit and then scratched his scalp roughly. "15,000 yen for a butterfly in a box?

"Isn't that a bit much?" He replied, reaching into his uniform to grab the money purse. "No way you can skim a bit off that? This is a bit of an emergency after all." Or so he was led to believe.

The man rolled his eyes, damn people always asking for discounts. "Fine, fine, 12,500 yen, final offer." he said, pushing the box towards the Shinigami.

Victory!!

"Deal."

Smiling, Seto pulled out the purse put the coin required on the table. Best thing about working for Nobles, they had large coin so such a large price didn't take to long to count out. Once it was all counted out, he slipped the purse back into his uniform and held out his hand waiting for the item to be placed within it.

He hoped Daidouji-Taicho would be pleased.. Seto wouldn't be, that said he wasn't spending his own money at the moment.

The man put the money in his pocket and walked back to his working at the back of his store.
