grandfather back then."She eyed Ryoga and nodded.
"You look like the face of your grandfather. Even the same type of clothing. If I didn't know better .... Well, he has no fangs."
She smiled.
"It's a shame you missed him. He wanted to get something from the cellar earlier."
Ryoga stopped short.
"Oh, that means he'll be on the road for the next two weeks."
The two Hibikis sighed while Ukyo rolled his eyes.
"Anyway. This tea house is my home and that of my husband. This place can change its location, which is only practical for a man like your grandfather," said Grandma Hibiki dryly.
"Grandmother," Ryoga began.
"Yes, grandson?"
"You never told me exactly how it was back then with you and grandfather. Grandpa was always very brief about it."
The old woman began to laugh uproariously.
"Of course he did. There are some things you don't tell a 5 year old. But now you'd be at an age where you could do that.On that occasion, are you hungry? "
Ukyo and Ryoga both nodded when they realized how hungry they really were.
"Well then!"
Grandma Hibiki waved her arms and clapped her hands three times, as if from nowhere several bowls with food and drinks materialized in front of them.
Ryoga grinned when he looked into Ukyo's face.
* Grandma was always good with things like that *, he thought as he remembered his youth with his grandparents.
"But there is one thing I would like to know," muttered Ukyo.
"Yes?"
"How was that again with the demon princess and the story with Ryoga's grandfather?"
Grandma Hibiki smiled mischievously and leaned back.
"It's a story of its own. It was 60 years ago when we were both your age ..."
