Back to ze past

"He ate our chickens!" The old woman exclaimed. "Left Humans in our village. He left with a few others awile ago."

Hikaru nodded she had expected as much
"Could you tell me where they stayed? I would like to be able to find them"

"Not my busniess." The old woman waved her hand. "He has his own hut."

Hikaru frowned "Thankyou anyway Obaa-sama" she bowed respectivly and turned to Kuroi
"Looks like we'll have to do this the old fashioned way"

((Triple post just has to be a record.))

((how utterly UNAMUSING OF THE GODDAMN FORUM))

Sadaharu submerged himself completely for a moment before hopping out of the bath with a sigh. He twisted the water from his dripping hair and sat down with a small smile. Springs were nice.

--------

"I'll kill you!" Mori roared, punching the water. Taro had gotten out not long before hand and donned his clothes... right before grinning and running off with Mori's. The panther's face was twisted into a scowl as he glared around for the idiot from the safety of the spring.

The old woman walked off muttering for her stew-lady.

Yuki moved over and sat behind Sadaharu, bending down to kiss the boys cheek.

----

Amaterasu sat back and sighed. "The boys are worse than me."

"I think the big-kitty is angry" Taro said with a grin, sitting down cross-legged beside Amaterasu.

Raven blinked and yawned, patting his hair to try and flatten it.

"I wonder why." Amaterasu said dryly.

Sadaharu leaned back against Yuki and smiled, moving his head so as to kiss him back.

-------

"Me too." Taro said with a mock sigh, shaking his head and setting out the folded clothes next to him. "They were covered in blood, I can't see why he would put them back on. So I thought I would be nice and get him his other set... But I forgot to mention I would stop for a chat." He beamed. "Come to think of it, I forgot to mention the entire thing."

They wandered around the village until Hikaru caught Mori's scent
in the Tavern of all places, she smiled ruefuly
the report her friend had given her said as much, an interesting development

they followed it to Elizabeths house and knocked on the door

Yuki smiled and wrapped his arms around the boy. "Hard to keep my hands off you."

---

"Now I understand why he feels angry." Amaterasu rolled his eyes.

Wuu held up his finger. "Anger is Feelings bestfiend while Feelings are Angers worst enemy."

"Give him his clothes." Amaterasu sighed.

Elizabeth opened the door. "Hello?"

Hikaru smiled "Hello miss, please forgive the intrusion. may we talk to you for a minute?"

Elizabeth licked her lips and looked at the children behind her. "Umm..." She bit her lip and looked back at them. "Alright, about?"

"You wouldn't happen to know a Kurohyou named Mori Samaria?"

suddenly a flash of recognition flashed in Hikaru's eyes and she gasped
she said, in english this time;
"Your the English girl, from the dungeons! I remember you! You escaped with the other prisoners"

Taro smiled wistfully. "I'll see if I can outrun him." He rummaged through the small bag and pulled out Mori's second shirt, a roll of fresh bandage and the rest of his clothes before wandering back.

-------

Sadaharu just smiled and brushed his damp hair out of the way, reaching over and tracing his finger down the side of Yuki's face.

(( *twitches* ))

Amaterasu shook her head in his general direction and went back to looking into the fire.

---

Yuki smiled softly and kissed the boy gently.

(( hey, is Ama going to run off soon? ))

Staring wistfully at the pile of rubble infront of her Anei couldn't help but shake her head.

"Guess home isn't really an option right now guys" she muttered earning a snort from the bear beside her, she chose to ignore it.

Zetsubou on the other hand hadn't heard her at all and was staring infront of him with a blank expression. Slowly he turned to stare at the river to the side, to most it apeared quite natural, but he knew it was dug out.

It looked like it was the only thing left of their home. A hand dug trench.

Elizabeth closed the door behind her as she stepped outside. "What is it you want? Mori left a few days ago With thee young Lord who brought us here."

((Not yet.))

"Young Lord?" Hikaru had heard nothing of this

"I believe you call him Yuki." Elizabeth rubbed her eyes. "Is that all?"
