Back to ze past

Hana almost cried. "Ayama! Please! Shut them up! They've been arguing the entire trip!"

Shinki muttered, "I liked them better when they were tiny."

Both teenagers glared at them.

"What, if I may ask, are you fighting over?" Ayama asked, jumping down near the younger twins, but not without a sedutive motion over Skinki's shoulders.

Sesshouko shot a look at Saiaimaru. "He said that I wouldn't fit in at all if we went to Ocaa's home land. I of course objected and said that he looks nothing like a dog."

"Which is not true," he muttered.

"Your right, he wouldn't. hyowever, a war between Panther and Kitsunes have broken, better chose your side." Ayama all but sung.

Hana and Shinki looked stunned. "What? Hikaru? Satori? Mori? Sadaharu? They're at war?"

"Yes." Ayama smiled. "Only Hika's got prisoners. My dear daughter included."

Hana hit her forehead. "Shit... Hikaru..."

"Her brothers a good kisser through." Ayama said offhandedly. "SO, you going to choose sides?"

Shinki looked startled. "You kissed Kaoru?"

"Yeah." Ayama said, looking to Shinki. "That a problem?"

"No," he said. "You do what you want. It's just that me and Kaoru are like this." Shinki crossed his index and middle finger together. "Like Hana and Hikaru."

"And so, whats the problem." Ayama asked, now standing in front of Shinki.

Shinki shrugged. "I haven't seen him in forever."

"Then there is no problem." Ayama whispered, blowing in his ear some before moving away almost to quickly as she appeared on the other side of them all.

Saiaimaru asked, "So Nutty Hikaru has Amaterasu? What of Yuki?"

"Yuki?" Ayama asked. "Last I saw of him he was under a pile of rocks. I believe he handed Sadaharu over to the Kitsunes to join their side now..."

Sesshouko asked warily, "So a lot has happened since we've been gone?"

Ayama laughed. "Alot more than you'd know. Believe you me."

Hana sighed and said, "I guess we're going home, Shin."

Shinki sighed and nodded. "I guess so."

Saiaimaru snorted. "Enough sighing. Get a move on, why don't you?"

Sesshouko snapped at him, "Don't be rude, Sai!"

He ignored her. "What are you waiting for? For the kitsunes to find us? Move it!"

Ayama leant back and gave a small wave.

Hana gave Ayama a small wave over her shoulder as Shinki offered a whimiscal smile. Sesshouko and Saiaimaru broke out in argument once more.

Ayama blew Shinki a kiss and gave him a wik before she simply disapeared behind a large group of people.

Hana and Shinki went back to covering their ears as Sesshouko and Saiaimaru continued to argue. At least it wasn't over who looked more like what again.

Ren walked over to one of the prisoner cells. She asked the prisoner inside, "Are you hungry? Food is about to be served."

Amaterasu bearly rose her head, she just kept looking at the ground, flexing her hands.
