Yuu of course changed his clothes after he got back to his room, and feeling lucky that he had his wings retracted before he set foot into the house or else Kaito might have discovered that he, as Nobuo, was the culprit behind the massacre at the village. It replayed in his head, the feelings of rage and hatred were amplified many fold since he was not only bearing his own feelings at the time, but also from other tengu who had wrongs done onto them, making him perfectly suited for mass slaughterings against normal tengu. But at the same time, he knew that there was innocent blood that was spilled, and he sighed heavily. He tried to deny it, that he had taken the lives of those who weren't involved in tormenting the lower tengu. And then there were those scenes that didn't seem to fit anywhere, which he also tried to deny at that point.

He walked out of his room, right when Toshi spoke after coming out of her room. A chill went down his spine as he heard it, and then sat down as if he wasn't aware of what Toshi had just said. After what was seen, heard, and done, he didn't want to be the one to drag the day on endlessly, and bowed once again, "Sorry for the wait..please enjoy your meal.."

[Kaguya]

Toshi remained bowed as neither Ai nor Kaito had returnd her bow. once the did so she sat with a straight back her eye closing as now the pain of her beating set in, she was going to let out a deep sigh but thought against it as Ai was in a foul mood and was looking for any reason to hurt her.

"Toshi chan you must be hungry..." Ai began his voice cold to her "Don't worry manners aren't wasted on you at meal times anymore, as soon as you have served dinner you may eat" he paused for a second and smirked at his sister "after all dogs do not wait for permisson to eat they just eat" he was trying to get her to step out of line, but instead just bent forward and began to eat the food from her plate

She felt so humiliated but continued to eat knowing that she was being watched didn't help hrt uncomfort leave either. though Ai's eye's turned toward's you for a moment before he leaned into Kaito and whispered "I'm going to have some fun" his voice showed he was scheaming as he sat back properly his eyes moving to Yuu once more "Yuu kun... You said you were not marked correct" his voice showed he was infact serious on this subject

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu watched, horrified from seeing Toshi's injury and the way she was eating her food. The two had pushed it too far and yet he was trying hard to control himself. He could feel a tendril slither from under his right foot and towards the two, threatening to grab them. He looked at the two coldly, and yet he tried to be as submissive and cooperative as possible, but at the same time he tried not to break the balance, "I apologize for saying that I was unmarked. May we continue with our meal?"

[Kaguya]

Ai picked up his chopsticks and took a a bit of rice "It's quite alrighy Yuu kun..." he ate the rice on his chopsticks before continuing "I was going to make you an offer but since you have retracted your statement I will think not a thought on it" how he spoke to Yuu had changed slightly, he was more calm and serious about the subject than malice and raging, in fact you could say that Ai was speaking to him on an equil level but continued eatting keeping his eyes on his sister

He found himself wondering how Kaito was taking to this whole situation, being in an enviroment where he had nothing to worry about, never had to lift a finger and could torment both Yuu and Toshi. He was also very curious to see what kind of punishments he would hand out to his sister, after all she had insulted him at least three times

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu was shocked, hearing that an offer would have been made. It could have been beneficial for both him and Toshi and he just screwed up. However, he at least tried to throw the subject up again, "A spirit told me about it.." Yuu ate his food after Ai and Kaito had started eating, though doing it made him feel even more guilty for the way Toshi had to eat.

Kaito was still not trusting of Yuu. He believed that Yuu was just making it up as he went, to throw Ai off. However, he assumed Ai would be thinking along the same lines as him and had faith in Ai, unlike Toshi after he had explained the background behind the marked.

[Kaguya]

Ai quired an eyebrow as the subject toon a new turn placung his chopsticks down "tea" his voice remained calm toshe sat strate, her face remained withot food on it, showing she was trying to take care while eatting.

taking the teapot she poured eye some more tea before placing it back on the table. Ai looked at Toshi's plate and seen everything was almost gone "have another helping" he wanted to prolong her humiliation as long as possible. Doing as she was told she placed more food on her plate and began to eat once more

Ai watched for a second and smiled he knew he had caught yuu, hook, line and sinker when he had a preposal for him, now the only question was would he bite. He was as skeptic as Kaito but he wanted to have fun with him "Seems you are unsure Yuu kun, would you care for a chance to prove the spirit right and earn some rights for you both... perhaps even your freedom?" once again he was serious on the subject, he wondered if Kaito knew where this was leading and if he approved of it

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Kaito raised a brow, but knew that Ai was obviously scheming something interesting. There was no way he would allow Yuu or Toshi their freedom without the confidence that Yuu would never succeed, except for humiliating himself. He grinned, "Now now, Ai, you are being too generous." Then he leaned towards Ai, whispering, "I'm looking forward to whatever test you have in store for him."

Yuu sat up straight at the proposal. This opportunity meant that they would be able to get their freedom sooner than they originally anticipated. Then he nodded, "Yes, I do care."

[Kaguya]

Looked to Kaito "Ahh but my dear brother if he is indeed like yourself then is it not a crime to treat him like a marked" he knew he had a point but this was all just a play but he made sure not to show it, hearing Yuu's voice he smiled gently "There is of course a second side to this proposal.. if you fail you both remain and serve without question even after your death Yuu kun" he looked at yuu showing him he could still back down if he wished

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu flinched, a little disheartened with hearing the rest of the deal since he had two stubborn knuckleheads in front of him. He knew this would involve the help of the spirits, and possibly Nobuo, though he had some doubts that either would cooperate entirely. Taking a few seconds to think on it, he sighed and tried to speak as calmly as possible, "May I spend a few minutes to go to another room to deliberate with Toshi?"

[Kaguya]

Ai tilted his head "She doesn't get a say... if you are what you have claimed the choice is yours, the moment you leave the table the proposal leaves with it" his words where stearn on the matter before he continued eatting his eyes glancing to his sister who was still eatting from a plate on the floor like the family pet

"All you have to do is act like an unmarked Tengu for one year... During this time Toshi chan will be classed as marked and you must treat her as such, if you are able to do so you can both leave and we will not stop you... if you can not you are both bound here for eternity" he made it seem so simple, but if he agreed would their friendship last and if it did would be be able to resist the power he felt

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu's eyes narrowed, "Honestly, those rules against the marked were made by people who were prejudice against the people of other clans. And if I were to prove that it's true that I am not a marked, then my words about Kaito being a marked should be true as well. And if the old rules remain, then Kaito would end up getting hurt in the end, right?" Though he could feel it, Nobuo wanting to get out to whip the two until they couldn't move before stripping their lives away.

[Kaguya]

Ai listened to everything Yuu had to say before answering, he shook his head "It would show that you where unmarked, but there would be no proof stating that Kaito was marked and no way to test he was" he knew he had a point on this matter it was easier to prove he was than to prove Kaito wasn't

"Do you accept the terms or not?" his voice showed this was the final time he would offer this proposal, he knew for a fact he had avoided Kaito's heritage being pulled into question, "From what Kaito san tells me your father hated marked, why would he take one as a child?" his words did bring up a question, which was retorical... he wouldn't

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

He thought that if they could somehow go back in time, he could show them. But he believed that the house was only capable of showing things from the past that happened around it and nothing outside. Or maybe some runes back at his home would be able to do something, but then that would also show them who the criminal was. He became light headed from the sheer stress that this situation had brought up. He really didn't want to hurt Toshi, but doing this would finally cut off their ties with Ai and Kaito without fighting them, "And what happens if I were to prove my heritage in a different way before the year-end?"

[Kaguya]

Ai listened to what Yuu had said and nodded "You have one year to prove one way or another that you are not marked... Nothing to do with Kaito san, it is you proving your station within your tribe..." he paused for a second and closed his eyes "This would include swordplay, reading, writting and your tribes magics" this would have been an impossible task to learn everything in one year

Toshi rose from her plate and looked to Yuu her hand slipping into his squeezing it lightly, she had faith in him and her eyes reflected it "If you accept his propersition then place the sword to your right hand side showing your are no longer submissive" toshi's words where low but no mater what happened she he would always be her dear Yuu

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu knew that the sword style and magic type would have been different from what Toshi had learned, but at least he could learn writing off of her. And worse comes to worse, he might end up seeking Kaito's help. He felt and heard Toshi, and he looked at her. She had an unfaltering determined look in her eyes and he nodded, "I accept." He placed the sword on his right side, "I will live as I should have done from birth."

Kaito was in one way disgusted that Yuu would be given the chance to live as a normal tengu, but on the other hand it would have been highly torturous for Yuu to be one of the people to punish Toshi and that was something that Kaito was looking forward to. He smiled, "Welcome to your new life, brother."

[Kaguya]

Ai smiled seeing Yuu changing the sword from the left to the right had side "Welcome to you new life Yuu san" he bowed his head respectfully, although he knew Kaito was unhappy with Yuu living as a normal tengu, he was sure he seen the bigger picture by now on how it would torture and potentually destroy their friendship

Toshi knew it was for the best and would bare with it for the year, slowly she removed her had from Yuu's and went back to eatting her meal which was still halk filled with her second helping, knowing Ai and Kaito's eye's where upon her and she wouldn't be permited to leave until the plate was empty
