Kaito had instructed Yuu to go back to his room and continue practicing on the fixes that he showed him right after he heard Toshi yell right under his window. He was annoyed by it, and after Yuu had left his room he decided to go threaten her to go do her chores somewhere other than under his window. He opened his windows out wide and jumped right out, his wings spread out a second after he did and slowed his descent. What he didn't expect was to see another tengu standing in front of him.

Inevitably, as he was falling back on his territorial instincts and traditions, he swiftly changed all the way into his tengu form, covered in a brilliant orange and yellow attire and drew out his sword, pointing it at Toshi but had no idea that the tengu was actually her, "I hope that you are aware that you are trespassing. What is your purpose in coming here?"

[Kaguya]

Seeing Kaito infront of her Toshi was startled, she was scared and unsure how he would take to her in this form she wanted to bow but in doing that she knew he would just punish her but if she didn't she was going to get punished anyway her eyes went to the crystal blade she had made, she wasn't so concerned about Kaito at the moment but to the weapon, she didn't understand why though.

Flicking her hand the blade vanished and she formed a wakazashi much like the one Toshi use to adorn with her kimono's "I am not trespassing" her words where calm as she spoke, though like before it sounded as if two people where speaking "I live here" moving to her knees she bowed low to him as Toshi normally would, she had only realized now she possessed a form like Yuu and Kaito but she didn't understand how, her parent's where both Human or so she thought

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"You live here? Out of all the months that I have been present here, I have yet to see you at least once. So why is it that you only show up now?" though upon seeing her bow it was a sign of submission and thus he put his sword away. He found it awkward listening to her and staring at her. There was nothing on her that resembled a normal tengu. Her voice was wrong, her coloration was beyond rare, and he had the strange feeling that he had met her somewhere but he was certain he'd remember such a unique tengu.

[Kaguya]

Began to nod from her bowed position, and hearing him talking she sat up "You see me daily Kaito sama" after speaking she bowed once more clenching her hands to prevent a finger been broken "I'm breaking a rule... number thirty three if I am correct" her voice shook slightly as she spoke "I didn't know this was a Tengu form or I wouldn't have done it... I'm sorry" she almost wanted to cry she was treated badly when she was not doing anything wrong but now she had

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"That rule only applies to marked tengu. And as far as I see, you are not marked, so you're not doing anything wrong," after Toshi had explained herself, he understood that the one in front of him was Toshi. But it didn't explain how she was tengu when she claimed that she was human. And more or less, she was from an unknown tribe so he had no reason to attack her on that account, "You were most likely adopted by humans, Toshi. And what of your brother? Was he an adopted tengu as well?"

[Kaguya]

Hearing his words she moved to her feet and dusted herself off befor bringing up her mask "I wasn't adopted... I was born here by my mother" her hand pointed to Miyu's tree "I was born there" her voice still shook slightly "I know who my parent's where and will not allow an outsider to tell me otherwise!" she felt somewhat insulted and it showed as she brought her mask down in her hands formed twin daggers which where beautifully decorated

"Ai and I are both Humans... You fly around this place daily and have never seen another Tengu... I've lived here for over two hundred years and the first tengu I ever met was Yuu" her voice almost growled at him as her eyes glowing dully, she was so angry she forgot to place title at the end of Ai and Yuu's names

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"At least one of your parents 'was' a tengu! You stand before me in that form as proof of that you are an heir to the blood!" Kaito spat, ruling out the possibility that Toshi was some sort of shape changer since her whole aura and personality seemed different, and that's something a shape changer couldn't mimic so easily even if they were skilled with the ability. Though, despite trying to explain, he viewed Toshi as someone who was thickheaded and stubborn, and thus would have a difficult time digesting what he was saying if she took any of it at all.

Yuu sat there for a while, listening carefully to what was being said outside. He couldn't hear everything but he understood that they were talking about Toshi being either a human or tengu. With that, he immediately opened his window and hopped out, changing into his tengu form as he came to a slow enough descent so he wouldn't hurt himself upon landing. His clothing had intricate designs colored in bright purples and reds and his eyes glowed purple beneath the mask as he walked towards the two, "What is..?"

Though Yuu was interrupted by a shocked Kaito who had immediately taken hold of Yuu's shoulder after seeing Yuu's new coloration. Even if Yuu had tried to put on brighter clothing in his tengu form, they would have immediately changed color to suit him. But there before him was a perfectly normal looking tengu. The only explanations that Kaito could come up with was that Yuu had an abnormally delayed coloration, since some tengu don't get their colors until later in their childhoods, or that he had been using some sort of strong spell which he didn't believe Toshi was capable of even if she knew how, "This is..."

"This is what we are. Tengu...and..." Yuu looked at Toshi, sensing that somehow this one was closer to the Toshi he was familiar with. So somehow she had figured out that she had the ability, and there was no use hiding that fact. At least he could tell her that one of her parents was a tengu, but wasn't willing to tell her the rest while Kaito was there. He glared at Kaito, "Toshi, she isn't a marked, so don't punish her for taking this form."

[Kaguya]

Toshi looked to Kaito "don't wish to be heir to Tengu blood! I am happy being Human!" making a symbol on her had it glowed shifting her into normal form, standing still for a moment her hand going to her head as she fell down through dizzyness "I feel dizzy" she sounded groggy as she spoke

Noticing both Yuu and Kaito in front of her and bowed low "have I caused a disurbance? I am sorry" her voice had changed and so had her peronality back to the submissive Toshi once more "Can I finish making breakfast before I am punished" she couldn't remember what had happened since exiting the house.

The swords on Yuu's side glowed purple for a second 'she bound her tengu form... it's not something she can handle as of yet it seems' the voice was of a more educated man 'trust my grandson to be difficult when choosing a bride... but I am proud of him he choose well' the voice was warm, and held no hint od an insult

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"Get to it. Do it quickly," Kaito said in a commanding voice. He was hungry, and all the commotion made that more apparent. He grumbled watching Toshi. There was no point in pushing it and treating her like another normal tengu when she bluntly refused her own blood.

[Kaguya]

Took not a second before she stood and moved but she felt dizzy once more "Yuu Sa..." she stopped, she was going to ask for some help to get back into the house but decided against it especially since Kaito was there and he was in a god awful mood "Breakfast will be ready in a few moments Kaito Sama" with that she moved into the house

once in the house she moved to the kitchen and started placing the rice into a giant bowl, placing the fish onto a plate, and done the same with some fruit taking them in to where the table had already been set up. Walking back into the kitchen she would bring out a teapot and placed it down on the table before kneeling at her usual spot waiting fot Yuu and Kaito to arrive

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"Just how many secrets are you two hiding? Just how much of it is truth..?" Kaito asked, staring in the direction that Toshi went to. He remembered that Yuu had said that he was a marked, and although he disliked the idea of knowing that it was true, he disliked it even more that he was never told that by anyone else and left in the dark about it, "Is it true that Toshi is a normal tengu? And is it true that I am a marked?"

"Yes and no..for Toshi. But, I was told that you were a marked, but you came out looking like a normal tengu," Yuu felt that Kaito would most likely think he was lying once again and started his walk to go back into the house, and looked back, "You know..now that the elders are gone, we don't have to be bound by old rules and traditions. You can go out and start your own tribe and.."

Kaito covered Yuu's mouth, "And what? Become unprotected again? Risking another attack like what happened to our village? Are you stupid!?" Kaito suddenly panicked and apologized to Yuu, bowing low, now that he realized that he was the marked. He grinded his teeth, not wanting to be a marked since he had been raised as a normal tengu.

"Don't bow to me. Don't try to live the life as a marked.. No tengu deserves to be punished based on what they were born as," Yuu was going to say that he despised Kaito for treating him and Toshi so horribly, but he held back his tongue and anger, "I think breakfast is ready.."

[Kaguya]

Toshi was sat at the table quietly starting to dish out breakfast like she normally did every morning "Sorry breakfast is late Kaito sama, and Yuu sama" she was totally unaware of the happenings that where going on behind her

Out of the sword came a white mist that engulfed both Yuu and Kaito, standing in front of them was Ken'ichi "Kaito kun, only bow when required by politeness... you where gifted a good life do not throw it away" his words where gentle, he knew exactly what Kaito had been doing to his daughter but said nothing about it as it was the way he was raised "Your father side was dominant and thus you are not marked so get that thought right out of your mind, you are on equil footing with Yuu kun" he was stearn on this matter

"Toshi's mother was a Tengu priestess, so Toshi chan is half... so going by your race's rules she would be lower than a marked and because of her abilitys and her color more than likely given to a Tengu elder as a slave or some sort of object, I'd rather her be here if she has to be tormented" he then thought of what Kaito brought up about adoption "Ai kun was adopted, I found him in the forest and raised him as my own son... I suspect he may be a Tengu of the shadows" even Ken'ichi's eyes showed worry at that, his wife had told him that that clan was one of the most vicious of all clans

"Yuu kun you are doing well in your studies keep it up" his voice sounded like a proud father as he smiled the mist faded back into the sword, Toshi had made sure all tea had been poured and made sure there was food on each plate before eating her food in the way she had been for the last three months, she no longer felt humiliated by it, she just seen it as another peice of her life

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Kaito and Yuu would sit down. Yuu was not so surprised by what Ken'ichi said, except for the part where he started saying that Toshi was probably lower than a marked, which is something he never heard about. And Kaito was just surprised by the entire encounter. Though, being more knowledgeable than Yuu on the tengu cultures, he did worry about Ai. If Ai was anything like Toshi, and if Ai had discovered that he had such an ability to transform, then they would all most likely be in danger and of course he didn't want to go through the same experience as he did the last time he was at his village.

"Kaito, you don't look so good," Yuu was watching Kaito right after Ken'ichi vanished, wanting to see just how badly shaken Kaito would be. Maybe that sadistic characteristic was rubbing off on him. Though he started eating before Kaito could give an answer.

"I will be leaving shortly," Kaito answered as if it were nothing, starting to eat as well. Of course he thought that even if he was in a house protected by runes, they wouldn't stand a chance against someone like Ai, if it was indeed true that he was from the shadow tribe.

[Kaguya]

Toshi sat up after finishing eating hoping not to be asked to have a second helping, she noticed that Kaito seemed a little off since she had seen him only a few moments outside she felt the aftermath of her father's energy but that couldn't have been it as her father never attacks without cause and she knew he wouldn't blame Kaito for treating her this way it was just his tribes way of doing things

"My mother put up some special runes, she said it would protect all inside from the shadows" she thought perhaps he had been threatened by one of her other ancesters with a ninja, she had no idea it had something to do with Ai "My mother talked of a priestess called Lunia... who taught her the runes..." she smiled not realizing that Lunia was one of the spirits from earlier "She was kept in a guilded cage much like this one... apparently her people treated marked even worse than what Yuu was" her voice went up a pitch as she heard the door opening suddenly turning she seen it was Ai and bowed low "Ai sama, would you care for something to eat?" her voice turned extreamly submissive

Ai nodded and took his place next to Kaito as Toshi went to fetch another plate and cup "You're leaving brother?" he sounded genuinlly hurt over Kaito saying such things. Ai knew nothing of his other form or even his heritage, but had studdied all Tribes that had a book. If he was from the Shadow tribe then Kaito would know just by saying the word 'brother' meant he was safe no matter what happened as the shadow never hurt those who they classed as 'true' family

He watched as Toshi placed down a plate and a cup then proceeded to fix him breakfast, looking to Toshi's plate he noticed it was empty "Have something to eat, you silly bitch" after all at meal times that is exactly what she was to the three of them nothing but an animal "Yes Ai Sama, thank you for allowing me to eat" she placed some more food onto her plate, she only wanted to give herself a small portion but if she did then she would get into trouble.

One she filled her plate once more she went back to eating allowing them to get back to whatever they where discussing, she even spoke while they where like this and she knew bad things would follow "Why would you be leaving brother, you said you where enjoying your life here" his eyes looked as hurt as his voice sounded as he began to eat his food, if the fact he was calling him brother wasn't enough the fact he was showing saddened emotions should have been

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Now Yuu was getting a little sqeamish with the news as well. They met a person named Lunia back at the town, and hoped that wouldn't be the same one. And now he was even more shocked to see that Ai was showing some emotion beyond something with an evil intent. Kaito was a little shocked too, never having seen Ai look so hurt before. But if things held true to what he studied from his books, and what Toshi had said, then he was safe, unlike Yuu and Toshi, "I was just a little overwhelmed with some things I heard earlier.. I think I'm okay now."

[Kaguya]

Ai stopped eatting hearing what Kaito said "What overwhelmed you so muvh you would want to leave a life you enjoy?" he was genuinlly confused and curious on the natter, he was about to start eatting again but stopped before the chopstick touched the rice "brother I have a request of you..." he paused and bowed slightly to Kaito "help me find out my race... I want to know what I am, I know I am not human" he had always felt incompleate withot this information and he thought Kaito would be abe to help him
