"And just where do you want to start?" Kaito said. Although Ai might have a slim chance of being from another tribe other than the shadow tribe or maybe a different species altogether, he just didn't know if he'd just want to say it out so bluntly.

[Kaguya]

Just as Ai was about to speak toshi sat up and looked to ai "why not just ask mothers spirit she should be abe to tell if your Tengu... Yuu said that the lulaby she sang to me was tengu" she wanted to help him that she forgot her manners "if you want to talk to her she's by Miyu's tree trying to help her" she still felt guilty about what happend to miyu

Ai was ready to yell at her but noticed the rune on the back of her left hand "a tengu binding?" he looked to kaito wondering if this was some strange trick he was playing on Toshi and Yuu, as he didn't believe Yuu had the proficency to do any magic

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu shuddered at the thought of seeing Ai as a tengu. He thought it would be more horrific, and several fold on the trouble for Toshi since tengu forms were built for strength and endurance. He couldn't say he was opposed to it though since he still believed that upsetting Ai would earn a punishment for either him or Toshi. And Toshi was leaping right into it, right into Ai's hand and looking as though she had upset Ai. It looked like Ai was ready to yell at Toshi, but he was relieved when he was distracted by something else.

Kaito's eyes widened, just noticing the mark on Toshi like Ai had done. Then he saw that Ai looked at him questioningly and Kaito shifted around uncomfortably, "It appears to be a tengu seal that was placed on her by someone other than myself."

[Kaguya]

Toshi's mother came into the house and looked to Toshi with a smile "Go take a long bath, you look as if you need it" her words where as warm as any mothers should be bowing to everyone Toshi took this time to run without arguments

Waiting till Toshi left her mother came to where toshi was sitting and looked down at the plate on the floor "I can not say I approve of you treating your sister like a pet Ai" her voice sounded disapointed as she spoke "Elder siblings are suppose to protect their younger siblings it seem Tengu from most clans for get this" she say looking at Kaito and Ai, but shook her head

"No mind... The marking on Toshi's hand was done by Toshi" she was calm as she spoke "Helping Yuu's mother escape broke a seal I wish hadn't broke so early, her psyche wasn't prepared for it and now she is denying a part of her" she sighed and looked to Yuu for a moment

"You three have the same father... The tribe of Shadow's most honored warrior in fact" she sounded happy but rolled her eyes, she came from the least aggresive Tengu clan, so she didn't really care for brute force, moving her hands which began to glow blue she gentely, effortlessly and painlessly pulled Nobuo from Yuu "How it was ment to be... twins" she narrowed her eyes at Ai, Nobuo and Kaito "Yuu is the same as you all you will not torment him because he has a kind heart" her words where stearn and as the highest ranking Tengu even if she was of a diffrent clan her word was law

"Nobuo, Yuu... The girl from earlier... Lunia, she was the one I tried to protect... your mother, the priestess of the shadow Tribe" she knew it would be a shock to Yuu, but in fact what Lunia had said about Toshi helping him get revenge had actually already happened in the fact Kaito knew that one side of his family was in fact marked

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu squirmed, not only from having Nobuo forcibly pulled out as it felt like a huge chunk of himself had just been ripped out, but also from hearing that his mother was the monster they saw earlier at the inn. It couldn't have possibly be right, that they were twins. They shared the same memories, and Nobuo had more memories than what Yuu had, possibly more. So he was sitting to an almost exact clone of himself, Nobuo being in his human form for he time being.

Nobuo also didn't like it. While he was more violent than the normal Yuu, they had lived as one person. Growing up and sharing the same memories, and feelings, though their approach to handle problems were far different from each other. Even from the previous wakes they had been together as one entity and never once did they consider themselves as anything other than one soul. He of course glared at Toshi's mother and wanted to slice her down where she was.

Kaito on the other hand was even more shocked than the other two since he was well aware of the shadow tribe. He just couldn't believe that his father was from there and that Ai was indeed directly related to him. He felt a little sick from the information, since the shadow tribe was also one of the most hated tribes, "Why didn't they tell us any of this earlier?"

[Kaguya]

Toshi's mother looked at Nobuo and to yuu "You are still linked and can merge at any point you wish, it's just with my eyes i see your tru forms and it doesn't look right... besides it's politer to speak to you both when you are infront of me" she wanted to show why she done it and it wouldn't be lasting

"They didn't tell you for the same reason we do not tell Toshi... to protect you" she closed her eyes and let out a gentle sigh "You do not know do you Kaito... time for a history lesson" she was serious about theis as she brought up her hand an orb of light appeared showing images

"The priestess's of the six main clans where kidknapped from their sanctuarys by the elders who where meant to protect them..." she took a pause for the next part she hated when she had to speak to Nobuo and Yuu about it but the rest had a right to know what lies they had been fed "Once taken the priestess's where impregnated and experimented on... three to have boys and three to have girls" she closed her eyes and tears begam to roll down her cheeks "they where to be used as weapons or other idiotic things, but my son died in my womb" her eyes opened and they would be able to see her being tried down and force to watch as they tested the child to find out what was wrong

"the other priestess's had their children taken from them and where forced to watch also, but in a feat of love your father stole you from their Yuu and hid you within the marked" she hoped he understood his father's way of thinking, better to be beaten than dead "your mother and I placed out energys together to escape but she didn't get far before we got caught i was weak from being experimented on and so my magic failed... i was left for dead an...."

she was interupted, behind here Lunia stood tall and proud, with deep purple hair matching her indigo eyes, she wore what to be a long cheonsam made of silk, it was a twilight purple "And I was pulled away by one of the elders and myself and the others where all killed to hide the experiments... any child we bore after that would have strange colored eyes be it purple or red" lunia peaned against the door frame "Only one child remains from that experiment and that's you my dear son, and because of what Misha went through it was inevitible that any child she had would be the same, so you two are the only living proof that this happened" she stretched lightly

"Yes the Shadow Tribe was hated, but we didn't needed to be liked... we done things for other Tribes who believed it was below them or if they needed extra support we where there to do what we done best" with that she chuckled as her tribe where not known for their strategic battle plans, it was more 'let's get stuck in'

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu couldn't believe that the spirit in front of him was the same one they had encountered earlier, the same one that tried to make him and Toshi cave into their negative emotions. She looked dramatically different and had a more serene attitude. And all this time, he grew up not being able to feel what it was like to have the normal loving bond of a child to its parent, but all of a sudden he was faced with it.

[Kaguya]

Misha bowed her head slightly to Lunia who nodded in return just by their greetings to one another you could tell their tribes mannerism where completly diffrent. moving swiftly it almost seemed as if Lunia was floating across the room than walking just to sit in between Nobuo and Yuu her eyes going to Misha

"We are going to have to get ready" she say her voice whispy, Misha lowered her head and shook it "We can't... neither of them are ready" her voiced seemd calm yet you could tell she was the submissive of the two even though they held the same rank "We'll make them ready" Lunia scorned only to have Misha flick her hand dismissivly

"He doesn't have a teacher and she denies my blood Lunia... her Tengu form draws her life essence... she could die if she goes into it!" her voice showed worry for them bioth considering she knew what Lunia was talking about "Even if they where both trained, there is no sure way that they would win... Here they are safe... what do you think they would do to them if they caught them alive?!" her voice raised slightly showing it was another unthough plan

"You think your son went through hell in the clan he was raised, they would be lower than marked... I will not have them subjugated to this" her voice was showing her panic "Misha, it is something we need to face eventually even your passifist daughter will have to go against them" her voice showed she didn't like it but she didn't have much of a choice neither of them did

Lunia's eyes then went to Kaito and Ai "Touch your brother with malic again and I will take you to a fear you will never recover from!" her voice demanded an instant answer, and though ai didn't relize why especially since he didn't know this woman bowed as soon as she made her statement "I understand" his voice was humble as he spoke

"Remember your own words Lunia do not drag my daughter into this, The elders think that it's over and done with leave it like that," she then realized something "Oh no... their father became ancient after the last one quote unquote 'had an accident'" everyone knew there was no such thing as accidents in that tribe, if you wanted to get higher in the chain you bumped off the guy that was there at the moment, the only one no one had the balls to try and do anything to was the priestess's until one night the ancient's their own husbands betrayed them to make 6 childrent the could twist

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Kaito, being the one who had more knowledge of the clans than the others, aside from Misha and Lunia, got a bit of a hint over where this was going. It was a ridiculous idea, he thought. Two people up against the elders and an army was just suicide, even if the two were meant to be living weapons. But, obviously they had all been enlightened to the bigger picture of things, between the relationships of the tribes and what had happened in the shadows, "Sending only two people is madness."

Yuu had no idea what was being said, having less education than Kaito and also for the fact that he was somewhat distracted with just staring at his mother. As far as he knew, the two spirits were having a personal fight and nothing too substantial. And Nobuo wouldn't have minded, going into a slaughter, if that's what Lunia meant.

[Kaguya]

Misha and Lunia both looked to Kaito "See even he agree's with me and that's if they where ready" her voice was slightly harsher than normal, but the house showed no raction to it "Misha, he is still young and soesn't have a full understanding" she growled

Misha looked around the room for a moment, before standing and moving to the wall and touched it. Her eyes went wide "TOSHI!!!" she screamed running out the room and down the hall to where her daughter was, opening the bathing room's door slightly she seen her daughter leaning over the side of the rim of the bath contently asleep, she let out a sigh of relief before walking back

Lunia looked to Misha "Is everything all right?" her voice showed some confusion to what just happened "I'm sorry but the house should have reacted to our tones but it didn't... I went to the wall to check as you seen" her voice was low and showed a combination of distress and confusion "The runes weakened for a moment, but that is impossible" she whispered kneeling once more

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Outside hanging upside down on a tree branch their would be a figure clad in black with some red in spots watching the goings on their purple eyes glowing as they did so "protections gone" now by the voice you could tell the figure was female she giggled contently this was the first time they had been allowed out of their protective area so if anything it was more like a field trip

"Why do you think the masters want those two?" she asked looking to the house once more "They don't look like anything special" rocking back and forward she shugged and though she wanted to caw she resisted they had been told complete silence

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"Toshi?" Yuu stood up, he followed a few yards behind Misha. If she was worried, then he thought something must have been wrong. And Nobuo followed, not wanting to be too far from his other self after an unnatural split. Yuu could feel Nobuo's presence behind him, like a warm vapor brushing his backside. When they had stopped, Yuu stopped as well, hearing what Misha had to say and was worried for their safety, "The runes weakened?"

----------

The other was dressed in a similar fashion, though he was sitting on the same branch, swinging his legs back and forth. His red eyes fixed on the house, his grin was ever wide. Thoughts of tearing through the house raced through his mind, thinking about all the fun they would have while doing their mission. "If they don't look like anything special, it must be something inside them. I want to see it! I want to see it!" it made him think that Toshi and Yuu were both gift boxes that needed to be ripped open to get to the prize inside, "Do you think the masters will be displeased if we take a peek at what's inside before they do?"

[Kaguya]

Misha nodded "Yes the protection the runes gave vanished for a moment... that is suppose to be impossible" she sounded worried and looked to Lunia "Only a priestess could disarm those, and even that they would have to be our level or stronger" Lunia lifted her hand and waved it dismissivly "If there where any stronger then they wouldn't have choosen us to be lab rats" she hissed lightly "Your imagination is getting to you priestess of the moon" she chuckled

Misha looked to Lunia "A fool doesn't take heed to what they are being told priestess of the shadow, the runes where deactivated..." but she sighed believing she was just being over protective "Don't mind me, just worried about toshi after all she is weakned at the moment" closing her eyes she sighed "We can't send them even if they where trained, they wouldn't ever come back" it was the cold cruel truth and she didn't what them to go through it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stopped swinging and tilted her head "Oh... you mean like the special presents when we do well!" she exclaimed, she rocked faster and back flipped off the branch landing on her feet in compleate silence "I wanna see what the gifts are" she went towards the house even though she knew it wasn't the best time she just wanted to see the insides of the gift boxes though on hearing his words she stopped

"I never thought of that... but the masters didn't say anything about them not being opened did they?" she tried to think back but she was drawing a blank as she had been to excited to listen to the orders compleatly

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"Wouldn't be able to come back?" Nobuo was perplexed, though he was curious to find out what exactly the two were talking about. It was those words that had him more worried than the fact that the runes had given in. He didn't like the idea of him being involved in something that would cause him to not return.

------------

He shrugged, shaking his head as if he had no idea whether or not there were any specifics on keeping the two 'unopened', "Nope. Nadda. They didn't say anything about it. So howa bout we go open some gifts!" He pushed himself up and got on his feet. Then he pointed at the house, "Meow."

[Kaguya]

Misha looked to Nobuo and nodded "if you where to go after the elders or get anywhere near them, there is a very high chance you would never be coming back, and even if you did..." she paused and looked down "There is no way you'd be the same" she she sounded saddened as she spoke about it

Lunia rolled her eyes as she looked to Misha "And what you rather them kept in a prison like we where" she sounded angered by this fact watching as Misha stood "Better to be in a prison you know.. where you are safe, than a prison where they will treat you like we where!" with that Misha faded

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rie stopped and looked at her mated counter-part and bit her lip "What if they told us not to and we did..." she started walking towards him "We would get punished, to many punishments and we would end up in boxes under the earth" she smiled brightly as they were always praised for being the strongest out of the six children, when in fact they where the last "We should keep them intact... perhaps the masters would give us better gifts if we give them the whole present and not just inside" she grinned brightly

"Besides, if the present is already wrapped then we don't have to wrap so it saves us a job" she giggled like a lunitic "nyah" she giggled walking closer to the house

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"Why are you so smart?" Arata said playfully before hopping off the branch and onto the ground. He walked low, almost slouched and dragged his broad sword through the ground, his held tilted to one side, "No punishments for us. Better gifts, yes!" He was so happy, he couldn't hold it in for much longer, "Let's hurry! My curiosity is killing me!"

[Kaguya]

"You're smart too" she giggled watching him trying to carry the big sword, then she looked to her own Jian, it had a black scabbard with red tassles "You where an idiot for choosing such a big bulky weapon" she poked it contently "Yup if we are good we get no punishments but we do get presents" she almost cawed again

Though grabbed arata as he heard the door slidding open and one of the intended targets walking out with a bowl "Oh look there's one" she whispered exitedly watching the girl as she done her usual routine
