"The spirits of the sword told me to take you. They didn't say why.." they were high enough where he could start gliding. He looked back, making sure no one was following them, and then he eased off a bit, "Maybe we should ask. They've been weird since we've been in this village.." He sighed, hoping Toshi would be understanding since he acted from the spirits' orders. Whatever reason they had must have been a good one.

[Kaguya]

Toshi nodded, she had noticed her ancestors had been acting strange since they had been in the villiage and was worried about it, there was so much she didn't know and she was sure this would be one that she wouldn't know about either, she sighed a little and hugged Yuu no matter what she would trust her ancestors to guide them both

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

It struck him: the elder's words. He remembered that Toshi said something similar and wondered if that was the reason for the alarm. He knew that Toshi was dead set on keeping that rule, but he tried to figure out how that played in with him and Toshi specifically. He blushed, feeling like it was the first time in a long time where they really had any time to themselves, flying through the sky, feeling free. And in actuality, they were now free from Ai and Kaito, so it had been a very small blessing in disguise, "There's so much to explore out there, isn't there."

[Kaguya]

The sword glowed slightly ~I'm sorry for that Yuu kun~ it was keni'ich who was present and speaking through the bond "As you have likely realized by that one sentance my family has a history with him" his voice seemed a little distant as he spoke, he fell silent allowing Yuu to ask whatever questions he wanted

Toshi blushed slightly listening to Yuu's hearbeat "I think you skipped a beat Yuu" she gigled a little closing her eyes to hear it more clearly, this was the first time she felt free in her eternal life, sighing contently she nodded "The world could be tiny but as long as i have you the world will be big"

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

((Yuu: yah? wanna do 'it'?

roflmao x'D))

Now he had two things to choose from. Either get his questions answered and have the moment with Toshi ruined, or save the questions for later and enjoy the time he had with Toshi. It was tough for him, but when he thought about all the times he's been with Toshi and all the things they went through, he thought they deserved a little breather from all of it and went with the latter choice. He nuzzled into Toshi's hair and smiled, "Toshi, I-" At that moment, his wings retracted suddenly and they ended up smashing into the tree tops. The small branches and leaves cushioned their landing.

[Kaguya]

Toshi was compleatly unaware of the conversation between her father and Yuu, but even if she did she would have cared she was happy and felt safe with him and closed. Feeling Yuu nuzzling into her hair she giggled, but it was short lived as they fell her eyes going wide glowing slightly she was caught by a branch watching as another caught Yuu "Did you get distracted?" she giggled happily

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

Kyruo walked back into the temple and sighed, he should have brought them back but at the end of the day they would end up here anyway. He heared the two children arguing over who got the best reward but that was something he was use to. He had to at least give a report on what Yuu and Toshi were like and any abilitys he seen

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"Distracted?" Yuu wasn't exactly sure what to make of it himself. His wings had just pulled themselves in without him wanting it. Worried, he tried to bring out his wings again, and they came out perfectly fine. He sighed and tried to make his way to Toshi, being careful that none of the branches below him would snap and send them down to the forest floor below. He smiled and laughed, though not completely confident about his wings anymore, "Well..I guess so. Let's try walking instead since we're out of the village." He got to Toshi and picked her up once again, but instead of flying upwards, he tried to get them down, flapping his wings so that they wouldn't make a rough landing.

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

An older female, dressed in gaudy jewelery, trinkets, and silks sighed as she set her tea down. It had been a while since the two nuisances came back, or at least they were a nuisance to her. She grumbled over how they couldn't train the two to at least keep quiet and was tempted to just give them a dungeon room. Her long braided black hair was swept back by a hand as she rose from her cushioned seat on the floor and walked to see if the other had returned. And just with the timing, she saw the very person she was expecting to see, "Kyruo." She frowned after using her senses to try to detect Yuu and Toshi, but did not find anything, and asked what she thought was a rhetorical question, "Was the mission unsuccessful?"

[Kaguya]

Toshi nodded as he spoke "Yes, you must have been distracted" she smiled watching him climb up to her, she noted how he took carre not to harm the tree as he climbed "Walking sounds nice Yuu" she giggled conently beging brought into his arms once more and enjoyed the decent down from the branch she sat on.

Once on the ground she hopped out of his arms and took his hand a light blush in her cheeks "What where you going to say before we banged into the tree?" she would ask her hand going to the trunk a white glow appearing around her hand as she thanked the tree for protecting them from damage

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

Hearing the woman Kyruo smiled and walked towards her bowing his head slightly "I see they found their rewards" he say hearing a crash from a near by room and chuckled a little "Play the quiet game... The one that can stay quiet longest gets an extra helping of desert" and with that the comotion grew silent. His eyes then returned to the woman "The mission was sucessful... but they left" he say walking away from her to go get some tea from the table

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"I..." Yuu held back. The whole crash threw his whole mood off and he smiled weakly and said something different than what he was originally going to say earlier, "I like the weather here. It really is a nice day to go walking." He was still aware of the dangers behind them, as the elder could send out his armies at any time. At least they did get a head start in getting away, and the faster the moved, the harder it would be to find them.

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

"Amazing.." she didn't think something so idiotic could work on the two. Then again, the two were idiots themselves, and any good incentive probably would have worked. She turned around, facing Kyruo once again, "Then wouldn't you consider that a 'failed' mission? The objective was to bring them and keep them here, not let them run back after retrieving them."

[Kaguya]

Toshi blinked at him as he began to stop then continued she could tell that wasn't what he wanted to say but she knew he would say what it trully was when he was ready "Yes the weather is nice here... perfect for a picnic, if I still hat the fruit... perhaps we can find something" she was content as she walked hand in hand with him, just wanting to forget the villiage behind them

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

"Not amazing, they might not be compleatly there but they are still children and children will do whatever they can to get extra deserts or prizes" for someone so old she was quite simple minded on such subjects, but then again he was the primary carer.

Sitting down he shook his head pouring himself some tea "No it wasn't..." he say placing down the teapot "Why hunt them, when they will return of there own accord, we have things they want" with that he took a sip of his tea

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"We can probably find some fruit if we travel a bit more. I know that fruits, mushrooms, and meats are things that tengu hunt for. If they can do it, we can too, I think," he wondered if they used anything to actually help them find the foods. However, he was sure that eventually they would run into something good. He blinked though, "And what is a picnic?"

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

"Oh? And what things are those? Food? Shelter? Gold?" she joined him and sat down. He wasn't telling everything yet, but at least she got the hint that he had placed the bait down and it was only a matter of time before they returned. Still, she was curious to know just what he did to have the two targets play into his hands, "And what of their status? Did they develop any interesting or useful abilities?"

[Kaguya]

Toshi nodded to what he said though she had never been hunting before so it was going to be a new experience for her "Why did the Tengu swarm us earlier?" she asked just before he asked his question "A picnic is where you make food at home and you go out taking the food and a blanket and eat outside" she tried to explain it the best she could but wasn't to sure if she was going a good enough job

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

"I didn't offer food, they can find that... shelter, they can make that with their surroundings... gold, she lives in a forest where everything is provided for her and he was raised as a marked, they would have no use for it" he sighed enjoying the delicate taste of the jasmine "if something is taken something must be given in return" is all he said to help her curiosity but he doubted she would understand what it meant

"They are both alive and well, though the girl has bound herself wuth a level of magic I have never seen... she reacts with her surroundings as if they are people she has known from birth, she knocked out three tengu teens for hurting a tree... " he paused to take another sip "I find that amazing as she is a timid thing, extemely submissive"

"As for the boy it's almost like there is two of them in there, one is agressive like a tengu male is suppose to be and then we have the submissive counter-part that only seems to turn dominate if she is in danger. He carrys her familys blades" with that he grinned like a cheshire cat "But they are forming a bond on their own, and I believe that it will be the strongest we've seen"

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"Food from home? Blanket? What's the blanket for?" Yuu could only think that it served to carry the food, or perhaps people napped afterwards. He raised a brow to the previous question though, and thought the answer would be obvious to her, but it must have been something that set the humans and tengu apart, "Tengu are fond of shiny objects, and especially ones that look flawless."

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

"A successful pairing!" she was overwhelmed with joy at the thought, that all their efforts would finally bear fruit. All the long years, so many failures, and now they had something. Something they can grasp within their fingers. Even though, the abilities that they had seemed particularly odd, they could prove to be very useful for them.

[Kaguya]

"yes you make sandwichies, rice balls and other things... then you go find a nice spot, you put the blanket on the ground so you can sit on it, and you can put the food on plates sort of use it as a table or you can nap" she smiled happily hoping he understood, though hearing the answer to her own question she put her hand into her obi and brought out a few gems and beads "So these are worth a lot to tengu?" she was curious as she held them out for Yuu to take

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

He closed his eyes "I do not know how strong the bond is at the moment, remember she is a half breed... so by law should be killed" a sigh coming from his lips, as he thought about the possible outcomes "besides, she is no use to us bound and we don't have anyone near strong enough to counter that seal" he didn't seem overly bothered by possible outcomes as he took another sip of his tea

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu was automatically distracted by the pretties, entranced by the perfectly shaped shiny objects. He looked like a child peering through the window to a candy store. After a few long seconds, he nodded, "Yes, we like those." He used to steal such things, but the habit was something that was punishable and he never did it again while he was in his village.

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

"This is terrible..a halfling?" she sneered in disgust, but there was nothing they could do to change the fact that the abilities belonged to such a being. She thought about it for a moment, and then sat up, "Ah, but what if we could use a spell to force her human half out? And afterwards, we can find someone strong enough to break the seal?" She wasn't aware that it was Toshi that created the seal, which would have made it all too convenient for them if Toshi was cooperative.

[Kaguya]

Toishi looked to the now distracted Yuu and placed the gems and beads into his hand "why do you like them so much? What do you do with them? she was curious, she had never had to deal with trade so she was urious if they where used to show of to a potential mate or to show their wealth in society, it was just so confusing to her

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

"yes a half breed" he would reconfirm though he wasn't going to say anything about her non Tengu heritage if he could help it, as it was need to know and she didn't need to know. listening to her he brought out a peice of paper and some charcoal and drew the symbol passing it to her "that was the symbol and it was glowing white" he say begining to pur another cup of tea "It is a possibility 'if' we can find someone strong enough to break that seal... but" he paused for a second "if we where off by even a margin we would kill both sides"
