[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu stared at the guard, taking a few seconds to decide what to do but he tried his best to collect what he saw from his past during such situations. He hoped he wouldn't get too deep into his acting while he pulled out the sword with the end pointed downwards and his fingers holding the sword's sides so that the details along the broad end were clearly visible to the guard, "Normally, such swords should not be held by anyone other than those who have the right of ownership, and I fear my family will impose their wrath on you if you lay a finger on it. But I can hold it up for you while you inspect it as you wish."

Yuu produced a fierce glare, as if telling the guard to hurry or else. Though deep inside, Yuu felt sick that he had to act like the ones who constantly hurt him while he was growing up. He felt even worse at how perfectly he mimicked the snobbishness of his family, and how he was treating the guard. But, he knew that neither Toshi nor the spirits of the sword would have wanted the weapon to be held by anyone other than the family or those who were worthy of holding it.

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

"I feel the opposite. I believe humans have much more freedom..though..beating up those marked is certainly fun," he chuckled at the thought of it. Of course Yuu wasn't the only one he beat up, there were other marked who he enjoyed punishing more than Yuu, but now with Yuu being the only marked left then that meant that his focus would now be on Yuu. And on top of that, Toshi as well.

[Kaguya]

The guard studied the swords blade as it was held out for him but went as white as a ghost, moving onto his knees quickly he bowed "I'm sorry Prince I didn't expect you to come so soon" his voice was humble believing he had been an annoyance to Yuu" Is there anywhere you would like to go Prince?" he remained in the dirt until he was instructed to rise, after all it was only proper

Ken'ichi rubbed his head trying to figure out why that happened then it dawned on him "I forgot I put that there" he chuckled to himself, once married he believed that it was only right that something of his wife was incorporated into the blade

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

Ai moved to a near by tree and climbed up as to remain out of site, pointing his hand to the forest near by "That is Midosi forest, the large tree in the center in Ira's tree... Try and sound as distressed as possible" he smirked happily knowing that soon the two runaways would have to pay the price for running away like they did

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

((oh noes! xD kaito and ai are moving too quickly! Yuu is stuck! x'D))

Yuu was almost unnerved by the sudden treatment and also by the fact that they had been expecting someone, which could mean trouble for him later on if they found out he wasn't the person they were expecting. He wished he could just ask the guard where Toshi was, but the instructions were to bring back Toshi without being seen with her. The sword was placed back into its sheath carefully, "I am simply walking around and exploring this village a little more. I have no destination, for now. ...You may rise. Return to your post."

-----------

"This will be too easy," happy as though it were a game, Kaito took off and the further he went on, the more he moved and acted distressed. It all played perfectly in his mind.

[Kaguya]

((Nah, ken'ichi would bring him out))

The guard rose as was instructed, though hearing his words the guard nodded "Prince..." he pointed to a temple at the top of a hill "The Priestess is over there, I am sure you will wish to see your betrothed at some point today as you are to be married this evening" little would Yuu know that the guard had just pointed out exactly where Toshi would be "Enjoy your walk my Prince" with that the guard would walk off to tend to his duties once more not believing that the prince actually spoke to him

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

Ai smirked "Like a moth to the flame" he say watching Kaito fly off knowing the inevitable outcome

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

Ira had Toshi laying comfortably on the grass brushing her hair as she slept, completely unaware of the happenings that where coming her way or even within the training Ken'ichi was doing with Yuu, and at this moment in time she really couldn't care as she, her forest and Toshi where all safe and secure

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

The blood from Yuu's face drained, leaving him pale. Not only had they mistaken him for someone else, but this other person was meant to marry in the evening, and he didn't want to be there when it was scheduled. He quietly did as the guard instructed, so he could at least explore the temple and be out of the temple before the time came for the marriage. In the meantime, possibilities of all the bad things that could happen ran through his mind and gave him doubt that he could even complete his task successfully.

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

Kaito landed on a branch of a tree upon seeing Toshi and Ira, surprised by how amazingly the supposed barrier had allowed him to easily fly right through it. He assumed the unfamiliar face would be the dryad that Ai had mentioned and made a ruckus while landing next to them, trying to wake them up as someone might have if they were in a rush to get help.

[Kaguya]

Ken'ichi heard the ruckus from outside the illusion but heid it unless he was asked to break it "Remember there are two sides of you, you need to rely on his strength as much as your own... after all if you go pale like that they will suspect something is wrong" his words moved to Yuu but didn't seem to be heard by anyone else

The illusionary Toshi would be sat in the middle of the temple garden humming the lullaby she had done before while doing her studies of magic, she wore bright baby blue and baby pink robes to reflect her possition within the tribe

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

Ira heard the squaking from the branchs above and jamp slighty startled at the sudden noise, slowly and gently moved Toshi's head off her lap as not to disturb her, but with way Kaito entered gave her cause for concern "Okay, okay... calm down your talking to fast I can't understand what your saying" her voice showed concern from him, she was a dryad and it was only natural for to show worry for another being of nature

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Ken'ichi had a point, but Yuu didn't know how to draw out his other side. He figured that it had to do something with his tengu form, but how to use it without having to switch was going to be a problem. Wake up! I Need you! he shouted in his head, hoping that the dormant other self was awake enough to hear him.

-----------

Kaito cawed out loudly and flapped his wings, walking back and forth as if motioning that he were signaling her to follow him, "Please help me! I need help...I can't save her by myself..." Kaito sobbed, and acted horribly stressed. He stopped moving around so quickly and stood there shaking.

[Kaguya]

Ken'ichi watched from where he was sat "it doesn't work like that... It's more subtle, but with practice you will get there" he tried to be supportive on the matter but he had never had to deal with anyone with a splintered spirit before so it was going to be tricky on how to help him learn

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

Ira follewed him a bit but then realized that he was needing help outside her domain "I can't go out there" she sounded worried and bit her lip "Who is it that needs help?" she needed to know who would be the best one to send for this task

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

He wondered exactly what Ken'ichi meant, but he soon came up to the temple, having traveled a little faster than he expected. He kept reminding himself not to give off any hints that there was anything wrong, and walked closer the the building.

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

"My mate...our nest...it was attacked and now she is badly injured. Please help," Kaito cried. He felt proud for making such an act and deceiving someone who was probably older than he was. He also found great amusement from it.

[Kaguya]

Toshi who had woken up and moved to Ira hearing the comotion looked at the Crow and smiled "It would be my honor to help your mate" as always her voice was warm. Ira bit her lip not wanting her to go but she had no other option fairies where to mischevious and she couldn't leave "Ken'ichi... your going to have to pause your training, Something has happened and Toshi will need a guardian" her words cooed to the entranced Ken'ichi who slowly and carefully brought the illusion to an end

"We will begin when we return" with that he faded back into the sword that Ira had placed on his side after his training had began "Keep an eye on her" her words where warm but it was cold enough to put a chill up anyone's spine

Toshi looked up to the crow and smiled "Okay lead the way" as soon as Kaito flew off she would follow close behind on slightly more stable legs than she had done the day before, totally unaware that she and Yuu where walking right into a trap

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu felt that something was a little off and walked with his hand on the sword. He had some comfort in knowing that he was carrying a weapon to whatever place the crow was leading them. However, Kaito on the other hand would feel mortified that Yuu had received such an elaborate blade and wanted to punish Yuu severely for touching such a elegant object, more so than just breaking any rules.

[Kaguya]

Toshi looked back at Yuu and smiled but tilted her head slightly seeing him on the defensive "What's wrong Yuu?" she showed some concern but she just thought it was because there had been attacked in the area they where heading to

"So... Where you there when your mate was attacked?" she just wanted to get some information so she could make sure the beings responcible for doing such a hanus act got there just deserts by Ira

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"Just...something doesn't feel right..." Yuu breathed lightly, but now he assumed he was probably on edge after coming out of the illusion or something had happened that changed his approach. It was unfortunate that he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Yes, I tried everything to protect her," Kaito cawed while he continued flying ahead of the two. Just a little more and they would be out of Ira's protection. He could just taste the sweet victory on the tip of his tongue.

[Kaguya]

"I trust you to protect me, so does Ira or she would have send one of the bears" she giggled lightly trying to lighten the mood a little, she thought it was just a figment of his imagination after all he had been training in an illusion and that gets everyone over stimulated especially on their first time training in such a method

She now realized the crow had not one feather out of place which seemed odd to her but she didn't take much notice of it at the moment as she was more worried about his mate "How much further?" she now began to run and though she almost fell a few times she always managed to catch herself

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Bears...Bears eat crows... Yuu cringed at the thought of seeing a feast being made out of a crow, blood and feathers everywhere. But then suddenly he realized something: normal crows don't speak in human language. The crow they were dealing with must have been gifted with magic or was another tengu. He came to the conclusion that it was a crow with the gift or was a tengu who didn't raise his ability of sensing. Nonetheless, the pace seemed to have gotten faster and Yuu picked up his speed.

"Not much further," Kaito turned on his senses, making sure that Ai was still in the area, and turned out that they would be in Ai's location in less than a minute. He wondered how Ai would come in. A surprise attack on the two would have been entertaining, he thought.

[Kaguya]

"Bears don't eat Crows, they eat berrys, fish and game" she chuckled continuing to follow the Crow, she understood animals naturally so it never occured to her that this crow was infact speaking common.

Ai had been watching since they had left Ira's domain, he noticed his sister on unstable legs and knew that she wouldn't be able to break a weak binding but he knew better than to underestimate a potential rival especially someone like his sister and place strong binding seals around the area that wouldn't just entrap Toshi but Yuu as well

Toshi fell to her hands and knees as soon as she stepped in the binding circle almost like she had fainted "Yuu I don't feel so good..." her voice was weak as she fell down compleatly into the dirt
