"Toshi!" Yuu stopped and knelt down. Then he looked up towards the crow as it continued flying, "Crow, can you stop for a minute? My friend just fell." Yuu looked back to Toshi and tried to get her to wake up.

Kaito landed on a branch, rage bubbling within over Yuu saying 'friend'. Marked were not allowed to have friends unless it's with other marked ones. Of course his senses told him that something unnatural was happening around the two, and it had Ai's aura on it. And he would have smirked if he could, but now the real fun was about to begin.

[Kaguya]

Toshi used everything she had to get to her knees, and looked around the area "Binding..." her voice was small but she looked to Yuu "Run! it's a trap!" but as soon as she spoke those words she fell back onto Yuu "Please run" her voice was so low it wouldn't have been heard

Ai jamp from a branch and look to his dear sister and her 'friend' "Toshi chan you looks so weak, you know you shouldn't leave home" his voice mimiced worry but Toshi knew it was nothing but a facade "You could have been bound by someone..." a smirk came to his lips "then who would do the chores?" he cuckled before muttering a few wourds under his breath

Before any would know it they would be back at the Toshi and Ai's family home "Welcome home Toshi chan, have our meal prepared in an hour" he still wore a smug smile knowing for a fact in her current state Toshi would need several hours to make anything up to her usual standards

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"This is.." Yuu stared at the place in horror, seeing that they had been brought back to point A. And then looked to Ai and Kaito, whose identity he figured out right after seeing Ai. He shook his head, "You evil monsters.."

Kaito flapped and landed on the ground, taking on his human shape. At least he could use some facial expressions in that form and he smirked evilly while approaching Yuu, and then grabbed Yuu by his arm and brought him up, "You've piled up quiet a few punishments, breaking so many rules. You'll be doing house chores from now on. And if I find you trying to escape again, I'll make it so that you wish you've never been born."

Yuu grabbed Kaito's arm and yanked it off, wanting to kill Kaito and Ai for bringing them back, but he knew that he could do nothing to hurt them within the house. Then it struck him that maybe Nobuo was trying to take over or trying to help him. He would have never dared to grab anyone like he just did, and immediately after that he grabbed Toshi and dashed towards the exit. If he could just get outside, then they would stand a fighting chance.

Kaito became infuriated by the treatment and drew out his blade. He went after the two, "You rat! Did you forget your place!?"

[Kaguya]

Toshi took Yuu's arm before she could be picked up and shook her head "We are safe here... We can't be harmed" for the moment she thought it would be best to stay, who knows what kind of traps lay in wait for them if they tried to escape

Ai's eyes went wide as he seen the blade been drawn "Do not disrupt the balance of the house Kaito San" his voice showing concern, Toshi looked at the house, she felt the energys shift as used Yuu to help herself up "Please forgive him, he isn't as smart and my friend Yuu, he has the brain capacity of a peanut and the memory of a gold fish" her tone was mocking but respectful all at the same time

She knew nothing could come of it as she was safe inside the house "Yuu, would you mind helping me to the kitchen... I have a meal to prepare" with that she bowed to both Ai and Kaito allowing Yuu to help her, she knew for a fact she would be punished later, Ai knew her routine when it came to left over food, but she would face it when it came to it

Ai reached out to take his family sword from Yuu but Toshi looked at him with narrowed eyes and Ai backed off knowing that it would best not be hasty about such matters, besides there were many ways to get the sword and the main one was through the treatment of his sister

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu had no idea what a peanut was, but the way it was put sounded derogatory. He would accompany Toshi back into the kitchen while helping her along, starting to shake at the things that waited for them in the future. Once they had gotten to the kitchen and away from Ai and Kaito's eyes, he expressed his worry, "We can't just stay here..even if we're safe inside, they're going to take us...." He trailed off, remembering what was said about Kaito's background. They had their trump card for at least one person, but would they believe his words?

[Kaguya]

Brought out a peanut and showed it to Yuu chuckling a bit, she thought he might not know what one was, she had no idea what was in store for them but she didn't like the thought of Kaito's threat to Yuu. She knew had to leave but she couldn't travel in her current state she needed rest and she knew Ai knew this

"I know Yuu, but in my present state we wouldn't even make it near the forest's edge before we caught... then who knows what will happen, besides we don't know if they have traps out there" she let out a sigh and began the task of making the food for them all "I will not let Kaito make you eat terrible things again Yuu, and I'll still help you to read and write... when we can find the time" she knew that their time would be slim but she'd enjoy what time they had together

"give me enough time to rest up and I can feel for barriers and traps" shewas begining to wobble a little on her feet, just to hear Ai calling for her, letting out a sigh she stopped what she was doing and headed to the mainhall to see Ai sitting at the table "Tea" with that he waved her off dismissingly, with a bow she headed back to the kitchen to deal with that ontop of the cooking

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"This is horrible.." Yuu was depressed not only over the fact that they were now stuck in the house for the time being, but also the fact that he probably wouldn't be much help to Toshi with the chores and she still needed to recover. He touched Toshi's shoulder, "Are you really going to be alright? Show me what to do and I can help you.."

On the other hand, one part of him was pushing him to take Kaito down. If he could just drive it through Kaito's head that he was the lower one, it could mean one less threat to them. He was very tempted to walk straight out of the kitchen and right into Kaito's face.

[Kaguya]

Toshi looked at Yuu as she felt his hand touch her shoulder and smiled gently nodding "I'll be fine... i have worked through a lot worse" she sounded distant as she spoke and began getting the leafs together for making the tea, though she looked to the boiling pot "Yuu would you mind putting the rice into the pot for me" she continued making the batch to Ai's normal taste, she knew for a fact at this moment in time they would be looking for any reason to hurt both herself and Yuu

"Yuu no matter what do not hand that sword over to anyone" her words where serious as she remembered how Ai went to take it "It can not be forcefully taken from you as it seems my family members have accepted you so it can only be given by free will" she leaned on the wall as she began to feel dizzy but pushed herself back to continue her task, she knew she needed to lie down but she wouldn't dare

"TOSHI CHAN WHERE IS OUR TEA" Ai called out from the mainhall he smiled at Kaito finding this amusing. Toshi move to the door and bowed slightly "If you want your tea quickly then stop bothering me... I am also cooking and I feel terrible" with that she walked back into the kitchen before she could see anything that Ai done.

"Seems Yuu has been an influence on her and not in the good way" he growled slightly and gripped his fists tightly, he was going to make her pay for disrespecting him in front of his friend

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu tried to do as Toshi had instructed, though was unsure about how much rice to put into the pot. It was his first time doing it. Inevitably he ended up putting in more rice than he needed to and shifted around feeling uncomfortable about how well he did his small duty.

---------

Kaito saw how much Ai was displeased with Toshi's actions, but he could even say that about Yuu. He shook his head, disagreeing with Ai, "Yuu was not the type for outbursts against his superiors. So it must have been the influence of what they have seen from outside the house." He was planning on whipping Yuu later, but it would have to wait.

[Kaguya]

Toshi looked over to the pit and seen it was slightly over the expected amount to feed the four of them but she knew that it would go to good use "Thank you Yuu, it was just the right amount" she continued with the tea making though conemplated taking away the honey and replacing it with soya sauce, she giggled lightly at the thought of how there face's would look if she done it

"Yuu on the top shelf of the right hand cabinate there is some daifuku, could you get it down for me" as she spoke she brought out a plate "All we need is four... one for each of us" she had finished making the tea and so got the cups and teapot sorted onto a tray. Once done she quickly went about getting a few other peices for dinner sorted

"We will be free again Yuu and when we are, we won't come back here until we can send Ai to the place he deserves and teach Kaito some manners" she really felt that now she was inside a guilded cage, beautiful as it was it was still a cage she feared she would never escape again

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

Ai listened to what Kaito said and his had relaxed "Nor was my sister, she would have never thought about leaving the family home... but you may be correct and it is an outside influence that has tainted them..." he took a small pause to smirk "But we will have fun 'purifying' them of such wicked thoughts and acts" he chuckled at the tought of teaching them their place once more

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu was happy to know that Toshi wasn't upset about his work, and performed the task that was assigned to him. And at least he felt relieved to know that Toshi was not going to just sit around and let Ai and Kaito run freely without doing something about them. Of course he would be there to help.

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

Kaito liked what Ai said: 'purifying'...at least in their own way. He wondered if he would be able to have the pleasure of punishing Toshi as well and nodded, "Of course you're welcomed to 'purify' Yuu at your own leisure."

[Kaguya]

Watched at Yuu placed four of the Daifuku onto the plate and smiled brightly "I think starting your magic lessons tonight will be a good thing Yuu" she began moving everything onto the tray but realized Yuu would be worried about her in her current state with magic being involved "don't worry i'll draw off the energy around the house for the lessons" she hoped that it would place his at rest knowing it would becoming from an outside source that she trusted

"We are going to get punished no matter what we do while we are here, just bare with it... Karma has a way of coming back to everyone" she smiled gently picking up the tray "When sitting down always placed the sword to the left hand side when Kaito or Ai around, it will show submission... if they think they have won we run less risk of being hurt and they will drop their guard sooner" she hoped he understood it meant they could also get out of this nightmare sooner

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

"I guessed as much, after all we are the heads of this household and they are 'marked' I believe the term is" he was trying to clarify so he wouldn't look the fool if Kaito ever said it infront of him "Here we call 'marked' 'Eta'" he brought his hand up to yawn slightly "Eta are non-people... they get all the tasks that are unfit for anyone else" he was unsure if Kaito was aware of such so wished to pass on the information

"What is mine is yours Kaito San, we are as good as family... in fact you are more like family than my parents or sister" he hissed slightly, he had always felt like the outcast, his father loved him but doted on his sister, his mother tried to bond but could never connect and he felt betrayed by Toshi for wanting to marry another

In that one statement he had given Kaito permission to do what he wished with his dear baby sister and he wouldn't give a damn, in his mind it's what she deserved after turning her back on him to follow what their father wanted and to run away with Yuu when she wouldn't do the same for him. His train of thought became unrailed as he heard the kitchen door slide open and Toshi stepping out "Sorry about the wait... I was feeling dizzy" her voice was soft as she bowed to both Ai and Kaito

Waiting for it to be returned she remained in her bow, once done she moved to the bottom side of the table she knelt and placed the tray down knowing Yuu would follow suit. she placed a cup in front of each person starting with Ai and Kaito before placing one infront of Yuu then herself, with this small task done she proceeded to pour in the same order quietly

when this was done she place the teapot down once again and lowered her head a little, she felt uncomfortable and so slipped her hand into Yuu's under the table for support, unless given permission she didn't reach for her drink nor for the cake that sat on the table, not that she would have, after all if her hands where full with cake how could she pour the tea if she was asked to do so

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Kaito sneered and growled. He had tolerated Yuu eating normal food at least once, but he was not going to let it happen again, "Yuu, you know full well that you are not allowed to eat such things. If you're hungry, go outside and scavenge for something." He knew that Yuu wouldn't dare think about escaping without Toshi, after seeing how Yuu had treated her.

Yuu squeezed Toshi's hand lightly and nodded. Of course he wanted to argue back at him, but that would have made Toshi's efforts meaningless up to that point. He bowed his head, "Yes, Master Kaito.. I will go outside.." Yuu stood up and left the group behind, walking outside and staring at the world around him. He was sure that there would be traps around the area, and Kaito would laugh at him and leave him there to starve. Yuu sat down, not setting a single foot on the dirt ground.

[Kaguya]

Toshi listened to what Kaito said and looked to Ai in disbelief as Yuu left the table, the rules where never to send anyone away that needed help. Yet he done nothing to help Yuu "That is horrid, he's a person not a savage!" her tone showed she was angry but her eyes darted around the hous and her head bowed "Forgive me" her words where humble as she apologised

placing her hands on the ground in front of her she bowed as low as she could "Please Kaito Sama, Yuu helps me with the tasks around the house... he should be able to eat properly so he can continue to serve" her voice shook she was willing to swallow her pride to make sure Yuu could have propper food, it hurt her the first time she seen him eatting bugs and the thought of him having to do it again made her want to burst into tears

"You said that you both could be the last of your tribe, he wouldn't be very much use if he was dead... Please show him compassion" she remained in her bowed position, compleatly unaware that Ai was smirking, he believed he proved his point to Kaito on her weakness about other being harmed "Perhaps... Kaito San, you should allow him basic foods... after all he would be nothing a burden if he got sick" he thought about it productivly as he knew for a fact if Yuu got ill Toshi had to look after him also and at the back of his mind he knew Yuu would have prority because of the stupid house rules

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Kaito was entertained from seeing Toshi begging and smiled as Toshi continued on, since obviously he wasn't going to show 'that' much sympathy towards either of them. After Toshi was finished, he chuckled, "Well then..I suppose. But under certain conditions. If we allow him to eat normal food, he must keep his plate on the floor and eat like the mutt he is, so no utensils or fingers. And he must eat it in front of us." Kaito thought that would be much more amusing to see Yuu put himself into a shameful position in front of everyone rather than having him go out to scavenge or food.

[Kaguya]

Toshi raised her head just slighty as she was spoken to "That is shameful..." she stood up and closed her eyes "A man should never eat like that" her eyes turned to the door and showed they where hurt but she couldn't make that decision for him but she really didn't like the thought of Yuu eating like an animal "Let him eat normally... I'll take the punishment" it sounded like she was about to start crying the way her voice began to shake, she waited to hear the reply before she went to get Yuu
