[Kaguya]

She opened her eyes and looked to him with a smile of sorrow, she took his hand in his "Nothing can hurt you in here" she said placing his hand on the wall allowing centuries of memorys flood him. He's see a small that looked like Toshi when she was younger helping her father place runes on the walls for safty and protection, after a moment she took his hand away "You will be safe here" she said again, her voice showing how lonely she was

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu's eyes grew wide in shock and horror and he almost fell to his knees, but he caught himself by shifting one foot forward. He has seen magic before, but never experienced it firsthand. So now he realized that Toshi wasn't quite the normal person she appeared to be. He moved his eyes around the room and back at her. He was happy that he was protected from the culprit, but he wasn't completely happy though, "There is still your sister. The runes don't protect you from her.."

[Kaguya]

Toshi looked at him going forward to help him steady himself "It was the best way to show you... I'm sorry" she say she really didn't want to say to much, but since his arrival somethings had returned to her "The protections where put there two hundred and eleven years ago" she say almost whispering that one thing

On hearing his concern she smiled "The harmony of the house must be kept" she say with a smile, she knew that while inside the house she couldn't be harmed thus was the reason she was dragged out of it to be punished "I do not fight, and can not stop the fact I am hurt because of this" she would say with a little yawn "When Ai goes to bed then I can rest also, you can stay with me or you can i can show you to a room" she smiled just as contently as she always did

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

He barely heard it, but he heard just how many years it was placed. He would have been more shocked if she hadn't shown him the origin of the runes. Yuu assumed that Toshi's longevity was due to the fact that she had magic on her side, but it didn't explain why the father wasn't around. He lowered his head slightly, "I would like to remain in a different room, if that is alright?"

[Kaguya]

Took his hand and smiled "Okay I'll take you to your room" she say with a content smile, sliding the door open she moved across the dining room and slid another room door open she touched a crystal making a light appear within the room.

It was simple, with a window, a futon and a low desk "I hope this is okay... you can personalize it if you want... Ai won't come in here and you can lock if from the inside if you want to feel safer" she say moving back out of the room "Good night... if you need anything just call" she say closing the room door and heading to the kitchen

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"Alright, I'll do that if I need something," Yuu quickly moved to the window after Toshi closed the door, trying to see if he could open the thing, and luckily he was able to flip the latch off and push the window open. A cold breeze hit his face as he stuck his head outside and planted his hands against the bottom of the frame. He was determined to figure out which room Ai was in and make sure to assess the room, but that's something that Toshi probably would have prevented him from doing if he tried to search inside the house.

He placed a foot on the frame and propelled himself out through the window, and before he could touch the ground he had his feather-covered arms spread out and flapped several times before he perched himself in a tree. A strange crow with a white crest on its chest, bright purple eyes, and black feathers that looked ragged and almost not suitable for flight. He was able to do this freely during night time, just like the other members of his tribe. Yuu cawed once and flew to one of the other windows of the building, his eyes seemed to adjust naturally to the darkness and everything looked as bright as day. Unfortunately, it was an unoccupied room with just a few pieces of furniture, so he flew back to the tree again to look around and pick out the next window.

[Kaguya]

toshi nodded to what he said and went to get the preperation for breakfast in the morning unaware what yuu was doing

Yuu would eventually find Ai's room, it wasn't as simple as the rest of the house it was lavishly furnished with jade ornaments, a mirror a bed covered in fine gold and red silks. Ai had just walked in and flumped on her bed mumbling about something

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu turned his head, spotting a glimpse of movement from one of the rooms. He ruffled his feathers and flapped over to investigate the room, almost expecting that it would have been Toshi rather than Ai since he thought Ai might have already been settled in bed, but to his delight he found out that it was Ai's room. Of course he couldn't do anything from the outside when the window was shut. However, he at least learned where Ai's room was, so when the right time came he could launch his attack on her. He flew around and straight back into his room, walking around to see if anything around the room had been disturbed while he was out since he didn't want Toshi to try to figure out what he was doing.

[Kaguya]

Toshi would be stil busy down stairs as she knew Ai was still awake and wasn't permitted to rest until Ai was asleep but she needed rest, it helped her heal but she knew for a fact Ai was in a bad mood just by the way she beat into her

Ai would be un aware of Yuu's presence, Toshi had made a good job in doing so, but then again Ai would have accepted him into the household and just took out the frustration on Toshi if he done anything wrong.

Yuu moving around the room would eventually have touched a panel that slid down revealing a small enlosure within it would be a picture of Toshi, with the man he had seen earlier, a beautiful woman who would have been the mother and a handsome son. The looks happy together, though on further inspection not everything was as it seemed on the surface

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu almost cawed out loudly when he triggered something when he was walking through the room and instinctively flew to a higher place to get away from the threat. On top of the desk, he could see that there was a hidden cavity within the room, and shuddered at remembering how one of the youngsters would frequently make use of the hidden passageways within the kitsune's residence to sneak up on him. His family and one other family within the tribe were very close to the foxes, and unfortunately he was also one of their favorite victims since he could be scared so easily.

Nonetheless, as long as the runes were active, he wouldn't have to fear the same thing happening in this place. He hopped down and walked over to it, looking up and down to see that there was a picture inside. His eyes picked up more detail than his human form could at that distance, and he found that Toshi was in the picture as well as three others. Toshi mentioned that she placed the runes up some two hundred years ago, and she also mentioned that the incident with that family happened over two hundred years ago as well. He felt like he was on to something but couldn't quite place his finger on it. Was Toshi a close relative at the time to the family who was lost, or something else? He wondered where the sister was. Maybe she was excluded, or..? A shiver went down his spine. He knew something wasn't quite right. He'd have to ask Toshi about it later.

He shifted back into his human form, and everything seemed to be shrouded in a blanket of shadows. The light was just enough to allow him visibility of most things in the room so he wouldn't accidentally bump into them due to limited vision. Yuu, instead of slipping into the futon, quietly moved his way to the door to listen to any movements outside, awaiting the time to take action.

[Kaguya]

Toshi blinked hearing her sister yell for her "I'm coming Ai" she said gently, moving out of the kitchen with a glass of ice cold water, though she jamp hearing another thunderclap the glass sliping from her hand in the main room and smashed upon impact with the floor.

Hearing the smash Ai slid open the room with a crash "You incompetant girl!" she snarled, Toshi was already knelt on the floor picking up the glass "I'm sorry, I got scared by the thunder" she say bowing low. Ai wasn't buying any of it, her eyes narrowed "ohh... the little baby is scared of loud noises" her voice showed an extreme condacending tone. Gripping Toshi's hair, toshi let out a sharp welp even more so as she gripped the broken glass in her hand and was dragged out side.

At the Door Toshi would be flung outside, and landed hard on the muddy ground, tears unable to be seen because of the heavy rain "Ai Sempai?" she mummbled. "You can stay there and get over your fear... you will not enter the household until dawn" was the only reply and with that ai closed the door heading back to her room

Toshi sat knelt by the door taking a peice of material out of her obi and placed it around her cut hand, she closed her eyes and started humming to herself every now and then stopping as a thunder clap happened, she was so scared. Right now she was at the whim of the elements and to the creatures and beings around the area, but she just thought on how much she had helped Yuu and it somehow gave her peace

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

All of the noises he heard outside of the room terrified him. He suddenly felt weak and curled up, wondering if he really had what it took to do what he planned to do. But out of all the stupid things he could have done, he slid the door open during the time the two were outside and left it open. Then he changed into his crow form and quickly flew to Ai's room and right through the open door. He scurried under the low desk to hide himself and waited for Ai to return, Stupid stupid stupid...I'll be punished for this!

It was too soon for him, since he didn't completely figure out the plan of action for the assault, and he shook uncontrollably. Yuu started to gnaw on his wing feathers in hopes of comforting himself during the tense time, and little bits of them fell to the floor. He stopped and huddled further back under the desk, away from the door.

[Kaguya]

Ai walked back into the room a sigh crossing her lips as she shook her head, closing the door behind her she went to the window to open it, it was overly warm for her "Stupid girl" she say moving to her bed and layed down "Sometimes I wonder why I was cursed with a sister like her" she growled touching a crystal to the right hand side of her the lights went out "She'll learn on way or another" with that all that was heard was gentle breaths as she fell asleep unaware there was another in her room

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu twitched, the sudden light change hurt his eyes and he shut them tightly before opening them again. He grew more disgusted with Ai after listening to her say the horrible things about Toshi, even though Toshi put her best into making Ai's life a good one. Rage boiled within as it burned off the fear that he had, and he walked out from underneath the table and glared straight at the bed where Ai was.

His vision became distorted as he shifted to a more humanoid form with his hands and feet still on the ground. He was dressed in all black, with a cloak that hooded his head and covered much of the robe he was wearing. His long tattered wings and ebony tengu mask barely poked out from under the cloak, but his glowing purple eyes could clearly be seen. He could only remember using this form only two times before, since he was only allowed to do it after being told to.

He reached forward, his hands looked like a mix between human fingers with a crow's leg skin on it. The claws gently brushed against the blanket as he peered straight down into the face of his victim. Almost all of his mind was focussed on Ai and satisfying the current bloodlust that he had. Suddenly, he grabbed her by the shoulders and flapped his wings once to shoot them through the window, and then he landed on the ground the same time he moved his hand to his side to draw out his sword.

[Kaguya]

Ai's eyes went wide as he felt her shoulder getting grabbed "What did I te..." her voice trailed off seeing the person above her, though her visions was blurred by rain hitting her face "Who the fuck are you?!" she demanded

Toshi heard Ai yelling and stoop from where she was she didn't think of anything else at this precise time, even her own safty. Seeing the figure looming over Ai, she froze "Please don't harm her" her voice was shaky she fell to her knees and bowed low "Please I beg of you" her voice filled with pain at the thought of losing Ai even if she was abused.

Ai heard her sister begging like a dog wanting to protect it's owner, it was only right after all, she was the only person that was left and she knew it. her dear sister was afraid of being alone and without a family to care for her, she thought this was enough to save her

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

With one hand still holding tightly to one shoulder, the chipped blood-covered blade moved slowly to Ai before stopping an inch away from her neck. Toshi's voice rang out to him and he was drawn out from the back of his mind, suddenly becoming aware of what was happening. He saw Toshi begging him to release Ai, but he stood motionless. This was a time he wish he could have been one of the lucky ones of his tribe, to be able to learn of the spells so he could at least place a curse on Ai. He didn't have such abilities though.

"Why do you hurt Toshi when she has been nothing but kind to you?" his deep, hoarse voice boomed out, hiding the fear that he was feeling and also hid his identity from Toshi since he sounded completely different. Just hearing himself speak in that form was a terrible experience for him since his voice was as loud and sounded exactly like his father's.
