Chapter 10 Part 1

As morning comes Shizen sits by Jennifer's side as she sleeps in her room. Kairi is in her room as she gets ready and Hiki sits in Chazz's room as Chazz and Tori sleep soundly.

Hiki: (Sits in the corner of Chazz's room as she reads a book Kura had given her as Chazz and Tori sleep on the bed and gets up waking Chazz up first). Master it's time to get up.

Chazz: (Wakes up slowly and sits up sleepily rubbing his eyes). Fine, come on Tori.

Tori: Let me rest a little bit more....

Chazz: (Sighs). Alright.

Hiki: Gosh you two are such sleepyheads.

Meanwhile in Kairi's room.

Kairi: If I am training does this mean I do not have to wear a fancy dress?

Kura: I would think not Lady Kairi. I believe your sister wears a shirt and pants to train. You could do the same if you wish.

Kairi: Ooh I think I got something in town that would be perfect. (Goes into her shopping bags).

Kura: very good and Yami it is time to wake up.

Yami: (opens his eyes grumpily as he lies in a chair seeming to just relax rather then sleep). ... Huh?

Kura: It is time to wake up.

Yami: Go away.... (Closes his eyes again and seems to be pretending to sleep).

Kura: (Sighs and shakes her head). Shall we head out lady Kairi?

Kairi: No I guess we can wait for everyone else to wake up, it is early still.

Hiki: (Knocks on Kairi's door wearing a white simple gown with a black border).

Kairi: Come in, who is it! (As she finishes getting changed in the closet wearing a cute pink summer dress that look comfortable with black leggings and are black with pink to match. There is a little pink design on the end of the skirt and on the top a little as well. Her hair tied back with a pink ribbon into two ponytails).

Hiki: (Enters the room). Hello, good morning!

Kairi: (Happily comes out to great Hiki). Good morning Hiki, I like your dress.

Kura: (Bows to Hiki). Good morning Miss Hiki, do you like the book so far?

Hiki: Same to you Miss Kairi, your looking cute. Are you trying to impress Tori hmm and Kura what did I say yesterday. You are my friend so no bowing and yes I am.

Kura: Oh right my apolig-... My bad.

Kairi: (Blushes a little bit). I am not, I just like cute clothing... But do you think Tori will like them... Oh and I'm glad two are getting along.

Hiki: (Pats Kura's head). There we go and maybe he will maybe he won't. I don't know, I am not a guy.

Kairi: I hope so oh and later today I am bringing all of those bags of clothing I got for everyone to their rooms but how big is Chazz's closet. It may not fit all 3 of your things.

Hiki: Oh I can make it fit, trust me! (Waves her hands around with a big smile).

Kairi: (Looks confused to why Hiki waves her hands around but shrugs it off). Ooh or you could make the closet bigger.

Hiki: I could try.

Kairi: I will help them.

Kura: As will I.

Hiki: Well let me go make sure everyone else is up.

Kura: I have been trying to wake Yami but he will not wake.

Kairi: Alright oh and I heard what happened to sis. Is she alright?

Hiki: Yes she should be fine but master has insisted that she sit out of today's training so that she may rest.

Kairi: Oh alright sounds good, when do we start?

Hiki: We will start when everyone gets up.

Kura: Very well, I will wake Yami then. Yami wake up.

Yami: ... Go away.

Kura: ... I guess you will not be fighting Tori.

Yami: (Opens his eyes looking annoyed). Oh come on don't joke about that. Still got to pay him and Hiki back for pissing me off.

Hiki: Well I look forward to it then.

Kura: I apologies for his rudeness knowing he will not apologies himself.

Yami: Got that right, not going to happen. Besides I didn't do anything.

Hiki: Well you kind of did when you were scared of master were you not, hmm?

Yami: (Throws a pillow at Hiki). Shut up!

Kura: Hmm interesting that you did not throw a knife. Is it because she is a girl?

Yami: Shut up!

Hiki: (Stares closely at Yami). Hmm?

Yami: (Looks away feeling embarrassed). I could if I wanted to. I just don't want to.

Hiki: Whatever you say Yami. I must go to get master so I will see you outside.

Yami: Yeah, yeah whatever.

Kura: We will be there in a few moments.

Kairi: See you in a little bit. (Smiles and waves as she goes into her closet again).

Hiki: (Waves back and then leaves to get Chazz and Tori up).

Kura: Lady Kairi allow me to help.

Kairi: It is alright, I am almost done anyways.

Kura: Very good then.

Kairi: Alright I am done!

Kura: Then shall we head out?

Yami: Whatever, let's go. (Heads out with Kairi and Kura).

Hiki: (Meanwhile Hiki heads back to Chazz's room and jumps onto him). Master it is time to get up!

Chazz: (Having just finished getting dressed in one of his suits). Yes, yes Hiki I am up now.

Hiki: Yay!

Kairi: (Makes it outside and decides to practice barriers with Kura as Yami sits under a tree and relaxes).

Hiki and Tori: (Run outside to where Kairi, Kura and Yami are).

Kairi: Hi Tori! (Runs to give Tori a hug but ends up more like ramming into him).

Tori: (Falls down from the impact looking shocked).

Kairi: (Looks dizzy from ramming into Tori lying on top of him as she tries to get her head together).

Hiki: (Blurts out laughing). Are you two alright?

Kairi: I am fine.... (Sits up still looking a little bit dizzy still). Sorry Tori, are you alright?

Tori: I am alright, you just surprised me.

Kairi: I think I ran to fast, I am sorry.

Tori: (Pets Kairi's head). It's fine.

Kairi: (Hugs Tori). Yay!

Kura: This is very cute but I would prefer that no one falls asleep now.

Hiki and Tori: Falls asleep?

Kura: I have noticed when lady Kairi hugs and snuggles up to Tori or even a stuffed animal she falls asleep very quickly.

Tori: (Stands making Kairi stand as well). Well if that is true maybe she should not right now.

Kairi: Fine. (Pouts a little bit but stays close to Tori).

Kura: Very well when do we start training?

Hiki: We will start in a little bit and also master will not be coming since he is taking care of Lady Jenny.

Kairi: Alright, after training I want to check on sis.

Chazz: (Meanwhile as everyone else talks outside he walks to Jennifer's room and knocks).

Shizen: You may come in. (Is sitting on the bed beside Jennifer who is asleep her arm had grown back in the night but in a sling).

Chazz: (Walks in). How is she doing?

Shizen: She is doing fine. Her energy is still returning but she was able to heal her arm. Though it is back it is like a broken arm now so she still needs to heal some.

Chazz: Alright is there anything I can do to help her?

Shizen: Not that I can think of at the moment. She needs to rest though once she wakes I suggest that she should eat and drink something.

Chazz: Alright I will go prepare breakfast for her.

Shizen: Oh and if I may ask how is Tori doing?

Chazz: Tori is doing alright. He is living with the things you had told him.

Shizen: It is hard news to take in but he is strong just like his teacher. He will not let grief and suddenness hold him for long.

Chazz: Yes he should be fine since Hiki stayed by him most of the night.

Shizen: Very good of her and you did say you knew some healing correct?

Chazz: I just know the basics since Hiki had drilled them into me.

Shizen: Good for her, maybe that could help her arm heal faster

Chazz: Maybe.

Shizen: But for now do not worry about that. I will do what I can.

Chazz: Alright then, I will take my leave for the moment.

Shizen: Very well.

Chazz: (Leaves for a few moments to gather breakfast trays like pancakes and cinnamon rolls).

Shizen: (Feels Jennifer's forehead and fixes the sling. She changes her bandages if she sees some that need to be changed as well while Chazz is away).

Chazz: (After a few moments he comes back to Jennifer's room with a tray of food).

Shizen: Hello again, she is moving around a little bit so she may wake soon.

Chazz: That is good to hear and her food is all in order.

Shizen: (Moves to another place to sit in the room). I will let you sit by her. I can tell you care for her a lot.

Chazz: (Looks downward). Shizen may I ask you a question?

Shizen: Why yes of course, ask me anything.

Chazz: ... Have you ever been on a dark path where you do not know where you are and have no clue where you are heading.

Shizen: Yes of course, what have you been troubled with?

Chazz: When I was a kid I was in the lost road. No signs of me reaching a destination but I just kept walking.

Shizen: And are you feeling that way now?

Chazz: No, no not at all but it is something to think how it's easy to be lost in that dark sea or road.

Shizen: Yes it is, you had lived on the streets correct? Probably thinking of how you would survive the next day but then you came here and found a way out of that dark path.

Chazz: Well to be honest it is not true. It was much better than before but it was only a temporary feeling I still felt.

Shizen: I see so a part of you has that feeling where at any moment you could go down a wrong or dark path.

Chazz: But up until a while ago I have not had those feelings.

Shizen: Then if you feel that way now let me assure you that you will not take a dark path. (Looks at Jennifer). She will not let you and neither will your spirits.

Chazz: I am aware of that but right now I see stars along this path to light my way.

Shizen: And what are these stars?

Chazz: They are hope.

Shizen: And what hope is that?

Chazz: The hope of protecting the ones that matter the most to me and that I will not lose myself again in the dark ocean where I am alone.

Shizen: I believe you have answered your own question and the people you hope to protect will protect you in return. The child proved that yesterday.

Chazz: Well I was telling you why I care for Miss Jennifer.

Shizen: And she cares for you as well.

Jennifer: (Opens her eyes but still looks tired). I care for you as well. I can't lose you, you mean so much to me. Some may say you are just a butler but that is not true. To me you are much more than that.

Chazz: and what would that be madam?

Jennifer: (Looks down and away to hide her blush). ... You are not just a butler... You are as close in my heart as my sister is. I can't afford to lose any of you.

Chazz: Well I thank you very much for the affection but I am not planning to go anywhere just yet.

Jennifer: (Frowns looking upset). Just yet? You mean you were planning on leaving someday?

Chazz: No I was not.

Jennifer: Good... I like having you here and I wish for you to stay and if someone tries to take you away I will fight them and drag you back here. (Laughs a little at her comment).

Chazz: (Begins to laugh as well). Oh will you now? Who is the one taking me away is it Hiki or your sister?

Jennifer: (Blushes realizing how her comment could be taken). I-I didn't mean it like that and I do not think Kairi will take you away... More likely she will take Tori away from you.

Chazz: Now what about Hiki?

Jennifer: (Blushes more but then looks down). I meant from an enemy not a friend and Hiki is a great friend. I want everyone to stay. I do not want to ever say goodbye.

Chazz: (Pets Jennifer's head). Do not worry; if you command it I will not go anywhere.

Jennifer: But I do not want to keep you here if you do not wish to stay. That would not be right.

Chazz: Well what if I do want to stay then. I have to make sure you are taken care of.

Jennifer: Then I would be very happy.

Chazz: Then do not worry because I am your butler, no one else's.

Jennifer: Thank you... For everything. I may not be the easiest person to deal with but thank you for putting up with me.

Chazz: Oh trust me you are not but you are my beloved madam so all my attention must be towards you.

Jennifer: T-thank you. (Blushes as she sits up stiffly to gives Chazz a hug but winces as she tries to make it comfortable).

Chazz: (Bends down to Jennifer's height). Alright now there is no need to use all of your energy in order to give me a hug.

Jennifer: It is worth it, I just forgot about my arm... Wait my arms back! (Her eyes widen then looking relieved). Thank goodness I do not have to give up shooting my bow.

Chazz: I do think that you would still try even if it did not come back.

Jennifer: You are probably right though that would be hard to explain to everyone who works here and visits. Especially to my parents and the head butler.

Chazz: True I do not feel like explaining everything that happened while he is gone... I would fear for my job. (Looks like he remembers something suddenly). I almost forgot there is going to be a dance today.

Jennifer: I do not recall one being scheduled though I do forget those types of things.

Chazz: Well it is not actually for you.

Jennifer: (Looks surprised). It is not? Are you sure? Suitors usually come to a ball, are there none this time?

Chazz: (Looks around knowing that Jennifer will freak out). Well it is actually for lady Kairi since your family has been having a harder time with you and apparently they found a good amount interested in madam Kairi.

Jennifer: (Looks shocked). N-no she is nearly 15 still! She still has 1 years until suitors can take a interest in her! She is too young, I will not allow it!

Chazz: I am afraid we have not much of a choice madam.

Jennifer: (Looks very upset and angry). No I will not allow it! 16 is the age for suitors to court her and 18 and over is for marriage. There is still a year!

Chazz: Well you are going to have to talk about it with your parents. But I am sure it is just to see if they would like to pursue her when that time comes.

Jennifer: This is not fair! Just because I do not do as they say in this subject does not mean my sister needs to be pushed before she is ready.

Chazz: Well milady, Miss Kairi already said alright to it plus for the moment the dance is just to find a suitor they can agree upon. Kairi can choose as well and then they will be engaged at a certain age and then later on married. They have been doing this to you but you keep rejecting everyone so they had to move onto lady Kairi.

Jennifer: Because I do not want to yet. If I had known this would happen.... (Starts to tear up and cry putting her hands on her face as she looks down). I do not know.

Chazz: I understand your concern milady but it will be fine.

Jennifer: I just do not want her to end up with some jerk... I cannot really protect her in this condition. Could I ask you to look after her, do not worry about me. I can handle myself fine with those things.

Chazz: I was going to of course like I did with you. I will make sure the person is worthy of Miss Kairi and do not be silly. I am going to worry about you no matter what.

Jennifer: Thank you I just... Feel it is my fault for turning everyone away... I just am waiting for the right one to notice that I am right here.

Chazz: I know that you will find him milady.

Jennifer: Why is it so hard to tell your feelings to someone... Then Kairi would not have to do this.

Chazz: because feelings are hard to converse easily.

Jennifer: I guess so still I wish Kairi did not have to be pushed because of my stubbornness... then again she is about as stubborn as I am.

Chazz: well you two are sisters so that would explain that.

Jennifer: (laughs a little bit) how do you put up with us?

Chazz: that is a very good question.

Jennifer: (laughs more) hey you're not suppose to agree.

Chazz: I think at this point I am allowed to agree.

Jennifer: I guess I will give you that... thank you for cheering me up... I mean many nobles have dances a few years younger for suitors to think if they want to court them... So it is pretty common... I just think it's going to make her grow up faster then she is but to me she will always be my little sister and I will look after her no matter what.

Chazz: And I think Kairi wants that. She does not want to be treated like a little kid forever.

Jennifer: I suppose you are right but I do not want her to settle for someone. She is supposed to be with because their noble. I want her to choose who she loves. I do not care if their noble, commoner or even a spirit. I want her to be happy.

Chazz: Well we are talking about your sister here. She will more than likely be stubborn.

Jennifer: You are right, we are just a stubborn family. (Laughs but then yawns and lays back down looking tired).

Chazz: Well then go get some rest and relax then.

Jennifer: But I see the food over there. I do not want it to go to waste if you made it for me.

Chazz: Do you want me to feed you then?

Jennifer: (Blushes). No I can mange on my own. I am just tired again.

Chazz: As you say milady.

Jennifer: Today was when Kairi would train correct? You can go join them if you wish. You do not need to take care of me, I can manage.

Chazz: Well it is my job to take care of you.

Jennifer: I know, it is just that the fight would seem interesting to watch so I do not know if you were looking forward to it.

Chazz: The only thing that needs my attention is you.

Jennifer: (Blushes deeply again). Oh umm if you insist... Thank you. Very well but I think I will rest again. I feel as weak as the day you fell ill. I do not like it, I feel helpless.

Chazz: As you wish milady.

Jennifer: (Yawns). Thank you for looking after me with Shizen.

Chazz: Anytime milady, I will be here when you wake up.

Jennifer: Thank... You.... (Falls sleeps).

Chazz: Well Shizen are you going to watch the training?

Shizen: If you are fine with looking after her on your own.

Chazz: I should be fine.

Shizen: Very well. (Nods and begins to leave). Let me just say you two are adorable. (Leaves).

Chazz: (Begins to blush and get flustered). Gosh Shizen do not tease.

Jennifer: (Smiles as she sleeps with a slight blush).

Meanwhile back outside where the training starts.

Kairi: What kind of training am I doing today?

Hiki: It is mostly training for Kura and Yami but I will work with you on some basic magic for now.

Kairi: Ooh magic.

Yami: Come on let's fight already. (Sits up from where he sat under a tree and opens his eyes).

Kura: But we should wait for Shizen. She said she wanted to watch.

Yami: Come on hurry up then.

Tori: Yami calm yourself.

Yami: Don't tell me what to do.

Hiki: We are waiting; if you push to fight now then there will be no fighting.

Yami: ... Fine but your taking the fun out of it.

Kura: (Sighs and shakes her head). this will not end well for us if you rush in with no thought.

Yami: Hey I don't need your help!

Hiki: I think you would if it is 2 verses 1.

Yami: I don't care I will fight all 3 of you.

Kura: That would not end well for you.

Hiki: It really wouldn't.

Yami: Whatever.

Kairi: What should we do while waiting, oh right magic is it like the barrier stuff?

Kura: It is similar.

Hiki: Pretty much but you will also learn attack magic.

Kairi: Ooh then no one would have to protect me and I could protect myself.

Hiki: Pretty much so it's available to you in any situation.

Kairi: It sounds fun.

Kura: It is. (Out of nowhere a golf ball sized drop of water falls on Yami).

Yami: (His hair becomes soaked and give a angry glare). Hey!

Hiki: (Laughs and so does Tori and Kairi). Nice one Kura.

Kura: It was only a demonstration.

Yami: Not cool.

Kairi: Whoa cool.

Yami: I said not!

Hiki: Well you needed to cool down anyways. (Laughs at her own pun and so does Kairi as Tori looks at her looking ).

Kura: I see because of the water. I did not think of that.

Yami: That was kind of lame.

Hiki: Well it was funny to me.

Kairi: I thought it was funny too.

Tori: As did I.

Kairi: But you did not laugh.

Tori: Well umm... I think Shizen is nearby.

Shizen: (Smirks as she sits nearby ). Now what makes you say that.

Tori: Well it is just a guess Miss Stealth.

Shizen: I was only sitting here. If I were trying to hide you would still be talking.

Kairi: Whoa you look beautiful as a human.

Shizen: I decided I am tired of hiding so much. I am among friends who I trust.

Hiki: (Runs towards Shizen with the intent of poking her).

Shizen: And what are you doing? (Steps to the side).

Hiki: (Reaches Shizen anyways and pokes her very large chest a little bit seeming to have a curious expression).

Shizen: (Smiles finding this amusing). What are you trying to do Miss Hiki, it is still me.

Hiki: I am trying to judge them.

Shizen: And what is your judgment? I will not become embarrassed like the child.

Hiki: I must be cautious.

Shizen: Of what?

Hiki: (Back off). Oh nothing, anyways how is Jenny doing.

Kura: (Had covered Kairi's eyes as Kairi looks confused and Yami not giving a shit about it to say in his own words with Tori avoiding the area).

Shizen: She is fine but tired.

Hiki: Good to hear.

Shizen: But please tell me what you are cautious about.

Hiki: No need to worry please.

Shizen: Very well but I would like to know why you did this. (Grabs Hiki in the same way still amused by the action).

Hiki: Because I wanted to see your size.

Shizen: Thank you for telling me. (Lets go of Hiki). I cannot get flustered easily so you will have to try harder than this next time.

Hiki: (Laughs). I wouldn't want to because you are too big for me to handle.

Shizen: Thank you but yours are a good size, much easier for someone to handle. (Looks to everyone who is watching). My apologies to everyone for that.

Kura: Do you do this often Miss Hiki?

Hiki: Not really....

Kura: But you did this to Miss Jennifer yesterday.

Hiki: ... Maybe.

Kairi: But why just sis or Shizen.

Kura: I believe I am the same size as Hiki so there is no need to.

Hiki: (Looks closely at Kura and even pokes her chest). Hmm?

Kura: ... I think so. (Stays very still and holds back a deep blush best she can).

Hiki: It seems you are right. We are about the same.

Kura: I thought so.

Kairi: (Looks down at her own flat chest and frowns).

Hiki: What's wrong Kairi?

Kairi: I do not think I have a chest. Nothing sticks out... does that mean there is something wrong?

Hiki: No nothing at all. It just means it has not begun to grow as much.

Kairi: Alright I guess... Are boys supposed to have them?

Kura: ... Not exactly... You have not learned these things have you?

Kairi: Not really.

Hiki: Only girls grow them really and people come in all sizes.

Kairi: Oh alright then.

Yami: Can we fight? Enough of the girl talk already.

Hiki: Hey, hey girl talk is good too.

Yami: It's boring as hell. So you have a chest, what's the big deal. Now move on from it.

Kura: Very rude.

Tori: (Places a hand over Yami's mouth). Quiet will you?

Yami: (Muffledly yells at Tori to let go).

Kura: Much better.

Kairi: I do not see why fighting is so much fun.

Kura: Neither do I lady Kairi.

Hiki: Boys will be boys.

Kairi: I guess so.

Shizen: Though I do look forward to how Kura and Yami's training goes. Perhaps when you are done I could tell you stories of the past as a break from training.

Kura: I have always liked reading about history.

Hiki: It sounds nice.

Tori: I think I may pass.

Shizen: Very well.

Yami: The past sucks, why should I hear about it.

Kura: You have such an attitude today I see.

Yami: Hey!

Tori: Oh, oh.

Yami: Shut up!

Shizen: (In the blink of an eye she is behind Yami and pushes him forward a bit making him fall over and once he is pushed he looks like a 10 year old child again. His true appearance). This is your punishment for having no manners and not waiting.

Yami: (Sits up not realizing what really happened). Hey what was that for!

Hiki and Tori: (Stare and watch Yami's every move).

Yami: (Stands up and dusts himself off). What are you all looking at!

Hiki: ... Nothing.

Yami: (Stands up straight). Well quit staring.... (Looks up at Tori thinking "why does he seem so much taller than before").

Tori: (Tires not to look down since he knows it would cause a scene). Hiki why don't you go to train Mis Kairi for now.

Hiki: Ohh umm yes of course. (Walks Kairi away).

Yami: What the? (Keeps looking and makes sure he is standing up straight).

Kairi: But I thought you were going to do a team fight?

Hiki: Well I can teach you some of the basics for right now.

Kairi: (Whispers to Hiki). Alright but is it because Yami is about to freak out about being small again.

Hiki: Just a bit.

Kairi: Oh alright but can we watch from far away. I do not see the big deal, being short can be cool.

Yami: Wait.... (Stares at his hands realizing what has happened taking a moment to process it all).

Hiki: (Face palms). Kairi why?

Kairi: I thought I was quiet enough though.

Yami: (Looks all around then looks angrily at Shizen). What the fuck was that for!

Shizen: Such a big mouth for a child.

Yami: Turn me back!

Shizen: Why not accept how you look?

Yami: Just turn me back!

Tori: You have to be nicer than that.

Yami: I don't care if you want me to be nice just turn me back! (Throws a throwing dagger at Tori).

Tori: (Catches the dagger). You have to be careful with this.

Yami: Whatever just this is stupid. All this because I wanted to fight already but no everyone had to just take their time and it's stupid.

Tori: Fine we can fight while Hiki handles Kairi.

Yami: I better get turned back then.

Shizen: And I thought you wanted to fight no matter what. You have the same power. You are only younger.

Tori: Shizen if you would please so that he can be quiet.

Shizen: I was finding it amusing my apologies. (Appears in front of Yami pushing him backwards this time).

Yami: (Sits up quickly checking to see if he looks older than sighs feeling relieved).

Tori: Happy now?

Yami: ... Still a dirty trick. (Stands up looking around just to make sure looking at Tori again seeing Tori is now a few inches taller like normally Yami looking about 14). ... Why are you so tall it's dumb.

Tori: Because I am.

Yami: So are we fighting or what?

Shizen: I would suggest saving your energy until the team fight.

Tori: Hmm.

Yami: What?

Tori: Maybe we should wait.

Yami: Oh come on, girls take forever.

Tori: Well we got to be respectful of girls now.

Yami: Whatever, they still take forever.

Tori: Do not rush them.

Yami: (Sighs and jumps on to a nearby tree branch as he looks at the sky).

Tori: Yes, yes now Hiki please proceed with lady Kairi.

Hiki: Alright.

Kairi: Yay magic!

Hiki: Alright, now Kairi let us begin.

Kairi: What do I do?

Hiki: Well, try to imagine a ball of your own energy.

Kairi: Like when I make a barrier?

Hiki: Yes it is all about energy conversion. You allow your energy to become shapes and you can choose the element of those shapes. It is harder if it is not your own element and will always be weaker than your own element. I t is a hard ability to use but some even have a dormant second element they can harnesses strength. Especially humans.

Kairi: Whoa cool umm so I just imagine it.... (Looks at the ground and focuses).

Hiki: Yes just try for something simple right now.

Kairi: But I want to make a unicorn.

Hiki: No, no we cannot make living creatures.

Kairi: What about a statue of one?

Hiki: That would be made of ground.

Kairi: I could try making one with water.... (Goes back to focusing on the ground).

Hiki: Alright as you say.

Kairi: (As she focuses a mound of pebbles forms but does not rise to create a unicorn only a small gathering).

Hiki: Well that is a start....

Kairi: (Pouts a little and the dust and pebbles disappears once her focus leaves it). Aww I wanted a unicorn.

Hiki: Well you have to start somewhere Miss Kairi. You can't expect to get it right on the first try.

Kairi: I know maybe the next time.

Kura: ... Not that either lady Kairi.

Hiki: Magic is not that easy. You will not be able to get the hang of it so easily.

Kairi: Alright I have to practice. It is just like the barrier stuff.

Hiki: (Holds up one of her hands and a sphere of light appears).

Kairi: Ooh bright.

Hiki: It is pretty much the same idea but instead of just a barrier you have to focus your energy into one point and imagine what you want to do with it. Magic comes in any form. For example Tori's darkness blades, he invasions a sword that can travel through any shadow.

Kairi: Wow you can do that Tori?

Tori: (Had fallen asleep as he waiting and Yami has his eyes closed as well on the tree branch above Tori).

Hiki: Oh not again grr.

Kairi: I guess they had gotten bored from waiting.

Hiki: Yes but anyways magic need concentration in order to maintain the energy being converted from your body. If you lose focus of it, it will not happen anymore and the spell will disappear.

Kairi: So I need to focus, got it.

Kura: Yes shall I wake them up?

Hiki: No you can leave them for now.

Kura: Very well and also lady Kairi, meditation could help your focus as well.

Kairi: Oh like sis does?

Hiki: Yes that will help.

Kairi: Alright thank you for helping me learn.

Hiki: I will help more later.

Kairi: Sounds good, I will practice until then.

Hiki: Good, good.

Kairi: Alright what are you going to do now?

Hiki: Well Tori and I have to fight with Kura and Yami now.

Kairi: Alright I do not want anyone to get hurt though.

Kura: We can heal whoever is injured if needed.

Hiki: We will be fine.

Kairi: Alright just be careful.

Hiki: (Nods and then runs off to jump on Tori's lap). Hey, hey wake up!

Tori: (Wakes up immediately with a start). Yes, yes I am up now.

Kura: Yami it is time to wake up as well.

Yami: (Continues to pretend to sleep).

Hiki: (Hops on to the tree and pokes Yami).

Yami: (Looks annoyed as he swats Hiki's hand away and continues to rest).

Hiki: (Pokes Yami again).

Yami: (opens his eyes looking and sounding annoyed). What?

Hiki: It is time to head back.

Yami: To what?

Hiki: (Winks at Kura). Back to the mansion.

Kura: (Gives a confused look but nods).

Yami: For what?

Hiki: We are finished for today.

Yami: (Sits up looking grumpy and a little angry). Wait we didn't fight.

Hiki: Well then don't sleep.

Yami: We better be fighting still, I waited didn't I?

Hiki: (Pushes Yami off of the tree).

Yami: Wah! (Falls off of the tree and gets up quickly looking pissed off). What was that for!

Hiki: Well we are fighting now so I had to surprise you.

Yami: Finally, that was a cheap shot though! (Pulls out both of his knives).

Hiki: I never said I was going to be fair.

Yami: Jerk! (Readies his knives and throwing daggers).

Kura: Yami please allow me to help you.

Yami: I don't need help!

Hiki: Kura I understand your feelings but he needs to learn he cannot win alone sometimes.

Kura: Yami call me when you want me to help. (Sits down by Kairi with a sigh).

Yami: Yeah not going to happen.

Kura: (Sighs and shakes her head again).

Tori: (Sits by Kairi and Shizen sits by Kura's side as they watch).

Kairi: Tori, you are not going to fight?

Tori: Hiki is the best match up against Yami since she is light, plus she asked me too.

Kura: If he takes out energy I will put up a barrier.

Tori: Hiki will too.

Shizen: Hiki if you wish to focus on the fight more I will handle the barrier.

Kura: ... This will end badly for him.

Yami: Hey stop calling me weak!

Hiki: No one is, stop being melodramatic.

Yami: I'm not-! (Pauses as he thinks what melodramatic could mean). ... That.

Hiki: Whatever.

Yami: Are we fighting now or what? (Readies his knives).

Hiki: (Pulls out her katanas, both swords are a snowy white as they shine. In a blink of an eye she starts charging with both swords ready to strike).

Yami: (Strikes a Hiki with both knives).

Hiki: (Strikes back at Yami blocking both of his knives).

Yami: (Tries to push Hiki's strike back making it a battle of strength as he tries to overpower Hiki).

Hiki: (Manages to keep her footing and strikes at Yami again).

Yami: (Readies to strike with one knife and strikes at Hiki with the other).

Hiki: (Continues to strike at Yami rapidly to leave little to no openings).

Yami: (Blocks Hiki being unable to strike at her that much as he tries to keep up the same speed as Hiki moves making him struggle).

Hiki: (Her strikes at Yami become faster and faster each time).

Yami: (Starts to get pushed back but tries to push Hiki back but is barely able to keep up with her as it is).

Hiki: are you going to do any better than this?

Yami: Shut up! (Gets upset as he puts more power into his next strike. The way he seems to fight seems to be very flexible and close range because of the knives with power to follow up those strikes).

Hiki: (Dodges Yami's attacks easily with her speed).

Yami: (Strikes again with one dagger and sheathing the other, throwing a throwing dagger at Hiki instead).

Hiki: (Dodges the dagger and strikes at Yami again keeping to occupied to throw another).

Yami: (Blocks Hiki, backing off so he can throw another dagger and then unsheathes his other knife and rushes at Hiki).

Hiki: (Pulls up a barrier to block Yami as she strikes through the barrier).

Yami: (Barely dodges as he backs up and then tries to stab and break the barrier but flies backwards).

Hiki: (Attacks Yami combining light magic with her swords to help extend the reach of her swords).

Yami: (Dodges and backs up a little bit looking like he is struggling to stay out of reach of the swords).

Hiki: (Walks closer to Yami and slashes at him).

Yami: (Blocks as he backs up more becoming frustrated).

Hiki: Is this all you've got, show me more Yami. Show me you are strong as you say. It's like you are hiding.

Yami: Shut up! (Gets angry as he strikes back. Darkness from around him including from Tori, Kairi and Kura slowly being absorbed).

Kura: (Puts a barrier up and a extra one around Kairi). Looks like he is angry now.

Shizen: I should handle the barrier since I am not a dark element spirit.

Kura: Fine but I will leave the one around Kairi.

Shizen: Very well. (As the darkness barrier fades a green barrier forms).

Hiki: (Sets up a extra barrier around everyone for protection).

Shizen: That works as well but we may be hard to hear from inside of here... Right she cannot hear that.

Yami: (Strikes at Hiki again darkness being taken from wherever it can).

Hiki: (Continues to strike back at Yami).

Yami: (Is able to almost match Hiki's strength of attacks but not her speed).

Hiki: (Begins to strike at all angles at great speeds to overwhelm him).

Yami: (Is unable to keep up and gets more frustrated, absorbing more darkness making his attacks more powerful).

Hiki: (Manages to land a few hits on Yami but intentionally with the blunt part of her blade).

Yami: (Some of the darkness he absorbs goes to where the strikes had hit him as he continues to strike looking angrier). Stop making me look weak!

Hiki: You wanted to fight, so fight.

Yami: Don't tell me what to do! (Strikes with more power making Hiki take a step back. Shadows surround him as he gets angrier than before).

Tori: (Looks at Yami questioning the darkness).

Shizen: (Looks like she had seen this before, like it is familiar but cannot place from where she had seen it quite yet knowing it should be obvious).

Hiki: Fine then Scared Flames! (Her swords light up with white flames and the swords change into their new form).

Yami: Bring it! (Throws a throwing dagger as he charges at Hiki).

Hiki: (Dodges the dagger and charges at Yami as well).

Yami: (Blocks Hiki being pushed back but then pushes back as well).

Hiki: (Gets pushed to the ground but continues to block).

Yami: (Continues to push Hiki's swords down when she blocks as he still looks angry but his eyes look different now... His eyes still red but glowing and the white part of the eyes now black).

Hiki: (Kicks Yami off of her). I never liked forceful guys. (Charges back and strikes Yami's arms).

Shizen: (As Hiki and Yami continue to fight her eyes widen, frozen in a look of shock surprise and a little fear as she sees Yami's eyes).

Hiki: (Gets struck in the shoulder and stops for a second because of shock seeing Yami is blinded now by what appears to be his power and emotions, both being unstable).

Tori: (looks at Hiki with concern sensing something is off).

Shizen: Stop him... His eyes there.... (Is in shock as she tries to make sense of it). Their just like... his son... Tori he has the eyes of your teacher's son Izumi... The one driven by power... how is this possible... I thought he....

Kairi: (Looks at Shizen with concern). Will Hiki be alright?

Tori: She will be.... (Disappears and reappears in front of Yami blocking him).

Yami: (Strikes at Tori his eyes still looking different as he slashes. It is almost like he is in a blinding rage).

Hiki: What are you doing Tori?

Tori: Hiki... Move back to Kairi... Now.

Hiki: But Tori. (As she pulls on Tori's arm she sees a tear come down). Tori... (Disappears).

Yami: (Continues to strike but now his target being Tori in a blind rage). Stop looking at me like that!

Tori: (Punches Yami into a tree and causes the tree to break).

Yami: Gah! (Gets up and charges again, darkness still being taken from the things around him including Tori).

Tori: (Blocks Yami's again).

Yami: (Does not stop striking but a bit more wildly though leaving himself open in some points).

Tori: (Kicks Yami with the same result as when he had punched him).

Yami: (Gets up stiffly, a bit slower than before and a little out of breath as he readies his daggers after throwing one of the throwing daggers at Tori).

Tori: (Charges at Yami and pins him to the ground).

Yami: (Struggles as he tries to get up and push Tori away being in a type of fight or flight).

Tori: (Holds Yami down with a seal in his other hand).

Yami: (Continues to struggle). Let go!

Tori: First you calm down!

Yami: Just let go! (Struggles more but looks tired from the fighting).

Tori: No calm down you idiot!

Yami: (Struggles less being out of breath from the fighting and crashing through 2 trees).

Tori: (Picks up Yami with his sword ready).

Hiki: Tori no!

Yami: (Glares at Tori then seeing his daggers on the ground looks back at Tori and glares again).

Tori: Your master took everything away from me! My only real idea of a family!

Yami: ... What the hell are you talking about I didn't do any... (His eyes widen). How do you know who my master was?

Tori: He was my master's son, because he wanted power he almost destroyed everything! Then he took everything from me! (Places the sword close to Yami).

Yami: What are you talking about dad didn't-. (His eyes widen to what he had just said knowing he just let out information he never meant to let out looking shocked knowing he messed up as he covers his mouth).

Tori: (Drops one of his swords next to Yami dropping him as well). You want to fight... Then pick up your weapon... Know that if you do... One of us will die.

Yami: (Crawls panicky away backing into a tree covering his mouth still. His other hand touching his dagger looking back at it seeing his eyes in his reflection and stares in shock). No... Not again.

Hiki: I need to calm him down! (Tries to get out of the barrier frantically Kura seeming to do the same even more fanatically).

Tori: (Stands by Yami as he waits).

Yami: (Gets up and walks over to Tori looking away and also away from his reflection on his knife in his hand).

Tori: So you know what it is then.

Yami: (Looks at the knife for a second then readies himself to fight but looks like his heart is not in it). ... Sure whatever... Lets fight.

Tori: (Doesn't respond to Yami as he readies his twin blades Yami able to see a fire burning with black and white flames in his eyes).

Yami: (Looks away). I have seen that look towards me many times so go ahead, take your revenge... I'm done.... (Looks back at Tori, his eyes still red and black but the red part glows more as his other knife appears in his other hand but he has a look of sorrow and sadness as he readies himself).

Tori: (Charges forward and readies his strike but his swords stop just a couple inches away from Yami).

Yami: (Blocks the swords but it's clear that he is holding back and slashes at Tori missing and backs up readying himself to block or attack again with the same expression in his eyes). That all you got?

Tori: (Kicks Yami same as last time). Are you really ready for this fight... Is your heart in it?

Yami: (Gets up stiffly as he readies himself again charging at Tori again but still holding back a bit leaving himself open on purpose). Shut up and just get it over with!

Tori: (Grabs Yami's arms and throws him to the ground). If you can't accept your past then you are not worth fighting. (Looks at Yami with slight tears). Do you want to make Kairi lose one of the people she cares about?

Yami: (He jumps back up charging again). I don't care! I know my time's up so just get it over with! I'm tired of fight! (As he is charging Tori can see that he is crying but does not aim at any main part of Tori that it would be fatal as he lowers his other knife not blocking leaving himself open).

Tori: (Takes the hit from Yami not letting him toss the knife away). Well you may not care but someone else does... More than you will ever know.

Yami: I'm done living with being hunted like this... Just because of who my dad is... Just get it over with.... (Takes Tori's hand that hold his sword placing it near his own neck).

Tori: (His sword disappears as his body hits the ground).

Yami: What's wrong with you, can't do it? (Notices he is still taking energy from things around him including Tori because of his emotional state currently). ... What too weak to do it now?

Tori: (Energy begins to pour out of his wounds).

Hiki: (Screams with tears in her eyes). Tori don't you die!

Yami: That's... Not how I wanted this to end... I won't let it end this way! (Grabs Tori's arm slinging it around his shoulder and carries him towards the barrier).

Tori: (His energy slowly dies out as Yami absorbs Tori's energy. He begins to see some memories from when he was with his old teacher).

Yami: Come on you're not dying yet! (Looks at Hiki)! Open the barrier now!

Kairi: (Watches with tears in her eyes heavily).

Shizen: (looks away and Kura wanting to run out and heal but Shizen is stopping her).

Hiki: (Wants to run and help Tori but she cannot bring herself to do so her to do so being in shock and knowing Kura and Kairi would be hurt even more so possibly).

Yami: (Carries Tori until they are near the barrier). What are you doing open the barrier already! Do you want him to die!

Kairi: (Cries as tears run down her face). Please don't die!

Tori: (Puts his hand on Yami's shoulder). Who said I was... going to die, now... Listen to the memories.

Yami: What are you talking about! just get in the barrier before I absorb all of your life energy! Don't die because of this! It's happened enough already! I don't want to keep hurting people like this! (Dark energy swirls around his fist as he forces a opening into the barrier making Tori go into the barrier then closing it as tears go down his eyes falling to his knees as he breaks down).

Hiki: (Falls on to Tori as her hair flows down onto him as she cries).

Kura: (Rushes over to heal Tori and restore his energy). Do not worry. I can heal and restore energy of dark spirits much easier).

Yami: (Is outside of the barrier on his knees with his head down).

Kairi: (Cries as she sits next to Hiki and Tori). Will he be alright?

Kura: He should be, any longer out there and he wouldn't be.

Hiki: I don't want to... Lose my family....

Kura: He will be fine. He is unconscious though Yami bringing him in here is what saved his life.

Tori: (Wakes up and looks around weakly).

Kura: Are you alright Tori?

Kairi: Please be alright.

Tori: I will be fine....

Yami: (Still has his back turned as he looks down from outside of the barrier then energy being taken by him slowly coming to a stop, the barrier going down at the same time).

Kairi: Yami... Are you alright?

Yami: (Does not answer).

Tori: (Stands up with help from Kura's energy as Hiki refuses to get off of him).

Yami; (Stands and walks away from the barrier). ... I'll leave so you don't have to bother telling me to... Or do you still want your revenge.

Tori: (Walks over to Yami with Hiki clinging to his arm as she looks down). It's alright Hiki now, now come on. (pets Hiki's head).

Hiki: (Tears run down her face as she clings to Tori more).

Tori: Well then... Yami.

Yami: (Sighs in defeat and almost as if to emotionally drained to fight anymore). Why not take your revenge... I'll even pick up my dagger again.... (Kneels down to pick up his dagger).

Tori: (Slaps Yami's hand away from the knife). You know what your eyes were, so you reject them with that past. I have no reason to slice you down.

Yami: I wouldn't blame you! Not like I can tell you where he is! He disappeared a while ago and left us so I'm the closest to your revenge you can get so just get it over with!

Kura: (Looks down silently and away to hide tears from everyone else seeming to have great ties to the topic she wants to keep secret).

Tori: They're both dead, what revenge do I have to take.

Yami: (His eyes widen in shock). No... Y-you're lying! He said he would come back for us, he said he would come home!

Tori: He would come back after destroying everything... What would be left?

Yami: He said he was making things better!

Tori: If he wanted to make things better he did it the wrong way! He became obsessed with power and it destroyed him in the end!

Yami: No your wrong he.... (Starts to cry as he goes through his memories). ... He left us all alone... We waited and he never came home... Even on the streets we waited... Why couldn't you come home! (He punches the ground, a small crater forming when he does so).

Tori: (Slaps Yami). Don't tell me you felt alone when it was the same for me being promised he would come back and then he never does.

Yami: At least you didn't have to be a burden on the ones taking care of you! Everyone who took care of me eventually went away so why bother getting attached!

Tori: At least you had someone! I was alone, all I had was myself so don't tell me to not get attached when I didn't have anyone at all!

Yami: At least you didn't have to watch them die just because you were the kid of who they hated... They died because I was too stupid to just stay put and hide... Because we were looked at like monsters... I didn't want to be one.... (Looks down as tears start to fall).

Tori: (Looks up at the sky). Looks like we have more in common then.

Yami: No we're not, you were raised by a guy everyone looked up to while I was raised by a guy everyone hated... I don't blame you for hating me.

Tori: But we understand the feeling of being left behind.

Yami: (Shrugs). I got used to it, at first it was my dad... Then my big brother... Then my big sister... I figured since I am the youngest I would be last to go but it hasn't happened yet so maybe I just meant to stay alone so no one else got hurt.

Tori: Yami there's one thing you don't understand.

Yami: What?

Tori: I may have been left behind by my teacher but I have a new family Hiki, master or umm Chazz, Madam Jenny, Kairi, Kura and everyone else.

Yami: And what makes you think they will stay. In the end they will just leave like everyone else.

Tori: That's the funny thing... I have thought about that many times but it doesn't matter I still have their memories within my heart and I will fight to protect those memories.

Hiki: (Pulls Kura up with her so that they stand Kairi and Shizen standing as well).

Yami: ... It would be better if the sad things would just be erased.... (Looks down sadly as he remembers his past).

Hiki: Shizen stay here, Kairi you come with us. (Walk over to Yami with Kairi and Kura).

Tori: True sad things are well umm sad but do you regret the happy times?

Yami: ... I guess but if I go back... I have to go back to hiding... That's why I hid my eyes... So no one would know who I was....

Tori: Why were you hiding?

Yami: Everyone who hated my dad went after us when he disappeared... Because he killed the people's families or ruined their life some other way... I'm not really sure, just my guess... My power didn't really help so was just hunted like a monster... Didn't mean to hurt them... I just....

Tori: Well he did since he sought power right?

Yami: Yeah he may have done that... I mean he still was my dad... My sister had told me he was better before mom died but I didn't know her so I wouldn't know.

Kura (Looks down and away again hearing Yami, hiding her face).

Tori: That's what loss can do to someone. They lose their way and are unsure of what to do.

Yami: So I had to lose my only family left, it's not fair! (Hits the ground again as he starts to cry again).

Tori: (Holds his hand to Yami).

Yami: What do you want...? A few minutes ago you wanted to kill me just for being the son of the guy who killed your teacher.

Tori: Let me tell you something... I haven't forgiven your teacher or umm dad but I can make sure you don't follow the same type of path.

Yami: Don't bother... I'm just like him... I did everything I could to control this power but it always hurts people... My sister told me my mom died having me so it was my fault to how everything went... But I guess he went crazy and tried to bring her back... This power makes me the same.

Tori: But you are different.

Yami: How, I get angry like him... I have his ability to steal dark energy... I even have his eyes so that anyone who has seen him knows I am his son.... (Eyes turn back to red with black again as he says this and looks down).

Tori: But now you have people that will keep pulling you back when you are too far.

Yami: ... And it doesn't change your mind if I told you I have killed people before?

Tori: It did not change my teacher's mind.

Yami: ... Why did you kill, were you hunted as well?

Tori: They were just disrespecting me in a way and I was young and still learning my energy... I have regrets.

Yami: Sounds about the same... Some guys I think bounty hunters were talking bad about me and my sister... I should have never done that... She would still be here if I didn't... (Looks down sadly).

Hiki: (Puts her hand on Yami's shoulder).

Yami: I killed the people who killed my brother then the same thing happened to my sister... I had to watch them die... Then I tracked the guys who did it and... I'm just like my dad I'm not even in my teens as humans call it and I already have blood on my hands I guess.... (Turns away sitting with his back facing everyone as he looks in the reflection in his knife his age changing to what it really is looking about 10 years old).

Hiki: (Pulls Kairi and Kura closer to Yami).

Kura: ... Yami.... (Looks at Yami not sure on how to respond as if she is struggling to not say something that she struggles to hold to herself).

Kairi: ... Is there anything I can do to help make you happy?

Hiki: (Whispers to Kairi and Kura). Why not a hug and say that you are there for him.

Kairi: Of course I am. Yami is my spirit after all, and even when you said that you were an evil spirit when we first met I could tell you were still good. (Hugs Yami and Kura does as well).

Yami: (Wipes tears from his eyes looking away).

Tori: Come on, accept them already. I think they do not plan on going anywhere.

Yami: ... Fine.... (Turns around to face everyone, Kairi and Kura not letting go of him).

Shizen: (Stands beside Tori). In a way he is just like you. He just needs to learn like your teacher had taught you and not someone like his son's path.

Tori: No he doesn't need to learn anything. He just needs to know if he goes to far we will be there to pull him back.

Shizen: That as well.

Yami: (Looks at Hiki then looks away from her). ... Sorry for hurting or scaring you or whatever.

Hiki: (Bops Yami on the head). Don't worry you idiot.

Yami: Hey I'll fight you again... Yeah no I don't feel like it anyways... Seems like a bad idea.

Kura: You said no to fighting?

Yami: ... Shut up.

Hiki: Well that is progress I guess.

Yami: ... Don't push it.

Kairi: (Grabs Yami's head looking at his eyes).

Yami: (Gives a confused look). ... What?

Hiki and Tori: (Look confused to what Kairi is doing).

Kairi: Can you go back to those other eyes, the ones with black in them.

Yami: Why?

Kairi: (Shrugs). I don't know.

Yami: (Changes his eyes). I don't like it though.

Kairi: (Gives a amazed look). Whoa cool.

Yami: How is that, it's the eyes of my dad how is something shameful cool?

Kairi: They just look cool.

Hiki: (Laughs). Well they do look kind of cute on you Yami.

Yami: I'm not cute!

Shizen: (Laughs). Well I did think they looked cute when his siblings and his father were babies.

Yami: They're not cute!

Hiki: They are just a bit.

Yami: (Crosses his arms grumpily).

Kura: Hiki do you need me to heal your shoulder?

Hiki: If you would please.

Kura: (Goes over to Hiki, her hands glowing of darkness as she places her hand on Hiki's shoulder).

Kairi: Hiki are you alright?

Yami: (Looks at Hiki with what looks like almost concern but tries to hide it).

Hiki: Yes I should be fine. I just need to rest for a little bit after the healing is done.

Yami: Yeah... Sorry.... (Looks away).

Shizen: It is unlike you to apologize so much.

Yami: ... Whatever.

Tori: Well alright I am going to go sit down then.

Kairi: ... Tori... Were you two really going to fight... To the death.... (Frowns looking upset as she says this).

Tori: (Doesn't look in Kairi's direction). ... Yes I was blind with rage and all these other feelings... I lost myself for the moment... I am sorry to show you that side of me.

Yami: Yeah I'm in the same boat... I mean just look at what I did to Hiki... Sorry.

Kairi: I see... (Walks over to Tori after hugging Yami again and looks up at Tori).

Tori: (looks back at Kairi regretting how he had acted out even more with her seeing him like that).

Hiki: Hmm Kairi?

Kairi: (Hugs Tori) ... I'm sorry you two had a hard life but I want you to be happy and not go through sad things or feel angry... I want to help everyone to smile and be happy again.

Tori: Thank you lady Kairi. I will remember that.... (Begins to tear up a little bit).

Kairi: (Looks at Tori with concern). What is wrong?

Tori: I'm not sure... I guess I'm losing control of my feelings again.... (Falls to his knees looking down as tears fall).

Kairi: (Continues to hug Tori). It's alright.

Yami: (Walks over to stand in front of Tori since he's in child form he is slightly taller than Tori is since he is kneeling).

Tori: (Continues to look down).

Yami: Come on, there's been enough crying. Call it a truths if you want. (Offers his hand turning it into a fist pointed out to Tori).

Tori: Fair enough. (Put his fist out as a fist bump with Yami as he stands).

Yami: Deal... Your teacher or dad or whatever, he was to you was my dad's dad right... I guess he was my grandpa... I didn't see him often but whenever he did come by he would spoil me and my brother and sister when I was smaller... He was cool guy.

Tori: He really was.

Yami: (Smiles and then laughs a bit). If you were his son I guess that makes you another uncle or something. (Laughs more).

Kura: He's laughing... That's a first... First in a long time

Tori: If that is true then I have to spoil you sometimes too right. (Begins to laugh as well).

Yami: Yeah right but your not telling me what to do. I'll fight you again.

Tori: No sonny I have to put you in your place sometimes. I will give you a hard time. (Laughs more feeling better to joke around a little).

Yami: Don't talk like your old your about as old as my bro-.... (Stops himself then looks upset as he looks away). ...you're not him.

Tori: Well it's true I am going to give you a hard time because we are friends aren't we and hey, hey no more tears remember?

Hiki: (Pulls on Yami).

Yami: I'm not crying. (Wipes his eyes and looks at Hiki). What?

Hiki: (Kisses Yami on the cheek). No more sadness for Kairi. Remember if you are going to be sad go talk to her about it before you cry again.

Yami: (Backs up instantly and rubs his cheek). Yuk, don't do that.

Shizen: (Laughs). Oh come on, do you really hate germs like that that much?

Hiki: (Giggles at Yami).

Yami: But yeah I get it just never do that again... Try to.

Kairi: Will you be alright now at least... No more saddness?

Yami: Yeah I'm fine.

Hiki: (Pushes Yami to Kura). Don't you have something to say to Kura also.

Kura: (Catches Yami who stands there holding him but there seems to be more to the hug and more she wants to say but holds back). I umm... Suppose I was a little hard on you before about your manners... I did not consider something like this... My apologies.

Yami: Don't worry about it.

Kura: I am honored to be teamed up with you... If you allow me to help you. (Bows to Yami).

Yami: (Blushes feeling a little embarrassed). I-I said no big deal.

Hiki: No, no Yami you say something to her too.

Yami: ... Fine... I will try to work with you but don't expect me to have manners and stop bowing already.

Kura: Yes... Thank you....

Hiki: (Sighs). I guess that's a start.

Shizen: Yes you have to start somewhere.

Yami: Whatever and Tori... Someday could you tell me about my grandpa or your teacher I guess... Or dad. I don't know just tell me more of what he was like?

Tori: Of course.

Yami: Thanks.... (Smiles a little bit as he looks up at the sky).

Tori: (Sits next to Hiki by a nearby tree looking up to the sky as well).

Yami: (Lays on the grass looking like he is deep in thought as Shizen sits by him and Kairi practices making small barriers in her hands).

Tori: (Falls asleep as he usually does as they try to go back to their normal routine).

Hiki: (Walks over to Kairi and works on how to use magic with her).

Kairi: (Doesn't seem to focused looking at Yami and Tori from time to time or just thinking to herself).

Hiki: Are you alright Kairi?

Kairi: Huh oh yes I am just thinking about what just happened... I could have lost one of them.... (Looks upset as she looks from Tori to Yami).

Hiki: Because you love Tori and care for Yami.

Kairi: I know... I'm glad that didn't happen.

Hiki: I am too.

Kairi: (Tries to brighten the mood with a change of topic). Well this afternoon will be better. There's going to be a dance.

Hiki: Is there now, for what?

Kairi: I guess when I am 16 suitors are able to court me but I guess there's a ball earlier for suitors to see if they want to court me then or something like that. (Mostly looks at Tori when she speaks).

Hiki: Hmm do you want me to get Tori involved?

Kairi: Hmm, oh how would that work? Won't people notice that he is not a noble?

Hiki: He could be your butler for the ball.

Kairi: (Thinks and then smiles at the thought). I kind of like how sis has Chazz as a butler but she is bad at saying her feelings

Hiki: Well you are too a bit Miss Kairi and yes he would watch over you in masters place.

Kairi: It is just like sis and Chazz but I'm a little too young now to say my feelings so I'm alright with where we are now. Maybe when I have my birthday. The only difference is Chazz has two girls who love him.

Hiki: That is true but it doesn't mean feelings are easy with just one.

Kairi: I know but for now I like where things are. Besides today at that ball it's not like I have to choose who I like. It is introducing me since I am not as little anymore so there is no rush.

Hiki: As you wish milady.

Kairi: Should we head in now before everyone wakes up?

Kura: If you wish to.

Hiki: Yes we probably should.

Kairi: Tori, Yami, Shizen come on its time to head in.

Yami: (Has his eyes shut as Shizen sits near him with her eyes closed as well but opens them once Kairi speaks up).

Shizen: Very well but Yami seems to be asleep.

Hiki: Tori is asleep as well.

Kura: I will wake Yami. (Goes over to Yami and pokes his face like Hiki had done to him earlier).

Yami: (Opens his eyes looking annoyed). What?

Kura: It is time to leave.

Yami: (Sighs grumpily as he stands). Fine whatever.

Kairi: Ooh I'm waking Tori up then. (Runs to where Tori sleeps and tackles him in a hug).

Tori: (Falls down hard as he tries to wonder what is going on and then sees Kairi laying on him). Oh good morning lady Kairi.

Kairi: (Looks up at Tori with a cute face and a slight blush). Good morning, it is time to go back inside.

Tori: Oh do I have to get up you are so comfortable though.

Kairi: (Blushes a little bit). You are comfortable to lie on to but we do have to go inside, I am sorry.

Tori: (Sighs). Well alright.

Kairi: I am sorry but you can sleep when we get inside but I have to get ready for a ball so I can't. I am sorry. (Gets up with Tori).

Tori: (Gets up and stretches his arms out smiling down at Kairi). Alright.

Kairi: (Blushes as she looks away, trying to hide it). ... could you be my butler for the ball and watch over me... Chazz already is watching sis and she is not feeling well so it would give him less to worry about....

Tori: Well I was already planning to since master asked me too but of course lady Kairi if you are fine with me.

Kairi: (Smiles brightly up at Tori). Of course, I would not have asked if I was not alright with it.

Tori: (Smiles). Well then I am happy to accompany you unless Yami wants to.

Yami: (Shrugs). Just tell me who I need to fight and I will fight them.

Kura: ... Please do not pick a fight with someone at the ball.

Tori: No you are not fighting. You would be escorting Miss Kairi to the dance.

Yami: ... Sounds boring.

Kura: Then don't do it.

Yami: Fine, not it.

Tori: Well then I guess I will be going with you.

Kairi: Thank you! (Bows and smiles then grabs Tori's hand pulling him with her to go to the mansion). Now come on we have to go inside.

Tori: (Is surprised but follows Kairi). You don't need to be so forceful Kairi.

Kairi: I am excited for the dance usually. There are so many pretty clothes and dresses that people wear and I think I got some for the group when shopping but I will just hand everyone all of their boxes so they can pick.

Hiki: I think only you and Tori are going.

Kairi: Aww what about you... Is it because of your shoulder?

Yami: (Looks at Hiki showing a little bit of concern).

Hiki: I am just going to go rest in master's room. No need to worry.

Kura: If you need me to do any more healing let me know Miss Hiki.

Kairi: And we should tell sis and Chazz how training went too. They will probably ask.

Hiki: Alright Kura I will and yes we probably should.

Yami: ... He better not yell at me again.... (Remember when he had drank the medicine and shakes a little bit).

Kairi: I am sure it will not be too bad right?

Hiki: I will make sure he does not.

Yami: (Sighs with relief). Good don't feel like dying that way.

Kairi: (Stares at Yami).

Yami: (Notices the stare). What?

Kairi: Could you make your eyes go black and red again?

Yami: Why?

Kairi: Because they look cool.

Yami: (Sighs feeling a little frustrated but does what she says). Fine but I'm not going back to looking like a little kid but why do you keep asking me to?

Kairi: I am fine with that and like I said they just look cool but please you look better being your own age. I like you to be you.

Yami: ... Fine....

Tori: (Laughs and so does Hiki). Well she knows what she likes.

Hiki: (Stares at Tori). You have no idea.

Kairi: (Giggles as she reaches Jennifer's door and opens it for everyone). Hi sis are you feeling better!

Chazz: She is sleeping right now, Miss Kairi please take your voice down a bit.

Kairi: Sorry. (She whispers and walks over and looks at Jennifer). Is sis alright?

Shizen: (Sits by the end of the bed, the same spot she had left from as Kura and Yami stand behind Kairi Yami's eyes still black and red forgetting to turn them back when he came in).

Chazz: So how was. (Looks at Yami's eyes). ... Training.

Yami: Umm... Good. (Smiles with a nervous laugh).

Kura: (Sighs and whispers to Yami). You are a terrible liar.

Chazz: Umm.

Hiki: (Steps in front of Chazz forgetting about her shoulder). It went fine.

Chazz: (Pauses as he looks at Hiki's shoulder).

Kura: (Covers Hiki's shoulder). Yes nothing sir Chazz.

Yami: (Starts to back away slowly). I-I... Please don't kill me.

Kura: ... Not helping.

Tori: Gosh stupid.

Chazz: (Looks down as he pulls out his sword out of the sheath).

Hiki: Master, master its fine. Just some misfortune in our training.

Yami: I-I'm not good at this stuff... Please don't kill me... I didn't do it?

Kura: Yami you forgot about your eyes.

Yami: (Looks in the mirror). Shit.... (nervously laughs more). Umm... I didn't do it?

Chazz: (Stands up and disappears and reappears behind Yami). Ohh if you didn't then why are your eyes different, hmm Yami?

Tori: Master I can expla-.

Chazz: Tori I want Yami to explain if he would kindly.

Hiki: Master I am fine please.

Chazz: (Pauses to look at Hiki again).

Hiki: I will give you a kiss?

Chazz: Fine but I still want an explanation.

Yami: Well you see umm... I may or may not of got in a fit of rage and tried to kill Hiki... and Tori and I may or may not of almost fought to the death and I might be the son of the guy who killed Tori's teacher... In theory not saying I am... Please don't kill me.

Kura: (Face palms and Hiki and Tori do the same.

Chazz: ... You are really bad at defending yourself.

Yami: ... Your mad aren't you; umm oh and yeah I get my eyes from my dad... I just hid them this whole time... Yeah I guess that's it... No big deal?

Kura: next time Yami does not come with when we need to explain something.

Yami: (Backs away slowly from Chazz).

Chazz: (Looks at Hiki and Tori). Are you two sure everything is alright now?

Hiki: Yes master it is fine but thank you for worrying about me. (Blushes slightly).

Tori: Yes it's all good now though I think I got mad for you.

Yami: Yeah... I don't blame you for doing so either... I totally would have won the fight though if I tried.

Hiki: Oh would you now?

Yami: You want me to prove it?

Kura: Perhaps another time. There has been enough of that.

Yami: Fine.... (Looks at Chazz). So you are not going to kill me?

Chazz: ... No I won't because of two reasons. One it would make Miss Kairi upset and two being that I have a feeling it would make madam Jennifer upset as well.

Kairi: Everyone is safe so there's no need to worry.

Yami: Yeah that. (Makes his eyes go back to white and red again).

Kairi: No make them look the other way.

Yami: Oh come on do I have to?

Kairi: They look cooler.

Chazz: Miss Kairi I would recommend he does not.

Kairi: (Pouts). Aww why not?

Chazz: He would draw too much attention to himself if he walks around like that.

Kairi: But what if only the people here are around. It is no problem right.

Chazz: It would also be better for me if he did not.

Kairi: You don't like them?

Yami: I don't even like them.

Kairi: But that is what you were born with.

Yami: Doesn't mean I have to like them.

Chazz: He has a point lady Kairi.

Hiki: (Sits down on the bed next to Jennifer).

Tori: True the eyes are cool but it's up to him really.

Yami: (Walks over to Kairi and looks at her). There has to be more to it than just that their cool.

Kairi: Well it is part of who you are. It does not matter how you look, you are still the same person.

Yami: I got them from a guy who killed so many and I was hunted because people could tell they were his eyes. How am I supposed to accept that?

Kairi: But they are not your dad's eyes. They are your eyes. Yes they gave you a hard time but you cannot help how you look but I will not give you a hard time I promise. It is just how you look so I accept it and make it your own. (Hugs Yami who look shocked).

Hiki: Aww. (Joins the hug and so does Kura).

Chazz: Miss Kairi also makes a point. Just because the people we looked up to made a bad decision should not mean that we allow those decisions decide who we are as a person.

Yami: (Becomes teary eyed and closes his eyes, mumbling thanks).

Kairi: See we all care about you and hugs are not that bad.

Hiki: Hugs make us feel closer to the people we care about.

Yami: I guess.... (Hesitantly hugs them back as Kairi smiles brightly at him).

Hiki: SSee they are fine.

Yami: I avoided them so that I wouldn't get attached but maybe just this once it is ok....

Kairi: Nope you are getting more hugs then just this one.

Hiki: (Laughs).

Yami: (Sighs). Fine I don't think I have a choice.

Kairi: No you do not.

Yami: Fine. (Lets go of the hug opening his eyes which are red and black again).

Kairi: Yay!

Yami: ... Well it seems to make you happy so I guess I have to.

Kairi: No you have a choice plus the clothes I got you will match even better.

Yami: (Sighs again). This is crazy.

Hiki: Well this is going to be your daily life.

Yami: ... Why do I feel scared because of that.

Jennifer: (Wakes up and sits up stiffly as she rubs her eyes). Hi, what's everyone doing in my room...? Oh how was training?

Hiki: (Stands behind Chazz just enough to hide her shoulder). It went fine, Tori and Yami bonded.

Jennifer: Alright.... (Looks at Tori then Yami pausing as she looks at Yami's eyes).

Yami: (Stares back at Jennifer wondering why she is staring).

Chazz: What is it milady?

Hiki: (Signals Yami to change his eyes).

Jennifer: ... Cool eyes.

Yami: (Pauses as he processes his comment then looking in the mirror).

Chazz: Well alright then... How was your rest?

Yami: ... Is she crazy too?

Jennifer: ... um it was peaceful... Why do I have the feeling I missed quite a morning?

Tori: Well you kinda did. We will explain later.

Jennifer: Sounds good, I suppose it is time to get ready for the ball then? (Stiffly gets out of bed).

Kura: Miss Jennifer and I am glad to see that your arm is back.

Jennifer: Yes thank you though I cannot really move it yet.

Kairi: (Looks confused by the comment).

Chazz: Are you sure that you want to go madam? You can stay in. You do not need to go.

Jennifer: No it is alright. I should be at the dance. It may not be for me but I should at least see if there is any news from other nobles or any changes with trading supplies.

Chazz: As you wish milady.

Jennifer: Besides I have you to watch over me so if I look like I am about to sleep where I stand you can tell me to turn in for the day. Though I will not listen and stay most likely.

Chazz: (Sighs). Why must I deal with you milady, so stubborn but alright I could just carry you away.

Jennifer: (Blushes). fFine but expect me to complain.

Kairi: (Looks at both Jennifer and Chazz and imagines them being together once again and smiles saying daw lightly).

Chazz: I know you will.

Jennifer: (Smiles and then notices Hiki's shoulder). Hiki are you alright?

Hiki: Yes I feel fine.

Jennifer: Very well.... (Still shows concern but decides to ask later).

Kairi: So what do we need to do to get the dance ready?

Jennifer: Let's see... I think the servants are handling getting the guest rooms ready oh we need to get our gowns and things ready. Kairi I would go get ready now, and if you need to clean up from training take a bath oh and do you need help with your hair.

Kairi: ... I think you are worrying too much.

Chazz: I think so as well. Hiki handle Miss Jennifer, I will go help the servants and Kura could you take care of Miss Kairi?

Kura: (Nods with a small bow). Miss Hiki do you want me to heal you some more before I leave?

Hiki: If you would please. (Exposes her wound).

Jennifer: (Looks at Hiki with worry as Yami looks away feeling badly and Kura's hands glow as she places her hand on the wound). Are you sure that you are alright?

Hiki: I will be fine, it just stings a little.

Yami: (Continues to avoid looking at Hiki mumbling). ... Sorry.

Hiki: It's fine Yami, truly it is. It could have been worse.

Yami: Yeah well still.

Kura: It is not too bad though your shoulder will be stiff until tomorrow.

Jennifer: Looks like you get to join the club of injured arms.

Kairi: ... That does not sound like a good club to join.

Hiki: (Laughs). I guess I will. Do I get anything special out of it.

Tori: Maybe special attention from master.

Hiki: (Blushes a little bit). That does sounds pretty good.

Chazz: (Sighs).

Jennifer: It really does.

Kura: Alright I am done healing. Do you need anything else?

Hiki: No I should be fine now, thank you Kura.

Kura: It is no problem.

Kairi: Alright bye sis, see you later. (Leaves as Kura and Yami follow her Kura bowing to everyone before they leave).

Jennifer: Goodbye for now.

Chazz: (Leaves as well as Tori follows him).

Tori: See you everyone.

Chazz: Hiki I wish you luck.

Jennifer: (Gives a confused look). Why are you wishing Hiki luck?

Hiki: I am not sure either Jenny.

Jennifer: (Shrugs). Alright then, do you need something to wear or will you be serving at the dance?

Hiki: I won't be there; I will be resting in master's room.

Jennifer: Alright but how did you get wounded?

Hiki: When Yami and I were sparring I just was injured from it.

Jennifer: I see, well as long as you are fine. If you need to borrow a nightgown I can give you one... You know what I wouldn't be surprised if Kairi had gotten you one.

Hiki: Well she did get me a wedding dress so I wouldn't be surprised.

Jennifer: I hope I did not get one as well, it seems a little embarrassing. I mean that black silver and gold suit Chazz had gotten was pretty close to what a noble groom would wear so I wouldn't be surmised if everyone got one. I mean she said she got everything.

Hiki: (Looks down with a slight blush). Could... I actually... Marry master?

Jennifer: (Blushes deeply). I-I suppose if he would notice your feelings... He's not very good at that.

Hiki: (Laughs and looks up). He really isn't but that's what I love about him. It would be too easy if he could notice.

Jennifer: ... But it is nice to think about.

Hiki: Just a bit.

Jennifer: If you need to rest now you can use bed. I am just going to pick out a dress. I will not need help. (Heads into her closet).

Hiki: Are you sure you are not just saying that so that I won't see you naked?

Jennifer: (Blushes even more but flusteredly). N-no.

Hiki: (Stares closely at Jennifer). Are you sure?

Jennifer: (Backs up a little). ... Yes.

Hiki: (Gets closer to Jennifer).

Jennifer: (Becomes a little uncomfortable). What?

Hiki: I wonder if you would be comfortable enough to be seen bare... I wonder how it would look... It will be my goal to see.

Jennifer: ... Please do not wonder or get any ideas.... (Backs up more).

Hiki: (Looks up and down Jennifer's body). As you say.

Jennifer: You grabbed my chest, isn't that enough? (Blushes and then goes into her closet looking through her dresses).

Hiki: Maybe it should be.

Jennifer: Thank you. (Pulls out a gown that the straps go around the neck with long gloves and different shades of green). Well I do not think I can have normal sleeves so I guess this gown if you could help tie the back.

Hiki: Of course Jenny. (Gets up and starts walking over to Jennifer).

Jennifer: But I can get the rest. I will just go behind that changing curtain until I need your help.

Hiki: Are you sure, I can help you get dressed.

Jennifer: No I can manage. (Ducks under the curtain). Why not tell me what happened at training while I change.

Hiki: Well Tori had found Yami's teacher had killed his teacher.

Jennifer: (Pokes my head out of the curtain looking shocked). ... I-I would on thought Tori would of killed Yami then.

Hiki: (Flops backwards a bit onto the bed). Oh you don't know the half of it. Yami almost died after Tori punched and kicked Yami through a tree.

Jennifer: ... I see and how is he still standing then?

Hiki: (Shrugs). I'm not sure, maybe Tori was holding back a little.

Jennifer: I suppose I shouldn't be upset at Yami I mean he is still standing after Chazz and Tori talked to him... And what about his eyes?

Hiki: Apparently those eyes are what he was born with, I'm not sure.

Jennifer: Oh I see. (Comes out of the curtain with her corset and dress held up on her by her good arm). Could you help me if you would please?

Hiki: Yes I didn't fully follow but it was something like that and alright Jenny. (Gets up to help Jennifer).

Jennifer: Thank you. (Turns around moving her hair away then quickly holding her top before it falls).

Hiki: (Pulls on Jennifer's top a little as she helps).

Jennifer: Careful, the top might get loose it's a little complicated of a dress. Kind of like tying a giant shoe in the back with the corset.

Hiki: As you say milady. Are you trying to impress master hmm, with this seductive body of yours.

Jennifer: (Blushes once again). N-not at all, I didn't mean that... But I wonder if he will like the dress... Though the cast on my arm does not really fit with it.

Hiki: He probably will but will not say it out loud since butler things.

Jennifer: (Pouts a little). I suppose, well thank you for helping.

Hiki: Yes it's very unfortunate.

Jennifer: Unfortunate, what do you mean? Chazz was trained to be proper and I do not mind... I still love him... I just wish he would let loose a little more. I cannot do so when near other nobles but when I am not I try to relax and be myself more.

Hiki: He wants to be but at the same time he wants to be the best butler he can be. However you should know when he is done for the day he talks about you sometimes but in a good way.

Jennifer: (Blushes more). ... Oh I see... I don't mind really he can talk however he wants to... What does he say about me?

Hiki: Like things you have done that day and the dorky dance you did while cooking and stuff like that.

Jennifer: (Blushes heavily now). Oh umm. (She hides her face a little bit).

Hiki: Are you alright Miss Jennifer?

Jennifer: (Continues to blush and hide her face). H-he talks about me....

Hiki: Pretty much....

Jennifer: (Tries to calm down). T-thank you for telling me.

Hiki: No need to worry but I recommend you don't tell him that I told you.

Jennifer: I think so as well... Well I guess I should get my hair done. I think I can manage it on my own though. (Heads into her bathroom grabbing her brush as she looks through the big mirror in the wall, the bathroom having a bath the size of a small pool and 2 sinks with the counter being made of marble).

Hiki: Whoa I never actually been in your bathroom, it's so big.

Jennifer: Oh really, well this is it. Nobles usually have a lot of extravagant things though I think it is not really needed but I am glad you like it.

Hiki: I may bathe with you next time.

Jennifer: ... Please do not. You can use it but I am not comfortable with that idea of bathing together.

Hiki: Why not, we are both girls here. Nothing to be scared of.

Jennifer: I know but I have never been comfortable with people seeing me... It is embarrassing.

Hiki: why, you look so pretty.

Jennifer: (Continues to blushes). I do not know, it is just how I am though my sis it the opposite. I don't know where she gets that from but she has no problem with it.

Hiki: (Snicker a little bit). Maybe to Tori?

Jennifer: W-what are you saying?

Hiki: Would she be open to Tori?

Jennifer: (Give a protective expression). She better not... But then again she does not know the difference between boys and girls so maybe.... (Shakes the thought away and protective glares more)..

Hiki: True, true she doesn't know much besides the chest stuff.

Jennifer: She was told that men look different but she doesn't know how and I am hoping not to have that talk quite yet.

Shizen: (Appears sitting on the counter quite relaxed). If you wish that I explain it one day, I am fine with it.

Jennifer: Oh Shizen... Well I do not know how she will react to that talk. She still believes that babies come from a stork or something like that.

Hiki: Hmm how would that work out?

Jennifer: I honestly do not want to know.

Shizen: Well let me know. (Disappears once again).

Hiki: I think you kind of should let Shizen talk to her so that you don't have to explain it to her.

Jennifer: I know, I just am still trying to accept that she is growing up. (Looks down). I mean she still has 1 years until men can court her and she is already having her first ball to introduce her... Yes they still are not allowed to court her yet but I just worry about her so much.

Hiki: Well you are her big sister so there's not much you can help with that. True she is growing up but you should allow her to grow up and face new experiences. You are always there for her and she knows that but you have to let her have space of her own.

Jennifer: I know, I am trying to it is just.... (Becomes a little teary eyed). You are right and besides she is as stubborn as I am. I mean I have waited for the one I love to notice me and she will to and will not settle for less and I am fine with whoever that is, noble, commoner... And even spirit. (Pauses as she thinks of Tori with that last comment).

Hiki: True she is stubborn but that is what makes her a good person. She won't settle for less and you will be there to guide her when she needs it the most.

Jennifer: Yes and if a guy is to persistent she can slap them and will have to deal with me. That is what I did, I mean some nobles think because of their status they already can have anything they want and that just bothers me because it is not even the first night meeting them and they are arranging a wedding. (Looks annoyed but shakes it off). ... Sorry I tend to rant when something bothers me.

Hiki: Oh I know, master told me already but he and I are fine with taking care of them.

Jennifer: Still bothers me, especially if the person is to... Handsy but then Chazz always steps in. (Looks down and smiles). ... I know Tori will look after Kairi in the same way.

Hiki: If he doesn't master and I will punish him thoroughly. (She says with a smile).

Jennifer: (Gives a confused look). Why wouldn't he... And what do you mean by punishment?

Hiki: (Waves her hand up and down). Don't worry about it Jenny.

Jennifer: Umm I feel like I should ask.

Hiki: And I feel that you shouldn't.

Jennifer: And I feel confused so I will keep asking.

Hiki: Nope.

Jennifer: Fine but only because part of me feels I shouldn't know anyways.... (As she gets ready brushing curling her hair and doing her makeup).

Hiki: Pretty much.

Jennifer: Fine whatever you say. Well we still have some time, I mean the ball starts around dinner. We have time to just relax I guess and check on things.

Hiki: (Is already lying down). Well I may take a nap now.

Jennifer: That is a good idea. I have been feeling tired and weak since yesterday too. (Sits in a chair nearby).

Hiki: Careful, don't want to mess up your hair now.

Jennifer: I did not do too much to it and honestly I am too tired to care. You can sleep in my bed, I do not mind.

Hiki: (Already is trying to drift off to sleep being more tired then she had told).

Jennifer: Wow you fall asleep quickly. (Goes over to Hiki and tucks her in then thinks for a second). Well the bed can fit many people. I will just sleep on the other side. (Lies down on the other side of the bed and falls asleep just as quickly).
