Jennifer wakes up a bit, it being the next day after she had fainted\u00a0of the previous day seeming normal with paperwork and her other duties not remembering having ever been so tired the day before as if her energy had felt drained from her training with Chazz.\u00a0 Hiki being there in Jennifer’s room as she wakes up seeing her stare out the window in thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Hiki: good morning, Jenny.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Sits up rubbing her eyes).\u00a0 What happened yesterday again?<\/p>\n

Hiki: You fell.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Oh… Why?<\/p>\n

Hiki: I am not sure; it was something master said I believe.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Remembers slowly blushing a little).\u00a0 Oh right.<\/p>\n

Hiki: And master said you were cute after that you had fallen asleep.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Blushes a lot and hides under the covers).<\/p>\n

Hiki: What is wrong milady?\u00a0\u00a0You can tell me anything and I won’t say anything to master, I promise.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Can’t he make you tell him.\u00a0 You are a part of him… Are you not?<\/p>\n

Hiki: But a girl can keep her secrets, spirit\u00a0or not.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Alright well I keep turning suitors away because they are mostly arrogant noble men honestly.<\/p>\n

Hiki: But there must be someone you have interest in.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Maybe one…\u00a0But it is just wishful thinking.<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Leans towards Jennifer climbing onto her bed).\u00a0\u00a0hmm?<\/p>\n

\"\"Jennifer: It is nothing forget it….\u00a0 (Opens the window beside her\u00a0bed to let in the\u00a0squirrel from before).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Milady, don’t lie it’s bad.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Some things and feelings are better left alone.<\/p>\n

Hiki: If you wish….<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Looks at squirrel as if listening eyes widen opening the window).<\/p>\n

Hiki: what is it?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Shizen!\u00a0 (Glows a slight\u00a0green, closing eyes looking through other animals near the forest she trains at).<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Goes into her battle stance).\u00a0 Should I call master?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: There’s a man in the forest.\u00a0 (Closes eyes again looking through another animal’s eyes telling it where to go like it is her own movements).\u00a0 I am looking right at the man through another animal when I concentrate, he does not look like a hunter though I am unsure.<\/p>\n

Hiki: What is this power I sense in the distance?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Eyes burst open in shock nearly like being shot scrambling away falling off the bed suddenly an abnormally strong gust of wind comes through the window).\u00a0 I lost contact with the rabbit!\u00a0 I do not know there was no gun!\u00a0 (Tears form in her eyes).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Jenny I am getting master now!\u00a0 He probably noticed the power also.\u00a0 (Holds Jennifer comfortingly).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Gets up quickly).\u00a0 Go get Chazz now!\u00a0 (Yells fear in her voice but tries not to panic ready for anything).<\/p>\n

Hiki: It’s unfortunate for the bunny though….<\/p>\n

Jennifer: It hurt to….\u00a0 (Looks down in sorrow, regret forming going so close to see better).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Are you alright?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: When I go into an animal’s mind, I feel everything they feel, and it felt like my body had a intense fear for a split second… Then it was gone….\u00a0\u00a0(Holds her arms looking down and shivering a little).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Why risk your health then?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I am fine physically….\u00a0 It is the mental part that does not go away easily.\u00a0 You think what happened to them happened to you… And you feel what they feel.<\/p>\n

Hiki: I see then… I’m sorry to hear that….<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Looks down sadly).\u00a0 It will take a little to get it my mind back to normal… Because I also take the traits and instincts of that animal… Same for when I change animal’s body wise.<\/p>\n

Hiki: Ahh now I understand your killing instinct then when you turned into all those predator animals.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: As for the bunny I was using its main instinct which is to run from danger… And that is why I seemed so afraid when calling you I am better now… It slowly goes away….\u00a0 (Looks down still feeling sorrow for the bunny not feeling its presence in her mind anymore).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Well, if you ever are in danger, please do call me, I will be there\u00a0at light’s speed.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I am sorry to the creature I used to get a look at the person…. I feel I could have prevented it; it is bad to blame myself I know but I just….\u00a0 (Drops her head looking upset as tears start to fall).<\/p>\n

Hiki: It is fine there is no need to blame yourself….\u00a0\u00a0You didn’t know you were in danger or the bunny either.\u00a0 If you want revenge for the bunny, I recommend we look into the cause of these strong winds and we will take down whoever gets in our way.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Looks up at window growling fangs forming in her mouth eyes starting to glow knowing Hiki is right and that sorrow turning into a protective instinct so that no others are harmed).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Entered through the door during the gust of wind feeling something was off).\u00a0 We will go together, no more lone wolf.<\/p>\n

Hiki: We are in this together!<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Have it your way.\u00a0 (Grabs her bow her determination leading her).<\/p>\n

Chazz: It is\u00a0that or I ground you milady and go out there myself.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: You’re not going alone, and wolves do not go alone.\u00a0\u00a0They have a pack they protect each other.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Or bite a lot in that matter.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Never mind let us go!\u00a0 (Jumps out of the window as her clothing appearance changes like before with a ranger like armor with a forest green and brown color with a green hooded cloak and face mask along with it.\u00a0 Her eyes glow green as she lands and heads to the forest).<\/p>\n

Chazz: There she goes again.\u00a0 Hiki would you please?\u00a0 (Follows Jennifer).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Of course!\u00a0 (Disappears into her sword for Chazz to carry).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Dashes towards the shadows to remain hidden once she reaches the forest).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Goes into his shadow form again to hide beside Jennifer).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: whoa… But that stones glowing kind of gives it away.\u00a0 I will try toning it down, but I never really could help it when my energy\u00a0increases.<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Covers it in shadow).\u00a0 I didn’t do that before.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Well plus it is a part of me in a way… I will\u00a0tell you afterwards.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Yes milady.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Holds a hand up to stop as she\u00a0senses\u00a0footsteps).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Sinks into a shadow of a tree nearby).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Looks for a hiding spot and crouches under same tree as Chazz.\u00a0 After a little bit she stands slowly leaning to look around without causing attention to them.\u00a0 Suddenly wind blows\u00a0fast in their direction, and she ducks back under the trees cover leaning ageists Chazz as she draws her bow).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Readies Hikitori as the wind cuts tree just above their\u00a0heads causing the tree to fall).<\/p>\n

???: Oh, that’s where you are.\u00a0 Did you come to enjoy the fury of the winds with me?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Hops on a tree stump getting a good look at the person.\u00a0 The man looks young but a bit older than her.\u00a0 His dark\u00a0short hair had a odd greying to it despite his age with a colorful feather\u00a0tied into his hair.\u00a0 He has dark eyes and a smile that makes her instincts go on edge).\u00a0 Who are you and what do you want?<\/p>\n

Gin: I am Gin, and I was looking for the people that killed my hunters or took care of them.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Oh, those were your hunters?\u00a0 (Bows regretfully).\u00a0 That was my apologies I never meant for them to have fatal wounds,\u00a0but they were after my pack and in my forest.<\/p>\n

Gin: Well, they died when they came back with nothing.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Glares standing up straight again).\u00a0 Come again?<\/p>\n

Gin: (Shrugs).\u00a0 Well, I sent them for feathers for my collection.\u00a0 an easy thing to do right?\u00a0\u00a0I don’t need hunters that can’t do something easy, so they died.\u00a0 Simple as that.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: This ground was not theirs or yours to hunt on.\u00a0 This is my nobles land and not yours.\u00a0 I ask you to leave.\u00a0 (Glares eyeing him suspiciously getting a bad feeling from how he answers something like that so matter of factly).<\/p>\n

Gin: Well, I also had to get rid of the people that messed up my collection.\u00a0 Also, every land is a hunting ground, it doesn’t matter of ownership.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Not this one.\u00a0 This is where animals can find safety, I cannot protect them when out of this territory.\u00a0 They know that so leave now.\u00a0 You are getting on my nerves.\u00a0 No one needed to die, not even the hunters!\u00a0 (The wind instantly slices at her fast as she dodges shooting her bow on instinct).<\/p>\n

Gin: Ohh you’ve got some spunk, now, don’t you?\u00a0\u00a0Let us see how long that spunk will last you little lady.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I will ask one more time stand down and leave before you anger me even more!\u00a0 (There is a low growl and a faint glow in her eyes).<\/p>\n

Gin: No can-do lady, I need feathers for something rather special.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I will get you feathers.\u00a0\u00a0If I do, then will you leave peacefully?<\/p>\n

Gin: Perhaps….<\/p>\n

Jennifer: That’s not a promise and you must stay there.\u00a0 No attacking, can I trust you on that?<\/p>\n

Gin: Fine, fine.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: What kind of feathers do you need?<\/p>\n

Gin: The rarest bird\u00a0here, I heard it was a vibrant blue and red.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Will you promise not to hurt it once I find it?<\/p>\n

Gin: I need the feathers only.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Very well….\u00a0 (Glances at Chazz in the shadows making sure he is hidden if things do not go well and sits down).<\/p>\n

Gin: (Sits on a stump just playing with his weapon which looks like a sword with a fan like blade).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Closes her eyes looking through the forest, a slight breeze in the air.\u00a0 After a few minutes a red and blue bird pops out of the trees landing on her shoulder as she stands up looking at the impatient Gin, nodding at the bird). Is this the rare bird?<\/p>\n

Gin: Oh yes, it is… And is that you?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (More birds just like it lands on her or next to her if they cannot find room).\u00a0 Very well.<\/p>\n

Gin: (Stands and takes out his sword).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Don’t do it!\u00a0 I promised you feathers not the whole bird.\u00a0 (Each of the 10 birds picking a feather out and placing it in her hand).<\/p>\n

Gin: I know, I am just ready for your friend over there.\u00a0 It’s been a while hasn’t it Chazz?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Looks down at Chazz in confusion).\u00a0 You know this man?<\/p>\n

Chazz: No, I don’t think so I would remember someone like this man.<\/p>\n

Gin: Oh, how could you forget me buddy?\u00a0 I thought we had something special.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Then how does he know your name?\u00a0 (Looks back and forth very confused).<\/p>\n

Chazz: I am not sure….<\/p>\n

Gin: Didn’t those guys ever tell you not to forget your friends!\u00a0 (Charges at Chazz).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (blocks being just as confused).\u00a0 How do you know me?<\/p>\n

Gin: Oh, wouldn’t you like to know.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Pulls bow back glaring at Gin making the birds fly away).\u00a0 Back away from him now!<\/p>\n

\"\"Gin: (Continues slashing at Chazz).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Shoots arrow after arrow, shocked that everyone misses).<\/p>\n

Gin: (Wind slashes at Jennifer and hits her arm).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (drops her bow as her arm is bleeding from the deep cut in it, gritting her teeth in pain).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (His swords turn black and white as his confusion turns to anger).\u00a0 You do not touch her!\u00a0 This is a fight between us!<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Reaches for the bow again using other arm that is unharmed to draw the bow trying not to shake from the hurt arm looking closely at her next shot eyes widening as the arrow curves around Gin).\u00a0 Chazz he is using the wind to turn your swings so that you miss slightly!<\/p>\n

Gin: Now she’s gone and said it!\u00a0 (Flies at Jennifer at killing speeds).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Dodges barley, eyeing movements as she is barely able to keep up).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Grabs Gin’s arm and throws\u00a0him with his anger growing).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Thank you, that was close….\u00a0 What do you think?<\/p>\n

Chazz: I say you go now.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I can handle this.\u00a0 Besides, we fight as a team, and I am not leaving you alone in this fight.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Well, I cannot handle him and worry about your safety.\u00a0 He needs my full attention, or we may both die.\u00a0 I am not asking for you to leave,\u00a0just to\u00a0keep a good distance and do not fight.\u00a0 I will feel better knowing you will be safe.\u00a0 Let me show you the steps I have been taking to protect you….\u00a0\u00a0Hikitori shatter the balance.\u00a0 (The sword starts glowing with both black and white\u00a0aura as the sword begins to glow more.\u00a0 The sword begins to separate and become their own swords opposite in color).<\/p>\n

Gin: Oh, there it is the sword that killed so many people and left far more hurting.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: No, I am staying and fighting with you.\u00a0 You cannot change my mind.\u00a0 If we work together on this then we will win.\u00a0 I am not leaving you alone in this fight!<\/p>\n

Gin: Well, I’m sorry to mess with your lover’s argument but you’re both going to die anyway.\u00a0 (He puts his hand on his sword and calls what seems to be first form of his energy).\u00a0 Yasuo let’s ride the wind!\u00a0 (His sword begins to extend into a longer yet wide katana, and it begins to show flowing air around it.\u00a0 He slashes once which cuts three trees down).<\/p>\n

Chazz: Well then this is going to be something now is not it.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Chazz should I call on my full energy.\u00a0 I have a bad feeling about this… I have never fought an element user besides you.<\/p>\n

Chazz: No not yet.\u00a0 Let us see where this goes, it’s never good to show off your full power to early.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Good idea… Now get ready!\u00a0 (Draws bow).<\/p>\n

Chazz: I already am.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I know, I know.\u00a0 (Aims her bow running to the other side of Gin so they can attempt corner him).<\/p>\n

Gin: (Slices once and cuts a tree near her).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Hops to another tree nearby).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Charges forward and Gin slices Chazz blocking the wind with Tori’s sword).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Shoots arrows as fast as she can to break the wind that’s turning each shot).<\/p>\n

Gin: You can’t break my wind missy unless you have an arrow as strong as a hurricane!\u00a0 But even than it would still pierce you!<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I do not like people telling me I cannot do something.\u00a0 (Narrows her eyes as she pulls the bowstring back to the tree making the arrow glow a little looking for where the wind weakens slightly and fires.\u00a0 She hits\u00a0Gin’s arm and Chazz strikes when he is startled as she\u00a0smirks).\u00a0 Do not think I’m just a powerless girl with a bodyguard, don’t underestimate me.<\/p>\n

Gin: So, he’s your bodyguard huh interesting.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Give a confused look).\u00a0 He may be or maybe not,\u00a0it is none of your business.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Milady you messed up now.<\/p>\n

Gin: (Bursts out in laughter).\u00a0 So, you have, Chazz… THE CHAZZ as your bodyguard.\u00a0 Wow the world must be ending!\u00a0 This couldn’t be funnier!<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Pulls her bow back again).\u00a0 I told you I did not need a bodyguard and he is not one.<\/p>\n

Gin: I can tell you are lying, then if he isn’t then he wouldn’t\u00a0care if I killed you then am I right?\u00a0 Then we will see if you need one or not.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Just try and besides, he is my butler.\u00a0 (Shoots arrow at weak points in the wind some breaking through but most notable to).<\/p>\n

Gin: (Creates an inner shell of wind that blocks all projectiles).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Grits teeth thinking then gets an idea aiming bow away).<\/p>\n

Gin: Hmm what are you doing now?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Shoots arrows into the wind current at different places leaping off the tree).<\/p>\n

Gin: Yasuo time to begin the hurricane!\u00a0 (The arrows move through the wind only to break into pieces).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Dam it.\u00a0 (Runs towards Chazz).<\/p>\n

Chazz: Yes milady?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Do you have a plan?\u00a0 My arrows cannot\u00a0pass through now.\u00a0 I need a distraction or some weak point like before.\u00a0 I tried getting my arrows to the current, but he is controlling the wind to smash them.\u00a0\u00a0It is like he can feel the air around him and its movements like I do with nature.<\/p>\n

Chazz: How about you distract him for me.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Alright give me a moment.\u00a0 (Dashes to the other side of Gin).\u00a0 Gin heads up!\u00a0 (Shoots arrows up thinking of how the wind current is turning).<\/p>\n

Gin: Nice try lady.\u00a0 (The wind shell around moves in whatever direction the sword is facing).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Rushes up a tree and jump over the wind funnel shooting arrows down at Gin as she goes over).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Both his swords turn black as he charges Gin).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Circles again firing a glowing green arrow but only breaking one of the barriers of\u00a0wind).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Backs off for a second).<\/p>\n

Gin: (Coughs from injury, one of Chazz’s slashes connecting).\u00a0 There’s the Chazz I know,\u00a0merciless aren’t you.\u00a0\u00a0I’m surprised that lady over there hasn’t died yet.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Whatever do you mean Gin?<\/p>\n

Gin: I guess, I should not expect you to remember the title of yin yang swordsman either.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Looks at Chazz).\u00a0 Chazz what is he talking about?<\/p>\n

Gin: You were always into that balance of the soul shit because your own soul is unstable.\u00a0 I always did like it when you always were unsure of what to do but yet you still fought!<\/p>\n

Chazz: Enough you will be defeated here….\u00a0 (Looks angry as he holds up the black sword to Gin).\u00a0 Tori!\u00a0 (His swords join sides to create a big, long sword).<\/p>\n

Tori: Yes sir.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Stops looking in the direction of the mansion, something bothering her).<\/p>\n

Gin: Oh, little lady, if you’re worried about something I would.\u00a0 I sent a tornado to hit the mansion and kill everyone in it.\u00a0\u00a0The only way to stop it is to make me call it off or kill me… Either works.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Her eyes widen in terror thinking of her sister then closes her eyes looking for the stone she holds).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Looks down with his face hidden in the shadows).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Notice she is not there sighing in relief).\u00a0 She is not there….<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Notices a tornado form nearby).\u00a0 What about everyone else though?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I do not know….\u00a0 I’ll try stop it; you hold him off!\u00a0\u00a0(Rushes to her mansion as she realizes something).\u00a0 But wait, where is she?<\/p>\n

Chazz: Gladly milady.\u00a0 (Looks up as body becomes a shadow).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Closes her eyes looking for Kairi, her\u00a0eyes widening as she remembers the archery lesson and where they would meet which is not far from where Chazz is fighting.\u00a0 Turning back seeing Kairi and sends her away from there trying to act like there is nothing wrong so she does not panic.\u00a0\u00a0Kairi walks away disappointed about not having a lesson but then starts running away very upset.\u00a0 Jennifer then hears an explosion of both light and dark when Kairi leaves to safety near her and wind clash behind her hearing Chazz shout).<\/p>\n

Chazz: HikiTori soul shatter!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in the fight against Gin.<\/p>\n

Gin: Now that the lady is gone now why not tell me why you have become a butler.\u00a0\u00a0You are better than this.<\/p>\n

Chazz: I do not know how you know or how you must come to know my powers, but I will not stand by while you threaten the people that have saved my life.<\/p>\n

Gin: That’s the thing though.\u00a0 You were fine when I met you.\u00a0 Sure, you were living on the streets, but things were fine.\u00a0 you had your sword and weird colored eyes… Which matches your swords there.<\/p>\n

Chazz: What do you mean my weird colored eyes.\u00a0\u00a0I remember them being normal colors not black and white and I do remember having a short sword for emergencies only.<\/p>\n

Gin: Everything except the eyes is correct.\u00a0\u00a0You were fine, when I met you, we were street rats together and we played in the darkness of the streets.\u00a0 We had done many things together.\u00a0 (Sits on a rock). \u00a0But then one day your sword became black and white, and you had this kind of darkness around you.\u00a0 Next thing I knew you had killed someone who had tried to mug you.\u00a0\u00a0It happened over and over again.\u00a0 No one found out it was you.<\/p>\n

Chazz: I do not recall anything like that or ever playing in this darkness that you are talking about now.<\/p>\n

Gin: I’m not shocked it was that light part that kept making you hesitate to do anything fun.\u00a0 You always had to be the good guy, even when you did some bad things.<\/p>\n

Chazz: (He begins to think about everything Gin is saying and while he begins to think his head begins to hurt more and more until he cannot think straight).\u00a0 What… What… Are you saying?<\/p>\n

Gin: I am saying you the legendary Yin Yang swordsmen who is a legend throughout history.\u00a0 This title is known for the greatest swordsman ever, yet you are reduced to a fucking butler!\u00a0 How pathetic are you!<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Chazz swings fast at Gin but he dodges quickly).\u00a0 No, be quiet!<\/p>\n

Gin: Better kill me fast before all those people die Chazz!\u00a0 (Laughs madly as the wind howls).\u00a0 Face the wind!<\/p>\n

Chazz: Fine I will end you here!\u00a0 (He and Gin strike at each other repeatedly with no sense of ending).<\/p>\n

Gin: Yes, show me the terror that you have given all of the victims that have fallen to your sword!<\/p>\n

Chazz:\u00a0Hikitori soul shatter!!\u00a0 (Hikitori as his sword shatters into fragments).<\/p>\n

Gin: What is that you broke your sword!\u00a0 (Laugh madly again as he charges in and slashes Chazz as he takes the sword strikes yet the sword won’t\u00a0pierce his skin).\u00a0 What is going…\u00a0Why won’t you die!\u00a0 (Next thing he knows he is surrounded by little sword fragments connected to dark and light tethers that all connect\u00a0to Chazz’s soul).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Looks straight into Gin’s eyes).\u00a0 I may not remember you as my friend, but you have threatened all of the people that mean so much to me now so I am sorry Gin but you are done here.<\/p>\n

\"\"Gin: (Looks down knowing he is beaten but smiles still).\u00a0 Well thank you…\u00a0It is nice to fall to the sword of the yin yang….\u00a0 (As he\u00a0says this the fragments begin to pierce him and kill him slowly.\u00a0 The fragments strike him but surround him with a dark and light aura and then Gin falls to the ground lifeless and his body disappears into darkness).<\/p>\n

Chazz: Face the soul’s judgment….<\/p>\n

Hiki: (She says this with a worried tone as she appears beside Chazz with Tori on his other side).\u00a0 Are you alright master?<\/p>\n

Chazz: I… Will be… Fine Hiki.<\/p>\n

Tori: Let’s head back, the tornado should be leaving now.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back to where Jennifer is trying to protect the mansion.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Dodges both explosions wondering what is happening when all the sudden the tornado disappears looking at where it was in shock).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Walks back to the mansion with cuts and other injuries and collapses by a tree far away from Jennifer with Hikitori falling to the ground from his hand having went back into his mind as he sleeps).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Closes her eyes to find Chazz’s stone, finding it but on the ground dropped during the battle scooping it up.\u00a0 She then resorts\u00a0to animals in the area finding him quickly and rushes to his side seeing he is knocked out with his sword by his side in its two swords form.\u00a0 She tends\u00a0to his wounds as best she can, able to stop the bleeding.\u00a0 She then holds\u00a0his head on her lap humming to herself knowing she cannot carry him right now as she stares at his sleeping face smiling as HikiTori’s sword\u00a0is returning to its normal black and white single sword.\u00a0 She starts blushing at thoughts as she holds Chazz as he sleeps peacefully.\u00a0 She then looks around to see if anyone is around debating on a thought seeing that no one is around bringing her face close to his hesitantly.\u00a0 She blushes summoning up all her courage putting her lips to his and then ends the kiss and smiles to herself).\u00a0 I am glad I got that off my chest….<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Comes out of nowhere staring at Jennifer very close to her face with some scratches and injuries but other than that unharmed).<\/p>\n

\"\"Jennifer: (Falls backwards).\u00a0 Gah!<\/p>\n

Hiki: Miss Jenny what were you doing with master?<\/p>\n

Tori: (appears as well and sits by a tree but covered in similar injuries as Hiki).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: N-nothing! (Blushes even more as she becomes flustered).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Don’t lie Jenny.<\/p>\n

Tori: That fight was something.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I-I just was healing him, that was all!\u00a0 Nothing happened!<\/p>\n

Hiki: Then why is he here on your lap.\u00a0 If he needed healing, you just could have called me out.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Frantically tries to come up with an excuse).\u00a0 I do not know how to do that!<\/p>\n

Hiki: Just touch the sword and call out Hiki or Tori.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Then why are you here now!<\/p>\n

Hiki: Master had\u00a0told us to allow you to call us out if he cannot do it himself.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: But I did not!\u00a0 I stopped the bleeding and bandaged him up so he should be fine….<\/p>\n

Hiki: Well, we need to become physical form to lessen the pressure on master’s body.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Oh umm…\u00a0I will let you take care of him then.\u00a0 (Hesitantly gets Chazz’s head on her lap off her).<\/p>\n

Tori: Whenever he uses us, he uses part of his own soul.\u00a0 To use the things, he does in truth he is the longest person willing to deal with us and the toll we take.\u00a0 Remember when he said his power depends on emotions?\u00a0 Well, he was sort of right the power depends on who he relies on more and wants to embrace their power.\u00a0 Hiki and I are complete opposites in power as you know but we still care for him the same you can see.\u00a0 He has saved us like how we have helped him out all these years.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I see….\u00a0 (Looks down at Chazz smiling).\u00a0 So, you save each other… That is kind of sweet ….<\/p>\n

Hiki: We love our master because of this.<\/p>\n

Tori: Oh, I never said that.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Laughs at Hiki and Tori).\u00a0 You really are opposites in personality and my apologies Tori when I first heard of you I kind of feared you.<\/p>\n

Tori: Most do so it’s no problem.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Now I understand, my apologies you seem like a cool guy now that I have talked to you.<\/p>\n

Tori: Thank you for the chance.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Why would not I and umm …\u00a0And if I may ask… How long have you two been able to watch what was happening? (A slight blush forms once again).<\/p>\n

Tori: Since he has been asleep.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: oh… I see….\u00a0 (Alarm starts setting in her mind).\u00a0 Ahh so you saw umm….\u00a0 (Pause blushing as she looks\u00a0away).<\/p>\n

Tori: The kiss?\u00a0\u00a0Yes, we did.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (The flustered blushing returns as she tries to think of an excuse).\u00a0 Oh umm no… That was umm… Healing magic…?<\/p>\n

Hiki: No\u00a0fair!\u00a0 I want to kiss him too.\u00a0 (pouts).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Umm I would not suggest that umm… Please do not?\u00a0 (Blushes looking to Tori to see if he buys it).<\/p>\n

Tori: You know we don’t believe it, but she does like him too so it’s alright in a weird Hiki way.<\/p>\n

Hiki: Hey who are you calling weird Tori!\u00a0 (Makes a bigger pouty face).<\/p>\n

Tori: You, you idiot.<\/p>\n

Hiki: Tori so mean!<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Laughs at the bickering).\u00a0 Could you guys not tell him about that though… I will owe you big time.<\/p>\n

Hiki and Tori: hmm only if you tell him how you feel.<\/p>\n

Tori: We don’t know his feelings on love since we never experienced it so we can’t tell you how he feels besides what you have seen.<\/p>\n

Hiki: Well, I’m still going to kiss him anyways.\u00a0 (Bends down and kisses Chazz suddenly).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Becomes frantic and flustered again as she sees Hiki kiss Chazz as well).\u00a0 Wait do not do it!\u00a0 It is not healing; I like him alright just let’s not kiss him again and are you kidding I can’t tell him!<\/p>\n

Hiki: Finally, you admit it gosh…\u00a0I do love master enough to want to be his girlfriend but I’m just a spirit\u00a0I can’t be….\u00a0 (Looks down with a saddened expression).<\/p>\n

Tori: As much as Hiki seems like a bright giggly ball of bubbly energy\u00a0she is still a girl with feelings.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Oh… I am sorry, I did not know… I should have thought of the possibility that there were others who thought of him like that….<\/p>\n

Hiki: He isn’t taken though… I just admired and care for him a lot as my master and a person.\u00a0 I also respect him enough to let him be happy with someone else… If master is happy, I am happy too.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I see and what about you and Tori… is there anything between you and Hiki?<\/p>\n

Hiki: We are the just different halves of a balance.\u00a0 I think we consider each other more like a brother and sister.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Oh, my apologies that was improper of me to ask.<\/p>\n

Hiki: It’s alright Jenny but the thought is interesting.\u00a0 (Acts like she is considering the idea looking at Tori).<\/p>\n

Tori: (Hits Hiki over\u00a0the head making Hiki pout and stick her tongue out at him).\u00a0 What are you thinking idiot?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Oh, I’m speaking to each of you alone to get answers on that.\u00a0 (Laughs at her joke and watching their bickering).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Shh don’t wake master up.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Oh… My apologies.<\/p>\n

Hiki: Well, we need to head back.\u00a0 It is getting late.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Right, could you help me carry him?<\/p>\n

Hiki: (A wind slash comes their way Hiki blocking it with a sword made of light making a barrier).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: That guy’s back!\u00a0 I thought you took care of him!<\/p>\n

Hiki: He\u00a0shouldn’t be!\u00a0 It must be Yasuo acting on his own!<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Whatever it is we need to protect Chazz!\u00a0 (Carries Chazz with Tori).\u00a0 Tori watch my back if we are aimed at please?\u00a0 Hiki thank you for blocking and sorry if I get bossy!<\/p>\n

Tori: It is alright.\u00a0 (Moves Chazz away more).<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Readies herself as another gust of wind blows making a light wall around them).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: No surround light around Chazz, he needs it more!<\/p>\n

Hiki: it’s around both of you.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Has a stubborn expression as she tries to help).\u00a0 Focus all the power on him he is the one unconscious.<\/p>\n

Hiki: Milady, be quiet.\u00a0 (Focuses on the barrier seeming to know well on what to as well as Tori).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Rude, now duck!\u00a0 (Hands Chazz over to Tori pulling back her bow as the wind goes berserk from Yasuo losing Gin).<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Ducks under the attack smoothly).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Fires an arrow at a figure only for it to vanish into thin air).<\/p>\n

Hiki: We need to focus on Chazz.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I know we need to get him to safety!\u00a0 It is a little difficult with the wind wanting to kill us.<\/p>\n

Hiki: I’ll use my light speed.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Alright if you can go light speed, you should have done that sooner!\u00a0 (There’s a slight panic in her voice though she tries to hide it).<\/p>\n

Hiki: I can always do that.\u00a0 You surely should have seen it from master.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Well, I am sorry for the forgetfulness on my part, but it is hard to keep track!<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Touches Jennifer’s hand and then she begins to glow of a white light).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: So, I can run as fast without my full power?\u00a0\u00a0Later we are trying that for fun.\u00a0 (Smirks lifting Chazz again using the strength of an animal for now feeling a calmness with the light as well as it surrounds her).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Well in a way but not fully since I shared it.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Still, that is pretty cool.\u00a0 (Begins to run carrying Chazz with Tori).<\/p>\n

Hiki: True enough.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: After we get Chazz to safety what should we do as a plan of attack.\u00a0 We cannot just leave him out here causing damage.<\/p>\n

Hiki: The spirit will calm down and go to its own world.<\/p>\n

Tori: (Throws a shadow blast at it and it causes the winds to subside\u00a0for now).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I hope so.\u00a0 Thanks Tori, it buys us time to get away.<\/p>\n

Tori: Yes, that is the goal.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I see that we are almost there.\u00a0 We can get to my room by the window I do not want to cause suspicion going into the doors.\u00a0 (Looks up at the window which is about 10 or more feet above their heads).<\/p>\n

Tori: We can make it fine.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I can make it up there with him if I change to an animal’s form.<\/p>\n

Hiki: We need to get you in while we take master to his room.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: We can go through my room easier.\u00a0 He can move to his room when he is able.<\/p>\n

Hiki: Yes, but he wouldn’t be happy to be in your room for long.\u00a0 We are going to go through there and take him to his room.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: What if my sister runs into you?<\/p>\n

Hiki: We can run at the speed of light or hide in the shadows.\u00a0 It’s very hard to see us.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Very well but be careful.<\/p>\n

Tori: Aye milady<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Now how do we get up there with him?<\/p>\n

Hiki: Why not just run up.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: While carrying him?<\/p>\n

Hiki: We have Tori don’t we<\/p>\n

Tori: … Shit.\u00a0 (Sighs picking up Chazz by himself).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Laughs).\u00a0 Alright I am sorry for doubting your strength, now let us go.\u00a0 (Climbs to the window).<\/p>\n

Tori: I knew she would call me out on this.<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Sticks her tongue out at Tori then runs up the wall to the window).<\/p>\n

Tori: (Picks up Chazz and runs up as well once both of them are up they both smirk as though they were showing off).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (She is the last to make it up into the room betting a stubborn pout as she crosses her arms blurting out something to make herself feel better about it).\u00a0 Hey, I can beat both of you at a fight if I tried when this is all over.\u00a0 I can take both of you on.\u00a0 (Blushing in embarrassment).<\/p>\n

Hiki and Tori: Milady in all honesty you cannot.\u00a0 Yes, you are strong that is certain but Chazz fought you to train yourself.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Pouts).\u00a0 Well, if maybe I had more control, I would win against him next time.<\/p>\n

Tori: Well, if you do, I won’t hold back again like the other time.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Smiles).\u00a0 I will\u00a0look forward to it.<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Smiles as well with a\u00a0giggle).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Well, I suppose you should go.\u00a0 You need to take care of him.<\/p>\n

Hiki: Yes, we will tell him everything that happened.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Wait leave some things out!<\/p>\n

Hiki: As you wish.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Sighs in relief).\u00a0 Thank you….<\/p>\n

Hiki: We will take our leave.\u00a0 (Both Hiki and Tori vanish at lights\u00a0speed).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Sits there laughing to herself with a sigh).<\/p>\n

Kairi: (Goes through the same hallway heading to her sister’s room as she walks, she feels an odd wind in the hall).\u00a0 That is odd… Wind in a hallway?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Sees Kairi in the hall making a excuse).\u00a0 There must be an open window nearby.<\/p>\n

Kairi: (Enters her sister’s room seeing her on the floor and questions it but shrugs and sits with her telling her about her day as she apologizes for not giving her a lesson in archery).\u00a0 Sis why didn’t you want me to learn weapon fighting like you.\u00a0 I could do it if I tried and was careful.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I do not like the thought of you fighting is all.\u00a0 I only agreed to teach you to protect yourself if I am gone.<\/p>\n

Kairi: Alright….\u00a0 (Looks down thinking about those words).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: It is alright….\u00a0 (Holds her sister).\u00a0 You have me to protect you and I do not\u00a0plan to go anywhere.<\/p>\n

Kairi: Alright… Thank you but I can still learn right?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: You may.<\/p>\n

Kairi: Yay!\u00a0 (Gives her big sister a big hug staying in the room as they chat a bit more the rest of the late afternoon).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Holds Kairi as she falls asleep in her arms then tucks her into bed going to check on Chazz where the room Hiki ends up sleeping on his bed too while Tori goes back into sword form.\u00a0 Jennifer knocks lightly then peaks in seeing Hiki half awake).<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Noticing Jennifer she gets up her clothes a bit loose as she because she is slowly going back to the sword form either not noticing or seeming to enjoy seeing Jennifer in such a flustered state).<\/p>\n

\"\"Jennifer: (Blushes a little bit but pretends not to notice).\u00a0 I will let you sleep then.\u00a0 I will be back with tea though.\u00a0 (Begins to open the door to leave).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Wait milady, what is wrong?\u00a0 Why are you blushing.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: It is nothing….\u00a0 Would you like some tea as well?<\/p>\n

Hiki: Yay yes sounds great.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Very well then Tori, I will make you some as well.\u00a0 (Looks around).\u00a0 Hmm where is he…?\u00a0 (Spots Tori in his sword form).\u00a0 Ahh there you are I will be back in a few. (Bows and leaves quickly before the flustered blushing gets the best of her).<\/p>\n

Hiki and Tori: Thank you.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Wery well.\u00a0 (Heads out the door into the kitchen heating water for the tea then looking if there is something else, she could bring and decides to bring cake as well).<\/p>\n

Tori: Hiki why did you do that to your clothes?<\/p>\n

Hiki: Well because I wanted to see what she would do, though my chest is a little bigger, I think.\u00a0\u00a0I’m not sure.<\/p>\n

Tori: (Sighs shaking his head).\u00a0 You are something else.<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Giggles).\u00a0 I know.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Pauses to try and grab everything).\u00a0 How do servants carry all of this?<\/p>\n

Maid: Do you need help milady?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Declines the help stubbornly and heads on her way almost to the door).<\/p>\n

Maid: Are you sure madam?\u00a0 I know Chazz would be upset if I did not help you.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: No, I have got this.\u00a0 Thank you though.\u00a0 (Continues to walk to Chazz’s room).<\/p>\n

Maid: As you wish milady.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Looks to see if she is gone then uses some of her nature energy\u00a0to balance more cat like and opens the door).\u00a0 I am here with tea and cake.\u00a0 (Places them down on a table offering the tea to both Hiki and Tori seeing Hiki changed into a nightgown and Tori sitting on a chair nearby).\u00a0 I brought you tea and cake as well would you like some?<\/p>\n

Hiki: Yay yes sounds great!<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Hands both tea and cake then notice She had not powered down).\u00a0 Oh, I forgot I used some energy\u00a0to balance the plates.\u00a0 Give me a moment to calm\u00a0down.<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Wakes up and sits up quietly).<\/p>\n

Hiki: Yay cake!<\/p>\n

Tori: Thank you milady.<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Is heard from the background).\u00a0 Now what about me milady?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Oh good, you are up. (Sighs in relief and heads to the table to pour tea).\u00a0 Did you sleep well?<\/p>\n

Chazz: Yes, I did actually.<\/p>\n

Hiki: (Suddenly jumps tackling Chazz in a hug making him fall off of the bed).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Please be careful!\u00a0 (Waves her hands frantically).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Pets Hiki’s head).\u00a0 You must have missed me didn’t you Hiki?<\/p>\n

Hiki: Of course, I did because I love you!<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Laugh Hiki seeming much more affectionate then usual to him).\u00a0 As do I Hiki, as do I.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Smiles and blush at them thinking how cute they look waving any bad thoughts she might have away).<\/p>\n

Chazz: Milady I do apologize for any trouble they have caused you.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: They are no trouble at all.\u00a0\u00a0They are good company in fact.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Well then, I am glad.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Hands tea to everyone in the room).\u00a0 Here you are, would you like some cake as well?<\/p>\n

Chazz: You are too kind.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: You take care of me all the time so I thought I would return the favor.<\/p>\n

Chazz: As you wish but it is still very kind of you think of doing this type of thing for me.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Laughs and stands up straight to bow\u00a0like Chazz would do when he serves her).<\/p>\n

Chazz: No, no you curtsy you do not bow.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Laughs more at Chazz taking it more seriously than she is).\u00a0 I know I am copying you silly.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Milady please….<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Did I do something wrong?<\/p>\n

Chazz: No, you can go back to your room now it is getting late.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Are you sure?\u00a0 I am fine, not tired at all.\u00a0 (Yawns proving otherwise).<\/p>\n

Chazz: Yes, yes go to bed.\u00a0 We have training tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Training?<\/p>\n

Chazz: Yes, yes training.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: For what exactly?<\/p>\n

Chazz: You will\u00a0see.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Looks very confused).\u00a0 Very well then… I will be off.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Very good.\u00a0 (Once Jennifer leaves, he talks with Hiki and Tori about what had happened while he was asleep, leaving a few things out of course.\u00a0\u00a0After that both go back into their sword form though Hiki looks upset about doing).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Skips to her room happily noticing her sister is in her bed and laugh at forgetting she had left her there and tucks her in, sleeping\u00a0next to her for tonight).<\/p>\n
