Chapter two...

~*~*~*~*~*~
Later in that night...
~*~*~*~*~*~

A furry tail in black and white flickered with the faint moon light, it looked like a wolf's tail, yet somehow mixed with a fox's... strolling down the forest in trace of the dark brown beast... the new beast was white, shaded in splashes of black, with golden eyes and a gray silver mane... a single black shaggy lock on one side, and a silky while one on the other... a faint voice of a happy giggle crept through the night, the creature walked until it reached the city boarders, the previous white arm crept brushing away the bush in front of it's sight, showing a hill side where you can view the whole place from the top... it was about midnight by then, and clouds were filling up the sky, blocking the full moons light... and the dark brown beast was there, sitting on a huge stone, tail tucked, cupping his face, scolding him self with a faint sound of light sobbing, feeling guilty and pain torturing his soul...

"God... what-have-I-done..." he lightly asked somewhat sobbing yet sounding angry scolding him self...
"Muma? Is that you over there?" a feminine voice sweetly and softly called...
"??" The beast craned around... to see a female beast, in white, black shading her forearms only, and the end of her feet were shaded as well, her hair/mane was grayish silver with her golden eyes and black shaded lock coming in her view... "B-h... Bijin?? What are you doing here??" he asked disbelieving, as he stood up almost attending to growl, but he just didn't have the heart...
"Nothing!! I was just passing by that's all..." she softly smiled, cupping her waist "is some thing the matter? You're looking shabby!!" she asked as she walked towards him...
"..." Muma said nothing and just turned around and sat on the stone again, ignoring the approaching female... he blinked startled once as she soundlessly sat next to him...
"Muma??" she softly called out his name, yet he didn't crane to her...
"Why are you here Bijin?" he sounded angry "You are an outcaste, and you know better than to come back!!" he almost growled...
"Well now... this isn't Kyofu's territory, now is it? Besides, I was just passing by and saw you here!" frowning a bit she took in a breath, trying to view the beasts face "Muma, what is it?" she really seemed concerned "Muma, if you'd tell me what happened, if you'd like, I may be able to help!!" she stated with a smile as he craned to her with a cocked eyebrow "Hey! Try me!" she grinned widely...
"..." He only glared her frowning; she blinked once and shifted her head a bit farther from his face "Bijin!!" he stated with a cold voice "Go-a way... leave me alone!!" he finished looking back at he city silent...
"........." Her face wrinkled with what seemed anger and pain, but she tried her best to smile "well... a 'would you please go some where else' would've been nicer!!"
"F*** out BIJIN!!" he growled totally angry, slit eye glowing in yellowish gray, teeth showing and standing on his hind legs hissing right in her face, he snorted making her locks twirl backwards and into her face...
"Geez!! What are you so pissed up about??" she brushed them away frowning "you look like you just came out of a loss battle!"

"You were there?"
"I was where?" she cocked an eyebrow...
"No... you couldn't have possibly been there..."
"Been where??"
"Never mind..."
"Aw-C'mon Muma! What are you talking about?"
"Nothing..."
"It doesn't seem like nothing to me!!"
"Bijin... would you just go away..." he stated almost growling...
"Not until you tell me what's wrong!"
"There is nothing wrong!"
"Of course there is!! Or why else would you be so nasty?"
"I am not NASTY!!!!" he growled in her face again...
"Oh..." she waved her hand in front of her face "nice breath! Last time I smelled some thing like that was when I looked under a huge stone only to find a flattened raccoon!!" she tried to make him laugh... it didn't work, so she frowned "What was the last thing you ate?? A dead ox??"
"..."
"Muma, I'm just trying to help!!"
"Well I don't want your help, thank you very much!!" he mocked... "I'm doing just fine right about now!!"
"But Muma!!"
"Go away Bijin..."
"But..."
"I'm warning you Bijin!! I-am-NOT-in-a-mood!!!" he hissed...
"Na-aa!! I ain't leavin'!!" she stood there, arms crossed gawking him with a silly smile, this girl thinks he's kidding her!! The dark brown beast only glared...

"..."
"......?"
"...X..."
"...! ...? ...(Sweat drop) what?"
"Go away Bijin..." he started pacing away back towards the forest...
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to the tem-!! Uhh... never mind..."
"Tem-what?"
"No matter..."
"Muma!! I hate it when you talk puzzle! Say some thing I can understand?"
"It's not like your gonna understand it any way!!" frowning he started yelling, yet not looking or craning towards her "Listen you pesky little half-wit, your nothing but a pain in the ass, do you know that? "
"...!!!" she paused, frowning she started yelling "Well then, I may not be as lovely as Kage, nor as smart as Yami!! But I am who I am though you like it or not, cause it's me and you cant change it!!!"
"Listen here you little-!!!"

Muma growled, he really-REALLY felt like pounding some thing into a pulp, so the minute he craned around to empty his anger at the female, he soundlessly froze... she was angry yet there were tears in her eyes... Muma wondered, why was she so angry about?? Why had she come here at any case? And why mention Yami and Kage?? Did she have some thing to what had happened?? Some thing had him thinking, yet he was driving away by her heartbreaking sobbing...

"Why wouldn't any of you give me another chance? True I made a mistake in the past, but I regret it..." tears streamed down her face "I don't want to be alone... not any more!!" and she just stood there, wet lines drawing down her white face... "I just wanna help! Or is it that you don't even trust me on a simple thing like that??" she questioned...
"Bijin..." whispered the dark brown beast... the way her golden eyes shimmered reminded him of his mate Kage when she gets upset really bad... only difference was, is that when Kage is upset, it's either she brides her hair or f***s up some one, which is usually him!!
"Muma..." she held back her tears, brushing them away with the back of one hand "I-h... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to yell at you like that... I-h... you must've had your reasons... if so," she walked towards the way she came from "I understand and I wont bother you any more!!" that was all she said as she strolled back into the forest silently pacing like a cat...
"Bijin, Wait!!" he called out as he ran after her, she slowly craned back to him with a puzzled look "I-h I'm sorry as well... I didn't mean to be so nasty!! It's just that... I've had a long, loud, exhausting 'bad' day!! I'm a nerves wreck!"
"Well..." she whipped her tears, and tried to smile "I'm sure you must've had your reasons..." she sniffled for a while trying to hold her self back, but some how, she couldn't stop crying...
"Bijin, what's wrong?" asked the dark brown beast "would you stop crying?"
"I want to, I just... cant!!" she sobbed a little... "I hate it when every one yells at me...I was just trying to help, it's not my fault I cant do any thing right?" she started sobbing even worse making the beast feel so guilty he felt the need to thwack his forehead in a huge near by stone so hard it would crack it wide open... but splattering his brains all over the place right now wouldn't be such a good idea now is it!!
"Wonderful..." the beast growled scolding him self hissing... first he smacked his mates face, got rejected by his daughter, and only God knows what Tora and the humans would think, now he's making another female cry!! What could go worse??
"I'm sorry..." she stated fighting back tears by holding in her breath "I just need a little time here... I'm okay... I'm okay now!" she slowly stopped and dried up her face, she held in her breath, then gave a long sigh, still trying to smile... "I bet I look stupid breaking into tears like that, eh?" she shyly smiled feeling her face, yet not looking at him...
"No-no-no! Not at all... when you cry, you just... look a little..." he felt a little rush of heat in his face "well... cute!"
"!!" She eyed him now; she felt like her face was burning, her long black ears shifted back in embarrassment "Oh! For a minute there I thought you'd say I look like a wimp!"
"No! I'd never think that about you!" he stated, softly cupping her shoulders "Bijin, though you and I shared a lot of time together in the past, it's all been so long, I'm just glad I got to see you again!"
"Me too! Despite last spring carnival, I haven't seen you since you and Kage left the lands... (Pause) come to think of it... you're usually 'with' Kage, right? Where is she?"
"Err (sweat drop) long story!"
"Well... you can talk about it if you'd like!"
"I dunno!"
"Aw-C'mon Muma! For old times sake, please? Talk to me cause I'm desperately lonely here!!"
"Well... I guess it wouldn't hurt!"

Muma and Bijin went back to the hill side to talk... in the mean time back at the temple... the temple boy and the orange beast were fighting like usual, as the priest and the young golden female just watched... Serena had an ice pack laid on her face as she silently dazed into her own world, it didn't seem that she even paid attention to the battle at any case... but it also seems that neither the golden female or the priest did!!

"Listen brat!"
"No a** h***, you listen! Kage is staying in my room you like it or not!!"
"That's not the point!"
"Oh yeah? Then what is?"
"Your room is small, crowded, a real mess and it stinks!!"
"Better than with you!!"
"What!! The rooftops are much better! At least she can 'breath' fresh air!!"
"Read my lips YOU-STINK Tora!!"
"If like you don't!!"
"Grrr..."
"GRRR!!" with many X's
"Humph!!"
"Humph!!!"
"..."
"...X..."

The temple boy craned to his father, sitting next to the golden young female as they both seemed to be in some sort of hypnotic mode... they all were gazing at nothing, all silent yet all wide awake... Serena seemed to be falling asleep, her head slightly resting on the priests shoulder with his arm around her waist, resting her head on hers... Ann slowly fell asleep as well and rested her head in her mother lap, all three fast asleep... Ushio was just about to protest when he heard a loud cat like yawn from a huge orange beast behind him... Tora didn't last for more than a minute before he fell slumping on the floor, the spring's squeaked by his weight, he curled around him felt and went to dream land... Ushio gawked them all, but then, felt awful sleepy him self and only found him self blanking out...

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ouch!! That must've hurt!!" said the white female eyeing the dark brown beast "well, what are you gonna do now?"
"I dunno... honestly... I wanna go and apologize... I just... don't know if she'd forgive me!!"
"Well, I don't know Kage that well, but I think she's the nice type!! Maybe consider the thought of 'forgive and forget' perhaps?"
"She works by that some times... I guess she was so jealous; we ended up really jamming thing up! But now, I'm worried about one thing..."
"Really? What?"
"Ann!"
"Oh yeah... your daughter... she really must've been angry seeing you hit her mother like that and all, maybe you need to prove to her and Kage that you and I are just..." she paused trying to pull out the word...
"Friends and not lovers?" he softly asked...
"Yeah... friends..." she sighed... facing the other way...
"Bijin... I told you I loved you, but like a brother!! I didn't really know how you truly felt towards me!"
"So it was never written for me to have you... might as well live with that and help you in your life that you already have, defiantly in this predicament!!" she faced him again, but with tears forming in her eyes "although you were my first love!" she stated, "I really loved you Muma! I loved you from the bottom of my heart!" she whispered softly "you were the only one there for me when every one turned their backs on me!! No one believed me but you!!" she stated strongly...
"Bijin!" he whispered back, then they held in an embrace, as her tears streamed down her face and on his dark brown fur...
"Only god know how lonely I was with out you... I was so scared... " She sobbed, hiding her face in his torso...
"It's all over now... it's all-over!" he stated softly as he brushed back her silver and black locked trying to ease up her pain...

~*~*~*~*~*~
After some time...
~*~*~*~*~*~

"Muma... are you sure about this?" Bijin asked the dark brown beast as they approached the temple...
"C'mon Bijin! I need you to prove my innocence to Kage and Ann!! And in the same time to find a reason good enough to apologize to her with out her kicking my crouch!" he sounded embarrassed "and I'm telling you, she kicks 'hard'... really hard!!" he shallowly crossed his legs with a silly grin...
"I (cough) dunno... some thing doesn't feel right!" she almost smiled seeing him do so, and then craned to the temple...
"What do you mean?"
"I dunno... some thing about this temple looks... glum!!"
"Glum?" asked the beast then turned gazing at the temple... the female was right, the temple 'did' look a bit different he just couldn't pin down what it was "Bijin!" he called "stay here, I'll be right back!"
"Wh-where are you going?"
"Stay here don't worry!"
"But...!?" he was already gone "Okay, I guess!"

The white female gazed the temple not knowing if she should follow or not, she really didn't know what was going on, so she didn't know if she should go in or not... the black thing from before noticed her as it perched on the top of the rooftops, her whiteness revealed in reflection of the moon light appearing from between the cloudy night, it growled with a wicked grin, Bijin didn't see it gliding towards her, until it was too late... as the dark brown beast walked towards the sliding door and opened it, only to find ever one laid down and asleep!!

"What the...??" he walked towards his mate, only to see her in the priests arms... "Kage! Shigure! Ann!!" he tried to wake them up by calling their names, it didn't work "Hey! Get up!" he stated carefully shaking the priest by the shoulder...
"(Moan)" the priest woke up...
"..." Kage blinked a few times before feeling her head "I feel so... heavy..."
"Um, what hit me?" asked the young golden female, then blinking her father cupping her mothers face "Huh?"
"Oh..." the temple boy drew him self off the ground and used the spear to stay balanced "Geez, I never felt my head so heavy since Tora first tried perching on my shoulders!!"
"Are you all-all right?" asked the dark brown beast, and then turned to his daughter, she only glared; yet she gave a nod...
"Muma!" started the red headed female "why have you come back?"
"?" Muma turned to his mate with a guilty face "I ... wanted to apologize for all what have happened!" he kneeled and held her hands "Kage, would you ever forgive me?"
"Well... only if Ann does!!" she craned to her daughter...
"..." Ann glared for a second, her fathers face seems shamed for what he did, so she lightly smiled "I guess...!"
"!" The dark brown beasts smile widened and held his daughter in an embrace, his mate joined...
"Oh, and by the way Muma!" stated the red headed female...
"?"
"You still haven't told me who that female was!!" Kage slightly glared with a small evil smile as she pinched his dark brown tushy...
"Ouch!!" he jilted, and then with a sweat drop, he stupidly chuckled "well... we'll explain every thing!"
"We?"
"Well... she's waiting out side!"
"What? You brought her here?"
"Well, yeah I was just..."

"HEY!!!" interrupted the temple boy "where is Tora?" he asked looking around to where the beast slept... he wasn't there any more...
"He was here, wasn't he?" Ann asked...
"Well... TORA!!?? HEY!! A** H***! Where are ya?"
"Yeah... I wonder where he went (pause) Geez, please don't tell me he sleep-walks!!" groaned the priest...
"Well, I'll go call Bijin and be right back!"
"Bijin? Is that her name?"
"Uhh -^__^-() yeah! Um, I'll be right back!"

When Muma walked a few steps out side, he figured out that his white female friend was gone as well, feeling confused he scrolled around, and yet found no trace of her... attending to crane around he felt something creep from besides of him... noticing it in the nick of time, and dodging a black fisted blow, the dark brown beast got ready for the up-coming battle... the thing was actually a big gust of black smock, but then, a pair of red bloody eyes came as a set of long fangs appeared... hands and long quick arms darted him from within the gust thing...

"What the heck??"
"Oh-My!!" gasped the red headed female eyeing the gusty thing...
"What is that?"
"I dunno Ann!" replied the temple boy, clutching the spear it started humming "and I give no damn care! No beast attacks my home and lives to tell about it!!" he growled as he darted the spear to the gusty thing...
"!!!" The priest eyed the thing, lightly panting, he felt odd about it, he never knew why, and worse than that, the doorbell rung!! So he found him self forced on either ignoring it or replying... if it turned out to be Asako or Mayuko, they'll know some thing is going on and maybe barge in and get them selves in trouble, if not, the one ringing the bell will go away normally... he had no choice but to ignore it...

"HEY!!" the boy shot his eyes open as the spear went through the gust not harming the thing... it only gave a laughing sound... "What's so funny gas-bag?"
"You humans are so pitiful!!" a hissing voice answered...
"It can talk?" asked Serena as she eyed her daughter...
"Grrr..." Muma felt some thing pretty bothering about this gusty thingy, so he thought he'd try to talk it to reason... if he could!
"..." Serena eyed her mate, tail frozen, not tucked, yet not flickering 'strategy?' she thought, as she knew her mate... when he thinks, his tail freezes like that non-moving but when he's ready to make a move, it either tucks when he's ready to make a physical strategy plan, and flickers when he wants to talk to the enemy... after a pause... it flickered...
"So... would you at least tell us who you are?"
"WHAT?" growled the boy; he was only calmed down by the red headed females cupping hands on his shoulders...

"Well then... it's not like names mean any thing..." it mumbled "why do you ask?"
"So I could figure out if I should splatter you or not?"
"Oh?" it laughed really loud then glared "try!"
"Gladly!"
"But not with me!!"
"Huh?"
"Try it... with them!!"
"Them?" Muma breathed...
"Them?" repeated the temple boy...

The big gust thingy raised up and off the ground twisting and turning in a simple hurricane, only for Tora and Bijin to walk out of it black wall it made... Muma shot his eyes wide open, and so did the temple boy, not forgetting the others... Serena eyed the white female and the ancient beast, they both had some thing in common, she just couldn't pin it down... Muma and Ushio would have to fight Tora and Bijin??!!

"Tora!! Bijin!!!" asked the beast in disbelieve, then jerked his head to the gust and shouted, "What have you done to them?"
"..." It only chuckled...
"Well, I'll be more than happy to swat old a** h***! But who's the female?"
"Uhh, she's the one Kage and I fought over!"
"Oh!"
"She is??" Serena rose her eye brows "in that case, I take back every thing I said... she's gorgeous!!" frowning at her mates merry face "but that 'still' doesn't clear you up buster!! 'You-and-I' have a lot to talk about!!"
"Yes dear..." -n.n- '
"Would you two get this over with??" squeaked the temple boy trying to hold back his anger with a fake smile... turning to the ancient orange beast, he was just standing their on four feet, stiff as a statue, and as same as silent... the white female was just the same... "Okay......... now what?"

"Juice 'em n' reduce 'em!!" smiled the beast "you take care of Tora, I'll take down Bijin!"
"AHEM!!!" Serena coughed frowning...
"KAGE!!!! It's not what you think! HONEST!!!" he hollered...
"Enough chit-chatting!! GO!!!" the gusty thingy cried as the two beasts attacked...

Tora leaped non-mindedly towards the temple boy, as it was clear that he wasn't even thinking of what he was doing... Ushio easily dodged the blow as the female crackled thunder and sent it towards the dark brown beast... the gust thingy took the chance of the two in battle, and crept towards the two females and the priest... Shigure kept feeling oddly dizzy and couldn't even stand on his own feet the more the think crept closer to them, somehow, the things presents made him grow weak... so it was easy for the beast thingy to grab Serena and Ann while they were busy watching the battle... ignoring the weak priest...

"Ahh!!" shrieked the red headed woman slapping and punching the gusty hand wrapping around her body... "Let go of us you-you... thing!!!"
"Grrr!!!" Ann tried digging her jaws in the beast, but every time she jabbed a bite, she ends up coughing out gust...
"KAGE!!" gasped the beast; he was just about to turn to help them when thunder slapped his face sending his crashing into a tree... face fur burned...
"MUMA!!" Serena cried...
"Dad!!" Ann struggled...
"..." The white female had her eyes looking asleep as she silently walked to the dark brown beast...
"Bh... Bijin... snap out of it!!" he hardly opened his eyes feeling his face, not able to focus as she walked towards him...
"Oh-Uh!!!" the temple boy gasped as the ancient beast jumped him in a second of absent-minded... Ushio got bitten in the leg by the ancient beast, if he was a little late, Tora may've been able to snip off his whole leg! Grapping his pain, he started cursing and tried to walk...

Ushio eyed the beast, as Tora's eyes seemed... gray?! He was controlled by the gust thing, and so was the female, as her eyes were in gray as well... the orange beast growled as it licked blood stain from around it's muzzle and oddly chuckled as if got drunk or some thing... the beast walked to the temple boy with hunger for human flesh, Ushio, and for the first time, hesitated in swatting the beast... he just couldn't do it... Tora finally had a taste of him... of his blood... the beast leaped towards the boy, and Ushio ducked... only did the yelp of the orange beasts pain made him look back up, as he saw a glowing golden arrow shine as it was pined right in the beasts back hunches... recognizing the arrow, Ushio craned around only to see the red headed beast hunter Fuusetsu standing there with another arrow, aim to the female beast who was trying to dig her claws in the dark brown beasts shoulders...

"Fuusetsu, wait! She's a friend!!"
"...!" The red headed man cocked an eye brow, then jerked again releasing the arrow...
"NO!!" cried the dark brown beast as the arrow hit her right in the heart...
"!!!" Bijin froze there standing on her hind legs, and then falling back with a thud, non-moving...

Ushio froze eyeing the white female as she fell, heart racing he eyed the orange beast only to find him slumped there motionless as the arrow slowly vanished... slowly dragging him self to his friend, Ushio eyed the beast for a second as his eye lids trembled then slowly opened... glowing in a silver glow as he sat back up and felt his leg... there was no wound, yet no blood...

"F***! What a hangover..."
"T-Tora?"
"What is it brat?"
"Are you... all right?"
"Yeah... but I've got this taste in my mouth... it's tastes... appetizing! I wonder where it came from!" he asked, then gave a confusing look as he eyed the boy's wounded foot...
"Please don't!" breathed the boy, and then eyed the dark brown beast, with the white beast in his arms...

"Ushio!" stated the beast hunter "are you all right?"
"Why?" glared the boy "I told you she was a friend!"
"..." Fuusetsu lightly chuckled "not to worry, she won't die!" he turned to look at her now "she may've been shoot in the heart, but that arrow wont kill her..." then waked towards the dark brown beast using his crutches...
"Bijin..." whispered the beast as he cradled her in his arms "Bijin can you hear me?"
"..." Her face was silent and pure white...
"Muma! Let me handle this..."
"Fuusetsu? When did you come here?"
"I was looking for Elena... and Taifuu started humming when I passed by this temple, so I thought I'd drop in and see if there's any thing worth doing!"
"..." The beast laid back the white female and left the red headed man simply do nothing but rest the bow on her chest... the bow started glowing in a shimmering light or hued light blue... when the glowing stopped, Fuusetsu picked it up and stood up, and that's when Bijin's eye lids trembled...
"(Moan)" she drew a hand and felt her torso...

"Might as well be on my way..." murmured the red headed man but as he took a single step forwards, he was face to face with the temple boy "Yes?"
"You said you were looking for Elena?"
"Yes... why?"
"We saw her this afternoon at the near by restaurant down town..."
"Yeah... she said she was going to get lunch, but she didn't come back, and when I went looking for her I found my trench coat... but no sign of Elena..."
"I see..."
"Ushio!"
"Yes?"
"Since Muma's here... I just wanted to ask... where's Kage?"
"OH-My Gosh!! KAGE AND ANN!!!"
"??"

The temple boy craned to where the gusty thing went and ran, but some thing clutched his foot, as it turned out to be the ancient orange beast angrily standing up, dusting him self then slurring to him self in a case of angry cursing... then the priest stood up feeling his heavy head and walked to his son... Fuusetsu did nothing but fork back his crimson locks...

"Wait until I get my claws on that F***ing son of an a** h***!!!"
"Relax Tora, that thing ain't going nowhere!"
"What ever... if you two are done, I'm leaving..."
"Fuusetsu wait!"
"??"
"Why are you here?"
"Looking for Elena! Why?"
"Kage and Ann have been taken away by a smog thing... and I was hoping that you might help us rescue them?"
"What's in it for me?"
"WHAT??" hollered the dark brown beast as he helped the white female stand on her own feet "you want them to die??"
"..."
"Taifuu ain't gonna like that!"
"I am in no mood to battle her right now... besides, I'm more worried about Elena!" eyeing the white female "and who's that any way?"
"Uh, I'll explain later!"
"What ever..."
"Fuusetsu..." hissed the temple boy pointing the spears head in the mans neck, the hunters eyes shot wide open "either you help us... or I'll let Tora eat' cha!!"
"Really!!" merely asked the orange beast, tail flickering...
"Do that Ushio... and if Kage ever turns back to normal... she's kill you in her own way!" mockingly slurred the dark brown beast...
"F***..." Tora growled to him self...

"We have to stop that thing..." whispered the white female... "He may've gotten to the cliff side by now!"
"Cliff side?"
"Yeah... that's where I first met him!"
"ME HIM??!"
"Muma... please don't hate me! If I knew this was gonna happen I never would've told him where the temple was..."
"WOW WAIT a minute here... explain to us please??" hollered the temple boy...

~*~*~*~*~*~
*~*~*~*~*~*

Beyond the temple was a cliff side with a jagged end... in the bottom of the cliff was a cave where the unknown beast lived... it seemed to be good in controlling a persons mind and body, transforming it's victim into a mindless puppet... usually it sleeps and only awakes when it feels hunger... but if disturbed, it could grow sour and nasty... since it is created by nothing but mere smog or smock, wind and fire seem to be a good way to destroy it... but with the females in it's presents, who knows if they are still alive and in one piece or not... The cliff side is a long way down and going either up or down would be impossible, unless you can fly your way through though!!

*~*~*~*~*~*
~*~*~*~*~*~

"So... meaning?" the boy asked...
"We have to get Kage and Ann before the gusty thing devours them!"
"Devours?"
"Sadly yes... that thing feeds on the creatures spirit not his flesh!" Bijin spoke but still tired...
"O__O;;;; oh my!!!"
"........." Tora only gave a yawn "well then, can we go F*** it up already?"
"May we?" corrected the white female...
"What ever!" T_T x
"This is no time for grammar corrections Bijin!!! ^__^ x we gotta go help my family!!"
"Your right... but..." craning to the red headed man with one leg "does 'he' has to come with us?"
"You gotta problem Bit**?"
"Bit**!!!??? Now-NOW Buddy! No need for impoliteness!!" she growled...
"What ever..."
"ALRIGHT you two that's enough!!!" hollered the priest really sick of all of this "just get you hides outta here and help the females already!!" for the first time, Shigure started cursing them all after that sentence...
"Uhh (sweat drop) Dad? You all right?"
"Like F***ing HELL I am!!!" he shot his eyes wide open glaring his son...

All eyeing him with wide eyes, even the ancient beast, not forgetting all with them had pretty big sweat drops, Shigure felt a rush of stupidity and embarrassment for loosing his temper, shrinking in shame he brushed his clothing and stood with a dignified look and just cleared his throat...

"Forget that it ever happened" U_U '
"Sure dad!" r__r '
"(Lightly chuckling) finally the guy's calm nerves kicked the bucket!!!" Tora whispered to him self in amusement...
"I have no idea why I still hang around you people and beasts... you are 'So-Weird!!'" stated the one legged man annoyed... then walked towards he white female "where is this cliff already? I wanna get this over with to find Elena!!"

"Fuusetsu!"
"What do you want brat?"
"Brat?" the temple boy repeated...
"Brat?" Questioned the orange beast "Hey! I'm the only one in this show who calls Ushio 'Brat' got that one leg?"
"Shut up you huge sack of Crap..."
"WHAT did you just call me?"
"CRAP!!! It's spelled C-R-A-P!!! Understood?"
"Why-I-Aught-To...Grrrr...!!!!"

============================ *.* '

"We shall settle this later, can we go on with the fic already?" said Ushio...
"Acutely, Jessiy [the author] is fresh outta ideas right now and she's probably making us say all this Sh** of a conversation until she can find an idea to finish this story with!!" concluded the dark brown beast...
"Muma!!! (I smacked him with a feminine mallet) You just blew my cover!!"
"What the matter with you lately? Pimsy or some thing!?" Muma growled...
"Uhh... (I blushed and thwacked him with a piano)!!!"
"Oh?" Fuusetsu craned to me out of the comic page "why didn't you tell me you were outta ideas?"
"Oh! [Me!] Well, I-uhh.... Sorry... ^o^ HEY!! I think it's time for a coffee break! Would any one care to join?"
"Coffee? Yum!!"

And so... we all went to take a brake at the coffee shop...

"Hey! What about Ann and Kage?"
"Oh don't worry" I said "Gusty is serving them tea and chocolate chip cookies at his den till I come out with the next scene!!"
"I want chocolate chip cookies!!!" the temple boy cheered...
"What ever..."
"Oh-Fuu C'mon!!! Lighten up a little! Care for cappuccino?" ~.o
"Cappuccino?? Now that's a delight I like!!!" ^____^

A/N: clumsy me... I'll finish chapter three as soon as I can... though I'm sick right now, and fresh outta ideas... *ugh* see you later... ~__~||| I wanna vomit...
