she shivered slowly petting nick's back, she was afraid but unafraid in that same moment, she had no idea about what was going on, why satoshi and she had the same necklace,
what was going on? was he her relative? they looked nothing alike.. what did this mean?

ai looked down at nick with a concerned expression "are.. are we siblings?" she whispered hopeing they were unrelated.

ai looked down at nick with a concerned expression "are.. are we siblings?" she whispered hopeing they were unrelated.

Nicks ear's flicked forward ad he studied her and the other male breathing in and gave a huff of air. a low purr rumbling through his system as he contemplated the two scents . they smelled nothing alike. his magic reached out to surround the two stones.

ai looked down at the panther attemtping to contemplate what he was doing, she tilted her head knowing nothing of magic then looked over at satoshi who looked like he was getting ready to panick

Satoshi had gripped his katana hilt in anticipation so hard that his knuckles turned white.

Breathing in he frowned. 'Common theme in your scents, but Im not sure if your related, or distant relatives or its just a common scent with your people.' he finally decided as he sat down tail lashing back and forth as he glared at the other male. he snorted. it wasn't like HE'D attack the other.. the other had nothing to fear from him.

Satoshi released his hilt and the blood flowed back into his knuckles.

"I guess it was just a coincidence."

ai nodded and looked at satoshi with wonder "i dont think he'll hurt you" she mumbled, she hadnt known what to do until now, her hand glided over nick's soft fur in enjoyment

Nick let his eye's slit as he watched the other male, that low rumbling purr working its way from his chest and throat. 'He'd be dead if he tried..' nick thought in amusement. but the sad thing was. it would of been true. nick would of KILLED the other if he'd attacked him.

kai crawled out into the world again, she looked down at her body which had seemingly changed but, again not noticeable to others except to her. she slowly made her way toward the lake and slipped into the water after stripping down to her skivvies. Her tail swayed back and forth in the warm water

"satoshi you gotta learn how to calm down" ai giggled while watching nick then looking over at the cat woman who was obviously tired but in need of some floating time

Satoshi got up and went into the lake and swam to the other side leaving a trail of frozen water behind him. He wandered into the forest to be alone for a bit.

ai sighed and sat down next to nick looking into his eyes with a shy smile "you're really nice" she mumbled then looked over at kai who was floating on her back "is she your sister?"

Nick flicked an ear towards the women speaking and watched Kai wairly. 'Yes.. she's my sister. has been since we came to this forest to escape being recaptured.;

she smiled and while they watched kai "she's pretty" the girl mused watching while she floated in the water peacefully "her stomach is a little... um, it doesnt look like it'd fit her body mass" she blinked "is she a mother?"

(Why did we randomly stop posting here?)

Ai stumbled back into the forest holding little Aiya's hand and pulling Aiko along with them, her sister had once more found her way back into the woman's life "where is he!?" aiko whined twitching her ears nervously "i dont know" ai mumbled

[i'm resurrecting this forum so i'm sorry for not posting a profile for aiko and aiya]

Satoshi wandered around the forest, just looking around at the scenery. He wished Aiko were with him, he also missed Aiya. He knew that there was almost no chance of them being here. Since he had 'time jumped' they had most likely passed away by this time.

Aiko screamed when her foot hovered over a coiled snake, which, scared little aiya who began to cry and cling to ai who was shaking her head and laughing "it's a garner snake you goof!" her voice echoed off into the distance which, aiko's scream drowned out. Satoshi, if near by, would recognize it.

Satoshi was laying down up in a tree branch, hands behind his head, and looking up at the sky. His ear's twitched at an oddly familiar scream. He sat up on the branch, holding the sides under him to balance himself, and looked around. He looked at the area of the lake he swam across and saw Ai with two other people. He jumped down and walked to the edge of the lake, Ai was on the opposite side of him, and tried to see who was with Ai.

aiko ran away from the small snake with inevitably followed her, curiosity drawing the creature toward her "Aiko!" Ai yelled "stop running from it! it wont hurt you!" the cat woman however didnt listen she soon enough ran out of ground to run on and found herself in the lake gasping from the sudden rush of liquid around her, she shook off before biting her lower lip "haha.." she laughed again looking back to see the snake staring at her with an amused look in it's eyes.

Aiya giggled and clung to ai "momma! auntie is funny! where's uncle satoshi?" her small voice was curiously painful to ai "i'm not sure" she didnt even know where she was, she recognized the area but not totally.

Satoshi heard Ai call out Aiko's name, Aiko's here? He slowly stepped onto the lake, the water freezing below him, and walked toward the figure standing next to the lake on the other side. When he got about half way across, he could clearly see that the figure was Aiko. His eye's opened wide when his mind finally registered who it was. He started running across the rest of the lake yelling,"Aiko, Aiko!" He was waving an arm at her to get her attention.

she turned around blushing deeply and smiling widely "satoshi!!" she swam toward him though when she got close enough the water around her was freezing cold, she shivered before biting her lower lip and looking up at him "i-i.. i cant believe it's actually you!!" she was absolutely euphoric

ai was watching in astonishment as satoshi bound toward her sister ".." that's when she realized the reality of the situation, where was arekkusu? hadnt he been killed? yes.. he was sentenced to death as well as satoshi, thankfully the ice man had gotten away though..

Satoshi raised his temperature to a normal person's when he got close to Aiko. When he did, he practically tackled Aiko into the water as he fell. He quickly came back up, holding her in his arms tightly,"Aiko, I can't believe it's actually you!" He was amazed, but a little confused,"How did you get here?"

"i-i'm not really sure!" she smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck pressing her lips to his, the joy of everything causing her to cry with joy, shoulders bobbing she blushed a deep red, her tail snaked around his waist "alright you two!" ai giggled while aiya bounced "uncle satoshi's here momma!!" she didnt want to bring up the subject of her father again.. not so soon.

Satoshi pulled away from Aiko and took her hand into his own. He walked her out of the water and back to Ai and Aiya. He froze the water that was on him and it shattered off. He looked down at Aiya, who had grown even more since the last time he saw her, and smiled,"How have you been Aiya, staying out of trouble I presume?"

"nope" she grinned, they were running from the law for something young Aiya had done. she found out about her father's death and went after those who killed him her grin wasnt that of a child but that of a killer "she.." ai gasped "i killed the men who killed my daddy and were after you" she was proud which horrified aiko, her grip tensed on his hand.
