She smiled kindly at her " come on I"ll piggy back you home" She offered as she knelled down for her to get on her back wanting to get away from her cousin as fast as possible.

Michi clambered onto Yasmin's back rather gracefully and locked her arms loosely around the older girls neck. "We should huwwy, Bwig Bwother will be waiting." Michi whispered softly, eyes carefully avoiding the other person.

yasmin took off at a full run, not stopping once until she was safely inside the manor with michi.

Riku's head snapped up as soon as the front door opened. He stood to his feet and glided to the front door, "Welcome back." he murmured quietly, taking Michi off of Yasmin's back and holding her.

Yasmin was panting and sweating from the long run back " do not let anyone leave this manor" she told him leaning against the wall. she knew her cousin was much stronger then herself what he was doing in this city she ahd no clue.

"No one has left since they came in besides you, Michi, and myself." Riku answered quickly, as if she had merely asked about the time. "Come, it's time for dinner..."

She grabbed his arm " riku i need to speak to you now" She said if more of her family were coming then she had to tell him. they were a danger to everyone and if they were looking for her then it wouldn't take them long to find her.

"It will have to wait." Riku murmured. He knew it was urgent, judging by her tone, but he couldn't put everything on hold for her...or could he? "Michi...run along and go tell everyone that dinner is ready." The small girl hopped from Riku's arms and nodded, running off. "You have five minutes love."

She took a deep breath and rushed through what she had to say " riku my family is coming I'm not sure if it will be the whole clan but my cousin is already here. He's stronger then me and so is everyone else, I Think they are looking for me since i went A wall and if that is true then everyone here is in danger because of me I have to leave" she said before running up the stairs to get her stuff. she wasn't even going to stay for dinner.

Riku was beside her in a moment, "And who said you could leave?" he murmured, catching her hands to stop them from gathering her things, "You will come have dinner with us, and we'll discuss this then. Everyone in this household deserves to know what is happening. And not from me, you."

She was obvious frightened " NO i have to go now before My cousin finds me here" She said trying to take her hands back from him. " and i do NOT need your permission to leave"

"No I suppose you don't..." Riku agreed letting go of her hands, "I just don't know how I'll explain to Michi why her 'big sister' left. You know how little kids are..." Riku walked back to the doorway, "...always blaming themselves for everything."

" its better for her this way" She stated already putting up the cold wall she learned to put in place during her slayer training. She stuffed things hurriedly into her bag.

"At least stay for dinner?" Riku suggested, "You won't get very far on an empty stomach. And it gives you time until Michi falls asleep, it's better to leave after she's out anyway."

She shook her head " if he didn't see us leave and fallow us here then my cousin will find me as we are in the midst of dinner" she said lightly what she didn't tell riku was that she'd be killed on sight for deserting the clan.

"I don't believe you." Riku's tone had gone from aloof to icy in a matter of seconds.

she shook her head " believe what you will I only tell you fact" She told him as she tried to walk past him out of the bedroom door.

Riku made no move to get out of the way, still standing in the doorway, his back to Yasmin, "Is that so? Then why don't you tell me everything? The entire truth and not just the edited parts."

She sighed and turned around she opened the window and chucked her bag out of it and then simply climbed out just like the last time, she slid down the drain pipe.

Riku muttered under his breath as he followed her out the window, "Running away won't save us. They'll most likely come to get rid of us anyway. Most of the ones living here will be like sitting ducks for your family. It would give us a better chance of survival if we at least knew something of our enemies."

She looked back at him and shook her head as she picked up her bag " they aren't here for you, they're here for me. they will leave you alone until they have me and only after a new clan member as been assigned here will you have trouble with them again" She said to him as she walked away " and I'm not running" in fact she really wasn't she was going to give her self up so that they wouldn't bother the family.

"So you're giving up is it?" Riku questioned, leaning against the wall of the manor, "We don't need you protecting us if that's what you think."

She turned on him fire in her eyes " do not call me a coward" She said seething at that. " I am going to face them" She said briskly before heading off at a fast pace run she could feel her cousin coming closer.

Riku's eyes narrowed and he followed her swiftly, melting right into the shadows behind her, even if she didn't want it, he would protect her, if not for Michi...then for himself.

As soon as she was on the main road arms went around her
" there you are cousin, I thought you didn't like me but here you are rushing back" he said smirking
" Drake take your filthy hands off me" her voice was dark. the way angle used to speak before she killed someone.
