    Katashi had to step in with his son when he watched how angry Ichirou had gotten over the reveal and the note. Letting his wife handle hysterical Hinode in her black kimono while he took care of his son. Putting his years of psychical strength to use by restraining his own child. Which left him to knock Ichirou off his feet on to the floor before him with his usual cool demeanor. To only take a defensive stance while making his son recall the story of their ancestor's death. “Do you think her lover allowed the sight of her former master's blade penetrating her heart angry him? Watching the life drain out of her as she used the last

    She laid out the kimono gingerly, taking in the beautiful patterns of sakura and its petals.  A beautiful taste of white and silk, touches of pink chiffon; the obi, spring green like her eye.  She cant help but smile the tiniest piece.  "Its here."    "Are you sure about this?" Shinji stood at the archway to her room.  "Is this, really for the best?"  Aine smiles brighter at her guardian.  "Aine." She nods her head, looking back at the kimono.  "I know, you think its a sudden choice on my end.  However, Shinji, this is something I have thought a lot about.  For a long time, and I....I'm ready." Shinji came up behind her, taking a shaky

 Ichirou's and Jai's return home wasn't a peaceful one when they returned home. Lady Kazuno was given a note from in Anie's handwriting was delivered. She didn't ask Shiro any details of how this was given to the wolf. She ended up wiping her hands on her kappogi before handling the letter any further. Breaking the seal and unfolding the piece of folded paper with curious eyes. To only yell for her husband a the top of her lungs from the kitchen. Priest Katashi rushed in with his chest heaving for air and worry on his face. To only find his wife sitting on the kitchen's floor just staring at a sheet of paper. “This better be good?̶

Her hand reached out, turning off the alarm.  How long was she asleep for? Groggily, she rubs her eyes, looking.  Where is she? Oh, somehow....home.  She turns to her side, sleeping Shinji is snoozing away beside her.  "I'm up..."    "Oh, no need to wake you up then?" Bump-bump...that voice.  Aine looks up, and she can't breath.  Those beautiful green eyes are looking at her confused.  That thick brown-red hair is tied up in a messy bun.  Those lips are smiling, at her.  "Come on my sleepy priestess, you have to go bathe at the-"    "Okaa-san...Okaa-san!!" She grasping at tight as she could, the clothes are real. ITS REAL!!  "Okaa-sannn..."

 Ichirou repeatedly felt a tightening in his chest everyone morning when he woke up in abruptly from his futon. Cold sweat that cover most of his body and trembling state he was in upon sitting up. Pain increase when he ever thought of Anie and the trouble that was harming her. Her voice was always in his ear and went off like loudest firecracker in his head between sleep and awake state. Had him ready to take a calming breath and get back to sleep with Hitomi nuzzling his one of his hands as she whined. He reached out with that very hand to start petting her in assuring matter to relax her. “Someone have another Anie related nightmare

A 15 minute car ride from Tokyo to Yokohama was boring at best for someone like Jai, He couldn't stay at the temple with Uncle Katashi, when an announcement to leave the grounds was made. He and Ichirou, in their civilian clothing with one of the newest wolves between them, in the back seat sat of an unmarked town car, with Lady Kazuno behind the wheel. “Want to visit the girls?” Jai would come to ask his cousin with a wiggle of his eye brows. “A promise is a promise.” Ichirou whispered with a rough sigh. “Party pooper.” Jai mumbled. Ichirou rolled his eyes at Jai to closed his eyes and leaned his head

    The train ride is long, and my head is still swirling.  Hina is sitting beside me, now trying to use a crystal to help her locate Kiyoko's mother.  I want to try but I feel so heavy with regret.  My lips and heart still tingle from my kiss with Ichirou.  I couldn't face him today, and he agreed to stay away from now.  It felt wrong, not having my knight close by.  Ayame was probably displeased with me.  I regret all of it.  However, we are here.    "Aine, you should eat," Arashi hands me a box of green tea pocky.  I smile at her and she grins such a wide grin.  "You have to take care of yourself.  Can't be the head of the shrine if you'r

Lady Kazuno had a specific type of snack bun she served to her children and mikos of Sakura’s shrine. She baked and steamed herself by using a bun recipe handed down to her from her mother. Not that the bun’s natural red coloring was an indicator, or the sweet scent to anyone when given this to snack on. Used a fruity filling that had an over whelming taste of tartness and sourness some couldn’t handle. Was something that didn’t bother him or his son when presented with a few buns. “Still unable to handle the juices that spill out…..” Katashi watched Ichirou take his first few bites of this bun. R

They were times that Jai didn’t understand a thing that he was to suppose to do when night fall came. Not that he had time to ask about these strange chores that he was doing with Ichirou after Ayame’s death. All the running around kept him from getting bored so easily and bothering Aoki and Rina. “Does Anie know you do this after her archery?” Jai asked picking through remands of broken arrows. Ichirou could shush Jai when he placed he broken ends of arrows that were fired from bow of Anie or Hina’s bows. End of broken arrows that the two were collecting were back end were feathers were connected. Without att
