Aki nodded. She understood his feelings- the thought of your family line ceasing to exist after your death was depressing indeed... sighing, she lifting a dozing Nobilis into her arms, stepping silently down the hallways. Picking a random door, she opened it to find a starry sky, massive trees, and a hammock, strung between the upper branches. A warm breeze blew across her face, and she stepped quickly inside, climbing with ease to the hammock and slipping in it to nap for a bit... a much needed nap, that is.

Ryu sighed and fell asleep.

Long after Kasuimi and Doku fell asleep, Ogami woke p and walked outside, gazing at the moon.
"O joy, a full moon tonight in the dead of winter, this will be a fun night." Ogami said smiling sinisterly, his eyes dialated from the moons light, an when they returned to normal, there were wolf eyes, claws grew fom his fingers, a tail and wolf ear started to grow. His eyes still fixed on the moon, as if he were enchanted by its beautiful light.
"Bring it on Lune, i'll fight your power anytime of the night, even in dead twilight, within the shadows." Ogami said resisting the forced transformation.
"OGAMI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! You know you shouldn't be in the moonlight, you know what happene if you do!" Kasumi said thrusing open the door, and running towards Ogami, interupting his fixed gaze on the moon. "I dont want you to turn into it again, please Ogami, please." Kasumi said wrapping her arms around Ogami and crying.

It was Nobilis who first stirred, snapping Aki out of her state of sleep. She lay her hand on his, pooling chakra to his side, and then removed his bandages.
"Good to see you healed well." she muttered, stroking the crown of his head. He crooned and beat his wings, fluttering down to a lower branch. Aki moved after him, ready to get going soon. She grimaced when she put weight on her bad leg, teeth grit in frustration.
"Not now..." she growled, fist tightening in anger, "Not when we're so far from Konoha... damnit!"

Ryu opened his eyes and sighed. "I guess I didn't expect to sleep. Not yet." He hopped down, and walked out of his room, closing the door. He went into the front room, and waited for Aki.

Letting out a large yawn, Aki slipped out of the room, holding out her arm for her avian companion to land on. She made her way down the hallway, eyes lazily looking to where she was going.
"Get any sleep?" she questioned Ryu, head tilting to the side.

Aki chuckled lightly. She glanced to the door, which was slightly ajar, letting in a draft of cold air. She could hear voices out there, speaking in hushed tones.
"'Ey, where's Ogami, anyway?" she suddenly questioned, eyes fixed on the door.

"He went outside to stare at the moon. I would have interjected, but I figured I would give him some time alone with Kasumi. She could do more good than I could."

Once they had arrived, Yuki had immediatly gone into an abandoned part of the house and locked- or rather, frozen- herself in. There she stayed until she felt the beginnings of morning light outside. A pang of hunger rippling thorugh her body, she forced herself up from the icy floor and walked out, dark wrinkles under her eyes the only things showing her lack of sleep.
As she spotted Ryu and Aki, her vision began to swim and become tinted with red. Clenching her fists, she resisted the bloodlust and managed a hoarse "Hello."

Ogami and Kasumi were still outside in the blistering cold, Kasumi suffering from Hypothermia, and Ogami still gazing at the dimming moon, still resisting the change, with sher will.
"O...gami, please stop..." Kasumi quietly said as her body temperature continued to rapidly drop. Her lips were blue and her skin was begining to blacken from frostbite.

"All right, I say we go now." Ryu left, and noticed Ogami standing there and then noticed Kasumi. "Kasumi!" He rushed over. "She needs heat now." Ryu made a few hand signs, and ignited his hands, holding them close to her body.

Kasumi's skin began to warm-up. But her grasp was still stiff, luckily her long sleeves prevented her hands from complete frostbite. Her voice was lower than a whisper as she began to slip from the corperal realm.
"O...Gam...i. I... Were Kasumi's last words before she fell unconsious.

Ryu picked her up, and took her inside laying her on a couch. He then created a small fire dragon to warm her up as he went back outside. "Ogami, whats wrong with you?"

What am i doing? You see the moon anlso plays a key role within my Birthmark, it determines when the birthmark'smpower is at its peak, and when its weakest. Full Moon's prvide it with the strongest force, causing me to change unwillingly. Although,Recently i've een able to fight it off, Kasumi worries too much about me, ecause she loves me."
