((XD Don't worry. I'm at a lose of what to do until there's a sign of Enigma.))
Aphrodite got up sometime after Kuoni fell asleep and left to freshen up. She made her way back to the couch in fresh clothes and took a nap herself.
Vipin watched as Kuoni fell asleep and thought about who would be best to help Kuoni find grandpa.

Kuoni woke slowly, her mind thick. It mixed things from before and after her return to the mansion. 'Where am I? This isn't the cave. Did someone take my things? Did someone take me?! Maybe momma brought me home. But wouldn't she put me into a bed. This is hard. Gawd! Mikey took me away to kill me!' She woke with a yelp of panic caught in her throat. She looked around with wide eyes and swallowed her scream. She was safely in her mother's cabin. She sighed and laid her head down onto her paws. She had simply fallen asleep. She also remembered her next mission. 'Go find daddy.'
She stood and weaved slightly from dizziness and something feeling off balance. She looked at herself in a mirror in the hall. Her tummy was a bit bigger than when she had arrived at the mansion. "Ooh..." She sighed, turned to the room. She spotted Aphrodite asleep on the couch, looking cleaned up. Should she wake her?

Not too far from where Kuoni was in the hall, voices could be heard in the kitchen. One sounded quite angry and the other.... well there was nothing to it at all. "We shouldn't still be here! I don't care what you saw we should leave! We don't belong in the cabin." One of the voices yelled. The other voice said something very softly and couldn't be heard in the hall. "Dammit! Why do I have to be stuck watching you right now?! Why can't Roxas do his job and watch you?!" The first voice yelled.
*note Vipin went into the moonlits room shortly after Kuoni woke up to see if he could find someone*

Kuoni was about to wake Aphrodite when she heard a voice down the hall. 'What is that all about??' Her curiosity piqued, Kuoni padded carefully down the hallway, pausing a few feet away from the door that the voice was coming from. She looked back the way she had come. That voice was angry, maybe she should wake the anthro now... But it wasn't her place to interfere. If she accidently overheard... that was a different matter. She stood in her spot, trying to figure out what had the voice so upset.

Since Kuoni was closer she could now hear someone pacing back and forth and an occasional cabinet door opening and closing. "Okay. I think this should be enough. Why did you talk me into this?" The first voice said, "I can't believe I listened.... Okay we're leaving now! Nothing is going to change my mind." A door could be heard opening from in the kitchen and a soft voice speaking up suddenly. "She's here. Let her in." The second voice said, "She needs to see." A grumbling noise could be heard followed by a door being slammed shut. Then someone was stomping across the floor and the kitchen door was ripped open (it's not broken thankfully). Kurogane stood in the door frame glaring down at Kuoni. "She's the one you need to talk to?! Whatever." He said. He then grabbed Kuoni by her neck and hauled her into the kitchen. "Make it quick Kanna." Kanna nodded and held out her mirror. "Look. You will see someone dear to you." She said, "You'll be able to find him then." Soon an image began to appear in the mirror showing Kuoni....
((And here's where you come in Corny! Tell us the image! XD))

Kuoni frowned. She? Did that make three in there? She realized too late that the stomping was coming toward her. She looked up with startled yet curious eyes at a big mean looking anthro. She yelped as she was grabbed less than gently and pulled into the kitchen. How had they known she was there?! She growled at the anthro holding her neck until she spotted the white female anthro. Something was... odd about that one. It was unsettling. Kuoni clamped her mouth shut.
Look in the mirror? If it would let her go easily... she peeked in. She saw herself for a half second, then it started to fade. The image replacing it was of a small pond in some thick woods. She recognized that area. So? And she saw- daddy! Err- daddy? Kuoni squinted at the mirror. Enigma was taking a drink, looking tired, thin, and unkempt. Fur dirty and tangled, face as drawn and sad as when she had first seen Fiorenza. Kuoni gasped and jumped back, eyes wide and sorrowful. What had she done to her parents? She bit her lip and looked at the female anthro with the mirror. "What is this? Why are you showing me?"

"What is happening right now to him." Kanna said in her emotionless voice, "You needed to see or you would have not found him." She turned away and headed for the door. The image in the mirror was already gone.
Kurogane shook his head at Kanna. "I'll never get her." He said looking down at Kuoni, "That was Kanna and I'm Kurogane. You better go find whoever it is you saw in the mirror." With that he grabbed a bag and walked out the door with Kanna. "Go check out the moonlits room and see if there's anyone there who can help you. You shouldn't be out in the woods alone in your condition." He called before leaving into the woods.

Kuoni stood still. 'But why do you care if I find him?' She shook her head. Why did it matter? Any help was still help. "Thank you! So much!" She called to the retreating figures. She spun and ran back to Aphrodite, fighting down a wave of nausea from the sudden fast movement.
"Aphrodite! Aphrodite! I know where he is!" She yelled, pawing at the anthro's feet.

Aphrodite swatted at Kuoni and rolled over. She continued to sleep through Kuoni's yelling.
Vipin walked out of the moonlits room with a smile on his face. "Kuoni! Shh! Let her sleep." He hissed trying to be quiet, "Come here. I think I found someone to help you look for your dad." He waved for her to follow him into the moonlits room.

Kuoni flicked her ears back, looking at Aphrodite sleep. "Thanks for your help, dear friend." She whispered with a small smile. Then she turned and followed quietly after Vipin, her excitement about learning her dad wasn't too far away being quickly replaced by worry from the sight of him. And already, nervousness at meeting him was picking at her mind. She walked into the room after her cousin (oops!) nephew. Who had he found? She wondered.

Vipin pointed to a white female with a little bit of blue on her. "Lux will be able to help you as you look for Grandpa." He said, "Lux this is my Aunt Kuoni.... the one I was telling you about. Kuoni this is Lux. She's a bit of a dare devil and has been itching to get outside. So she said she would go with you."
Lux looked at Kuoni and nodded. "Hi there Kuoni." She said, "I'll help you look for your dad if you want. Or if you'd rather wait until Sakura comes back she can help you. Sakura is another anthro who lives here. She can be really helpful out in the woods."
((I feel like I'm setting up a Choose Your Own Adventure book/story for Kuoni. XD))

eek Lux?!?! xd
Yay books!
Kuoni nodded to Lux, then shook her head. "I appreciate you helping me, but I can't wait for anyone else. Someone came to help. I know where he is right now, but he probably won't sit there for long. We need to get going now."
She turned to Vipin, still needing a bit of effort to speak the words to him. "Thank you for finding her." Gah! that felt weird! But still right.
She nodded to Lux again. "Lets go." She headed through the cabin and outside, pausing on the porch to gain her bearings.

I love throwing in twists! XD
Vipin nodded. "No problem." He said waving goodbye.
Lux nodded. "I was just checking." She said racing after Kuoni, "So you know where he is..... Well which way?" She certainly hoped it wasn't near the dead woods where Agrona and all of them lived.

Kuoni frowned. "I believe it's this way." She said, heading to the forward left from the cabin.
She looked back at Lux. "Really, thanks for helping. But-" She sighed. "I don't know how daddy will react when we find him, so feel free to leave when we do reach him. Or anytime really..."
((I don't know which way the dead woods are!))

Lux nodded and followed Kuoni. "I'll give you and your dad some space but I won't leave entirely. These woods aren't safe anymore. There are too many evil moonlits out here." She said, "And you don't look like you'll be able to defend yourself right now." She looked at Kuoni swollen belly.
((Well they are heading in the direction of the dead woods but they have a long ways to go before they reach it. If you look on my map in my journal you'll see how the left side of the map just has woods and a couple of caves before it cuts off.... well the dead woods is just beyond that.))
