Dannin keeps her unimotional mask while Shadowsage speaks, then turns to Tusuki herself.
"If she is right, then allies would be a swift action. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, you taught me that."
---------------
Ryo smiles at the "big kitty" comment, glancing at White Blaze who had been sleeping this whole time (thanks, I forgot to post about him).
"Looks like we'd better pack," he says.

"Indeed," Tusuki said to Dannin, "and yet I am weary. Shadowsage Hopesong, I would like more details of this enemy you speak of and what 'peace' requires although I am douptful that you would give me many details about this enemy you speak of.
"As for the peace, I will not tell you my intentions for the Ronins or the mortal realm, but they would be eliminated if either would be disposed of. I would rather carry out my plans than to see them and I disposed of. If you are willing to give me more details, I might be willing to cooperate long enough to eliminate this threat, but I will not guarantee a second longer than that.
Concerning the bearer of the Hoarfrost, I will keep your words in mind, but I have a need of her. What all that entails I will not share with you, but my plans for her may be changed if this enemy you speak of is as powerful as what you imply. All of this depends on your answer."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Yuki was staring at the five women surrounding her. The only one to introduce herself had been this, Aiko. She desperately wanted to know more about the others as well. "I assume now that I may be working on your side you are going to tell me more about yourselves."
"I am Chika, and I don't like you," said a dark haired woman that came face-to-face with Yuki. "Don't think just because you were reincarnated that you can out rank any of us in here; I won't have you over-jumping any of us."
"I will keep that in mind," Yuki answered obviously not intimidated by the woman at all.
"I'm Suki," said a different dark-haired female rather nonchalantly. This one had blue eyes whereas Chika had brown.
"I am Kumiko," said the dark haired woman that looked like Tusuki. "I am Tusuki's horribly plain daughter."
"This is Misa," Aiko said pointing to a white-haired woman leaning in the doorway. "She doesn't like to talk."
"Well," Yuki said puting her back to a wall where sh could see all of them. "what all does this 'club' entail?"
((Hey, Shade. I understand that you might not want to give all the details about the enemy in the RPG so you don't have to if you don't want to, but Tusuki will need to know. I can just assume that she knows that way you don't even have to tell me if you don't want to.))

She sighed. (if yopu know the narutoi seriesz, picture Kakashi with the sigh and round eyes)
"Mattaku."
A pause and she spoke.
"Sadly, there's not much to tell. She owns a number of highly skilled assassins, and her goal is to suck every realm she comes across into the Void, that which is nothingness. I know her assassins are probably targeting me, because she and I have crossed paths several times before, and of she isn't coming after me, she will be coming after you, because you are as strong as you are. I won't say her name, since it will draw her here if I do."
A pause.
"Her weakest assassin could easily defeat even the ronin's inferno armor in open combat, even as it stands now. All I would ask for as far as a peace treaty is concerned is time for me to stregnthen them, and time for me to find a way to stregnthen you and yours. A truce, until she that is of the void is taken care of, and a week after. That is all. To ask you to actually help would be a bit presumptuous."

"The Void?!" Tusuki questioned as she stood up. She didn't like the sound of that. "No indeed, a truce I grant you as well as use of my warladies althought they do come with certain conditions. They are still under me and will remain loyal to me; keep that in mind. Also, I would like them to have as little interaction with the Ronins and their friends as possible unless it is battle oriented.
"Concerning the bearer of the Hoarfrost, if you will wait for a moment or two, I may just send her back with you."
Tusuki called Dannin closer and whispered to her, "I want you to have the bearer of the Hoarfrost join you in keeping an eye on the Ronins and what all that Shadowsage instructs of them; however, if you think that she may betray me, leave her here. If you take her with you, I want the both of you to return here as often as you can without arrising suspition to report back to me and help with the training of the others. If you find that the others are still talking with the bearer of the Hoarfrost, kick them out. I would like to have them know as little as possible about Hoarfrost's and your own doings. Please return to me once you know the Hoarfrost's position on the matter. I will not lie to you, Dannin. The void scares me as does this person Shadowsage is refuring to if we are thinking of the same person."

She bows respectfully.
"Thankyou. I can understand your requests, and see no reason why they should be compromised at all. If you would like, I would be happy to cover for Dannin as a liason between us."
She produced a small, egg-shaped stone that was a deep blue that glimmered like a night sky (blue goldstone if anyone cares to look it up) on the floor betwee them.
"If you wish to contact me, hold this and call my name. Wherever I am, whatever I am doing, I will hear it. I will also be able to come to wherever that stone is, if a meeting is needed. Consider it a gift of good faith."
A pause.
"I'm meeting the ronins in Hawk's Cay, I'm hoping to make that our base of operations for a while. Please be discreet if you send a messenger. They do not know I came to you to make an alliance, nor do they yet know of she who is of the Void- I was going to tell them once they had arrived. If you are willing to let me meet your various warladies at a later date, I will see what I can find to stregnthen them, though it may be very hard, since I have niot had time to research their armors yet."
Another formal bow.
"Thankyou for your time."
Shadowsage stepped back through a portal that formed behind her, and was gone, leaving the stone egg behind.

Dannin nodds, bows, and leaves, walking to where the warladies were keeping Yuki. She walks in just after the intros and the like. She folds her arms across her chest, the little bit of light glinting off her sub-armor.
"Tusuki calls," she says, "and has set me with this child's wellfare. Off with you, I have business with the child."
She waives a hand, as if she is expecting to be obeyed without question. Though with her long absence, she knows the chances of that aren't too good.

All of the others except Chika looked at Aiko. As Chika stepped forward to say something to Dannin, Aiko stepped infront of her and whispered something in her ear. Chika threw one glance at Dannin and disappeared with the others.
"Well, that was uneventful," Yuki said as she sat down in one of the chairs in the room. "I see that you did not heed my warning. I knew that they would come after me sooner or later. Even still, it is good to have a friend with you when you are on the other side. What news? What is going on? What do you think we should do?"

Dannin keeps her stone face, then slumps down next to Yuki.
"You're in trouble, and if I'm not careful, I will be too," she says, "I need you to play along with my plan for a while if it's going to work. There is a threat, greater than Tusuki, comming. She has agreed to a truce for the time being and sent me to watch over you, make sure you won't betray her, and watch the Ronins once again. This won't be easy, especially if she gets wind of my plan."
And with that, Dannin stood, "But that's all I can say here." She holds out her hand, "you up for some play-acting?"

Dannin hoists Yuiki to her feet.
"We'll be heading out in a few," she says, "stick with me."

"Not a problem," Yuki said as she fixed her appearance. "I assume we are stopping in to see Tusuki, corect? Anything you want me to say or do while we are there?"

"Be very quiet and still. You can follow my lead if you want, I was a really angry warlady," Dannin says, "but whatever you do, do not speak unless spoken to, keep your answer short. That way she won't catch onto us."
And with that, Dannin leads the way back to the throneroom.

Yuki followed Dannin's instructions once she entered the throne room and remained quiet.
"Well, well," Tusuki said as she looked at Dannin and Yuki but was only talking to Dannin, "I am glad that you seem to think she will be loyal to me. I have no fear that even if she should intend to betray me that you would bring her back here. I will let you fill her in on the few details she will need to know once you get into the mortal world, but the less she knows the more at ease I will be. Report back as soon as you can Dani and please let Shadowsage know that any time that she is really to meet the others, she is welcome to come back."

Dannin bows slowly, "As you will it M'Lady."
She puts a hand on Yuki's shoulder. The two are encased in shadow, then they appear in an ally not far from Dannin and Ryo's home. Dannin's subarmor fades and she breaths a sigh of relief.
"I can feel Ryo's armor," she says, "they're here somewhere. Sorry I couldn't take you home Yuki-chan."
EDIT: made it so they don't have to run to the airport...sorry about this.

Anubis twitched when Shade stepped free of a portal directly in front of him. She was in Clan robes, like she was when she dragged him from where he believed he was dead.
Apparently, the Ancient's ghost had wanted more of the ex-warlord of Cruelty/warrior of Loyalty.
Shade appeared minutes before Kayura.
(insert story not to be gone into except perhaps in flashbacks because I'm too busy to write it now here)
Kayura smiled and dissparared back to whence she came, Anubis, sitting on the ground from repeated shocks, was staring at Shade, who chose that moment to prove the informtion by henshining into her black-on-black subarmor, and lean her scimitars against the nearby wall.
Her silver eyes were kitty-slit, giving her face a reptillian aura about it.
"Well, Anubis, is it really that surprising, considering what5 I did to bring you here?"
"What you did to get me here was pure magic, like I'd've expected of you, but this-?!?!"
"On the bright side, nobody has to carry you around this time."
"T e m e . . ."
"Now now, there's no need to get angry at me. Oh, shoot!"
She took off, henshining into street clothes before she had gone two steps, the loose black cargo pants and fitted t-shirt seeming to go well wiht her innate grace, despite her bare feet.
********************************************
An airline official was arguing with one of the three custodians of the place on speakerphone when she reached the office, said custodian soprting through a pile of paperwork concerning the tempry helf they were having for a day or two.
"I know we have a no-flight rule. That's why those nine have a special clearance from the owner of Hawk's Cay."
"Is she there then, so I could verify it? I've put the bookings on hold, and there's a call to the agent who booked them going through right now to inform her abut the change."
"Of course she's not here to verify it, she comes and goes as she pleases, and none of us knows how, she told me to expect her back in a few days."
Shade cleared her throat, and the custodian turned.
"Who's th- ah I mean hello, Mil-"
"Oh for crying out loud how many times have I told you to call me Shade. I assume that's someone from the local airport?"
"Yes, ma'm." answered the voice on the phone.
"Good. The verification code is 1985, the password is compassion. That should allow the flights."
There was the sound of keys flying, and the voice on the phone chimed in.
"Ah... yes ma'm. The flights will be allowed. We will inform the agent that the cancellation has been declined, and that we will allow the booking of the flights."
Shade hit the off button, and smiled at the custodian.
"You have until tomorrow to get this place in the condition I left it. Good day."
**********************************************************
Shade sighed as she got back to the small cottage that was always kept in perfect condition, where she had left Anubis. The poor redhead was seated on the couch inside.
"Looks like I still have a lot to do. What was it you wanted to ask me before I left? We have time to talk now."
(time for y'all to get on the plane.)
