Mint hovered around her brother and Sakura. "I-is she alright?" Mara asked fearfully. She would be patient about her question. She was sure that in time Gouki would answer her.

Gouki was trying to stay calm. Maybe this was not the right time to go off and discover if Mara's mother really was alive. What if she took Mara away from him? How could Gouki help save Sakura without Mara? Gouki's mind reeled as he attempted to come up with an answer.
"Y-yeah..she is fine for now but we need to find the headdress Mara." Gouki said barely audibly as he clenched his fist. Gouki effectively took Sakura in as a part of his family. How could he put her life in danger.

One of Toki's reptilian eyes flicked opened at the sound of Sakura's drowning. The cold slit of his pupil rested on Gouki. "This head-cloth," He began a small whisper, "It is more important than the cat-child's family?" He changed into his dragon shape, his clawed feet resting on the tree limbs. Curling down towards Gouki, Mara and Sakura, he said, "I will help, as long as... there is no killing."

Mara nodded in understanding. "Sister comes first." She agreed. She looked over at Toki. "How do you know they are my family?" She asked, "Gouki is my brother, he always has been, as long as I can remember." She told Toki. "Goodness I hope there are no deaths."

Kyoji smiled broadly. "No, thanks. The soup is just about ready to serve. I'll give it another stir." He said as he performed the indicated action. Kyoji smiled and looked into Cho's eyes for a moment. "How are you feeling? Did you rest well?" He asked.

Cho streatched and smiled. "I am wonderful." She told him, "Thank you, and I did rest wonderfully, I wish you had been able to sleep though." Cho looked at her sleeping daughter and shook her gently. "Ayaka, Ayaka please wake up." She said holding her daughter up.
Ayaka opened her eyes. "Good morning mommy." She said happily. She looked over at Kyoji. "Good morning Kyoji-san."

"I have not seen many people with cat's ears," Toki started to say, then glanced over at the noon time sun. His claws flexed, and he walked in a serpentine manner to the pasture with the cows. One of the cows from earlier recognized him, and mooed loudly. "I disagree. I think, I will find a herd like yours too someday."

"Well good morning little Ayaka-chan." Kyoji said with a smile. Kyoji smiled up at Cho. "Do not worry for my rest. I meditated for awhile, but your concern is appreciated." He said. "I think the stew is just about ready." He said as he laid out the bowls, and ladled some into each. "Here, let them cool for a bit. The stew is very hot." He said offering a bowl for Cho and another for Ayaka.

Cho watched Kyoji with a strange smile for a moment, he was amazing. She thanked him accepting the warm bowl of soup. Their hands touched for the briefest moment. Her heart spurred into a run of beats. "It smells wonderful Kyoji." She said smelling it and bowing gently to cool it.
"Thank you for the worry Kyoji-san!" Ayaka cried happily taking the bowl and doing the same as her mother.

"Thank you." Kyoji said with a small bow. "It probably smells better than it tastes... I'm not much of a cook." He said with a chuckle and a slight blush. Kyoji felt an elating sensation when his hand briefly touched Cho's. "There's plenty." He said before blowing on his stew, holding the bowl in one hand.

“The temple…I believe is abandoned by now…” Sakura was exhausted now from the attack. Her eyes rested on Mara and Gouki before trying to crane her head to look at Toki. She was not afraid of him, but it was clear she was too tired to move.

Cho sipped at it and smiled. "It is wonderful Kyoji, you don't have to worry about that." She said eating more of it. "Thank you very much for making breakfast, that is very kind." Cho said blushing.
Ayaka nodded, "It is very good." She said eating happily.
Mara nodded. "How far away is this temple?"

“I don’t know.” Sakura answered honestly as she laid there. Her eyes looked at Mara gently as she touched her cheek before finally touching Gouki’s as well to ease his fears at least a little. Sakura on the other hand knew that she was in trouble bodily something was going on within and she couldn’t place her fingers on it.

Alright then lets get moving Gouki said as he put the heavy backpack upon his shoulders. Gouki allowed himself to smile to both girls as though to reassure them. Internally he tried not to panic and knew after a little rest they should be on their way anyway.
"Life is more important then stories of possible relatives. We are a family Toki and if you choose to follow then that's fine but I can not guarantee anything with the way the world is today.

(( You guys noticed how I went to a cow pasture, right? Or are you following me around? Dx ))
Toki changed into his human shape, thinking silently on the concept of a family. He blocked the sun from his eyes with a hand on his forehead. Family... family... I will find a family, my friends. A slightly haunted expression formed on his face, and he sighed.
