The sky...

Masato Tanaka
Go Shikigami!  Masato held on to Hotaru, the vast power that she held soon envelop his own body. Strangely, he felt her power coursing through him swiftly without delay of his own touch. What's happening to me? Her own strength in power wasn't something he would expect. What would happen to him now? Would he die from his foolish action to help her? If he were to die, then he wouldn't be able to see his parents anymore. He closed his eyes with her power seeping into him.
It wasn't long till her power faded from both of them, it couldn't feel it anymore for it had subsided from within him as well. Looking at Hotaru, she had undergo a complete change than from her previous form. She stirred and lift herself up holding onto his arm as a crutch. At every angle, no sign of yokai was on her, but all human. Watching her as she took part of exploring everything that is her. Masato couldn't put a finger to what's going on for this to happen. Breaking his train of thought, Hotaru piped up as she spoke to herself then turned towards him that even he couldn't help to react. Beads of tears had rose upon her face as she spoke the same words again, his heart slowing down from her expression. He couldn't help to see a girl cry, it wasn't in him to watch. There was no need to fiddle with his pockets, he had no mirror in his possession. He could use his cellphone as a reflective source, but the screen was a bit tinted. He looked at Kino and back at Hotaru, there was no choice unless Kino had a mirror. He took out his cellphone and quickly flipped it open, turned off to conserve power. "I don't have a mirror, but this is you." He showed her the device, upon the surface showed her new change of face.Location - Kaede's Village

 Feeling Masato lunge against her own body, Hotaru groaned. She could feel him holding her. Gasping for breath she felt her miko power slowly enveloping him and her. He would feel power almost dripping into his very veins. Had Inuyasha and the others been around, they would have found that her power was as great as Kagome's. Sweat rolled down her face. As her power began to die down, she clutched Masato's arm. No longer changing, she forced herself to sit up. She began to inspect herself. She had once seen a painting of her grandmother. So far from what she could see, she looked exactly like her grandmother. "I need to see..." Her hand came up to her throat. It was softer but rougher. Looking back at Masato, tears lingered in her eyes. "I need to see." She had become human. Now that Kyuub was back, would his poison cause this affect everytime? As long as the poison lingered, she would probably remain human. The town would have to be purified. She tried to stand but her balance was off and she fell back to her feet. She now had a far more healthy appearance than she did before.

Hotaru looked at the strange device that Masato handed her. Shrugging, although she was very curious about it, she licked her lips nervously. Looking into it, she couldn't see much as the hut was dark but as she moved more into the sunlight, a gasp lodged itself in her throat. She was indeed human. Almost everything about her human features was like her Grandmothers. Minus her eyes. The strange mirror dropped from her hands to the ground in shock.
Looking up at Kino, she felt tears welling up again. "I'm... human..." There was no hatred there. Nor was there any acceptance. Dropping her head, she stared at her hands. Her clothing was already threatening to fall off her body since she was now smaller. A shoulder came off to expose the are skin underneath. It was here the the Shadow Dragon rested, like a tattoo. A part of the chain she wore also peeked through, glittering. Her hands clenched. "Kyuub... he did this... The village must be purified..." Her voice was soft bbut the emotions of hatred were beginning to seep into her words.

Masato Tanaka
Go Shikigami! Masato watched patiently, with the phone in her hands that hopefully she didn't break it. As she held his phone with delicate hands, peeking through it was difficult without some lighting. She turned her back at them and walked off, getting as much light as possible to see her reflection clearly. He stood there watching Hotaru move out of the hut, her dress didn't seem to fit like it used to. He gave a few steps to the outside and faced a different direction towards the villagers at work. His eyes lit up at the sound of an object dropping nearby. He was afraid that it wasn't what he thought it was. He only knew one object that would make such slam to the ground. Turning his gaze to Hotaru while following it down to what laid was his cell phone. He sighed, he didn't want his phone to break since he needed it the most. He did understand much of the dropping, but she should have been more careful of another person's possessions. One drop wouldn't destroy it, but made it prone to work less of its performance.
He looked at Hotaru, her face turning to Kino with the same tears that build up like she was going to cry. Her attire was coming off from her shrinking of her body size. His mind had to stay out of all places, otherwise his thoughts would randomly pick out inappropriate things less intended. Halting his thoughts were next to impossible, he would have to act now than wait just to stare. He took off his jacket and walked closely to her, wrapping around her shoulders to stay clothed, he didn't care if his jacket were to fall to the ground. He bent down to retrieve his phone, dusting off the dirt that covered on the surface. With his phone stored in his pockets, she spoke softly to purify the village. "How are we going to do that?" He asked. His Shikigami wandered around aimlessly on alert, not letting themselves afar from Masato. The foxes had sensed the impurity around them that was left from Kyuub's involvement.Location - Kaede's Village

Hotaru jumped a little when she felt the clothing touch her shoulders. Turning, she looked up at Masato, her eyes wide and if one were to look close, vulnerable. Pulling the jacket around her shoulders, her fingers brushed Masato's as he pulled away to retrieve the strange device. Looking down, a blush lightened her cheeks. "Thank you Masato." As she watched him dust off the phone, she looked around.
Turning back to him, she shrugged a little. "We will have need of someone with strong spiritual powers. I... I never was able to learn to control mine as it was out of my reach. In my normal form... I am very vulnerable to spiritual power. A small amount could kill me." Hotaru held up a hand while the other held the jacket tightly. "I seem to have spiritual power but have no way of controlling it. I suppose through you shikigami you could purify the village. Merely make it a directive to do so. As they are made of spiritual energy, that should be enough. If not, the priest will arrive the moment the shadows find him."
She was having a hard time with the jacket at the moment. As she moved back toward the hut, she grunted softly. This strange clothing was infuriating her. She felt a lot more emotional as a human and that in itself was upsetting her. Leaning against the wall of the hut, she slid down so that she could rest her chin on her knees. Sighing, she glanced back up at Masato. Everything about her was like being an innocent child. "I'm sorry about your contraption..." Dropping her chin once more, she sniffed, feeling as though her tears would drop at any given moment. Where were the others? Could they know what was happening? Or even how to fix it?

Masato Tanaka
Go Shikigami! Hotaru's face that turned away made him wonder what was on her mind. "Your welcome." However, responding back seemed to change her composure though her response seemed to lead him with an edgy thought. Him performing the purity of the village must be a lot of work. Not that he doubt or was confident of his abilities, but upon observation that led him to certain questions. How far did the impurity expanded to cause Hotaru to be in this state. Would she return to normal if he had some work on this? Having the priest here would be a better option, but a head start never hurts. Hotaru couldn't even perform her spiritual abilities, she wasn't used to do this kind of thing. When she suggested the Shikigami though, that give him an idea. Looking across the field of dirt, the foxes were sniffing the area about. Giving a small whistle, their ears perked and came rushing to Masato's call. Well this was a first for him to call them at notice, he towered over them and in return stared back waiting for some command. "Go search how far this village has been affected." At a split moment, they dashed off from different points of the village at their Master's order.
He would have to see how he would be able to perform such a feat like this, it may be even the first time to use his powers like this. If he knew that he had control over it that is, knowing that a task like this should take time. It wouldn't hurt to try right? Thinking positive should help him get his mind straight to their objective. He was distracted from Hotaru's voice, looking back at her as she apologized, "It's alright, I think anyone would be shocked if a change would happen to them." Not like he experienced that kind of shock to drop objects, he may eventually do it someday too. His eyebrows rose, hearing the sound of a woman, who had turned to something less or more than she was, that may cry at any moment. He came up to her and crouched down, looking at Hotaru. She need some comfort by the looks of it, hopefully that his talk would do something, at least a little. "It's going to be okay, I'm sure this can be fixed." Nit-picking his words was tough enough while he spoke. Just her expression had come with a conclusion in mind, he hadn't done this before though he would do it. He ruffled through his hair, his eyes shifted away from her before coming back to her. "If you need to cry, I can lend you a shoulder." Holding tears back didn't seem healthy or that's what he learned back at home. Examining her struggle of movement, he looked at her questioningly. "Is my jacket uncomfortable?" Was she not used to having something like this?Location - Kaede's Village

Barely noticing the antics of the foxes, Hotaru was lost in her own mind. She was human. She didn't even know how to be human. A part of her wanted to become youkai again. She wanted to feel normal again. This wasn't normal for her. How had her mother and grandmother dealt with this scenario. If the others arrived, only those that had lived back in the time of her grandmother would even see the resemblance. Her nails on her right hand were digging in to her knee. They weren't causing damaged like the usually would and it actually hurt with how hard she was digging into her knee. What was she going to do? As far as she knew, as long as the poison resided, she would be unable to return to her true form. Why was it that her mother had had a human night that was based on the moon while she was forced to have a human night because of the poison. Mentally, a cruel laugh echoed in her mind. Technically it wasn't a human night. After all it was still during the day.
Her face rose to the sun and she squinted up at it. Human eyes was very inferior to her own normal sight. Everything seemed to be muted to her. The sounds around her had dimmed so that she couldn't hear very well. She couldn't see as far as she used to. Even her sense of smell was pretty much gone. She couldn't smell the grass under her. She couldn't smell the wonderful floral scent of Kino. She felt the fox move to sit next to her and awkwardly pat her back. It was to be expected that Kino would really have no idea what to do in this matter. After a couple moments, she felt Kino rise up and move away. As she left, Hotaru turned to look at Masato.
With new eyes she stared at him. He really was pretty cute for a human. Suddenly her stomach shifted. Shaking her head, she forced the thoughts away. She wanted to be back to normal. That was all. If the curse was as strong as it used to be, if she mated a human, she would become human. A sudden thought came to her. If she mated with a hanyou, would she become a hanyou? A bit of a smile formed at the thought.
Shifting the coat once more, she looked down, her eyes returning sad once more. At that moment, Masato was there. It was as if he had heard her depressing thoughts. A sad smile made its way to her lips. "Yes, I suppose." Shaking her head at his offer, she hesitantly brushed his cheek with her hand. "Thank you but I'll be fine. I've never been one to cry and just because I'm human doesn't really mean that its changed much." Dropping her hand from his cheek, she shifted the coat again. She could feel her kimono slipping a little farther down her shoulder. Standing, she blushed at his question. "I don't really know how to keep this 'jack eet' on. There is no clip on the front to keep it closed. As she looked down at the object, her hair softly slide over her shoulder. Looking up at Masato, she forced a smile. "Perhaps we should go see about finding a kimono that will fit me for the time being."

 ¤ Youko Kurama •Where?: Kaede's Village
•Who?: people
•What?: Makes Safe the Village
•Mine?: A wide variety of herbs and Mekai plants "You should never corner an animal such as a fox...we have a tendency to show our fangs" ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇ In the time it took while Lady Hotaru had returned to the village and seemed to have fallen ill, and the others spoke with her. Youko had followed Inuyasha's trail to the edge of the territory then began marking the edges as his own by leaving trails of his youki in his wake. Any stray demon he scented within the area he rooted out and killed instantly. He planted some of his Mekai plants here and there to act as sentinels to kill anything that comes within the area. He may have to remove the plants later when Inuyasha returns from his mission. One of things he made sure of is that neither of those two strangers are still in the area, if they were then he would have confronted them himself. But, all in all, it took him perhaps an hour or so to patrol the entire area and leave traces of his vast youki behind. He has killed any and all demon within the territory and left game alone. Accept for maybe a couple of rabbits he shot down and ate as he walked.
As he returned to the village he began to pick up a twisted scent in the air in the village. He is very partial to venom, poisons because of the mekai plants and herbs he works with, his demon form can detect acids, poisons, and venom sooner and quicker the most any other kind of demons, this skill helped him to detect traps in jobs while he was the greatest thief back in the day. He narrowed his eyes and took in a stronger whiff to detect the type of poison in the air. It is a dampening agent. it would feed on human life forces and demonic energy to weaken demons. Must like a ninja trick. He could already detect the scents of dying men and women who have succumbed to the agent. No matter, it will be swept out of the area. Perhaps most of it will be, traces of it may still linger but he can remove the majority of the poison.
Kurama made his way to the center of the village, he brushed his claws through his long sleek silver hair to remove a seed to a specific mekai plant that he is after. This plant can be used both offensively and defensively. It will feed off of the dead to bloom and when it releases an immense cloud of spores it also releases its own level of poison up into the air. Judging by the scent of his agent, Youko can guess that its potency will match the potency of this mekai rose bush. They will therefore mix and cancel each other out. Of course just one of these plants couldn't remove the amount that has spread through out the village...not without a little help from him. Kurama went to the line of dead, he found that there were some bandits in the line of dead, a few that got foolishly snared in the earlier battle. No one will miss them.
He took the 3 bandits back to the center of the town and piled them one on top of the other. Next he held out his arm and summoned a plant that wrapped around his arm and stiffened out like a blade, a leaf that could cut steel, a plant blade. With this he used it to stab right through all 3 bodies. Then he took the seed and planted it into the hole he made. Now to give it a boost. He held out his other arm and using the leaf blade, he cut open is own flesh and led himself bleed over the corpses and the seed he just planted. He would lick the wound to close it then he would begin to release his youki, at first a little then it blew out from him in a violent burst. black electrical currents arched up skyward over the village and caused winds to blow through the trees and over the village in torredus gales. As this happened the seed sprouted and took root in the first corpse then would begin to bloom as if on fast forward with the aid of his power and his blood. the roots ripping through the corpses and soon consuming them as the bush grew to the height of a man before him. Smaller roses bloomed along the sides of the bush, then at the top one very large rose bloomed, it is the size of 5 human infants in one bundle. The energy that is arcing around expanded over the village. And with it a red haze exploded from the big rose as spores blew up and around Kurama and blew out over the village, leaving behind a strong scent of roses, the plant's poison, mixing and canceling out with Kyuub's poison or most of it.
As the cloud spread and dispersed Yoako raised his gaze to the sky which began to waver and ripple like water, a vast bluish, purple and silver colored Barrier formed far above the village and expanded out like a giant dome over the village and settling in the forest beyond the village on all sides, the edges would merge with the trail of youki he left on the boundaries of Inuyasha's territory. No sooner when this is done, did the winds die down to a gentle breeze and his wild energy faded. The mekai rose bush decorated the center of the village. There are still traces of Kyuub's poison in the air, but it is not as strong as it was before. He looked away from his work, he would have to remain in this form until Inuyasha's return. His human form does not have the power to keep that barrier up. He turned and knew that he had drawn everyone'es eyes with his display of power, he moved towards the group. Speaking first to the old man, "The village is safe now, no vermin will get passed my energy shield. If those others come near and try to break through my sheild, I will know where they are." He would then look around, panning the area for Lady Hotaru, he would much like to know how Inuyasha's group fairs. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇

The sky...
The sea...
There is always a place to be... Izuna!
Masato Tanaka
Go Shikigami! The Shikigami scrambled to the edges of the village, their sense of smell and touch felt the amount of posion that floated around. Kyuub's work must've been a strong poison that was dangerous to human health, but they've found the farthest range it spread. Through the tips of the trees, prancing through the trees as they continue to investigate. Despite not being together, they seem to have some link through their eyesight. Their knowledge transferring to each other. One fox felt a thick presence of demonic aura, wrinkling the whiskers of the spirit. The scent and power they felt, they were familiar to the beasts and their keen glimpse of the yokai who emerged from the forest. Kurama was here, the Shikigami rushed after him while the other returned to Masato. It's ears alert of Kurama's presence that he walked slowly to the village. He had returned, following the footsteps of a yokai who made his way. Going through as he worked with his strength and power, just from the view of his display wouldn't force the animal cringe. Everything seem to subside of his performance, but wherever he went was its chance to escort Kurama to the others. The spirit mewed at the daiyokai, scurrying back to their location. Time of the beast to stop every now and then for their friend to keep up. Their trust in Kurama was just as strong even with the change he expressed.
Masato kept company around Hotaru, her eyes seem to show how vulnerable she had been than back to her original form.The look of innocence, but the shaking of her head seemed to amiss him in thought. Was she rejecting to what he offered for her? She must be a strong woman to withstand her feelings like this. Unexpectedly, her touch upon his cheek made him glance at her soft hands before removing. Seeing her with the jacket, she still couldn't seem to get comfortable still, but getting new clothes would be best. He smiled. "Let's go get one." Where would they find one in a destroyed place? One of his Shikigami returned, barking at Masato. He picked up the fox when he got back standing. As the fox mewed, he blinked once, such strange connection to his Shikigami. "Seems like they found how far, reaching as far as the trees and I guess..." Making a confused expression, trying to understand the creature. "A friend is back?" The fox mewed again though cut of an unpredictable change in the weather. They haven't left yet a storm brewed, but everything was quickly subsided the next. What was that? He didn't dare to ask his Shikigami, most to be left forgotten for now. Understanding these foxes was hard to grasp for him with his no experience in this department.Location - Kaede's Village

Rising to her feet, Hotaru attempted to shake off the the sudden feeling of an intense powerful pressure that fell over her. Shifting, she moved with Masato toward the huts that hadn't been destroyed. As they moved toward the center, Hotaru froze as her gaze landed on a youkai. She blinked in surprise. What was Youko Kurama doing here in this village. Then she remembered. He had been the red head.
As she looked over at him, she felt a blush rush across her cheeks. What the heck was going on with her? She had blushed more today than she had ever blushed in her life. Blinking, she turned to Masato and gave a small smile toward him. Moving forward once more, she watched the old Priestess Kaede step out. Upon seeing her, surprise appeared in her eyes. Then she reentered the hut and appeared moments later with a priestess outfit. Nodding in gratitude, she moved by Masato and Youko and the others, entering the hut. No doubt they were curious about her. After all, she didn't look like the person they once knew. Only those that had gotten a good whiff of her scent from when she was a youkai would figure out it was her.
Entering the hut, Kaede said nothing as she handed her the clothing. "Thank you Lady Kaede." The woman nodded. Dressing in the outfit, she sighed once she finished. Pulling her hair from her the outfit, she looked to Kaede. "What happened child?" Hotaru smiled. "You know who I am then?" "Your aura remains the same Lady Hotaru." Their voices were too soft to be heard outside. Hotaru dropped her head. "It is a part of my curse that I only recently discovered. It can't be broken until the one who placed it dies." Kaede not. "All shall be well. Take this. It shall help contain your spiritual powers." She gently took the small pendant. It had a clear stone for the pendant. Placing it on, she smiled. "Thank you Lady Kaede."
The two stepped back out. Now that she was in a proper fitting outfit, she moved up to Masato and handed him his strange clothing. "Thank you Masato."

㊋Ҝɩɳѻҝɑ Ѧɩɾɩ㊋ Kino, after the strange events with Hotaru, would leave them. She had no clue as to how she could help. Hotaru's spiritual presence was also affecting her. Though both women were youkai, Hotaru's energy did not mix well with Kino's now that she had little control. Fire and shadow can only agree for so long.. Kino had nodded, leaving the hut, and watched from a distance as Masato escorted the changed woman to Kaede's hut. Kino watched the Shikigami as they scurried around the village. She spotted Kurama, in his fully-fledged youkai form. Kino's nose twitched. The entire area smelled like him now. She paused, wondering how her siblings were doing in the realm of darkness. She moved over to Hotaru and Masato, sensing that Hotaru's energy was less potent. A chill went down her spine and the hair on her arms stood on end. "Milady, when is Ryuuk supposed to arrive..?" She waited patiently, her hands clasped together behind her back. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
WITH:Hotaru, Masato|WHERE:Kaede's Village|EMOTION:Wary, Cautious  Shippo smiled and ate happily next to Lori. He tried not to think about what else was happening in the village. But he couldn't stop the worries about Kagome, and whether or not Inuyasha and the others had found her yet. He worried about the new demons, the wolves that had just suddenly shown up and joined the hunting party. Would they turn on Inuyasha and Koga..? I know they were at war with Koga for a while... But it seemed like the mutual disgust with Naraku fixed that... Inuyasha, please hurry.... He tried to push the thoughts from his mind so he could continue to help Lori control the children.

 Lorelai wondered at Shippo's lack of response to her story of how she learned to cook. Most seemed to find it amusing. However, her confusion quickly turned to sympathetic understanding as she noticed the frown and faraway look on Shippo's face. She gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder and smiled. "You're worried about your friends, huh? I didn't get to see much of them, but they seem like a reliable bunch. I'm sure they can take care of themselves. All we can do is trust in your friends and have faith that they'll return safely. I very much want to see Kagome again." Lorelai gave a pout in what she hoped was a comical manner to get Shippo to laugh. "She fell asleep when I was trying to thank her for the rice balls she gave me."

Masato Tanaka
Go Shikigami! Following Hotaru, they reached to the center of the village and amongst the crowd there was a man who stood out more than the others. Kurama was here, he must've finished his errand just now though did he know about this strange storm that came about? Masato continued to follow, being led to one of the huts that still stood. An elderly woman had emerged from the confines of her home. An eye-patch she wore and a first to see who wore garments that didn't share with the other villagers he had seen. Familiar they were, it was something common to his eyes back at home, priestess clothing that they wore at shrines. She retreated back into her hut, curiosity fallen upon him as he waited patiently. Hotaru made her way inside, as privacy stands he would have to stay out. He stood outside the door, looking at Kurama and Kino who were among the small group. He looked at Kurama. "So, I guess we won't run into danger outside the village for now?" He had to ask since he left this morning. He remembered what he had said if he chose to go with him, he erased the thought in mind to fade away. So now what will they do in the mean time? Myoga sat on his shoulder, keeping quiet of his presence.
His other Shikigami had returned, the one in his hands escaped from his clutches to reunite its partner. They mewed and chased each other around that made Masato smile. Footsteps approached, emerging from the hut was Hotaru in her new clothes along with the old priestess. They suit her well, he smiled that they were able to grab something to fit her. What caught his eye was his jacket, she approached to him with the bundle in her arms. Giving them back along with her thanks that he received it back. "Your welcome." Thinking what he wanted to say, he stood there with the smile upon his face. "You look great in them." He set his jacket on, fixing the collar and wrists so he could feel comfortable in them. Masato turn his attention to Kino, he remembered Hotaru saying the same name. He was just wondering about this person as well. He took his moment of silence, he had no further discussion until he nearly forgot about the village. He muttered to himself. "How exactly would I purify this village?" He looked down at his Shikigami and gave a small whistle, they rush back to their master's side. Their eyes drawn to him and he looked at them in wonder. "Do you think you two can purify the village?" They turned their backs and rushed out, Masato assumed they knew what they were doing. One stood not far from them, while the other ran off to another corner of the village. They emitted a strong glow as they passively stood there in position.Location - Kaede's Village

¤ Youko Kurama •Where?: Kaede's Village
•Who?: people
•What?: Figures Hotaru out
•Mine?: A wide variety of herbs and Mekai plants "You should never corner an animal such as a fox...we have a tendency to show our fangs" ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇ Kurama had noticed the fox shikigami that belonged to Masato, they have taken to like him and would frolic around him when he is nearby, one of them had led him to the village before he had done his own ritual of sorts to put up a barrier and to pulverize most of the poison in the air. The Barrier had shifted and faded to a colorless shield, it would crackle like electricity and become visible for the brief time it is touched by anything. When he had scanned the area for Lady Hotaru, he at first did not see her but sensed her presence, weaker then normal but still in the area. He turned and began walking in the general direction of Kaede's hut. An unknown human just went into the old priestesses hut, Kurama came to stand by Masato. The boy asked him, "So, I guess we won't run into danger outside the village for now?" Youko nodded to him, "This entire area, village and forest surrounding it beyond the well is under my protection."
Footsteps approached and the unknown human returned with Kaede, the human is a woman newly dressed his priestess garb. The look suited her appearance. She had given a bundle to Masato and thanked him for something. Her scent is familiar to him though, he arched a brow and gazed at her. Her scent is Lady Hotaru's scent, yet she is human. Was she a half-demon? No...he had in no way detected the unique scent of a half-breed from her when he first met her. Perhaps she is a servant to the Lady Hotaru? The shikigami then were set to work to purifying the rest of the poison in the village, Kurama's gaze had not left the human though. He had come to terms that she is not a servant of the Southern Lady, but is in fact the same woman. The only other option to his thoughts is that she has a similar condition that he has. "Lady Hotaru, would you walk with me?" He asked politely. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇

Glancing at Kino as she moved up to the group, Hotaru gave a small smile. She still appeared perturbed somewhat. A part of it was because she had to ask for help from the brother of the creature that cursed her. Clenching her fists, she took a deep breath. "I do not know honestly. I will be unable to leave until has arrived though. I fear what might happen should I... expose myself." She knew that Kino would understand what she meant. She would expose herself to Kyuub if she left. If Ryuuk did not arrive soon though... She shook her head, trying to ignore the thought.
At that moment, her shadow returned with the priest. It came up to her and seemed to nuzzle her. "Not too close little one. I need you yet." The shadow moved away sadly. As the priest looked around, his gaze landed on her and his eyes grew sad. The shadow had brought one of the few trusted priests. She nodded to him. "The village needs to be purified and I must introduce you to someone that is in need of your assistance Tomo-Sama." The priest nodded. "This is Masato. He has no control over his powers and the small foxes are his shikigami." The priest nodded and moved up to Masato. "Come young man, you will tell this old man what you know."
Turning as she heard Kurama speak to her, a blush lit her cheeks. Silly human emotions. She couldn't wait to return to her normal body and be normal once more. Being human was tiring at the very least. Moving next to Kurama, she bowed her head to him. "Of course Kurama-san." She glanced over to Masato and gave him a sweet smile. She had felt pleased when he mentioned that she looked great in her new clothing. Turning back to Kurama, she looked up at him. A small smile appeared as she began to move away from the group. No doubt what Kurama wished to say was private.
