Setsuna gave a shocked shout as she felt his head and then his body under her. She fell forward across his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck holding onto him hopping she would not fall off. He was so fast...much faster than she ever imagined him to be. Maybe she should ease up on her teasing of him. For if she ever made him truly mad he could kill her faster than she could even cry out.
She pressed her fast to his neck and held a bit tighter when he finally stopped. Looking up she was amazed to see the hot springs, "Y..Yes this is the right spot...Xio....that was very impressive!" She looked down at him with a genuine smile for him, the first time she had shown him something other than mild disgust.
Mizu Itsu herd her sister shout and started to run towards the sound only to see her brightly colored sister 'mount' a dark, chained, and blood stained creature. She felt something in her heart yearn and hurt. X..Xio was back and her sister was hiding him from her. She stopped her run shocked, "But Setsuna...you always hated him...how can they be..."
For once in her life she started to feel anger building inside her. Never had she gotten upset over all the tricks her lively sister had played on her. Nor even when Xio has disappears but now...the sight over the two of them 'working together' started a small flame in her chest.

Xio looked at Setsuna from the corner of his eye. "Hm? Impressive? .. Thank you." He slowly lowered his body. Like a horse would, forward first then lower body. His tail flapping to each side of him..
"Bath time. Right?" His ears lowered to the sides of his face now..Looking over the springs. It didn't seem. THAT bad. Baths were.. just troublesome when you have come back from getting your 'hunt' for the day. He still looked on.. the steam flowing like smoke would. But it cooled his fur.. Making it flow up then down again.
His dark fur shinning blue every time the steam would shoot up. "Ah.. no one here though..." He thought it over in his head.. a bath. With one twin? He shook his head. With how big he was compared to them, that would take all day. Setsuna.. seemed happy though, at least that was a plus. He wondered.. where Mizu was though. He looked up and saw that the moon was shining brightly.. The stars coming out one by one. It was romantic... This time of night.. But Xio didn't even notice those sorts of things. Not paying any mind what so ever. A bath was a bath. Not some summer get away.
He crawled a little to the edge of the rock.. Looking down at the water.. Having a thin seam over it.. He reached a paw in.. feeling the warmth rush through his paw tips to his tail with JUST a touch. Not noticing that there was another nearby. He sighed.. "Mm.. its warm...." he finally admitted.

Setsuna nods, "Yes it will be alot nicer than the cool water last time we gave you a bath." She smiled and moved to lower herself into the warm water. She gasped a bit and laughed. "Come on in big guy. " she splashed the water at him. She smiled and wrapped her hair up pulling it in a bun, "Yes and it wont be too bad I am sure. " She seemed more alive in the warmth than she did in the open. "Come on now don't look so sad...it is a beautiful night...though I do not enjoy the cold air night brings...."
Mizu Itsu shudder and tried to remember what was in the dirrection her sister and the other ran. "H..Hot springs?" She flushed and winced a bit move towards the springs. She needed to know if it really want Xio...there was no way Setsuna and he could be working together and enjoying each other.
As she neared the springs she moved more slowly staying in the open her marking blended her with the night sky and the darkness. She moved near to silent. She need to see if they were both here or if it was just her imagination. She shook her head, why was the thought of the two of them together and being friends bothering her so much. It was stupid, "If they want to be together then let them..." she whispered to herself.

Xio did as Setsuna said and slowly dipped in.. The rush of warmth touching now on his back. His tail flipped a few times.. The chains hitting the spring lightly then it sunk in with his tail.. He lightly padded his way to more shallow end that went a few more steps to the right. Directly in front of the opening. Then he laid down and let his tail flop then drag water on to his back. Doing this repeatedly before rolling in the spring's rocks below to brush off the old blood.. and as he did this, blood seemed to smear its way around him. He winced and gave out a howl.. A rock. Sharp. Made a slit on his right flank. He turned to the injury ... It was pretty big.. he shouldnt have just rolled like that.. He made a light growl and sighed again letting down his guard again and he lightly padded off to the shore.. So the blood wouldnt stain the spring anymore.
His tail padded up and down, still picking up some water and flaunting it over his back. He bent his neck slowly torward the wound and licked at his wound. "Can't do everything right. " He grumbled to himself.. Then he started nipping at his wound.

Setsuna laughed as she watched him, Maybe Mizu Itsu was right about him and this four legged creature was not so bad. She gasped as howl and moved over to him, "Don't bite at it." she moved to keel next to him, "Let me see it..." she held out her hand waiting to see if he would let her check him out, "I would not have minded scrubbing the blood off of you. Your so much much more handsome when your clean."
Mizu heard the howl and winced. She had to force herself to stay moving in her sneaking manner and not run to see what Setsuna might have done to Xio. She moved slowly closer until she could see the two of them now just outside of the spring's water. Thankfully she was downwind and so Xio would not be able to pick up her scent as se watched.

Xio looked at Setsuna and nodded softly as he tossed his head to one side and laid it upon his paws. His tail flicking every which way.
"Handsome.. I heard that word before.. " He looked at her from the corner of his eye. "If you scrubbed my fur it would take you long.. so I rather you have enjoyed your time in these lovely springs." He shook his head lightly and fanned his ears back.
He leaned to the side in a lay position so the wound could be examined properly. "Though.. its night and I dont think that you could see well.. " He took his hind leg and scratched it lightly. Not to open it but from the wetness of the fur and old blood mixing with new.. it itched.
"mm... " He grumbled some. "So when I become 'handsome' .. I can see Mizu ? Or.. thats how it was before?"

Setsuna looked at the wound as best she could in the night. "Well I can't see if but Mizu would be able too, and now it would not have taken too long to scrub you clean." she laughed and splashed some water on wound to clean it, "Stop scratching it!" she sighed and grabbed a long leaf to warp around his leg. "Why do you want to see her so bad? And yes if you clean up we can go find her..."
Mizu watched she was able to see them rather clearly in the darkness and she listened. He had never laid for her...she sighed and stood, "Why do you need to find me?" She asked in her cool velvet voice. She moved towards them her silver eyes and hair picking up the faint hint of moonlight and glowed softly. She almost had a goddess like look to her.

Xio padded the shore of the water a bit to splash on to Setsuna as she played the same in retaliation. "Ahh.. the reason.... I wanna see ...her is because- " he couldn't even get to finish his sentence before hearing a too familiar voice.
His ears pricked up and looked to Mizu with a look of awe as he realized how beautiful she was becoming just for the pure moonlight's shine. "Mizu Itsu.." He softly said as he smiled under his skull plate covering to top of his head. "So I can possibly con-"
Not even a second after a flash of stars flew by and settled on top of the biggest rock in the spring. And sure enough it was another girl Katorai. Her bright white eyes being just as filled with calamity as the next girls. "HEY YOU GET AWAY FROM HIM RIGHT NOW!" She sqwaked. The dark of her coat was just fa nominal. Her body small and sure enough she could only be seen as a child form up close. From the top of the rock she looked like some big female that was ready to stomp on the world. She pointed the sun girl out. "Thats MY dark beast!" She growled. Not very pleasant but when she saw unknown girls around him. She had to admit. She was jealous and protective.
Xio switched his views and saw he .. so called sister. According to his guardian.. He gave a big sigh. "Please don't mind her." He shook his head in disbelief that she had found him.

Setsuna gasped as she heard Mizu. She turned and her fingers laced in Xio's fur. "M..Mizu..." she saw a flash and turned to see a 'huge girl' standing on a boulder. Even though she was weaken at night she stood tall and glared at the other. "Who the hell do you think you are to claim him, We saw him first so he is our dark beast!"
She knew that if the larger girl wanted a fight then Mizu would protect both her and Xio.
Mizu Itsu smiled at Xio, she had to resist the urge to run to him, he had grown so handsome and dangerous looking his body solid muscle. Though when she saw Setsuna fingers moving his his herd she tensed. She turned to look at the 'large' female.
And sighed again at both of their words. "You are both wrong..Xio does not belong to anyone but the night that shelters him and the day that guides him." Her voice was calm and sparkling. She looked at the night sky pattern on the other and seeing her seemingly familiarity with Xio her heart tried to fill her with pain.
She shook her head and looked over them all. "You should feel childish trying to claim another's life as your own...and miss if he does not mind my sister's light then it is for him to decide."

The girl grumbled and jumped down just as easily and landed on a rock in the middle of the spring. Her hands to her hips as she was now founded out for her small size. A child still! How quint. "I HAD HIM FIRST! HES MINE!" She growled and looked at the girl.. shimmering long silver hair.. She stayed in awe for a moment but no! this was a mission! to get her brother back. "Come along Xio-sama! We're going home with me!" She shouted at them. Not caring for any others feelings except her mission. Then she flipped and like an amazon that knew the starling night she landed in the shallow end.. Walking up to the female. Grunting and ready to take him by force.
Xio nuzzled Setsuna's side when she gripped on to him- then he took up.. His muscles pushing against the wound as he moved.. but he acted as if nothing happened.. "Its ok Setsuna.." He said softly and then looked at Mizu.. Giving her a look.. a though to say eternally thank you.. for he felt his cheek burn under his skull. Then he walked up next to the tiny female.. Putting his forehead against hers. "You leave my friends alone. And you apologize to them right now." He bonked her forehead with is skull.. She grunted.
"Bu-bu! They try take you away from meee!!" She whined..
He sighed."Say sorry. Now."
The girl shuddered as this was the first time he said something serious to her! And on top of that.. He didn't obey her as he used to, instead he was protecting these girls! The girl's ears leant down. "Im.. Im." Xio nudged her side. "Im sorry..."
"Good girl..." He smiled softly and turned to his friends, bowing down a bit, as he limped on his hhind leg..

Setsuna winced a bit as the girl appeared under hear and near her and Xio. Pressed to Xio and let go when he stood up. "You spoiled little brat how dare you just come in here and try to take Xio. We were with him when he was still a pup...and just because we have not seen him in a long time does not give you the right to tell us what we should do!" she sighed, "Xio....please don't go..Mizu can fix your leg.."
Mizu Itsu sighs and walks down towards her twin, "Setsuna stop trying to picks fights." She smiled warmly at Xio in a your very welcome...and there are things we need to discuss. She watched the young night girl and Xio. He was so gentle...she always knew he was a gentle protector. She tried to ignore the she had him first comment. It was just a child....nothing more.
"Thank you for your apology and I apologize for my sister...she is a bit hot headed at times. Xio please let me see your leg? IF that is alright with your friend as well?" She was trying to be nice.
Setsuna looks shocked, "What does it matter what the runt thinks?" She turned to the little girl, "This is big kids time so little runts should run off and play else where!" She started to look a bit tired now.

The lil girl growled. "HEY! IM A BIG KID TOO!" She pouted.
Xio looked at Mizu, kindly.. He didn't know what had happened.. But he just felt genuinely happy around her. As she neared, he too neared her.. Giving her a light nuzzle on the cheek.. Then looked at the girl. "No.. I apologize for my sister. She is a bit routy.. but she doesn't mean harm." He smiled softly and chuckled some as he felt the thoughts of his sister becoming his 'owner'. He turned to Setsuna.. this was.. a lot of emotion she had shown towards him.. and it made him feel good. Like he was physically and soully apart of them now. Both. "I'll be fine.." He smirked at Setsuna as though saying that 'dont we have the best healer here?'. he looked to Mizu and nodded softly to her eyes that talked and her motions.
The girl pouted. "Jus cuz yea knows him! Doesn't mean you could have 'em!" She shouted a bit.. Then went in to an over obbessive mode when she saw that he was hurt and hadn't realized. "XIO SAMA!? YOU HURT!?" tears could be seen forming in her eyes as she was about to burst and she launched herself around his neck.Clinging tightly and minorly pushing Setsuna out of the way as though no respect was shown.

Setsuna growls as she was pushed aside. "You bart I swear I am going to beat you up!"
Mizu Itsu blushed lightly at Xio's movements to her and the nuzzle, her hand moving up to rub his cheek for a brief moment. Oh she wanted to just hug him so bad. But she pulled away. And knelt down to look at the leg when the young female jumped around Xio's neck.
She sighed, "Miss I can help fix his leg if you let me see it. " She moved back and waited. She just wanted to spend this beautiful night catching up with with strong wild male.
Setsuna sighs, "Well maybe we should let the princess take her prince charming and try to fix it herself!" She huffed and moved over to sit on a rock. Looking a bit tired and slightly weaker.

"Pff Look whos the brat. Pouting there while your all sunny like. There is no sun anymore now IS THERE!?" She growled back and looked at the moon woman..Oh.. How she was just admirable to look at. "Hmm..." She looked down and examined his flank , crawling up on top of Xio and leaning over the other side to see how bad it was. Xio, flank gave way to his leg a bit when she climbed.. But she was totally oblivious to the pain she was causing.. Checking the wound to her was more in her mind- And surely. It was... She thought this a moment.. she can't heal big wounds like that.. She leant back and pushed off of him, slowly walking up to the front of his face and softly brushing her palm on his skull. Like a master would to its horse.. But thankfully this wasn't the case.
"If you could heal him.. Just.. Just dont hur-"
Xio pushed his skull on to the child's. "I'll be fine.. " he softly turned to Mizu.. and smiled. "I trust her.. More than anyone." His chains gave a rang as his tail slowly began to react to the joy that filled his heart. "Lil Miss... " He looked to his sister then Setsuna. "Now.. You better go apologize. that wasn't nice of you.. And if you keep acting that why.. I won't come home. And no BIG brother for you." That was about the only thing that can get her to react.
GAUH! Moonflower almost looked terrified.. and she turned around and bowed her head, and even bend her body forward to Setsuna. "Im sorry Miss... Im sorry!"

Setsuna growled and rubbed her eyes. She unlike her sister did not like their change in strengths during the changes of the day. She sighed and watches, "I am not pouting....you punk..." she sighed and watched the little girl. She winces as she sees the pain the other is causing.
Mizu Itsu felt heat rise to her face as he said the words of trust. She smiled and shook her head, "it is true...I will not hurt your brother and seeing as he is of night my healing will help more than my sister's touch will. She felt her heart race even more when she heard him say brother. She did not know why but she was trilled that they were not dating.
As she watched the other run over to her sister she moved closer to Xio and carefuly reached for his leg gently moving it to a position she could work on it. Her hands were cool and gentle unlike her sisters warm and energetic touch. she softly pushed the fur back and rinsed the wound before she started to mix some mud and a bit of algae together.
Setsuna sighed and looked at the girl, "Its okay....and the name is Setsuna....you are very protective of your brother I see. Don't worry we are just a couple of girls he found one day. We're just his friends and we don't plan on taking him away so why don't you come over here and let my sister work on fixing his leg."
