Xiao picked up the pace and put her horse into a full run. She need to catch up to the others. she could tell they were close by but not sure how she was from them. She was using a rate chi sensing ability that all Seishi had, whether they used or not, it did not mater. Xiao kept ridding straight ahead till she found them or they found her.

Glancing over at Riku, Mika gave him a grin. "Sorry! Didn't mean to lose you." Though, she wasn't too surprised by his attempt to woo the Priestess. He was a Prince. He was supposed to be charming and gentile. She chuckled a little, and once her brother's little chat was done, she moved over next to Tamahome. "Not what you were expecting today, huh?" She knew she wasn't. The Bandit Princess hadn't really thought that today would be the day that the Priestess of Suzaku would arrive, that she would meet up with two of the other warriors and that it would be the start of their journey. All she was figuring was going to happen would be that she would go down to the town, arrange for the gang's visit and rip some people off. Hell, she hadn't even done any thieving today. Of course, she wasn't going to mention it. However, as they stood there talking, she caught a movement out of the corner of her eye. There, down on the path they had avoided, was a person on horseback. They didn't look armed, or like anyone she had seen passing through before. But, it looked like they were in a hurry or trying to find someone. It would probably be better if they ducked out of sight for a bit. "Oi... there is a person on the trail," she said, poking her brother before ducking behind a bush. Nobody galloped through Mount Reikaku unless they were in trouble from the bandits, or trying to find the bandits to give them trouble.

Miki didn't have to be introduced to the young man to know exactly who he was. Besides Mika already telling him, he knew the man by sight. Afterall, he and Mika had visited the Capital before. There were probably still wanted posters of the pair of them hanging around the place. He bowed to the Prince, before nodding. "Mika told me of you. I am Miki." He had been about ready to lead them all back to camp, when his sister prodded him. He glanced down at the road, before doing the same, and motioning for the others to do so as well. It was peculiar. He hoped that it wasn't an attack on the camp again. The last one had been quite annoying. People just didn't seem to understand that attacking a bandit camp, particularly one lead by a pair of Suzaku Celestial Warriors was a bad idea.
"Shhhh..." he said, softly, putting a finger to his lips, all the while keeping his eyes on the rider. It was a female, and while for most that put them at ease, it never did for him. Afterall, having a sister like Mika tended to make one a little more enlightened about just how deceptive looks could be. His mark started to burn as he watched her, which he passed off. Given the amount of energy that was around them, he wasn't surprised the mark was going off. He didn't figure that the rider was one of them. That would be just sheer dumb luck, afterall.

((Wai everyone coming to the Priestess!? Hari's gonna be so mad. xDDD))
Hibari wasn't sure how to act. First Bishie Riku (there was a moment when she wanted to say that Riku had shoulder length silver hair and blue eyes) had walked right up to her and kissed her hand (her reaction was to blush, melt, and swoon, and would have completely done so had not some small part of her that was still sensible told her to keep a straight head). Then Treeman Sun had been all gruff and adult-y on her (she'd almost yelled at him to put a sock in it. If I'd wanted to get scolded I'd be in class right now!).
And then suddenly there was someone on a horse coming up the trail. The pink-haired girl shivered slightly despite the heat and slowly slipped behind Miki and Mika. It wasn't that she was scared. Well, okay, she wasn't scared of the situation. What she was scared of was the horse. Or more rather, the speed at which it was going.
In Osaka, she'd had a friend, Suna. He'd been a laid-back friendly guy, the kind that slept in class and flirted. Suna had owned a car, a sleek, shiny convertible. One time, Suna had gone street-racing with a bunch of guys. Four days later she was at his funeral, watching his body burn in the cremation furnace.
Unconsciously, Hibari clung tighter to the folds of Miki's clothes and pulled slightly in the direction of the side of the path. If the rider didn't stop, her new friends could get trampled. She didn't want another Suna. Not now. Now to them.

Xiao sensed one of her fellow Seishi nearby but could not who it was. That was the only downfall for her was that she could sense them but could not distinguish who was who. Although she could tell friend from foe. Xiao slowed her steed to a trot and looked around for the ones she knew were there. She came to a halt and dismounted from the horse. She grabbed her water skin off the horse and sat on a rock. She was getting tired and hungry but she need to keep moving.
"Where could they be?" she asked aloud.
She did not expect an answer so she decided to take a break from her trek. Xiao stood up and walked to her food bag and grabbed an apple and a slice of bread. She went back to the rock and sat back down. she drank her water and ate her food. All the while tiring to think of where to look for the chi she was sensing.

Tamahome saw that the girl really seemed to be looking for someone, and his symbol was itching something awful. He sighed a bit, and left the twin with the Prince and the Priestess, and he headed down the slop, only a few yards before he came into the area the girl was eating. "You've got people watching you," the handsome man came up to her right, his hands out to show he wasn't armed. "Can I help you with something? These hills aren't exactly safe if you don't know something."

Keeping an eye out on what was going on, Miki felt a small tug on his robe. He turned his head, to glance at Hibari. He didn't know what exactly she was frightened of. She was here, surrounded by Celestial Warriors. She had nothing to fear. He covered her hand with his own, giving her a small smile and nod. Everything would be alright. She didn't have anything she needed to worry about. He caught Tamahome leave out of the corner of his eye, only to see the man walking over to the now stopped rider. It seemed that they were taking a break, though that made him wonder. Were they a scout of some kind? The itch on his arm didn't much help matters. He took a quick glance at Mika, who looked a little anxious, before turning back to the unfolding scene.

Xiao looked up to the man that approached her and a faint red glow could be seen on her right palm, the hand which she held her apple in.
"Yes I am well aware that there are people watching me. I assume that they are the bandits that run this area, but I pose no threat to anyone. I only seek to find a girl that I saw in a vision." She responded to the man
She took another bite of her apple and stood to her feet. she walked to her horse and put her food away. She walked back to the man and stood before him unarmed.
"I do not know who you are but from what I can tell, you are a friend and would mean the girl no harm, but I do not know what she looks like only that she is not from here." she stated
She did not introduce herself yet and would wait till the right time to do so

Tamahome's eyes went to her hand, where the red glow was. "I certainly wouldn't harm her, and it seems as though you won't either." He smirked a bit, and looked back to where the others were. He nodded a bit, then his attention went back to the girl.
"My name is Sun Li, but you can call me Tamahome." He slipped his shirt up a bit so she could see the mark on the top of his hip. The little smirk hadn't left his face yet, but he was not sure she was another of the warriors.

Xiao Smiled and nodded.
"I have no wish to harm her either." she replied.
She showed him her right hand, "I am Xiao-Xing Lin, but you can call me Chichiri. " she introduced herself.

Tamahome looked up at where he knew Miki and Mika were hiding with the priestess. "Hm..." he said, "the priestess is going to be mad that all her warriors have come to her on their own... it seems she's rather intent on having an adventure." He motioned for Chichiri to follow him, as he went back up the little hill and came out in the glade. "So, we're missing Nuriko, Mitsukake and Chiriko. At least with so many warriors already, we know we'll be able to protect her..." He smiled a bit at Mika...

No more thundering hooves. No more sounds of something moving at too fast a pace, threatening an accident. Hibari relaxed, and released her death grip on Miki's clothes, and looked up at the man with her childish eyes. It was okay now. She wasn't scared anymore. As Treeman came back, she heard his remark and suddenly it was like her clinging to Miki had never happened.
"You bet Hari-chan's mad!" she agreed. "Ah, well . . . not mad . . . but . . . I like playing hide-and-seek! I'm so good at hiding! But Hari-chan likes seeking too. And this is like . . . like hide-and-seek scavenger hunt!! It's super uber fun!" She waved her arms wildly to emphasize how fun it was. "But when the hiders come to the seeker it's no fun."
Now that the excitement was over, her body had something else on its agenda. Hibari blinked in surprise, then burst out into hysterical giggles at her stomach's demand for food.
"Hari-chan's nomgry~" she managed between giggles. "Neh, neh, is anyone else nomgry~?"

Miki had been watching the whole scene unfold, and had started to ease up once he caught the glimpse of a glow on Xiao's hand. It seemed that they had found another warrior, or atleast that another warrior had found them. Glancing over at Hari, he shook his head. He didn't quite know what had gotten her so spooked earlier, but she seemed to have calmed down. Listening to her rant about all of the warriors finding her made him chuckle slightly. "Ah, don't worry. There are still a few that are hiding. You'll have your adventure." He gave her a small pat on the head, before looking back at the others. He was about to say something about heading back to camp, as Hibari's stomach made it's presence known. Apparently, the girl was quite hungry, or nomgry as she so called it. "Well, let's get you something to eat. Come on everyone." He was going to have to do some arranging as it was, given the amount of warriors that were coming up to the camp. He could already feel the headache coming on.

Watching everything, Mika was surprised at Tamahome's initiative. She would have been content with a little more sneaking, but his method had worked out quite well. She was impressed. When he came back up, the young woman gave him a smile, nodding. She hadn't been sure about him before, but she was quite enjoying having him around. He was useful, and pretty damn handsome too. When the Priestess' stomach began to act up, Mika stifled a small giggle. She could relate. She hadn't eaten since breakfast this morning, having been a little too caught up in the hectic works of leading the bandits to eat lunch. "Well, Hari, my stomach agrees with yours. Don't worry. The cooks will fix up something good." With that, she moved over towards Tamahome, the smile still on her lips. "That was a nice tactic, Tamahome. I'm impressed."

Hibari squeaked slightly as Miki patted her head, but grinned up at him all the same. "They better hide really really reaaaaaaally well, 'cuz Hari-chan's a good seeker!"
As Miki declared that they were (finally) getting something to eat, Hibari nodded her head vigourously, and latched her herself on Miki's arm in a way not too different from the way a little sister would grab hold of her older brother.
"Yeah~! Let's go!! We can sit down and talk over noms~!" She started to drag the Bandit King up the path. "Neh, Mustachio, I think the girls are too busy oggling Treeman. Let's go first~"
