*The people were now looking at the three wondering who they were and what exacly they were doing. something aout pancake. Shortstraw was the first to hand one out though. There was a small girl and her mother a thte strets corner, "good morning. Here's a free pancake breakfest from the Castle." He handed the mother and the little girl one, "enjoy." He smiled and continued to the next person standing near the first person he handed one out too. and fianlly people on that corner started to slowly understnad that the castle was handing out breakfest for free. Odd much? Oh yes extreamly odd, some wasn't even sure it was edable. Then again others belived the castle of good people thanks to Eve inthe past. So they were happy to see the castle was now distributing to them. Slowly people were gather around and each getting a pancake handed to them. In no time shortstraw was almost compleatly out with only one left. And he decided exacly who to give it too. As a man was looking t gt the last one shorstraw appoligized, 'Sorry Sir... this one has a name already on it. that really needs it..." he smiled and walked into a dark alliway. there was a kid, homeless who used to fight shortstraw for any scraps. He held out the pancake, "here this is for you. Sorry for allthe fighting before. It will get better. I promes." he smiled as the kid snatche dit and ren back tot he safty of the trash.*

Kiera and Hikari were almost out too, and the people were finally starting to dissipate. Hikari chuckled. "Good turnout, eh?" Kiera stayed stubborn but was smiling anyway, handing out the last of her pancakes. "Looks like people love it that the castle is making an effort for them." Hikari nodded, and she ran out of pancakes. And so she climbed off Kiera's back and lugged her empty bag over her shoulder. Kiera had her last pancake, and Hikari watched as she crouched down to hand it to a little girl, smiling. Kiera ruffed up the little girls hair and she skipped back to her parents, holding her pancake with pride and shoving it in their faces. Kiera looked to the family with a blank face.

*Shortstraw smiled and tugged Kerias sleeve as he noticed her expression* "you made alot of people happy today Ms Keria. And me too." He looked to Hikari, "well I guess we are all out. Do we head back to the castle now or...?"

Kiera was still fixated on the family. Hikari looked down to Shortstraw, letting Kiera think for a second. "I don't know, it depends on what Kiera wants to do, i think." Kiera watched the family intently. Even with all the little girls waving, her parents were too fixated on a market stall. And even once they left that stall they would have left the little girl behind if she didn't notice herself that her parents were walking away. And so she ate the pancake happily and followed obediently after them. Suddenly Kiera was following them, carefully weaving her way through the crowd. Hikari stared after her oddly. "Where is she going now.." Kiera watched as the parents didn't acknowledge their daughter at all. As they passed through shops they would make the girl wait outside and when they came out didn't reassure her or anything. Kiera got angry and stormed up to the parents, twisting the mother and father round to face her. "Have you not realized that you have a daughter or something?!" She said angrily. The parents just looked to eachother and the little girl stared admiringly up at Kiera. "Just letting her have a little freedom is all." Their voices annoyed Keira, and her fists tightened. "Even though she's been trying to get your attention all this time?! What are you, blind deaf and dumb?! Take care of that bloody child or i swear i'll take her off you undeserving scum myself!" The parents looked to eachother again, and the little girl brought a finger up to her mouth cutely. "I just don't see the big deal." The mother said.

*Shorstraw wanted to follow after Keira however was surrly stopped. He then understood why she had done what she had. Becuse thats what happened to her. And now it was a personal thing. Shortstraw slowly walke dup behind Keria. However he wasn't supporting her nor aginst her. He knew how she felt. And surly the parents needed correcting. But he hoped keria wouldn't go too far, if she did he would have to try and stop her. Anger was somthing that would defently scare the people, expechally with keria. Meanwhile he looked to the little girl.*

Kiera brought her hands up and couldn't even contemplate their stupidity. "The big deal is that you brought that goddamn kid into the world. So take care of it like you're supposed to! Sooner or later that child will neglect you. And when you finally gain some bloody interest that child will be in a whole other world of her own, too far for you even to reach. And then what, you've lost your chance." Her voice became softer towards the end, and she brought her hands down to her sides. Kiera looked to the little girl and picked her up, sitting her on her hip. The mother and father watched her eagerly, they knew she was right. And they recognized that this really was the princess telling them to look after their child. They both nodded and looked guiltily to eachother. Kiera looked to the kid then looked to the parents. "Can i trust you to look after her now?" The parents nodded, and Kiera finally obliged to handing over the child to the mother. Once she did, she ruffed up the girls hair one more time before turning her back on them and leaving. She wanted to hide in the crowds.

*Some of the people noticed the act she preformed. And they then relized, the ones who didn't before ike the new comers, this was the second princess of the royal family. And she had finally shown herslef to the city, meanwhile the news of yujis death was still being found within the city itself there were few that already knew of it. Surly enough shortstraw was supprized how she acted int he end with the little girl and the parents. She was harsh to the familiy however tought them a leasion all the same. That was something even yuji would do here and there. however his time was long gone and the people were now talking amonst themselves. Shortstraw tugged Kerias sleeve and whispered to her, "you did really good Ms Keria. Really." he replied to her and just her.
Suddenly there was a loud sound to the north of the city. Something few way into the sky and fallen onto the street witha bounce, as the people clear the street tot he sides the large metal object was a crushed dumpster as it slid to kerias feet. The city was silent as a large man, about the size of three men together, walked up the road and appeared with his hands out, and his rage shown. He had large chain shakels on his hands and feet dragging behind him. This man had escaped some sort of prizen and he was pissed.
Now shortstraw, keria and hikari stood int he center of the street as the large citys enemy appeared. His feet pounding onto the ground like bolders. the street waighted to see who would act as shorstraw looked to keria, "that not a good thing..."

Kiera watched the great man with a lazy expression. "Pawns just don't like being pawns." She sighed angrily. She thought that There had been enough drama for one day, and now this. Big guys like him really pissed her off. "No s**t." She finally replied to Shortstraw. Kiera walked closer to the large man, shoving her way through the crowds until she was in front of him. Putting a hand on her hip, she sighed disappiontedly. Hikari just watched her and climbed up a nearby building to get a good view. Oh she wished she had popcorn. Kiera looked up to the man and picked up a rock, oh so carefully, and threw it at his chest. Viewers would have been bewildered as to why she did something so stupid, But after, she grinned as she clicked her fingers and where the rock had impacted, Suddenly caught fire. The fire spread fast, as it was her special festering fire, and soon be was all alight in flames.

*The man looked to the small flame as it suddenly distingished after spreading alittle bit. Then, the wounds started to heal itself. He then looked up and started to laugh, "I will Crush you insect!" He replied as he picked up the same rock and through it at keria, he missed however it hit the brink buiding in the background and it went stright through the shop and out the other side before hitting another wall and halfway makingit throough that one. This guy was brute, a healer, and some sort of fire proof enemy that looked not to be aimed here but perhaps made it here on his own accord. He then looked to Keria again, "are you my oppentet girl," she spat as he cracked his knuckles. Shortstraw was on the stree in the background now with his bow drawn, "i'll support form the back!" He yelled. Meanwhile he wasn't sure where hikari ran off too.

Kiera chuckled. So now she knew what he was, that was a good tester for anything, apparently. "Yes, it seems so. Shame, that. For you that is, if i were you, i wouldn't want to go against me." She looked to the floor, then to Shortstraw, then to Hikari on top of one of the building near her. "Asher." She called out, and the Asher was there, right next to Kiera, also staring up at her opponent. "So that's what we're against this time?" Kiera nodded. "It's a pity, isn't it." Asher nodded, and jumped into the air, shifting into Kiera's Claymore. Kiera caught it and stuck it into the ground. She put her chin on the hilt and looked to him innocently, tucking one of the folds of her clothing behind herself so that it wouldn't get in the way. It was lucky she was wearing her going out clothes today, otherwise she'd have to be battling in a hoodie and jeans, which wouldn't have been the preferred option. "Your move, fatty." At the very least, she was gracious.

*The man rushed forword as if a ox. He wasn't too slow, nor however was he to good at agility, he simply brought a fist down at the sword, to crush asher, or perhaps harm the sword eough before he kicked it form the ground out of the way, "whats wrong, your not going to fight me face to face!" His overly sized fingure poked keria into stepping back, "Come on princess of yokai, make your stand.... heh heh heh hahahahahhahaha" He laughed as he swated at her as if a pesky fly.*

Asher didn't didn't get harmed. In fact when he brought a fist down on it it didn't move a muscle. It still stayed as solid as a rock. And so he didn't move Kiera back either, as Asher was still blocking the way. Instead he may have felt stinging feelings in his hands as he came into contact with the sword. "Make my stand? What are you talking about, I am standing." She said sarcastically, laughing after. Only Kiera was the one to bring Asher out of the ground, and swung it over her shoulder and rested it there nicely, lazily. Asher came alight with fire, the festering fire, and also electricity from the lamp posts and stores came surging into the Claymore, as if it was sucking it all out. Fire came into contact with Electricity, and they combined to make a multicoloured aura radiating off the blade. As Kiera touched it, it didn't harm her. Well of course not. But if anyone else were to touch it. The part was to simply explode. Or implode. Kiera hadn't really figured that part out yet. She noticed Hikari next, leaping off the building and latching her canine teeth into the mans back. Kiera sighed. "Stupid dog." Maybe Kiera didn't know that Hikari's teeth deflected any healing properties that the man had, however Hikari wouldn't de-latch from anything.

*The man moved his masive arms quickly to remove Hikari as suddenly shortstraw appeared with his daggers in his hands as he made a few strikes and maniged to make the man leave himself open, "NOW" He replied hopeing Keria would infact take the shot. Now he was open and unable to heal, nor use tricks of any kind, the tro was able to simply hol dan dlet the star leader finish off the challange. His chest was wide open for only breif moment...*

Kiera saw her chance, and instantly threw the Claymore, as if it were as light as a dagger, into the mans head.It plunged deep, and as Kiera expected, his head blew up. Kiera then kicked the man's shin to send the lifeless husk to the ground. Hikari gathered herself up next to Kiera and Hikari looked to Shortstraw with a jolly wolfy grin, lapping up the mans blood that covered her muzzle. Kiera looked down to the man then looked to Shortstraw. "Good going there, i almost didn't see the chance." Asher was also in her cat form again, and leaped onto Kiera's shoulder. "You could've done that without me, you know." Kiera shrugged. "I wasn't up for making an effort."

*The town wasn't sure wether to cheer for there safty or be scared. They stared in amusment, however also in wonder ofthe tro. They never really seen these three together before. And wha tthey did know of keria was only the storys of her fight withe scarf man. The child, shorstraw had been seen once in batle four years ago, however he wasn't much to look at then. The wolf girl, they had seen her before traviling alot with yuji, however they never really got used to her either. Was this a new part of the royal familiy that formed? Finally one man started to clap. A few others aswell. But before long the mans body suddenly made a few sounds on the ground. It fell silent again as his body started to glow a bluish color. Shorstraw jumped, "what the heck is that!"
