Daisuke had to get out of the cave, the curse mark was burning too much. He was use to chaos like what was going on, in fact he was used to more of it. He was worried about Kiyoko and Artemis but knew there was nothing that he could do. He stepped outside, it was getting late and the sun was slowly saying its last good byes as drifted towards the horizon. He began to take a small walk, maybe walking would help the curse mark too he thought.

Pakkun reappeared in front of Artemis, a worn look on his face."Artemis, Buraian is a mess... there is no one home, he is out of it. You need to go back before he does something drastic.... I saw a vial in the trash, I don't really know what that means but maybe its important to you."Pakkun said in a breathless voice as he disappeared.Artemis looked down at her ring, it was still intact but with what Pakkun said who knows how long it would be like that. Artemis cried a bit and she debated wether or not to go, she decided to go."Come one kids, we are going home..."she said in a serious tone as she took her stuff and Kiyoko's hand,"Daisuke I will leave you here to train if you want... lets go."Artemis said in a pained voice as she and Kiyoko ran to the house, 'Buraian, hold on.' she thought as she put her ring back on, tears going down her face.

Through the dying rain, azuma made his way to the outskirts. He looked up, his soaked hair falling into his multiple-ringed eyes. He approached a cave, taking shelter in it to warm up. He started a fire with a simple fire jutsu and a dry scroll and moved close to warm up in the cool cave.

Kiyoko was crying as she kept running and climbing up this mountain, the further she got from the house and her family the better. She lost control and for a brief second she felt the desire to kill Hikaru, it would have been easy just crush him. She shook her head and was not paying attention which caused her to lose her footing and slid down a bit. On the way down she banged her knee, twisted her ankle, and sprained her wrist but took out some kunai and sticking them into the wall was able to come to a stop and swing into a cave. She groaned as she held her knee and noticed the good sized gash on her right arm, she took out some bandage and wrapped it around the cut, pressing weight on it to stop the bleeding. She frowned and lay on the ground,"This is my home.... far away so that I won't hurt him again or anyone else... I have to control it."Kiyoko frowned as she clenched her bad wrist, ironically it was the same one that punched the wall so it killed. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.

Hikaru had been tracking Kiyoko all the way, he struggled following her up the mountain, his injuries causing him discomfort and pain along the way. It caused him to lose her location but, as he climbed he noticed blood, and kunai points in the wall. He followed them down and into the cave. "Kiki-chan?!" he said as he ran over to his injured sister and gave her a big hug. He knew what she must be feeling, it was the same feeling he had when he had almost lost it to his curse seal, and back when mom told him it was best to go on his own after he had hurt Kiyoko and put her in the hospital. "It's ok Kiyoko...I'm ok...look you can control it...I'll help you...I...I don't want you to go through what I did..." he said as he slumped down and looked at her closed eyes. "Kiki-chan....I'm here...and I love you...I won't let you suffer....alright..." he whispered to her as he gave her a big hug, completely ignoring the shots of pain running through his body as all the movement in following her had caused him.

Kiyoko felt a familaiar presence and thought she heard Hikaru's voice, she slowly opened her eyes and felt herself being hug,"H-Hika-kun? I-I'm s-sorry, I don't know what happened, this urge to kill you was so strong... I am weak."Kiyoko muttered as she was hesitant in hugging him back mainly because she could tell he was in pain and she did not want to cause him anymore pain so she sat on her hands,"I love you too Hika, and my whole purpose is to make sure no one ever hurts you or my family and friends.... w-would you really? Hikaru, you look like your in pain..."Kiyoko muttered painfully as she looked down and clenched her fists.

Hikaru just hugged his sister and when he backed off he smiled a bit. "It's alright Kiyoko...I'll be fine, and I'll deal with the pain...but your not alone alright...and we can work together to gain control of your seal..." he said giving her a smile as he backed up and lightly lifted her head up. "Kiki-chan, you've grown really strong physically...I am glad to call you sister now...let us work together to ensure you are strong enough to conquer anything, first is your curse seal alright." he said grinning his child-like grin.

Kiyoko looked up at her brother and smiled, her eyes glistening as she nodded and gave him a big hug back,"Your right! We can do it! I'm sorry again Hika-kun...."she muttered as she pulled back and smiled a bit wider and happier. She knew that together they could help overcome her seal and that once she has control there is no telling what she could achieveArtemis and Buraian looked around the mountains for their kids, Artemis had her kane naruishi activated which allowed her to see chakra signatures. They looked around and she finally picked up on their chakra systems,"I found them."she said as she hopped up and landed in the mouth of the cave, she smiled and knealt down"There you two are, you guys OK?"she asked in a concerned, relieved voice as she deactivated her kane naruishi and went over to the kids and hugged them then finished healing Hikaru and went on to Kiyoko's injuries.

Hikaru smiled a bit as Artemis arrived. "Sorry..I had to go after her..." he said rubbing the back of his head as she finished healing him. "Heh heh heh....well...so...you want to have a camp out?" he asked giving his child-like grin. They were in a cave and away from home so it was a good opportunity, than again Kiyoko and him weren't exactly in the best of shape. Buraian walked over behind Artemis and when she was finished he laughed a bit. "See honey, I told you they were our kids." he said sticking his tongue out at her playfully as he picked up the healed Kiyoko and put her on his shoulders. "So then, a camp out it is, we will have a lot of fun." he said as he played with Kiyoko a bit to cheer her up before setting her down, he then put his hand on Hikaru's shoulder and gave him the 'that's my boy' look before he headed towards the cave's exit. "I'll get the firewood, Artemis why don't you head home and pick up the needed sleeping bags, I don't think Hikaru is going to take no for an answer." he said as he walked down the mountain to retrieve the firewood.

Kiyoko brightened at the idea of a camp out and also her Dad picking her up, she had a fresh bandage on her arm and a brace on her ankle and wrist,"Yay!! This will be so much fun... what about Daisuke?"Kiyoko asked as she sat down."I know I know ha ha... of course they are, they have the injuries and the attitudes to prove it.Artemis laughed a bit and smiled,"Right, I will be right back and I will bring Daisuke too."Artemis said as she ruffled Hikaru's hair then darted out of the cave back home.

Once the parents left Hikaru sighed deeply. "Heh...guess I make a good actor..." he whispered as he fell backwards onto the hard floor. He was exhausted from all the running, chasing and injuries. 'What if he comes back...why would my evil save me...' he thought as he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep. He heard an almost evil, crazy laugh as he drifted away and as he slept his curse seal slowly began to glow a bit more red and inch across his body. It shouldn't have been very noticeable then again they were in a very dark cave so Kiyoko would be if she looked for it.

Kiyoko frowned a bit and leaned back, why did he say that."What do you- hmmm never mind."Kiyoko muttered as she pulled her knees up close to her and rested her head on them. Her eyes were wandering and her eyes started to droop but then opened wide as she saw a bit of red coming from Hikaru, she frowned and went over to investigate. She gasped a bit when she saw his curse mark spread across his face and giving off the red light. She slid back a bit, debating on whether or not to wake him, she bit her bottom lip 'I thought he had control over it?' she thought as she looked at her brother then outside, her expression thoughtful as she waited for their parents

Hikaru slept soundly unaware of his curse seal having spread. After a while he woke up and as he rubbed his eyes the seal retracted to it's original position and had stopped glowing. "Hey Kiki-chan...you ok?" he asked noticing the thoughtful expression. He seemed ok considering all the pain he had been in. "Alright...so when do you want to work on that controlling of your seal?" he asked giving a smile, before she could answer Buraian walked back in carrying the firewood. "Sorry it took me so long kids, the tree line doesn't start till at least half-way down from here." he said as he set up the fire and started it. "So how were you while I was gone? Oh, and Kiyoko why don't you teach Hikaru Shogi?" he asked giving them a smile, in all honesty he wanted to see them play he figured it would be interesting.

Kiyoko smiled but it was fake and she nodded,"Naw, its nothing Hika-kun... heh heh... sure! I would love to."she said in a enthusiastic tone though there was an edge to it that sounded wary and confused. She took out the mini Shogi board and set it up in between her and Hikaru, the smile still on her face"The goal of Shogi is simple... capture another person's King."She started in a pedantic tone then went on to explain the rules and what each peice meant and how they moved, etc. They had begun the game and mid-way both were basically even, Kiyoko looked up and moved her peice, putting Hikaru's in a tight situation, simlar to what Buraian had put her in: risk a peice to end the game quicker or save the peice and loose more people."What do you think of that Hika-kun, what does each peice mean to you Hiakru? Humanizng the peices makes the game a bit more interesting...."she said in a even tone and smirked as she had a mature look on her face, waiting for his reply."Hey guys sorry it took so long, this stuff was heavy... oh who is winning?"Artemis asked a bit breathlessly as her and Daisuke arrived at the cave, she plopped down with the stuff and watched the children.
