"If you don't mind me asking, what happened to the girl? Why are they telling you to stay away from her?"

Kaori was in the temple as she arrived to purify any spirits that were about. She had seen all that went on as she put a gentle hand on Luna’s shoulder. It was one of the rare times Kaori was kind. She’d place an olive leaf on her forehead then remove it shortly after before nodding to Ayaka. Kaori was upset with the people that had come. All the strangers had to pay for stirring up the spirits as she began her chant to set the spirits against the newcomers to the town.

Hiro followed after his sister and her friend. He wasn't sure what was going one but his sister said the man was given permission to travel about so long as he didn't take a lot of picture. A bad feeling over came him but she was the head of house at the moment and her words were law.
"Sister...I do believe that letting that man go was a mistake. Are you sure you want him to run around? Reporters are bad news. We could just make him disappear if you wish." Hiro said calmly to Ayaka while bowing slightly.

Ayaka smiled at her friend. "Thank you, they are bad luck, that much is certain." She shook her head. "I was a fool to think that they could be otherwise." She lay back against the wall, and looked up toward the sky. "I am sorry Hiro." She said softly. "Mother will be so angry at me, won't she?" She asked finally looking at her brother. "And now more are coming, and it seems I have let them. Maybe tonight we should try and scare them off.
Athrun shook his head. "Something about too many questions I think I heard her scream. I was asking her questions, trying to learn more about this place." He shrugged, "I didn't think it would hurt her." He looked up at the two. "When I got here they didn't want me around, now they really don't want me around, but this is for work, so I must stay, at least for a couple days of it."

"No its not all your fault Ayaka." Luna said. "Im the one who showed him around so i take most of the blame." she said. "Scare them off would probaly be the best thing to do." she said.

Ayaka nodded. "We don't want more mysterious murders, if that happens we may have far more than trouble on our hands then we have bargained for. We may have officers coming here to investigate. It's been a while since the last disappearance, but not long enough for the story to be forgotten."

"I don't want any more people to die." Luna said quietly.

Ayaka nodded in agreement. "I don't as well, that would definitely be a tragedy for this town. the cops would come and bug us. Then only more may die. I would say that scaring away what we have is the most important thing at the moment, maybe tonight after the ceremony when we are covered by night."

Kaori finished the summoning of spirits meant only to scare the newcomers away not to harm them. Her eyes remained narrowed as she walked to where to could sit down to watch the kitsune spirits do their work. She motioned for them to go with her glowing blade as she sat down in the temple. Her body luckily was already purified for the ceremony or it was likely they would have attacked her.

"As you wish sister. I shall use my information network to keep an eye on the newcomers coming to town and we will also work on trying to find out where these curious spectators are getting their interests in our town." Hiro said calmly holding his bow. "With your permission I will take my leave and see to the arrangements.
Being head of security Hiro had access to quite the network of information. The less Ayaka and the others had to know the better off they will be. After all they were all young still and it was not his place to shine a light of ugliness on them.

Lucian sighed and shook his head. "Questions hurt her? That doesn't..." He fell silent for a moment, deciding not to finish his train of though. "Well, whether they like it or not, we're here to stay. Just hope they don't hurt us while we're here."
Alyssa nodded in agreement. "Me too. I hope that girl is okay though. But if they don't want us around, shouldn't we leave..?"
Lucian shot a glare at his sister. "You could've stayed home like I told you too, but you insisted on tagging along. You can go home if you want, but I'm staying here." He tossed her the car keys. "I believe you can find the way home."
Alyssa frowned as she caught them. "But I'm not leaving here without you! If your staying, then I am too!" She scratched her head. "It just the way they're acting makes me worried for our safety."

A young woman got out of her car and looked around. "So this is the place where the reporters of missing people have been documented." she said as she fixed her glasses and began walking to the intrance. She saw the group of people gathered. "Excuse me do you live in this village?" she asked as she looked at them.

"It is really quite simple, we have our myths, and if we play the part correctly I think we can scare them out of here pretty quickly. That is what the spirits would want, to get them out." Ayaka said looking over at Luna. "It is simply how we act it. But in doing so they must not see who it is who is scaring them. With that in mind brother please to be careful." she looked over at her brother and smiled at him. "Do what you can, but don't do too much, I don't want you to get in trouble, or get hurt."
"Actually it makes perfect sense if you think about it. These spirits they talk about, and they are honoring, what if it is them who were hurting her?" Athurn began to pace, pondering this notion. "It would make sense, don't you agree?"
Then a car drove up parking. From within a woman came out. Athrun watched her for a moment. "Indeed ma'am this is the place, and no, all three of us are visitors here." He informed her, smiling pleasantly. "What brings you here my dear?" He asked, "I am a reporter of the Marian Times. Athrun Mioko is the name."

"Sounds like a good plan but what if something bad happens? what if the spirit controls one of us and we kill someone?" Luna said. "Im sure it won't happen unless one of them does something really bad." she said.
"My name is Raina Takumo." she said as she held out a badge. "I am a former cop who has come to discover the strange deaths that have happened here." she said. "Is there any information you can give to me about these people here?" she asked.
