Itami disappeared for a few minutes and returned with another pair of twins. Like Lance and Lacey, they were brother and sister. The only obvious difference was their snow white hair. Itami must have found them and brought them back. Rosco was never one to be subtle. He drifted over towards the trio and nudged Kiho with his big toe. "She isn't dead is she?" He said in a slightly musical tone. A very morbid musical tone mind you. Rosco grinned at the pair of them. "I see Itami's taken to you. Doesn't happen very often. We don't have much use for the dead, except probably creating more of them." His voice softened to what could be called just a whisper. Rosco did this with every newbie that Itami brought in. He tested them and their nerve. Perhaps he was cocky, maybe just crazy. But he wasn't stupid. Oh no. Rosco and stupid have nothing to do with each other. And Lord help the ones who make that mistake. Just cause he's nine doesn't mean that he lacks it where it counts.

Amy sighted a bit glad as she reconised Itami's footsteps. She didn't want to admit it but she had been worried for her new daughter. She knew she shouldn't be, she knew Itami was a big girl that could handle herself but still... A soft smile crossed her lips. It was easy to care for these people, these people that had also gone through misery. These people that needed her as a mother. Hearing the other footsteps a frown lined her features. Who would be there with Itami? Feeling the wind she noted that it was a boy carying a girl. "Twins" she whispered smelling their blood. She slowly stood up as she heard a low breathing of Itami. A small sight left her as she ran her hand through Itami's hair. "She didn't even eat" she whispered. Turning her head to Rosco she sighted. She softly leaned over and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Play nice" she told him. She didn't know if it was the right thing to do, after all she only knew that Itami and Anila had excepted her. How would the youngest feel of her?

Kiho whirled and stabbed his tanto into the ground about half an inch away from the boy's toes. then he looked at the boy with his cold, red eyes and said, "Don't touch her again, she isn't dead, and if you even hint at it again, you will be." Then he pulled his Tanto out of the ground and sheathed it, turning back to Kiho as he did so.
Kiho stirred slightly and her eyes opened slowly. Suddenly they shot open and she jerked into a sitting position, looking around hurridly before her gaze settled on Hiro.
"You're at Itami's home," Hiro said, answering the unasked question.

Rosco didn't flinch. Not a nerve in his body twitched. As if he was used to this kind of threat. "Oh my. Someone's touchy today. It looks like it's reincarnated itself alone." Rosco yawned bored somewhat. He pouted at Amy and gently removed her hand. Well, gently might be an over statement. "Playing nice isn't something that agrees with me." Having been an orphan for the majority of his life, Rosco found it more than difficult to accept a 'mother' substitute into the family. Someone who was always hanging around his shoulder. 'Don't do this, don't touch that. Don't play possum in the road at night. Don't run between moving cars. Don't kill that child's rabbit.' But oops. He already had.

Lance took the time to glance over at the other twins. He lifted his chin, glancing back at the other pair. It wasn't exactly annoyance he was feeling. Not quite anger, either. But nonetheless, he shifted to keep himself between his sister and the newcomers.
Lacey laid a hand on her brother's shoulder, smiling. "Get that chip off your shoulder, brother dear. If Itami says they're okay, that's good enough for me." She said it with the slightest hint of meaning in it - if she thought so, Lance better think so too.
Meeting people on the street was one thing, but if those people were brought to their home, Lacey at least tried to treat them with courtesy.
Lance subsided. His sister could wind him down that way, and she seemed to be the only one. He trusted her judgement - sometimes.
As though he had voiced his agreement out loud, Lacey smiled up at him before turning her gaze to the two strangers. Lifting a brow at Rosco, she said, "You don't have to play nice. But if you can't at least be civil to Itami's friends, maybe you ought to just shut up."
Of all her family members, the one she had the most difficulty being kind to was Rosco. He just irritated her.
She turned her attention to the newcomers.

Amy sighted at Rosco's reaction. But she could understand, she knew his past thanks to Itami. "Just don't kill them" she whispered instead

"Rosco, the boy cares for his twin dearly. Please do not anger the new comers, it wont do us any good" Itami mumbled in her sleep. She had a habit of doing strange stuff like answering questions while she was in her little dreamland. She woke up and yawned, gazing at everybody. Her eyes stopped on Kiho and smiled. "Everyone, this is Kiho and Hiro. Dare try to hurt them, kill them, or purposely piss them off-" Itami glared at Rosco for a second. "-you will be punished. Especially on killing. I find them dead in the morning then the killer is being thrown off a cliff. Understand?" she finished, looking around once more.

Hiro stood and walked out saying, "I don't need anyones help to keep my family safe.
Kiho watched him go sadly, wondering why he couldn't handle others wanting to help them, maybe it was because they reminded him too much of father.

The child simply put on his little innocent smile accompanied by a 'who moi?' expression. Well. They were no fakes. The guy looked like he meant business. Hiro reminded Rosco too much of Lance. Speaking of which Lacey's unexpected outburst had somewhat put off the youngest member of Itami's family. His face took on a stoic expression and you could visibly see his body go rigid. He knew Lacey had an issue with him. But most people did. Rosco was used to being 'that crazy kid' that everyone stayed away from. Perhaps he liked twins the least cause they had someone who was a protector and understood you even when you ran screaming out of the room because there was a window in it. Maybe, dare he think it, maybe Rosco was actually jealous of Lance and Lacey and now Hiro and Kiho. Whatever. He'd as soon cut his own tongue out than admit it.

Itami saw the envy in Rosco's eyes and her own brown orbs softened. She knew that Rosco didnt know how it felt to have someone protect him. He always had to fight for himself. He sorta reminded her of herself. She used to think taht no one ever cared for her, but after she made the family it all changed. Itami got up and walked over to the youngest member of the family. She bent down to his eye level, giving him a warm smile. Itami didnt say a word, she didnt need to. All she did was pull Rosco into her arms. She didnt know how he would react to the hug, she just hoped he didnt attack her for it.

Kiho looked at Rosco and Itami, and felt slightly jealous, Hiro wouldn't ever hug her, or let her hug him, he would deftly avoid her arms and walk away. She looked down at the floor and moved her body so that she was sitting on her legs, with her hands bracing herself against the floor.

[Aw. Thats a nice Hallmark moment between murderers.]
Excepting another chastising for his 'bad behavior' Rosco only looked up slowly at Itami. So you can imagine the surprise when Itami actually smiled at him. Whoa. Where did that come from? And to add the hug on top of that was equally astonishing. Rosco felt like ramming something sharp through this stranger's head but he didn't. More so out of shock than mercy. But actually this hug felt....nice. No, nice wasn't exactly the right word. Maybe good would work better. After Rosco managed to get his mind back under his control, the child managed to form a sentence, or something like it. "...Who are you and what have you done with the real Itami?" It could have sounded serious, insulting, or incredulous, but there was surprisingly no emotion behind it what so ever. Rosco had only gotten his mind back, you know. Not his attitude. But that was coming.

[LOL HALLMARK! XD]
Itami felt Rosco tense up, but he soon relaxed. When she heard him speak she laughed. "Im the real Itami, but I think I may have left my brain in the hotspring" Itami joked. What was her escuse? The family was making her soft, yaaa tahts it. Blame the family when all goes wrong. She still had her sarcasm in her, thankfully. "So, you alright? You've been glaring at both set of twins for fifteen minutes" she asked with a small laugh. She found it adorable when her family fights. Sure it had its down sides, like how she had to break the fight up. Now that was just one living hell super sized.

Kiho watched Itami for a moment trying to decide weather to look for her brother.
Hiro walked out to the edge of the forest and looked at the nearby city. Memories of his father was running through his head, good memories, then the memory of the news of his father's death. And the time after when their mother finally snapped and hit Kiho. Hiro clenched his fists and punched a nearby tree.

Amy noticed Kiho's behavioure and gave a small nod at the girl. She softly reached out and petted her head. "Don't worry, I'll go after him" she whispered. Another gentle smile crossed her lips before she took off after Hiro. Her ears immediatly picked up his footsteps then the tree. She sighted a bit and stopped a few feet away from the boy. "Hiro-kun... What's wrong?" she softly asked
