"Know what?" Mitsu honestly looked confused as she rested her head on Yuki's shoulder to look up at his face. "Parenting?" Why would Neko need to know how to be a parent....unless. It finally struck her and her eyes grew wide with the realization. "H...He still thinks.." Mitsu trailed off looking at Neko's retreating back. "But he said he heard what the doctor said." Mitsu said quietly. "She said nothing happened." Now that really was confusing. What had Neko heard unless he had walked up at the very beginning. He must not have stayed through the whole thing to find out the true diagnosis.
"So he still thinks I'm...uhh...you know." Mitsu spoke as quietly as possible so no one else could hear. Apparently she was still rather embarrassed about the whole situation but it had been a relief to realize nothing had happened. Though it was rather awkward that the only people that knew and thus the other people she could talk to were the boys in the group. "We should tell him shouldn't we?"

Blinking over towards Poke, Blade tilted his head some. After watching Poke walk off to search for her staff, he thought for a moment before walking off after her. Yuki probably didn't want to be held back much, so he figured that he'd try to help out some.
"Need some help Poke?" he asked while moving to catch up a bit, "I can be pretty good at retrieving things."
Of course, he was somewhat referring to something else. But in any case, he kinda had a knack for finding things.

"Cursed, huh?" She looked around at her 'friends' and pondered. She immediately eliminated Mitsu and Neko and continued on. Hitsu? Bah, parish the thought. Hitsu couldn't harm a fly. Yuki? Mm... It didn't seem too likely. He never struck her as a man who'd confront his problems in such a cowardly manner... Blade? Why would Blade...
And then her eyes met Poke, who had just turned around. The hesitation in her voice... Was very suspicious. She locked on as Poke hastily made her way to the bushes. "Hmm..."
Atticus also noticed the girl rushing off after he'd mentioned the cursing part. "I'll bet you a drink your problem clears up in a few minutes." Atticus whispered to Riyo.
Riyo looked back at him and then back in the direction Poke had disappeared in... And started walking in that direction. "Hey Poke. Need any help?" Her voice spoke of any other intentions she might've had, so she didn't have to.
"Oops." Atticus mumbled, lacking the emotion that said he actually cared.

poke hadn't realised she been followed by blade or riyo for a few minutes. She had stopped, and then fishing her pocket she took out the amulet that was there. It looked just the same as before. She turned it around to examine it more, and wondered now if it was a good time to throw it away. She had no desier to hurt anyone, and if this was the cause their aliements...
Blade and riyo's voice made her turn around, and she seemed...a little slackgawed. Perhaps her excuse wasn't so grand now. "R- riyo! blade!" looking at the item in her hand and back at riyo, she deduced this didn't look to good for her character. "T-this isn;t what you think!"

As Mitsu went about explaining in short what had happened at the doctor, a smile tugged at Yuki's lips. So, that was how it had happened, then. Nothing had gone wrong, thank God, but Neko wasn't aware of that. Even better, Neko had apparently gotten side tracked before he learned that he wasn't responsible for knocking up one of his flings. "I see..." Yuki said, to himself really. He nodded slightly to Mitsu's hesitant question of Neko's mistake, "Which explains his attitude."
However, when asked if Neko should be informed of the truth, Yuki gave Mitsu a sly grin. "Nah, I think we'll just let him squirm for a little while. Maybe it'll teach him a lesson." Of course, Yuki knew that eventually the truth would be realized, and when that time came there might be suspicions on who might have been stringing him along.
Oh well, it'd be worth it, right?
"Just play along with it, what harm could it do?"

After glancing over towards Riyo for a moment, Blade gave Poke a blank stare before letting out a sigh. Shaking his head a bit, he quirked an eyebrow and spoke up.
"Well... you aren't here to look for your staff. That's kinda a given."
Slowly stepping forward a bit, he watched Poke a little more. Considering things, he probably couldn't do a sleight of hand so easily here, so he decided to try for a more direct approach. A much more direct approach. Once he was a few feet away from her, he darted forward to try and snatch thing she was hiding. Though he was pretty agile normally, the two bags he was carrying weighed him down some. He just hoped he could still be fast enough to get what he wanted here.

Bored staying with the group Tobi decided to follow after Blade and Riyo. Bounding after them through the brush he gave out a happy bark as they came into view again. Running after them he ran passed them to get their attention but instead caught sight of Poke and something in her hands. At first he thought it might have been food but upon a closer look saw it was something shiny. Suddenly extremely focused Tobi stooped low to the ground his rear in the air, tail wagging furiously. From the looks of it he wanted to play and possibly play fetch with how he was looking at the item in Poke's hands.
Unsure about what Yuki was telling her Mitsu furrowed her brows in thought a frown tugging at the corners of her mouth. It didn't seem right to keep Neko in the dark about the truth but she wasn't about to disobey Yuki and tell him. "O....okay." She said softly tightening her grip around his shoulders out of tension. At least she seemed to be feeling better. The burning sensation was wavering but her stomach was still churning due to being sick only a few moments ago.

Although in truth, she had done nothing wrong, she still didn't expect blade to make a grab at the amulet. As he swiped her eyes widened, and didn't make any attempts at trying to protect it. When her brain began to work some more she started to explain;
"While neko and riyo was out, I was with hitsu and mitsu and we first saw the dragon dude in this little antique shop. He broke one of the shop owner's protection amulets and changed it into that...then proceded to throw it at us." She stumbled a bit here and then stood up ore straigtly, and spoke a little louder. "It's supposed to be a protection amulet, and it doesn't hurt to have somehting like that these days. I've already been bitten by a imp."

Even though he was weighed down, the element of surprise helped him out quite a bit apparently. Clutching the object in his hand, Blade opened his palm to see a cross-shaped amulet of sorts. As he stared down at it, he could feel some strange vibes coming out of the thing. When Poke spoke up on what it was exactly, it explained that quite well.
"Interesting..."
For a moment the thief looked at Poke while holding onto the amulet loosely.
"So that dragon from before made this?"
It seems a little odd in a way, considering how he was acting towards Yuki earlier. But he supposed there was a lot more he was missing from this story all around.
"But... why were you trying to hide this then?"

"Because it's supposed to protect from things like me." Came a voice from behind a tree. Riyo figured it wouldn't hurt to listen in before just storming up to Poke and bashing her teeth out.
"So Poke. Were you planning on using that?" Her figure appeared and slowly began walking in the two's direction. "Figured you could maybe use it if I got outta hand? Mm? That it?" All the while walking up, she couldn't help but claw at her arms the closer she got to the goddamn thing.
"Cause there won't be an amulet strong enough to save you after I finish ripping out your intestines and feeding them to the canine." She hissed out the last part, fist clearly clenching.
... And then, something happened. "... Ugh... Hold that thought." She mumbled and ran over to some bushes, vomiting sounds echoing behind her.

Tobi gave anther bark leaping straight in the air looking at the object in Blade's hands excitedly. Apparently he wanted it as he circled around and then lunged at Blade aiming to place his front paws on his leg in a rather harsh manner to allow him to get a closer look at the object in his hands which he tried to snap at lightly with his teeth. He tried to be careful not to bite Blade's hands but the shiny object was far to interesting to ignore and would more than likely fetch him a nice treat. Stuff like that always did.

"...because I didn't seem like the kind of thing I should be showing around" poke finaly said to blade. "I didn't want people to get the wrong idea..." Bascily she ment riyo, but, as they say "speak of the devil"
Poke almost jumped out of her skin when she saw her apporach. and she was looking pretty...murderous. At first, she looked guilty, but then as riyo continued her face changed to something more serious. After all, hadn't riyo tried to kill her just last night?
After being directly threatened, she felt a little angry herself. If she was the type of person to do something like that, wouldn't she have done it by now?
"Thats not true riyo, and you know it!" poke angrily said back. "I'm not the type of person to stab someone in the back like that". She paused as riyo suddenly made a beeline for the nearest busy. Sighing, she turned to blade. "Could you get rid of that thing? theres no point in me keeping it if It's just gonna jurt everyone and-" she paused as tobi appeared to have a different objective in mind.

Silently, Blade watched as Riyo approached Poke in a rather menacing manner. He listened to the two, not entirely sure of what to say at this point in time.
The thief was about to speak up when Riyo suddenly had to vomit all of the sudden... just like how Mitsu did not too long ago. Quirking an eyebrow lightly at this little connection, a few suspicions arose, but he didn't have much time to speculate it. As he suddenly felt two sets of rather sharp claws digging into his thigh.
Cringing, and staggering back a little, he looked down to see Tobi trying to get the amulet out from his hand. The dog sure seemed to want to get it for whatever reason, though he wasn't entirely sure if giving it would be a good idea considering things.
"Not now Tobi... Down.. " he said through gritted teeth. With his free hand, he rummaged around to find a scrap of food he might be able to distract the dog with, though the canine had already eaten quite a bit that day.
"Poke, can you go see how Riyo's doing?"

Tobi gave a bit more of a demanding bark as he stepped down to only jump up again pawing at Blade's side. He was bound and determined to get the little trinket whether Blade wanted him to have it or not. Jumping back down again quickly Tobi stepped back a few feet and took a flying leap at Blade his teeth trying to close around the amulet.

nodding at blades request, (and somewhat unsure wheather this was a good idea or not), poke tentively moved towards the spot were riyo was emptying her stomach contents. Peaking from behind a tree, she assed weather she really was alright or not
"riyo...Iare you alright? I'm sorry about the amulet..we're gonna get rid of it now..."
