Firaro landed as Kasumi stared at her home. It looked like ruins but inside was beautiful. The castle was huge and had every kind of vine blooming with flowers all over it. on the groung were plants gallor. Most of them fruit trees or vegetable plants. Then there were healing plants and other herbs. She then looked at Akira and smiled. "Well, home sweet home. I hope you don't mind it."

Akira came and stopped next to them, "So this is your hut?" she said. She has never seen anything to large. Anything she has seen was indeed, a hut. Behind Akira her wolf lurked in the bushes. Even though Akira had told her wolf to go, her wolf knew well enough to follow her if she left. Lucklly though the wolf seemed tired from the run and plopped on her side panting heavly. Akira looked at Firaro and Kasumi.

"Well, come inside." She said as she opened the door. a servant came and bowed to her. "Welcome back my lady. Do you wish for me to prepare a meal for you and your guests?" She asked. Firaro nodded. "Yes, and could you please have two guest rooms prepared?" The servant bowed again. "Yes my lady. It will be done. Dinner will be expected in half an hour." She then watched the servant leave and turn back to the others. "I hope you'll find it homey here. I know it's a lot different from the forest but I hope it will suffice to your liking. If you'd like I can get you clothes so you won't catch sickness?"

Akira seemed tence. Although she has seen huts, none had been as large and extravagent (can't think of a word X) As this. Then shook herself off. and nodded. " I think we will be fine, right?" She said turning to Kasumi. The touched the floor with one of her claws. "Odd." she said as she turned and poked the wall.

Firaro laughed a bit. "It's kind of my mother's home but the rest of my family couldn't stand to live here anymore after her death. I thought otherwise. My mother was Lady of the Elemental youkai but now her role has passed to me. It gets rather lonely here so I spend most of my time patroling the lands. You both are welcome here anytime."

Kasumi stared around shocked. Had it not been so long ago that I was in a palace even bigger than this or nearly equal. My family sitting around laughing. Everything so happy. And then it all disspeared it a nightmare. Kasumi felt tears well up in her eyes and choked sob rose in her throat. The girl tried to stifle it but the sob came out as a whimper and a moan of sadness. Her knees seemed to buckle and she fell down holding her face so they wouldn't see her tears. I must be strong Yet these words were weak to Kasumi. Being strong was wearing on her and she felt like everything was crashign down.

Firaro saw Kasumi break down and ran to her, then lead her to a near by chair. "What is it, Kasumi? What's wrong?" Seeing her break down like that out of no where kind of made her worried. She then looked at Akira who was examining the walls.

Akira took a second to move from her spot. Her eyes got big as she looked at Kasumi, a look of cunfusion as what to do gloomed her eyes. "Uh..." She walked over to the two and sat pretzel style. "Hey...don't cry." She said, her voice cracked. To embarrased to speak anymore. Something scratched at the door and Akira turned around. Something came through the door in a puff of smoke an then it shaped into Akira's wolf. The wolf barked at Akira and then looked at Kasumi. The wolf wimpered and walked over to Kasumi , then nudged her hand with her furry nose. Akira said, in an almost hiss. "Shht! Come here! Stop bothering her!" She said, but the wolf just licked Kasumi hand.

Kasumi sat now longer sobing but whimpering quietly tears falling. "i'm a-alright." She muttered wiping away a tear that rolled down her cheek. "Don't worry about it. I'm s-sorry t-to get a-all emotional like t-th-this." She sniffled lightly and turned her head so they couldn't see the tears. Akiras fimilar approached them and Kasumi smelt the ookami before it was next to her one minute she was crying and the next yelping and trying to scramble back. Yet the wolf licked her hand and nuzzled her. She felt something melt inside her and looked at the wolf in the eyes her kitsune (fox) senses determining whether the wolf was truly a threat. Nervously she reach out her hand and akwardly patter the wolf head stroking gently. A nervous smile was across her face.

Firaro drew her brows together and watched her pet the wolf. She then stood up and called a servant. "Get Ms. Kasumi some hot tea, please." She then watched as the servant girl leave and looked to Kasumi. "Kasumi, would you mind if I talked with Akira alone? I promise we'll come right back."

Kasumi smiled up at her hostess. "No I don't mind at all. You've done enough i don't want to intrude on you either." She said and she scritched the wolf behind the ears. Yet even though she said ti was alright, somewhere in the back of her mind Kasumi wondered if they were mad at her and that was why the need for privacy. Oh dear! Kasumi thought. I hope I haven't done anything wrong.

Akira nlinked. The wolf looked up and tilted her head to the side. Her flopps ears folding over oddly. "Ya sure...." She said looking slightly heasitant. As if something wasn't right, like it was a trap or something. But she followed her into the next room.

Once Firaro closed the door she turned around and looked straight into Akira's eyes. "I know you see it too. There's something not right about her. She practically jumped when your familiar came up to her. What do you think happened? I think something attacked her when she was smaller or something is hunting her now. I'm sorry to bother with this but I can't help but see if you realize it too." Firaro said. She couldn't help but keep worrying. It was her duty to see what was wrong with her land and it's people, to help what ever hardship came her way and help everyone through it. She couldn't help but think if whatever that Kasumi is afraid of might come hurt her or is part of some evil scheme somewhere in the world.

AKira's eyebrows mushed together as she listened. "Its only because my wolf was mean to her eariler." She said taking a small step back. "Nothing to worry about, if there was, she would tell."

"All right, I suppose your right." She sighed as she sensed a little fear coming from Akira. "You don't have to be frightened you know. It's my duty to protect my land and it's people." Deciding not to bother with the subject anymore, Firaro just shook her head and said "Come on dinner's ready. I can smell the meat from here." She said as she walked out the door to meet Kasumi. "Well, I hope your hungry. The cook always fixes something more than filling. She always tells me that I'm way to skinny and I should eat a lot more. Of course, once she sees you two, she going to throw a fit." She said, laughing a little. It was true, her cook always did get on her case about her abnormal thinness. Of course, it would surprise Firaro that despite all the things she ate from the cook, she never got any heavier but also went to bed with a full stomach. :sigh: I wish I knew someway to make them trust me. I guess they are used to strangers but I guess I can cope. I just need to give them a little room, after all, I have been lonely for 20 years or more. I guess I've just been missing company is all.
