"So what do I do?" Deiara asked Shukaku.
"You'll have to head back home if you can," he replied.
"And how do I do that?" Deiara asked, closing her eyes and sighing.
(With Akane)
"But sensei! This isn't fair!" Akane said, getting locked in her room for the time being.
"Next time when ya wanna torture someone, ya tell me first!" Oogie almost spat bugs out with that remark.
"It's Jess's fault!" Akane said.
"Actually, you were involved, so it's both your faults," Hybrid replied.
"Hybrid, ya keep an eye on Akane. Oogie's got business ta take care of," and with that, he walked out.
(With Jess)
"Taro, can't we talk this out?" Jess asked.
"I've got orders from Shukaku-kun, you could've hurt yourself and we wouldn't like that to happen any time soon," Taro replied calmly, not even looking back at her.
"I wasn't going to get hurt!" Jess said.
"But what if you did like when D. was around?" Taro asked.
"That?" Jess questioned, "It was only a flesh wound."
Taro sighed. "The point is, we need to go back to Shukaku's, no excuses."
