"Yurikami should be with Shukaku, but I want you all to come to these quordinates. She needs to know that no matter what, she's still one of us. Nee-chan... Come too"
I sat up in bed. When had we come back here? I couldn't remember. My head throbbed a bit and rang with Kyuubi's words. I hated that guy at the moment. What right did he have interrupting my dreams especially when they were not dammed dreams.
"Hach...i," Maki groaned sitting up in her bed, "Hachi what's wrong?"
"Kyuubi......sssshouted in my head," I answered putting my forefinger to my temple trying to quiet the storm of throbs, "Lookssss like Yuri might return. Maki I will not force you to come."
"Hachi please don't leave me alone!" Maki nearly yelled.
"I underssstand," I answered, "Get dresssed and we'll go."
"Good," Maki answered.
I dressed in the bathroom and came out to see Maki in a new red kimono. I smiled. I hadn't smiled this much in so long. The last time I smiled was when I was with Arame my sister so long ago.
"Hachi I like it when you smile," Maki smiled.
"Let'ssss go," I answered grabbing her hand. It was a simple teleportation jutsu and in a split second we were insight of Shukaku. He seemed to have everything under control, but I did not leave.
"Yuri-chan!" Maki said running to Yuri. I guessed they needed "girl time" as I learned from Maki.
"Thissss issss not the place to ssstop," I hissed.
"Stay away from my daughter!" someone yelled slapping my face. I sighed. Women these days.
"Mama don't! Hachi is a friend!" Yuri's voice yelled.
"Oh.....I'm sorry......" Yuri's mother said backing away.
"That'ssss what motherssss are for though," I answered smirking a bit, "they protect their children."
"You are a snake," Yuri's mother said continuing to back away.
"Yessss and?"
"Yuri has made.....good friends," her mom said finally.
"Do you think Kai got the message?" Maki asked.
"I don't know. I don't have any idea how far Kyuubi sent the message," I answered.
"hm." Maki answered.
