Darian looked in suprise at the new Enma, truthfully he had never thought of Enma as either a boy or a girl only as, Enma. Nevertheless he was suprised at her secrect and her apparant beauty, it was almost an insult really that he hadn't even guessed that she was a girl. He was also suprised the her snake wasn't with her, but he figured it must just be recovering, he knew that it vanished to somewhere else when it got was injured until it regained its strength. 

 Darian considered what Enma said, it was true hardly any children remained in the village and he was well aware of the Akahimes ablities and he has always felt a some sort of hostility from them, knowing that they might be ordered to kill him at anytime might be a good reason for that. A glace at Ogen revealed only anger, but she shouldn't be angry if Enma was just lieing... right?

 Darian blinked and was suddenly behind Tama and swung his hand at the back of Tama's neck knocking the guard unconcious, "I'm sorry Ogen-sama, I find these bedtime stories of her's most interesting and I would like to hear some more, afterall if they are just bedtime stories then what harm are they to listen to?" Darian now stood between the Iga village and Enma waiting for Ogen's responce, and prepared to defend Enma from either Iga or Kouga.
