[h2][color=#ff0000]Jibanyan[/color] – Onwards to Battle and Certain Trouble![/h2]

Happy to receive a chance to prove himself, Jibanyan nodded and climbed onto Fuma's leg, then crawled his way up his back and onto his shoulder where the Youkai rested the bulk of his light weight. His flame-tipped tails flicked with excitement and his yellow eyes remained bright with courage as he looked at the ominous forest. With Fuma by his side, Jibanyan felt that the forest wasn't as frightening as it was before. His desire to assist Fuma in his self-appointed mission seemed to have given him a boost in confidence, though it remained to be seen whether or not the little Youkai could translate that rise in morale into meaningful contribution in battle should push came to shove.

[color=#ff0000]"Let's go, nyan!"[/color] Jibanyan replied and raised one paw in the air. [color=#ff0000]"We're ready to take on anyone and anything, nyan!"[/color] For now, whatever plan he had in mind could wait. An adventure and a mystery awaited in the woods beyond and Jibanyan was ready to tackle the challenge. No Youkai-eating lizard would scare him now. At least, that was what he was trying to tell himself over and over again.

[h2][color=#ff3333]Jinx[/color] – Attention Deficit... Ooh, Taco![/h2]

No sooner had Jinx suggested that she and Amethyst check on Sans than the redhead picked up a distinct, yet faint, noise of someone running like the wind, followed by a somewhat more audible noise of the word "taco" being repeated at high speed. [color=#ff3333]"Hey, Kuro, Shiro! Did you hear that?"[/color] Evidently they did, judging from how the black and white familiars started looking around from their perches, wondering where the noises came from. It was only a bit later that the three noticed a blue, gray and white blur moving towards them. Before Jinx could even get a word in, the redhead yelped as the blur flew past her and Amethyst, nearly throwing Kuro off her head and Shiro off the purple gem's. [color=#ff3333]"Hey, watch it!"[/color] Jinx yelled, clenching her fingers and waving whatever she was holding at the blur that was already off in the distance.

[i][b]... Wait.[/b][/i]

It took Jinx a second to realize that she was actually holding something now, that something being a small bag of tacos, enough to feed her and the two familiars for the morning. Putting two and two together, the facts finally sunk into her mind. [color=#ff3333]"... Was that Sans?"[/color] she asked nobody in particular, an incredulous look on her face. Kuro's chatter seemed to affirm her guess. After all, only Sans was obsessed enough to actually consider tacos and only tacos to be a good breakfast meal. Then came another question, courtesy from Shiro. Sans was a cheerful and energetic individual, but even the white familiar thought that he was a tad more energetic than usual and she wondered if something had happened to him. Kuro certainly didn't know what had transpired, judging from the light shake of his body. [color=#ff3333]"Yeah, I have no clue,"[/color] Jinx concurred, sounding just as curious, before immediately deciding on what to do. 

With a wide, manic grin, she tossed the bag of tacos towards Kuro, letting the latter hold said bag with his jagged maw, before taking a sprint to go after the runaway Sheriff with Shiro and Kuro following suit. Turning to Amethyst, the redhead waved and shouted [color=#ff3333]"Catch you later! We'll be having a nice chat with good ol' Sheriff!"[/color] With that, Jinx bolted down the road while Shiro turned around to wave Amethyst goodbye before catching up with the excited redhead.
