Deciding to accompany Carroll, along with Alice and Liliana, to Hama Island, Shizuka would supervise the mission to ensure nothing went awry and that they returned as soon as possible. He of course was still considered that Alice might take this opportunity to inflict harm upon her cursed weapon. The man, who introduced himself as Ian North, had went to a nearby shed to drag out a boat large enough to fit all of them on. Diesel movies, what was he talking about? [color=royalblue]"Good to know we have an ally in you, North-san. Eh, what that about diesel?"[/color] Shizuka replied. North pointed out his and Carroll's intimate scene caused a sweatdrop to appear on his head.

[color=royalblue]"Y-You heard all of that...?"[/color] He was fully prepared for explaining the situation to Liliana and Alice, as monsters it'd be nearly impossible to hide the act from them. But apparently even the rainbow knight knew of their debauchery. [color=royalblue]"I meant no disrespect, I was just essentially healing an ally!"[/color] He tried to reason. 

[color=royalblue]"A-Anyway, nevermind that now! Is there anything you can tell us about the situation on the island, anything we should know about?!"[/color] He said, attempting to change the subject.

Terauchi Temple

Atsuha had barely responded as Takeshi, embarrassed, apologized for looking upon her naked body and promptly left. She was rather confused at his reaction, and supposed it just should be taken at his lack of understanding of yokai. Something like this wouldn't bother most instances of her kind, but she wasn't in the mood to tease the young lord and allowed him to leave without a word. Atsuha decided that she had spent enough time sulking in the springs and that she should focus on what's important. Hinami heavily on her thoughts, she rose from the spring and dried herself off. Leaving sakure petals flowing all over the water, Atsuha put her kimono back on and headed back toward the temple's main grounds. 

Upon returning, she noticed more of the taskforce members had returned from their missions. She paid note at the ones who were still currently absent, including their captain. She also looked curiously at Kazennosuke, one of Takeshi's closest allies and fellow swordsman, seeing that Yuki and Io were the ones to return with him. Odd that Shizuka wasn't with them, wasn't he the one would took point on that mission? Given the man's standing, she ultimately trusted in his ability to keep himself out of trouble, and guessed that something else drew his attention. The others seemed to be discussing something, but she'd half to worry about that later, right now she had other worries to tend to.

After turning for a bit, Hinami would eventually start to calm down. [color=7bcdc8]"Tired...scared...want sister...here"[/color] She uttered, it seemed that her voice returned to normal as well. Her feral form had drained much of her chi, and with her strength depleted her primal frenzy could not sustain itself. Skarsneek and Yurine would then notice Atsuha enter the pagoda, going straight for her sister's side. 

[color=9e0b0f]"I'm here, my nee-chan."[/color] She gently said, caressing Hinami in her arms. [color=9e0b0f]"The both of you have much thanks for looking after her for me."[/color] She said to both her lover and the gravekeeper. [color=9e0b0f]"I think that the others are discussing something of importance outside. I wanted to check on my sister before anything else, but since she's calmed down perhaps now would be a good time to get a lay of matters at hand. Yurine, perhaps we can go ahead and use the herbs to further calm her mind?"[/color]

Atsuha would then etch another seal onto Hinami's forehead. [color=9e0b0f]"Gods, it's pathetic that this is all I can do, but now that I've thought about it, I believe the chaotic flow of chi created by the state of the island is what's causing her outburst to happen so frequently. Before coming here, Hinami's never fallen into this state in this way before. I didn't expect the first seal to last that long, but things as they are right now certainly aren't helping..."[/color]

After the seal was finished, she laid her sister back down on her back. [color=9e0b0f]"But, enough about that, let's use the herbs and meet everyone outside for now. I'll fill my sister in on things later."[/color]
