Tynan looked up at Zigera. "No." He replied. "My sisters...well...half sisters...they told me that their parents went missing not long after I received my last letter from our mother."

Amalia blushed slightly. "I'm just not used to it yet. In my whole family, I'm the second to have grown a tail....my grandfather was the first."

Nijuu smiled warmly, as she wrapped her arms around Livia and Grey, and slowly fell asleep.

Zigera looked him in the eyes, "Want help tracking them down, I'm pretty good at that ......"

Shrike grinned, "Well then that makes you very unique. We'll have plenty of time to learn later, in the mean time, wanna go shopping, today's a special human holiday that has a theme that aligns with buying people you love stuff."

"I gave them my cellphone number, and told them to call me when they've decided." Tynan replied. "Though three months missing, is a long time.." he sat back in the chair.

Amalia nodded her head. "But we need to find the rest of my clothes first." She added with a giggle.

Shrike grinned, "Well, I could give you one of my garbs to wear in the mean time."

Zigera looked Tynan in the eyes, "Anything I can do to take your mind off of this, its not something to beat yourself up over......"

Amalia tilted her head slightly. "Oh...like?" she asked with a smile on her face.

Tynan looked at Zigera, then noticed Kerri and Kari walking into the dinning hall. Kerri looked around the room, and spotted Tynan, she turned, and stormed towards him.
"What is your problem?" Kerri demanded. "Giving your number to my sister, in hopes of having a relationship with your 'sisters'." She used air quotations when she said 'sisters'.
Tynan got up from his chair, and looked down on Kerri, still with a serious expression on his face. "You're afraid that I'm right." He pointed out. "You don't want me to help you find your parents, because you're afraid that our mother will confirm everything."
Kari placed her hand on Kerri's shoulder, with a calm expression on her face. "True, or not, he offered to help us find Mom and Dad, and we should take him up on it."
Kerri turned and glared at Kari, then began to walk away. She stopped, and looked over her shoulder to Kari. "Fine." She growled, then left the dinning hall. She walked straight to Grey's room, and banged on his door.

Grey awoke, and rushed to the door, leaving Livia snuggled up to Nijuu. He opened the door and said, "Shhh....you don't have to be so loud.....Nijuu and the little one are sleeping....."

Zigera sighed, then started to walk away, pulling a tattered cloak from the shadows over her.

Shrike reached into his closet, and took out a set of robes, ones of a Japanese origin, "These work for you?"

Amalia tilted her head slightly. "I've never worn one before." She replied, then looked at Shrike.

Tynan looked at Kari. "Hold on a second; okay?" He said to her, then walked over to Zigera, and put his hand on her shoulder. "Where are you going?" He asked her.

Kerri sighed slightly. "Sorry...I hope I didn't wake them." She whispered to Grey, when she realized that she had banged on his door, when she intended to knock.

Shrike chuckled, "I usually wear these when I wanna go freeballing in public, and still look halfway decent."

Grey sighed, "Alrigh Kerri, what is it you need at this hour."

Zigera looked back, "I'm going to go rest my body.....can't sleep, but that doesn't stop my limbs from getting soar."

Amalia giggled softly, then looked at the garments closely. "Which do you think I should wear?" She asked, as she moved her tail, which struck Shrike's leg. "I'm sorry." She said, as she turned around, and knocked over Frost.

"I need our gunblades." Kerri replied. "My sister and I are going to look for our parents." She explained.

Tynan removed his hand from Zigera's shoulder and nodded his head. "Okay." He said, then looked back at Kari, then back to Zigera. "Would you like to come with us to find their parents?" He asked.

Shrike sighed, "They're all black and white sadly.....and plain too......."

Grey walked into his closet, and took from it a massive, metal case, then walked back to her. "Inside here, I have both of your gunblades, specially crafted. They took a long time to make." He handed her the case, then stepped away.

Zigera turned, "Maybe, though you do realize, a hunt often ends in tragedy, for the hunter, and the hunted."

"I'm half hellhound, I know how this will end." Tynan replied, then looked at Kari. "They don't."

"Thank you, Grey." Kerri bowed her head slightly. "If you ever need mine and Kari's help, let us know." She said, then left, gently closing the door.
Nijuu began to stir slightly, and sat up on her elbow. "What's happening, my love?" She asked.

Amalia kissed Shrike gently. "I'm sure as soon as I put it on, you'll want to take it off."

Shrike grinned, "We'll wait until we're in the clothing stores for that."

Grey closed the door, and walked back to Nijuu, "Oh, don't worry, it was just one of the twins, asking for their gunblades. I thought I'd give them their weapons while you were sleeping, but I woke you up."

Zigera nodded, "They're gonna have to learn someday, I might as well'll help ya for that."

Amalia began to blush again. "Shrike!" She gasped, as she blushed.

Nijuu smiled warmly. "It's okay, love." She replied, as she rested her head on the pillow.

"Thank you, Zigera." Tynan said to her. "I don't think they'd let me console them when they find out."
Kerri walked back into the dinning hall, carrying the case that Grey had given her. "Come on, Kari." She called to her twin, then looked directly at Tynan. "We leave in the morning." She said to him, then walked out of the dinning hall.
Kari nodded her head, and followed her twin. "Thank you for helping us." Kari said to Tynan. "I know that Kerri seems like-"
"You don't need to explain." Tynan interrupted Kari. "We'll be waiting for you and Kerri in the morning."
Kari bowed her head slightly, then jogged out of the dinning hall.

Shrike grinned, "Hehehehehe........I love it when you blush......"

Grey crawled back into bed, and cuddled up to her. Livia was still hugging Nijuu. "She loves you....."

Zigera readied her gun, "Death is easier for me to handle than most."

Tynan placed his hand on Zigera's shoulder. "You and I have seen death before. Kerri and Kari have not seen it before."

Nijuu smiled warmly, as she gently brushed some hair from Livia's face. "I love her as well." Nijuu whispered softly, as she moved her blue eyes to meet Grey's eyes. "She's such a gentle soul...she's seen so much darkness...and if we can bring even the smallest amount of light in her life.." she paused, not knowing how she was going to end her thought.

Amalia continued to blush, as she choose the garment she wanted to wear. "Will you help me put it on?" She asked Shrike.

Shrike nodded, "Alright, spread your arms wide."

Grey placed his hand on Livia's head, "If we....if we bring light into her life, her future will be far greater."

Zigera nodded, "Yes, that we have....and that they haven't."

"I think it would be better for them to have that experience with those whom have seen it before, and whom are not out for their blood." Tynan added.

Amalia smiled, as she raised her arms. "Like this?" She asked with a slight giggle.

Nijuu smiled gently. "There will only be more light in her life after I give birth."

Zigera spun her revolver around in her hand, "True, very true."

Shrike pulled the sleeves in on her arms, then said, "Now drop your arms."

Grey kissed Nijuu gently, "Yes, and she'll have two siblings to guard and watch over."

Tynan nodded his head. "I suppose we should rest if we're to leave in the morning." He suggested.

Amalia dropped her arms. "Hmm...this feels a lot like your robe."

Nijuu smiled warmly, as she stared into Grey's eyes. "This question may be a little late...or a little early...but humor me.." she spoke as she sat up in the bed, and placed Grey's hand on her belly. "How many children do you want us to have?" She asked, as her cheeks turned red.

Shrike kissed the back of her neck, "It is a lot like my robe." He went around from, and pulled one fold one side, into one on the other, then wrapped a long, silk belt around it, tying it so that it was tight enough to hold, but not tight enough to constrict. It displayed her cleavage just enough for him if he was standing next to her, but not enough for those at a distance to see.

Zigera shook her head, "You rest, I'll be out on my midnight routine."

Grey started walking his fingers up her side, "Well, knights are immortal, so I'd say....we have as many children as we can till eternity meets us both."

Amalia turned slightly, showing off the robe. "Does it fit well?" She asked, as she moved her tail slightly.

Tynan tilted his head slightly. "Midnight routine?" He asked. "May I ask what that is?"

Nijuu began to blush, as she bit her lower lip. "Oh Grey." She giggled as he walked his fingers up her side. "I hope we don't run out of children's names." She giggled.

Shrike grinned, "Yes, and its sexy too. You tail works with it too."

Zigera rose her gun a bit, "About a twenty to thirty minute sprint without using the shadows, while shooting at my targeting drones with blanks."

Grey grinned, "We won't, worry not. In truth, lets just have as many children as suits us."

Tynan folded his arms. "That sounds...strenuous." He said, as he tilted his head. "I'm sure there are things that are just as, active."

Amalia turned around, showing off her posterior to Shrike. "Really?!" She said. "I just hope my tail doesn't rip it."

Nijuu looked at Grey. "I have something to show you...something I'm thinking of giving to Livia." She reached into her bra, and pulled out what looked like a smooth stone with a bright white four petaled flower in the center. "My mother gave it to me when I was a year old. She told me to keep it with me at all times, to remind me of her. The flower on it, they grow through out the spirit realm." She turned her head slightly. "It's the same mark I have on my neck...most spirit espers have a mark similar to this, though not all are flowers." She moved her blue eyes to Grey. "I want to give this to Livia. My mother's blessing on this will keep her safe should Genesis try to take her from us."

Zigera looked to him curiously, "Like what?" After raising her eyebrow.

Shrike grinned, "Its spacious enough, that you can move your tail at ease."

Grey looked at the charm carefully, "You're so thoughtful Nijuu.......and your mother is a wonderful person....."
