@_@;;; Ahahahahahaha! ^^;;;;; *looks around* What would give you guys the impression I liked Sakataki?! *attempts to get the hot springs photo from Youjyu* !!!! *gives up and sighs*

Back to business! If we can just touch down over there we can visit the bird clan ^^ That is a good thing... another stranger means we are another step closer to awakening Ui-hime...! :D *still wants photo, but has more pressing matters to attend to* ~_~;

~ Kyoko-hime

*looks in horror at Youjyu's Sakataki-photo-stuffed-bra* O_O!!! N-NOOOOOOOO!!!! Now I can't even try to get them back ;_;...

BROTHER!!! Don't even mention those hot springs pictures!!! *blushes heavily* You're just encouraging them more!!! GAH, and STOP. GLOMPING. ME!!!! *tries desperately to peel himself away from Hizuki*

Please, lets concentrate on finding the next stranger >_<

~ Sakataki

But Sakataki-kun~! I'm so happy I have such an adorable little brother! *glomps Sakataki* See? You're so glompable! *good-natured smile* And I didn't even give away those pictures of you playing in the hot springs... *hums*

*looks up while glomping Sakataki* Oh look! There are some people over there talking to birds! Maybe they are the bird clan.

~ Hizuki

*stuffs pictures in her bra*

No! They're too cute to give back to you, Sakataki, even if you are cute when you blush. You wouldn't want to make me cry, would you? Because I would, you know. I like those pictures.

Karen, Kyoko-sama saved you from some scummy man? Didn't you get allergies from that?

~ Youjyu

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! *reaches a new, record shade of red* BROTHER HOW COULD YOU!!!! *tries to get pictures away from Youjyu* She may NOT keep them...*doesn't dare look at Kyoko*

*continues to blush angrily while going to sit and sulk in the corner* And I am NOT glompable, hmph.

~ Sakataki

Hmm? Kyoko-sama, you like Sakataki? So you're possessive? Aww.

No wonder he kept on blushing...

We need more unclaimed men as Strangers. But, of course, the only suitable, respectable and decent Clan Heads are girls (except Sakataki, of course...), so we'll probably not have much luck.

*twirls staff in the dirt* This is depressing. ;_;

~ Youjyu

*blink* Youjyu...should you be flirting with Sakataki-kun like that? Kyoko-chan might get angry...er, she's very possessive o.o;; like that time she went to get me away from Kikurage-san. ^^; I still can't believe she did that...though he wasn't a nice person at all! *shades eyes and looks out over the side* Hey, there's a bunch of tree's over there on the mountain side...maybe the bird clan will be there?

~Karen

*sparkle* He's so cute!! Kyoko-sama, you're so lucky to have gotten to grow up with Sakataki! Thank you, Hizuki!

*hoards pictures* All mine now. Kyoko-sama, can I keep him? Please? Then we won't have to go wreck the mazoku or anything.

~ Youjyu

But Sakataki-kun~! You're so adorable when you are embarrassed! X3 Youjyu, don't you think so? *takes out something from his pocket* (whispers to Youjyu: I wanted to thank you for the leaf paste... *smiles mischievously* These are photos of little Sakataki! Do you want some?) *puppy eyes* My little brother is so glompable!

Ano... Ginga-kun, soap opera? O.O

~ Hizuki

*gets some tissue* we can't leave now... *puppy eyes* my fave soap opera is still on-going and i couldn't leave if i missed an episode! *sniff sniff* anyone can pass the popcorn please?

~ Ginga

*turns bright red* B-brother, w-whaddya mean?!! AAHHH!!! Why do you always surprise me like that!!! *tries to get away from Hizuki* Aren't you a little old for this? O_o *sigh* I suppose he'll never change...-_-;;. And Youjyu, what do you mean "before people started paying attention"??? *becomes even redder while glancing quickly at Kyoko*

Ginga-kun, I'm glad you aren't bouncing off the walls anymore! And thank goodness we left Widoshiiku behind!

Bird clan? Shouldn't we be able to see plenty of birds from up here? *looks out the window*

~ Sakataki

Mizuno, if you want to see some really nice heights, come with me when I go to see some of the trees. It's fun to climb them, and sometimes you can see for miles.

Sakataki's popular with the ladies now? Aww. And I had hoped that I'd be able to snag him before people started to pay attention.

But we should try to find the Bird Clan Leader.

~ Youjyu

Ginga-kun is back to normal! So now it's only Widoshiku, but he's not around right now. *niko*

Sakataki-kun! *glomps* Getting popular with the ladies? *winks* My dear little brother is growing up... *wipes a tear*

Kyoko-sama, your sandwiches taste wonderful! *suddenly produces a box of Middle East food* Would you like to have some Pita bread? *eats Pita happily*

~ Hizuki

Saaaaaandwiches! I'm hungry because of all that annoyance from Idiot Boy and his Sidekick.

*munches* Well, there's the Bird Clan for sure, and then there're two other clans that I know about... all I know is that one's got a really fiery temper (Suffice it to say, the clan leader and I have crossed paths more than once... >.> ) and the other's got a really little kid as its clan leader. He's kinda cute, though.

~ Youjyu

Hai, thank you for the sandwich Kyoko-sama. *takes sandwich and starts munching with a cute smile XD*

So...which stranger(s) do you think we'll find out here? Or I guess I should ask, what clans are out here?

~ Sakataki

*Is happy Ginga stopped running around in his underwear* Kyoko-chan, those sandwiches look yummy =) *Helps herself to one, and chews thoughfully* Oshii!! Kyoko-chan, I never knew you knew how to cook....
Poor Mizuno-san...maybe you should lie down? *pats her on the shoulder*

~Karen

*watches Mizuno cling to her brother* I'm glad he is back to normal too, Mizuno-san! *looks out window* Getting closer to the mountains...! Anyone hungry? *pulls out sandwiches she secretly made while everyone was running around in their underwear* Want some Sakataki-kun? *offer*

~ Kyoko

*watery eyes* Brother! You appear normal again! *cries and hugs* Thank goodness you're back! *hugs*

*wipes tears away and looks out the window* o_o, we're really high up.....aren't we? o_o;; Suddenly I don't feel too good. *clings onto Ginga's arm*

~ Mizuno

Sure thing Karen-san *beam* Your garden always looks beautiful, adding more flowers would enhance its beauty ever so much ^___^ Oh, and I'm glad to see you aren't brainwashed, Ginga-san ;D Alright *struggles to get the Time Scorpion Cane from Chokora's paws* ^^;; *gives up and unties balloon* Away we go! To the mountains! :D

~ Kyoko

Mizu-chan, minna, gladly to inform you that i'm not brainwashed ^^ i'm just being hyper lately XD now let's talk business!

~ Ginga

*hides safely behind Kyoko and Youju* Whoo, my allergies seem to be clearing up ^^; Thank goodness. The mountains? How lovely =D I'm sure there will be many rare and beautiful flowers there! Oh, Kyoko-chan, could I maybe bring some back for my garden here in the castle?

~Karen

Hai Sakataki-kun! To the mountains we go! We need to find more strangers! *looks determined* *giggles as Sakataki locks the door* I suppose Widoshiiku won't be following us now ;D Are we all here? *leans over edge of ship and grabs Chokora, who is still waving Staff-- The Time Scorpion Cane around* I think that is all of us now! Let's go!!! XD

~ Kyoko-hime

ALRIGHT! *shoves everyone except Widoshiiku out the door and into the little airship* To the mountains first, Kyoko-sama?

~ Sakataki

*fumes* Brother! Stop treating the girls like that! *is completely convience that Ginga was brainwashed* So sorry everything, Ginga is not usually like this. I will try my best to fix the problem! *eyes Widoshiiku* (urges Ginga to re-read this)

Yes! Looking for the rest of the strangers is a wonderful idea. Where shall we start? Perhaps we could begin in the mountains? There are alot of birds and wonderful creatures there. (nothing beats my ocean though ^_-) Who knows what we will find.

~ Mizuno

*looks at Ginga*
*wonders if he should join*
*spots Kyoko

KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKO-sama!! *chases after Kyoko*


*.... still in his boxers (thongs? @.@)

~Widoshiiku!!

hai! hai! *nod nod* let's start finding more strangers *glares at the girls* now you sissy girls let go off me or i'll.. um... or i'll puke on you!! yeah, that's right! *laughs*

~ Ginga, the crazy dude

Ooh! *hums* Ginga-kun is in an... interesting position.

Hai, Kyoko-sama! Let's go look for more strangers. I think we'll have fun! *niko*

~ Hizuki

Ne *covers eyes and turns around* No more of this running around in boxer shorts >_o;;; Not only are you two *peeks out from behind hands and glares at thieves* starting to scare me but the King is lurking again....! I think all this is making me accept that it is time to leave the palace and go look for more strangers. Are you with me? ;D

~ Kyoko-hime
