*hands Chokora a lovely Chocolate turtle*
*while Hizuki isnt looking steals Kyoko aways and replaces her with Chokora*

kyooooooooooko-sama? where would you like to visit today? the beach? the hotel? *niko-nikooooo*

~ almighty {{Widoshiiku}}

Ah, Chokora-chan! *pats Chokora* If there's a chocolate land, let's all go there for a day ^_^ And have a picnic. We can eat chocolate biscuits. But before that...

*sees Kyoko-sama* Kyoko-sama~ *glomps Kyoko* There's a present for you over there. *is referring to Sakataki* Right next to the closet. *niko*

~ Hizuki

*bounces in and glomps onto Youjyu*

Chokora doesn't think it's fair that there isn't a Chocolate Stranger. Chokora thinks there should be an honorary Stranger spot made for her; so she can be head of a chocolate-loving clan and live in a chocolate land, niii. XD

Don't worry that Chokora doesn't have a staff on her own; Chokora will just dunk this thing *waves Staffy* in chocolate for that. X3

~Chokora

*hauls Sakataki back inside, along with Hizuki* THAT closet. *points* {Indeed, there is a closet there. One that's just big enough for two people crammed face-to-face.}

Now, Hizuki, help me with this? *cute smile* Go get the Princess. I'll see what I can do about this *pokes Sakataki* stubborn root.

I can be just as stubborn as you, and probably just as strong, Sakataki. <3

~ Youjyu

BROTHER!!! There's nothing to be jealous of...hmph. AAAHHHH!!! Not THOSE pictures!!! *spazzes* *grabs for pictures*

Closet? What closet? Hehehe...I don't remember hearing anything about a closet...O_o.

Let's. Go. NOW. *forces Hizuki along out the door*

~ Sakataki

*looks hurt* Youjyu, do you dislike me because I'm a mazoku? *sobs* I'm glad you won't attack me, but I hope you will refrain from attacking the rest of the mazoku when they don't offend you. *holds out pictures of Sakataki playing in the springs* Here. Little Sakataki is so adorable! =3 Sakataki-kun~ *looks for Sakataki so he can glomp him* And we must not forget the closet business.

~ Hizuki

Thank you, Hizuki. *sparkle* If you weren't a mazoku, I'd kiss you.

Now, Sakataki, Princess, it'll just be easier if you'll cooperate... *fiendish grin* I'd hate to have to use force, of all things, to get you into that closet. You might get bruises.

And Hizuki, I will make no promises about the mazoku. I can promise you that I won't attack you, as long as you're well-behaved, but that's all. *niko*

~ Youjyu

*refuses to go out* Kyoko-sama, you should be happy... because Sakataki-kun is jealous! *grins* Sakataki-kun, you should just confess to Kyoko-sama~ *pats Sakataki* And I, being your brother, shall help you! *takes out several locks* Let me see, which one should I use... Youjyu, while I keep them in the closet, *evil smile* I can hand you those photos of Sakataki playing in the springs ^_^ Eye candy! But please promise not to attack the mazoku, ne? *genki*

~ Hizuki

*is pushed out the door* Let's hope that nobody locks us anywhere together, ne Sakataki-kun...? *nervous lauugh*

and who made me YOUR Kyoko-hime, Widoshiiku *pokes him* eh?

Hmmph! I'm with Sakataki on this one - we'd better get going, heck, we won't find any strangers by standing around talking about my *cough* relationship *cough* with Sakataki-kun! *grabs Sakataki and Hizuki and leads the way* Let us depart!

~ Kyoko

YOUR Kyoko-sama???? I BEG TO DIFFER!!!! She if far more MY Kyoko-hime than yours =P. Besides it wasn't my idea to be locked in a closet with her. *shifts nervously* *wonders if they'd actually succeed in getting both of them in a closet* *bright redness*

Gah!! Let's just go find those strangers and stop thinking about Kyoko-hime and I. *pushes Kyoko and Hizuki towards the door*

~ Sakataki

o.o;; you may not those two in a closet!! *glares at Sakataki* you ugly hyena you dont deserve to be stuck in a closet w/ MY Kyoko-sama!!!

~ Widoshiiku

Karen-san, welp, I sew/made them all by myself! Creative me, ne? Ohohoho~! XD

Neweyz, Youjyu, I have a question for you: I'm wondering this lately or probably I haven't just read the news but, have you given up your love for Sakataki-kun? Well anyway, (you can forget the question if u like) it's a cute idea to lock them up (kyoko and sakataki) in a closet and we won't open the door whatsoever until they kiss! *heart*

Well then, when shall we start on this forever-will-be-planned mission? ^^;;

~ Ginga

*sits down* I'm tired of the romantic tension. Mizuno, Karen, what do you say? I think we should lock the two of them up in a closet. A very small closet. With an indestructible door so that they can't escape.

*waves pictures* Or I could just copy these and spread them around the kingdom, I suppose. But we're not going to get anything done, really, until Kyoko and Sakataki actually say that they like eachother. Because I still haven't gotten my chance to trash another Clan, so I don't even know why I'm sticking around here.

Karen, Mizuno, we can lock them in and then go find that Bird Stranger. And Hizuki, don't let them out when we do lock them in, all right? Or I'll test how some of these herbs work on mazoku.

~ Youjyu

Oh, sorry about that. I was daydreaming about those flowers over there *points* I'd love to go with You and Mizuno, Youjyu. Do you really think we'll find the two strangers over here? *giggles* Those plushies are adorable, Ginga, where ever did you get them? Oh but wait..where did the Sakataki-plushie go?

~Karen

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! *goes red and sweatdrops* I don't like Sakataki, he is just an excellent bodyguard, is all *huff* I don't think that gender groups would work because then I would be seperated from my bodyguards, and the king wouldn't like that at all ^^;

I believe Sakataki-kun has had a good suggestion when it comes to groups, with two groups out there (Youjyu's group looking for the Snow Stranger, My group searching for the Bird Stranger) we will get some good results without a doubt! *pose*

*makes sure nobody is looking and slowly 'borrows' the Sakataki plushie from Sakataki* -- Just for safe keeping! ^^;

~ Kyoko-hime

Aha! Gotcha! (sakataki sneaking kyoko plushie) Why are you hiding your feelings toward Kyoko-sama anyway? What are we having here, a long soap opera? O_O

Well I guess your idea would be fine. It's boring without girls since I always tease them. I want to be in Kyoko and your group so I can tease them even more *chuckles*

~ Luvable Ginga

*blush blush blush* *snatches kissing Kyoko and Sakataki plushies away from Ginga* Wha-What do you think you're doing with those???!!!! *looks around to make sure know ones looking and secretly hides away Kyoko plushie in his jacket*

Youjyu, you can't blackmail me with those pictures!!!! *mutters to himself* Well, maybe I'll tell her someday...but not yet...

Ummm...Ginga-kun, I don't think seperating groups into boys and girls will work since bodyguards stick with Kyoko-hime and since us bodyguards are guys and Kyoko here is a girl, that simply won't be possible. =P Since Youjyu-san and Karen-san both expressed slight distaste towards birds, perhaps their group should search for the Snow stranger while Kyoko-san's group tries to find the Bird stranger. What do you think, minna-san?

~ Sakataki

I'd love to go with you Youjyu! Can Ginga be in our group as well? ^^

Kyoko! Your love for Sakataki is so obvious! *smiles* The two make such a cute couple, ne minna! *^^*

~ Mizuno

I agree with Youjyu-san!! *chokora scrubs his back* You DO sound jealous Kyoko-sama *teases* Well in THAT case *pulls Sakataki-kun and Kyoko-chan plushie and makes them kiss* XD ehehehe...

And about the grouping thing, in my opinion I think that girls would have their own seperate group from the boys (so that the girls can have their girl talk while we boys can have our boy thing).. isn't that a kewl idea widoshiiku-sama!? (I can be with you all night!! muwahahaha.. who knows what happens?) *is beaten up by the fangirls in widoshiiku's fanclub* oucchh!! get away frum me!! you're just jealous!! *sticks out toungue* Eh!?!? where's that wonder boy anyway? O_O

~ Ginga

Oh well. I still have the pictures, don't I?

Princess, you sound almost jealous. I think you do like Sakataki! Okay, I'll lead one of the groups. Mizuno, will you come with me? And Karen, too? You two have good attacks in case we need them.

Sakatakiiii~~! I bet you like the Princess, too! *waves pictures* I'll give these back to you if you tell her!! *niko*

~ Youjyu (-matchmaker-)

Splitting up is indeed a good idea! *clutches at the Time Scorpion Cane and glares at Youjyu* You in Sakataki's group...? eh, eh hehe ^^;;; Ummm, maybe you shou-- or you coul-- there is always the possi--.....!

Ne, Youjyu-san, maybe you could go with a second party, if we split into two groups and I go with one and you with the other, they are both bound to have good leadership in us *pose* XD Anyone else have any prefferences to what group they go in? Except bodyguards, who must stay with their Princess *eyes Sakataki* :o *votes Ginga goes with the group that will not go anywhere near hot springs or televisions* ^^;

~ Kyoko

Go-men minna! I've been silent this past few days because I've been busy doing all those medical studyings and watching the end of my favorite soap opera *sigh* I'm too tired right now.. hmm.. probably I'll go and have a hot jacuzzi or probably an aroma bath.. anyone care to scrub my back? *eyes on widoshiiku-sama* XD

~ Ginga's revival!

Hmmm...splitting up into groups seems like a good idea. Since we're up in the mountains, I suppose the Snow stranger should be around as well. I guess I a lot of people don't like birds so perhaps anyone that doesn't want encounter any can search for the other stranger. In any case, I am obligated to stay with Kyoko-hime, where ever she decides to go. *light blush*

Oi...Youjyu still has all those photo O_o. *ponders what he should do about that*

~ Sakataki

*rummages a bit more* Ah. Yami-san, do you know about nightshade? I haven't spoken much with you, but... I thought you might be interested.

Bird Clan... where's that Clan Leader? Perhaps you're right, Mizuno, we should split up. Can I be in Sakataki's group? Maybe he can show me how to use this thing. *waves staff around again*

~ Youjyu

Youjyu, thank you very much for your kind offer, however it appears that my dearest brother has been rather clam and quiet for the past few days. *smiles* Just the way I love him!

*nods* I don't particularly like birds myself, they are always diving/floating/swiming in the ocean eating my precious fish! Perhaps it would be a good idea to spilt up and search for the Clan in small groups.

~ Mizuno

hmm, Mitsura-san was the only person I never showed symptoms to...I thought he was my soulmate or something untill he tried to auction me off ~.~ I'm too naive.

Eep Youjyu! I hope I never get on your bad side..you have so many viles of herbs and potions...*bites lip* Yes, birds always try to destroy my flowers...>_<

~Karen

Fufufufufu. XD

I just dare Widoshiku to try and take these pictures. I need a good fight. Also, Mizuno -- I've got some really strong chamomile for Ginga, if you want it. It should calm him down.

*fiddles around with vials* Ah! Here it is! I found the crushed nettle and poison oak mixture. Perfect itching powder...

If the birdies don't want to come, we can force them to. XD Can I fight with them? Please? They're always perching on trees and being pests...

~ Youjyu
