Mysteries of Daraku

"Funny that you mention that. The yukionna originated from the vast land from where I am from." She continues to observe the snow bunny from where she stands before turning towards Dixi again. "Any other artifact of interest that you wish to show me?"

"Mmm... She had another one that contained a cute pet... But I don't remember which one was it..." she said looking around the room.

"I do not wish to disrupt the fun but I do not wish to stir around this room longer than necessary." Yumi still seems to be rather uneasy while in this room.

"If you are not feeling safe we can just leave you just have to say it..." she said worried.

Meanwhile Ix woke up on her room and sees a note from Dixi, 'I took two of your communication runes, hope you don' t mind me tweaking them a bit' "I wonder what is she going to do with the stones... I should go ask her..." but Xana stopped her, "She's having an intimate moment with Yumi, let's wait here..."

Ix was surprised from seeing Xana in her room, "What brings you here Xana? You don't usually enter other room than yours..." "I was feeling lonely, oh by the way about the stones, she gave one to Kathrynne and tweaked it so she could only talk to you." "I see... I'll thank her later." she replied smiling.

She nods relieved of the offer to vacate the room. Again she takes a glance over the artifact with a cautious look before taking Dixi's hand. "I had a moment with a cursed artifact. It wasn't a pleasant experience and left me with a bit of paranoia around those that I do not understand."

She hugged her, "Don't worry, I understand..." she looked at her and then both left the room, seeing Yumi still tense, Dixi decided to make a joke, "Well normally there would be one more room but we already saw that one, the 'games' room." She joked hoping to get Yumi to smile and relax now that they were on the hallway.

Yumi already started relaxing once they were out of the artifact room. She wasn't sure what Dixi was expecting from the joke except probably not this. Dixi sudden finds herself pinned to the wall of the hallway by Yumi before she find her lips seized by Yumi's red ones in a rather brief but passionate kiss before parting. "Does that mean I win that round?" She teased.

She really wasn't expecting that, that kiss sure made her head spin to the point she couldn't even make a sentence, "I... Ah I... I ah..." she could only stay there with a dumb smile on her face.

She wasn't sure how to snap Dixi out of her lovestruck trance so is content to wait until she finally gets her thoughts together, although it is rather funny to see her at this state of mind.

Dixi shaked her head, "W-Whoah... Hell yeah you won the first round, and second, third, final, the tournament, damn never felt so good in my life." she was still feeling a bit lovestruck.

(Are we sure Yumi isn't a Midara? XD)

((nah she just knows how to use the kiss no jutsu ))
"But we haven't started on the main event." She slips her hand into Dixi's. "Is there any other place for us to tour?"

(Generic Porno music plays! XD)

(She may not be a midara but Dixi is weak to her so like she was xD)
"Well... Unless you want to see the storage closet..." she said while still recovering from the lovestruck state she was in.

"Hmm we can pass on that unless there is something particular interesting about it or within...unless it is powerful artifact." This time she is simply stating the exception rather being uneasy as she is not near them this time.

"Nah, it's just a normal closet, actually it's the most normal room on the entire house..." she replied back to normal, "Want to go back with the others?"

Yumi nods. "Yes let is return." She gives Dixi a hug this time so not to blow her mind. "Thank you for giving me this tour." (from here you can proceed without me since I will be at work).

(Alright, gl at work.)

Dixi returned the hug and then both walked back to the main hall where the others were waiting, "Sorry for keep you all waiting."

Meanwhile Ix found the other end of the stone Dixi gave to Kathrynne, "Hello? Can you hear me?"

Kathrynne was sat down in a chair as the pair re-entered the room. Jane was kneeling over Victus, who seemed to be asleep rather than unconscious, waiting for him to awaken. She had been idly rolling hwe hand over the orb as Ix spoke to her, and it spooked her a little, causing her to rock back in her seat, almost falling out of it, but grabbing onto a sturdy side table to stop her from toppling. She tried to make it look intentional, as she casually leaned against the side table whilst maintaining the chair tilt.

"Good morning, sleepy head." Kathrynne responded into the orb. "How are your little dreamy cute puppies doing?" She asked, grinning on her chair, whilst sending an accompanying grin along with her message.

Dixi noticed Kathrynne's reaction and whispered to herself "Ix must be already awake judging from her reaction."

Meanwhile Ix, "W-What's wrong with dreaming about puppies." she replied blushing slightly.

Kathrynne laughed quietly.
"It's very... you." She responded. "But don't worry. After a night with me, I'm sure puppies will be the last thing on your mind." She teased, sending a wink along with it. A maniacal grin grew on her face as she held the orb.

"I-I... E-Eh... A-Ah... S-Still have to w-wait until Dixi and Yumi... Y-You know..." she didn't saw the grin but she could imagine it.

"By that grin in your face I assume you are teasing Ix, don't you?" Dixi asked chuckling.

Kathrynne put on a faux offended face.
"Who, moi? Teasing Ix? Surely you jest!" Kathrynne responded, the grin never fading.

"Well then, I suppose your dream puppies are safe. For now. Though perhaps you should encourage Dixi to make her move." Kathrynne commented. She then stopped the teasing tone, her smile shifting to something warmer. "Also, thank you Ix. For earlier." She added, throwing it out in a tone that made it seem like an afterthought, but there was clearly a lot of depth to her gratitude.

"Her... Move?" Ix didn't catch the meaning, "Also you don't need to thank me, I'm always happy to help and also... Even when the light was small it was really warm, that's always a good sign." she explained cheerfully.

(Thank goodness I found out a quick way to use the characters for Ix speaking xD)

"Oh right, I must have got wrong the meaning of that never fading grin." She jests

"Ask Xana. I'm sure she'll help you." Kathrynne suggested, letting out a small laugh on the outside. "But yes, I'm... not really used to having people try to help me, without looking to get something out of it. So yes. There is very much a need for me to thank you."
