Chiriko took a cup and filled it with pure, clean water. "Here Tasuki, you can clean yourself up, or whatever... drinking it is good because you'll never find water better then mine." He smiled and winked at her, then went back to eating.
Riku was concerned, but seeing the look on Tamahome's face, he figured that his own face would look much the same when he was worried for Nuriko. He kept his smile to himself.

Kyo just looked at Drive a bit confused. "You can't be serious. I could drink both of them no problem normally that is....but on my head." Kyo looked around the room for a moment before grabbing the two jugs of wine. He slowly walked over to the wall with a smirk on his face. He flipped up onto his hands and slowly rested himself down on his head. He took a second to make sure he was balanced before removing his hands from the floor. Before reaching for a jug his body began to grow outward. After that was finished Kyo placed a hand on the first jug and began to tip it towards his mouth. He quickly began to chug the first jug of wine. After a few minutes the first jug was finished and Kyo's face was a bit flushed. Kyo placed his hands on the ground again to steady himself again. After a moment of readjusting his weight he grabbed the second jug. He lifted it to his mouth and smiled before chugging it. As soon as it was finished he set the jug back down on the ground and placed his hands on the ground. He pushed off of the ground with his hands and landed back on his feet looking right at Drive. "Satisfied? I drank both of them while on my head." His face was returning to it's normal hue and he still had his balance. "So is that all or is there supposed to be another part to this now?"

Drive give Kyo a wry grin "No, nothing more. But the answar is no you cannot join this bandit camp." Drive hurls his sword over Kyo's head and waits for its pull. The swords pull yanks him off the throne, there is an instant of pure freedom then his hand connects with the handle and he drops to the ground in front of the door."You have power but are rash." he turns back." What if that had been poisin or some elixar, would your power save you?" he opens the doors ." besides i get the feeling your not one to take orders." Drive leaves the room muttering "Damnit Mika were are you?"

After being healed, given soup and water, Mika smiled slightly. "Thank you. It really wasn't nessecary, but thank you." As much as she didn't like to admit it, she was glad she had gotten healed. Though, she hoped that her arm was still untouched. Mika didn't want her arm to have been healed, otherwise she would have to mark it again. Frankly, she really wasn't looking forward to that prospect. Deciding to make sure, she pulled up her sleeve, to check on the marks. They didn't sting as much as they had the night before, which she hoped meant that they were still there. Giving one a gentle touch, and feeling the twinge of pain made her smile. Still there...
As she took a sip of soup, Mika sighed happily. It felt better to actually be able to breathe without the ache of broken ribs. Actually being able to breathe was a good thing as well. "Mmmm... this soup is delicious. Thank you." She didn't mention that it was a tad on the hot side, so she quickly took a sip of the cool water Chiriko had made for her, to still the burn. "Ahhh... Thanks Chiriko."
Pausing in her soup consumption, Mika turned her head to look at Tamahome. He seemed worried about something. He's probably still wondering why I stabbed myself. She sighed, putting the bowl down. "What's wrong? Why do you look so down? If it's about me stabbing myself, I can explain that... it'll sound a bit odd, but it is true."

Kyo just smirks as Drive leaves. Two steel orbs emerge from his torso and open. The wine falls to the floor and Kyo just leaves the room. He walks outside and looks around for a moment. Drive didn't even know what my power was.....what a fool. How can such an incompetent person lead these bandits. Kyo let out a sigh as he slowly sits down on a tree branch.

Drive left the throne room and walked down the hall to the dining area. Drive knew he had probly pissed Kyo off but he never hired anyone who came to him looking to be a bandit. The two jugs of wine were just a ploy, it alowed him to get a few laugh and gave him an excuse to say no. If they drank he would give them an answar like the one he gave Kyo if the didn't he just say they were weak or didn't follow orders well.
Drive enters the dining area. "hey sis" Drive gives her a sheepish grin "how bout a hug ".

Lian smiled slightly as she watched Chiriko. He really was like a big brother, caring for everyone.
But I don't feel anything special for him . . . we're just friends. Her smile broadened. Besides, I think I've already found my own . . .
She glanced at Riku. He looked a little worried, but was it for her, or for Tasuki? Stop that. Now you're just acting stupid. Personally, she was happy just to be near Riku. Funny . . . how a little reunion of descendants can affect me so much . . . With a small smile to Riku she finished up her meal and stood.
"I'm going to see if the people in the kitchen need any help," she said.

Tamahome blinked when Mika turned to talk to him. "Oh... yeah, but I just don't like seeing you hurt. I don't know why it bothers me to much, but it does." He looked down and swallowed a bit, "I know, I'm strange, you wouldn't be the first person to think that. Being by yourself has that affect on a person." He was only babbling now, rather then admitting he was starting to have deeper feelings for the bandit princess... She is like a princess... I don't know why, but she sparkles. His cheeks turned a dark shade of red.
When Drive came in, Tamahome snapped his head in his direction and frowned, about to stay something, but he was able to contain his tongue... just barely.

Mika smiled at Tamahome, a small red hue crossing her own cheeks. "You're not strange. I guess I'm just not used to people worrying about if I get hurt or not. After all..." she was about to continue when the all too familiar voice of her brother came wafting through her mind. She knew she was the only one that could hear it, and by the looks on the other's faces, with the exception of Tamahome, they hadn't even noticed he was there yet.
Standing up, which she was thankful she was actually able to do now that she was healed, Mika walked over to her brother, giving him a hug. "Of course, bro. Come on, I want you to meet the others." She smiled, as she playfully ruffled his hair before walking back over to the others. She started pointing, as she spoke to him. "That's Riku. He's the Prince of Suzaku, or something like that. That red head over there is Chiriko. Nuriko just got up to go help the girls in the kitchen..." her voice trailed off a bit as she remembered that. She still had to tell him about the four from yesterday. "Ummm... anyways, and that man right there is Tamahome. I think we left Chichiri in the Throne room... and the Priestess should be in my bedroom..."
Mika coughed a little, to get Riku and Chiriko's attention. "Ahem, I want you guys to meet my brother, the leader of the Mount Reikaku bandits, Drive, also known as Hotohori." She smiled over at Tamahome, before sitting down next to him. "And now I can explain it... Well... Drive, roll up your left sleeve." She was going to show Tamahome the identical marks.

Tamahome just held up his hand, "Don't worry about it Mika, you don't have to explain youreself to me." Sun Li didn't care that it was some stupid bandit tradition, but he couldn't believe she wasn't even alittle angry she'd been beat up by her brother. She was smiling as if nothing happened. He'd been taught at a young age, only the weakest of men hurt a woman like that. He stood, "Please excuse me." He went out the door, heading toward his room.

Mika, to say the least, was a little bit dumfounded. She wanted to show him why she had stabbed herself, but Tamahome had just gotten up to leave. Standing up, she glanced over at her brother. "I'll be back. Get to know everyone, ok?" With that, she followed after Tamahome. She wanted to talk to him, to figure out what was going through his head.
It didn't take her too long to find him. As she caught up to him, she put a hand on his shoulder. "How about telling me what's really wrong?" She didn't think it could be about her and Drive fighting, though the idea was starting to bubble in her head. "Why did you suddenly get so upset when Drive... Oh... I see. It's about the fight, huh?"

His green eyes met her's, he was troubled, it was obvious. "Your own brother hurt you... pretty badly. I don't care why, your his family, he shouldn't of done that. This thieves code seems to end up hurting you in the end! This isn't something was sweet and caring person should have to do, you shouldn't have to fight and kill, it's just... not right." He went to turn back around to keep going. He was so agitated that she could see the ogre symbol shining through his thin pants.

Mika kept ahold of his shoulder, turning him around. She looked at him in the eyes, shaking her head. "Tamahome... today's fight went a little bit harder than normal. That's all. The connection is weaker today, so he couldn't feel how badly he was hurting me." She smiled softly, keeping her hand on his shoulder. "That's what I wanted to show you. Drive and I... we're twins. Ever since we were little, we've had a connection. Anytime I got injured, the same injury would appear on him. The same would happen if he was cut as well. That's not even all of it. We can talk to each other without ever even moving our lips. It's all mental... but, every fourteen days, the connection almost disappears. Today is one of those days."
She sighed softly, before turning her head. "Besides... fighting and killing is all I have that's stable. I used to steal for a reason, but now... I just do it because it's the only thing I'm really good at."

He reached up and placed his hand on the side of her neck and gently caressed her cheek with his thumb. "It hurt to see you get injured, my heart ached. I know about what happened on the road last night. When I went to get the bandages, the women were all upset and told me what happened." He spoke with a soft, caring voice... "I damn fate for making such a beautiful and kind woman make those decisions. There is more to you then thievery, I can see it in your eyes."
