*A dirt road, Sairo Country*
Tasuki: *into a little mirror-looking thingi* Well, Chichiri, where are they now?
Mirror: *Chichiri* Well, the last time I got a reading on them, they were about thirty miles north of where you are now no daa. But that was about an hour ago, when that monk's magic weakened for a moment no daa…he sure is powerful, no daa.
Tasuki: Well, do you think that you can find them NOW? It doesn't help that much when you say that they were about forty miles east a couple of hours ago!
Mirror: *Chichiri* It was THIRTY miles NORTH, ONE hour ago no daa! Do you ever listen, Tasuki-san no daa?
Tasuki: CHICHIRI! *his character starts to glow*
Mirror: *Hotohori* It's okay, Tasuki, just calm down! They're obviously going north, so you should just follow them north for now until we know something more definite. Okay?
Tasuki: I don't want to go north…it's so hot…I don't want to move!
Nuriko: *hitting Tasuki* Shut up, Tasuki-chan! I know it's hot, but we have to find Kerry-chan, right?
Tasuki: *with that misty look in his eyes* Kerry-chan…
Mirror: *Miaka* We miss you, Tasuki, Nuriko. Bring Kerry-chan back soon, okay?
Tamahome: On second thought, just SEND her back…you can stay…
Tasuki: TAMA…*his character starts glowing again, and he puts his hand on his tessen*
Nuriko: *grabbing Tasuki's arm* TASUKI-CHAN! Remember, the tessen doesn't work on the mirror…it'll only break the damned thing! It won't hurt Tama-chan!
Mirror: *Mitsukake* …ano… *Miaka* Nani, Mitsukake? *Mitsukake* …Chiriko wa…
Tasuki: What the FUCK is he talking about? Chiriko is…what?
Mirror: *Miaka* Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you guys…
Nuriko: Nani?
Mirror: *Miaka* Chiriko has…ano…fallen in love…
Nuriko: NANI?!?!
Tasuki: WHAT THE FUCK!? HE'S ONLY…ano…FIFTEEN! Oh…choto…
Mirror: *Hotohori* Exactly.
Nuriko: Well, who's the lucky girl…or is it a boy?!
Mirror: *Tamahome* Nuriko, you're such a gay pervert!
Nuriko: Watch it, Tamahome!
Mirror: *Chichiri* Ano…I hate to say this, no daa…but you remember that girl that Hotohori caught that was trying to kidnap Kerry-chan no daa?
Tasuki: You mean that little "vine" bitch? Dude, I could just wring her tiny throat…
Mirror: *Miaka* Ano…Tasuki?
Tasuki: Hai?
Mirror: *Hotohori* It IS "that little 'vine' bitch", as you so perfectly put it…
Tasuki: NANI!?
Nuriko: Oh…that's so kawaii…
Mirror: *Tamahome* See? I told you that Nuriko was a gay pervert!
Nuriko: You really better start crying for your mamma, Tamahome!
*Another dirt road, Sailo Country*
Kerry: That was weird…how did we do that cool transport-y thing?
Amefuri: *panting* I don't know…it wasn't me! It scared me half to death, though…
Toroki: NANI!? That wasn't you?! Then who the hell was it?
Subaru: Well, it wasn't me…
Toroki: And it wasn't me…and it wasn't Amefuri…*everyone looks at Kokie, wide-eyed*
Kokie: Na…Na…NANI? You think it was me?
Kerry: You mean it wasn't you?
Kokie: I wish…that was pretty cool…
Toroki: Then who the hell was it?
Amefuri: Oniichan, you already said that…
Toroki: Well…who the hell was it?!
Subaru: I don't know!!! This is scaring me!
Amefuri: *sniffling* Tatara would know…
Subaru: *sniffling* Yeah…Tatara would know…*a tear falls down his cheek*
Toroki: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT!!!???!!! TOROKI WOULDN'T KNOW!! SHE'S ONLY FIFTEEN!! AND SHE DOESN'T EVER STUDY!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!
Subaru: *sneering at Toroki* You…baka.
Kerry: Well…we need to find the last two seishi and then get Tatara…wait no…weren't we going to do it the other way around?
Kokie: Yeah…we were…but look *points to a bunch of buildings* That's the capitol of Sailo. That means that we're north of Pokaku's pad…weren't we going Southeast? AMEFURI! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PUT US IN THE WRONG PLACE!!!
Amefuri: How many times do I have to tell you? I didn't transport us!! Someone else did…
Kokie: Could it have been Pokaku?
Amefuri: No. She knows magic like I do. That wasn't like normal magic…
Subaru: Well, then who the hell was it?
Kerry: Yeah…who?
Amefuri: You know about that monk in Konan, right?
Kerry: Yeah, I guess…
Amefuri: Could he have done that?
Kerry: Oh, no. I don't think so…
Kokie: How do you know?
Kerry: I don't think it would be very nice to him to tell you why…
Tokaki: Doshite?
Kerry: That would also compromise him…
Subaru: Gosh, you can't tell us anything, can you?
Kerry: I can't tell you that either…
*everyone rolls their eyes, and walks down the road towards the Capitol. But unbeknownst to our Byakko heroes, there is danger hiding on the way*
