A Surprise and a Changed Wolf - 02.08.2009

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba was sitting outside in the limbs of a tree, waiting. Something important was going to happen soon, he could feel it, but he just didn't know what.

[Mira-Neiva Fadiele-Koudo]

Mira was sitting on a branch, almost oblivious to the world around her. She looked up at the sky through the green leaves on the tree, remembering the creation of Tialka. When she finally looked down, she saw Kiba sitting below. Quickly, she jumped down to join him. "Hello, Kiba," she said.

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba looked at her and returned his gaze to the forest floor below. "Can you sense something? Something is going to happen and it is a good thing. But I have no idea what..."

[Mira-Neiva Fadiele-Koudo]

"Yes, I've been feeling it for a while now. It seems most strong here, which is why I was up there. Waiting." She, too, looked at the forest floor below, where springy grass grew and fallen leaves rested.

[Kiba Kurokage]

They heard some rustling and Kiba dropped to the forest floor as a figure emerged from a bush a little ways away.

[Mira-Neiva Fadiele-Koudo]

Mira stayed in the tree, resisting camouflaging. She looked down at the bush that grew between a pair of cherry trees. The rustling didn't stop until a figure made its way out.

[Kiba Kurokage]

Shiro emerged from the bush, shaking a few leaves off her white fur. Kiba instantly crouched but he didn't draw his sword, something was off about her, and it made him lower his gaurd slightly.

[Mira-Neiva Fadiele-Koudo]

"Shiro," said Mira, sensing the odd thing more now than earlier. "How kind of you to join us," she said, jumping down to the floor. "May I ask your reason for doing so?"

[Kiba Kurokage]

Shiro looked at Mira strangely. "Who are you? I just wanna find my brother." Kiba stepped out into view. "Well, what do you want?" Shiro quickly ran over to Kiba and hugged him tightly. "I missed you!" Kiba just stood there in shock as his evil sister hugged him like she used to.

[Mira-Neiva Fadiele-Koudo]

Mira looked at her oddly. Her first thought was that Shiro was tricking them, but the sense of goodwill overwhelmed that thought. "What's going on?" she mouthed to Kiba, hoping he had a better idea than she.

[Kiba Kurokage]

'I have no idea.' he mouthed back to Mira. He decided to ask. "Shiro, what's going on?" She let go of him and smiled. "I was looking all over for you. What is this place anyway?" She asked. "This is the planet of Tialka." he answered. "Oh, I've always wanted to go to other planets!!" She squealed. Kiba pulled Mira aside. "Either she has memory loss, she is trying to trick us, or some completely unseen explanation." He whispered to her. "Just act along and don't say anything about her being evil, We'll have it figured out soon enough."

[Mira-Neiva Fadiele-Koudo]

Mira nodded, "Alright," she whispered back. She walked over to Shiro. "Hello, Shiro," she said. "My name is Mira, I'm one of the creators of this planet, Tialka. "Your brother has spoken much about you." She smiled, though she really wanted to laugh. Well, at least she didn't lie.

[Kiba Kurokage]

"Oh it is very nice to meet you Mira. There must be others who are they?" She inquired. Kiba smiled, she sure was acting like her old self. So it might be true that she has turned back to normal... "We must have gotten separated on the way here. Tell me, what is the last thing you remember?" He asked, trying to see what she last remembered if she had indeed lost her memory. "We were having our birthday celebration, but it looks like you have grown since I last saw you only a day or so ago."

[Mira-Neiva Fadiele-Koudo]

"Hiruko, and Seirei," she said. "You'll meet them soon enough." She listened to Kiba's question, and was a little surprise that Shiro's last memory was so long ago. She waited for Kiba to reply.

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba sighed. "Shiro, you have been away for a long time. Tell me how old do you think you are?" He asked. She looked at him strangely. "I am seven, so are you if you can remember." She gave a half hearted laugh. "Why what's wrong?" Kiba looked at her and said, "Right now, we are actually about seventeen." She stared at him in disbelief. "Then why don't I remember anything of the last ten years?" She asked, a little scared. "I am not sure, but it seems you have memory loss. Though I would Advise you strongly not to try to regain your memories."

[Mira-Neiva Fadiele-Koudo]

Mira wondered what had caused Shiro's memory loss, and hoped desperately that Shiro would not regain them. Though this may be harsh on Shiro, who would be curious, it was for the good of everyone. Mira stood next to Kiba, waiting for Shiro's reaction.

[Kiba Kurokage]

She looked at Kiba questioningly, but she trusted him so decided to let it drop. "So where do we live then? After all we need a home or have we been travelling these past ten years?" She joked. "We have though I have settled down here. Though I think you Should talk to Mira to learn the Rules and such of Tialka."

[Mira-Neiva Fadiele-Koudo]

"Basically, bad deeds will not be tolerated, however you are permitted to travel Tialka, and set up living quarters where you wish. I believe your brother is still in possession of some of the maps he made a while ago. Also, there are two enemies here in Tialka. Their names are Koatia and Hayashi. Again, I think Kiba may still have pictures of them, so ask him to see them so that you can recognise them."
