The chase

They turned a corner to where makio's place was.

They stayed a distance away from the door in order to ensure they were safe.

Hold on…

Are we in danger?

I'm getting a really strange feeling.

I dunno…

That's makio's room over there…

It's strange

SNIFF

SNIFF

Hoshi started to run towards the door.

SLAM

She opened it, and there was nothing but a mess.

HWOOO

A breeze?

But the windows closed

Then Inosuke threw a bowl at the roof.

"HRRAAH! I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!" he yelled

Then they heard footsteps, and Inosuke was the first one running.

"I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY" he yelled

Then inosuke prepared to punch the wall, and a man popped up

"Say...what's a cutie like you doing out here…" he said

And Inosuke punched him accidentally.

It was with such force, he broke the wall.

Hoshi gasped, while kage laughed like a hyena

"YAAAH! SHE PUNCHED HIM" one of the women yelled

Dammit.

The three continued running around the house, while Hoshi muttered curses.

Meanwhile at house Kyogoku

"Maybe we should start looking for uzui's wives…" shizen said to a now calm netsu and zenitsu.

"Fine...sorry I lost my head for a bit though…" netsu laughed

"It's fine" shizen smiled

The three got up and got to walking around.

Netsu and zenitsu closed their eyes to concentrate on the noise

"Get that! That!"

"I don't have an obi!"

"I'm hungry"

"Is the hairdresser here?"

Sob

Sob

Sniff

"Hurry up!"

"A girl is crying! That's the most important sound!" zenitsu said

Netsu and Shizen stared at him with disgust.

"What?! If a girl's crying then that means something's wrong! Stop looking at me so grossed out, you have dirty minds!!" zenitsu whined

"Whatever, let's go!" shizen said

They ran up to their destination and found a mess, and a girl crying in the middle of it all.

"HEY...WHAT A MESS! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!" zenitsu yelled

The girl turned around, and there was blood at the side of her mouth.

"HUH? WAS THERE... A FIGHT IN HERE?! DID SOMEONE HIT YOU?! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?!" Zenitsu yelled.

"Zenitsu, stop yelling! She's obviously in a state of shock, you idiot!" netsu said.

Then she walked over to the child.

"Are you okay? Sorry about hi- her...he didn't really mean to scare you. If you're in some kind of trouble-"

Netsu stopped speaking.

"What are you doing in my room?" a woman behind her said

I…

I know that sound…

Humans don't make that sound.

The person behind me is a demon…

Until she spoke to me, I didn't notice her at all.

How did that happen?

Is it…

An upper rank demon?

Like akaza?

It's a weird sound

But so quiet it's actually scary…

"Hey, did you hear me? Are you deaf?"

"Oh, warabihime-orian! That girl just arrived a couple of days ago!" shizen said, trying to save netsu.

"So? Does that matter to me?"

"I-i'm sorry! we dragged her here! It was messy here, and we didn't know how to clean-" zenitsu started

"You're ugly. And creepy. Maybe you'd be better off dead, no? What's with that hair color? Trying to stand out? You're right, the room really is a mess. But i left orders to have it cleaned"

Then Warabihime grabbed the girl's ear.

The girl screamed

"SHUT UP, YOU! NO YELPING! JUST CLEAN UP!"

"I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY! I'LL DO IT RIGHT AWAY, FORGIVE ME!"

Then netsu grabbed warabihime's arm.

"What?" she asked

"Please. Let go of her" netsu growled
