Into the Stars

[Ricia]

Buba came out of the room and the door shut by itself. When everyone was in the sitting room, Buba sat down on her 'thrown' and gave a hard look over everyone there.


"I am assuming I don't need to lecture you as to what you all did wrong?" Buba said.


'Please give her our serenest apologizes for Inget's actions.' Valence said.


"No ma'am.... I know sorry won't even begin to excuse my actions..." Taji said looking up at her.


Leo was still petting Kaishiro, trying to keep the boy calm.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Valence sends ingets appologies," Victoria said "and I'm sorry... to you and Kasu he told us not to... but I was so curious,"


Kaishiro was no longr balling bur he had not let go of Leo yet.


"I appologize as well, I tasked myself with the role of team leader... one of my team is hurt I take responsibility,," KAsu said

 

[Ricia]

"Kasu, I don't put you at fault, though as team leader I hope you will try better next time. Victoria and Taji however.... your punishment...." Buba said looking at them.


Taji looked a bit worried at that statment.


"You will clean the entire stretch of hall way that Mika had leaked from storage to the Mirror room, and you will be reparing the damage to the floor in the storage room. Victoria. That dagger chooses its owner.... in essence... it chose you. The dagger is now yours and only yours... however until I can fully trust you with a curse item, you will leave it here. I have much to prepare you for."


'NONO!' Inget screamed, the dagger shook a bit in her hands. 'Inget, behave yourself!' Valence said, it was like they were having an internal fight in the dagger.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"please bon't make inget suffer... when i am here let me hold him so he wont be lonely," Victoria said "I come here everyday work really hardm,"


"When mika returns... I request the right to take her out somewhere as a thank you for trying to protect Victoria," Kasu said

 

[Ricia]

"That is up to Mika." Buba said to Kasu. Leo looked pretty upset as well as he soothed Kaishiro.


"Victoria, you can hold the dagger how how ever much you want. It will not leave this shop however until I know you can properly use it. That is final." Buba said sternly. It was the first time she used a voice with anything other then calm all knowing. "That dagger will say anything to make sure you keep it in its possession. It can not use its power if you and it are not touching. You understand?" Buba said.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Valence warned me of the red personality in Dos, I should put Dos down when it happens," Victorsaid softly looking at the dagger


Kasu nodded


Kaishiro was starting to cry himself to sleep he wanted Mika back.

 

[Ricia]

"I'm sorry Madame... I'm going to take Kaishrio home..." Leo said standing up and picking Kaishiro up a bit. "I'll be back in a few hours..." Leo promised.


"Very well." Buba said. "Now.... the floor is not going to clean itself." Buba said looking at Taiji and Victoria. "I have some work uniforms you can change into. And Kaishiro... I need to talk to you, alone. But another time, when you are feeling better. I will see you Monday."


Taji sighed, he thought he was getting off easy with just cleaning the floor...


'She should have no right to punish you! Lady Victoria is perfect! Perfect I say!' Inget said. 'She holds us, so pretty. So very pretty.'


'I apologize for causing such trouble. But I thank you for not casting us aside for such a mistake.' Valence told Victoria.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Victoria smiled and kissed the Dagger's hilt "ok, if i put you in my shirt will you be ok so i can clean with both my hannds?"


"I think... I'm going to reclean omlettes pen," Kasu said softly.


Kaishiro looked at Madame Buba and nodded "will be back tomorrow Kaishiro promises," he sounded half asleep.

 

[Ricia]

'Yes. We will be fine, even if you put us down. Your work comes first My lady. pay no mind to Inget.' Valence said.


Leo nodded and left with Kaishiro, taking him back home to Emma. Of course he planed on explaining to her what had happened.


Buba went to to go get a bucket and two sponges, giving Taji and Victoria clothing so they didn't get their cloths dirty.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Victoria tied the dagger to her waist so it could e close she didn't want Inget to feel lonely. She grabbed a spunge afchanging and got down to start cleaning.


Kaishiro calmed to a small sniffle by the time got to his house/

 

[Ricia]

Leo knocked on the door, when Emma opened it she looked a bit surprised, "Is Everything ok?" She asked, though she pulled Kaishiro to her to hug.


Taji sighed and got down to the ground too, scrubbing the floors after he had gotten changed.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I;m sorry Taji we could have not gotten caught if i hadn't burst in," Victoria said.


Kaishiro hugged Emma still sniffling.

 

[Ricia]

"No its ok.... " Taji said while they scrubbed the floor. "Its kind of my fault for egging everyone on...." Taji said. "I got Mika hurt because of it... Buba must have known something like this was going to happen. we just got lucky that it was not worse."


Leo smiled, "I'm sorry.. things are got really bad... You see..."


"Its ok... I know everything. I even see your wings... so you can tell me the truth. Buba has told me everything." Emma said with a small smile, "come on in...we can talk inside."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kaishiro walked inside still close to Emma. "I knew the fairy princess would know, Mama is amazing,"

 

[Ricia]

Emma smiled at kaishiro and laid him down on the couch with his head in her lap.


Leo sat down and started to explain everything that happened, Emma looked pretty upset.


"I hope Mika is alright..." Emma said.


"She should be..." Leo said with a nod. "I need to get back though... I just wanted to make sure Kaishiro got home safe..."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kaishiro nuzzle into Emma. "thank you Leo," he said

 

[Ricia]

"No problem Kaishiro, I'll see you tomorrow morning." He told the boy softly before leaving for the shop again.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kaishiro waved.


Kasu did indeed clean Omlettes pen letting the chick play in his bag after he emptied it of course.

 

[Ricia]

Leo showed up almost an hour later. "Hey... you ok?" He asked Kasu.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu looked at him "yes, I've just tiedied things up wrote omletts time record and cleaned his pen."

 

[Ricia]

"That wasn't what I was talking about..." Leo said sitting down in the grass and picking up the bird.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I feel like I failed as a leader," Kasu said "I know there was a reason we did not need to go to those rooms,"

 

[Ricia]

Leo sighed, "I'm sorry.. I didn't back you up...I proububly should have insisted.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"everyone was so curious... I like not knowing it makes things less final," Kasu told Leo.

 

[Ricia]

Leo nodded and then smiled at Kasu. "Its ok. Everything will be ok." He said to Kasu, though it almost sounded like he was saying it more to himself. "I'm going to go check on Victoria and Taji." Leo said getting up.
