"So our holders finally met," the black and red kwami said as he sits on the roof of a random building.
"Yep, you think this time they won't do anything stupid?" A dark red bird kwami with bright red feather around his neck said. He turns his white beak to the sky then looks at the bunny with bright red eyes.
"Time will tell Tennu, they just met each other." Nommi said as he stares at the moon.
"Of course, but we cannot afford them to leave the city unprotected now. It is too close (to the sorcerer's key)." Tennu said with a dark edge to his voice.
"Careful with your tone, your human will catch on that you aren't normal."
"What? Little old me?" Tennu pitches his voice higher, more innocent. "He only hears me like this. Only here I can be natural." He gives a dark chuckle. "He should look up at some point that he looks nothing like those show off birds. Can't kill them with regular fire, but with my flames. Oh they tasted so good centuries ago."
"Then it is a good thing that you are trapped in such a cuddly form. If you weren't you would have hunted all the phoenixes out of existence," Nommi dryly states.
"They may as well be extinct. Never coming to this area. Maybe I can convince Jacques to go to France for a short vacation. I cannot wait to get my beak bloody with their warm blood."
"Oh stop you're salivating. Speaking about your holder, he is staying here for four years instead of one?"
"Have your hopes up already? Anyway we both talked about it in the summer. He's on a special program of learning abroad for four years. That or he is staying for a year then officially having his studies here. Wasn't paying much attention to that. Point is, he is going to be here for a long time. Just hope your human wont mess up again." Tennu rambles.
"My hopes aren't up and Randy won't do what his predecessor did before. He was chosen carefully by the Messenger after I set up more requirements for my holder. Hopefully now it will be difficult to sway my holder. If something happ3ns I will intervene."
"You mean the brave of heart on top of being able to mediate disputes? Shame the other had to abuse his gift time and time again. So much potential wasted." Tennu sighs and Nommi nods his head.
"Too many bad influences, there is only one in Randy's life, but I don't believe the pest would go away." Nommi said with distain.
"The loud one?"
"Yes." He hisses, "Unfortunately he happens to be a childhood friend."
"I see."
"What about yours?"
"He will be okay, the flames of his passions will not diminish. If one ever did, he will find a new flame."
"Good, I hope you are taken up with him."
"I am, he seems to be taking things in stride. Although, he is hesitant to use his weapon on occasion."
"Maybe it is because it is unusual."
"Hey! I imaged it as a smaller version of my powerful and majestic wings even if it has a slightly different color. It has so many uses, not like your crappy sword that can just cut things." Tennu said with pride, even puffing out his chest and sauntering around.
Nommi hit the kwami and he rolled his eyes. "Stop messing around, you have to show me where your human lives and I'll show you mine. I have to get up early to train my human."
"You deliberately set it up like that didn't you Noms? Well I'm not falling for it. Come on, let's go, and training? Don't be too hard on your holder, you don't want him to end up resenting you. Unless you are planning it, which is messed up. You are messed up."
"I am a firm believer in getting my work done and then relaxing. Along with tough love, he trains early because I care."
"Well maybe you shouldn't care too much."
Nommi growls but says nothing. With that, two kwamis fly off into the darkness, avoiding any light from the street or houses. After traveling to both houses, they make it back to their miraculous holder's homes. In the early morning one holder is forced awake by an equally tired kwami, and the other holder sleeps peacefully. By the time the sleeping holder wakes due to a phone call from overseas, while the other holder is complaining in the shower about evil kwamis and how envious he is of his partner taking a nap.
A/N: Rehash: Tennu eats jerky and Nommi cherries. There will be more of this at a later date, usually when something major goes down or something is brought up. One-shots are here to tie up some loose ends, make references to something, and/or filler for fluff so you get to know some characters.
