Tina watched how Arina acted around Azusa as they went past her to the living room. She then looked to the door to her room and felt herself cringe at the thought of getting so close to Tsubaki. But she couldn't reject what she had already told Arina, so she went to her room and placed her pajama clothes in her hamper before she went up to Tsubaki and held her hand out to him.

"You and I need to head to the living room. Apparently Tina wants to talk to the two of us, she's already there with your brother. So I'll be helping you to there but nothing else."

Tsubaki nodded his head and she helped him up before helping him walk to the living room, the entire time she whined and complained about how heavy he was. She wasn't used to doing things like carrying people around, she wasn't that strong it took all of her might to not fall to the ground and take Tsubaki down with her. Tina soon made her way to the living room and placed Tsubaki beside Azusa before she panted out a bit.

"Learn how to walk again and fast Tsubaki." She said before she looked around. "Where's Ari?"

"Arina went to answer the door, she hasn't come back from it yet obviously." Azusa said concerned

Tina nodded her head and went to the door to see an elder woman who had the same hair color as Arina and had pink eyes. "Ari who's this?"

"S-She's my mother...I don't know how she found me but.." Arina said as she looked to Tina sadly

Tina looked to the elder woman skeptically before she pulled Arina behind her and glared at her. "I don't care who you say you are, you aren't getting close to my bestie that easily! I've known her since pre-k and see her as my little sister! So you want anything you're going to have to go through me first!"

"I only wish to make up for placing her upon her father; I know he's gone and she's been alone for a long while. I can take her in and give her the life she's supposed to have." The elder woman said calmly

Tina scoffed. "If you wanted her in your life you should have that before you went and pushed her onto someone else, what you did was beyond cold. No mother should do that to their child! Now if you have nothing more to say leave now, neither one of us wants you here...isn't that right Ari?"

Arina nodded her head quietly; she had her life set. She had her best friend always protecting her and she had Azusa...who she knew at least liked her a little bit. Otherwise he wouldn't have acted so nice to her. She didn't need anything else in her life right now. The elder woman looked to Arina sadly.

"I will be in touch with you daughter." She said before she left

Tina then shut the door and she turned around to hug Arina. "Don't worry that crazy coot isn't getting you that easily! I am not losing you to an old bat who doesn't understand what you've gone through."

Arina hugged Tina back. "T-Thank you Tina...it really means a lot to me that you're like this."

"Of course...and I meant what I said to her. You are like a little sister to me so don't you dare ever forget that alright?"

"Mhm, I won't Tina."

The two of them then went to talk with the two males, Arina sat beside Azusa as Tina sat in a chair not far from them. She refused to sit beside Tsubaki. "So tell us boys just how the hell did you two manage to get yourselves into plush dolls like this?" Tina asked curiously

Azusa and Tsubaki looked to one another before Azusa spoke up first. "It all started up because of Fuuto."

"You're pain in the arse younger brother? Really? What the hell did he do?" Tina asked

"He had gone to this witch that was at a carnival that was near town, previous to it...well Tsubaki and him got into a really bad argument and I tried to stop them from arguing. But it didn't help any. Instead it only added on to how he had acted and well he got so pissed off he went off on his own. Tsubaki, Yusuke and I had to go find him only to see him asking the witch to make us be more tolerable." Azusa said sadly

Arina got up and sighed as she rubbed between her eyes. "He went to someone who messed with not only time magic but material magic as well. You can't get something for nothing; equivalent exchange must be done for it to work. Which means that as many of you that were turned to plush dolls, somewhere else something else happened to counteract it." Arina said in thought

"Ari...how do you know so much about this?" Tina asked

Arina looked to Tina. "Its because I've been hiding from you that I'm pagan. Its an earth magic based religion but spells can work if done right. Seeing that the two boys are now like this..it makes me wonder something else as well."

"What's that?" Tina asked

"I got a plush of Fuuto and Yusuke from my father months after getting the twins."

"That'll explain why I kept hearing Yusuke and Fuuto's voice. I tried to ignore it though." Azusa said in shock

"Wait...you heard their voices...just like you heard Tsubaki's?" Arina asked Azusa

"Yeah...I didn't think it really mattered much though."

"Well it kinda does. I'll be right back."

Arina rushed to her room and she went into a box and she went searching for Fuuto and Yusuke only to see them on the bottom of the box. She took them out and she placed the others back before she went into the living room with the two plush dolls. She threw Yusuke at Tina who caught him with one hand.

"You're not thinking about doing what I think you are...are you?" Tina asked as she cringed a bit

"Unless you rather bad shit happen here I suggest you stop your complaining. You can bitch out Fuuto when he's human again for this." Arina said unamused

Tina sighed. "You realize I don't like Yusuke."

"You realize I don't give a fuck, its the reaction to your lips hitting the dolls skin that changes the dolls to human not the fact that you have a fascination with the guy. Which you and I are going to need to talk about later between Tsubaki and you." Arina said with her arms crossed

"So...you're going to make them human too...don't you think just having us is enough?" Tsubaki asked

"If you want to go back to Ema and the rest of your family I need the two morons to be human again too. Otherwise it won't work." Arina said with a sigh

Tina looked down to Yusuke and she placed him on the coffee table. "Nope! Not gunna do it. nuh-ah...Forget about it Ari. You dared me to kiss Tsubaki but that doesn't mean that I'll willing kiss his younger brother."

"Wuss, to think you're the older one of us and you're scared of kissing a doll." Arina said before she kissed Fuuto before placing the doll on the chair. "Now I wait...if things go right in a few minutes he should be himself again."

Tina blinked her eyes. "I...I can't believe you just did that. You really want to make our lives hell don't you?"

"They won't be hell if you do as you're told. Unless you want Tsubaki to share your room with you Tina, I suggest you do something about Yusuke." Arina said with her arms crossed

Tina sighed and closed her eyes. "Fine..."

She kissed the doll and placed him beside Fuuto. "Happy?"

"Not really but I'll live. Now on to you two...Azusa and Tsubaki you two pretty much are immobilized and I know that Tina isn't that strong and can't really carry much of anything. So you two are going to need to practice walking around this place before I can allow the two of you to leave the house. Since this place is in my name not Tina's." Arina said as she looked to the twins

"That's fine, so what is going to happen in the mean time?" Tsubaki asked curiously

"I'm going to make breakfast and Tina needs to get her resume ready for her interview today in a few hours." Arina said before she went to the kitchen

When she did Tina crossed her arms. "Something has changed Ari...She'd never be like this on a normal basis.."

"I know she isn't always like this, she doesn't usual swear either. So what to do?" Azusa asked curiously

"I don't know...I think it has to do with her mother showing up out of nowhere." Tina said sadly before she sighed

"Her mother?" Azusa asked with a raised eyebrow

"Yeah, I don't know how much about her life you know Azusa...but she only lived with her father for most of her life. What she was told from her father was she was pushed on to her father since her mother didn't want the child since she looked like him a bit. Her mother never loved her father and well...for years the two never spoke. But the person at the door...that was her mother, since her father is gone her mother thinks that its all right to go and contact Ari. She's an adult now she doesn't need her mother coming out of nowhere trying to control her life." Tina said softly

Neither male knew what to say, at that time Arina came out and she looked to Tina. "Tina I need your help, I can't reach the pan on the high shelf."

"Alright, I'm coming Ari." Tina said as she got up

Tina went to the kitchen to help Arina out, as she did both Fuuto and Yusuke turned human and fell out of the chair.
