Further Understandings

Farren blinked in confusion and looked at the samurai. Gakupo staggered again and looked around, confusion crossed his face as he looked at each member of the Legendary Five. He had no idea what happened and seemed lost for words. "Gakupo?" Farren called. Gakupo fell to his knees in front of Farren, his body back to his original appearance. "Gakupo!" Farren called again as she knelt down beside him. "Are you alright?"

"D-did he…?" Gakupo started to ask.

"Did he what?" Farren asked confused.

"D-did O-Obsidian D-Daisho…?" Gakupo tried again.

"The man that appeared here not long ago said that his name was Obsidian Daisho," Farren confirmed.

"He was out then…" Gakupo said in a low almost faint voice. All Farren could manage to do was nod her head in answer. "Did he do anything to harm anyone?"

"Well, he…" Farren started. Gakupo looked at her when she started speaking. "He grabbed Drake by the shoulders and lifted him into the air."

"Did Drake say anything to him that he shouldn't have said?"

"Yeah," Farren said. "He called him a hack of a samurai."

"His temper is shorter than mine is," Gakupo sighed. "One should never call him names. Did anything else happen?" Farren only turned a bright red.

"Erm…" she said.

"Why does my tail hurt?" Gakupo asked ignoring the redness of the gray-haired girl's face. He flicked his tail slightly trying to ease the pain in it. Farren stayed quiet still blushing. Gakupo looked at Sakurajima as she hid her swords.

"Well…" the Kitsune started. "Obsidian Daisho was about to attack Jack so I had gotten in between them to defend him. Obsidian then turned to face Farren."

"I was never going to attack Jack," Obsidian said out of nowhere causing the others to jump slightly in fright. The black-haired Neko appeared beside Gakupo causing Farren to jump back. Gakupo looked at Farren, his eyes sparkling slightly.

"He appears out of nowhere like that from time to time," Gakupo said.

"A little warning would have been nice," Farren said wearily. The purple-haired samurai looked at Obsidian and then at Farren. The gray-haired girl backed away from Obsidian a little wearily. The black-haired samurai looked from Sakurajima to Farren and back again.

"Have I done something wrong?" the black-haired Neko asked.

"If you mean grabbing Drake by his shoulders and hoisting him into the air, then looking as though you were going to kill Jack," Sakurajima said. "I think you did something wrong." The samurai looked around himself leaving his back exposed to Drake.
