Kyandi: Hey guys!
Roksana: Kyandi-sama tried to give me a talking to.
Kyandi: I tried to explain to her that having feelings for someone isn't a bad thing.
Roksana: I don't have feelings for Hibari.
Kyandi: What did we talk about?
Roksana: I'm not in denial.
Kyandi: If you say so. See, Alpha wolf ML, she doesn't listen to me either.
Roksana: Can we just get on with this?
Kyandi: Oh, fine. Everyone, please enjoy and review.
Roksana: Kyandi-sama does not own Katekyo Hitman REBORN.
Chapter 45 Battle Planning
Making sure that Ryoka and Marc were asleep, Roksana rejoined the others just as Lal was asking Yuni if she knew about the birth of the Arcobaleno. The expression on Yuni's face was a sad one.
"Yes...a fragment of the memory was passed onto me." Yuni told Lal.
"Luce had a...mysterious power that let her read into the future. Do you have that power as well?" Lal asked.
"A-a power to read into the future!?" Tsuna asked, shocked.
"I had it once before...but lately, it has grown weaker." Yuni replied. "However, that goes for Byakuran as well. He knows himself, that his power is growing weaker."
"Byakuran-san's power? You mean the ability to look into parallel worlds?" Irie asked.
"Yes. Upon being sucked of energy by the power itself, he should only be able to complete one task at a time." Yuni told them.
"There's no mistake that we were discovered at Kawahira's agency through Byakuran's power." Reborn remarked.
"Then that should mean that he should be quite worn out for a while." Yuni said.
"Why can't you do the things you used to?" Tsuna asked.
"In my case, it's due to the withering, and aging of the power." Yuni answered.
"Yuni-san, you're still so young!" Haru protested.
"From the day they are born, humans live to die. It's a natural process. I recall that...the Arcobaleno of the Sky has a short life." Lal remarked.
Even though it was true, even though she was looking at a short life, Yuni just smiled.
"The reason that Byakuran needs me so desperately lies there as well. He wants to extract the true power of the Trinisette and make it his own, as quickly as possible. That's why he is very hasty right now." Yuni told them. "There's no mistaking the fact that he'll do anything in order to capture me and Roksana-san."
"I had no idea...so that's why he was so desperate." Irie remarked.
"How do you know that Byakuran's power is weakening, along with yours?" Reborn asked Yuni.
"I just know. It's hard to explain but...he and I are alike. Sawada-san and Byakuran are similar, in a sense too." Yuni replied.
"What!? Me and Byakuran are similar!?" Tsuna exclaimed.
"And...there is one last thing I must tell you all." Yuni said, instead of explaining her statement. "I will no longer run."
"Y-you can't give up! We've gotten this far!" Tsuna told her.
"She's not giving up, Tsuna." All eyes turned to where Roksana was leaning against the rocky cliffs that surrounded them in a semi-circle. "She's just merely done trying to escape. I know the feeling."
Yuni gave Roksana a smile, glad to see that she understood.
"It is the one thing I have known for certain, since long ago. That this place would serve as the battlefield for the final fight with Byakuran. That come tomorrow...dawn will signify the start of a battle, that will end all." Yuni confirmed.
"A battle that will end all?" Tsuna asked.
"Yes. Byakuran feels the pressure. He is gambling everything on this last battle." Yuni explained.
"You're certain that your premonition is unmistaken?" Lal asked, Yuni nodding.
"Can you foresee the outcome?" Irie asked.
"No...what I have been seeing until now, is a scenery just like this, in which I am talking with you all, and this forest, in which the battle begins, that is all." Yuni answered.
"What? You saw this scenery?" Tsuna demanded.
"U-um...when the fight is over...will we be able to return to our world again?" Haru asked.
"Although Byakuran has the knowledge to share his powers with himself across different parallel worlds, if you think about it logically, it also means that all of these worlds are interconnected, and there is only one solid being. In other words, if you take down one, they're all destroyed." Yuni explained. "If we defeat the Byakuran in this world, then the Byakuran in each parallel world will disappear as well. You will be able to return to a peaceful past, completely free of fear."
The girls gave a cheer, happy to hear that news.
"It means that our greatest crisis could also be our greatest chance." Reborn remarked.
"If we win this battle, we'll finally be able to return to the past." Tsuna said more to himself.
"If we win, that is." Lal pointed out.
"Don't be a pessimist, Lal." Roksana told her. "We've got to have hope if we're going to put up a fight."
"Perhaps. Though we've been able to scrape through with our boxes until now, there's no mistaking that they'll have more up their sleeves. It'll be a tough battle." Reborn said.
"Um...but...dawn? By dawn...? Now that I think about it, that hardly gives us any time!" Tsuna said, gripping at his hair once more.
"Pretty late to realize that now, idiot." Reborn told him.
"We haven't even got any plans!" Tsuna cried.
"It's hard to believe he's the same guy that rescued Hime. What's going on?" Gamma remarked.
"Tenth is just explaining the situation to us very straight-forwardly!" Gokudera yelled.
He was forced to shut his mouth when Roksana smacked him on the back of the head.
"Wake up Ryoka and Marc, Hayato, and it'll be the last thing you ever use that tongue for." Roksana told him, Gokudera instantly zipping his lips.
"Hm...then who could be better suited to think up a good war-plan, then the former captain of the Melone base, Irie Souichi?" Gamma asked, ignoring Gokudera and Roksana.
"Eh?! M-me!?" Irie exclaimed.
"Quit kidding around! The one to make my decisions is Tenth!" Gokudera retorted, making sure to keep his voice to a dull roar.
"Gokudera-kun is right. I have no right, after making such a blunder in the game of Choice. This battle should be in the hands of Vongola's boss, Tsunayoshi-kun." Irie said.
"I-I told you! I'm not the boss! I never even once said that I'd be boss!" Tsuna protested.
"You fool...you think you can back out now? Want me to crack your head open?" Reborn asked.
"Eek! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Time out!" Tsuna said, backing away from Reborn.
"What a perplexing man...Vongola's Tenth is really beyond me." Gamma remarked.
"Perhaps, but we never have a boring day." Roksana told him.
Now feeling really stressed, Tsuna turned to Irie.
"Um...then...will you help me plan a strategy, Shouichi-kun? Please lend me your strength!" Tsuna asked.
"Sure. If it's the Boss' orders. I'll happily oblige." Irie told him.
"Before that," Roksana said, butting in, making everyone look at her as she fixed her eyes on Yuni. "Yuni, I need answers. Why am I, the Moon Guardian, so important to this plan of Byakuran's? What part could I possibly play in all of this?"
"It has more to do with your abilities, then your title." Yuni told her.
"Please explain." Roksana requested when she didn't quite get it.
"You already know that those with the Moon flame, are rare, correct?" Yuni asked.
"Yes. Only females have the Moon flame, right?" Roksana asked.
"Its more than that. Someone with the Moon flame, only appears once in every generation, and only in one family...your family, Roksana-chan. The Moon flame is a trait passed down among the females on your mother's side of the family." Yuni told her.
"Wait, so...any daughter I have..." Roksana trailed off, turning to look towards where Ryoka was hogging the blanket from Marc in her sleep.
"She will, more than likely, have it too." Yuni confirmed. "You have to understand, the Moon flame is the only one that works this way and there is no other like it. There's no Mare Moon ring, or Moon Arcobaleno pacifier. Just a Vongola Moon ring and the rare, once-a-generation guardian suited for it."
"If that's true...are you saying I'm related to the first Vongola Moon guardian?" Roksana asked.
"Yes, I do believe so. But, because there is only one of you with the ability to grant new life to things with the Moon flame, you're the only one that can give new life to the Trinisette and activate it's power to create a new world. In order to create the new world he wants to make, Byakuran needs you and the Moon flame you carry. To do so, though...would cost you your life." Yuni told her.
All eyes fell on Roksana as silence stretched between them. Roksana was staring at the ground as she processed the information, piecing together parts of the puzzle. That was why Byakuran had failed in every other world. He didn't have Yuni to awaken the Arcobaleno pacifiers and he didn't have Roksana to unlock the Trinisette's powers.
To get what he wanted, Byakuran would have to use her as a sacrifice.
"Huh...story of my life." Roksana said simply, her hands going to her hips.
"You're not upset?" Tsuna asked, several pairs of eyes staring at her in shock.
"Why would I be? It just makes Byakuran yet another person out to take my life from me. After so many years and so many attempts, I'm done reacting to it. It's just a waste of energy better spent on other things." Roksana retorted. "That being said, if that's what he's after, then he's going to have one hell of a fight on his hands. I've always known that I would die one day at the hands of one of the many assassins sent after me, but I'll be damned if it's going to be because of Byakuran. He can kiss my spiteful, Russian ass."
It made some of her friends grin to hear her say that. At least they could count on Roksana to make life a living hell for Byakuran. Roksana turned her eys to Yuni.
"Thank you for the answers, Yuni. I still have a lot of questions, like why my family, but at least I no longer feel like a child stumbling around blind." Roksana remarked, Yuni smiling at her. "Irie, you can continue now."
Irie gave her a nod.
"Firstly, we need to get a grasp of our fighting capacity. The ones who won't be able to fight due to the last battle are Gokudera-kun and Basil-kun, Lal Mirch, Ryohei-kun, Nosaru, and Tazaru." Irie said.
He instantly got a round of loud protest from those names, all of them insisting that they could still fight when it was obvious that they couldn't.
"Every one of you, shut up!" Hearing the venom dripping from Roksana's voice, everyone fell silent, turning to look at the down right scary glare on the girl's face. "If I have to warn one of you again not to wake my daughter and brother, it'll be the last thing any of you do."
Everyone sat back down, all of them falling silent under the threat of death from Roksana. None of them wanted to take the chance, in their conditions, of Roksana carrying out her threat. Irie let out a nervous chuckle as Roksana gestured for him to continue.
"Next, let's count how many box weapons are still in tact." Irie continued.
"Hey, that Delfino di Pioggia I saw in the last battle...who's was it?" Gamma asked.
"That would be my Alfin." Basil answered.
"Has it been brain-coated with the other box weapons?" Gamma asked.
"Brain-coated?" Basil asked.
"Don't tell me you don't know about it...It's an ability only possible with the high intelligence level of the Delfino di Pioggia. It's also known as the "Inter-box Combination Launch System"." Gamma told them.
"There's still a lot about this world we don't know. We haven't exactly been here that long, you know." Roksana told him.
Gamma would give her that one. He merely explained it to them.
"The Delfino Di Pioggia is able to inter-connect ally boxes with it's high level of operating knowledge and brain waves. And when the boxes are in the perfect formation, they are able to launch a secret attack." Gamma explained.
"That's right! I'd forgotten about that!" Irie exclaimed.
"I remember reading about that in the self-help book." Basil remarked, looking down at the book in his hands.
"A combination secret attack. That sounds...impressive!" Tsuna said.
"There's no way we're not using this. Everyone, open your boxes!" Gamma told them.
"I'm only opening one." Roksana said.
"Why?" Gamma demanded.
"Because I'm not revealing my trump card to anyone. You'll take Tsukuyomi and deal with it." Roksana told him.
Not willing to fight with her in front of Yuni, Gamma just let it be. With that, everyone opened their boxes, their box weapons all gathered in one place.
"Its a spectacle, seeing them all together!" Gokudera remarked.
"All we're missing is Takeshi's and Hibari's." Roksana said as Tsukuyomi settled on her shoulder, ruffling his feathers with a chirp.
"All that's left is to get Delfino di Pioggia to do the brain-coating and we're good to go." Gamma said.
"Yes. Alright, here it goes!" Basil said.
"Hey Nuts! You've gotta go." Tsuna told his box weapon as the lion cub hid behind him. "Come on, what's wrong with you? Outside battle-mode, he's a complete scardy-cat."
"Sounds like your box weapon takes completely after you." Roksana remarked, Reborn agreeing as Uri attacked Nuts, trying to chase the lion out from behind Tsuna.
"Hey, Uri! How dare you act so insolently!" Gokudera told the cat.
Now scared of the cat, Nuts jumped at Tsuna, landing on his face as if he expected the boy to protect him. Roksana shook her head as Tsuna tried to pry the cub off his face.
"A-anyway...let's try to aim for a good battle-plan with this fighting capacity...Are you listening, Tsunayoshi-kun?" Irie asked as Uri jumped on Tsuna and Nuts both.
Roksana heaved a sigh before stepping into the fight, grabbing Uri by the scruff of the neck to pull him off Tsuna and Nuts. Holding the cat up to eye level, Roksana pegged the feline with a look. Almost instantly Uri started purring, his tail curling, as if he was sucking up to Roksana. Gokudera, feeling offended since Uri was his box weapon, got angry that Uri seemed to instantly like Roksana more than him, letting her cradle him in her arms and pet him between the ears while he purred.
"What is this, some school stage act? It's nearly shocking that this group of brats all managed to come through all this alive." Gamma remarked.
"It's because of that. It's because of this brightness, that they've been able to make it this far." Yuni told him.
"Yuni. I'll give this to you." Lal said, holding out a box for Yuni to take.
Roksana, still petting a purring Uri while Gokudera glared at the cat, watched her friends. She was glad to see them care free for the moment. After all they had been through over the last few weeks, they deserved a moment to just be teenagers. Especially with a big fight coming up in just a few hours.
"We have an idea of the direction they'll probably attack from thanks to Yuni. All we need to do is decide on a pivotal point at which we'll set up defense." Reborn said, pulling all of them back to the topic of battle strategy.
"I'll do the honors. Even if the enemy has read through the moves of the Nere Volpi, we still have the secret code to use. There's nothing to worry about." Gamma said.
"I'm going to!" Gokudera declared.
"Eh!? But you're hurt, Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna replied.
"Ha, this is nothing. I'm perky compared to the others!" Gokudera replied.
"Oh, really?" Gokudera grunted in pain, bending forward as he cursed lowly when Roksana jabbed him in the back, where his injury was. "Yeah, that's real perky, Hayato."
"Hey, you can hardly stand up straight. Don't try to tough it out. They took a lash at your back, right? That's pretty critical." Gamma remarked, Gokudera pushing aside his pain to sit up straight.
"Shut up! My fighting spirit that I dedicate to the Tenth, is nothing like yours." Gokudera told Gamma. "I mess up in the game of Choice, too! Because of me, Roksana had to defend Irie and got shot!"
"Actually, that was all on me and the Mint Queen. I could have just let him shoot Irie and saved myself some pain, but I didn't. That was my choice." Roksana replied.
Gokudera clicked his tongue at her before turning back to look at Gamma.
"If I don't do something about it now, I fail as the Tenth's right arm!" Gokudera said.
"I'll go too." Lal said.
"No way! Lal too!?" Tsuna demanded.
"But you can't really move all that much, Lal." Roksana said. "Even if I tried to use my flames to give some new life to your body, with your curse, it wouldn't improve much for you."
"Even if I can't move much, I can still put up a wall of defense with Gokudera. I make use of whatever extra strength you can give me." Lal replied.
"Just you watch, Tenth! We'll defend the pride of Vongola with all we've got!" Gokudera told Tsuna.
"You can't, Gokudera-kun! I won't...allow that!" Tsuna declared.
"Wh-what do you mean, you won't allow it?! Tenth!" Gokudera gasped.
"You're always going on about being my right hand when I couldn't care less about a right arm or Vongola's pride. I don't want you to gamble your life on something so insignificant!" Tsuna told him.
Gokudera's eyes narrowed at Tsuna's words, his mouth twisting. Roksana wasn't sure what he was about to say, but she had a feeling that Gokudera didn't agree with Tsuna.
"I'm sorry, but I can't follow your orders!" Gokudera said, surprising everyone when, for once, he refused to listen to Tsuna.
"Gokudera, he's defied Tsuna for the first time ever." Reborn remarked.
"Agh! No! That's not what I intended!" Gokudera insisted, hands held before him. "What I want to say is that...even though they're words that I've said before, I mean them in a whole different way."
"A different way?" Tsuna asked.
"Even now, I aim to become your right arm, and that in itself is the proof of my existence. But throughout the man battles we've fought in together, I've come to realize that the right arm you need, is not just strong and fearless in the face of danger. The right arm I aim to become now, is different from the past. The right arm of Vongola Decimo that I aim for is one who is able to share laughter with the boss, and does whatever he can to survive, for that sake!" Gokudera told them.
"Well, then...you heard him." Roksana said.
"You're going to approve?!" Tsuna asked.
"You know Hayato just as well as I do, Tsuna. He's going to do this and come back even if he has to drag himself back." Roksana told him.
With that decided, they moved on to their next piece of strategy. What Reborn said next, had another protest rising from not just Tsuna, but Ryohei too.
"You're going to make Lambo fight?! I can't let him go out there!" Tsuna protested.
"I'm against that too!" Ryohei added.
"Lambo-san will go! Will fight!" Lambo cheered.
"But Lambo's a shrimp!" Tsuna said.
"I'm not a shrimp!" Lambo retorted.
"Lambo may be a stupid, annoying shrimp-"
"You do realize that not only is he five, you're not much bigger than him, right?" Roksana asked cutting Reborn off.
"But he inherited a ring and is a rightful Vongola guardian. He was chosen for a reason." Reborn continued, as if Roksana hadn't said a word.
Roksana threw her hands in the air, rolling her eyes as she was completely ignored.
"Gwahahaha! You've finally realized Lambo-san's greatness!" Lambo declared.
"Hey Reborn, don't get him excited!" Tsuna insisted.
"Um...I also think that Lambo-san is an importance in order for the Vongola Family to show their true strength." Yuni told him.
"Yuni too? But...I'm still against it." Tsuna insisted.
"Ngh...Sawada. I'll take responsibility and protect Lambo to the extreme! Sound good?" Ryohei asked. "What's important is that we win! It'll be okay!"
"That's right, Ryohei. Just in case, I'll tell you how to undo the light hypnosis cast on him to release the switch." Reborn told Ryohei.
"You hypnotize Lambo?" Roksana asked, unsure how to feel about that.
Reborn merely gave her a grin before telling Ryohei the phrase that would "switch" Lambo. Once it was decided that Gamma, Gokudera and Lal would make up one defense team and Ryohei, Basil, Lambo, Nosaru, and Tarazu would make up the other, it was a matter of deciding when would be the best time to send Tsuna and Roksana in.
"I think I can answer that for you." Roksana said, making the others look at her. "If there comes a time when everyone's flames are low, when it looks like we've been backed into a corner, that's when you need to send me in. That is when I can make the most use of my trump card and my boxes."
"Is it really that great of a trump card?" Basil asked.
"Let's just say...it's a life saver. It'll also be a big surprise to all of you." Roksana said, fingers ghosting over the boxes attached to her thigh belt.
"Why can't you just tell us?" Gamma demanded.
"Because I'm a girl that appreciates a little sense of suspense as well as someone who is easily paranoid. If no one but me knows, then there's no chance of anyone else knowing. And since we've already proven that Byakuran has no knowledge of the Vongola boxes, and my trump card involves my Vongola box as well as two of my other boxes, he won't know anything about it. I want to keep it that way." Roksana retorted. "If he sees it coming, it'll screw up everything."
Seeing her point in this, Gamma didn't press her any further for information. With that, they finalized their battle plans. That would be as prepared for the fight the next day, as they could be. When they were sure what their course of action would be, they all tried to get some rest. Dawn would be all too soon and then they would be thrown back into a fight for their lives. While the others settled down, some talking in low voices, Roksana approached Yuni, Gamma, Tarazu, and Nosaru, carrying water and some food she had managed to pick up as they fled the sight of their last fight with the Six Funeral Wreaths. When the four looked up at her, she held up the water and food.
"Peace offering? I know I didn't leave on the best of impressions with two of you." she offered, making Yuni smile.
"Thank you, Roksana-san!" Yuni told her, as Roksana handed over the food and water.
"You can just call me Roksana. I'm not Japanese, well...not fully. I don't really do honorifics." Roksana told Yuni.
"That accent...it's Russian, right?" Gamma asked.
"Da. I was born in Russia. Moscow to be exact. In the past, my father is a politician there." Roksana told him, claiming a seat next to Yuni when Yuni offered it.
"And your mother?" Yuni asked.
"She was Japanese." Roksana answered.
"Was?" Nosaru asked, an energy bar half hanging out of his mouth.
"She was born with a weak constitution and was always sick. She passed away when I was young." Roksana told him. Tarazu scolded Nosaru, but Roksana just waved it off. "It's not a big deal. It might seem cold of me, but...I was glad when she finally passed away. She had suffered for so long, trying to stay strong for my sake. She looked so peaceful when it was all over. How could I begrudge her that?"
"I'm sorry for your loss." Yuni told her, nonetheless.
"Thank you."
"And that's your brother?" Gamma asked, gesturing towards the sleeping forms of Marc and Ryoka.
Roksana glanced over her shoulder at the two, a smile curling her lips as she watched the two sleep.
"My half-brother, yes. My father married shortly after I turned twelve. They had Marc not even a full year later. The girl with him is my daughter, Ryoka." Roksana said. When she got weird looks from the men, she laughed. "I suppose it would be more accurate to say, she's my future self's daughter. The Vongola Cloud Guardian is her father."
"I didn't know you two were in a relationship." Yuni said.
"That's because we're not." Roksana replied.
"You sure about that? I mean, if you have a kid, then-"
"We're not! He's my sparring partner, my punching bag. That's it." Roksana said, cutting off Nosaru. Nosaru threw his one good arm in the air in surrender. "I don't know how his future self got a child out of my future self. I wasn't exactly inclined to ask questions either."
From her tone, they could tell that that was the end of the discussion. None of them were willing to push it either.
"Roksana, may I ask you a question?" Yuni asked.
"Hmm? Sure." Roksana replied.
"Earlier, you said something about assassins?" Yuni asked.
"Oh, that." Roksana twirled the end of one pigtail around her fingers. "I've had several assassination and kidnapping attempts against me since I was a child. I told you, my father is a politician. A very influential one from a very old, rich and powerful family. Even though my parents weren't married, and my brother should, technically, be the rightful heir, I'm my father's heir. That has painted a target on my back for a very long time. And if it means protecting my brother from being in the line of fire, I'll gladly stay that way."
"So that's what you mean when you said it was the story of your life." Tarazu remarked.
"Yep. While it hasn't exactly been the easier life, it's made me who I am today. I've become cautious about those I let at my back, and I learned how to fight for the freedom I have and the things I want in life. Sometimes I feel like lamenting over the constant battle my life has become, but then I just slap myself in the face and get over it." Roksana said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Wouldn't it be easier to just leave it to someone else and run away?" Nosaru asked.
"You're right. It would be easier to run, but...I've never been about taking the easy way out. What fun or challenge is there in that?" Roksana asked. "If you try to take the easy way out, you'll never grow and then it'll just be constant running for the rest of your life. I'm not doing that. The only time I run, is to create a more fortuitous situation for myself. Considering I've survived over eight hundred assassination and kidnapping attempts, most on my own, I think I'm pretty good at that. After all...there's no greater weapon than knowledge."
"I can see why you're the Moon Guardian." Yuni told Roksana.
"Oh? And why is that?" Roksana asked.
"The Moon Guardian is suppose to be able to move through the dark times without being held back or burdened, and come out of it anew, pulling the family with her. At least, that's what Grandpa Reborn says. You're the only one among your fellow Guardians who is truly cool headed." Yuni told her, making Roksana look over her shoulder towards her friends.
"Yes, well...that's only because I refuse to be involved in that idiocy." Roksana said, jabbing her thumb over her shoulder to where Gokudera and Ryohei were going at it as quietly as they possibly could, calling each other names. "Sometimes I have to wonder if I truly am the most mature despite being the second youngest of the guardians. Though, if you want to be technically...I am the youngest guardian."
"How so?" Gamma asked.
"Yeah, I thought your Lightning Guardian was only five." Nosaru added.
"I was born on February twenty-ninth. On a Leap Year. Technically speaking, since my actual birthday only comes around every four years, I'm only three and a half." Roksana replied.
"You're the most mature three year old I've ever met." Yuni told Roksana, smiling.
"Why thank you." Roksana replied. Gokudera and Ryohei getting loud once more had Roksana heaving a sigh, her head hanging for a moment before she pushed herself to her feet. "You should try to get some rest. I have a pair of friends to beat the crap out of...uh, I mean, talk to. Excuse me."
Yuni smiled, her three comrades chuckling to themselves as Roksana turned and headed for her two friends. It only took on look at the approaching girl for Gokudera and Ryohei to part ways, both instantly finding an excuse to be doing anything else but talking to each other. Yuni smiled as she watched Roksana give the both of them a "I'm watching you" gesture.
Even with a battle looming with the next dawn, they were still able to act like the teenagers they were. That might not always be a good thing in Roksana's book, but, given the tension they had all been feeling lately, even Roksana could begrudge them that.
She just wished they would do it quietly.
END
Kyandi: If I had a child sleeping, I would have already knocked them unconscious.
Roksana: Yeah, but I can't do that. They might not wake up in time for the big fight.
Kyandi: Very true. That wouldn't be good.
Roksana: No, it wouldn't. But I'm loving all the names you're coming up with for Kikyou.
Kyandi: I am too! I could come up with a lot more if I wasn't afraid of offending some people.
Roksana: Right. We don't want to do that.
Kyandi: Nope, so I'll stick to what I can use.
Roksana: Just wait until Xanxus re-enters the picture.
Kyandi: Oh, boy, I'm going to have fun! So, with this said, everyone, enjoy and review.
Roksana: We'll be back tomorrow.
Kyandi: Bye-bye!
