R&R longer note at the end

The blonde miqo'te looked around her, her knifes raised her senses on high alert as she looked from one to another wondering which one would try to harm her. Minori and Hibari floated to the cart checking on the worn out Murasaki, Miyabi kept her blade in hand her eyes staying locked on the new comer, Asuka's bow was raised an arrow positioned at the miqo'te's head.

"I'll ask again" Miyabi said as the blonde girl turned to face her "Who are you?"

"None of your concern human" the girl shot back before her eyes fell on Asuka before looking at the blonde viera at her feet "This viera is my prey, that one is my prey, I will make them pay one by one then human your group shall fall as well". Without warning the blonde raised her daggers bloodlust built up to bursting as she darted them in the direction of the unconscious Kafuru, sensing the danger Asuka drew her bow back aiming for the girl before the sound of metal on metal rang through the air as the miqo'te jumped back her daggers flying from her hands as she stood unarmed looking around startled.

"D-don't harm her" came a calm voice Miyabi looked over seeing the purple haired girl resting against a barrel her shurikens retracted "Pl-please, she isn't do-doing it herself". Asuka lowered her bow as she retrieved the miqo'te's daggers hooking them at her belt before checking on her fallen ally, the new comer looked at the purple haired girl feeling a little confused and angry at being stopped by a human.

"Your lying, they attacked us for no reason. Those viera scum and that human witch" the girl shot out as Asuka's eyes quickly darted to the blonde startled by the news as the blonde's eyes darted to her daggers "Return my weapons to me now". Asuka stayed still trying to process the news being told to her, so that was why the village was empty but why would they attack the miqo'te's? They had always been on good terms with them but now that was shattered because of the witch's scheme, just what was she planning?

"If we return your weapons will you listen to us?" Miyabi asked snapping Asuka out of her thoughts as she looked from the white haired girl to the blonde once more "Asuka, return them". The brunette nodded removing the blades from her belt holding them out to the younger girl as Murasaki slowly made her way over her strength beginning to return after her defensive move, the blonde looked from each one feeling herself stay on guard as she took her weapons quickly.

"My name is Miyabi, this is my ally Murasaki and our companions Hibari and Minori of the fairy tribe along with Asuka of the viera. The one who brought the other viera to your village, we know who she is, we're looking for her" Miyabi began "She took over this village with a spell that I assume she learned under her servitude to the demon lord, this girl is not your enemy she's being controlled and from what I was able to decipher from your words it would seem your village has fallen to the same fate. You have my apologies we didn't get here sooner to stop her, please we need you to tell us more of what happened".

"Pe-perhaps we should go back to Hanzō fi-first" Murasaki spoke up "We're all worn out, if sh-she should return here we would lo-lose". The blonde miqo'te considered the girl's words before slowly nodding returning her weapons to their holsters, Miyabi slowly returned her sword to its sheath moving to Murasaki hooking her arm over her shoulders with a smile helping her lover back.

Asuka tied her rival and friend's wrists with a length of rope removing her bow as she lifted her up in her arms, she looked down at her hoping there would be a way to free her from this nightmare.

Haruka sat in her new throne legs crossed her left hand stroking the head of a purring Ayame staring at her new doll collection stood to attention in front of her, Renka and Hanabi stood to the sides cooling her down with two large fans as Yozakura fed her grapes from a bowl. Despite how content she felt something was still missing, the faces of the two heroes who ruined her perfect lifestyle at the castle as she eyed the strong looking team she had built up, with this group those two would fall but that wasn't enough for her before she could reach them she needed to take care of some personal business first.

"Kafuru is taking a lot longer to track that traitor than I imagined, what a shame she'll miss out on our next fun adventure" Haruka said looking to the two sisters near her as she took a grape offered to her "Thank you my sweetheart, now then your goal for the next few days is to train with each other, I need you all stronger with perfect team work because one small slip up and my plan will fail. Now get going". The girls nodded saluting as they left to train, she indicated Yozakura, Renka, Hanabi and Ayame should go as well as they reluctantly left. Standing up Haruka wondered to the large map on the back wall of the main hall looking over it, she ran her finger across it as she smiled once those two were under her spell this world would be hers.

Despite her anger at the demon lords defeat she had come to terms with the possibility of replacing her, controlling the world with her doll army but first she would need to deal with another problem. Her finger landed on an empty spot of the map with a smirk, her powers had grown enough to sense it, her confrontation with them had made it easier to trace their magic.

"Soon those two will be mine but first" Haruka muttered to herself as she turned her back on the map "Time to pay a little detour visit to the hidden village of Gessen".

The unexpected group wondered into the village of Hanzō splitting up as Asuka took Kafuru to the doctor Ryōki to get her checked over for injuries as the rest nodded agreeing to meet at the usual café, watching her go Miyabi led the rest to their favourite café as the pushed the door open they were greeted by the smiling face of the miqo'te maid and friend Yumi.

"Welcome back-nyan, always a pleasure to-" Yumi stopped midsentence as her eyes fell on the blonde miqo'te squinting at the girls face before she suddenly took a step back "Shiki-nyan?" The blonde looked up surprise crossing her eyes as she looked over the grey haired maid as memories of a girl who left the village years ago flooded back, the same pale skin those big sincere icy blue eyes.

"Y-Yumi-nyan? Is it really you?" the girl named Shiki asked as the girl nodded before waving a hand leading them to a table in the back to avoid being overheard "I can't believe it, we didn't hear from you for so long the village were starting to wonder if you were even alive anymore".

"I'm sorry-nyan, life got a little hectic when the demon lord took over" Yumi explained "Then these two defeated her and saved us all-nyan but what are you doing here-nyan". Shiki looked down at the table thinking how to explain before looking up launching into her story, the group sat silent as shock crossed through Yumi's eyes after she was done Shiki fell silent once more as the group processed the news.

"Heroes of Hanzō, I beg of you" Yumi said cupping Miyabi and Murasaki's hands in her own "Please, safe my village".
