Tina: Hiya everyone! I'm back early since Fox decided that he and Sakura needed a little ALONE time. . .

Cherry: and I get to work today! *frowns* although I WOULD have liked a three-some. . . Ne, Tina onee-chan. . .

Tina: Nani?

Cherry: Why don't we join them after this?

Tina: *sweatdrops* I uh. . .you-he. . .Actually, I have nothing to say to that. . .

A guy from backstage chucks a book at Tina's head.

Tina: OW! *glares at guy hiding behind the curtains* Oh yah, I have an appointment after the show. *grins evilly* But you guys go ahead and have fun though. . .

Cherry: by the way, she doesn't own any of this, seeing as how all the ideas are mine. . .

Tina: *grumbles about impudent muses on her way off the stage while dragging Cherry behind her*

Kinza and Tinza went into the chambers that had been given to the children. Actually, the room had been Shippo's but since Rin usually had nightmares. . .Well, lets just say that they lessened whenever she had someone sleep beside her. It made her feel safe and she hadn't had a bad dream ever since she moved into his room.

The twins set the children gently on the large bed and tucked them in.

Kinza closed the door behind her quietly and sank down onto the floor beside her sister.

Tinza cracked open an eye and looked at her.

"What?" she asked Kinza.

"I don't know why, but I have a feeling that we should stick close to the pups at all times," Kinza replied, leaning back on the wall.

"So do I. Why do you think that we're out here anyway?"

"We're going to have our work cut out for us in a few days. . ."

"Mmm. . .I'm betting that HE wants the new pups."

"Yeah but we can't even tell Lady Kagome about it. She'd freak out and probably even think that we're on HIS side."

"Which we're not."

Kinza snorted. "Got that right."

"We should just stick close. You saw it," Tinza said, wrapping her arms around her knees. "She'll change any time now. . ."

"We just have to wait. And stop scratching at your clothes! It's making me nervous!," Kinza said, swatting Tinza's hand which was scratching at her arm.

"But it itches!" Tinza whined.

"Too bad."

"I still don't see why I couldn't wear the same thing."

"Because they wouldn't be able to tell us apart."

"Then I'll wear the green sash. I don't care what I do, I just want out of this clown suit!"

"Fine fine! Go and change already," Kinza said. She watched as her twin darted out from her sitting position and disappeared in a few seconds. "Sheesh! And she calls ME insane. . ."

Tina: *smiles and drags Cherry off-stage shouting over her shoulder* Thanks and see you all next time!!!

Guy wearing black cloak steps out of the shadows and glances at the set. His hands glow purple and they move together like he was clapping or something. The curtains close and he bows to the audience before smoke exploded at his feet. When it clears, he's gone. . .
