Saiko squinted, the human world smog blocking her view. She put a hand over her brow to block out the sun, her red eyes searching.
"Looking for somebody?" asked Hanna, who sat beside Saiko, chipping violet nail polish off her sharp fox claws.
Saiko shook her head. "Nobody," she muttered to her best friend. Hanna looked up, pausing in her chipping. "Nobody my ass," said Hanna, "Who ya lookin' for?"
Saiko looked down at Hanna, her red eyes blazing. She grit her teeth and replied, "I said, no one."
Hanna stood suddenly, springing up. She stretched, then turned to face Saiko. She eyed her friend with curious green eyes, leveling Saiko's angry gaze. Saiko was the first to turn away. "No one," she said softly, a pained look on her face. "No one."
Hanna looked skeptical, but knew when she'd pressed too far. She shrugged, calling Van over. Van walked over, wondering what his adoptive mother wanted.
Saiko looked to Van, seeing Hanna catch him in a headlock. The two struggled, Hanna laughing and Van barking in protest. Van twisted to catch his mother off guard and pinned her arms behind her back. Hanna shrieked playfully, her tail twitching. Her ears flattened, giving in.
Van let go, and his mother caught him off guard and slapped him upside the head. He growled, sending the two into another play-fight.
Saiko smiled, wondering how her own twins were faring.
