So, Mizuki, Takara and Aki, Now, the Robbed Trio was on the case, and they were going to get things done... somehow.

"Do we even know who kidnapped Shuku? Or even if we're going in the right direction?" Mizuki asked suddenly. All three stopped short then looked to one another and sighed while sweatdrops rolled down their heads. "I'll take that as a no," the wolf muttered. "Okay, so how do we go about this?"

"I don't know. I don't see why we're even going after the kid. It's been nothing but trouble since we got it," Aki stated carelessly and looked around unexcited.

"Aki," Takara sighed, "she's very important.. We have to keep her out of evil's hands."

"Hey, for all we know, that guy that took it wants nothing more than a family and to love the brat." Aki said and shrugged it off easily.

Mizuki rolled her eyes and ignored her sisters' arguments. Instead, she focused on trying to catch the infant's scent. Suddenly, a small cry caught the trio's attention, immediately cutting off Aki and Takara's argument. They looked to one another quickly before bolting towards the noise. They hid amongst the trees and peaked out to find Shuku in the arms of her kidnapper.

The guy was getting angry because he could not get Shuku to stop crying. The wailing was getting to be too much for him, and he wanted to silence the child. There were limited means of doing such a thing, however. Usually, he would just slit someone's throat if they did not obey him or if they annoyed him, but this child was supposedly special, and his clients were paying him a great amount of money for him to turn the little brat into them. He just couldn't wait to drop the kid off, get his money, and be on his merry, quiet way.

Meanwhile, Shuku would not stop wailing. She cried and screamed and kicked and squirmed and made as much noise as she could so the guy would know that she was not happy. She wanted to know where Takara was. She definitely didn't want to be with this guy.

"Shut up, Brat!" the guy, Hule, exclaimed angrily, holding the child by the foot and letting Shuku dangle dangerously about five feet from the ground. This caused Shuku to squall all the more.

Takara glowered at the man from behind the trees. She didn't like the way he was treating Shuku. The hanyou was about to waltz right out there and let that bounty hunter know what she thought about his "parenting skills," but before she could, Mizuki grabbed hold of her arm. The wolf shook her head silently and mouthed for Takara to wait a little. The hanyou reluctantly did so, her fists clenched tightly as she surfed through the guy's mind to see who it was she was meeting.

Aki kept a look out for the clients Hule was to be meeting in the area at that time, and Mizuki was thinking up something to do about getting Shuku back. Meanwhile, Takara could not handle just standing there and watching Shuku being treated the way she was by Hule. She shrugged Mizuki's hand off her shoulder and gave the wolf a look that plainly said Takara wanted to just run in there and get Shuku away from the guy.

Just let Takara run out there, Mizuki, Aki said telepathically to her sisters, mostly Mizuki, after she does that, she can run back to the temple and me and you can fight him off, maybe kill him. It's not like the world will miss another bounty hunter.

Takara looked pleadingly at Mizuki, silently asking if they could do such a thing.

You're still pretty badly injured, Aki, Mizuki trailed off, unsure. She didn't want to waste time in saving Shuku, but Aki was still injured.

Forget my injuries. They're fine, Aki snapped back, glowering at Mizuki slightly.

Come on, Mizuki, you know she's too stubborn, Takara sighed, using all her self restraint to keep from jumping out there with her sisters' support or not.

Well, Mizuki pondered over everything for a moment until she continued, why don't we let Takara run in there and grab Shuku then all three of us head back to the temple? I think we should avoid a fight as much as possible...

You're always looking for a peaceful way out, aren't you? Aki asked with a small sigh. Her and Takara exchanged a look and nodded.

Sorry, but that's just the way I am right now... Takara's energy is zapped from lack of sleep, and you, Aki, are still fairly injured. We should avoid a fight, Mizuki said in a reasoning tone.

"You stupid child! Shut up!" Hule boomed angrily and held the baby up to his face to scream at the small girl, who continued to wail and cry.

She does kind of have a point, Takara muttered back in defeat, barely keeping herself standing by her sisters.

Well, she may have a point, but that guy is not going to let us snatch Shuku back without giving us some trouble, Aki said, stating a point of her own.

I'll handle whatever he tries to pull. Just as long as you two go ahead of me and hurry back to the temple, Mizuki told the other two, watching everything carefully in case of movement or anything suspicious. She could tell Aki was about to comment on something, but the wolf cut her off, And yes, Aki, I promise that if he shoots at me, I'll be sure to remember to move...

Aki sniggered at the wolf silently, deciding not to comment. Instead, the dog demoness and the hanyou silently agreed.

Mizuki mouthed the numbers as she held up a finger at a time until it got to three. That was Takara's cue to go, and she rushed out and snatched Shuku before hurriedly turning around and heading back to her sisters.

"What the..?! Hey, come back here!" Hule shouted in outrage and pulled out his gun, eyes looking around wildly for the hanyou. Then his eyes landed on all three of the Robbed Trio. "Give me back the brat!"

"She's not a brat!" Takara exclaimed angrily over her shoulder as she, Aki, and Mizuki bolted back towards the temple.

Hule growled and aimed his gun straight at Takara's back. Mizuki noticed this and screamed, "Hey, fast right!" Takara and Aki both turned on a dime, as did Mizuki, not even bothering to turn around to see what the wolf was talking about, and because the bounty hunter hadn't been expecting it, his bullet whizzed straight, only successful in hitting a tree, the sounds of splintering wood echoing. Hule was even more annoyed now as he kept sight of the Trio. Instead of shooting, he decided he would have to get close range if he wanted to retreive Shuku, who was whining at Takara and still crying a little.a, and Aki were off in search of Shuku. Hiei and Mizuki had had no luck before when they searched.

Shi: Anyways.. yeah. That's it, haha.
Aki: Well, aren't you articulate tonight?
