Hiyori leaned against the railing of the submarine with Takeshi and Hibiki sleeping on either side of her. The sub was docked at the town to get the supplies after the breakfast was done.
She glared at Law who was sleeping against Bepo whom is sleeping as well. She had planned to go to the town to get the supplies for herself and the dogs when Law grabbed the collar of her top. He order her to stay in one spot as he apparently decided to take a nap.
Hiyori glanced at the hat that Law is wearing, fingers itched to snatch it. Takeshi woke up, noticing that the black-haired girl seem very focused and follow her gaze to see it had landed on the hat. He snickered in amusement, knowing Hiyori loved the soft stuff especially the animals since she like to sleep with them. He buried his head into the bag that was between Hiyori and him with Niiji(in a katana bag) tied, taking out the black spotted brown faux fur blanket since it is bit chilly.
Takeshi nudged Hiyori, snapping her out of the trance and saw he is holding the blanket. Hiyori smiled with a thanks as she wrapped around her as she laid down to sleep, pushing the hat to the side of her head to shade her face from the sun.
-Hiyori's dream-
A black phoenix sang a melancholy song...fire...dead bodies...tall man with shirt with heart patterns...
A older woman with torn, bloody phoenix/angel wings in colored dark blue, black, white, icy blue, and gold gave the Marine the parody of a grin as she committed suicide with her katana.
The red-haired woman singing a song while holding two black-haired babies in her arms.
Words singing 'You will one day return to place you once born in'.
-Dream end-
Green eyes snapped open in shock as Hiyori pushed herself up, hat and blanket fell down. Pupils widened in shock as she took a deep calming breaths.
Hiyori was haunted by her mysterious origins even her adopted clan tried to find her biological parents with no luck. So her adoptive parents decided to adopted her and made her part of their family by the use of blood adoption ritual that won't destroy the bond of biological parents but will be another set of parents. For some reason, fox/serval traits had show up when she was a toddler which her adoptive parents concluded that her biological parents must had creature bloodline that manifesting itself.
Few things she remember is the boy with same hair and eye color as her, green light flashing, and woman pleading. Hiyori fix up her hair that was messed up from her sleep. Green eyes landed on the still sleeping Law. She picked up her hat and back on her head as she leaned against the railing to get some more sleep.
Hiyori mumbled as she felt the claw poking her in the nose, making annoyed growls from her throat as she opened one eye to stare at Bepo. She made a face as she got up and put the blanket in the bag. Hiyori glanced at Law, who is leaning against the railing.
She wake both of them as she knew Law is planning to go into the town. She grabbed the brown leather collar and placed it on Hibiki's neck.
Murmuring the words to cast the glamour spell to cover Hiyori's markings and animal characteristics and Hibiki's holes, the magic tingled both of them as it disappeared as Law watched in interest.
They got off the sub as Hiyori stopped walking as Takeshi and Hibiki knew what she is planning. Bepo noticed it and Law did, too. He glanced at the black-haired girl who wore a polite and warm smile on her face.
"Thank you for taking me on your submarine, Trafalgar Law." Hiyori spoke softly. "As well treating our injuries. I have to go."
"Why?" Bepo asked.
Law saw the smile spread on Hiyori's face.
"Because I made a promise with my older brothers!" Hiyori grinned happily. "We will meet again one day, Law! You are too interesting to pass up!"
The flames flared up around her body as she disappeared into it. It faded away to the surprise of Law and Bepo to show the beautiful phoenix in colored dark blue, icy blue, black, white, red, silver, and gold with green eyes. The phoenix trilled as it flew over Law and Bepo.
Takeshi and Hibiki yelped as the wings sprouted from their bodies which is a hint to their non-dog heritage. They followed Hiyori as Law and Bepo watch. A smirk appeared on Law's face.
"Let's go, Bepo." Law smirked. "It seem that she had more surprises in her. She is very interesting one. We will meet her again soon."
Bepo nodded as the polar bear followed Law.
Hiyori and her dogs had flew over the ocean for several days, occasionally taking a break on the islands. She decided to stop at one of the island protected by the Enfys clan to get some more weapons and clothes.
She found one of the island with the town filled with the members of Enfys clan. She flew down and landed on the dock.
Hiyori changed into the human form as the dogs made their wings vanished. She stretched her body, getting the kinks out of her joints as the dogs did the same.
She start to walk with the dogs following her. She look around the dogs with the grin on her face. They greeted her and she greet back.
The black-haired girl found the clothing shop she was looking for and went inside. The dogs decide to stay outside. She look through the clothes and found the clothes she need. The clothes for winter and fall climates, several dresses, and few shoes. She laid them on the counter and paid to the cashier. She ask for the weapon shop and got the directions which she thanked the cashier.
She left the shop and told the dogs to follow her. Hiyori put the purchases away into the bag.
She saw the weapon shop with a sign saying 'Inuyasha's Weapon Shop'. She open the door and saw the dark red-haired man in a suit behind the counter with warm orange eyes, gold triangles on both cheeks, and his hair is tied in a ponytail. She grinned at seeing her cousin and old teacher who had taught her the summoning and magic skills.
Hiyori tackled him as Inuyasha came around the counter and landed on the floor with a 'oof'. He groaned in pain as Hiyori is crushing his ribs in a crushing hug with her own strength. Takeshi and Hibiki chortled in amusement at Hiyori's strength as Inuyasha's face is slowly turning blue.
She finally let go of him as he grasped for air. She gave him the most innocent expression that doesn't fool Inuyasha one bit and gave her the glare as he got up, cracking his back from one heck of a tackle.
Inuyasha glanced at his former student who is here to get the weapons.
"Go ahead and find something that is suited to you." Inuyasha spoke, gesturing his hand around the shop.
Hiyori nodded as she sat down, closing her eyes. She enter into her mind which is filled with beautiful forest, starry sky with full moon, and small castle that is filled with the traps. She look around for the cursed sword spirit and found Niiji sitting on the tree branch.
Niiji is a cursed sword that had taken on a male form in her mind with icy blue hair tied in a braid that reach to his knees, white skin, dark blue eyes, and dressed in gray kimono tied with white sash. She glanced at Niiji.
"Hello." Hiyori greeted warmly.
Niiji looked at his owner with a blank expression on his face as he gave a nod back. Hiyori knew why he is silent.
"I am here to tell you that is might be a chance I could get another cursed blade." Hiyori spoke.
Niiji let out a angry hiss and flipped the bird to her. Hiyori chuckled as she felt the tugging sensation that was in different differents. Eyebrows shot up in surprise and Niiji had a surprised look on his face as well. They looked at each other and let out a twin sighs at her strange luck.
Hiyori waved as she left her mind. She opened her eyes as she got up and stretched her body. She follow the tugging sensation as she grabbed the bow and quiver filled with arrows, rifle and small gun, normal-sized wakizashi which is a cursed blade which she got the connection with, and pale silver bo staff.
She laid them out on the counter and Inuyasha stared at the weapons. He pitied any fool who could pissed her off. He had heard from the member of the Enfys clan that Hiyori is a black-haired with temper of a red-haired that should be her hair color for that.
"What's the name of the wakizashi?" Hiyori asked.
Inuyasha wore a calm smile as he leaned over the counter.
"Its name is Tenmakioku." Inuyasha replied.
A lone eyebrow lifted in surprise as she translated the name.
"Demon remembrance or remembrance of demon." Hiyori spoke in amused tone. "Interesting name."
The amused look was replaced by a serious look on her face.
"Inu-san, was there any messages from our clan or higher summons for me?" Hiyori asked.
Inuyasha shook his head no. Hiyori took out the beri and paid for the weapons. She thanks him as she left the shop with Takeshi and Hibiki following her.
Hiyori head to the park that are surrounded by the trees and found a bench to sit on. Takeshi and Hibiki curled around each other to sleep under the shade of the tree.
She placed her bag on the bench and sat down with her legs crossed. She grabbed Tenmakioku from her bag as she laid on her legs and closed her eyes.
Hiyori went back into her mind in time to see Niiji is growling at the newcomer. She can see Tenmakioku had taken on the male form. He has messy pale silver hair with shaved undercut, dark brown skin, light purple eyes, and has lean build. He is dressed in more modern style which are off-the-shoulder black long sleeve shirt, orange tank top under the black shirt, black jeans with rips, holes, and silver belt with black studs, and red scandals. Facial markings which is bright yellow tomoe on the corners of his eyes.
She blinked as they start to argue with mix of curses and different languages. Hiyori chortled in amusement and took a deep breath.
"ENOUGH, BOTH OF YOU!" Hiyori shouted. "STOP AT ONCE, KORA!"
Hiyori grinned in a scary way that shows full of teeth while cracking her knuckles, scaring Niiji and Tenmakioku out. They gulped and went into the kneeling position.
"I know that cursed blades tend to fight when in presence of each other." Hiyori spoke calmly. "But I need both of your help to make my dream come true, kora?"
The males stared at each other and nodded. Hiyori sighed of relief, smiling so brightly that made the males blushed.
She mentally chortled in amusement, knowing what made them blush. She thanked them as she left her mind.
Hiyori opened her eyes and stretched her body, moaning in relief at the popping joints. She looked at Tenmakioku.
The sheath is unique mix of black and white in memorizing flame pattern. The hilt is light purple with dark brown diamonds of four. On the sheath is the pale silver bandages with bright yellow, red, and orange tomoe beads hanging from the bandage that was tied in a knot.
She tied the Tenmakioku to Niiji and placed the bags next to the dogs. She decided to explore the shops some more and brought few things.
Hiyori adjusted her bags as the dogs, now awake after she is done shopping, are ready to go. She grinned as she transformed into a phoenix as the dogs' wings sprouted from their back as they followed her.
They had flew for the six days and Hiyori noticed the familiar ship with the whale figurehead floating in the ocean. She let out a happy song and the dogs barked in reply.
She shifted to the human form expect the phoenix wings mix with angelic part, making her wings slightly transparent. She looked around for the familiar orange cowboy hat and found her brother is standing there talking to the large man who is a captain. She told them to go hide themselves as they nodded. They cloaked themselves and went to where the barrels are.
Hiyori grinned as she went into a fast blur and tackled Ace. He let out a loud yell as she startled him while Ace was talking to Pops and landed on the deck floor with a painful thud. It had drawn attention of the crew and captain to see the black-haired girl with nearly transparent wings, white tail poking from her bottom, and wearing a gray cowboy hat on her head.
Ace saw it is his younger sister and grinned happily as he pushed her hat off her head to scratch one of her ears. She let out a purr as Ace pulled her into a hug with her head laying on his shoulder. Tail twitched in happiness from receiving the attention.
Green eyes peered at Whitebeard as she let out another purr. Hiyori grabbed Ace's ear and gently yanked it for a signal to stop which Ace got it as he stopped scratching her fox/serval ear.
She shook her body as she glanced at the captain with a grin on her face. The crew is curious about the familiarity between Hiyori and Ace. She grabbed her necklace and threw it toward Marco standing next to Whitebeard as he caught it.
He saw the necklace with two familiar jolly rogers. One of them is theirs and Marco blinked in surprise and looked at the rather amused black-haired girl.
"Pops, it seem our wayward sister and daughter had came back." Marco said as he handed the necklace to Pops.
Whitebeard saw the necklace and the girl as he got it.
He let out a loud 'Gurara.'
"It seem so." Pops spoke warmly.
The crew caught up what Marco just said. They stared Hiyori, who went through a lot of changes, and let out a loud cheer for their missing family member coming back. Only Ace knew her story.
Marco noticed the markings covered her as well the devices on her human ears.
"Where were you, yoi?" Marco asked.
Hiyori was about to explain when the narcolepsy hit her suddenly and crumbled to the floor.
Her last words was "DAMN YOU, ACE!"
She start to snore loudly, reminding them of Ace's narcoleptic fits. The crew start to laugh their asses off along with Whitebeard.
Ace picked her up and took her to his room. He cuddled next to her as he fell asleep. Takeshi and Hibiki no longer covered themselves with the spell and chose to sleep. Hiyori murmured sleepily as she snuggled into the warmth caused by Ace's devil fruit power.
