I awoke from my dreamless sleep some-what tired. I sat up and looked at Bankotsu. He looked so peaceful. Then the light bulb went off in my head. I quickly rummaged through my bag and found my camera. I turned it on and put the flash off. When I took a picture of Bankotsu my camera made a little barking sound. I smiled "A kodak moment." I said to myself. Then Bankotsu yawned.
"Morning sleeping beauty." I told him. He smiled at me and then looked at the camera.
"What's that?" He asked.
"It's a camera. It takes pictures of moments that you don't want to forget and it stores them." I explained. I brought up the picture I took of him. "That's me?" He asked. I nodded. I then put it back to picture mode. "I want to be able to remeber these moments. Even if this wasn't I planned on taking pictures of." I told him.
"What were you planning on taking pictures of?" He asked me. I shrugged.
"Where ever I ended up I guess." I told him. He took the camera from me and I showed him where to press the button to take a picture. He pointed the camera at me and pressed the button. It made a bark sound. "How can I tell if it took the picture?" Bankotsu asked me.
"When it makes the bark sound that means it has taken the picture." I told him. He nooded. I took the picture back from him and got next to him. "Smile!" I told him. We both smiled and I took the picture. I then looked at the picture we took. "Perfect." I said. I looked at Bankotsu and gave him a long deep passionate kiss. I turned of the camera and put it in my bag. I got up and looked at him. "We should get up if we want to find Yoshi and destroy him." I told him. He nodded and got up. I put on my equipment and put my bag on. I walked out of my room to see that no one was up. Bankotsu followed me and we waited for the rest to get up. "You should take pictures of the others." Bankotsu told me.
"That'd be a good idea." I told him. I got out my camera and waited for them to come out to take pictures.

As each of them came out of their different rooms I took a picture with them. The flash was off so they wouldn't get blinded by the light. Once they noticed the camera I explained to them what it was. I set the timer for the camera for ten seconds and took a group picture with everyone. I turned off the camera and put it in my bag. We were then off. We left without saying goodbye to Kimmi or Kuri since it was still early. We left to find clues to help me defeat Yoshi. After all I didn't want to die. I looked at the farmers that were working. I gave them smiles. We soon reached to a forest.

When we were walking down the forest when I hearda horse galloping in the direction we were going. I told them to step to the side. The figure soon came towards us. The guy and the horse came to a stop. The guy had a scarf over his mouth. He had blonde and sparkling blue eyes. He didn't seem hurtful at all. Bankotsu started to get defensive "Name yourself." Bankotsutold the guy.
"My name is Tamaki." The boy said. (Oh yes I know. I thought it'd be funny to put his 'ancestor' in this story)
"Well hello Tamaki. I am Emily and this is Bankotsu, Ginkotsu, Suikotsu, Jakotsu, Renkotsu, Amai and Itazura." I told him. He smiled at me and dismounted off of his horse. He took my hands and looked into my eyes. "Why you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. So beautiful that I have lost myself to your intoxicating eyes." Tamaki told me. I blushed and Bankotsu was getting furious. "Bankotsu calm down. He's not a bad guy." I told him. I gave Tamaki a smile. "Where are you guys headed?" Tamaki asked me. I shrugged. "We are going where ever to find General Yoshi." I told him. He smiled at me. "You think I could follow you? I've been in this forest for hours lost." Tamaki told me.
"Sure the more the merrier." I told him smiling. He nodded. He mounted his horse and turned his horse around. I walked beside the horse and Bankotsu walked beside me. 'I should take a picture of Tamaki! I should take a picture of every nice person I meet.' I thought. I got out my camera and turned the flash off. "Tamaki." I said. He looked at me and I took a photo of him. I turned off the camera and put it in my bag. I explained the camera to Tamaki. He some-what understood.
"So Tamaki how did you get into this forest?" I asked him.
"I was traveling to enjoy the sights when I came to this forest. I wanted to see the nature and I got lost. I was trying to find people for about three hours when I finally found you guys." Tamaki smiled.
"Well I'm glad you found us." I told him.
"Well thanks to your beautful face I wouldn't of been drawn to you guys." Tamaki told me.
I blushed. "Tamaki you are flattering me." I told him. I heard Bankotsu some-what growl.
"Bankotsu calm down. I'm already with you and Tamaki is being nice." I whispered to him.
"You're my women and I can't have someone else flirting with you." Bankotsu told me. I blushed 'This is going to be a problem. Tamaki sees that I'm not with Bankotsu and he will continue to flirt with me. This is going to be a long trip.' I thought. "Something troubling you?" Tamaki asked.
"No I'm just thinking." I told him. Our trip was silent for the rest of the way. We finally reached the edge of the forest. Tamaki dismounted his horse and came up to me. He gave me a big hug and looked at me in my eyes. "Until we me again, my little dove." He told me.
I blushed. "Bye Tamaki, it was a pleasure meeting you." I told him. He then mounted his horse and we parted ways. We soon reached a clearing and we sat down and relaxed. "I haven't had any visions lately." I told Bankotsu.
"They will come don't worry." Bankotsu told me. It was soon getting late andwe got dinner and ate it. Everyone soon fell asleep only leaving me and Bankotsu awake. We spent two hours talking about where I came from and cameras. I soon fell asleep in his arms.

I awoke to Bankotsu kissing me. "Is that how you are going to wake me up?" I asked him.
"Maybe." He told me.
"Well I hope you do that more often. I like it when you kiss me." I told him as I pulled his neck to direct his face to get closer to mine. I gave him a long deep passionate kiss. When we parted I got up and grabbed clothes out of my bag. I went to the woods and changed into my black crop top and black shorts. I left on my black converse and my black sweatshirt. When I came out of the forest with the fresh clothing Bankotsu gave me a devilish smirk.
"Down boy." I told him. I put the clothes back and sat beside him. Then out of nowhere the thought of Christmas popped into my mind. 'My god! it's the 21st of december! Christmas is in four days!' I thought.
"What's wrong?" Bankotsu asked me.
"Christmas will be here in four days." I told him.
"What is Christmas?" Bankotsu asked.
"I explain when everyone else is awake." I told him as we both waited for the rest of the group to wake up.
