"Simply to inform allies of our engagement"
Naraku walks to Yuna and holds her hand just to make her feel comfortable that they were to be wed.
Michael looked at the two and nodded knowing that Asuma seemed off that he would have to work with him alone for awhile to catch up to Riku since Riku had some training from Amoi, his mother Akina, and now Naraku so it's natural he was stronger.
"Enough for today tomorrow you train with Daevan so now go to your father and rest "
Riku nodded and jumped into the air towards the door looking back at Asuma
"Common Asuma lets find father!"

Yuna was silent as she contemplated that. Allies... she she supposed that they should know of their engagement. Although... something within her was still bothered by the fact that Naraku had allies--she knew it was just the small remainder of her previous viewings of him, but it was still there. However, that didn't mean that she couldn't ignore her qualms. Looking up at Naraku she gave him a smile as she laced her fingers in his.
"Thank you, my love."
Jumping after his brother, Asuma couldn't help but think that he really needed help. He was so weak in comparison to everyone here. He thought back to when Hikitsu had offered to train him, but he had refused. At the moment he couldn't remember why he hadn't agreed. He knew that offer was still open... if he got a chance, he just might go and see his uncle. But until then, he had to pretend as though nothing was up.
"Yeah... let's go." |

Nodding Naraku walked with Yuna holding her hand walking to the Arena to congratulate the boys. Soon he and Yuna would be married and he still needs to kill the generals and his deal will be done. Hearing the sound of the boys coming Naraku stops and slows down time around them so him and Yuna have some time to get away.
Riku's eyes goes back and forth quickly wondering in his head why is he going so slow then he sees his father and Yuna walking towards them with normal speed.
"what the?!?! Help!"
Walking past Riku towards Asuma Naraku starts time again as Riku runs into a wall and falls on his back.
"Good work boys now continue your training tomorrow "

Yuna hid a chuckle of amusement by coughing, not wanting to seem as though what had just happened appeared amusing to her. It had, and for that she was ashamed of herself. Really, thinking that a poor boy running into a wall was funny-- which it wasn't supposed to be. Glancing back at Riku she smiled.
"That was very impressive, Riku. Your training is really going well so far."
Asuma bowed as the two approached, glad that he had been going a lot slower than his brother--otherwise he knew that he'd probably be there on the ground with Riku. Looking up he met his mother's eyes for a few seconds, returning the small reassuring smile that she gave him. |

Looking at Riku and he sits up and rubs his head and smiles hearing his father Naraku does not show emotion looking at Riku and back at Asuma and Yuna. Naraku walks down a corridor leaving the three there as he heads to his throne room for peace and quiet.
Michael, Raziel, Daevan, and Tessa all walking down towards Yuna and the boys. Riku smiles and Jumps on Daevan's shoulders as Tessa watches with a smile.
"We train with you right Daevan?"
Daevan walked with Riku on his shoulders and nodded as he stopped and looked at Yuna and Asuma. As he walked by them as the others seemed to teleport in different directions.
"Come with me...I'll show you to the rooms"
Speaking in his deep tone of voice that when Riku first heard it he was terrified but he got used to it.

Asuma bit his lower lip, hesitating even as Yuna took a step to follow Daevan. It was now or never, so he had to take his chance. Hoping she wouldn't say no, he began to speak.
"Mother... do you mind if I come later? I have somewhere I need to go."
Yuna raised an eyebrow, staring at the boy suspiciously. When he squirmed under her intense scrutiny she mentally sighed. She really had to teach him how to hide his emotions more thoroughly. Looking at him was like looking at an open book--he was too easy to read.
"Yes, I do mind. You cannot travel around on your own."
He flinched, lowering his head in shame. She really did know him too well. Admittedly he was disappointed that she had said no, but he had expected it.
"Alright..."
Sighing, the woman gave her son a long-suffering stare before turning back to Daevan.
"I'm sorry for the delay. Please, lead the way." |

Within the Throne room it was dark but suddenly the torches lit on fire as Naraku appeared within his chair with his fist on his chin he closed his eyes. As the torches all expect one went out and the one that stayed lit was the one on the ceiling. Resting Naraku used his powers to look through all the samiyosho's that were outside watching the grounds, after hearing Asuma and Yuna he waited making sure he would keep an eye on him.
Riku looked back at Asuma and Yuna with a curious look and shrugged it was none of his business. Daevan walked through the corridors only two stop infront of two doors next to one another. Riku jumped off Daevan's shoulders and landed to the door on the right opening the door revealing a massive room with weapons, bed, chairs, art, and equipment as he sighed and walked in.
"The room on the left is Asuma's"
Opening the door revealing another massive room with a huge bed, chairs, and dresser with cloths within it and things of his from back home, along with a wolf puppy. Riku walked into Asuma's bedroom and was in awe
"I think your room is bigger then mine"
Daevan looked at Yuna and bowed.
"Your room is next to Lord Naraku's near the throne room"
Daevan walks down the corridor leaving the three

Yuna was about to call out a thanks to Daevan, when she realized that she had no idea where the throne room was. She would have called out to him and asked, but he was already too far away. She mentally sighed again before leaning against the doorway of Asuma's room. The room really was quite impressive.
Asuma stared around the room in shock--never in his life had he seen so much space. Usually he and his mother had to share a room at an inn, for that was the only time they actually stayed indoors at night. He looked over to Riku in confusion, not understanding what the other boy meant.
"I wonder why that would be..." |

A samiyosho flew through the corridors and found Yuna floating there as if it was going to lead her to her room. As it seems Naraku told it to guide her since Daevan went away. Awaiting for her to follow it.
Riku scratched his head and shrugged.
"Well your room seems bigger my room has alot of equipment and weapons yours doesn't so it's bigger"
Riku yawned and patted Asuma and his head and walks out the room to his room and closes the door as if he was controlled by something he simply jumped into bed. But unfortunately that is how he is when he is tired. Leaving the two alone starting to snore a little

Yuna was about to follow the Saimyosho when she saw the glint in her son's eyes. Rolling her own gray-blue ones, she went over to him and placed her hand on his head, causing him to look up at her in response. She smiled lightly, shaking her head.
"Follow your brother's example and get some rest. You can always train later, after you're back at full strength again."
The boy nodded, and returned her smile before stepping away. He'd be good and do as she said--for now anyway. It would be hard though; he really did want to try out all of the equipment and weapons in his room.
"Yes mother. I will rest."
Smirking, she nodded acknowledgment before turning to follow the poison insect. |

The samiyosho flew through the corridors looking back at Yuna making sure she followed it. As imps walked through the corridors guarding the halls coming to two huge metal doors. Naraku still sits inside his throne room resting, as Samiyosho flew past the throne room to a down the hall to a door he floated above.
Naraku opened his eyes as the crimson eyes shined senseing Yuna near with his chin on his fist he closed his eyes again.

Yuna continued to follow the samiyosho, watching the imps as they walked past. She was a bit unnerved by their presence, although she knew that she would get used to them in time. And time, was something that she had an abundance of it seemed. She felt her heart drop, and her eyes saddened, the only visible emotion change. She wasn't a human, nor was she a demon. She wasn't even a half-demon.
She called herself a demon, because of her own inability to age, as well as the mysterious powers that she received upon being cursed. But that wasn't exactly the truth. Forcing her thoughts down, she decided that it didn't matter what she was.
As they passed by the throne room, Yuna gazed at it longingly, knowing that Naraku was beyond the door. When the insect stopped, so did she, slowly opening the door, holding her breath. |

Revealing a huge room fit for a queen. The Samiyosho flew in the room and floated above the door to the balcony watching her as it casts a shadow. The room it's self is as huge as the boys room but larger.
"And is it to your likening?"
Naraku's voiced echoed into her head as he stayed in the throne room wanting to see how his soon to be queen is doing. Not only watching her but the other fighters and even some of his enemies. The Samiyosho slowly flew out the room to give her privacy.
"If you like your more then welcome to speak with the fighters about the preparations for the marriage"

Realizing that she was still holding the breath of air that she had taken in before entering the room, Yuna quickly released it. The room was absolutely spectacular--much more than she would ever be able to dream of.
"This is... this is amazing..."
As she continued to look around the room in awe, she still found it quite difficult to breathe. She had to keep reminding herself of the steps to doing so, much to her own embarrassment. But in all fairness, she had only seen such splendor on a few occasions when she had the good fortune to assist a Feudal lord. But of course on all of those occasions she never had the chance to actually use any of the fine rooms.
"I'll do that... Naraku... you do not need to go to so much trouble. I've lived as a wanderer for hundreds of years. I do not need such splendor to please me..." |

"This is for you to decide would you prefer to find lodging on your own very well the room will always be there for you"
Naraku lifted his head as the torches light up again brighting the room. The Imp comes into the throne room with a notice, the imp comes up to Naraku and hands him the message. Reading it he then burned it to ashes as the imp quickly leaves the throne room. Holding out his hand black holes appeared in the room, snapping his finger a spirit came from out of Naraku summoning giant wolfs to go through the black holes as the exit from outside the castle as if the castle needed extra protection.
