"You have been searching for me?" Pandora pondered as she gazed into the short, muscular man's blue eyes and pointed at him with her left index finger. She suddenly felt Carla's hand wrap around her right one and a second later the two fused. She had no idea what kind of space they were in, but it seemed as though as long as they were in Carla and her could be separate temporarily. Now though, the young girl wanted them fused back together.
"I have no idea what you want but you're scaring my host," she told him.

After all of the years Fujin had spent searching for Pandora he never would have expected that the entire search would come to an end like it was doing right now. The excitement was noticeable in his body as his hands shook a small bit. Each word any of the parties made in this realm seemed to echo and as such only seemed to create an intimidation factor to what was going on. Fujin figured that his presence was going to set off some fear but never did he expect the small girl to actually step behind Pandora for the desire to somehow avoid the patriarch of the Muzai clan. This did not seem to interrupt his thought process however as he never once took his eyes off of Pandora. He had heard stories about Pandora from his grandfather about how she had obtained immense amount of power after tricking the gods and stealing it in order to protect those she cared about. It was this inspiration that fueled the would be founder of the Muzai to strengthen himself to the power that was necessary to fight against the threats that faced Earth. It was with this power that Fujin used to rise to prominence.
Everything the Muzai clan had today was in some part owed to Pandora. Without that desire to reach her levels and to try and find her the clan most likely would have never been able to achieve what it had in the past. The ironic part was that Fujin only came to know of Pandora because his ancestors, and those of Kurosanai, had actually fought against her for a time as they struggled to gain some degree of power. Whether or not Pandora knew this was a moot point. Fujin was finally in the company of the one that he had idiolized and obsessed over. It was in that moment that he began to wonder what would have happened that day. Perhaps the events that transpired would have gone radically different and the Muzai would have never slipped to the place they are in now where only one member of the entire clan for the last several generations is even capable of accessing the gifts that he had left for them.
“I must apologize for if I am a bit shakey but it has been a goal of mine to find you. You see I grew up on stories of your exploits as a young child. It was you that provided me the inspiration to create the gifts that I have passed down to my descendants…though it appears that most proved to be too inept to continue on with the ability to use them leaving me with this fool.” Fujin indicated with a wave of his hands. Since appearing Fujin was not overly impressed by Kurosanai, he could see everything that he saw through his eyes, the rest of the clan called him a prodigy but in the patriarch’s eyes he was far from it. Both of his son’s had been able to do more than what Kurosanai was capable of at half of his age.
“As for your host if she does not want to witness a conversation between two of the most powerful humans in all of the history of Earth that is her problem. Not mine. I have spent centuries searching for indications that you still existed. To think that the AnAn clan had you the entire time is shocking. Tell me when do you plan to return to your full power?” Fujin stated bluntly at first. He was not a man that was overly compassionate person to begin with. Add to the fact that he was frustrated with what he had seen of his clan over the last several generations only made his blood boil more. The question though was more forceful as if he was demanding an answer right then and there. Fujin wanted to know because even if this Izanami was the leader of the clan now he may be able to broker a deal with not the AnAn family but rather the spirit that he knew the leader was after, Pandora.

"I see," Pandora stated as she listened to the man's tale, "You took something of mine, probably the Aoiro Tatsumaki Boufuu,or 'The Blue Twister Storm' and created a silly eye technique to see everything around you. You know, your version version of my original technique is abysmal." She placed her hand over her chest and then fanned her face in a vain manner adding, "but that's besides the point. Carla, my little host, won't be speaking to you because you just seem to be the kind that's power hungry and has definitely already scared her."
Despite the fact that Fujin was only eight inches taller than her Pandora faced him proudly and pondered if she should answer his question on when she was going to have Carla gain her power. She thought about it and noted there was nothing bad about telling a probable date to this guy. He was never going to catch up to them in power, even if he somehow managed to possess Kurosanai properly. She rubbed her right index finger against her bottom lip and told him, "I would like to return to full power via Carla as soon as possible. When that date will be is unknown, but by that point I will do my best to make sure scary threats and men like you are nailed into coffins. I remember meeting your people and I must say I was not entirely impressed with them. Though my reasons why are something I cannot remember. Maybe it was your village setup, maybe it was just the people in it, but history proved you all survived and so did the little group I moved in with after one of your kind or someone near them killed me."
Her eyes flashed with red energy and she uttered, "You know because of your people I can probably never use the technique I mentioned ever again. Carla and I have completely different ki auras. If I were to use this technique with her I would have to train her to a great extreme to do so, probably nearly kill her in the process, and then maybe learn after using it that it was going to limit her life span or something. And honestly, the thing I would like is to live a very long time because one of those people in the past took my short life away from me just as I was turning nineteen. I was a hero you know to all of the lands, but yours."
She pointed an accusing finger at Fujin and once she had lowered and continued to speak more. She had a lot to get off her chest. "What do you want with me and Carla? Do you want to strike a deal, be our friend, turn Kurosanai into a slave for us to use to our heart's content? Why are we stuck inside a space within his mind. I can only assume we are in such a place because of the amount of energy flowing around us. It's ridiculous that you've made a home in here since it's what a typical villain with our kind of power would do."

A rip off of her technique? Was he some kind of child beneath her foot only to be chastised? She was not giving him the time of day and that was a mistake. Fujin Muzai, the man responsible for turning back some of the most deadly threats to the planet during the time before he was born, the time during his life and some of the most deadly since his death to current day. Vector? The android that was the previous ruler over Earth, the one that Burradori launched a war to remove would have been eliminated single handedly by Fujin. In truth Fujin was perhaps one step shy of reaching a level that Pandora would consider her equal. If she could not see that then in her old age she had become ignorant.
“My eyes only draw inspiration from your technique in their appearance. I don’t need to rip off your technique as I am far more powerful than a little runt.” Fujin snapped back. He did not take kindly to being reprimanded by someone even it was his childhood hero. He did not take well to authority, perhaps he had more in common with Kurosanai than he would care to admit. “I have fought and protected this planet long after your death. And even in my death my power lives on through my family, something that even you could not do without breaking the seal that held you. If I remember you were bound and lost to the world, am I correct?” The last little bit was more than a known fact to Fujin but it was more a jab at the spirit.
“I do not require a host to exist. My time on Earth drew to a close a long time ago. I am simply a spirit now. I live on as long as the Muzai exist. And I may pop in whenever I want,” Fujin chuckled as he shifted on his foot and tossed his hands up in a mocking fashion. “As for what my ‘kind’ did to you talk of ancestors that were long since dust by the time I walked the Earth. Your grudges blind you Pandora from the potential of what our powers combined could do. Sure I could broker a deal where we could subjugate Carla and Kurosanai to our will but what is in it for me? I cannot inhabit his body forever for I am dead. Long since dust myself.”
Fujin turned his back and walked towards nothingness with a few steps. He had to admit that he had never been in this realm before. Perhaps this was due in fact to the instant that Carla had touched Kurosanai the power between the two once great Earth heroes clashed in a way that it created this strange pocket dimension somewhere between the Afterlife and that of the world of the living. A low chuckle could be heard emanating from the spirit’s body.
“Here in this realm, created by the clash of our powers, somewhere in between the realm of the dead and the realm of the living. I propose to you something that should sound intriguing to you Pandora. I propose a child, born of the great power of the Muzai combined with the great power of Pandora herself. This child, this child would be stronger than any of warrior that this generation has ever seen. That child would have the power and potential to shape the universe as they please. That child would finally be able to bring peace not only to this planet but to all planets. The power of a god mixed with another.” Fujin proposed in grandiose fashion.

"I may have misspoken..." Pandora stuttered as she felt power coming off of Fujin. Carla would have never been able to sense this, but it was indeed near equal to hers. She sighed and smacked the front of her face for being so stupid. The time Pandora remembered Fujin was from when he was still a pipsqueak and a simple breath of air could easily send him or other normal beings flying. She had thought she was in Kurosanai's mind since Carla had last touched him before coming here. But the dense air around them was in fact her own power unleashed from her body coming in contact with Fujin's might.
"I was bound and lost to the world," she uttered as he turned his back on her and began to walk away, "but that does not mean I still do not have power. You are a spirit that may come and go as you please, but I have no doubt that's caused trouble for people. I couldn't think of doing that myself so I took to hiding within my favorite toys, the lovely swords I'm sure your charge as no doubt seen." She walked over over to him and reached her hand out, "I don't want to subjugate Carla nor myself to anything. Simply free her and myself from my wretched mistakes. If you want a child with me, with her, then help Carla reach her maximum potential and I will freely let her inhabit my body. She's far too young as you say, but if she inhabits my body once she reaches deity like status I'm sure it will add a five or six years maybe more to her and make her appropriate for a proper wife to you, or rather Kurosanai."

Fujin could feel the shift in tone of the conversation. Pandora had underestimated him and was now backing off a bit. He wanted respect and she appeared to finally be giving it to him. It was the respect that he had earned over the years and ever since he demanded it of everyone. Even the near god like child hood hero of his when he turned back to face her Pandora was right next to him. The beauty radiated off of her body and was just as the legends spoke of. Fujin listened carefully to the way Pandora spoke. No longer did she speak down at him but rather like she considered him an equal. And it was this equal footing that made Fujin feel like he was actually appreciated. Listening to Pandora speak Fujin knew that the deal was all but done. The two great spirits had agreed to make a child that would have the potential of being one of the most powerful beings in the universe.
“This is the moment I have been waiting for so long my lovely Pandora. I have always wished to unite the two powers of my clan with yours,” Fujin said with a knowing smile. She did not know but he had not particularly cared how the Pandora power came into the possession of the Muzai even if it meant stripping the woman of her godly powers somehow. This method though would work just as well. His clan would live on with a new true prodigy, one that would bring the universe into a new era. “If Kurosanai must train Carla to reach her utmost potential in order to release you from your prison then that is what the boy will do. It will be at that time that your end of the bargain will be upheld and you will produce a child with the boy.”
Fujin could feel Kurosanai beginning to pull back and try and take control back from the patriarch of the modern day Muzai clan. He knew his time was quickly drawing to a close and would have to wrap this little meeting of theirs up. “If there is nothing else then why don’t we shake on it? Bound by our word we will fulfill our respective ends of the bargain.” With that Fujin would thrust he hand forward. If Pandora accepted the handshake the world would suddenly disappear in a bright white flash to return back to the normal world of the living. If she instead chose to continue speaking Fujin would have to apply more force in trying to fight off Kurosanai for a bit longer in order to try and abide his childhood hero.

"I don't mind shaking hands to seal a deal, but make sure I don't forget nor Carla does please mark us with your power. I've lately become an airhead to historical happenings, etc. and I almost feel like it's cause of how long I've been trapped in an inanimate object. I just hope you're happy with us producing a child for you because as much as I might want to produce a child for you and myself Carla nor I have actually had one. I simply never reached the age nor point of marriage and Carla, as you know, is still far too young. Frankly though, my clan's policy of needing to be twenty before getting married was kind of far fetched during my era. A lot of my friends friends were already dead by then. So don't let Kurosanai die on me and we'll be good." The prospect of a strong baby excited but only as long as her chosen partner still remained alive. She hated to think of Kurosanai as a through breed hose, but that was how Fujin seemed to be offering him to her.
Pandora then took the man's hand and smiled. She could feel a warmth radiating from him released some of her power into his palm. It would help act as an extra jolt to wake the young man up, but at this point Pandora would need a trade off to awaken Carla whose consciousness was partially defunct in this land between the dead.

‘One deal down.’ The thought flashed through Fujin’s mind as a grand smile was displayed across his face. He did not know what this Izanami had planned for the two hosts to these great spirits back in the real world but it did not matter. Her bond, that she created, would not carry nearly as much as the agreement that was made here and now. A powerful child would be born in time that would carry the power of a god and one of the greatest families in the history of the planet Earth. This child would restore peace to the universe. Pandora might not have been able to see it since she was confined to Carla and he knew Kurosanai did not know. The once great peace the universe saw over the last few centuries was about to be shattered and there was no chance of that being prevented. Chaos was coming; it would only be a matter of time before it touched upon each corner of the universe.
As the light tore the small pocket dimension apart Fujin would return back to his resting place. When he disappeared any memory of what might have just happened would be wiped from the prodigy of the Muzai’s memory. All he would remember would be being touched by the young Carla. His eyes would snap back open as the heat from the sun beat down on his skin, the smell of the sweet air running along his nose as the wind gusted by and the sounds of on lookers beginning to question what was going on. The last bit was not something the young prodigy wished for and instantly he pulled away from the young woman’s hand. He rolled backwards, onto his shoulder and then seemed to pop into the air for a brief second before landing on his feet. The searing pain was long gone and now he was left wondering what had just happened.
“You…what did you just do?” Kuro asked hesitantly. He did not remember her having any kind of healing properties. If she did she was holding out during that fight with the old man that was as powerful as the Lemur King of Newbraska. He could have seriously used some help when the old coot decided to poke the prodigy in the eyes like a low level prick. I mean seriously. Who pokes someone in the eyes?! Especially when they can fire frickin energy blasts from their hands! The very thought of the old man only seemed to make his blood boil and he knew that the little girl was not in a very good mood to begin with since he continued to open his mouth and continually shove his foot down his throat. He closed his eyes again and let out a deep sigh.
“How did you cause the intense pain that was running through my head to disappear? Last I recalled you did not have any healing properties and you didn’t mention anything so what is going on here?” Kurosanai asked with a tone of genuine curiosity and frustration over the old man. One day he was going to slap him across the face for what he did and then he would have the last laugh.

Light filled Carla's body and with a sudden realization Pandora knew Fujin had sealed the deal. This light rippled out and with it not only did Kurosanai forget his memories but Carla as well. She blinked as she stood over Kurosanai for a moment hearing his question and pondering, "I don't know what I just did. I don't think I did anything, but I came over here out of concern since you've been flailing about the last five minutes like you were choking or dying."
She scratched her head while he stood on his feet before her and noticed Pandora enter her mind briefly and shrug at the incident. The woman was hiding something from them, but she did not know what. She did not care though as long as Kurosanai was fine. She gulped and answered him after thinking his next question over by saying, "I definitely don't have healing powers. I only have battle prowess and techniques for combat. That said, maybe you were the one who healed yourself. You already have amazing eyes so maybe you have an amazing body or healing factor."
She poked him on the tip of his nose after saying this and for some reason felt very odd after doing this. Her power sparked from her finger and she pulled it back only to find her belly was now glowing. Untying her kimono, she quickly turned so the old Muzai man and others would be able to see her less and let the outer layer of clothes fall off slightly. Underneath her kimono's fabric on the front side there existed an inner piece of kimono called an Okumi, something which she opened up and revealed her bare stomach to Kurosanai briefly, it was important for him to see because a heart-shaped tattoo swirling with Kurosanai's blue ki and Carla's red ki rested on her stomach.
"I know I somehow revived and maybe I forgot. Yet what is this I may ask?" She pointed at the tattoo and poked it whereupon it stopped glowing. This was Pandora and Fujin's agreement in a physical form since spirits just had to leave their mark somehow. This new tattoo currently rested directly above her belly button. Carla though did not remember ever getting such a thing. Why would a thirteen year old do something that crazy? It baffled her and she began to hiccup as tears started to form in her tear ducts. She was scared now of her potential, new fiance. He seemed to have the power to fake things and do other things while she was distracted without him looking. It made her shiver a little and she felt if he did not have an explanation for this nobody would.
(I hope this is all right. If not I can always change it.)

The girl poked the very tip of Kurosanai’s nose as she questioned each and every single word he said. If she couldn’t heal then what had caused the pain to disappear? It had appeared just as suddenly as it had disappeared. Then suddenly she backed away as a little energy spark shot from the tip of Kuro’s nose to the tip of Carla’s finger. It was sudden and caused Kurosanai to shake his head as if he had just received a little static shock to the tip of his nose. When he turned back he found that Carla had turned her back to him and was pawing at what he could only assume was her stomach. He took a step forward just off to the side and was surprised by what he saw next. Out of nowhere a red and blue heart appeared out of nowhere. Kuro’s eyes went wide as he was not sure what he was looking at as the way the tattoo moved seemed to move at first as if it was liquid, it moves like liquid energy before solidifying.
"I know I somehow revived and maybe I forgot. Yet what is this I may ask?" Carla asked as Kurosanai looked on with wonder. He had absolutely no idea what he was looking at because he was not the one who did that. The prodigy of the Muzai stammered as he tried to form words but nothing seemed to want to come out of his mouth. Then everything began descend into an arena that he had absolutely no idea on how to get out of. Carla first let out a small hiccup that only made Kurosanai jump and then came the sniffle. He thought it was strange and then it dawned on him as the tears began to well up in his eyes. Kurosanai immediately began to panic as he extended his hands outwards in an attempt to somehow comfort the young woman. These sorts of things were never taught to the prodigy meaning that he was going to have to figure out how to navigate through this on his own. The first thought that passed through his head was to run away and hope someone else would be able to help her but he highly doubted that would leave a proper impression on the young woman. Meaning he was going to have to figure out a new plan. Then without thinking he reached forward to touch her when suddenly he felt a shock as his hand approached the shoulder of Carla. Immediately Kuro could feel that this was not normal electricity but rather a strange shock of ki. Immediately the bright energy glowed beneath the bandages of Kurosanai’s arm and then seemed to crawl up Kurosanai’s arm like the strange beadle from The Mummy. He watched in awe until it reached his shoulder, it quickly spread to the left pectoral muscle of Kurosanai before it glowed brightly for a few seconds before dimming. Kurosanai tentatively reached up and pulled aside some of the bandages over that spot. It first revealed perfectly fine skin but after a little more tugging a design seemed to appear. There on his left peck was a red and blue Celtic knotted heart which was strangely familiar to the one that Carla had on her stomach.
“Well…that is unexpected…” Kurosanai said out loud. His fingers toyed with the area in an effort to try and decern what exactly the tattoo was but to touch it felt exactly like what it looked like, a tattoo. “I am not sure what is going on here but I really think that whatever is it seems that the two of us are going to be linked together by it…” Kuro stated with a meek smile in an attempt to try and calm down the girl. “Maybe it is time to try and see Izanami…before we start getting more tattoos…” He suggested. “I have enough as it is…” He mumbled as left the bandages pulled aside so that the young girl saw that the newly dawned tattoo on Kurosanai’s body.

Carla stopped crying and looked at Kurosanai's tattoo with shock. It was very weird that a Celtic knot tattoo had appeared on the left pec of his chest after having touched Carla. She shuddered, having seen the energy crawl up his arm too in such a weird way and cried, "Go find Izanami! I don't care what she's up to Kurosanai, but at least we know this isn't her work. We have a wedding to plan but..."
The moment she said wedding her tattoo glowed with red energy. Every time she would mention their relationship from now on it would glow to remind her of that relationship. It freaked her out, but unknown to her Pandora was laughing her head off deep inside her mind. To make sure it was hidden as best as possible she reconnected the ends of her kimono and covered her stomach until the glowing stopped. For some reason it made her feel giddy now that she had a secret between herself and Kurosanai. It was a very odd situation.
Just wait until they find out what that tattoo really means. Pandora uttered to herself deep within Carla's mind. They are not going to like it one bit. It seems though that Fuujin has really helped me permanently bond these two together. I wonder what his will do. The energy crawling up Kurosanai's arm was quite interesting, but will it keep it binded to Carla as promised?
Carla's new body modification was quite simple. Until the agreement was complete between the two parties it would not disappear. Anytime she mentioned love or a relationship with Kurosanai said tattoo would glow. If she mentioned a relationship with any other man that she really, really liked it would electrocute her. Finally, if she accessed Pandora's power at any point in the future it would also glow until she married Kurosanai or had reached the highest form of power she possibly could as a human. The legendary deity transformation state.

“Go find Izanami! I don't care what she's up to Kurosanai, but at least we know this isn't her work. We have a wedding to plan but..." Carla stated with a tinge of panic in her voice. Kurosanai’s mind fumbled for a bit as it tried to figure out what was going on but then without so much as a thought his legs began moving and driving him towards Izanami’s manor. With one rounding of a corner the boy was out of sight of the young girl. In that moment he paused, felt his entire stomach turn and twist before he spun on his heel and immediately threw up in a nearby barrel. His stomach violently wretched over and over again. He was not sure why but it did. When it finally passed the young man leaned up from the barrel panting heavily as he tried to catch his breath.
It was in that moment that he noticed small sparks of energy leaping in between his fingers. It occurred only for a moment but it was enough to catch his eye. ‘What is going on? What is happening right now? He took a step backwards. He needed to collect his thoughts before they scattered to the wind once again on him. With a deep breath Kuro turned and continued on his way to find Izanami. The least he could do was to grab her and see if she had any notion of an idea of what was going on. Knowing her it would be right up her alley to conveniently forget to tell Kuro that this sort of thing would happen. The prodigy of the Muzai tried to suppress the worries that seeped through his mind and instead jogged down the allies. Finally he came upon Izanami’s home, leapt onto the porch and banged on the door. No one answered and Kurosanai banged on the door again.
“You have to be kidding me…the one time the bitch isn’t home…” Kurosanai cursed as he turned on his heel. As he did his eyes landed on the leader of the Muzai clan walking towards her home. She had several assistants following her all seemingly trying to vie for her attention. Izanami listened intently to each but as she approached her eyes drifted upwards and instantly they were filled with disgust. The two of them were far from the best of friends and it was obvious once again of their true relationship.
“What do you want?” Izanami asked with venom dripping from each word. At first her aides were not sure what was going on but when they looked up the color drained from their face. For most of them they could not properly take a side in this little argument that constantly occurred as they were forced to choose between the face and possible savior of the clan and the leader of their beloved family. It was not an easy choice to make and as such most would choose not to say who thy sided with.
“You have a guest that has arrived…she goes by the name of Carla Andorran,” Kurosanai said not eliciting much of a response from Izanami. “You might know her by the name of Carla AnAn,” Kuro qualified and this time it got Izanami to smile. That sadistic little smile of hers only annoyed the prodigy of the Muzai.
“Ah yes. I have been wondering when she would show up. Very well, where is she?” Izanami asked with joy in her voice.
“Ummm…” Kurosanai stammered at the idea that he should have brought Carla with him.
“Some host you are. Leaving guests alone. Go get her and we can talk.” Izanami stated as she passed Kuro and entered her home. The prodigy of the Muzai let out a sigh as he jogged back off into the direction of where Carla was. He was not sure how much Izanami knew of this situation but by her reaction she was going to enjoy the situation to the fullest. Kurosanai would run all the way back to where Carla was. Once there he would say.
“I found Izanami. Follow me and we can finally get done to business.” After which he would begin to lead the young woman to where Izanami was and hopefully not like a lamb to the slaughter.

Carla waited for Kurosanai to return. She had been a little more pushy then she wanted to be but when he came back she stayed silent and followed him. It was not her place give commands to him as his future, potential wife she reminded herself.
"I'm sorry," she stated as she walked behind him, "the stuff we have been through just now has really wracked my mind." While she followed him she grabbed his hand and held onto it like a lost child clinging to its parent. She did not want to give a bad impression on her first visit but it was already too late to reverse that.
"Kurosanai, should I take a more appropriate form?" she asked trying to figure out whether she should access Pandora's power or not to make herself look a little older. She had no idea how Izanami saw her or really Kurosanai so she just wanted to play the right role in this crazy mess she had now forced more then he had onto people. Her heart rate increase and she was scared.

The little girl seemed lost amongst all the Muzai and that he could not really fault her for. The Muzai were a pretty close nit group as it was and it got even closer when an outsider entered the compound. Part of the reason for the fall of the clan was the fact that they were not as inclusive of outsiders as they should have been. What they did not realize until it was too late was that they needed outside people in order to actually expand their clan but also for support if an outside threat were ever to appear. Their pride prevented them from seeing that and was why Izanami and all of her efforts were far from the most popular decisions in the world. Over the few months that she had really gained power within the clan she forced out old traditions that she saw as preventive measures from the clan growing. This possible measure was one of those efforts.
The steady footfall of the prodigy of the Muzai gave Kurosanai something to think on while trying to buy time. He truly had no idea what Izanami had in store for Carla or him but the suspicion of potential marriage was growing with every passing moment. Then came the question that Kurosanai truly had no idea on how to respond to. "Kurosanai, should I take a more appropriate form?" Carla asked. It was in this moment that he realized the little girl was clinging to his hand. He was not used to being looked up to in his way. Usually it was more along the lines of on lookers expressing their hopes and dreams to Kuro. It was very rare that someone actively sought his help, his direct help anyways. The young man looked down at the girl and with the best effort tried to put on a brave face.
“Nah. If I am correct Izanami is going to want to talk with Carla Andorran, not Pandora. She can not actively make a deal with a spirit now can she? You are the important one here today.” Kurosanai said with a smile. He was probably lying to the young girl as Izanami would probably want to speak with Pandora at some point or another. Hell, for her amusement she could try and evaluate the strength of Carla and make the two of them fight. That was far from out of the wheel house of the sometimes very big pain in the ass leader.
As the two of them approached the home of Izanami it would be clear that she lived in the nicest house in the compound. Tradition had it that after Fujin’s son took control of the clan that the leader would live in his home. Ever since then it was tradition for the clan leaders to live there. Now the estate had been expanded upon and embellished all the time but it was the greatest of honors to stay there for one night. To Kuro it was just a house that held a person, nothing truly special about it. Izanami stood in front of the door to the home speaking with an aid. As the two approached Izanami’s eyes darted to them and instantly her calculations began. Kuro knew it all too well.
“Izanami, let me introduce to you. The young Carla Andorran.” Kurosanai said with some degree of authority. At the announcement Izanami donned a smile and descended down the few steps in front of her home and over to Carla. She extended a hand out in front of her and with probably the most pleasant voice he had ever heard from her.
“Miss Andorran it is truly a pleasure to meet you. I trust that Kurosanai has not appeared too much like an idiot in front of you. If so I humbly apologize for his actions,” Izanami spoke. And there was the backhanded insult. Kuro decided to keep his mouth shut and instead just let out a slight frustrated sigh.

"Hello Mrs. Izanami. It is good to finally meet you," Carla addressed the woman before her as she stretched out her left hand and shook hers.
"I have not had much trouble from Kurosanai except for the fact that he did not seem to understand my family's letter at first when I gave it to him. He also seemed baffled that I was going to marry him, especially after I switched from Pandora's older form back to my own self." She stated as she held up the fingers on her right hand and counted off her issues with him. Izanami probably had no clue what she was talking about Carla thought.
After pausing she continued with, "I'm pretty sure I did not mind but while walking and takling about you and other thing he fainted. So I went to help him and my mind blanked out for a moment. He claimed I healed him but I could not have because I do not have techniques to do that or revive people."
Her right hand went to the collar of her kimono and she peeled back the fabric after she slid her fingers down over the area around her stomach. "I do not know how or why he did it but now I also have a red and blue heart tattoo directly over my stomach because I helped him."
She let the center of her kimono open up so she could see what she was talking about. Then let it fall back into place. Her grip over Izanami's hand grew in strength as her complaints became more boisterous. She was so busy complaining like the child she was that she hardly noticed her surroundings or Kurosanai. Her green eyes focused solely on the Muzai clan's current leader, and as a result, she also did not feel Pandora's power flowing through her veins. Her tattoo mark glowed deep red with the power provided by her ki. It was not really notice able to her, her transformation that is, because it was so natural for her. She only began to notice it when Izanami seemed to be growing shorter to the four-foot, eleven inch girl. She reached her maximum height of five feet, four inches before her kimono began to stiffen and tighten a moment later. Her body was expanding and changing with her transformation as she took on Pandora's form. Yet her clothes could not change with her.
She let go of Izanami's hand and blushed in embarrassment primarily from possibly crushing the woman's hand bones with her new strength. It reminded her why she hated Pandora's gifted power so much. Not only that but she now wished she could hide somewhere. The two Muzai clansmen were going to be mad at her.
