"Don't get all excited...." Tereya's voice sounded over her shoulder, even as she continued to move herself towards the path they had taken before. "You're gonna be in trouble if I find one of the kids with a hole in their stomach."
"I said, get out of my way! I'm gonna figure what the hell's going on, one way or another." Taiki's voice was growing more annoyed by the second, but the words made Tereya cock an eyebrow.
Tereya put on a bit of a helpless expression. "Well.... I haven't really heard weapons going off, so they're safe for--"
The abrupt sound of shoving was heard, followed by Taiki's smug voice. "That's for pullin' me like a ragdoll this morning...now... puppet. I'd like to know why you insist on following me around."
"Of course, if you wanna keep your throat. It's quite annoying having you acting like a lost dog when I'm around. You should've gotten that message when I ripped your stomach open. Now, tell me why!"
Tereya, having cocked her head to the site, raised one foot and kicked the door open to reveal the scene. Immediately, she saw her son lying down unconscious on the floor, with Midoriko looming over him. Adela was standing a bit away from him.
Calmly, she turned towards her husband. "Good. No blood spilled." Coolly, she walked into the room with an annoyed look on her face. "But right now, I have something to say to you."
