miyuki walked around the grass. "where is the place where ki hanged out most?"

"no idea" kisho looked around the village "never really got to know him that well"

"hm." miyuki began clawing at the ground, digging up dirt.

"wouldn't be the best idea" kisho said as he looked over miyuki's shoulder "you never know who they are going to interpret you digging up their town"

miyuki stopped. "your right."

"you have to remember, these people aren't used to a person like you" he kept looking around to see if somebody was watching "so no offense, but you should act less like you and more like a human"

"eh....okay." miyuki stratched her cheek and it began to tan. her skin turned to a normal shade and she pulled her hair slightly until it turned a whitish blonde color. her black claws turned to black nailpolish and she made her needle, like teeth into squares. "better? i feel like a half blind rat in a death trap."

"you didn't have to change how you looked, just how you acted" he chuckled slightly at the thought of changing one's self so easily

"well, it helps so they dont go screaming into the night about a stupid vampire."

"well, up to you, but the question now is, where to look for the scroll"

"hm....no one really knew ki. your as close as anyone has got to him. lets go to higher ground and see if there are any imparshial murmurs in the atomic structure."

"i have no idea what that means, but ya, let go with that" he rubbed the back of his head as he jumped up to a roof top with miyuki

miyuki hopped lightly on the roof and began scaling to the tallest one. " when a willow changes atoms, it leaves a sort of a scar on the flow of atoms. like if you put a rock in the middle of a stream. but with his mastery, it wouls be hard to spot."

"i'll leave the looking up to you" he said as he just followed miyuki to the highest roof

she scanned the area for a long time. " i cant see it. he mustive given it to someone. bbut who would he trust?"

"don't ask me, i've know him for a little more than a few months"

miyuki crouched down, her head reaching her knees. " there must be a link. do you know where his house is?"

"why would he have a house here, i thought that he didn't really venture into cities unless he needed to"

"hell, i dont know. i havent been with him very often."

"why not just ask him" he looked at miyuki and shrugged his shoulders

" because i need to do this on my own. and i dont want help from a squrrel munching monk."

ki teleported behind miyuki and poked the back of her head. making her change back to her origonal pale haired and pale skinned self. " aw.... is that how you really feel?" he chuckled.

miyuki jumped in suprise, leading to falling off the roof and falling through another one.

ki laughed. " well, look before you leap...."

"first it was you and nina, and now i'm stuck between you and miyuki, what is it with me a willows" he raised his arms and started sniffing "and i a willow magnet or something"
