kiba~sure the kids are fine in there?
ann~as long as koneko isn't at the edge, yes
kiba~and i bet you like the stars
ann~uh huh. it isn't like this back home
kiba~yeah that is true. *kiss* let's get some rest
ann~hehe alright. we are gonna start walking tomorrow

the next morning ann woke kiba
kiba~still dark
ann~i'm just gonna go to the temple. remember to check on the triplets
kiba~alright ann. don't get in trouble
she kissed him and dropped down from the roof of the aurochs. she went into the temple and sat down meditating

back outside kiba stayed a while before going inside the hut. the aurochs were already gone; koneko was sprawled on the bed, tenka had the blanket, and reiketsu had his head under the pillow.
kiba~*sigh* guys...
he walked to them and woke them one at a time
koneko~too early
she curled up and pushed agaisnt reiketsu
reiketsu~koneko get off...
kiba~just get up guys. come on
he pulled them up and out of bed
koneko~but dad...
kiba~let's go kids. mama is supposed to meet us
they all sighed and stumbled along as they woke.

koneko~it's not even bright yet
kiba~all the more reason to be up right now
reiketsu~it's because it's mom isn't it?
kiba~yeah, but this actually is a lot later than when zabuza took her training
tenka~how early?
kiba~i think right now it's about 5. so he'd be taking her out at about 3 or 4
koneko~too earlyyyyyy....
she flopped down in refusal to continue
reiketsu~i hope you don't carry her...
kiba~don't worry, she's here anyway
ann~i think i would have dumped water on you three
koneko~but maaaaaamaaaaa....too early
ann sighed and picked her up
ann~now stay awake or you don't get milk
koneko~but i like milk...
she stayed up. the four of them followed her across to wakka's house

kiba~you cooked didn't you?
lulu~i couldn't make her stop
the triplets joined vidina on the sofa
kiba~where's wakka?
lulu~getting the girls and the rest of the crew.
vidina~lady ann made a feast
kiba looked at her
kiba~you did this, and went to the temple?
ann~yeah why not?
kiba sighed and sat down to wait. after a while, wakka, yuna, rikku, paine, brother, buddy, and shinra came in. everyone sat down and stared at the food
buddy~ann...you put barkeep to shame again.
brother~fro cu silr vuut?
ann~let's see if i can still remember....pa...lyica...i lyh...yht....fyhdat du
shinra~you need to brush up on your al bhed
ann~i know. but since everyone's here now...
rikku~let's eat!!

paine~we still have left overs...
brother~ann, why do you make so much?
ann~cuz you guys are awesome and this'll give you a reason to not be angry with me
paine~why would we be angry?
kiba~oh no...
shingra~i don't like that oh no....
kiba~the kids are trained to be on edge when they're full...especially when they've just woken since ann and zabuza tends to pick on them the most then...
lulu sighed and face palmed. all three flinched from the smack noise and with any movement
buddy~i'm not sure if that's better or worse than your conditioning
brother~they fight?
ann~of course. i'd take them out but i don't want anyone else to get hurt
kiba sighed and carefully walked around to not startle the kids
yuna~why?
ann~we're ninjas
brother~dryd'c y mea
ann~wakka, lulu, vidina, slowly step away from the triplets
rikku~oh dear...
they did as asked, the triplets flinching and almost hitting each other from knowing what will come next
paine~brother i blame you
kiba~good luck guys
at that moment ann kicked the triplets outside before they could jump out of the way
wakka~you had to challenge her didn't you-where are they?
yuna~ann took brother and buddy out
vidina~she won't destroy the village will she?
shinra~she didn't last time she was here. but then again sir auron was with her

they all walked out to watch ann, the triplets, buddy and brother get beaten around
kiba~good thing zabuza isn't here...this'd be a bigger mess
everyone but vidina shuddered at the thought
kiba~stories of him came with ann huh?
others~yup
rikku~why don't you go stop them?
kiba~i would, but honestly my stamina isn't as high as theirs. even the triplets seperated can last longer than me on an extended fight
eventually ann was up again seperating the triplets
ann~so brother, buddy, do you believe ninjas are real now?
two~yes!
ann~good
she tossed koneko to kiba and picked up reiketsu from the ground
vidina~is this normal?
kiba~sadly. but atleast they won't be fighting now

back inside, ann was tending to brother's and buddy's cuts and scrapes while kiba looked over the triplets
yuna~at least she's bandaging you up?
the two nodded
rikku~i'm surprised that no one lost their breakfast
ann~i make sure the stomach isn't hit. anyways the kids knows not to strike there during sparring. the next boat to kilika leaves in a few hours right?
lulu~yes. so you'll be going on the next one?
ann~yeah, before we destroy the village on sin scale
brother~e fuimt mega du caa oui dno!
gullwings~no!
ann~is that a challenge brother? i can take down bevelle by myself
she cracked her knuckles

koneko~did he challenge mama?
kiba~yup
tenka~i thought they knew she would?
kiba~i think he has the mentality of lord hokage
reiketsu~so not too bright. lulu, when's the next boat?
lulu~hm? in an hour or two. you want to leave before something happens?
reiketsu~i want to leave because i want to fight

wakka~hey ann, i don't think spira will appreciate being destroyed
ann~alright. i'll start by sabataging the celcius and telling cid that brother messed up
brother~fryt?!
rikku~oui saccat ib
shinra~i think he just misses having something to do
kbia~i guess ann too. her uncle finally learned not to pick a fight with her
they all sighed as ann sat with the triplets. buddy punched brother
paine~mabye we should go before ann or her kids get some ideas
lulu~try not to push them too hard
ann~i'll try not to
she started playing with koneko's tail. pain, shinra, brother, and buddy looked at lulu and wakka who nodded at their unspoken question
koneko~they're staring
the four soon made eye contact with reiketsu; they all shuddered from his death glare and took the hint
wakka~hey, will you guys be okay getting to the dock? or would you like some help?
ann~kids?
koneko~can we take rikku?
reiketsu looked at her up and down then nodded
tenka~i don't mind
ann~yuna, paine, like to come too?
yuna~sure
paine~i'd rather not. someone needs to keep brother in check
brother~i didn't do anything!!
