koneko~what?! another boat?! but why?!
yuna~besaide is an island. and there will be one more when you go to luca
reiketsu~how long is the ride?
rikku~i think about a day
tenka~so that's why we had to be up early
kiba~you practically have everything planned don't you?
ann~More or less. i only got as far as d'jose temple
rikku~i think that's less. oh are you gonna go to bikanel desert as well?
ann~i'm not sure. i guess after we hit the main places
koneko~the desert doesn't sound nice
ann~at least you were born in the leaf. i still prefer the cold
kiba~not this again
ann smiled big as they continued to walk along the beach

rikku~doesn't seem like the ship is leaving soon
they put their things on the dock and ann sent the triplets to play
yuuna~was it hard raising them?
kiba~fortunately we had help
ann~the three also keep each other in check
rikku~do they resember anyone by any chance?
kiba~the three actually acts like ann, zabuza and haku
ann~but koneko is so much like you too kiba
kiba~yeah but the three still picked up with your side
rikku~so does that mean two of them are really violent?
kiba~no. they just fight with each other a lot
rikku~then what about tenka?
kiba~the peacekeeper. although he does sometimes gets into fights with them too. but he ends up winning
ann~is this when neither of us are around? or just me
kiba~just you
yuna~I guess the triplets know you wouldn't be able to keep up with them even if you wanted
rikku~at least they don't take advantage of it

they sat and watched the triplets wrestle and throw sand at each other. eventually they started throwing kunais and shurikens at each other
ann~i could have sworn i told them not to pack those
rikku~are those real?! they're gonna kill each other!
kiba~i got it ann
he patted her shoulder before she got up to stop them
ann~yeah they are. i have some too, but it's just for the weight of it
she handed rikku a kunai and yuna a shuriken
ann~it's the basic weapon for any ninja
yuna~how old do they start practicing these?
ann~five i think. it depends. i was about four
they stared at her

kiba came back with the three. he had taken their weapons and put it away in the bag
koneko~then how are we supposed to fight?!
ann~don't worry. i'll get you three something
tenka~where?
ann~kilika
they turned when the ship blew it's horn
yuna~time for you to go
ann~yeah. kids say good bye
they each hugged the girls and went onto the boat
kiba~we'll see you around
rikku~it was nice meeting you and the triplets
yuna~have a safe journey
ann~pray for spira too hehehe...i'm kidding
she hugged the two then helped kiba with the bags onto the boat.

they went below deck to put their things away and went back up to check on the kids
kiba~is kilika another island?
ann~yeah. then after that we'll be on the main land
kiba~are we also going to all the temples?
ann~yeah, but some of the temples no longer exist. and we'll end up back tracking a few times too
kiba~but it's fairly straight forward?
ann~uh huh. now, where are our triplets?
they found them standing at the head of the ship
ann~kids don't touch the harpoon
kiba~harpoon?
ann~dad said they used it to latch onto sin. but aside from that it seems like they use it to fend off attacking fiends
reiketsu~are you sure kilika will have weapons?
ann~of course. and we dock right into town so you don't have to worry about being attacked
tenka~will we meet more people that you know?
ann~of course. i believe dona is still in kilika
koneko~who's she?
ann~an ex-summoner that rivaled yuna to gain the final aeon when sin was still rampaging spira.
kiba~what was happening when you last came?
ann~yevon and the youth league were atlmost at war and a machina almost destroyed this half of the world
reiketsu~grandpa didn't let you help did he?
ann~No...if i hadn't sprained my ankle then he would let me fight
koneko~how'd you hurt yourself?
ann~there were some ledges. and i landed wrong
kiba~it was high and auron warned you not to huh?
ann~hehehe...i guess you know just how wreckless i am
the three sighed and began to walk around the ship.

eventually they slept for the night and docked in kilika. they carried their things as ann lead them to a shop
ann~choose one you think you'll be able to weild.
kiba~me too huh?
ann~yeah. but i'm sure they'll have something for you too since you like using your claws right?
koneko~cool! twin daggers!
she grabbed them and started spinning and tossing them to get a feel for it. the shop keep flinched and panicked
ann~koneko not in the shop. you're making people feel skittish
koneko~oh...sorry...but can i have these?
ann~sure. rei, tenka, found something you like?
she walked over to them while kiba looked at koneko's find
tenka~i like the spear. but it feels too big
reiketsu~i can't reach the dual swords
ann~you can try it out. if you don't like it we'll come back
she handed reiketsu the sword and they went to the counter
ann~find anything kiba?
kiba~these gloves will do
when ann inspected them further she found the button that retracts hidden blads near the finger tips
ann~ooo...sexy. that will help with your claws you naturally use already
she kissed him then paid for the family's new weapons.

outside, the three swung at each other a few times to get a feel for it
ann~hehehe so cute. kiba, try on yours. and try to keep it on the whole time incase we get ambushed
he nodded and slipped them on. he tapped his forearms together and the blades switched out, then he inspected them to see how they aligned with his nails
ann~they good?
kiba~i think i may need to cut the finger holes farther up but it's good
ann~kids, are your weapons good?
reiketsu~bit heavy, but i'll get used to it
tenka~i just need to find the middle balance
koneko~this is so fun to juggle
they watched her spin her daggers and toss it to switch hands
kiba~all three of them took after your family ann
ann~hehehehe probably. come on, lets go meet dona

they went down the shop's steps and went onto the left side of the bank and onto the second level. they waited by a door and ann kocked, calling out
ann~dona are you home? it's me, ann
dona~ann? but i thought you went home?
ann~years ago. we're only staying for the year
dona came and lead them inside to sit
dona~are they your family?
ann~yeah. kiba is my husband. and these three are our triplets, reiketsu, tenka, and koneko
dona~hello to you all. my name is dona
they each said their hellos
ann~where's barthello?
dona~Oh he went to the temple just a while ago
kiba~before ann asks, cuz she will, would you like to come with us to the temple before we go?
dona~sure. but are you leaving as soon as you come back from the temple?
ann~probably not. we just got off the ship
done~you know, he will be very excited to know you're back
ann~i know. he idolizes my dad
koneko~is grandpa that popular?
dona~he was an amazing guardian. he protected lord braska and then lady yuna, his daughter, ten years later
reiketsu~i always thought of him as a silent trouble maker
dona~well...they were excommunicated at one time
tenka~yeah that sounds like something he'd do
ann~wow...i never knew my side of the family was so bad
kiba~that might be so, but everything turns out alright in the end doesn't it?
ann~i guess that's true...half the time
dona~and the other half?
ann~not pretty. i'll just leave it at someone goes to the hospital
kiba~you never broke anyone while you were here did you?
ann~I'm not sure...
tenka~can we go while mama thinks?
dona~sure. this way
ann~i really don't think i hurt anyone that bad
