Umi:'U...? Jeez, just say it. I hate playing the guessing game...' ???:'....It's... The.. Exact... Same... Thing.. Here... Quiet... Peaceful.. But... Dark... Oh... How.. I.. Hate... Not... Being.. Born.... These... Pauses... In.... My... Speech... Is.. Embarrassing....'

Umi pokes his nose.'It would've made it alot easier if you'd have just said me, dummy...' ???:'It's.... Ok.... I... Am... Fine.... It's... Been... Like... This... For... As... Long... As... I... Could.. Think...'

Umi snickers.'your such a softie, you know that?' ???:'Why... Do... I... Matter... To... You... You.. Hardly... Know... Me...'

Umi bursts out laughing."Faking it makes you look even more adorable, and I'm supposed to be the adorable one?" He pokes his nose again."Now, get outta my bed pig boy, I'd like to have it to myself if you don't mind." ???:" No... I... Was... Just... Curious... Please... Do... As.. You... Feel... Though... I... Would... Need... A... Body... To... Inhabit... To... Function... So... Start.. There..

[Notifications derped....] Umi:'Yep.. I would've never thought it either...' ???:(Ok..... Think... As... much... As.... You... Can.....)

Umi:"Huh...? What do you mean...?" ???:(Inanimate... Objects... Such... As.. A.. Plush.. Work... Too..."

???:"....The... Eevee... Plush.... Please..." Umi:"Then write it.."

Umi:"Of course..." ???:"Now... Say a prayer.. Bless the plushy..."

Umi shrugs and unfolds the piece of paper, he squints a bit to read in the dark.

The orb begins to glow brightly and so does the plushy. The room is illuminated with bright green flames, though they don't really burn anything, though they make the place warmer. There was a flash of light and a Houndour and the last and final Houndour line member of the apparent trio appears. His hair was an emerald color, long and spiky. His eyes were turquoise, and his fur was a [cont

Bluish green color. He claps happily."Yay! Souchiro is free from the abyss!" He shakes Echo's paws quickly actually lifting her up in the air everytime he brought his paws up."Thank you for the sacrifice of that poor plushie! I really appreaciate it!!"

Umi nods in thanks and reads the paper. Souchiro:"Yep! Yep! Souchiro, Kiriya! Or Higurashi! But that's more of an alias, I like my real name better!" He sets Echo down and runs around in circles, bright green flames trail behind him as he runs."SO GOOD TO BE FREE!!!!"

Umi blushes."Err... That's.. Those a really umm... It's.." He goes silent, not really knowing how to express himself. Souchiro:"Oh! But call me Sou if you'd like miss! I'm a third of a person by the way!"

Shiro was awake, Noaya was sleeping beside him. Shiro:"Where'd.. How'd I get here...?" Ryan was im the dining hall, eating with Yukio who sniffles occasionally Ryan:"Your catching a cold..?" Yukio shakes his head."No.. I've just got the chills..."

Umi:"Your full of surprises, Pignite..." Sou:"Umm.. Lets see.. I have two other counterparts, if I'm not mistaken one was here earlier.. He just dropped me off! Man I'm such a jerk! Or am I? I dunno! That's up for you to decide!" Shiro absent mindedly begins to stroke Noaya's fur.(Poor little guy... Why am I suddenly expressing sympathy? For him...? Nothings happened so far..)

Umi:"I hadn't the slightest clue you were so well versed in the art of literature..." Sou:"Oh? Why? There's something wrong with me*He wimpers and tears form in his eyes.* I didn't ask to be this way..." Ryan:"Mm? Oh morning Jolie." Yukio:"Morning *he then groans* Ouuuuuugh....." *he then bursts into laughter* sorry, I was just poking fun at myself..." Ryan sighs in relief."Don't do that..."

Umi:"It's how ever you want to take it.." Yukio:"The get some.." Ryan:"I'll get it for you if you want." Shiro:"Alrighty then.. Take me to him." Noaya suddenly clings onto Shiro."Take me with you... I don't want to be alone, Shiro-nii..." Shiro yelps."O-ok.. So where're we goin?"

Sou:'Your family does...? How so? And I'm not necessarily trouble am I?' Noaya:'This looks like the Nehon...' Shiro:'Mm..? Nehon...?' Noaya:'an infinite universe more powerful than the gods.. It was the grounds for Musibi elementary's spirit world counterpart.. The school, even today. It still stands.. It stopped midway, while it was crumbling.. I'm not sure why though..'[cont]

Yukio:'I don't know how you drink that junk...'

Umi:'Nope! It's a bad thing, for you at least. Means that you'll spend more time writing and get wider..'

Umi:'Exactly.. Your too big to move..' Noaya:'I absorbed the Nehon, into me.. To save daddy from dying, he released it by accident trying to perform black magic*he flinches at the memory* When the principal killed me that day, he rereleased it, and it took the shape of that school that victimized oh so many innocents... I apologize.. If it weren't for me being born.. The spirit world [cont]

Noaya:'Would have never been afflicted with this... This is far worse than a curse..' Shiro:'....' Sou:'Sonozaki's...? Shinozaki.. Shino means unlucky but separating the Kanji for Shi, it means death. Separating the kanji for Sono, it means pure. Sonozaki and Shinozaki are related tied from the same descendants but they separated at one point. One choose the name of Sonozaki, Shiro's lineage[cnt

Sou:'which was the original name they kept the demon traditions up. The other, Shinozaki's, they kept the black magic in the family, and created a very dangerous tome.. The Book of Shadows...'

*chose

Umi:'I said your presence is suffocating me again...' Sou:'Ah! Sorry! Sorry! I was just testing your memory! Umm.. Let's see.. which do you want to know about first? The book or family?' Noaya huffs and growls.'My soul isn't as weak as you think it is jerk! Just because I'm not some powerful god or anything doesn't mean I don't have a big soul! My name is Shinozaki, Noaya! And I[cont]

Noaya:'CAN handle absorbing the Nehon in its entirety! Whether you think so or not!! I don't care if you laugh at me! I don't care if you call me an insolent little brat that doesn't know better! You don't know everything about everyone! Don't disgrace my family name like that!' He's radiating a dark aura at this point that starts eating at the whatever part of the spirit world it touches[cont]

as it dissolves and corrodes a spirit like acid. Shiro yelps and jumps back, as a bit of it touched his paw causing it to fizzle in and out of existence. Noaya:'...!? Shiro-nii! Ah, gomen nasai! Gomen nasai!' The aura dies down.

Umi:'I'm the knucklehead..? Aren't you the one who said you'd do any and everything to protect me no matter what the threat may be? Now that's just reckless.' Noaya:'..' He slowly nods bowing his head a bit.'I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have had that outburst *he rubs his eyes as tears form again* Kek-sama.. I know the current locations of the Book of Shadow's..' Shiro:'Locations[cont]

Shiro:'Isn't there one book?' Noaya:'the book was split into 4 pieces, it used to be two.. they reside within 3 individuals now, as the first part was stolen from Sonozaki, Rou, as you know he's a distant cousin of mines, and he's eligible to hold the Nehon, which is what I'm betting my coins on.. I want to know your thoughts on this plan, getting him to absorb the Nehon to seal it..'

Sou:'Oh umm.. Ok, the Book of Shadows, is a tome that contains millions of black and white magic spells, it was composed by witches during the period of time they were being eradicated from the land during witch hunts, scary.. Anyway, the witches, fearing their magic would be lost used that book as a fail safe to keep their magic alive.. *he giggles a bit* Did you know it was made[cont]

Sou:'from the flesh and hide of multiple pokemon? It's all stitched together..'

Umi:'You still alive, Pignite...?' Noaya tilts his hesd, confused.'Mm? And that is...?' Sou:'I dunno.. I thought it was funny.. I don't know about you. Anyway. The book was passed down the Sonozaki family until somewhere down the family tree they had branched off and thus, the Shinozaki's were born.'

Noaya:'Hmm? Little K...? Ah, yeah! Sure! We're like, best friends or something.. Why exactly do you want me to do it.' Shiro had been in deep thought the whole time.(My family...? How.. I'm confused, when did my family ever split...? It must be a future event.) Sou:'Believe it or not, during the time of the witch hunts, witches and practitioners of black magic were hated even more than demons[ct

Sou:'Who were still being considered the scum of the planet.. Mm.. But that's all in the past, yeah? No need bringing up an old dog from the dead..'

Noaya:'Ok... Well, send me to him...' Sou:'Hmm.. Let's see... Ah, time to move on from the book and talk about the Shinozaki's themselves*he rubs his chin* Remember when I said I was testing your memory? I was attempting to see if you'd have a vision of an ancestor or something.Sorry, I'm getting off track... Anyway, are you aware of branching timelines and how everything has multiple versions[ct

Sou:'of it no matter what it is...?' Umi:'Good! Your not dead, yet.. So you feeling alright,,,? Not depressed are we?'

Umi:'Good! So do you wanna go for a walk..? I'm not particularly tired..' Sou:'Well, believe it or not. there's only one Book of Shadows, and one Shinozaki family existing, ever. Minus Nii-chan whose both existing as an living being and a spirit. Don't ask.. There's also only one of me, and Koga.'
