Ratio stared at the screen for a second. Then he looked away rubbing his eyes with his hands, "It's bright!" he cried, stumbling back a little bit. He stared at the two children, "Wh-.. what kind of witchcraft is that?" he cried, "That... that thing it's..." he looked at the two, panic clearly written upon his face, "You're wizards! You've got magic in that box!" he stood, "The gods are going to punish you now for it. Just like in the stories!"

"Magic? This thing?" Twili said, looking back at the Ipod. "I'll admit, it's...not quite what we're used to. Looks way too advanced for whatever year we thought it was." "Hah, magic. That's quite funny. That just looks like a weird looking Game Boy, if anything." Brianna commented. "If he thinks THAT'S magic, he'd say the same for a Game boy, wouldn't he?" Brandon replied. "But it's not magic! Magic is like...fireballs, ice spells, lightning and healing people more quickly than medicine, right?" Brianna said back.

Sakura shook her head and turned to Ratio. "Mommy says that religion and worrying about the gods is pointless, since they don't exist." She said innocently. "Daddy doesn't care either way."

Ratio's eyes went wide, "You can't say thing like that!" Ratio cried, "The gods'll punish you for it too! Just like they punished my father by possessing me! They'll send demons on you too!" He pointed at the girl.
Then after a second his expression changed, "Wait..." he mumbled, "You're trying to lead me astray. I see what you are. You're a demon too!" he accused, "You want to get me to go against the gods so that you can have my soul too! Well I'm not going to! You can't make me go with you!" He backed away putting his hands to his head, closing his eyes. His head was pounding now, feeling near ready to split in two. He knew that feeling, "No.." he murmured, backing away, "No, go away, not now. Please, anything but... I've been good! I promise I have!" He pressed the palms of his hands further into his temples, trying to stop the pounding in his skull

Sakura shrugged and went back to playing with the kitten. "Mommy told me people freak out when 'blasphemy' is uttered, too."
"Sakura, please be quiet. Horatio's freaking out." Gingkyo said quietly, helping her younger/elder sister up off the ground with the cat.

"She can't be older than...what, 4 or 5, yet she's a demon? Okay, I think something's more off with you than...them." Twili said, eyes widening when Ratio was talking to himself. "Wh-what's wrong with him?" Brandon asked. "I don't know...I'll find out." Twili replied, running over to Ratio and kneeling down to him. "What's the matter? Who are you talking to?"

"I'm five." Sakura answered Twili.

Ratio looked up at Twili, his face almost deathly pale. His entire body seemed to be shaking, "Th-.. the demons..." Ratio replied, looking to be close to tears, "They... they... it's them." he closed his eyes, quite unable to stop himself from shaking, "The demons. They do this to me." he shut his eyes again as a jolt shot through his skull,"Ye gods, Sophronia where are you?" he pleaded "I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry just... just..."
Ratio lost consciousness after that. His entire body went stiff and rigid and he fell forward, immobile.
"M-.. master Ratio!" Wyatt gave a cry rushing to his master's side, "I..." he choked staring down at his master's frozen form, "He... I've never seen that happen before." he backed away, "Maybe there really are demons in him."

"Well, with the ghosts, strange equipment and stuff around here, demons might be easy to believe at this point." Twili said, catching Ratio before he hit the ground. "Maybe someone cursed him?" Brianna suggested, making Brandon a little nervous. "C-cursed? I...I couldn't imagine dealing with that on my own..." Brandon replied. "Hey, you have me by your side! You'd be just fine, bro!" Brianna responded, wrapping an arm around the boy's shoulders. "Yeah...I guess so. Thank you, sis." Brandon said back, gathering up a smile.

Her mom worked with Mommy at the Brothel."

"Epi-what?" Sakura asked. "I'll have to ask my Mommy when she gets back. She was a nurse in school." Sakura turned to the maid. "When is mommy coming home?" "She'll be back in a day, at least. Your father will be back in 36 hours." The maid answered, trying not to anticipate her employers' reactions. They would either be very amused or exhausted. ((I understand))

((Well, we can expect Rugrats-style intentional word screw-ups. XD))
"Epilepsy." Twili answered. "Whoa, how did you know that?" Brianna asked. "I was bored one day after school and played around with the dictionary. The word sounded weird, so I had my mom say what it meant...I was a tiny bit scared to go to bed that night." Twili replied. "But, what DOES it mean?" Brandon asked, shocked that he said that without a hitch after what Twili made it seem like a bad sign. "You...really don't wanna know." Twili said back. "Come on, pleeeeeeeease? Even my brother does!" Brianna begged. Twili sighed in defeat, knowing they would keep at it. She made the two come close to her and she whispered what it meant.
"YE MERCIFUL GODS, THAT'S HORRIBLE!!!" The twins said in tandem, backing up from her instantly. "Wait, how did we say that?" Brianna asked. "Maybe we know it when we were older?" Brandon asked back. "Anyway...that poor kid has that? Is there any way to help him?" Brianna asked Twili, who shook her head. "I don't know, Brianna...I'm sorry." Twili said back. "That's alright...one more question, though." Brianna replied. "Shoot." Twili said. "...What kid would read the DICTIONARY after school? Not to sound mean, but there REALLY wasn't anything else to do?" Brianna asked. "My regular shows weren't on for a few minutes, and I didn't wanna play my Game Boy." Twili answered.

Sakura looked at Twili with awe. "That's so cool. My daddy has one in his study." (is it ok to bring in the Iwato parents?)

Wyatt blinked, backing away from Ratio as the spasms stopped. He lay still now a little limp honestly, breathing softly, his head buried in his hands, whimpering softly.
He glanced at the others. He didn't know quite what they were talking about, but to him, this looked quite a bit like demonic possession if he'd ever seen it. He glanced at Twili.
"Wait! What is it?" he asked, "I've never... I've never seen that happen to anyone before. It... it was..." he shuddered a little, "Ye gods, what are you talking about! I didn't know my master was... like that."

((ok.)) The maid grabbed a phone and dialed a phone number while the children were playing. "Hello?" A woman's voice said over the phone. "Hello, Mrs. Iwato? Where are you again?" "I'm in Thailand." "Oh, that's right. And how long did you say you'd be away?" "I'm nearly done. Why do you ask?" The maid explained what happened and the woman, Mrs. Iwato sighed. "All right. I'll be back before the day is out. I'll tell Mitsutaka, too. He may not be there until a little later. In the meantime, make sure the children are all right. I'll be there as soon as possible. Let me talk to Sakura." The maid nodded and handed the phone to her. "Hi, mommy!" She chirped into the phone. "Hi, sweetie. Mommy will be home as soon as she can. Do you want anything from Thailand?" "A pink elephant." Sakura chirped over the phone. Her mother chuckled over the phone. "I'll see what I can do. I'll talk to you from the plane soon. Bye bye." "Bye, mommy." Both hung up and Sakura handed the phone back.
Mrs. Iwato sighed. The call she received would mean that she would have to hurry up and wrap up the mission. She pondered her notes on her target and called her employer. "I will finish this job in five minutes. But I need a ride to the air strip, a pink wind-up toy elephant that's at least a meter tall and a ticket to take me home for 45 minutes from now, in addition to my payment." "What?!" "Well, if you can't or won't make it happen, I can save you the trouble, end our contract and go home right now." "You wouldn't dare!" "Oh, wouldn't I?" A sigh was heard. "Fine." "Thank you. Make sure it's fast and meet me in front of the ice cream shop in ten minutes." With that, she hung up. With a smile, she readied her poison ring before she walked behind a man. She subtly swung her hand to puncture his with the poisoned tip as she walked by. She smirked when he swat where the tip punctured, thinking a mosquito bit him. She then followed along, cell phone ready to capture his final moments.

"Hold on, I'll tell you." Twili said, whispering to Wyatt what the word meant. "She's really smart, huh?" Brianna asked. "I know. I like her for that." Brandon replied, smiling back. "Well, we kind of have to be, you guys. We need to find a way for him to get us back to...normal." Twili said back, her tone flattening when the twins stopped paying attention and played on their DS. "WHOA, there's HOW MANY Pokenon now!? Wow, five hundred!" Brianna said in amazement. "Wyatt...are the two of us the only ones who don't wanna stay this young?" Twili asked.

Sakura whooped with a smile. "My mommy's going to be home!" The maid smiled. "I heard your request for a pink elephant, so I'll send Masayugi to the airport when your mother's close."
Mrs. Iwato took a table by her target, ordering a coffee and using her cell phone to record his last moments. She finished the coffee and paid for it as the man collapsed, shutting off her cell phone and putting it away. She left a very generous tip as she left the restaurant.

((Kill [100]+Incognito [300]+Poison Kill [150]+First Blood [200]=Total Score: 750 pts. See what I did there? )) "Maybe your mom can help us, Sakura. It would help to have a grown-up who knows who we are...if they know us." Twili said.

Wyatt nodded, "wait..." he said, "Sakura, your parents haven't aged down?" he blinked, eyes brightening up, "This is perfect then!" he cried, "We'll get Mrs. Iwato to help us! Surely she'd know what to do."
In the meantime Ratio had recovered a bit, rubbing his eyes blearily. He looked up, a dazed look on his face. He blinked a few times.
"Is..." he stammered, "Is it gone now? Did it leave?"

"I guess whatever was bothering you is gone now. Just try not to think about it, okay?" Brianna said to Ratio. "Are you sure there isn't some...magic that could help him out?" Brandon asked Wyatt, concerned that Ratio might be able to break down like that at any given moment.

(did that involve Keiko's kill?))
"Aged down?" Sakura asked. "What do you mean? Mommy sounded perfectly grown-up." "It's true." The maid said. "She did." "I don't think so." Gingkyo said. "Mama and papa had to go on two separate missions a week ago, leaving Sakura in charge. Mama, Papa and Miss Hira, our maid, are still grown-ups."
Mrs. Iwato stood outside the ice cream shop, palming the pistol in her hidden holster. She made an arm signal to a few other people wearing a similar bracelet that she had, motioning for them to stand by seconds before a man in a black limo stepped out. He produced an obscenely huge, pink mechanical elephant with a key sticking out of its back and Keiko sent him a video message of the target's final moments. Her employer played the footage. "Excellent work. I can see why you were recommended. I hope you know it wasn't easy getting this thing. Two of my men had a hernia, I had to call in a favor and the king of Thailand was going to pick it up for his daughter's birthday." He said as he produced a briefcase filled with a lot of money. "Well, they'll just have to continue wanting." Mrs. Iwato said, flicking her hair. "Can I ask why you wanted this thing?" He asked, handing her the briefcase. "I wanted to see if you could get it." She shrugged. "I suppose it would be rude to tell you to send it back after all that trouble." "Fair enough. The rest of the cash is on the plane." "Good." She said, entering the car after a subtle signal to make sure the ones she signaled to were ready to follow.

((Pretty much. Assassin's Creed style. XD))
"We're the only ones that aged down, I think." Twili pointed out.
"Bro, does your ear feel a bit itchy?" Brianna asked. "Huh...I think so. How did you know that?" Brandon asked back. "Lucky guess, I think...whoa, what is this!?" Brianna shouted, activating the Codec that was still there. "It's like a weird cell phone!" "It even has a number for Twili...lemme try that." Brandon said before calling her.
Twili jumped when she heard the Codec's ring, surprised that no one else could hear it but her. She the found her own Codec to answer the call. "Who is this?" She asked. "It's me, Brandon! Isn't this thing cool?" Brandon answered. "I...guess so." Twili replied, hanging up right after. "Aww, why'd you do that?" Brandon asked. "We didn't need it now. Besides, we should focus on getting back to normal." Twili said back. "But...I don't wanna yet. I wanna play with my sister and you for a bit longer." Brandon said back.

(XD Niiiiiiiice)
The car containing Mrs. Iwato and her boss drove at breakneck speed, the men she signaled on their heels. "Your husband is a very lucky man." He said. "Yes, I know." She said curtly. "And he knows it too." "Is he...you know?" "What?" "Is he an Assassin too?" "Yes." She nodded, inwardly smirking at how freaked-out her boss looked before he kept his mouth shut and his hands to himself the rest of the ride.
When they arrived, she got out of the car as his associates brought out the elephant. She examined the money to make sure it's real, watching as they wound up the elephant and guided it onto the plane. "A pleasure doing business with you." She said as the men that were following saw her off. She then divided the money among the four of them, giving them each an equal stack of the money. The men bowed, as did she before she stepped aboard. Keiko patted the pink elephant, seeing several more briefcases.
Mrs. Iwato smiled at the other Assassins that were traveling evaluated the giant toy with raised eyebrows, before she picked up the airplane's phone as she deleted the video from her cell phone. Hira answered the phone. "Hello?" "I'm on the plane and it's going to take off. Put Sakura on." "All right." She nodded. "Sakura, your mommy's on the phone. "Mommy?" "Hi, sweetie. I'm on my way home now. I got your elephant." She had to hold her phone away from her ear when her daughter squealed with joy. "I'll call again when we get into the air. We're going to the Phillipines first." "Ok, mommy. See you later." "Bye bye." She hung up as she fastened her seatbelt.
She smiled at the other travelers gawking at the elephant toy being fastened down before the plane took off. "My daughters wanted a pink elephant." She explained. "Why pink?" A German man asked. "It's her favorite color." She said simply. "I bet that went over really well with the King of Thailand. He had it made for his daughter's birthday." A Canadian woman said. "I'll tell you what I told my employers: he and his daughter will have to continue wanting. Besides, he should have gotten there first or sent someone at least." She said simply. The rest of the passengers looked at each other. This woman was probably the oldest one on the plane among them, but she was willing to upset a king for the sake of her children. "I would have gotten one of each for them, but they only had this one. Anyway, I'll have to try and get someone to make a green one for my other daughter." "How many girls do you have?" A Colombian man asked. "Two." "And are they your only children?" "Yes." "Did she want an elephant that big?" A Filipino woman asked. "She didn't specify." Mrs. Iwato responded as the plane took off.

"But, you guys...we have to-wait, just me besides your sister?" Twili asked. "Um...not JUST you, but...you're the first person we'd wanna play with." Brandon answered, a bit nervously. "Why's that?" Twili asked, tilting her head. "Well...you've been really nice to us. And you've shown us some really cool things we have as grown-ups. That and...you really care about us if you want us to be safe as grown-ups again." Brandon explained. "Really? Well...that makes sense." Twili replied, blushing a bit.
"Bro, you made her blush? I think you're getting the hang of girls already!" Brianna said, giving an embarrassed Brandon a pat on the back. "H-hey, I'm just trying to be nice!" Brandon said back, blushing more than Twili was. "Well, keep doing it! It's working already!" Brianna encouraged. "I guess you really like me already." Twili told Brandon, making him blush even more (if it was even possible). "Y-y-yeah...I do." Brandon said back, feeling like a nervous wreck now.

After the plane maintained a high level, Mrs. Iwato called home again, receiving Hira again. "Hello?" "I'm in the air. After the plane stops at the Philippines, I'll be home." She informed her. "All right. Do you want to talk to Sakura again?" "Of course." She nodded. "Hi, Sakura." "Hi, mommy!" "I'll be home shortly, sweetie." Gingkyo ran over to the phone. "Hi, mama. Did you get something for me?" "Of course, sweetie. Here's the hint: it's green." "Yay!" Gingkyo squealed. "Oh, we have friends here." She was heard sighing. "Well, I'm in the Philippines and I could have an hour. I could visit the duty-free shop. How many of your girls' friends are here?" She asked. Gingkyo counted. ((how many people?))

((ok. I'll count without Temuri now.)) "Seven." Gingkyo answered. "All right." Mrs. Iwato nodded. "I'm sure I can find a few nice things for them, as well. I'll call when we get to Nyasao." She said as the plane landed.
Mrs. Iwato stepped off of the plane and began to look around. She smiled at the set of green wind-up animals, each 1-3 feet long in the set and looked to see if there were anymore for the other children, making out with seven more toys or toy sets and candies for them. After she paid and stashed them, she waited for the plane to take off.
As the plane flew home, she was hoping that it was a false alarm. She knew Hira wouldn't have called if it was, but she still hoped her eldest was all right. As the plane landed, she called the house again, this time calling for Masayugi to pick her up.
As the plane landed in Nyasao, the pink elephant was unfastened and it took a couple of men to get it down and out. Masayugi helped the group pack and they were on their way, but not before she tipped them for helping her. Mrs. Iwato grabbed her cell phone and Hira picked up. "Hello, Mrs. Iwato." "I'm on my way home." "Do you want me to tell the girls?" "I will. Put me on." As before, the phone was passed to the girls. "Hello, girls." "Hi, mommy!" Both chirped in unison. "I'm on my way home now. I just got back, so I'll be home in a few minutes." "OK, mommy." They said, passing the phone back to Hira. "How are they doing?" "They're just fine. They're playing and doing what children do. Oh, I think Sakura wrecked something." "Oh no! Is she all right?" "She's fine. The bookshelf and some ground vases may not be." "Well, as long as she's all right. The bookshelf can be restacked and everything else, replaced. Anyway, I'll be home in about twenty minutes. See you all later." With that, she hung up and stared ahead.
