Korin-Chan
Subaru had very little time to react as Kouji barged passed her and began to dine in a rather peculiar manner; as far as she could tell, he was rather good at sauntering in to troubled situations, slapping himself right into the middle of them and not even caring - it really was quite amusing to watch and yet it posed a rather large problem for Subaru...by now, she should have been running.
"Meet my new pet human Nakago," Subaru offered at last, a weak smile appearing on her lips as she watched him eat, "His name is Kouji, he's in love with his stomach and he knows one of the Suzaku seven...or so he says, but considering is inate ability to confuse himself, I'm not sure whether I can trust him or not..."
She took a few breaths and calmly turned her gaze in the direction of Yui as if seeing her for the first time, her expression was somewhat unreadable until at last one of sadness over came her - seemed he had long since finished his little scheme of manipulation.
"Kouji I hate to rain on your parade but we have to go - like...right now." Subaru snapped and with that, she disappeared down the corridor again.

Kouji looked confused for a moment as Subaru darted off. "But...but food! Damnit Kouji run! But the food! Kouji you can eat later! But the food!" With an angry sigh he bolted after her.
Niftyness
A startled expression formed on Yui's face as the stranger gladly rushed towards the table and helped himself to the food that the servants still hadn't gotten to tossing out. When it came to food, he strongly reminded her of how Miaka would act once the bell would ring for lunch. Honestly, the girl acted like the school starved her. Her eyes momentarily saddened before they quickly grew into irritation. It was stupid of her to be thinking of Miaka when her so called best friend fooled her the way she did. She never had a friendship with Miaka, she was only being used by that wretched girl and Miaka left her the minute she was no longer needed. The only reason Miaka was on her way to the palace was an attempt to stop her from becoming the priestess so she would be the one to make the wishes instead. No...she wasn't going to let Miaka win. She wouldn't...Her thoughts were soon interrupted by Subaru's voice and Yui blankly glanced up the girl's way. Pet? This human man was her pet? A small scowl formed on her face at the thought. Just what kind of people were these Byakko seishi? Subaru surely caught her off guard at the sudden sad expression. Her eyes seemed to be pitying her but why? She had all she could ask for here and she didn't have any friends like Miaka that only used her for their own selfish purposes than it finally dawned on her that the girl's expression was probably from fear of having her life ended. Yui didn't seem that very suprised the moment the girl took off down the corridor. Knowing that Subaru wouldn't get very far, Yui shifted her gaze back Kouji's way in time to see him bolt after the girl.
*Nakago chuckled*
"In spite of everything...I cannot help but find these others amusing."
*Not wanting to go overboard on things, he noted that Subaru had called Kouji her "pet" and also that he followed basically her beck and call. He didn't know that Yui was already on the process he might instill with that another time. He did not say anything at this time however.*
"My men are searching the palace...they should not get too far before we catch up with them."
*Nakago now relaxed a little...his specific barrier around the building fading and returning to his normal observation of the palace grounds, and since he knew she was within the grounds, to inpede her magicks and powers. Surely Subaru would notice..the question would become...would she escape now...or was she still going to try and turn Yui against him? Her expression towards her would portray the latter...but she had already had a close enocounter with him. And then there were the others which were likeley on their way to the palace again..what would she do about them?*
*He turned back to her as he did before, letting his other hand slide from her shoulder*
"We will move forward after we have dealt with this little issue...and after our other guests have arrived." *A hint of malice might be detected in his last words, but only a hint. His overall demenour remaind static.*
Yue Kurine
Nuriko stiffled a giggle at Tasukis expense as well. The whole idea of crossdressing to get into the palace was amusing- something he could pull off without much thinking, but still rather ironic with all of them here.
"We cant afford to loose Tasuki here, not when we still have so much further to go. After we retrieve Subaru and Yui we'll have to hurry back to Konan."
The warrior explained as he did the finishing touches to the girls hair. The brightly colored butterfly clip he found was placed to the side of her head, accenting the rest of the dress. He nodded in approval and pointed to the mirror infront of her.
"There you go, now I guess its my turned to get changed."

He found himself smiling wider at her comment, this girl was so easily amused! "No it's not lonely," he retorted, "not really, I live with a group of bandits. I'll admit there's a few who I'm not close with but I keep them because they've got nowhere else to go and they're good at what they do. I do have Kouji though, he's my best friend, we're like brothers now I guess. Kouji looked out for me when I first joined, he told me to call him 'big brother' and the idea's kind of stuck even though we were rivals. He was competing to be leader but I beat him!" Tasuki laughed again.
Meilichan
Miaka smiled evne more seeing Tasuki smile. It felt great to her, to bring out someones smile like that.
"Tasuki-chan you sure do have a nice smile!" she said then leaping on top of him and tickling him, "And with all that bandit money you sure are gonna get me alot of meat buns! You AND Kouji-chan!" she said laughing. She jumped off scared that Nuriko would kill her if she messed up her look and then she stood up patting herself clean, "It's really not fair those bandits got you first" she said upsettingly. But then she smelt that a meat bun cart was passing by and she lifted her nose in the air and happily skipped after it.
"Meat bun truck! Wait uppp!!" she yelled chasing after it.

*Nakago's Ninja had seen/observed enough and shot off to the palace to prepare for the expected arrival. He would be stattioned near the gates and when people came, the guards were to pretend he was a dignitary and he would let the appropriate group in, upon arrival. He would send somone to inform Nakago of his findings and his "trap" to have them come to them.*
