Yeah, it was a long story. A lot had happened and considering who was here to tell it, they hadn't even been around for all of it. The only ones who had really been there for about everything had been Tomite and Takiko.

"I'll start things off since there are a few things that need to be said before it's explained how we met Hikitsu." He looked at Takiko directly at this point. "And you know I wasn't always around, so there may be details missing because I have to depend on Tomite's explanation of what happened."

Anyway, he took a deep breath before starting, because really, meeting Hikitsu had come at a time when things were quite odd. He was still not wanting to admit he cared, though it was obvious to everyone else that both of them did.

"By this point, you had a necklace that helped lead all of us to the others. Also right before we left to find Hikitsu, we had been given a dragon to aid in traveling. Right before that was when I had been forced to betray Kutou to protect you and obviously I could not go back anymore. So at the point where this starts, it was you, myself, Tomite, Hatsui and Namame."

And this really was going to be a lot harder than it seemed. "I'll leave the rest of our meeting to you, Hikitsu, unless there are any other details I'll have to fill in."
