The night past uneventfully.
Shinah slept in the room with her brother while Siyan and Chen took turns guarding in the hall.
Around six in the morning Shinah woke and got dressed in a plain white dress a few sizes to big. She touched her chest modified her height to fill in the dress and changed her beautiful green hair to dark black.
She fixed her hair into two ponytails and skipped over to the mirror.
Shinah looked into the mirror and felt her look was missing something.
Shinah searches in her male pants pockets from last night anxiously and pulls out a beautiful blue gem.
Inspired by Lord Riddles gem she changes her eyes to replicate the ocean blue gem.
"Perfect! Now I just have to give this to my Little ShiiShii then go check on Little Blue." Shinah sits in cultivating position and enters her Mindscape.
"Little ShiiShii I'm back!"
"..."
"Little ShiiShii I can hear you ignoring me."
"..."
"Wow and I had a gift especially for you... Oh well there's always next time. However I'll be travelling for quite some time I don't know when I'll be able to see you again.."
"....."
"Mmokayy bye."
"Waittt..." Little ShiiShii popped out from behind a tree. Frowning at Shinah feeling aggrieved.
"Little ShiiShii why weren't you answering. What's a matter?"
"As if you don't know! You grabbed at me last night like a deprived hooligan!" His eyebrows furrowed and his face turned red.
"Ha ha ha! I did not. I just danced and responded to your advances. I didn't teach you to be so seductive. You let your sexuality out all on your own! Don't blame me for enjoying the ride."
"You! I didn't nothing of the sort...You shameless hooligan!" He turns around and walks briskly back to their cabin.
"Aww Little ShiiShii you don't have to be embarrassed it was the appropriate response. You pushed and I pulled ..it was a tantalizing experience." Rai Shinah teases him as she followed him back.
"Stop speaking nonsense."
"Come on you were practically perfect! A little more practice and we'll be perfect for our debut. I can't wait!"
"Debut? What debut?"
"Of course for Chang Aoi's party."
"Your still planing on going?"
"Of course, it's in a few weeks we definitely have time to make it there if we go straight after this rescue mission hehe. Besides there's no one I'd rather dance with."
"Mm." Little ShiiShii kept his head down but couldn't hide his smile. His heart throbbed happily when she spoke of him like no other.
"So you practice some more while I go out and rescue the damsel from her distress."
"Wait can't I go with you? I don't trust that we won't run into ...him. Let me go out and guard you."
"Yeah right what a lame excuse, who you tryna fool? You just want to join the fun!"
"What?"
"Well hurry up and collect your things and let's go then, I'll tell my brother my masters apprentice came along to keep my 'illness' from acting up."
"Mmhum." Little ShiiShii grabbed a basket and filled it up with food, then changed into a bigger set of clothes and met her out the cabin.
"So how do you want to look today? A mysterious Red haired rouge or a sophisticated blue hair scholar? Oooo how about a cold hearted demon lord-silver like Lord Riddles? What about your body type wanna be tall and lean or a buff gorilla?"
Little ShiiShii looked at her with a blank look and shook his head. "... Sometimes ...I can't with you."
"Fine, fine your normal disguise coming right up." She lightly touched the small of his back adjusting his height. "Oh by the way I won something for you last night! Here. It'll help later when it's repaired."
"W..What..what is it?" He stuttered as she lightly caressed his clavicle bone measuring the appropriate size of his shoulders to fit into his clothes.
"A little realm." She said happily while lightly touching his eyelids and smoothing out his jawline.
"Your gifting me a separate realm? Why?" His golden-green eyes open, revealing the swirling color change into his now dark black eyes.
Shinah stops modifying his face and looks at Little ShiiShii.
"Because its your favorite color, the only color other than black you wear duh! Just toss it into a bowl full of water from the lake and it'll repair itself after a while. I'll make it into a beautiful necklace or ring for you later." She places the stone in his hand and walks off to find a bowl.
"But... my favorite color has always been green, I only wear blue because it's your favorite color." He whispers when she's a distance away.
——
Shinah confides in her brother and Uncle about Little ShiiShii's sudden appearance. It wasn't until Little ShiiShii started to cook that Kiyoshi agreed to him tagging along. She left to call for Little Blue. She went to the room across hers and knocked gently.
"Sister Shhh-...Oh hello, Good Morning."
"Morning Little Blue, here's some fresh clothes. Breakfast is ready so come next door when your dressed. Come before my pig of a brother inhales everything."
"Okay, thank you... uhh ... sorry what's your name?"Little Blue dazed at her with a confused expression.
Shinah pointed to herself.."Oh Ha ..I thought you were acting off. Silly me, I forgot my appearance is a bit different from last night's. It's me Shinah."
"Whatttttt!!!" Little Blue scream caused several guest to wake and check out their rooms with grumpy expressions.
'Shinah..What happened are you okay.' Little ShiiShii rushes out, communicating with her with his thoughts connecting through her Mindscape. 'We're fine, hehe my female appearance shocked her.' He sends Shinah a look saying 'Stop teasing the poor girl' and walks off nonchalantly.
"Little Heathen is everything okay?" Siyan rushes out the room with his sword drawn. Kiyoshi follows with a piece of bread in his mouth.
"Everything is fine Uncle. Nice to see you have your priorities straight Kiyoshi. Sorry for the disturbance everyone please accept my sincerest apology." Shinah pushes Little Blue into the room, rolling her eyes mischievously at Little ShiiShii before closing the door.
"Why'd you scream, I told you yesterday I was a girl did I not?"
"Y..yes... no but I .... I'm confused."
"No worries let me show you; this is an illusion ring my brother gave me. When I turn it this way I can go back to my male disguise." Shinah twisted the ring a little and her face changed into the replication of Shen's face she wore last night. "I'd show you all the way but that requires me to get undressed or else the body would pop right out these clothes, such a hassle. So are you good?"
"What kind of strange magic does your brother possess in order to cause such a change?! Oh MY GOSH YOU.. you danced and played all those ladies! Oh wow ...you are a Little Heathen. I'm so impressed!!"Little Blue's excitement was infectious causing Shinah to smile brightly.
"I know right! Wasn't I spectacular! And my little beauty didn't he do well? We were such a good performance!"
"She was a he!? Does he have a ring too? He was too beautiful I felt such envy! Where can I get one? Do you guys always do shows like this? How lovely it must be to travel the world with your loved ones doing what you enjoy!"
"Nah he's just has a feminine expression. Hehe and I dolled him up beautifully! You'll get to see him later he's my masters apprentice."
"Oh my heart is racing you live such an exciting life!"
"Well after you rescue your lover you can come back with us. We're friends now aren't we? It won't be an easy life but I'll do everything in my power to protect you." Shinah claimed honesty.
Little Blues eyes watered. And she got up to hug Shinah. "Thank you, Sister Shinah you've showed me more kindness than anyone's ever shown me."
"Aww don't cry Little Blue you'll make me cry! Come let's get you dressed."
"Mm okay."
They both laughed and went out together as newly found sisters in each other's hearts.
