lenore looked at Kumori from the side, and decided to say nothing. She turned to look expectantly at Kaliri, waiting for what more surprises there may have been.

Kaliri looked at Kumori holding the sword, and was struck with the feeling that it must be something very important, or at least to him. She eyed him askance, and then nodded slowly. She walked past him, watching him till she was past, then continued down the passageway. She stopped at a particular carving in the wall, and formed a hand-seal. The wall fell open, revealing a wrapped package. She took this, and continued down the hallway, forming a hand-seal to replace the wall on her way past.

Lenore watched Kaliri with interest, watching her forming hand-seal with confidance, and fully confidant that everything she attempted would be done perfectly. Either she was quite a bit more powerful than Lenore had guessed till now, or she was simply confidant enough to do this, because she'd done it plenty before. Keeping one eye on the walls she was passing, Lenore consented to follow.

Kaliri walked up to the blank wall, and formed a hand seal. She waited while bits and pieces of the pattern snaked into place, leaving a hole in the very centre. She pulled out the package and unwrapped it, revealing a glowing violet stone, and placed it in the very centre, in the hollow, and watched as the entire wall fell away, revealing an underground chamber, with columns around the center, and statues around the outside. In the very middle of the room, was a flat, empty surface marred only once by a dark stain in the dirt. She walked into the middle of the room, without looking back.

Kumori watched as she did all of this not letting any of his shock at how well she knew this place show on his face. When she entered the underground room, he followed her in. But when he entered he could tell that this was a special place, so stayed back by the door until she asked him to come further into the room.

Lenore made to move into the room, but pulled herself up short when she noticed that Kumori had stopped. She turned and looked behind her at him, and then ahead at Kaliri. She raised one eyebrow and shot Kumori a questioning glance.

Kaliri used her soft boots to scuff dirt over the dark stain, then pointed up to the face of the statue in front of her. "That was my grandmother." Then she turned slightly to her left, and around the room until she got to the door, then started on the right of the statue and swung around again. "My Aunt, My great grandmother, and great aunt, and her daughters, from my mother's mother's side, then the women follow the same pattern for the mother's father's side."

Kumori made no indication to Lenore as to why he had stopped. Then when Kaliri started to name each of the statues, he bowed his head to each in turn offering his respects to her ancestors.

Lenore looked to each in turn, and waited while Kaliri named them off. She walked out to the middle of the floor, and looked down beside where Kaliri had kicked the dirt. She had an idea what she was going to do, but wanted to see how Kaliri responded. She pointed at the dark spot in the dirt.

Kaliri tried to hide it again, butt he dark spot belied itself as blood as she tried to kick at it, scatter it. She looked sheepishly up at Lenore, and showed her the scar on the inside of her hand.

Kumori continued to wait by the door to Kaliri's Sanctuary. Not wanting to disturb the sanctity of the place.

Lenore took out one of her knives, and cut her own hand open, and then shook her hand out, spattering blood on the ground.

Kumori seeing what Lenore had just done Knelt down on one knee, and pulled out a kunai. He rested it on the inside of his left palm, he looked up at Kaliri and Lenore to see what they were doing.
