Chapter 17: Brutal Duo

Shio and Miso were walking in the forrest after seeing the fight Naruto put up. Miso gushed at the thought.

"Aww Oniisama was so hot and awesome!" Shio grinned at her.

"Yeah we should have knew he would have a lot of surpises. We can't let him get to far ahead of us now can we ?" They both nodded at each other before turning around and looking behind them with a suddenly serious look in their slittled eyes. They spoke out in unison.

"Now whoever you are that has entered this city and have been tailing us show yourself?"

"Hmm I should have know his sisters would be pretty alert as well." A figure appeared to show a girl with long gray hair in twin tails and a black cloak with the hood down."

"Who are you?"

The girl just tilted her head at them.

"My name is Tama-chan." The twins eyes pulsed involuntarily at this as the heard what she said. They looked at each other before looking back at Tama and swore in unison.

"...Shit."

"You brother gave me a hard time but since he's busy right now I decided to go on and meet you to and have some fun."

"Fun in the normal way or the violent way?" Shio asked curiously making sure to keep her guard up. Tama just stood in place as a javelin slid out of her sleeve.

"What's the difference?"

They sweated at this and started to back up as Tama approached them with a menacing aura. Shio held her hands up placatingly as Miso hide behind her.

"Wait you were a close friend of oniisama right? And you're still alive? Are you sure we can't just talk this out and talk about the memories we've had with Naruto-."

"I'm not interested in hearing how you had sex with Naruto right now?"

"Eep!" They squeaked out caught off guard by Tama's out of nowhere deduction.

"H-H-How did you know t-that."

"Naruto-kun can't hide things like this from me too easily. I may not have animal natures I know you two have but I do have instincts and senses of my own and I can feel his mark all over you two. Now then, time to play!" Without warning she chucked her spear right at the two at high speed.

The spear zoomed across the air for Shio's face.

*Clang*

"Oh?" Tama's eyes widened a little as she smiled. Shio had gone down onto one hand and kicked the pike high up into the air. Whereas she looked nervous before she was serious now. Miso had a similar expression on her face as her eyes narrowed at Tama while standing behind Tama. Both of them were on guard with their fox features out in all their glory.

"You two are adorable!"

Shio got back up right and got ready to attack. "If it's a fight you wan't then you'd better be ready to receive it."

"Great! Makes this all the more fun!" Tama smiled cheerily before she swung her arms out and a multitude of pikes came out of her sleeves. The twins twitched for a second at the sight of it before steeling their nerves again.

Tama swung her arms repeatedly at the twins sending pikes out at them in rapid succession. Displaying their speed and agility they dodged the objects with a series of flips and back steps as the objects flew threw the air. The weapons littered the forest as they embedded themselves in the ground and trees. This happened for a few minutes as the projectile weapons thrown became less but more accurate. All the while Tama was enjoying herself as the twin foxes ran.

"You two sure do know how to move. Just like your brother!"

She caught a baseball bat as it came out of her sleeve before tossing it hard in the direction of the girls.

"Ah!" There was a yep as Shio went tumbling when she was suddenly sidewinded by a bat hitting her in her stomach. She rolled on the ground and held her stomach in pain.

"What the hell is wrong with you!? You're using sports equipment?!" Tama just stopped walking and looked at her oddly like she was innocent.

"I'm an Armorer. It doesn't matter what the object is as long as I can use it." She noticed there was only one twin in front of her before her sense and she jumped back as a giant ball of fire came down on her scorching the earth in front of her with an explosion. Miso jumped down from a tree neck to Shio with red foxfire on the tips of her tail and ears.

Shio got up and coughed as she gained her own magenta foxfire.

"Well thats fine then if that's how Onii-sama would fight too. But don't underestimate us just because of that and you're older." Both twins looked at each other and smirked before Miso ran straight at Tama at a fast speed.

Tama just looked amused as she readied her spear.

"So you're going to run straight for me?" She brought her weapon right down on Miso when she was close enough. "To bad you aren't fast enough to-!" She lost her words in shock as her pike was defected knocking her arm back. Her eyes refocused and saw Shio over and infront of Miso having kick the weapon away. Miso vanished from sight as Shio took on Tama.

Tama looked caught off guard but on the inside she was really pleasantly surprised as Shio started attacking. Shio went up with a dance of kicks and flaming claw swipes that had a surprising amount of durability. Sparks and clangs rang out repeatedly as Tama was put on the defensive and parried each blow and blocked them with her white pike.

As the exchange went on Shio spoke up. "Allow me to introduce myself formally now. I am Uzumaki Shio, older twin sister of Miso. Kyubi and Warbeast Kitsune and daughter of the previous clan head of Kitsune as well as previous head of the Youkai faction Uzumaki Kushina."

She continued her assault as Tama was forced to parry and dodge her strikes and kits with a combination of her arms and weapon. The girl was better at fighting than she had thought but she supposed that she should have expected it since they were Naruto's siblings.

She saw an opening as a few seconds after Shio stopped talking she suddenly stopped and dropped her arms as she stood in place. Tama snapped on this split second pause and lunged out at her driving her javelin right through Shio's chest. Or at least that was what she thought before the spear went through the kitsunes body like smoke and the fox dispersed into the wind.

Tama's eyes widened as she stumbled before a rain of fire balls came down on her. They caught her completely off guard as they hit her like baseballs. She gritted her teeth in pain as they caught her shoulder as well as part of her leg and back. The air above her shimmered before Miso appeared and fell down.

The golden fox girl landed onto her feer gracefully like a dancer and held her hands out as the were engulfed in red flames. She smiled cheerily as Tama recovered.

"And I am Uzumaki Miso! The youngest sibling. I'm a Kyubi and Warbeast as well just like nee-chan."

Tama didn't wait for much else as she quickly jumped at Miso with a roundhouse kick. The vixen displayed her flexibility by leaning back as the kick sailed over her before handspring back. "Whoo!" She flipped away before dispersing back into the air vanishing from sight as a faint layer of mist started to fill the air.

Tama rose an eyebrow before her eyes widened and she turned around quickly. She brought her arms in a block as Shio punched her hard sending her skidding with burn marks on her arms.

Shio didn't give her a chance as she grinned. She pursued her and started up her assault of kicks and punches again.

"We are known as the Vixens in public but in our world we are known as the Brutal Duo, for we are a dangerous pair. I am well rounded but my specialty is Close combat, stealth, and ninjutsu assassin arts!" The flames on Shio's hands and feet now made Tama move more carefully in how she defended herself. She started to get wary as she saw the girls' eyes start to glow as violet trails of light followed Shio's eyes as she moved. The twins were becoming progressively better at fighting her instead of Tama adapting like she expected to and she was wracking her brains as to why. She was starting to get a weird trigger going off in her instincts, a small inkling in the back of her head that told her that she may know the answer but she wasn't sure of what that was.

Tama stepped back and threw her spear down at Shio's feet making the girl trip as she avoided it.

Tama slid forward into her Prawn stance and Shio's eyes widened as her instincts screamed at her over the danger. Tama launched one of her heavy punches squarely point blank at Shio but she stumbled forward and lost her coordination as she felt a cluster of fireballs hit her back from behind making her hit lose much of its built up force. Shio grunted as she crossed her arms and blocked the punch as a small shockwave went out that blew the sleeves on her arms off. It still had enough force to knock her away before she recovered and disappeared into the mist.

Tama quickly swiveled around getting a little annoyed at this exchange. Miso was on her as soon as she did making the white haired girl jump back as she avoided a flaming dropkick that broke up the ground on impact. Tama twitched when the gold twin got up and smiled at her as she started attacking. But it was the fact that Miso's red eyes too were starting to glow just like her sisters as they made trails of light as the girl moved.

"Nice try there Tama-san! We are twins who both inherited traits from our late mother such as her temper and hot blood. We love to fight as it gets us going the longer we fight! I'm not so well rounded like my sister or Oniisama but my specialty is stealth as well. I also specialize in all kinds of mage arts, mage support, and combat assist. I am a combat mage!." The girls really were dangerous in their own right as Miso alone was about equal to Rias. Thought the two could never have a fair fight since Rias magic is for instant killing and Miso surpasses the Gremory heir in combat. Shio however was the better sibling easily. Shio's case was actually more similar to Naruto's than they let on in combat ability as Shio rarely felt the need to go all out. Granted Naruto was in fact better than Shio but well... Naruto was better than everyone his age just about so that wasn't exactly a fair comparison.

Tama started to sway and move as she dodge Miso's flames. It was easier to do so than when she fended off Shio but she couldn't get as close to Miso to take advantage of that lower level of skill because of all the flames. There were openings in the girls attacks but Miso still had enough speed that the window of opprotunity was too small for Tama most of the time.

Her clothes had singes and embers all over them now and she was getting hot. Finally she saw an opening in Miso's attacks that was big enough and acted on and sent a wicked roundhouse kick at Miso's midsection with the intent to knock her through the forest only for Tama to get shocked again when her leg sailed though girl harmlessly before Miso dispersed like mist.

Tama overshot her strength with the kick because of that and spun around full circle only for her leg to be caught as she did. Shio smirked as she grabbed the leg before continuing the momentum and swinging around before tossing Tama at a tree and making her break through it.

Miso reappeared next to Shio as the both did a matching pose with a peace sign. Foxes were sly and cunning so it would make sense that the twin's true style of fighting was sneaky and effective. They both spoke out triumphantly at Tama in unison.

"How do you like that twin tails! We are strong on our own but together our teamwork is legendary! This is our Mirage Dance!" They hit their tails against each others imitating a high five.

They head a creak from where Tama was knocked to before she dug herself out from under a tree. Her head was bleeding as her face was shadowed. They watched as she walked up behind a tree. She jabbed her fist into it making the plant ripple as its form was spatially distorted and she spoke.

"By my right as an Armorer everything I grasp is my weapon to use as I see fit." She then shouted as she flexed her arm and the tree broke up the ground and shot forward at highspeed at the girls.

The twin's eyes widened but they steeled themselves and stepped forward together before shooting out a kick and shattered the tree on impact.

"Seems you're getting into it now Tama-san."

The both then ran around Tama before they started to disperse and vanish into the mist they created. Shio jumped out of the mist at Tama making her block a kick before she vanished as Miso appeared and threw fireballs from behind. Tama brought out another pike and spun it deflecting those fire balls.

Shio appeared behind Tama with a punch which Tama countered quickly as she spun and parried it. They issued a clash of as Tama dropped her pike and matched Shio. Miso appeared behind her again to attack at her back. Tama however moved faster than she had before making both girls eyes widen. She kicked up the back of her heel knocking the pike she dropped behind her back up in the air before she spun around quickly back handing the airborne object. The action knocked the weapon sideways at Miso catching her by surprise as it hit her in the face.

"Kyaa!"

Tama did a step as if time slowed down and spun quickly as her twin tails lashed out and whipped at both girls in rapid succession knocking them away, though Shio was atleast able to block.

'Th-That movement! It reminds me of oniisama!' Shio glared at the girl as Miso was temporarily knocked away. "You're using your hair now?!"

Tama just simply looked back at the girl a few feet away from her before blurring out of sight at a speed that caught Shio off guard before the girl was in her face a split second later.

"Naruto-kun probably already knows this, the best Armorers are the ones that use all their resources and all the world has to offer to them. If I want to use my hair like weapons well then they will fill like weapons when they hit you."

She did a lightning fast punch at Shio's gut making her buckle over and vomit blood as it felt like a bomb went off on her insides before kicking her away.

"Neechan!" Miso back on her again but Tama just crotched down and mule kicked her up in the air before she could block sending her sailing away. Tama vanished and appeared in the air sitting on top of the airborne Miso. She went into a handstand in mid air on the girl grabbing onto her clothes before flipping forward and throwing the girl hard through a tree as she broke it and cratered the ground.

Tama landed back on the ground and dusted off her arm as it was covered in fox flames before they were extinguished showing her skin as the sleeve had been burned away. Miso may have missed her attack but she still got a hit in in another kind of way.

"This is fun. You two are fun. I was right in having some fun with you two. Your teamwork is great and you would be effective against people. But the same thing will only work so long against me. If you wanted it to have the most effect you should have done it when you two were going all out. As I do give openings but my mercy runs out faster than your brother's. I hope that's not all you two have or else we are going to have a problem."

Suddenly there was an explosion of magenta aura as Shio got back up with tribal marks on her body looking wild and serious.

"Oh?" As Tama looked at her with interest Shio simply stepped back before bulleting forward leaving wisp of her energy where she was and catching Tama off guard as the girl was already in her face.

'N-Non-telegraphic step?!' She had seen that similar movement somewhere but couldn't remember right now.

There was a hum as Shio's aura suddenly condensed before it formed a thin skin over her body. She clenched her fist before punching out at imaginative speeds at Tama. For a split second Tama's sense makes out as she went her top speed to lean out of the way and dodge it. It was like reality had lost its color as a punch sailed right by her face in slow motion before going back.

Tama wasn't comfortable with how fast that was but it didn't look like Shio could handle keeping that up so brought for another heavy punch of her own to put Shio down for good right when she was mid punch it was like something rattled her brain as her equillibrium was thrown off and she grew dizzy.

As she staggered Tama Shio went up and grabbed her as she sent another bullet punch this time hitting her face. Tama felt intense pain as this one hit her eye and cracked her skull.

Shio then did lightning quick jabs to her gut with one arm making her cough up blood before returning her other fist to deal a heavy blow that sent her tumbling. As the white haired girl was recovering Shio went over to where her sister was thrown and pulled her out of the debris. The girl was a little out of it and had tears in her close that showed cuts and blood.

"Miso-chan are you okay?" The girl winced in pain as she stood up on her own.

"H-Hai nee-chan I just won't last much longer at this rate. Gomen."

"It's fine lets wrap this up then." They saw Tama starting to get up again and stood side by side as Shio knocked the back of her left fist against Miso's right one.

There was an explosion as both of them gained tribal makes on their bodies and went more feral. Tama grew wary and shocked as the girls grew fur on different parts of their bodies. Mainly their feet and hands and a tuff of fur formed around their necks like a fluffy collar. But the biggest thing she noticed was when both of their tails went up and slits formed along the sides of them before they grew and split into 9 full tails for both of them. Their voices had taken a darker tone as their fangs gleamed when they spoke.

"Blood Destruction twin technique, Dual Count!"

The girls showed their true power as their energy skyrocketed and made the air heavy and Tama knew, these girls weren't messing around anymore.

Dual Count was something unique to them that they worked on. It was a technique meant to be used between two similar beings as the pairs bodies needed to be compatible. Them being twins this was their trump card. The goal was for one of the pair to send a pulse of energy into the other to give them a boost. The recipient would then take that energy and mix it with their own that instant in an unstable mixture before bouncing it back. They would continue this back and forth until an equilibrium was reached and they reached a higher level. Since they were warbeasts that level was Blood Destruction mode, except this time it was a little different as Miso could use it to as high a level as Shio when they used it this way matching each other. Shio herself didn't benefit as much from it as they shared the output.

The growth of tails was a warning that they couldn't contain the power anymore. They had had 9 tails for a long time actually and Naruto already knew this, the girls just preferred to only have one tail out most of the time when they revealed their fox features. The extra tails were unnecessary most of the time and got in the way. Also people would underestimate them more in a fight if they didn't know how many tails they actually had. Whether the tails made you stronger or not it was the fact that 9 tails was rare and they gave a hint as to how strong the person could potentially get.

The girls stood strong as fox fire coated the tips of their animal features. Their eyes glowed with borderline white pupils and their red tribal marks shined brightly. Then all of a sudden they vanished as they left a faint eye trail of light behind. The were in the zone now.

Tama looked on in interest as they circled her at impossible speeds. They wind started to kick up as they tore up the ground around her. Before Tama was in a way testing them like she had done with Naruto but now she had her expectations blown away.

"We've learned from Oniisama how to fight an Armorer."

Tama was suddenly side checked hard by an object moving at extreme speed. She screamed out in pain as her arm was smashed.

"Of course we are skilled in the use of weapons as well and even have our own."

Tama was hit back by a punch with bone breaking force out of nowhere that staggered her into a spin. She caught a glimpse of the two as they were suddenly infront of her before she was lariated hard by both of them as she coughed up blood as they hit her neck and her upper back hit the ground hard enough to crater it.

"But we are smart enough to know not to go up against an Armorer while using a weapon or it would make things worse."

The girls vanished again in intense speed but before Tama's body could even fall to the ground completely Shio came out of nowhere with a heavy kick that sent her away as she dug a trench in the ground. Only to be kicked back by Shio after 30 meters. Tama not trying to become a rag doll caught her feet onto the ground and slid to a stop. Her clothes were in bad shape now as her sleeves were gone, her arm was heavily broken, she hard numerous fractures along with other damage and burns, and her breasts were about to rip threw what was left of her top any minute.

Tama felt deja vu as suddenly a large spiked chain appeared around her.

"But we do have have our methods."

It came spinning as it was pulled in on her like a chainsaw and would have both tied her up and mangled her. She had enough and jumped up high in the air right when it was about to catch her.

"You're brother tried something similar on me already. It won't work again so easily.

There were two blurs from both sides of her as the vixens jumped up after her.

"You aren't getting away that easily!"

Tama had a crazed look as her bleeding head was shadowed. The girls both launched a knife hand at Tama intending to run her through but as if on autopilot Tama gracefully twisted between them avoiding the hits. The both screamed in pain when blood sprayed as the twins found knifes in their shoulders.

The looked back while in the air and their eyes widened when Tama snapped her head up at them with wide open eyes own her bleeding face. But it was the fact that her eyes were now yellow with black sclera.

"W-what?!"

"That's enough from you two."

Suddenly Tama stayed in the air the twins found themselves hitting two floating black panels. When Tama said it was enough she meant it as the next moment the girls were bounced back and forth in rapid succession as they took damage from it. After a few seconds Tama brought her arms down and the panels angled to the ground and the girls were knocked into the earth hard cratering it and turning up dirt.

Both girls were simultaneously taken out.

Tama landed down between the girls as she looked at them with yellow eyes.

"I have to hand it to you two. You did enough damage to kill me 3 times! You've earned my respect but sadly I'm still stronger and you underestimated the fact that I'm a vetern in airborne combat. Still though you two have earned the right to keep your lives in my book."

She stroked her ruffled twin tails smoothing the hairs and looked at the two downed girls with a serious gaze as her eyes narrowed.

"But the I go and instinct, I get it now. You two may not be Armorers like Naruto-kun and I but you might as well be halfway there. You have almost the same level and style of talent as an Armorer without the actual abilities that is granted to an Armorer. Since you don't have the full gene or at least not yet you don't give off a kill signal to Armorers like a normal one would. Also makes it a little harder to focus on you. In other words you would have an easier time fighting me or another Armorer than your brother would. But you are also not as strong as him so it evens out. You also aren't as dangerous as him so that's why I came on top this time. But you were smart in using a weapon on me till the end as that was when your Armorer like traits peaked but it still wasn't enough."

*Creak*

She blinked as suddenly a chain came up out of the ground from under her and warped around the legs. She followed it and saw it held by the face down twins on both sides of her. Shio weakly lifted her head up and chuckled at Tama, now back in her base state out of blood destruction mode.

"Hehehe... and you underestimated the fact that we aren't idiots..."

The chain started to glow as energy built up and Tama's eyes widened before deadpanning at Shio.

"You bitch-!"

*BOOOM!* An explosion rang out that shook the forest.

Make that 4 times Tama has died to them alone.

-Flashback over-

"And so after I got my legs blown off and other injuries that girl found us and fixed us up." Tama pointed over to Audino who just smiled at Naruto and nodded.

Naruto put his hand on his head and sighed before he chuckled.

"Well that's that. I already knew the twins were hiding something so I'm not too surprised. I hid more than they did so can't be mad at them for that. And Tama... well I'd say that match was a draw. You could have done worse so I guess I will let you off easily this time. You girls are free to fight whenever, I don't care, as long as you don't kill each other. And thank you Audi-chan for being here to help them with their injuries."

The soft spoken pink haired girl just shook her head at him.

"Oh it was no issue at all Naruto-sama. They were your siblings so when I sensed the problem I felt it would be good for me to help them out." Naruto smiled at her as well before looking back at Tama who still looked out of place. He had his own questions for her and about her powers but he could get to that later. She saw his video on his Riser fight so it would only be fair if he learned more about her powers. Still though even with that the twins were able to keep her on her toes for a while. I can't help but feel proud of that.

"Now what to do with you..."

Naruto's eye twitched as he walked to the academy with a hard smile on his face.

Reason being Tama following behind her with a smile on her face and innocent eyes that said she never did anything wrong. What bullshit. They had decided that it would be a great idea if Tama had enrolled into Kuoh with them. That way she could finish high school with them and Naruto could keep better track of her. So all it took was for him to contact Yasaka and Sirzechs to pull strings for this to happen. Wasn't had at all as it was actually easier to get Tama into the school than Raynare since Naruto had more status now and no one knew of Tama.

Now walking to school in the morning she caught a lot of attention. Well partially because she was with Naruto. Being as old as she was with long silky gray twin tails you are going to gain attention. But it was also because she was hot. The unique big purple eyes of hers that contrasted with her pale hair was an eye-catching feature. Then there was her naturally accentuated eyelashes that only a few girls he knew had that went out in a feminine way that enhanced her expressions. Especially her joker like one. She had a nice figure as well with a well endowed chest and nice shaped butt that gave her a figure comparable to the twins. Also there was her height as she was the tallest girl so far in Naruto's little circle and stood at 5'10". Just a couple inches shorter than Naruto and while Naruto liked that it would only help her intimidate people more when she wanted to. People were wondering why she was walking with Naruto as they had never seen her before.

Then there was Naruto. His hair was mostly the same. The little change with the black parts of his blond hair was virtually unnoticeable. His left arm was rewrapped in bandages to hide the black pigmentation and play it off as an injury. Its not that Naruto couldn't hide the change in his arm but it always resurfaced after a while so it was better to just keep it under wraps least some random person seeing it. His horns were gone as well as the face crack marks too but it wasn't a permanent fix. He did still have his body markings but there wouldn't be much opportunity for someone to see those anyway. One of his eyes was also permanently violet now giving him heterochromia. Naruto didn't care about covering that up since it wasn't a big deal. After all one of his sisters had red eyes and the other had violet eyes so its not like his eyes were a color that didn't exist naturally in his family with them being blue and violet. He didn't seal his power back anymore which made him a beacon now. But he didn't care since he was basically at "Don't fuck with me level" to most people his age so he didn't have to worry about becoming much of a target. As for his strength all he would need to do is seal himself or hold himself back when their was a school event.

So now our "hero?" was on his way to the academy with Raynare, Shio, Miso, and Tama in tow around him. But even the human's instinctively knew that there was something different about him now. He gave off a passive aura that said that he was better than all of them. He didn't act like it but he didn't have to.

As they entered the school grounds Shio and Miso walked off to do whatever it was they did before classes started. Naruto looked back at the two girls left ignoring the attention he always attracted that had been upped a little bit more than usual.

"Hey Rei-chan? Could you do me a favor and show Tama-chan around the campus? It would be good if she learned the layout ahead of time." Raynare gave Naruto a short bow as she smiled.

"Whatever you wish Naruto-sama I will make sure she knows her way around." Naruto smiled as they went off.

"And make sure you behave Tama I will be watching you."

With that Naruto kept going on his own and walked into the academy to go on his way. And just like when he was outside, he attracted the eyes of almost everyone when he was inside as well. As he keep walking in the commons area he saw two girls he knew really well by this point, the two great ladies of course. Naruto's presence disappeared as he walked up behind them. Right when he was up behind the redhead he quickly used one arm to grab her around her waist and hug her around make her squeak out in surprise.

"Eep! Mmm..." She was shocked when Naruto turned her around and held her into a kiss but recovered her shock quickly and leaned into it. The teachers wouldn't approve of the display of affection if they saw it but lets face it that wasn't going to do shit to stop Naruto. The audience of students gasped out in shock as girls blushed seeing the schools two favorites lip locked in public as well as wondering when the two ever got together. Akeno stood off to the side and giggle at the scene and would use this as fuel later.

Rugal who happened to be up on the second floor looking down on them at the time just smirked and chuckled as he shook his head in amusement at Naruto. When Naruto ended the kiss Rias scowled at him with a small dusting of red on her cheeks.

"You weren't supposed to do that in public..." Naruto just grinned.

"You never told me not to so it's your fault for thinking I would do otherwise." As she looked away with a pout and embarassment Naruto's demeanor changed for a split second and he had a narrowed look in his eyes as he glanced around at the audience. He made she to direct his sights at all the guys and smirked in a cocky way as his fangs gleamed. It served to make those males who caught it twitch and secretly get ticked off. Animal or not they got the hint. Naruto didn't just do what he did to Rias because he wanted to, there was a point to it.

This girl, the one that so many had sought after, the very same he fought an immortal bird over, was his now and he wanted them all to know it and to stay away.

He was territorial like that.

-END-
