As it was Nerima, the fact of seeing what appeared to be a little girl conversing with what seemed to be an oversized coyote as the pair walked along caused the usual level of disturbance.
Less than none. Face it people, this is the same area that simply watched as a short, busty redhead argued with and fought against a giant panda. So a girl and an enhanced canine happily chatting were met with smiles and waves.
"This is nice," Hotaru giggled, as she waved back at the nice butcher who just gave the visiting nature god an oversized legbone.
"I agwee," Coyote replied, his voice muffled as he worked at cracking his prise to get at the tasty marrow.
The tiny senshi's mood darkened. "Home isn't going to be fun, 'tho," she muttered. "I was told that I can't have dogs around."
The kami paused in thought, worrying the bone as he pondered the situation. "You know," he stated idly, "I've pulled tricks along these lines before."
"Tricks?" the dark-haired girl enquired, a flicker of anger in her eyes.
Ignorant of the possible danger he was in, Coyote chuckled. "Rarley have I ever had the possibily for mischief of this caliber, though."
"Mischief?" Hotaru asked, the anger in her gaze taking on a different aspect.
Snapping his jaw closed, and coincidentally shearing the top of the bone glass smooth, the Native American god suddenly grinned like he'd won the lottery. "I can do it," he chuckled. "I must do it!" His fur ruffling out, he sat up on his haunches; he began to glow from within with a divine light. "I WILL DO IT!" With this statement, the bone he had just bitten through jumped into the air in front of his face and began to shine as well.
Hotaru watched, her gaze going from shock,... to awe,...
... to a smirk that, had any of the other Senshi seen it, would've make them think Mistress 9 had decided to come back.
At the home of the Outers, the three elder Senshi were waiting anxiously for their teammate/adopted daughter to return.
As the door opened, the trio could hear two voices talking in low tones, the occasional giggle interrupting the muted conversation. They waited patiently, as the sound of soft footsteps approached the living room.
They watched as the little violet haired girl came around the corner, still in conversation with someone who had remained hidden.
Haruka cleared her throat, causing Hotaru to pause. "Care to tell us where you've been?" she asked, flatly. The other two simply nodded.
Rather than cringing, the younger girl gave them a dazzling, Usagi-esque 'this is going to floor you' grin. "I want you to meet my new friend," she said as she reached back around the corner and pulled her companion forward, "Arizona Ookami."
Standing beside the little girl was what appeared to be a near twin. The only difference between the pair was skintone, hair and eye colors. Arizona slightly more tanned-looking than Setsuna; her hair was a mottled black, brown and white that appeared too smooth to be a dye job and a pair of eyes that seemed to shift between a slivery-grey and sparkling gold.
"She's visiting from America." Hotaru's grin turned to a smirk. "She's also my cousin," she added, to the shock of the others.
Arizona's smirk, if anything, a bit more nerve-racking: it was absolutely identical to her 'cousins'. "Hello, Aunties," she said in perfectly accented Japanese.
