The Inuzuka had been thinking about her a lot as of late, the girl with the horns. A previously unknown relation of Keni's, held captive for years by a criminal organisation, and then there was that last encounter by the hotsprings. Sprouting a new pair of horns, and seeming to become possessed by some strange external force. As Keiyaku sat, fresh-faced and refreshed, on the porch of his family's complex, he felt his hand reach, absent-mindedly for his stomach, imagining he could feel the tattoo tingle there as he ruminated on the situation. Whatever was going on with her, she seemed to be developing new capabilities, and that could be a problem if not carefully reigned in.
'No shit. Last time I got something new, I almost killed three people,' Keiyaku thought to himself, frowning a little and looking down at Morutobu who was peacefully snoozing, leaning against his leg. Things had quieted down somewhat with his own issues; Corvus-sensei's intervention seemed to have shocked the thing into lying low for a while. At least, that was how it felt. Moreover, Keiyaku seemed to be getting a handle on the triggers that pissed it off, so made a conscious effort to carefully avoid those situations. Still, it wasn't great as a long-term solution. In fact, he needed some kind of plan before the next full moon.
All of this was to say, he didn't want Ayeka to have to go through an analogous situation, overwhelmed by some kind of force taking her over. What exactly was happening anyway? Feeling a certain protectiveness of her, he'd sent her a letter, invited her to the Inuzuka clan complex, with the intention that they could both see what implications this recent metamorphosis held for her, and if she could still pursue the ambitions she'd come to nurture since arriving in Leaf.
