”.....” Something was wrong. Something wasn’t right. A letter from Strafe had arrived asking Demi to come to Kumogakure, with Iro in tow, and pick up Kaia before moving on to ‘some place safe’. No actual village mentioned: simply some place safe. Well, Demi knew of a safe place, a safe village: a safe family who would welcome them in instantly and allow them to stay for as long they needed - one with connections to boot. But first… she had to get herself and Iro to Kumogakure so they could get Kaia.
”Iro, dear. Do you remember how your father and I told you to keep a spare bag packed in case an emergency ever came up and we had to leave suddenly? Do you have that dear? We need to leave for Kumogakure, immediately. Your father wants us to pick up Kaia and move on to a safe place…” Typical Demi; she wasn’t sugar coating or lying to her son. No, he had a right to know when things weren’t all rainbows and sunshine - even though she wished they were. Kaia was in danger, hell all of them were really. Kiri was no more safe right now with assassins and the like after half the family then Kumo with what could likely turn into an all out war about to break out. Strafe was right in asking Demi to get the children to a safe haven: and she knew he would figure out exactly where Demi would have taken the children easily enough. The Dogkage was a wonderful person when it came to children, and Demi herself knew several members of the family fairly well, so she didn’t foresee any issues with the choice she made.
However, she was going to keep that choice to herself for right now - just in case the walls had ears. Paranoid? Perhaps.. But Demi was going to play it safe when it came to her children: she would allow no harm to come to them, she would die first. Hopefully, it wouldn’t come to that, though.
