Akieen Cloud

Satsuki walked past Omrie to the scot and began to wrap her whip around the man's body when he woke and lashed out against her, she grunted as his fist hit her in the face and barred her teeth as he kiscke out at her, grabing the arrow from Omrie's hand she held the point to the man's throat. "Alright bastard....I'd calm down if I were you." She wiped the blood that oozed from her lip and spit on the ground, she licked the side of her mouth as more began to run down her chin. She finished tieing him and stood. She felt the swollen half of her face and growled, she kicked him hard in the side for good measure and knealt infront of him. "So you feel like making a friend?" "Om kala noon teal." "I see, Nine Army alright, only they use that language." Omrie looked at her. "Can you make it out?" Satsuki shrugged. "Of corse. He told me to fuck off." Satsuki stood smileing for a moment than turned and punched the man in the throat she grabbed his shirt front and hauled him to his feet. "Talk you piece of Nine Army scum. Why are you in these lands?" "These lands are the next target of the Lord. He wishes to have the world." "He'll have to go through me to get to these lands and it'll take more than three scouts." "Why do you care what happens to these lands women?" "This is my home land. I was born not far from here and I'll be damned if I let you and the Nine Army take it over. When is the envasion?" "The group that was here earlier seperated the attack and we had to retreat but the fool that led the party gave his life and ended up killing all that were with him and all that were left behind by us." "....Jericho....." "You can't run from him, join him. He'll take of you, you'll never have a worry again." "Yeah, I'll join him....IN HELL!" Satsuki twisted his neck sharply breaking it and watched breathing heavily as the lie force ran from his body she stood shaking and ran a hand through her loose hair mixing the orange and blue, she smiled at Omrie and blinked as the bloodlust left her eyes. She fell to one knee and coughed. He cheeks were flushed and she was breathing heavily. Omrie turned to Yuea nd frowned and walked up to satsuki placing a hand on her shoulder she looked up at him and he placed a warm hand on her forehead pulling back quickly. "Satsuki...your burning up...you have a fever..." Satsuki mumbled that she was fine and made an attampt to stand when her weakness caught her and she fell into Omrie's arms.

"You lose your face about it." Omrie looked up. "Huh?" "Your charge. You don't concentrate hard enough." "Like you would know?" Satsuki smiled as the pole frosted over in her grasp and then back to normal again. "I belive I do, as for being at 100 percent, I don't care. Those bastards hurt you and they're gonna pay for it with their lives." She looked back at hima nd smirked. "One other thing, when you release the arrow, don't keep one eyes closed, keep both open, better accuracy and as for your charge. All you need to do is keep the target in your mind and never lose face of concentrateing. As for me. I'm fine. Don't worry about me, when I can't walk than we'll worry. Till than, I'm fine." She smiled and contniued walking. "The plan, Jericho had a plan. The Nine Army is the fiercest because they have inside help. I'm not scared of them Omrie. I'll give my life for my home and what I belive in. And for the one's I care for." She kept walking ahead of them to hide the slight blush that stole across her cheeks.

Satsuki looked up. "Oh yea, I was never really tired, but I knew that your ass was and Omrie looked like he could ue a break." She picked up the pole that was ever present and shifted the wire in her mouth as always. "well let's go." She took a step and looked back. "Omrie....you might wanna towel." She threw him a towel and kept walking the pole swinging back and forth wiht her shoulders. She looked back and smiled. "Hurry you two. The Nine Army's a waitin, and I plan on kicking some ass." She turned away and walked ahead for a while whisteling the school song from her mind.

Mayhony slid up beside Syn and leaned into him placing her head on his shoulder and sighing. "I've been thinking. That raid was a set up. Some one had to give our plans to Nicholas and those bastards." "What do you mean a traitor?" 'Possibly...but no-one from the gang..." "Than who?" "An old person that I thought I could trust...I have to go look into something Syn, I'll be back." She stood and retreived her weapons and jacket and walked into the shadows of the woods she now had them stationed in, she passed by Sage and Ty and growled. "Get back to the house.It's not safe out here. Tell Hyo for him and his girlfriend to get off the roof they make easy targets." She continues to walk, she came to a clearing and stopped. "You have guts old one." "So, you found out it was me?" "Naturally. Why?" "For the price on your head Mayhony." She watched with hatred in her eyes as the old man came form the shadows, her grandfather. "To betray your own blood for money? That's low, even for you." "So you say love." "SHUTUP!" She moved forward and found her blade against the old man's "I'll kill you you old kotcher!" "Your young and rash. You do not think things through, are you sure you'll kill me?" Mayhony moved swifty, spinning she slit the tender throat and smiled as her choked and gurgled for breath. "Yes, I'm sure." She walked back to the hous ena dstopped before the steps looking at all the others. "Get some sleep, we train tomarrow, we're going to go after the Zeal Crystal." Sage blinked. "We're trying again. The last abstical should be gone now. We start retraining tomarrow, get ome rest." She walked into the house and found Syn. "Thank you." She kissed him deeply and walked to her room smileing.

Mayhony fought the gaurds back with her feet and fists, she was glad that she had taken kick boxing with the others. She growled ain frustration as she swa the dynamite on the floor the fuse gone and useless. "Damnit." Her scyth lay broken and helpless on the floor as she fought. "They better be gone...I won't be responsible for their deaths." She heard a scream behind her and looked up in shock as Syn came through the dooeway. "WHAT? SYN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING! GET OUT OF HERE!" She spun and kicked a man in the chest smileing as she heard ribs crack and break under the pressure. "Go." Seh looked back at Syn and frowned. " I thought I said fro you all to get out of here." "We won't leave you here to die." "And I won't be responsible to report to your families that your all dead!" "LIsten to me! We get out of here, we'll try again." "No, we get out of here we quit. I won't put you in danger like this agian. Ever." Syn grabbed her wrist and threw down a smokwe bomb Hyo had given him and dragged her from the room and out the front. "Let's go!" Mayhony took the lead and led them to another hidout in the pass of a moutian that stood over the small town. "I think that we need to quit while we're ahead...I won't put you all in that danger agian." She limped to a room n the back to tend to her wounds, she looked down at the floor as blood splattered the floor. "I'll be in the back...Make sure the others are ok and get them stitched up." She closed the door and sat on the bed putting her face in her hands she began to cry. "What have I done...I could've killed all of them...I-I could have killed them...what have I done..."

Satsuki smiled and cuffed Yeua on the arm lightly laughing as he fliched. "Two for fliching." She cuffed him twice more and looked at Omrie. "What do you think? The heat has gotten to him huh?" Omrie shook his head and Satsuki sighed. "Jezz what is it going to take to loosen you guys up?" She looked over at a small lake and smiled. grabbing the reins and Omrie's hand she dragged them over and stopped. "Let's take a break. Please?" She looked up at Yeua pleadingly. He nodded. "Yes!" She ran to the water's edge and took off her boots, slipping her toes intot he water she sighed and sat down on the sand reclining back on her hands relaxing. "Ya know...thins mission, it sounds fishy to me...I mean I didn't know Jericho but I heard he was one of the best in the school. Wasn't he?" Yeua nodded. "So how could he be beaten so easily...unless it was a commander of the Nine Army and I doubt tht they'd send them out so early on in the war..." She wiggled her toes into the sand and looked up at Omrie and Yeua. Smileing she looked back at the water and sighed.

Mayhony fell to the floor slaming her fists on the cold stone. "DAMNIT! I should never have brought them here, any of you...I'm sorry, I put you all in danger..." She looked up tears streaking her face, she stood, her knuckles dripping blood on the floor where she slamed them down. "This way, I heard a gaurd talking about Sage and Ty...I think they may need some help once we got out of this...I'll make sure none of you see this place ever agian..." She picked up the scyth and looked at Syn. "Hyo...get him outta here, he needs to see a doctor. Get him to one. I'll bring the others back. That's an order. Follow it." Syn was about to argue when Mayhony tunred and ran down the hall towards the main security office she passed a shadow that was attached to the wall and stopped. "Let's go Ty. Shadow's Dragon. The Dead Angel requests your assistance." He nodded silently and follwoed her throught the shadowed halls to the office where Sage lay on her knees infront of Nicholas and a gun pointed at her head, Ty jerked forward as if to tackle the man. "No!" She whispered harshly."Wait till the right thime. This guy means busissness." "So do I." "Yea well, that's Sage's life there Ty. Don't fuck it up. Wait...gimme your knife." She felt the cold steel placed in her palm and smiled grimly, she threw the blade with persicion and smiled as he screamed and dropped the gun. "Go! Get her out of here Ty. I'll handle the cover up." "But-" "Go. that's and order. Get here out of here and make sure the others get to a doctor, that includes you too Ty. take care fo them till I get back." He nodded as she took a stick of dynamite from his pocket and lit it stepping into the hall. "You have ten minutes Ty. Move your ass." Ty ran down the hall Sage held tightly in his arms. He could hear Mayhony from down the hall. "You fuck with my band you fuck with me. the Dead Angel. Burn in hell you son of a bitch!"

Mayhoyn trusted the feeling of ease in her mind as she approched the Crystal that Ty and Hyo had both did the job right. She walked over and cut the glass to the Zeal and reached in as her fingers closed over the cool surface of the jewle she growled as alarms went off and she was surrounded by gaurds, the gaurds were male. "WHAT? This isn't what I saw a week ago!" She ducked and weaved as the gaurds came at her, she bobed ontop of one to avoid being hit and reached for her scyth she swung and found the blade pined under the foot of a hefty gaurd, he kicked her in the side causeing her to cry out. "Damnint!" She grabbed the pistols in her jacket and took down as many as the bullets would allow. She was soon swamped and she looked over just as Syn ran into the room to see her punched in the stomacha dn knocked to the ground. A burly gaurd stood over her. "She's a beauty, eh? Well lets get her to the boss." Mayhony moaned as she was lifted and carried away.

Satsuki twirled the pole as they walked out of the school. "So, now where?" "To where Jericho and the others were killed." She looked back at Yuea as he frowned and rubbed his backside. He still wasn't able to walk all that well yet. Even after a good night's rest, so the committee had put him on a horse which now rubbed his butt raw. "You look pretty funny up there cowboy." Satsuki looked at Omrie and sighed. He was so quiet since yesterday. She smiled and jumped onto his back. "Hi! You Okay?" He shrugged which sent her back to the ground and into a mock march.She sombered quickly as she saw the look in his eyes. "Omrie it wasn't your fault.You couldn't have helped it even if you wanted to." "Satsuki..." She turned and walked backwards placing a finger to his lips to silence him. "Shutup. It wan't your fault. Don't balme your-self. Please?" She touched his cheek endearingly and spun walking the correct way again. "Besides we have bigger things to worry about." She looked back and smiled.

Mayhony looked around. "Senkai and Xero will have to deal with this on their own. Alright, I think it's obvious that the hiest the Sage, Ty, Syn and I pulled eariler was a succsess." She threw a bag of money to each in turn and she saw the look on Hyo's face as he realized he had recived more than normal. "This is for you to spend. I have divided it amoung you as I see you each deserve, or use." Sage looked at her. "Where's your's?" "I don't need that. I am going after what I want tonight. Now here's the plan. Sage, you and Syn are in title to the diversion. Hyp, Ty, you two will disarm the laser wires and alarms. I'll go in and see what I can do to get that damned crystal. After all that. We leave. Anyone who falls behind gets left behind. Thieves, and pirates code. My code. Keep up or get dragged. I leave no-one. Got that? So no-body get injured." She felt the razor edge of the scyth on her back and smiled as blood welled up around the tiny gash. "The dead angels, we live for the hunt. Let's go. Quickly and quietly. Like shadows. Move out." Mayhony dissappered into the trees and ran along side Ty and Sage. "Be ready. This is going to be the most dofficult heist you've ever had." Both nodded. "Good luck. SPLIT AMD REFORM! SEE YOU ALL THERE!" She veered to the left and ran for the main entrance to the crystal as the others took their places.

wow didn't think I'd start all that. As for my life being a cakewalk....BS!!!! My life's been a hellhole since I could walk , but I won't go into that. All I wanna know is if people my age are trying their hardest at **** they aren't good at to begin with (like math or biology) and still get critisized because your parents siblings kids are getting a's and b's while you get the 'average grades' and are proud of your-self but that just won't please them...thats all. But I will tell you I HAVE had to worry about having water or lights...I've had to live off of caned green beans for two years...now... I can't stand em' LOL and I can still laugh. Trust me I know how to suck things up. All this girl wants to know is if other people's parents are as expecting of them as mine are of me??

Alright lemme get one thing straight. This has NOTHING to do with sex. I wanna know if anyone has parents that make them feel like they don't do enought around the house or with their school. I mean I think I do fairly well in school but it seems like that harder I try the worse I do and the more they harp and grip and complian about it. I mean I know that the school curiculum is harder now and that they can't alway help with it. But I mean parents think our lives are cake walks. I think that if our parents took a good long walk in our shoes for one day in school they'd think otherwise. Kinda like freaky friday thing. But seriously. How does everyone else deal with it. I'm 16 and it STILL drives me up a bannana tree...

I will tell you people. Eyes CAN change temproaraly. Mine do. When I don't have my violet contacts in. My eyes are naturally blue, like a light navy blue. But when I get REALLY mad, they tunr BLACK. I don't mean my whole eyes I mean the iris. just the colored part. When I'm happy or in a good mood. They turn bright blue. When I'm sick or have a bad feeling they turn steely blue almost grey and when I"m thinking or got my mind on something really big, like a compotion or a big test or things like that than they turn like a aqua teal color. But I KNOW that MY eyes DO change color because I don't think lighting or blood across tha muscle can make that much of a diffrenece. And I know that they do bacuse I've seen them change. I was standing infront of my mirror after getting ina fight with my mom and dad about school and my grades and **** and they were black, than they SLOWLY turned downt the color factor and retuned to a dark blue than as I calmed down more and more they turned back to normal blue. So I know for a fact that mine change color, and my best friend can vouch for it too, because she saw it as well the day and ex-boyfriend of mine tried to start **** with her. She said that when I looked up at him form my seat my eyes were black and I looked like death warmed over. I actually thought that was pretty awsome...but anyway. I am with Heero on this. My eyes change colors.

Satsuki wiped her eyes and walked over to Yeua and helped him to his feet. "Thank you Yuea...You saved him...You did." She supported him with Omrie following close behind his eyes downcast. SHe walked into the main office and helped Yuea into a chair and leaned on the wall close by incase of emergency. "Well, whats our mission?" "Assasiasion." Satsuki gaped. "What? Your joking. We're not qualified for that. You can't put us on that kind of misson." "Yuea, your taking over the mission that your freind Jericho failed on." Satsuki frowned. "Failed...You mean gave his life for right? As a brave honest fighter would." The man looked away from her eyes and than back at Yuea. "Yor dissmissed. You have your orders." Satsuki helped Yeua out agian and gave him to Omrie as they passed a bathroom. "I gotta go wash my face real quick guys be back quick." She slipped in and looked in the mirror at her face, her jaw was swollen and her left eye was begining to blacken. "Oooo, thats gonna be pretty." She rinsed her face off quickly and slipped back into the hall. "well let's go. All fo us." She looked at Omrie and smiled.

Mayhony stood looking around. "Tonight, yes tonight is the raid." She went around gathering things and opened her closet. Inside was a black leather outfit, silver buckles graced the theighs and upper arms as she donned on the tight shirt and pants, the high collar hideing a tattoo that the others had failed to notice. She hooked the gun holsters around her arms fitting them to her ribs. She twirled the silver guns and slipped them into the seats that they rested in. She grabbed the leather jacket off the hook and slipped it on, it brushed the floor as she walked to her weapon cabinet. She trew it open and grabbed the shotgun and bow and arrows, she slipped the belt of daggers around her waist and sighed as the familiar feeling of the Dead angel set in upon her. She slipped her feet into the heavy boots and zipped them and then clipped the buckles across her shin and calf. She opened her door and met Syn. "Get ready. We're leaving." Syn blinked. "Wha?" "The raid. It's tonight. We leave in fifteen minutes. Get everyone together, make sure that they wear black. We don't need to be seen. By anyone." She walked outside and slipped the scyth and a sheath for it onto her back, looking back at Syn she smiled. "We need to be back by dawn, the sun's setting and I'm sure that the gaurds will be taking their posts now. Hurry up Syn." She walked off the deck and sat on the bottom step waiting for the others to come out and greet her. The Dead Angel.

"I think we can think of something..." Mayhony walked over to Hyo and put a shoulder under his arm helping him along a little more quickly. "You really should have stayed in bed Hyo. You could mame your-self permenatly." "So could you." "Not really no. I've had much worse than a dagger in the back and a few scrapes." She stopped and let Hyo rest against a tree. "No I heard that the bank here is pretty well loaded, and I think we could all use some spending cash for the day after tomarrow. So we raid the bank and get the hell out of here. Ty your in charge of security, Hyo, you'll come with me. We'll be lifting the spoils. As for Sage and Syn...You two have diversion duty, and Syn I belive that your past here could do that perfectly. Sage just don't let him get hurt." She walked up to Syn and hugged him tightly. "Come back to me okay?" She buried her face in his chest and sighed. Looking up she kissed him and ran off with Hyo. "Meet back here in fifteen minutes!" She helped Hyo along as they headed for their target.

Satsuki regained consiousness and looked up at his retreating form. "No...don't quit...please....Omrie..." Satsuki stood leaning on the wall and began to limp towards omrie's retreating form. She forced her-self upright and into run till sheas face to face with him and slapped him. She sniffed and fell into him wrapping her arms around his waist into a tight hug crying into his chest. "You can't quit! You can't, I won't let you...You have to keep going no matter what...that wasn't your fault...don't think that, I didn't get hurt because of you...I chose to get in the way, I had to to protect you and the mission...Omrie, don't quit...don't leave...please...." She kept her face buried in his chest to hide the blush that stole across her cheeks.

"Well now that I have all of your attetion I think that it's safe to say that more people than we want know about what we're up to. So here's the plan. We go as soon as Hyo can walk. Which should be soon. Till than I need Syn, Ty, Sage. I'm gonna take you three to train on getting through the lasers and turning off the security systems. I know all the codes and I can get you through there easy as pie. Everyone else just stay here and relax, we'll be gone about one day tops." Mayhony walked away slowly waiting for the others to follow her. "lets go, we need to do this trianing done quickly enough to get back here in time to get ready." She grabbed the Scyth from the deck and walked away and into the woods and shadows.

Mayhony looked around, things were getting to risky. "I've had enough of this." She opened the door and smirked as a dagger was thorwn at her foot. "I wasn't who you were expecting was I?" She caught another dagger deftly in her hand as it sailed by her head. Blood ran down her wrist but she didn't aknowlage it. "I have had it with you threatening my band and hurting them. I'm ending this." Syn ran forward. "Mayhony, your back, you can't fight like this." She turned and looked at hin, a flame of hatred buring in her eyes, but not for him. He knew he couldn't stop her. "This is my home Syn, my family. I'll have no more harm come to them." She steped out onto the deck an stopmed on a loose board bringing it up she kicked it and bent to pick up the hidden scyth there. "I only use this on special occasians." She stepped out onto the night soaked ground and twirled he large blade expertly. "We only want the assianess." "You'll get her when you kill me." Three shadows detached them-selves and flung at her. She smiled and spun the blade carelessly. Blood splattered the ground as they were sredded by the scyth. A red gleam was in her eyes as she smelt the blood and felt it on her hands. "This is a band fight, whatever spoils and point you have belong to us should you die." The leader nodded and cahrged, the pistol shot rang throught the yard and everyone held their breath as they kept fighting, they could hear the blood hit the grass and dirt. The figures began to move o quickly they became blurs. "It's time to finish this!" Mayhony stepped back and brought the scyth forward and up as he shot though her shoulder, he fell t the ground, split in half. SHe wiped the blade clean and smiled at the onlookers. "You tell you REAL boss that the Dead Angel wants a council with him or her. Oh yea and one more thing." She walked over to the leader and sliced of his head. "Take this with you to show as proof that I mean bussiness. I'm done running.' She threw the scyth back into it's hideing place and put the board back. Looking up at the others she smiled. "Well, we may just have to move now." The Bullet wound in her shoulder and theigh were bleeding steadily. "Get everyone together. We have to disscuss the raid." She looked at Hyo. "You up to it?" He nodded making her smile. "Good."

OCC---Okay so I've been reading alot of redwall books lately, I dunno if many people read those but their really good. Your characters will not be human or anyother creature that resembles a human. They will be animals for those of you who haven't read. Okay, good guys are Otters, Mice, Hedgehogs, Shrews, Moles, Badgers, Voles, Hares,Squirlls, animls like that. Bad guys are Ferrets, weasels, rats, stoats, wildcats, vermine of anykind and wicked looking animals...well sorta. Yea well here goes. For many years this land has been guarded by the loyal followers of the Badger lord and his loyal Long Patrol hares. The waters were protected by my caln of otters. things were peaceful, till the frightful day that seemed to rain blood upon our lands. I am a old warrior now, I have seen many seasons but this particular season is the one where my brother came to power. I have taken the task of being recorder for my clan and I write down our history, this tale of death and pain is one I thought the entire shore should know of. It was raining that day, endless rain. the scores of pirate ships that landed upon our shores were many in number and carried even more frightful numbers amoung them. The badger lord of Salamandastron was forced to call upon all those around the shores to aid him against the terrible beast the was Luserason Bloodlast. The haunting fox that brought his horde to take over our lands. He was grey from age and carried a long scyth that was alomost as frightful looking as him-self. He had a gold hoop in his left ear, a necklace made from bones of his fallen eneimes and bracelets up both wrists. His eyes were dark Red and meanicing. He wore a black tunic and his face was tatooed to resemble death. The Blood Red cloak made him look all the more terrible. The lord badger of the mountain and five of his long patrol met him on the shores. Words were shared and we recived message that a war was going to take place no doubt. Things became more complicated as my brother and the other otter warriors assembled along with my-self. We learned that night that Luserason had slyed a hare as she walked away with her lord. We were appalled. The badger lord had requsted our aid in the battle and we gave it to him. A tidal wave of anger and retrobution was about to spill out upon the shores of Salamandastron like nothing we have ever seen and I was in the middle of it. This is the storey of the battle of the mountain. Okay I need as many people as I can get for this, if it's a flop than hey I tried. I need One Luserason Bloodlast. This will be the bad guy and I am giving it to the first person who wants it first come first serve, I also need one otter warrior for my brother. These two characters will go into the fianl battle and fight to the death. I need ONE bader lord of Salamandastron. Other than that you can be what ever you want. Here's mine. Name: Herya Age: 17 seasons (seasons are like years) Gender: F Weapons: Sling, bow, hand scy. (3 weapons tops please) Profile: Born on the shores of Slamandasrton she was rasied by her mother and father. She follows her brothers example and becomes a warrior of the otter clan and fights for the mountian. (doesn't have to be very long just lemme know where you came from and stuff like that) Personality: She is nothing like a lady and is fire spirited, She fights hard and never rests when theres work to be done. Kind natured but firce on the battle feild.

Great to have you T.K. Join when ever you feel inclined. Just please don't make it random, now would probably be a good time to join in. Read first. that way you know whats going on. Have fun and post often.

Vey smiled as Heero wiped his eyes. "Aye aye Captin!" She laughed as he spuaked indignatly. "Vey!" She swung down on to the sand and ran into the caveren and called back. "Well what are you all waiting for?! Winter!?" OCC: Sorry it's so short but I really do not feel very well at this moment and I think that dinner is doen. I'm never one to be late for a meal. Later days!

Mayhony looked around the room and smiled, her entire band was sleeping peacefully, wether drunk or sober. She placed a blanket over Ty and Sage as they slumbered and another over Syn. Senkai and Xero had one already. She went outside and sat on the porch, looking up at the sky she smiled. "Two more days till full moon and than that will be the time. When the moon is full, the Dead Angels fly amoung the liveing." She caught the dart as it headed for her face and smiled. "Your getting to loud Luke." An elderly man slipped from the shadows and walked over to her. His black hair greying and his mustace already grey. His eyes were midnight blue and hard with age and wisdome. "So, I see you have a band ready for the raid on the full moon." "They seem to have what it takes." "Are you sure? Grandaughter?" "Don't call me that old man." "Hmph. Fine. Mayhony, you know all I mean is well by you." "I know Luke but sometimes things are better taken care of by ones-self." "You've grown wise." "I've grown streetsmart." "Well, let me know when you leave. I'll go wiht you. Those youn un's in there are just full of hot air." Mayhony smiled as Sage's pistol met the back of his skull. "Hot air old man? I think more along the lines of attention. The others are awake as well. I will let you know before we move. Now go and take care of what I asked you to." "Of corse." He dissappered intp the shadows. Mayhony smiled and closed her eyes. "Go back to sleep Sage. No need for alarm. That was my grandfather."

Mayhony looked around and smiled, everyone was looseing up some. SHe had seen Sage leave and Ty follow. She'd give them some time, she now climbed the stairs...Their time was over. She knocked on Sage's door and smiled as Ty opened it. "Mayhony?" "I need to speak with Sage. ALONE." Ty frowned and stepped out, Mayhony stepped in, shut and locked the door. "So thought about what I said?" "Yes and I'm as confused as ever." "Good." "What?" Mayhony fiddled with a small trinket on Sage's desk. "I said good. Do you know what coems first?" "I-I want you to go without me on the mission. "No can do." "But you said-" "What I had to say to get you out of that mood of 'The sky is falling and I'm gonna die' get it?" "No." "Instead fo it being nothing but the mission and trying to keep away from others, it's TY. Isn't it?" "How-" "Look Sage, I know more than you think. I'm not blind or stupid. I know how you feel. Your mind is clear and you know what's important. I couldn't have you thinking of nothing but that damned crystal enough not to look after the well being of the others, and the ones you love." Mayhony winked and opened the door. "Welcome to the family Sage, why don't you come down and have a few drinks, see if we can get Ty and Syn tipsy?" Sage smiled. "I'll be down in a minute Mayhony." "Alright, don't take to long." Mayhony left and walked bak down to the living room.

Satsuki felt life in her body as air flowed to her lungs, she woke up coughing and souttering, Yeua by her on ht e floor. "W-What are you doing? Go after him! I'll be right behind you." She looked up as he nodded and ran down the hall, she stood on shaky legs. [I]It didn't work! But why?![/I] She stumbled twice and ran down the hall oppisite of where the others went her intentions of heading them off. SHe skidded to a stop infront of her door and reached in grabbing her whip. [I]I don't want to hurt you Omrie...but I have to protect this mission and the leader...you understand right?[/I] She ran wih all her might down the hall and stopped as Yeua went flying across the hall. She snapped the whip and caught his wrist. "Omrie! I know you can hear me! Snap out of it!" "He can't, his body is mine now!" "NO! He can win that fight! I belive in him!" "Than your foolish!" "I geuss I am." She felt the whip being wrenched from her grasp but held on, her legs and arms were weak from recovering from the first incounter. "I won't give up!" "Than you will die!" "If that's what Omrie really wants than so be it!" His eyes turned wide as Omrie heard her statement. She wrapped the whip around her wrist knowing that one good tug would snap in two. "I told him that I wouldn't and I won't! I'm still here! I'll always be here, until I die. I am death, Death embraces me and I welcome it's caress. You killing me would be like sending me home. But until I do die I'm not quiting." "Your a stupid girl." "We'll see." He pulled on the whip sending her forward.
