Wow looking good guys, just need a few more and we can start!

Vey rolled him on hs stomach and sat on his butt. "Vey Flower...what are you doing?" "Shh, you'll see." She bent down and began to kiss every scar and bruise, from past to present. "Do they hurt you much?" "Only when work." Vey began to knead the muscles in his back til he sighed and relaxed, she rolled off and lay on her side looking at him. "Heero...I love you." He smiled warmly and she smiled back, she looked at him and she saw his eyes light up with the look reserved for him alone. he rolled ontop of her and kissed her neck lightly sendign shivers through her body. SHe smiled and arched into him, she bent her head down and mimicked his action agianst his neck. "Mmm, that feels good Vey Flower..." "That's the point Heero dear." She bent one knee between his legs adn smiled as he looked down at her somewhat shocked. "Vey..." "Heero, I'm fine, it's completely up to you...only if it's what you want." "Vey..." She captured his lips with er's agian and nibbled on his bottom lip sendign shivers throughout his body making him tremble. "It's your choice Heero." She felt his hand run up her side and into her shirt, she arched t encourage him. "It's all up to you Heero Love." He looked down at her and she met his gaze with her own. "It's all up to you. If your ready..." SHe put her head under her chin and nuzzled him much like a cat would do and kissed his collar bone. "It's your choice."

Mina blushed lightly and smiled. She put her head on his chest and sighed. "TJ, I know that this must feel odd for you..but please don't leave me agian...I've been solost with out you." She looked up and smiled as he blushed. "You look good when you blush." This made him blush more and she giggled only to be cut off as he bent down adn kissed her again. "Gods, TJ...what will become of us?"

Mina had walked away, she didn't turn back. Her face was red, she placed a finger to her lips as she remembered the feel of TJ's beneath her's. "He said I'm like his sister so there's no way he'll understand that." She turned a corned in the paht and stopped, she looked up at the large double doors to the liberary and sighed. "This is where the truth will sho it's-self." She opened the doors and entered lighting the candels and lamps as she went through. "It's so damp in here, I wonder if any of the books are even still worhty of reading." She found a few books on what she wanted and curled up in a large chair and began to read them. "I knew that something was off about Marcus. He and his brother Victor were criogenicly frozen and promised never to be awakened...but why?" She continued to read and yawned. She put her finger in her place and took off the thin reading glasses looking up at the brightly painted ceiling. Her fingers found her lips agian as she thought of TJ. "Ugh! Stop this girl...He just thinks of you as his sister...I understand that...I do..." Her eyes took on a glazed look as she was lost in thought. "Hmm...TJ, I thought after you woke up and saw how much I had grown...You'd feel the same..." She reopened the book and continued to read unaware of TJ in the shadows.

Vey smioled wickedly and straddeled Heero's waist. "So tell me something dear Heero..." SHe placed a hand on either side of his head." Do you know what happened now?" He cocked hi head sideways and tenesed a little. "No." "You...LAUGH!" Vey attacked his sides tickleing him and making him laugh out loud, he rolled over ontop of her and sighed as she lay there contenet. "Heero, if you could go anyplace in the world where would it be?" SHe closed her eyes and listened to the ocean. "I'd go to the new lands, where no-ones ever been, and see what I can find." SHe opened her eyes and blushed as he brushed away her hair. She leaned into his hand and smiled. "Heero I wnat you to be happy, not just you the whole crew, I want to see you smile alot and laugh alot too. I try my best to do that for you. The crew wants you happy Heero. The Devils Rose wants you happy." She linked her arms around his neck and looked up at him. "Are you Heero? Are you happy with me?"

Satsuki smiled and Looked back at Yeua as he caught his breath. "I see this but I belive Yeua came in last..." She giggled and went to the local bar to get a drink. A bosy sailed from the door and nearly hit her. "Hey watch it damnit!" A burly man about 5 feet taller than her stepped through having to bend to make it. "Hey there slim, You almost hit me and my freinds here when you threw that man out. Apologize." He frowned and grabbed the front of her shirt puling her hair as well, Satsuki narrowed her eyes as she took him in. [I]Drunk, strong, but clumsiy due to the alchohol in his system...He has a better chance agianst a rat...[/I] She smirked and winced as his hold tightened on her hair. "You know it's never wise to get into a fight with a women." "Why is that girl?" "Because, we can be major bitches to people who pull our hair." SHe brought her knee up into his groin and as he let go spun around connect her foot with the side of his face. "Thanks for being our rug, I appriciate it." She stepped over him and picked up his hat placing it on his head and continued into the bar, sitting at the front she waited for Omrie and Yeua knowing that many of the men there were gonna pick a fight with them near the end she asked for one and barley sipped from it so she would be sober for when the real fun started. SHe looked at the others and leaned into Omrie whispering closely to his ear. "Be on your gaurd, I see at least 20 here that would love to get us some where alone to bet the tar outta you and have their way with me." Omrie blinked and looked at her. "That doesn't worry you?" "Not like it hasn't happened before." She looked away, shame written on her face and movements.

Mina had gone after TJ after her visit from Marious. "TJ, I'm worried...things just don't feel right with this, I know for a fact that the Marcus brothers can't be killed that easily...something is wrong..." TJ listened carefully and nodded. "Your right, but wht is it?" "I have no clue....but it just doesn't feel right..." Mina turned and gasped as a shadow of Marcus dissappered from the mirror. "TJ, things are getting crazy around here....I dunno what to belive anymore, so many things have happened, Aaron, Luna, and all the others, I mean don't get me wrong I love having them all here but..." "Something eats at the back of your mind?" "Yes...like there's a piece of this puzzle missing...The Grand Council...Defeated? Some how that doesn't seem possible..." TJ nodded agian. "I understand...I'll look into it for you." "No TJ, I'm doing my own dirty work for once." Mina took the cloak form her door and warpped it around her shoulders. "It's time I begin to look for the truth on my own for my-self and stop relying on others to do it for me." "Mina I understand where your going with this...but it's to dangerous right now, with the attempt on your life and everything else..." Mina took a bow and satchel from the wall and tested the tightness of it. "I think I can handle my-self..." She turned and walked throught the door, she stoped and turned back walking over to TJ. SHe smiled warmly and put her hand on his cheek. "I'm sorry, don't worry about me." She kissed him gently. "I'll be back, I promise." She turned and walked away looking back quickly and then leaving for the liberary about a mile into the woods.

Bravie sttod, blood pouring from her stomach, she coughed and spit blood. "D-Damnit..." She fell to one knee and looked at the two fighters. "This has to stop soon or we'll all be killed." She looks around for a weapon, something anything a finds a disguarded bow and arrow. SHe pulls the arrow back spilling blood all around her and lets it go into Marendith's back. "Dirty sonofa-" She falls passed out, her face contorted in pain.

Vey wiped the tears of mirth from her eyes as Byron and Tanzin danced with Vahn, she looked over at the water and gasped. "Heero! Look!" She ran over with Heero a step behind her, no-one else had followed. Many whales surfaced and sang as the migrated to warmer waters. "Their beatuiful!" She looked up Heero and blushed, the moon light danced in his eyes. SHe looked up at it and cupped her hands over her mouth and howled startling Heero. She laughed and nugded him. "Come on try, it's fun! They'll answer you back." She redid this and smiled as a distant howl was heard. She leaned against Heero putting her head on his shoulder and nothing else, knowing he was still body shy. "Heero...are you still having nightmares?" Heero blinked and looked down at her. "How-?" "I''ve heard you yell at night...I sometimes sit under your window and listen to see if they get to bad...I've woken you up hundreds of times, you ust never knew it...the knock on your door two nights ago, that was me...and the bird by your window that you threw the shoe at...yea, me too." Heero stared at her in disbelife. "Why didn't you just come in?" "I was afriad of frightening you more and I know how you react to situations like that. You lash out." Heero thought on this a moment and nodded. He blinked as something hit him. "Were you the one playing the flute? I heard a flute in my dreams the other night..." "Yea, that was me. I know you like that tune, so I played it while you were sleeping." Her eyes were soft and lined with tears. "You didn't deserve that Heero, what happened to you...you of all people didn't deserve it." She turned and faced him looking up at him, tears tracked her cheeks. "Vey? Whats wrong?" "I miss her Heero!" She buried her face in his chest and sobbed. "Why? Why did she have to die? Why not me or one of the bandits?" Heero stroaked her hair gently and held her close as his own eyes welled with tears. "It's alright Vey Flower...It's alright...she fought hard and did what she could. She lived happy." Vey looked up and closed her eyes as Heero wiped away her tears. His eyes were warm and held none of the fear as before when someone touched him. She threw cation to the wind and stood slowly and placed a gentle kiss on his lips, she puled back blushing.

Vey ran over to Heero as he talked with the twins and smiled up at him. "Heero! We won! We won Heero!" She looked at the brotheres as they gave her a warm smile and looked at Heero. "That your lass Heero lad?" Tanzin asked. Vey found her-self blushing madly. "Uh...Um.....Heero?" A loud bang was heard from the shore as the towns people began the celebration, Vey blinked and left Heero to talk to the brothers as she ran ashore with Jericho. They reached the shore and smiled as the music began. SHe grabbed Jericho's hand and began to force him to dance, the sparkle replaced in her eyes, she was actually havign fun for once and enjoying it. "Come on Jericho! You can dance right?" SHe laughed as Jericho stumbled and fell, she looked at Heero and smiled warmly.

"TJ!" Mina ran over to him and rubbed his hand gently. "Don't, don't blame your-self for his death. Please..."

"Wait...wait, gohst? Of a little girl in LOVE? With you?" She arched an eyebrow and turned to Omrie and blinked. "I think we had best get to the next town before high noon...lets go." SHe began to walk towards their desteation when she turned and smiled. "Remeber, last one there buys us ALL a round..." She took off at a sprint and than a dead run laughing as the boys stumbled to follow her.

Mina looked at TJ and smiled as Aaron left. "I'm quiet sure old friend. The money is nothing for the protection of my people." TJ nodded. "I fear for your life Mina. Someone has already tried to kill you." "Yes. But thats why I have you." SHe walked to him and placed her head on his chest inhaling his scent and sighing. "TJ, what would my father do at a time like this?" She looked up at him waiting for a reply.

Bravie used the WHip over and over sliceing the demons and the javilin to hold them/ "This is to easy! This isn't the main fleet." SHe saw Jin as he came to power and smiled. "Glad he's on our side...now where's Akai..." She saw him go over the side and gasped. SHe ran forward and watched as Akai fought his former friend. "He'll kill Akia, all he can do is defense...unless..." Bravie looked at the whip in her hands and smiled wickely. She snapped the whip twice getting Marendithis's attention. SHe snapped it agian and wrapped it around his wrists binding him tightly giving Akai the opening her needed. "NOW AKAI!" She saw him make his move as Marendithis made his. She felt the whip wrnech from her grasp and growled as she slipped but held tight. "I'm not letting go you sick son of a..." SHe screamed as she fell, and landing on her back on a rock made her choke. "Agh! DAMNIT!" She rolled off as Akai moved in, Bravie grabbed the whip agian and pulled tight. "DO IT AKAI!" Marendithis was getting tired of this and growled furiously. "I'll kill you human!" "Not if he kills you first." Akai's claw showed through Marendithis's stomach.

Vey was still on this damn ship. "Damn...damndamndamn!" She slipped away and into another corridor trying to find a way out, and trying to keep her blood off the floor. "Shit...damnhellshit..." SHe looked around the corner and saw nothing, she knew that only a fw remained on the ship but she still didn;t want to tango with them in her condition. "This is SO messed up..." SHe rounded another corner and stopped, a bandit blinked looking at her and sneered. "So one was left." Vey looked around and saw an opening above her. "And the one was gone!" She leaped up and way into the rafters. "You friged little bitch! Get down here!" Vey stuck her tounge out and giggled as he became beet red. "Only if your fat ass can catch me!" He growled and Vey looked around, the sun was coming up, time to make the move. She jumped down and ran for it, taking a gun from he rack she ran for the deck and on the way lit the gunpowder. "Rot in hell assholes!" She leaped from the deck and into the water, spreading her hands she whriled around and watched as it blew to pieces. She swam forward and popped out of the wter. Her wounds had reopened for all the running but she had done her job, she could hear the cheers from the shore and the calling of everything she held dear to her. "VEY!" She looked up to see the Devils Rose and another ship tangled, a rope let down for Vey to climb up on, she stumbled a little and braced her-self on the side, looking around she spotted Heero and smiled as he winked. "Good job." She nodded and smiled, holding her shoulder she watched Vahn. Woundering what was happeing.

Vey stumbled here and there looking for the gunpowder Heero wanted. ----------------------------------------- "Vey, your the quietest one we have, your a theif and a damn good one, I need you to steal on the ship and blow it to hell and back." "Got it." ------------------------------------------- Vey found what she wanted and stayed there, she leaned agianst the barrel and closed her eyes. She was tired and in pain. She drifted to sleep and waited for the attack to begin, or someone to find her. Either way, she was probably gonna die anyway...no, she'd live, Heero needed her to live. So, she would.

Bravie ran to the tower ein the middle of the compound and climb up and began to ring the bell. She rang it several times when it seemed all the Hunters were assembled she raised her voice. "The demons are attacking! Get ready to fight for your lives and win! We-" An arrow cut her off as it landed by her hand, the head of the council growled at her. "I told you Bravie that you are on hold." "I do not care! These are my people and I will not let them perish!" She swung the javalin as another arrow flew at her aimed for her heart. "You are a fool head council!" "You are just as much a fool Bravie! I will not let a demon coruppt my people!" She swa it come, the demon, she never gave a warning as it swooped down and stole his life from him, she looked at the others. "Well? Fight!" She jumped down and swung the javalin smashing a demon in the face, releasing the whip she cut it's head off. "This should turn to be quiet fun...if I shall live."

Satsuki laughed as Omrie tripped and looked back, she stopped entierly. She flew forward as Omrie ran into her from behind and knocked her down. She looked up to see him looking down at her. "Umm, you mind?" She blushed as he moved and brushed her-self off. "Wheres Yeua?" She looked back at Omrie and blinked. "We have to find him..." She began to run back in the other direction lookin for Yeua.

Vey had seen the bandits retreating and sighed as Morgan began to move away as well. "I DON'T THINK SO MORGAN!" She gripped her sword and flung it heavily as he turned and shot, her sword sunk into his chest as the bullet ripped through her shoulder. SHe screamed and fell to one knee. "Bastard..." She retrived her sword and walked away, she found Heero and the others but stto d and watched leaning agians the side of a building for support, she had almost jumped in when the dagger flew at Heero. She smiled as the Rose aimed at him, she spotted Zero at the helm and smiled more. She walked along behind them unnoticed when the cannons aimed again Heero called her off. She had heard the convosation as well. She walked up behind Vahn and scoffed. She slapped the back of his head roughly. "Don't think that for one moment I'm a maid..." She continued to walk towards the Rose and smiled gratfully as it pulled her gentlly aboard. She hit the deck almost instantly as her legs gave out. She looked up as Heero and Jericho ran to her, looking around she frowned. "W-Where's Katrina..." Heero looked away with tears in his eyes. "N-No...Heero tell me she's alive...tell me she's here..." Heero shook his head and looked back at Vey. "NO!" Vey slamed her fists against the deck making them bleed, tears splashed the wood as she cried. "NO! NO GOD WHY! WHY HER? why not me...." Vey looked around her and sobbed as she remebered Katrina. "It's not fair...it should have been me...." Her vision became blurry and she realized that her wounds were bleeding heavily, the bullet wound in her shoulder was pouring blood down her arm, she whispered something in Heero's ear and passed out on the deck unconsious.

Satsuki slapped Omrie on the arm lightly and chuckled. "Your something else...I say we get outta here fellows." She took up the pole and walked about 5feet abd turned looking at the others. "Coming or gocking at me?" She simled and took off running down the path. "Catch me if you can boys! Last one ther buys a round at the pub for everyone and I'm not it so you two had best hurry!" She laughed out loud as she heard Yeua and Omrie curse and run after her.

Satsuki had seen the look on Omrie's face as he left. She walked behind him silent and as he stopped she came around as well and placed a cool hand on his shoulder. "Look, I know right now you probably think that your worthless, I know that feeling but don't listen to it. You are worth something, but were-beasts are diffrent from other creatures of the Nine Army. They never give up. I'm amazed you even survived an encounter with one. It's surpriseing." She rubbed a comforting circle on his shoulder and smiled. "I'm not as tough as I like people to think, I'm a nice person, just takes a while for a person to know me is all." She dropped her hand and faced him all the way. "You will make a asset to this team, one way or another, but you will, we have yet to see what Yeua can do remeber?" She sighed as he smiled. "Good. Noe find your shirt and lets get back to camp so we can find the way outta here, what do you say?" She held out a hand for him to shake and smiled more as he took it a second later. "Great, meet you back with Yeua, I think it'd be wise if we moved together in this forest."

Bravie bust into the council roomand stopped out of breathe. "The demons know where we are." Many stood others laughed. The head stood, a smirk on his face. "Bravie, you are a hot headed child that seems to think that any form of danger means that the demons have found us. We are well hid and do not have to worry about anything harming us." "You fool! You'll not trust the insticts of a Hunter or a demon!" "No! We will not Bravie! You may leave now! We will hear no more of this!" Bravie frowned, tears lineing her eyes, she belived Akai, she didn't know why but she did. She wouldn't let her people be killed. "Fine have it your way...I'll find out for my-self." "No, you won't You're being put on hold until further notice." "WHAT? But I'm one of the best you have!" "And foolish. You are on hold Bravie." She ran to Akai's room and let him out. "Take me to them."

Satsuki was about to comment when a howl issued from the bend in the stream, next thing she knew a bare chested Omrie was bolting for them, a were-beast foloowing not to far behind. "Figures..." She strode forward as Omrie ran past. "What are you doing? That thing'll rip you to pieces!" She smiled and released the whip form her bel lashing it out and at the beast,a long, deep gash showed on it's muzzel, it howled with paind and charged agian, she laughed almost sadly and wrapped the whip around the creatures leg tripping it inches form Omrie's foot, he jumped back and knocked an arrow as it snapped it's jaws and lunged forward only to remain where it was. It growled and looked back at Satsuki who was twirling the pole easily in her hands making it sing. It lunged and swiped at her scratching her cheek. "You fuzzy bastard." She frowned and swung, with a dull thunk the pole connedted with it's neck snapping it in one blow. SHe smiled grimly as the boys looked at her. "Exterminator...that was my rank in the school." She pulled a chain from her pocket full of claws and teeth, snapping one from the beasts mouth she placed it on the chain and held it up counting. "87, 5 more andI'll have the record." She walked to the stream and cleaned her hands off, ignoring the cut on her cheek that oozed blood. "So, shall we go and find Omrie's shirt than be on our way?"

"FOUR MILLION! those bastards!" She threw her arms into the air and plopped onto the bed. "Damnit!..." She sighed and nodded. "I'l pay it, but if they harm ANY of my people, I'll kill them all and keep my money, but I need their help so I'll pay the price they wish." Aaron blinked at her. "Thats so high..." "For the lives of my people, anything is worth it, I have seen children grow up her Aaron, there are children here now...I'm doing this for them, I'm giving them a chance to live and be happy, if not for them, for their future than for who, for what?" She looked at him sinserly and nodded again. "I'll pay."
