RPG Dead Fate (M-LV)

[Makurayami]

Omrie ran just behind Satsuki. His breathing was controled and he was going pretty steady. He could see the town coming up. "I'm gunna win!" Satsuki shouted.

As soon as she shouted Omrie bolted. Yeua ran with Omrie, not as fast, but still at a good speed. Suddenly Omrie moved with an amazing speed, the same speed he had used in his fight. He passed Satsuki and stepped into the town. Yeua ran passed Satsuki behind Omrie. Turning around Omrie looked at Satsuki with a smug smile. "I win."

[Akieen Cloud]

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.

[bogger3k]

Yeau looked around cautiously observing each person carfully. Not a good bunch if you asked him. He was certainly glad that he had Omrie and Satsuki with him, dispite getting seperated from them more than once as well.

Yeua had a bag full of coins to his side so he was more than willing to pay for drinks, but he wasn't much of a drinker. More of a [I]give me one ale and I'll be here two weeks drinken it[/I] kind of guy. He didn't even ask for anything to drink and decided to just let the others have their fun. Besides the view from behind Satsuki was pleasant enough.

Then his mind began to wonder. It wanted to see the gem again but in fear of what happened last time he saw it kept it tucked away. Instead he remembered the little girl, or the ghost of one. Perhaps a memory locked away that just popped out. Perhaps she was his younger sister or a really good childhood friend, but none of that made sence because she was Kellage. He then remembered that she said that he would be seeing her. He had to get answers.

Yeua dropped several coins on the table and stood up. "You two enjoy youselves for a little while. I have something I have to do." He said and with that he didn't even let the scolding voice of Satsuki stop him from running out of the pub.

Out the entrance and aronud the side. He was fortunate enough to find a ladder to the roof. A great place to cheak out the city with very little danger. He could also see if he could find the little girl once more. Again unlikly because if she was real Kellage arn't welcome in this town.

He jumped rooftop to rooftop viewing various intersting things. Merchants selling items and buying them up for less than fair deals from gullible people. Some other transactions that many towns have outlawed but since this one hasn't he could do nothing. Then he came to one roof that had a very narrow and dark ally between it and the next one he had not benn on yet. At this point he had given up and hope of finding the girl specifically, but he found something else.

"Give in sweety." The words of an imfamous voice, that he couldn't reckonize but could tell just by the details in it, caught his attention. He looked over the ridge and saw that three men, all very banditish looking, where moving in on a stumbling girl. She looked terrified and they looked like they had something very bad on their minds.

"This will be over quickly unless you strugle too much young one." Another one of these mad looking men said as they moved closer to a girl who's back was now against a wall.

Yeua once again had that first instinct to run away, afraid to help for some reason, but just like last time he didn't. Yeua was able to stand and draw his blade having it's burning steel begin to glow brightly. He could see all three of them had daggers and there was no big deal there, he could handle it.

He jumped and landed between the girl and the men kneeling. "Who the hell are you?" One of them asked as Yeua stood from a kneeling position that he hasd landed in.

"One very terrified guy that want's to try to beat your ass." Yeua choked out with the blade trembleing in his grip. They laughed at him.

"Ha ha, look boy's entertainment before the meal." The one in the center said taking one step forwards with his dagger.

Yeua's blade really got going once he managed to block the dagger from cutting directlin into his neck. The guy winced as the flames singed the hairs on his knuckles. Yeua pushed sending the guy stumbling back. The other two joined in lunging both of their daggers at Yeua. He ducked and rolled taking his blade, which was harmless to him, into his chest and norrowly escaping, by the shirt on his back, from being gutted by two men. As he finished the roll he unfolded and brought the back of the blade around his side sweeping the legs out from under the two men. When he finished the turn a wet feeling grew just below the knee. He looked and the dagger of the first guy just flew into his flesh and drew his blood. He looked forwards at the man who threw it. Yeua shook his head and sent a forcefull blast of arching flames from the swing of his blade that lifted the man off his feet and sent him into the street with singes all over his body and running for his mommy. The others followed.

"What the hell was that?" Yeua just asked himself. "I've never done anything like that before. I'm not that good. I sure hope that they don't have any friends. Also I really got stabbed there." He whinned not evne really paying any attention to the pain as he removed the short dagger and examining a not too deep cut. Nothing to worry about, just hope that Satsuki doesn't notice or she'll give him hell.

"You're a bit childish for a savior." The girl behind him said as she came around him. "Thank you anyways, I'm very gratful."

Yeua's spirit lightened up as another drive kicked in. "Just how greatful are you?" He asked with his own ubnoxious and dirty intentions.

"Enough for this." He recieved a small hug around the neck.

She then rused off but not without Yeua getting a good look. "Man, baby got back." He paused. "Did I just say that out loud?"

[Makurayami]

Omrie looked around the bar. There were a few men that were giving him odd looks. 'Drunk locals...' Omrie thought to himself. He looked up to the bartender. "Hey, give me another beer."

"You already had one. Aren't you a little young?"

"I'm old enough to be a fighter. Now give me a beer."

"What-ever.." The bartender slid Omrie another beer. Omrie took a big drink. Suddenly one of the drunks got up and walked over to Omrie.

"You say you a fighter, boy..." Omrie glanced at the man but took no attention. Suddenly the man swung his fist hitting Omrie's beer. It fell to the floor and spilled.

"Now your mine." Omrie was to his feet quicker then lightning. Quickly his fist lashed out and hit the man square in the nose. The man grasped his nose. Omrie drove another fist into the man's gut with even more speed then the last blow. The man fell to the ground.

Suddenly almost all the men in the bar were on their feet. Omrie took off his coat and threw it on the table. "This is going to be a long night..."

[bogger3k]

"Yahoo, rumble!" Yeua shouted as he started to randomly pound away as a riot broke out inside and around the bar in which he had just been in a while before. For some reason something told him the beginning of the fight had something to do with one of his friends.

Yeau shoved and fought his way through until he found Satsuki. He turned his back to her and began to watch it, she did the same for him. Almost back to back they fought the drunks.

"You know it was stupid to just go running off like that." Satsuki said.

"I had to do it. There is no other way to explain it." Yeua replied. "It's nice to know that you where worried about me."

"Hmph."

"OK. So do you know where Omrie is in all this? If we can find him we could probably escape together." Nope, he wasn't acting like himself at all.

[Makurayami]

Omrie lashed out and hit another man in the nose. He then jumped back as the man tried to hit him. Another man grabbed him and put him in a nelson. Another man tried to punch him in the face, but Omrie moved his head. The man hit the other man and Omrie was released. He punched the man in the gut and smashed his elbow into the other man's face. Omrie didn't even know who he was hitting anymore. He could feel himself slippping into his battle rage. And he let himself.

[Akieen Cloud]

Satsuki saw a man fly into the air from Omrie and sighed, she had had enoough. SHe picked up a man and threw him through a window and walked back to the bar where she lifted the pole and slamed it down, all activity stopped.
"ALRIGHT! THATS ENOUGH!"
She grabbed Omrie who was breathing heavily and Yeua who was blinking at her and dragged them out of the bar droppign money on the table for the drinks and damage. SHe let go of Yeua and pulled OMrie with her around a corner.
"Look, you need to learn to control your-self, you could have killed someone in there."
"I don't care."
"Obviously."
"Look, I don't want your sympathy."
Satsuki reached back and slapped him across the face leaving a red hand print, her face was anger it-self.
"I have NO pity for you. But I AM your feind Omrie, don't push me away like I'm luggage."
She sighed and turned to walk away wondering if he was going to call her back or say anything.

[bogger3k]

Yeua was almost shocked. He had seen that Satsuki could be rough but this went over his expectations. She just slapped Omrie. Yeua couldn't help but want to say something. He didn't know what but that strange thing that's been kicking in recently carried him along this as well.

"You might as well just open up to her." Yeua spoke softly. "It's better now then later anyways. For some reason girls like her don't like to be pushed away from people and they seem to push back and get right in your face. I only suggest this because opening up to her tends to make her like you more. I know because I've done that exact thing. I told her something I wished to keep private." Yeua paused for a second. "Wow I can't believe that just came out of my mouth. I had no idea that I had that kind of wisdom. Anyways bud, it's for you to decide. In the mean time the place where the scouts were spotted is just outside of this town. We need to leave now otherwise spend the night, which I don't want to do." Yeua ran after Satsuki. "Hey wait up!"

Omrie followed.

[Makurayami]

'Great. So Yuea and Satsuki have a "conection" and I'm the odd man out. This team is seriously bullshit,' Omrie thought silently. He was seriously starting to get fed up with this team.

"A bunch of freaking wusses I got here. 'Could of killed somebody.' That's war. No one fights just to see who wins and who loses. You fight till the end." Omrie looked up to see Yuea and Satsuki staring at him. "Shit, I didn't just say that out loud...."

[Akieen Cloud]

Satsuki loked at Omrie hurt, she looked at the ground and her feet.
"Bull huh? Is that what it is? You think you could do better with out me here?"
She looked at Yeua and frowned back at Omrie.
"Fine, I won't help you, either one of you. I tried beng nice Omrie, but I geuss kindness won't do the job will it?"
She looked back at Yeua and sighed. This was what she was afraid of, the team, the family, falling apart. She looked back at Omrie and closed her eyes but still saw him.
"All I want is to help you, you were going into a rage, and I'm sorry but I do not have the money to bail a member of this team from jail on murder. Thats all...don't think for a second that you can just treat me like garbage and throw me to the side Omrie. I won't stand for it!"
Tears were now lineing her eyes.
"My birth parents did that to me and I will not let it happen to me again, you don't want me here go back and find a new team to trouble."
She walked by him holding her head high, tears falling quietly down her cheeks, she kept walking down the path not looking back.

[bogger3k]

Yeua just looked at Satsuki compelled to follow her, but he knew that probably wasn't a good idea. She needed time alone. The only problem was they needed to finish this mission and they were extreamly close to their targets. If they didn't move now it may become too late, but Yeua only had what just happened on his mind. Omrie's comments, Satsuki's outburst. It was taring at him. He felt sadness for Satsuki and only wished to share some of his own warmth and kindness like she did to him when she just listened to him. He also felt pitty for Omrie. Not for anything besides his total dissregard for others.

Yeua looked at Omrie and said the only thing he could holding back tears of his own, Satsuki's tears. "You realy are a heartless bastard Omrie. How could you say that? You must be one realy sad person to be able to do such a thing to someone who is trying to be your friend. Now I don't know what you are going to do, but I'm not going to let Satsuki wander off and get herself killed. I care too much about a friend to let that happen." Yeua followed the path Satsuki took, trying to stay a distance so she could have her space, not looking back.

It was now he realized he felt the same for Satsuki as he did for Jericho.

[Akieen Cloud]

Satsuki screamed and slmed the pole into a tree breaking it in half.
"Low life bastard!"
The sat down and put her fae in her knees.
"All I wanted from him was an once of the kindness I had given him back. Is that so much to ask?"
She punced the ground and winced as rocks made her knuckles bleed. She looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Am I meant to walk this earth alone, mission after mission? Every time I go on one of these damn thing my team perishes and I am the only one that comes back, People started calling me death and the Grim Reaper. I don't want to lose them, Yeua...Omrie..."
A vision of Yeua swam into her eyes and she smiled slightly.
"He's so arrogant, and foolish, but, he's the only one...that...that never flinches when I touch him, they both don't. I dunno if they know my nickname in that school or just choose to ignore it. Which ever it is...Yeua..."
She held her fist to her chest and wipped away her tears. She stood and retreived the pole.
"I should go and apologize for running off like that...Omrie..."
She headed back the way she came walking straight at the hidden Yeua.

[Makurayami]

"Son of a bitch. This is all I need." Omrie stood in the middle of the path. Yuea's words were running through his mind.

"You really are a heartless bastard Omrie."

'I guess I am a heartless bastard...' he thought to silently to himself. While at the school he had never had any friends so he had buried himself into his training. Obviously he had buried his emotions as well.

Omrie looked towards the path that lead to their objective. The other path that Yuea and Satsuki had went down. Without looking back he began to run down the path towards the enemy, away from his team. Within a few minutes any trace of him dissapeared and he dissappeared in the distance.

[bogger3k]

"Where are you going?" Yeau called out making Satsuki flinch. She looked at him with very sorry and seductive eyes. Ones that just pleaded for you to forgive her.

"Yeua? I..." She tried to reply.

"Hey I know what you said and I realized that you wanted to be left alone. At least for a little while. Anyways considering that I decided to hide from a distance and slowly keep up, that way I could be sure that nothing would happen to you. I may not watch what I say but I am a good friend. If your going to be mad and yell at me to leave you alone and that you don't need my protection then go right ahead and do it. I don't mind. By the way I noticed that you have wounded your knuckles there." Yeua took a step forward. He fell again. This time it wasn't clumsyness. This was his stab wound, it had reopened, deeper than before.

[Akieen Cloud]

Satsuki gasped.
"Yeua! Are you alright?"
She fell to her knees beside him.
"You should have told me you have that I would have stiched it for you, you should have told me..."
She blinked as he put his hand on her cheek.
"Yeua..."
Tears filled her eyes and she buried her face in his chest.
"Why? Why do you care after you heard what I said?"
She gripped his shirt and sobbed.
"Why? What is it that make you do this? Pity?"
Yeua lifted her chin to look at him.
"No pity Satsuki, friendship. That's all."
Satsuki smiled and nodded, she began to lift his shirt and look at the wound on his side.
"That isn't to bad but I need to clean it..."
She ripped her shirt slightly and held it to his side to stop the bleeding.
"Let's get back to camp and get this cleaned and stiched up."
He nodded and she put her shoulder under his arm and helped him up and walk back to the camp.

[bogger3k]

"You know something I don't understand is why people always tend to rip their own clothing to wrap up a wound." Yeua mentioned out of the blue. He was hoping that it would help banish the small fit that she threw earlier. "How come you don't tare my clothing? It's already ruined."

"Not sure." Satsuki replied. "I guess it's just more convenient."

"Remind me that at the next town we enter that I'm going to buy you some new clothing. You know, as payment."

"For what?"

"For your kindness. You've been too good to both me and Omrie." Maybe the erong words. He really shouldn't be mentioning him anyways. Of coarse it wouldn't surprise him that Omrie had already moved towards the scouts.

The stitches did hurt a little bit but the smile that Satsuki had numbed that pain. Yeua had been right about one thing, Omrie wasn't here. He wanted to reach for the gem and thought that it may seem weird to Satsuki. Well dispite hat he pulled it out anyways. He found that after he got it out he sort of wanted her to see it and to ask about it.

[Makurayami]

Omrie crouched in a tree. It was a fairly big tree and he had quite a lot of room to manuver in. Silently he slipped out some arrows and pulled a vile out off his jacket and poured a few drops onto each arrow. Odds were that the scouts would have were-beasts and this poison would definitly do the trick.

He used about half the bottle. He had five arrows that had poison tips. Quietly he sat and waited for the scouts. About an half and hour later he heard rustling in the bushes. Quickly he knocked an arrow. Three were-beasts emerged and they were followed by four scouts, each one clad in black cloth with a black cloth hiding thier face. They all seemed like handlers. 'That explains the were-beast. It must have gotten free from these guys.'

Omrie aimed and let his arrow fly. It hit a were-beast in the neck and he fell down, the poison taking effect. The handlers looked around baffled by the sudden attack. By the time they were able to draw their small swords Omrie had used his other four arrows to bring down the other two were-beasts. The spys spotted Omrie and lept with unhuman speed into the tree. Omri leeped out of the tree, knocking an arrow in midair. He shot it as he landed. The spy batted it away and Omrie knocked another arrow. But before Omrie could shoot it the spy held up his hand.

Omrie was suddenly encased in a glass orb that had a yellowish tinge to it. He had heard about these. Impossible to break without magic. "Damn, I'm screwed.." Omrie muttered. The spy walked over to him and laughed. He rambled something in the wierd languauge of the Nine Army followed by a wicked laugh. Omrie had no idea what he said.

What he had said was "Now we got you. There are probably others following you. Fool, to confront us alone. Oh well, you may prove usefull to us yet..."

[bogger3k]

As Yeua looked into the stone he realized that he was seeing more images in it. This time it was a lot clearer and he reckonized the images easily. It was Omrie and he was fighting. He was shooting arrows into werebeasts and jumping out of a tree. Then a glass prison encased him. The spy's, he was sure of it, had him trapped. If this didn't seem so real he would just think his mind was playing tricks on him like the other night and with the ghost. Then again maybe it is all real. Maybe Jericho is dead. He couldn't think about that right now. His teammate, or who should have been, is in danger and Satsuki and him are the only ones that ca help him.

"What are you looking at with such a shocked expression?" Satsuki asked. She had noticed the jem in his hands.

"Satsuki, I know after what you said you are probably still mad at Omrie." Yeua said almost not wanting to continue. "But I hope that you will be able to put that aside for now and come with me to help him. He's in trouble and don't ask me how I know. I just do. So will you help me?" He just stared at her with forceful eyes waiting for a reply, and thinking about what he saw, what he's seen, what going to happen, and how pretty Satsuki is. How'd that get in there?

[Akieen Cloud]

Satsuki nodded and followed him to Omrie.
"No, thats a magic sheild and the only spell I know will never be strong enought to break that...Wait...Idea."
She pulled the pole from it's perch on her shoulders and put both hands on it chanting softly. the metal frosted over and she threw it with all her might till it reached the sheild and ice cicles flew from it piercign the sheild but leaving Omrie safe as he fell to the ground next to the poel that was standing straight in the ground.

[bogger3k]

As Satsuki released Omrie from his prison Yeua decided to use the element of surprise to take the iniative and attack these spies. As he did so hs sword blazed and he rushed towards one. He woulg have thought this had taken him off guard but his opponent's reflexes were unimaginable. He leapt and caught his blade with one of his own and flipped over Yeua. He tried to swing back and get him on the landing but he wasn't there. He was up in a tree and shot at his three poison darts that burnt in Yeua's flaming sword. "Satsuki I may need some help with these guys whenever you get a chance."

[Akieen Cloud]

Satsuki craked the whip meanicingly and advanced on the leader.
"Busy."
The word was monotone and cold. Satsuki was pissed. She whirled the whip around her head and brought it down gashing the hard packed earth.
"Bastard, you think I'll let you get away with that?"
The man laughed and grabbed an abandoned sword. Satsuki grabbed the pole and swund it roughly breaking the man and his sword in two.
"I warned him, Now anyone else?"
The rest stopped and stared at Satsuki.
"You have royally pissed me off. I'll let Yeua handle the rest While I tend to Omrie."

[Makurayami]

Omrie, being released fomr his prison, had ran to put some distance between himself and the battle. His arrows worked best when at a distance.

Yeua was fighting one. Carefully Omrie aimed and fired an arrow into his chest. The target moved and it hit him in the armpit. Yeua took the chance to finish him off. There were two more left, but they were weaker and Yeua could take care of them no problem.

Omrie turned around and came face to face with Satsuki, who still looked pissed off. Omrie looked back at her, betraying no emotion of any sort.

[bogger3k]

There where only two left and he had to finish them this time and if he did the mission would be complete and they could head back to base. He may even get to see Jericho again. Of coarse he also thought that he was fooling himself. Either way he caught the first one in the gut with a flaming stab but barely got beyond the fabric of his clothing before he rolled out of it. Yeua ducked a double team from behind and stood up to see them looking at him from several yards away. Yeua then drove the tip of his blade into the ground and stopped.

"What does that do?" One of them asked.

"I'm actually have no idea what this could possibly do." Yeua replied. Then and eruption from under the ground engulfed both of the spies. "Or it does that." Yeua brought he blade free of the ground to see the flames had gone out. His stab wound was hurting him again, but Satsuki did a good job of stiching him up. And she had been so gentle. He loved it. Then he saw the stare down, Satsuki and Omrie both looking at each other. Yeua wasn't sure what to do so he did what he did best. He tripped and fell flat on his face.

[Akieen Cloud]

Satsuki saw the move that Yeua had done but was to pissed at Omrie to care or laugh. Even though she wantd to. She deepened her froen and curled her lips into a snarl.
"Why?"
The word was cold at bit into the air like a knife.
"Why did you run off and endanger your-self as well as us?"
Omrie didn't speak whcih made her even more angry.
"You stand on your soap box and preach to the world about being judged when you jugde your-self so much it makes you a hypocriyte."
She got a reaction from this, Omrie frowned and pulled an arow from hissatchel and pionted it between Satsuki's eyes. Satsuki didn't even blink.
"Go ahead, shoot. Give a good reason to kick your ass Omrie."
He looked at her and she met his gaze with on of her own.
"I'm not backing down and I'm not leaving. I'm your freind. Not someone who's going to use you and then throw you away like a dog. I'm more trust wothy than that. ANd you know it."
She placed a hand on Omrie's bow and pushed it down away from her face.
"Let's go and find out where their staioning us. Than we'll rest."
She walked past Omrie and stopped looking back she looked at each boy in turn and felt her heart wrench. She was falling in to deep. She couldn't love them both, she couldn't care for them like she was beging to, every time she began to cae for someone they died. She couldn't let that happen to them, to Omrie or Yeua. She turned back around to hide the tears that were threatening to fall and continued walking.

[Makurayami]

Omrie slid his bow over his shoulder and put his arrow away. He had no idea why he had done that. For some reason his body had acted on his own. Omrie shook off the feeling and walked after Satsuki. She was right about one thing - they had to get back to the base. As he walked he suddenly lost control of his body again. It kept walking but Omrie didn't even try. The man who had cast the spell on him suddenly appeared in his mind. The man started talking, but this time Omrie understood him.

"HAHA...when I said I had a good use for you I meant it. Now I will find the location of the base and there is nothing you can do about it!"
