Calil ducked back in and rolled behind a chair as the wall blew. Cursing she looked around and saw the others rushing in to see what was going on. Karyn and Draco had yet to leave and Karyn cursed as she stopped and saw the damage.
"Really? Are you serious?"
Calil ducked again as one of the demons weapons flew by her head and ducked back up yelling.
"What the hell did I ever do to you?!"
She felt frustation and anger well up inside of her and blinked as the flame came to life in her palms and cackled out a dry laugh. Throwing her hand out she engulfed the room in fire and stood ready to fight until she realized that the fire did nothing and was hit broad side by one of the demons weapons. Falling to the floor she felt blood seep from under her bangs to trickle down the side of her face.
"Great...now what..."

[chibi-master]

"Calil!" Karyn gasped. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the over-sized flaming demon's claws come scraping toward her. Karyn ducked and rolled right out the hole, now seeing the gigantic demon in full. "Uh! Uhm! G-get some water or something!(?)" Karyn shouted. Leaping out of the way of another flaming limb, Karyn glanced up at the demon. "You better have ears up there..." Karyn growled before letting out an ear-splitting howl. The demon writhed a bit before sending akick soaring toward Karyn. She tried to dodge again, but she was just a little too slow. The claws scraped her back as she was sent flying into the side of the hotel, near the hole where the wall used to be. Karyn struggled to lift herself back up, but her back was aching, seeing as the claws were also on fire like the rest of the demon. "D-dawner! Water spell; know one?!" Karyn called out.

All hail Drizzt for getting this RPG back up and runnin'!!!:catgirl:

[Draco]

(OoC: First and formost I am truly sorry for my absent presence. I'm have way too many problems with my laptop so I am using my parents desktop.)

Draco felt the swing of the flaming demon ripping through the house. Then he heard Karyn scream at Dawner to cast some sort of water spell. He felt hepless because he didnt have any special powers like Calil nor Karyn. He sure didnt have any magic thingy like Dawner.

Karyn asked for water so he got a towel and soaked it on water. Then he ran to her and pulled her out of the rubble.

"Here take the towel. Its soaked in water." Draco said handing her the wet towel.

"Thanks but you'll need alot more towels to cool him off." Karyn said pointing at the giant demon.

"I don't think towels will do anything. Is their a hydrent or a river around here?" Draco said looking around.

"Why do you need a hydrent for?" Karyn said dodging another swing.

"Hydrents are what humans use to combat fires. We can use it to combat him. We just need to find one and......." Draco was cut off by the flaming demons back hand slap sending Draco tumbling down the street and hitting the bank.

"Draco are you ok?" Karyn scream.

"I'll be fine just keep him occupied till I can find a hydrent!" Draco yelled as he searched for a red fire hydrent. If he couldnt fight it head on then a smart way would be better.

He justed hoped that their was one or at least a river.

(OoC: I'll try to post once every day or so. Also Draco is trying to make up for not being "super-natual".)

[Drizzt Do'urden]

Dean had been left alone to watch in horror as the wall of the house exploded. He was not given the luxury of seeing the scene inside, but he noticed the familiarity of the man cast out into the street at once.

"Draco? So that's what he looks like shaved." Dean tried chuckling at his own joke, but it seemed so much more like something Dawner or Karyn would say that he instead choked back tears of sadness.

---------------------------------------------------------

Gabriel stood on the roof of the building next to the one that housed the team. He saw Draco get cast aside, but wouldn't offer assistance as of yet. He was actually better off.

He watched as the battle ensued, it seemed the team grew stronger but their knowledge of demons was too limited. He'd kept a bead on Penbrookes energy signature, the man wouldn't like Gabriels presence and he was the one the team would trust.

Gabe let his sythes unfold and drop from his sleeve, another explosion rocked the house and it began rocking on its foundatoin. Too many more would collapse the house and likely kill at least one, and Calil was still inside.

Throwing his hands forward the sythes lept from his grasp and flew towards the demon. As they neared their target they split apart, each coming around the demons neck in a silent, deadly dance.

As the scythes created individual half circles around the demon's neck Gabe brought this hands back, summoning the scythes back to this grasp. As he did, the weapons sprung back catching the demons neck and almost instantly severing his head. The quickly muffled scream sounded like water escaping a burning log.

As the chains repositioned themself Gabe leaped from the building, landing infront of a surprised team. He didn't smile, though he found their smoke blackened features quite amusing. "Gather your things and meet me at one hour in the inn, its unlikely our enemy will strike in a public spot. For the hour is still young, and her strength not yet revealed upon the world."

Gabe didn't wait for another word, though a second glance at Calil to confirm she would be the one to break the seal and free Dean Remington, before leaping into the shadows and disappearing from sight.

***Check the backstage for a recap incase you haven't already.

[K.G]

Calil looked around the blown up building gathering what little things she had left from the rubble and stopped when a pouch was uncovered as she moved a piece of rubble. Frowning she picked it up and opened it seeing the bloodroot within, it pulsed and she gasped feeling as if her body had gone numb. She frowned more as what seemed like small movies began to play through her mind. She blinked as they cleared and scowled making a beeline for Penbrooke.
"You!"
"Calil, what's the matter?"
"Don't play dumb with me you son of a *****! You did something to me didn't you! Why is it I keep seeing a man named Dean?"
Everyone but Draco froze and looked at her, Dawner ran forward and put his hands on her shoulders.
"You remember?"
"Remember? Remember what exactly? I just keep seeing these flashes...him walking away from me...and it hurts but I can't figure out why..."
Dawner looked at the others and blinked as Penbrooke shook his head.
"She doesn't need to know. Just leave it and lets go."
Calil opened her mouth to respond but haulted in her argument at the look from Penbrooke.
"Don't ask about it Nekoi."
She didn't push it further but decided to ask Karyn or Dawner about it later on that evening. She was sure one of them would have an answer for her about it. Putting the last of her things in a small sack she threw it over her shoulder and waited for the others to gather their things together so they could move on to the Inn.

*I am SO happy we're getting this one moving again. I've missed this RP greatly. It just wasn't the same without you Dritz. We tried...we just couldn't bring our selves to go on without you.XD

[Ol' Fighter]

Yuin continued towards the valley desperately trying to surpress the energy now bursting out of him. He could think of nothing but this 'sister' of his that Siera spoke of. The feelings that he felt for those words were foreign to him and he could not understand them so he fiercely fought against the surge trying to retain himself.
"...why do I feel like this...? he said to himself as he landed on the desert floor. He had successfully surpressed the majority of the malevolent wave allowing him to move about somewhat freely, but still his every movement was labored and with great pain.
"...my....'sister'... what is that...? ...why do I feel this sensation...?" he continued to himself.
Summoning up what felt like the last of his strength he strained harshly to once again focus his eyes and channel what magic he had left to support himself as well as search for this 'sister' of his.
"...Yuin, you are stronger then I thought huh, but I don't think it will really matter in the end...." Siera's voice echoed inside the valley.
"...you will tell me where she is." Yuin demanded, but his order was met with the tattered claws of a rather huge pitch-black hand's grasp. It viciously began to crush his body threatening to destroy him. Yuin retaliated by bursting with the power he surpressed earlier tearing the the grotesque shadow-like claw a bit leaving him to fall to the ground as still as a rock. It seems the beast's surprise strike had broken all but a few bones in his body making movement useless.
"Look at you Yuin...your broken...and near powerless. What are you to do now?" Siera's voice echoed again, while at the same time the creature appeared before Yuin. It was as black as darkness itself and towered over 20 feet. Yuin tried to move, but couldn't. He was completly immobile so all he could count upon was what magical energy he had left. The creature wasted no time as it once again lashed out at Yuin with its giant claws. Yuin quickly formed a sheet of needles before him protecting him from the full force of the attack, but still launching him to the stone walls with a crash. Yuin strained again this time creating a sea of needles from thin air around himself and swifly he surronded himself with the tiny needles making a makeshift barrier that would at least allow him some protection. Again the beast struck this time lashing out with both its deadly claws gripping the needle enclosed Yuin and to his surprise the creature seemed to not be affected by the hundreds of tiny neeedles driving their way into its skin. It squeezed harder making Yuin strain even more to keep up the barrier.
"You'll die soon Yuin..." Siera's voice echoed lowly once again, but this statement was over turned as the beast groaned in pain as its hands burst into a shower of black blood upon Yuin.
"Why you clever boy..." she said appearing in front of him just as the beast's decapitated head crashed to the ground behind them followed by a clone of Yuin.
"You had enough for a clone I see" she said waving her hand at it making it vanish.
"...where...is she...?" Yuin said crashing to the ground as his barrier of needles dropped to the valley floor.
"Up ahead, but you only have a few more breathes of life Yuin. I don't think you'll make it...." she replied with a slight chuckle. Yuin pushed his limit once again to attempt an attack towards Siera, but was quickly stopped as a blade ran through his back.
"Hmm...poor Yuin. I always thought you were nothing special and this proves it." Siera said vanishing into the valley.
Yuin layed there pondering this 'sister' and what it meant. He felt nothing else but an attachment to the word.
"...sister...sister...sister...sis...ter...." he said to himself as he began to lose consciousness.

OoC: Glad this is back in action!

[chibi-master]

Karyn grabbed a bag and stuffed in it the pouch that held the wolfsbane she had acquired. She made her way through some of the rubble and into the open. She then trotted over to Calil and grabbed her arm. Leaning closer to Calil's head, Karyn whispered, "I'll tell you more about Dean later! But for now, the basis of what you need to know is that he is someone extremely important to you, and I was completely against Penbrooke taking your memories of him away. I would have stopped him if I'd been given the chance. I'm sorry." With that she stood waiting for the others to prepare for the trip.

OOC: Hey guys! Sorry for my absence, but you know how busy I've been... Anyway, darn you, Ol' Fighter for your long post that makes mine look like crap!

[Draco]

"This is weird. Strange things that can take out an entire build in one hit. People who have unnatural powers. Then theirs me....." Draco stopped mid-sentence.

Another flash back came into his head has he fell to the floor. Has he lost conscience he heard a familiar voice. A voice that sounding like he new it before. She called his name has he closed his eyes.

FLASH BACK!!!

"Here, take this box." He could hear his own voice. Then the familiar voice responded back but the face was blurred.

"Whats in the box Draco?" The familiar voice said.

"Promise me you won't open it till I come back." He said.

She looked at him in the eyes.

"I promise Draco. I will not open the box. Ok a promise for a promise. You have to come back fast." The familiar voice said.

"I promise." He said.

Then an explosion, after that blank.

(OoC: Hey Chibi,its your turn. Do a little skit after I pass out and you hear Draco talking about a box.)

[chibi-master]

"Draco?!" Karyn shouted as he fell to the ground.

"B-box... The box... Inside...," Draco mumbled in his unconcious state. Karyn took a step back from Draco and grabbed her bag. As well as the wolfsbane and its pouch, the bag contained the very box that Draco had told her so long ago not to open. She hadn't opened the box or even considered doing so, such was her faith in Draco. Karyn couldn't tell whether to feel anger at Draco's delayed return or elation that he was at least beginning to remember things. In truth, she felt both.

"Whoa, Draco!" Calil gasped, kneeling down to shake him by the shoulders. After a few shakes, he came to, though he seemed slightly confused. Looking up, he saw Karyn attempting to glare at him, though she failed because of the painfully sorrowful face she made instead. Her eyes tearing up, she turned sharply and managed to choke out,

"Draco, you liar! You didn't keep your promise!"

[Ol' Fighter]

Yuin was near death as he lay on the the valley floor as still as a stone. His breathing so soft it would appear as if he were dead. While in this state one thing was still burning in his mind and that being this 'sister' and its meaning. Yuin's body then began to move, well, his skin at least. It was as if insects were crawling from beneath his skin. This was followed by tiny holes forming all over his body and from them white vines covered in blood. Slowly the vines slithered from the holes like snakes from burrows until it seemed that the last of the crimson-white entaglement was out. The mass then began to glow an eerie white and pulsate becoming an cloud of sorts.

This was the rather unique ability that Yuin's body unleashes when death is most imminent from injuries. These vines are composed of 70% magical energy and 30% blood. They are in fact a living parasitic spell that is infused with Yuin's soul. Its purpose is to keep Yuin's physical body alive which is a bit abnormal for your average parasite, but this one in specific is of course no average bug. It instead of taking away something from its host it gives and what it gives is its magical power. It pumps it directly to Yuin's blood stream giving him quite an edge in battle due to excessive amounts of this energy. It needs a host to basically dump its own overwhelming amount of energy upon or it will die from it. This would overall seem to be a fare trade, but the host is usually destined to live a short life due to the amount of energy that is circulated constantly through the body as well as the soul. This price would come to Yuin in due time...

The cloud of vines was nothing more than a parasite looking for a new host and thanks to its unbelievable amount of raw magical energy it would be quite the match for just about anyone it came across and unfortunately it had already zeroed in on its next host... Calil.

Calil at the time was stuck in her thoughts still trying to piece everything together, but for some reason she felt increasingly tense. It was as if something was watching her she felt. Disregarding the sense she again clutched the bloodroot examining it carefully. As it pulsed the images appeared again this time a bit more distinct. She could almost feel as if everything was coming into her grasp in her mind, but was cut off as something white began to form before her. It was the parasite and it has its sights set on her. It manifested itself a few feet away from Calil. Its blood drenched vines swaying back in forth with hostility.
"What the hell...?" was all Calil was able to mutter out as the vines vanished right before her very eyes and began wrapping themselves around her body. Quickly she heated her body attemping to stop the vines advance, but found herself unable to move a muscle as a single vine appearing in front of her with an eye staring directly at her. At that moment her mind was ravaged by the parasite. It was quickly corrupting her mind and worse it was begining to control it.

Dawner could feel that something was not right in the air and what bothered him even more was that he specifically felt it from Calil's direction. Not trying to alarm the others he quietly slipped away towards Calil. As he approached her amongst the rubble he saw that she was sitting down.
"Calil...are you okay?" he said walking up from behind her.
"I'm fine." she replied rather harshly. Dawner sighed in relief at her tone and sat beside her.
"Does...this mean you remember?" he said softly. Calil said nothing to this as she stood up and walked off towards the desert.
"I guess she needs to be alone..." he thought to himself. Calil in fact was not alone. The creature that attacked her had infused itself inside her. It mimicked her without flaw and was now using her for its own purpose. Inside Calil's mind a battle was taking place that she was slowly losing.
"What the hell is this thing!?" Calil yelled. It was attacking Calil not only physically but mentally and because of Calil's memory loss and foreign body she was a most susceptible target. It was further disturbing the links she had with her mind and body. Calil was in a bit of a panic and found herself unable to fully focus. All she really could do was defend herself as the creature continued its relentless assault with its deadly bloodied white vines. She was close to her breaking point as she began to run through the darkening empty room. Her own thoughts or what was left of them screaming for her to fight, but she just couldn't. As the vines reached for Calil she nearly gave in as they wrapped around her, but her defeated thoughts left her when she heard a familiar chuckle from the vines. It was her sister's.
The creature it seems was now the spitting image of her. Calil could not beleive her eyes and again she wondered if this was that thing's trickery.
"This...a form your not scared of." her sister said to her. This continued to be a nuisance to her already tired mind.
"What...are you?" Calil struggled to say as her lips quivered a bit.
"No...you afraid...still...be not... I need your body...and mind...." her supposed sister whispered. She then floated towards Calil staring deeply into her eyes and slowly the hold on her mind was released. Calil was still a bit rattled, but was coming to her senses.
"My power...my magic...will be yours...you will help? A young human...must find...think later...or death will come...tell not...the other creatures...keep silent...demons want me...make haste...." it said now back in its vine-like cloud form awaiting an answer.

[K.G]

Calil blinked over and over again as she looked at the mass of vines before her, confused.
"I don't understand, help who? If I help someone I have to tell the others in the group...they could help too. I know they can."
The vines remained silent as she looked at them waiting for her own answers.
"I need answers of my own. I agree to help you, but before I do I need you to know this one thing. I trust my family with my life and I think you should trust them with yours. They can help and they can keep you and I both protected if you need it."
"Need...help...death awaits..."
"I get that but if you need it...ugh, fine, I'll help but afterwards we need a serious talk about your communication skills."
She began walking forward following the vines still talking her own nonsense as she waited for her own answers.

sorry its so short you guys, I'm suffering a sinus infection impacted wisdom teeth. I'll be checking in from time to time but not as constantly as I would like. Love you all! I will be around.

[Takuuya]

Dawner still watched Calil’s retreating figure, his mind clouded and confused.
Torn between right and wrong… on one hand He believe he could reverse whatever Penbrook did to Calil’s memory if he really tried, for being a strong psychic and a exceptional sorcerer it would’nt be too complicated but she he?

Calil, could barely function with Dean on her mind… It physically hurt Dawner to be around her… Due to his empathic powers (the only thing he’s fail to master) he could actually feel Calil’s pain.. the pain of a broken heard. Dawner even picked up on thoughts of suicide, though he knew Calil wouldn’t dare do it but the fact that she thought about it scared Dawner. Maybe the temporary removal of Dean from her mind can help her focus more…

“Damn it..” Dawner groaned and put his face in his hands. “I don’t know what to do…” He sigh and ran his fingers through his long red hair, “Dean I’m so lost without you… I’m really trying to pull this team together but, I’m just not you… where are you?”

Dawner sat up… “First things first, Hey guys lets head out…”, He called to the team, We don’t want to keep our new friend waiting…”

[Draco]

"Liar? I came back didn't I?" Draco said taking the box from her hand.

They all looked at him.

"Draco, did you get your memory back?" Dawner asked.

"I believe I have. So for 10 years I've been gone and you waited for me." Draco said to Dawner then to Karyn.

"Good, now we can go. Calil went off in that direction." Dawner said as he pointed.

"Ok, you guys go ahead. Karyn, I need to ask you something." Draco said looking at her.

"Ok Draco but don't take too long." Dawner said as everyone expect Karyn started to walk.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Karyn said with tears on her face.

Draco stood up and wipped them away. After that he neild infront of her with the box
in his hand.

"Karyn, I know theirs nothing I can do for making you wait soo long. If you never want to forgive me, I understand why." He said looking at the ground.

"Draco, I could never be mad at you. Just promise me that you'll never leave me again." She said looking at him.

"(he laughs a little) I promise you that no matter what happens. I'll never leave alone again.
But the only way I can see that happening is if I............" He said pulling the lid off the box.

Inside was a ring. The ring was simple yet some what unique.

"Karyn, will you let me be by your side untill we both die?" Draco said has she stood their with more tears streaming down her face.

"Karyn, please don't cry." He said looking at her.


(OoC: Sorry for the long pause in my post. I am doing this from an iPhone so it takes time.
I also want to apologize for it being short.)

[chibi-master]

Karyn managed managed to choke out, "I-! I'm not crying..." Draco smiled a bit more as Karyn scrubbed at her eyes. "And by the way, yes."

"Yes what?" Draco asked mischeiviously.

"Yes, I'll marry you! But only if you never leave me like that again!" Karyn sniffled. Draco stood up and hugged Karyn.

"I already promised!" he chuckled.

"Hey, what's keeping you guys?" Dawner asked, trotting up to them. "Oh, I see you made up!" Karyn held out her hand toward Dawner. "And you-! Uh! When-?! Wha?! Wow, that's great! Come one, we have to go tell Calil! And! Just wow! I mean! Whoa!" Dawner babbled with excitement. He dragged the two of them of to Calil. "CALIL! Come see this!" he shouted.

"What is it?" Calil asked cautiously. Karyn shyly showed her hand. It took a few moments for Calil to register what she was seeing, though she did so a bit less vocally then Dawner. "Oh, wow! When did this happen?!"

"About a minute ago?" Karyn mumbled with a smile, clutching onto Draco like he might fly off, should she let go. Lots of congratulations ensued, but was soon broken up by the looming reminder that Dean needed saving.

OOC: Okay, carry on! Sorry for the short post, by the way!:animeswea

[K.G]

Calil felt the blood root in her pouch pulse and the happy feeling she had felt a moment ago for her friends faded as she heard the voice in her head once again.
'Save him...he will die...please, save him...'
She clutched her head and fell onto her knees gritting her teeth as images flashed through her mind. Walking around the outside of the castle with a young man, feeling her heart race and seeing the blush flood his cheeks. Seeing him turn and walk away, seeing the sadness in his eyes as he told her goodbye. She opened her eyes to see Dawner kneeling by her looking worried.
"Cal, you okay? You kinda just fell over like something was hurting you."
She shook her head not giving him an answer, her eyes no longer held the light they had a few moments ago, her movements weren't as fluid or as relaxed and her aura seemed to have darkened. She turned slowly to Penbrooke as he ran up to them and pushed past the others til she was facing him and pulled her arm back slamming her fist into his face, the sickening crack of his nose breaking filled the air as he stumbled back, blood pouring from under his hands as he held them to his abused nose.
"Wha tu fuhk?!"
Her answer was deadpan, monotone and empty as she squared her shoulders and looked down on him, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it with the top of her thumb.
"If you ever mess with my mind again, I'll kill you my self."
With out another word she turned and walked in the direction the voice in her head was telling her to. She turned and pinned the rest of the group with a look telling them not to follow her as she took a drag off her cigarette and blowing the stream of white smoke out and turning walking away from them. Karyn looked up at Draco, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Is she okay? What's wrong with Calil?"
Dawner shook his head and turned on Penbrooke.
"Everything came back to her it seems. From now on I think it's safe to say you should keep your distance from out dear Calil."
Penbrooke stood up and clenched his fists.
"Like hell I will! I was there for her when you guys were off giving her the cold shoulder when she needed you the most and not giving a damn!"
Again a resounding crack filled the silence, this time from Karyn's fist.
"Don't you dare say we don't care! We all love Calil with everything we have! She's family and we would have done all we could for her if she would have let us!"
Penbrook stared up at them, his frown getting deeper the more he looked over them.
"Say what you want. But I was there in middle of the night while she screamed out for Dean. I was there holding her hair back as she would vomit up whatever bottles she drank at the bar, patching her up day in and day out as the poison got worse. Who is say Dean even still cares for her?! All these years and not even a word from the bastard? If he really cared about her he would have at least sent her something!"
Dunan put a hand on Dawner's shoulder as he made a move to hit the man again. When Dunan spoke his words left no room for further discussion on the topic.
"He loves her, no one here questions that. We all saw it for ourselves how much it hurt him to walk away from all of us, mostly her. We trust him with our lives, no he may not have sent us any word but we know that he has our best interest in mind. We've never questioned it before and we are not about to start now."
He turned and headed for the Inn that they were told to go to. Penbrooke spared a glance back towards the way Calil had gone and jumped slightly as Draco's voice growled at him.
"Don't even think about it."
Penbrooke followed the others, still holding his bloody nose. Calil walked for what she guessed was mere minutes though it felt like hours. She was on her third cigarette and was enjoying the numbness she was feeling in her fingers as she approached a small bramble of plants. Blinking lazily she stared down at the bloodied man at her feet and knelt down beside him. He was breathing but barely. Sighing she reached down and put her hands under his arms hoisting him off the hot sand and onto her back she walked back slowly through the heat waves as the rolled off the dunes til she found a small piece of what she supposed was building at one time, but the sand and worn it down to near nothing but a small source of shade from the murderous sun. Setting him down she felt his body for the wound and noted them in her mind as she pulled out her water skin and put it to the mans lips tilting his head back urging him to drink which he did slowly. She heaved another bored sigh til he cracked open his eyes and looked up at her slowly, not really focusing on her. She blinked and leaned forward to get a closer look at his face. She was curious and hadn't felt this much real emotion in years. She was intrigued and it felt odd. She opened her mouth and spoke, her voice sounding unused and strange to her own ears.
"Drink"
He turned his head and grunted as she turned it back to face her, his skin felt heated in her hand and she blinked as feeling flooded her hand making her jerk her hand back and his head hit the packed sand. He grunted in response to the abuse yanking her attention back to the task at hand. Taking the back of his head in her hand again she tilted his head forward and putting the lip of her water skin to his lips yet again and helped him drink. When his lips were no longer cracked and bleeding from lack of hydration she corked the top and lay his head down on the sand and looked him over.
"You lost?"
His answer was gruff and tired as he took the cigarette from between her fingers and took a weak drag from it.
"None of your damn business."
She felt a small smile tug at the corner of her mouth and squashed it quickly. Why? Why was she feeling things all of a sudden, the heat from his skin, the smile wanting to show itself...she was feeling...alive? She shook her head to clear her thoughts and used some of her water to clean his deeper wounds before leaning on the sand damaged wall and waiting as she lit up yet another cigarette. She leaned her head back as she rested her arm on her bent knee, he voiced a question between his labored breathing.
"What...are you...waiting on?"
"To hot to move."
The answer was short and simple. Leaving it at that she closed her eyes as she finished off her smoke and let a light sleep envelop her as she waited for it to cool down enough for her to move herself and the half dead man to the others to have Dawner look at him. She wasn't sure why she was helping a complete stranger but something was telling her she had to. Her dreams drifting back to Dean.

*Wipes the sweat from my forehead* Whew, got that done. Does this mean we're still in business with this? I really hope so. XP

[Ol' Fighter]

Yuin's first thought was to kill whomever this woman was as she approached. He was far too weak to allow anything to get so close to him, but stopped as he felt a familiar presence inside of her.
"You only...move when it benefits you..." Yuin said aloud. As he did so the mess of vines slowly phased from the woman's body.
"Oh...master...I bring her..." it said now in a somewhat human like form.
"A'drass...you act for yourself. What...is she?" he replied with a wince.
"The answer...master...she has power...I will give her..." A'drass said with some humor.
Yuin was still to weak to move but he managed to sit up and stare at the woman.
"Again...you only act when it benefits you. What is she?" Yuin demanded. A'drass floated towards the sleeping woman and cast a light veil around her.
"Master...you see now...she find your kin...this 'sister'." A'drass whispered. Yuin's eyes widened as he saw this.
"Master...you pledge service to her now. We act later..." he continued.
"Pledge to her...? For...trust A'drass?" Yuin labored to say.
"Yes master...but we no need. She is not enemy." it said floating towards him.
"Not our enemy...not an ally? I do not care." Yuin mumbled.
"Then I act. I take lead. You obey for time master." A'drass said in patronizing tone.
"...do as you wish. It would not benefit me to kill her or-".
"Master has honor. She saved the master...yes? We side with her. This woman...Calil is its name. We help her...she help us later.".
"We are agreed then. I shall accompany her for now..." Yuin snickered a bit.
"Yes master for now. Betray her not....is not good for us...and master?" A'drass said with a growl.
"What is it?".
"I do not...like talking...like idiot human. I borrow the master's voice." it said wrapping a vine around Yuin's body and extracting and assuming an identical form.
"Now master. We just have to win over this dear woman here. Later we will ask of her help...as much as it pains me the great A'drass to do so.".

As the sun finally began to wane Calil rose to her feet still a bit tired.
"Finally you rise." Yuin said harshly. Calil was shocked to see him on his feet after seeing the injuries on him.
"So your all fixed up now?" she said with a bit of sarcasm.
"There is much to explain human and little time. I talk later." Yuin replied.
"I think now is as good of time as any." Calil said while lighting a cigarette. Yuin stared at her blankly for a moment then slowly walked towards her until he was but a step away from her, threatening her personal space.
"What the hell are you doing you-".
"Do you have another?" Yuin said pointing at her cigarette. Calil casually handed him one all the while staring at him.
"Your quite the weirdo aren't you?" she said taking a drag.
"There is much for me to do and little time. I help you now and that is all." he mumbled while forming a ball of energy in his hands. Calil again stared at him and just shook her head.
"This is simple human Calil. I am Yuin. I serve you now. That is all".
"The hell you mean 'that is all'? Serve me for what?" she scowled a bit. Yuin ignored her and just began to walk. Calil was becoming increasingly agitated so with a sigh she followed.
"Weirdo is too light a word for him". she thought to herself.

[Draco]

(OoC: Sorry for my long absents people. It is rather dificult to type on the iPhone and I have managed to get on the house pc.)

Draco was looking at the weird guy who appereantly knows Calil. He didn't like this guy. The smell he gave off was stale and sour. He had an evil arua around him has well. He was greatfull he was able to get her a new body but he was also extremely pissed off that her tried to erase her memory of Dean.

Draco sat their looking at him. It looked like it was creeping him out because he kept looking over his shoulder at Draco.

"What are you looking at?" Penbrook said breaking the awkward silence.

"So you tried to erase Dean from her life. If you love her soo much that you'll do anything for her, I got a sugestion." Draco said still sitting while looking at Pen.

"And what would that be?" Pen said in a sarcastic way.

"I've know Calil and Dean since they saved me from my self a long time ago. We've fought together and bleed together. Laughed and cried together. Dean did what he did so that she would be spared. Even if it look like he would never come back...." Draco said standing up. "...he knew eventualy the team would be formed again. We all knew that but the question was when. Dean is part of this team in some form. For Calil, Dean is part of her. Thats why your mind wip didn't work. Thats why you must do what I tell you." Draco said walking past Pen.

"What does this have to do with me and Calil?" Pen said still sarcastic.

"Listen closely because next time, she will kill you." Draco said turning around and facing Pen. "I sugest you never mess with her again. Physically or mentally." Draco said peering into his eyes.

"I know Calil more than you and I won't listen to a no good freak." Pen said smart asslly.

"You shouldn't say that to him." Karyn said.

"If she can't kill you, I will. Your magic will not work on me and you are weak mind as well.
You have an evil intent for her. I can smell it. You want her so badly that your willing to do anything to remove Dean and implant you into her memory. The problem is that your not her soul mate. You'll never be because in life. Every soul has a counter soul that it tries to find. Dean has ad will always be her counter soul. No magic is able to break that bond and any attempt will end in failure. I am going to find her. Karyn." Draco said has he waved to Karyn while Pen just stood their puzled about how Draco knew.

"Yes Draco?" Karyn said cheerfull has ever.

"Toss me the water jugs. Its really hot out their and she'll need a drink." Draco said looking at Karyn.

"Sure thing." Karyn said while tossing the jugs. "But what about you?"

Draco catching the jugs. "I'll be fine. Getting to her is the hard part. it will be too hot for us to travel back so wait here till night. Remember Karyn, I will be back tonight no matter what." Draco said winking at Karyn.

"Well you better be back tonight. I won't wait another ten years!" Karyn said waving at Draco.

Draco waved back and started to walk off were Calil walked off to. He sniffed the air to find her sent.

"Hmm, even in her new body I can still catch a faint smell of the poison that pleagued her. Sand probally covered her footprents and the wind has blown her sent ways off but its only been a few hours. The closer I get to her the more potent the smell will be." Draco said looking off into the desert. "Calil, I need to find out what really happened while I was lost."

Draco headed off into the desert in search of Calil. Even if she didn't want help or not.

[Drizzt Do'urden]

The light flooding the room as the door opened made Dean cringe, they'd left him in a lonely darkness not knowing if his friends survived the attack or not. The waiting was killing him faster then the starvation, or dehydration.

The familiar demon captain entered the room, for the first few days in the chains Dean truly thought escape was a possiblity and had been watching the things movements. After seeing the power the apparent leader of this group had, Dean knew the only escape was going to be if god himself intervened....fat chance.

"Your friends have survived for the time being, it seems they have a new ally. I also want to show you this." With a wave of his hands the portal sprang to life, instead of a view at the mortal plane, Dean was given the view of an army of demons, all similar to the captain all stripping off their armor, their screams pierced the air.

"This is a kill squad, one thousand demons who the lady will unleash on your plane. They will possess a thousand humans from the city your friends are in. They will come at them like waves of black death, and every time the host body is killed they will just possess another. At least that was the plan...it seems your friends have an ally with the ability to actually kill demons...The lady will allow you to speak with one of your comrades through a portal like this one IF you tell us who their ally is? He weilds twin scythes coated with the compound written on that tomb."

The portal changed to a still shot of a man with large chains protruding from his wrists, the chains were leading in the direction of the demon from earlier. The mans face was only partially visible, but Dean felt he was somehow connected with that man...somehow he was destined to meet this man.

...........................................................................

Gabriel sat staring out the window at the group, he saw Calil walk off on her own. He could feel the demonic presence calling to Calil, he wanted to pursue her. But it wasn't his place... this team had to come together to save Dean, to save the world.

The remaining team wandered into the inn, Gabriel silently assessed all their abilities. They were strong, and could survive together, but they needed the knowledge Dean possessed to be able to kill the demons that would soon take them. Gabriels sycthes were currently the only true way to do it...and truthfully he didn't know anything.

"Okay guy, spill what you know." Karyn pointed a finger in a gruff wolflike growl that brought a smile to Gabriels face, "Yeah who the hell are you?" Dawner stood beside her, Gabe half expected him to point in the same fashion.

"I need all of you together, Calil has been summoned by a demonicc force I can't pinpoint. You must go to them, I fear they could be in danger...except for you. You're staying here" Gabe finished his statement pointing a finger at Pembrooke, the one that for some reason is trying to keep Calil from fully remembering Dean.

"If you want to save Dean, then go and find the others. I will find you when its time." Gabriel grabbed Pembrookes shoulder and sat him down as the others, most likely frustrated, set out in the direciton of Calil and Draco.

[K.G]

Calil opened her eyes to see the sun setting and sighed. Time to move. She nudged Yuin with the toe of her boot and rolled her eye as he looked up at her.
"Get up, we gotta go."
He nodded and followed her as she began to walk back towards the direction she had come from. It was than that she spotted Draco and stopped as he got closer to them.
"Whose this?"
She shook her head not really in the mood for explaining things, her mind was working furiously to unravel the mystery of why she was talking, why she was getting aggravated why she was showing any emotion at all when ever she spoke to Yuin. She had actually almost smiled! She closed her eyes as Draco circled the man looking him over.
"You smell weird."
Calil felt the startings of a mi grain and pinched the bridge of her nose closing her eyes when a thought occurred to her.
"Draco-"
Her tone was flat and held nothing.
"How did you find me?"
"The smell of poison still lingers on you, though not as much as before."
Calil let nothing show but inside she began to panic, she didn't want to go back to being that way, Penbrooke had told her that there was a chance of this happening, that the soul transfer would only solve the problem for a little while but than it would start happening again and she didn't like the prospect of switching bodies every year. Like switching cars. She nodded and looked at her arm noticing for the first time that her skin was paler than it had been a few days ago. She showed nothing as she put another cigarette in between her lips and lit it, than shoving her hands in her pockets she began to go back towards the hotel once again, this time Draco and Yuin both following her. She rolled her eyes as Draco began to send small questions Yuin's way every now and than and only grunt in thought as the other man answered. They reached the hotel just as everyone else was coming out of and and Calil had to blink as Dawner and Karyn ran up to her and began to check her over it was than that Dawner paused and looked into Calil's eyes.
"Calil...your scent..."
She clamped a hand over his mouth and glared at him, leaning in close she made it look like she was giving him a hug and whispered low enough that only he could hear.
"Come see me later. I know what your talking about. Just please keep it quiet."
Though the plea had been quiet and monotone she tried putting as much emotion into it as possible. Dawner looked up at her and nodded as she left Yuin to the mercy of the team and the curiosity of Karyn. Passing Gabriel she barely looked at him and Penbrooke before climbing the stairs and heading for her room. She stopped as Gabriel spoke.
"Are you not going to stay and hear what I have to say?"
"No, I don't care what you have to say. My only concern is finding Dean so I can get on with my life and he can leave me alone just like he did before. That's all."
She turned before either him or Penbrooke could see her face and slammed her door shut. Leaning against it she slid down til she was sitting on the floor and hugged her knees to her chest and blinked as she felt her pants become wet. Putting her hand to her cheek she felt the tears and for the first time in years didn't hold them back. Yuin had done something to her, he was making her feel, and just this once it felt good to cry about Dean leaving her. It had been hurting so much the last years and she had been unable to convey anything and now she was sitting her crying and she didn't hold it back as she stood and made her way to her bed and lay down, she had her head turned so she could look out at and sunset as the last rays of pink and purple faded from view.
"Please...I just want to know he's okay...No matter how hard I try to...I can't stop loving him and if I can just get some kind of sign that he's okay, that he's alive...I'll..."
She wasn't even sure what she would do. She shook her head and closed her eyes as a fresh wave of tears burst forth and she clutched the pillow tight.
"Dean...I love you. Please be okay."
She barely saw the very last ray of light slip behind the horizon before a light sleep took over her, her dreams filled with the old days and how things used to be.

Whoo Hoo! What did I tell you guys! I knew he'd be back! XD Long I know but I say lets get this thing rollin again!

[Takuuya]

OOC sorry for the short post, just trying to get back into the swing of things.

Gabriel looked dumbfounded still staring in the direction Calil went.

“You know what I think it’s best we get ourselves settle…” Dawner said called to Gabriel.

“How do you guys get things done with this… attitude that you’ll have time to do it later… as if tomorrow is promised to you.”

Dawner frowned, “Look, just give us some time to recuperate once Calil is done resting then you can brief us.” Dawner turned to Yuin and looked him over physically and noticed how beat up he looked.

Dawner placed a plate stacked with food in front Yuin, who raised An eyebrow at him.

“Hey, you don’t have to explain anything right now, I’m sure you’re here for a good reason but we don’t need to hear it just yet… So eat up and rest” Dawner smiled warmly. Dawner turned and started to walk but stop suddenly. He quickly reached out with his mind to Yuin this time checking him over magically and psychically.

“YOU DON’T BELONG HERE!” Dawner held his head slightly and gripped the bar table next to him. There seemed to be an foreign entity with Yuin…. Whatever it was it was very possessive of the man’s mind. Dawner made a mental note to inquire about this later.

‘First I must see to Calil…
