Hana nodded her head and replied. "Right then shall we be off so as we can catch up later." Her voice was not as loud as usual but the tone was deffinately back to normal. Tao glanced at her for only a moment as she thought to herself.[I]This girls crazy... jumpin around and jabbering and then all somber and serious, what with her?[/I] "Hey about my seriousness back there..." Hana brought up as they walked at a quick pace. "Yeah, what about it?" Tao asked trying to sound as though she wasn't really curious. "In two days the moon will be full, its just that my more demon side is already starting to kick in. So if I seem weird to you that would be why." She stated happily. "Oh... alright." Tao thought to herself as they continued to walk and Hana spoke every now and then.

Xia heaved a sigh and looked over at the Crimson Knights, then back to the party shrugging her shoulders shook her head. "It's better than nothing... lets do it." She replied, a spark could be seen in her golden eyes. Xia tightened the grip on her staff and pulled a charm from her inventory, she smiled at Shadow and Loki as Kia snuck off. She stepped forward and callled out the charm. "The Moon!" Suddenly one of the Knights shouted that he couldn't move and the others turned in her direction. All they saw was Xia, thanks to Shadow and Loki going off in other directions to create more chaos. Four of the Knights charged Xia, and Xia simply smiled her odd smile, lifting her staff she cried out. [I]I can't believe we're really doing this.[/I] She thought to herself as she cast at the Crimson Knights.

Hana felt a pang of guilt as she watched Tao run off and she turned her back starring at the forest beyond. "Why would she?" Hana asked quielty. "She isn't very strong... she still is human after all." Sasuke stated pointing at Tao's disappearing figure. Hana tightened her hand into a fist and she could almost feel the claws that would be there in less than two days. "Can you catch up with InuYahsa and tell tham we'll be there after we retrieve something." Hana replied taking off in the direction Tao was headed. "Hana, wait!" Sasuke shouted after her. "Please Sasuke, you'll be fine they're near by... I'll see you soon." She answered over her shoulder as she ran. Tao wasn't used to runnning in human form and it was tiring, she slowed down for only a moment as she heard foot steps behind her. She turned quickly to find Hana standing only a few feet away, tears were streaming down her cheeks. "I'm sorry... I told you I'd help you and then I tried to leave. I promise I'll never do it again okay." Hana stated quietly, her smile coming back into form.

It wasn't long before the three of them found themselves back in the Feudal Era, and Hana sniffed out the direction of InuYasha and his friends. "Well here comes your final decsion Tao, I'm going to find InuYasha and travel with them. You may follow me, being as I did invite you and I would love your company or this is where our paths take their seperate ways and perhaps we'll see eachother another time, its your choice?" Hana said this with no specific tone to her voice, but Tao did not see her usual wide smile that Hana had had from the moment they met. Sasuke glanced back and forth at the two of them, a pause of silence fell between them, and he could hear InuYasha's group close by. "How was I supposed to know he'd run off, I thought he was looking for Kagome, that's why I was following you." He recognized the voice to be the wolf-girl from the earlier, and the folllowing to be Miroku's. "You know she has a point InuYasha, you should just listen to people once in a while, then maybe you won't sound so much like an indiot." "What'd you say Monk Boy!?" InuYasha's voice was loudest and could be heard the clearest. There was a loud crash followed by shouting,Sasuke flinched and looked back to Hana who was looking at Tao, who was starring at her feet. For the first time since they had met Hana finally seemed older than both of them.

Hana heavd a deep sigh and began to speak as her normal self. "I'm traveling with InuYasha's friends because I'm looking for the same mystical sword they are, because its causing problems, and my promise was to protect that world." She pointed a finger at Tao. "You're traveling with us because I envited you and you accepted... remember?" She moved her finger to Sasuke. "And he's traveling with them because they found him and he's curious about what the crap is going on. Everything staight now?" Hana finished smiling as usual. Tao and Sasuke just stood staring at Hana, not word coming from them. "Oh my, and I though she spooke quickly." Sasuke's mom stated pointing at Tao. Hana bowed slightly and her smile grew wider. "Actually I'm usually the one talking up a storm and asking all the questions and having a hyper active attitude, but its her turn today." She explained nodding her head over toward Tao. "Right well shouldn't you guys get going?" Sasukes mom asked after a long silent pause.

OOC: Sorry its been so long guys my computer is still in the shop and I haven't been able to get to one to post. So hopefully this on will go well. IC: Rayne told Lani that she would meet back up with them after her trip back to Paris. She had caught the first flight back to Paris and the closest Taxi to take her to her parents home. Her heart beat faster as they approached her parents street, images flew through her mind and she tried to focus but it wasn't working very well. The taxi rolled to a stop and Rayne payed the driver bidding him farewell. She stood outside only a moment before darting up the stairs into her parents home. She flung the door open and entered the house looking for anyone that should be there. "Mom... Dad!" She called out into the house, the lights were out and the feeling did not bode well for her. She slipped her slender hand into her cargo poket nd pulled one of her throwing daggers out just in case of attack. She walked silently along the lush carpet and held her breath as she entered each room with caution. She entered the kitchen to find a note addresses to one of the maids. '[I]Eclair, sorry we couldn't tell you in person, but we are going on an extened buisness trip to germany. Please feed Rayne's cat and you are welcome to take the week off while we're away. Enjoy your time and thany you Eclair. [/I] The note was signed, the Charalmones. Rayne took a deep breath and felt releived that her parents were just merely out of town. She walked up the stairs to her parents room and opened the door. At that moment she dropped the dagger in her hand and gasped as she covered her mouth. The sight in the room was what she thought to be unimaginable, until that moment. Blood covered everything from the carpet to the light fixtures, she could see her fathers body covering her mothers as though had tried to protect his fallen love in the very end. Their faces were twisted with the fear they felt in their dying moment, she felt her body begin to tremble as she slumped to the floor. She couldn't take her eyes off of her parents, even as her sight began to blur with tears. She flinched as the sound of foot falls entered the room. They continued until they were right behind her, and then she felt a presence she did not know. She could smell the fresh scent of roses, and turned slowly to find a man standing behind her. She crawled back a few feet and tried to speak but only tears came. Her heart felt as though it would leap from her chest, and her thoughts as well as her sight were blurred. The man was fairly tall, maybe 5'11, with auburn hair down to his midback pulled back in a loose ponytail, and tied with a black ribbon. His dark blue eyes almost matched his exquisite three peice suit which he wore. She felt a unique gentlness come from this man, [I]Who is he?[/I] She thought starring through tearful eyes. He knelt down infront of her and spoke softly. "I'm sorry you had to see this Rayne, I was hoping the police would have gotten here before you did." He spoke with a soft british accent and Rayne's heart skipped. His voice was so gentle and kind, and his eyes shown concern. "Who... who are-" Rayne's voice shook as she began to speak quietly. "Who am I? I am one of the buisnessmen that works with your father, I cam here to take him to the airport and accompany him on his trip but when I got here this is what I found. I am sorry Rayne." He paused a moment and his eyes met Rayne's. "I must be honest though I have been dying to meet you, the famous Rayne Charlamone young computer master, daughter of the popular french buisness family. My name is George, I live here in Paris now but I'm from London." He replied holdinghis hand out. Rayne had never met this man let alone hear of him, and yet she found herself in his arms crying before she realized what was happening. She couldn't speak, all she could do was cry, cry into the arms of this man who claimed to know her parents, and she found somthing absolutey irresitable aout him. George held the delicate french girl in his arms as she cried, her sobs were quiet but audible, an unseen smile crossed his face. The door downstairs opened and he could hear what he guessed to be the police coming up the stairs. They entered the room, and he pointed to the couple on the ground. Rayne glanced over at the bodies for a moment and left George to speak with the police. She walked over slowly taking in the sigh fully, more than before, then she saw it... her mothers fingers moved. "Mother!" Rayne shouted bending down and moving her fathers body with care. The police ran over to her. "Hey you can move him thats evid-... Oh my, hey this ones alive bring in the meds." He replied to one of the other officers. "Mother, I'm here It's alright you don't have to worry any more." She spoke soothingly to her terrified mother. Her mother lifted her hand and pointed in the direction of the door, and Rayne glanced over to see what she was pointing at but she saw were the police, George had gone downstairs. **************** Hours had gone by since Rayne had joined her mother at the hospital and she was exhausted from everything that had happened in the last week. She sat quietly next to her mother who was sleeping, every now and then she would wake to see if Rayne was still there. Durring the night Rayne awoke to the smell of freshly cut roses. [I]Just like earlier.[/I] She thought as she opened her eyes slowly, reaching for her glasses, she found them but as she picked them up a gentle hand took them from her. It was dark and Rayne couldn't make anything out, then she heard that smooth deep voice again. "Come now you don't need these, you know what I look like." His tone showed no hostility toward her as he spoke. Her body began to tremble as she listened to the englishman, she could hear him coming closer. She stood quickly and stepped back until she hit the wall. [I]Thats not good.[/I] She thought realizing she was cornered. George stepped closer, he could hear Rayne's breathing get faster, he smiled. "Whats wrong, I'm not going to hurt you, I just cam to see if you were alright." His voice was quiet, soothing almost. Rayne's felt herself calm as she listened, and realized the fresh scent of roses was him. "You have no need to fear me." He whispered, a chill ran down Rayne's spine. Then suddenly before she could speak his lips were pressed softly to hers and she lost all thought on the presant situation. The kiss went on for what seemed an eternity, Rayne couldn't move or think straight, roses is all that were on her mind. Abruptly the kiss stopped and found herself being strangled by a rope that was slung from the curtain behind her, though it was not tight enough to kill her, not yet. She opened her eyes to find George, his eyes narrowed and a wicked smile across his face. "You're..." But thats all she could manage to say. "I'm one of them, is that what you're trying to say? Well my dear Rayne, thats is precisley who I am. It's really a shame I have to dispose of you though, you really are quite beautiful, and I haven't had myself a descent french girl in quite sometime." He replied brushing Raynes cheek with his gentle hand. She kicked at him, but decided that wasn't a good idea as the rope tightened. She watched in horror as he walked over to her mothers bed, then pulled a small metal cord from his coat pocket. He swiftly placed the cord around Rayne's mothers neck and pulled tight, and as her own life slowly slipped Rayne watched as this man took her mothers life. The anger that had been building for so long, finally broke through as she pulled at the rope around her neck, releasing it from the curtan rod. She stood still catching her breath not even removing the rope fromher neck. "You... shouldn't... have done... that." She replied her voice slightly raspy. She ran forward only to make contact with the chair that George pushed in the way, she fell to the ground hitting her head against the tile and lost conciousness for only moments. When she came to she found that rope was gone along with George. She stood and looked to her now dead mother, tears formed and rolled down her cheeks. She found her glasses on the table and put them on, there was a crack in them. "I'll kill him for you mother, and father. Let him know... I already miss you." She replied leaving the room. *********** 14 hours later she was back in New Zealand, along with the others. OOC:Done! Yes! :animesigh

Hana was still cringing from the thought of eatting what Tao just found delicious. She shook her head and looked over at the giddy tiger, human girl walking next to her, her eyes looking at anything and everything. She smiled her usual wide smile and thought about the awsome friends she had made in the last day, and the fact that she was able to bring one to Tokyo with her was absolutely wonderful. She couldn't wait to see how she weould react to the trains. The three of them approached the train station, and Hana bought them all tickets.

OOC: For those of you who might be curious as to how Miss Relena's character Isha, knows so much it is because she works with me and asks for details when she is posting. So when it seems like she knows too much don't worry about it she gets the infomation drectly from me. :) Lanin glanced over at the door where young Luna was standing, a concerned look across her face. "Miss Lanin, can I get you somthing?" Luna's voice was soft. Lanin sat up and brushed the tears from her cheeks as she replied. "You need not worry about me child... this is the life that I was given when I became a goddess." Her voice had a saddness to it as she spoke. "I would not want to burden you with my problems dear one, thank you for your concern." "Yes miss Lanin." She replied as she began to close the door. Lanin spoke up again. "Luna... just Lanin please." "Yes...Lanin." ********** The next morning, breakfast sat at the table waiting for each member of the company. Lanin sat quietly speaking with another, as she waited for the others to awaken. The man sitting at the table looked to be elven but he also looked as though he should be sitting in his grave. What skin he had was shivled and white as death, his gnarled boney hands were adorned with beautiful rings and his eye gave off a glowing light.

OOoo FINAL FANTASY MY FAVORITE! :eek: Name: Selphie Age: 21 Personality: Happy, easy going, deticated, and loyal. Appearence: See attachment, she knows its the student uniform, but she really likes it, and thinks its cute. Weapon: Nanchaku

Lanin entered her darkly decored room and closed the door behind her. She heaved a sigh and walked over to the bed, sitting down on the edge 'he' usually slept on. "I know they can help me, they have to..." her voice trailed off into the darkness as a tear ran down her cheek. She placed her hand where he normally lay and she imagined his hand over hers, she looked up to find only the lonliness of the room as her company. "Just like before." The voice was male, but not Feanor's. It was only a memory reaching out to speak, the memory of another loved one lost to darkness. "I forgive you, for loving him. If he makes you happy then, he has my blessing, and I hope you get him back." The voice left her as quickly as it came, and her heart fell. "Don't leave me again..." She could feel more tears form. "Aranel will be saved, I will not let him suffer... not like Fingolfin." She laydown on his sid eof the bed and cried herself into a lonely sleep with no dreams. OOC: Lanin's crying can be heard softly through out the entire temple.

Hana ran into her bedroom and changed quickly, then came out holding a small flat object. She placed it on the counter and waved for Tao to come closer. She opened the laptop and turned on the screen, and the computer flickered to life. An image of a family covered the screen, Tao could see that Hana was in the picture. "Thats you, is this your family?" Tao asked touching the screen carefully. "Yes, this was earlier this year... before Grandpa died. See there he is, he's obviously the only one with cat ears. These are my parents, my uncle, he lived with my parents for a while, and this is..." Hana's face turned a shade of pink. "Well lets just say thats some one whos missing out on a great life with some one who loved him more than anything." She walked into the kitchen and pulled some food out of the freezer, then placed it in the microwave and pushed some buttons. "Thats who you were suppose to marry huh?" Tao asked looking over at Hana. "Yep, looks nice enough doesn't he?" OOC: Sorry everything has been so short but my computer with the Toshiba people getting fixed and it won't be fixed for another 2 weeks. So unfortuneatly this is what my posts are going to be like until I get my computer back, thanks for understanding. ;)

Hana, Tao, and Sasuke all crawled out of the well and exited the building to find themselves standing on the gounds of a shrine. "Is this your place?" Sasuke asked. Tao's eyes were wide with amazment as she took in the surroundings in every direction. "Nope, this is my neighbors, but of course that would be Kagome, which is why she doesn't mind that I'm always going down their well. My place is this way, lets go there first so that I can change into normal attire. Hana took Tao by the arm and led her toward the large apartment building. Tao gazed up at the colossal building before her as Hana led them in. "I live on the 27th floor, its a long ride in the elevator." Hana stated as they entered the building. Tao jumped when the elevator beeped and the metallic doors slid open. "Hey don't worry, this is what is going to take us to the top, well my floor at least." They stepped in and Hana pushed the button, and the elevator began to move up. They reached her floor ans tepped out into a long hall with many doors. The walked to number 2710 and hana unlocked it and opened the door. Tao ran toward the large window, and took inthe sight of everything. OOC: I'll add more later, but I have to go now. Sorry its so short I'm running on a tight shcedule and my computer is in the shop. :animeswea

Xia and the others waited only moments before Kia was ready to go, and the four of them gated to the decided location. The each euiped the swimsuits that Xia had provided. Xia's bikini shimmered an irodescent color under the artifical sun, and she looked over to the river a smile crossing her face. Then without speaking she bloted over to the water and leapt in, stil holding her staff. OOC: Sorry its so short, I'm real short on time. :animeswea

Rayne's body shook with fear, as it usually did in situations such as this. She watched the terrifying creature approch the intalian and Sakura's wolf attack, but what she remebers most is Keria's wicked smile. She walked over to Renee in all the confusion and slapped her hoping it would bring her back to reality, luky for her it did. She was joined by Lani in explaining that the creepy lady was a bad idea. '[I]Now that was the type of pain I've been looking for... I'll have to show it to you.'[/I] She heard Keria's smooth voice in her mind and she shuddered. Rayne shut her eyes tightly to covered her ears, tears streemed down her cheeks. Lani watched as Rayne did this, she understood what was happening, at least she hoped she did. [I]'Leave me be, please? All I want is to go home and be with Phantom and type. Maybe it will all go away, if I can just wake up, this all has to be just a nightmare.' [/I] She thought to herself as she felt her knees buckle beneath her and she fell to the ground. She opened her eyes to find everyone else unconsious and the collectors closing in on her. Her heart beat quickly and her breathing increased, she could feel her self sliping out of conciousness, and she tried to hold on to it. [I]'No not now, someone help me please.'[/I] Once again found her eyes shut and she waited for the impending doom that was coming. [I]'Am I really this pathetic?'[/I] She thought picturing herself. She opened her eyes again never to shut them in fear again. She glanced around at the real situation, Renee was over with Dave helping Dimitri, Sakura was unconcious and she had lost track of Lani, Alex and Alexia. She forced herself to stand, pain shooting through her body as she did, and she finally reached the knife in her shoulder and pulled at it releasing it. She held it before her and took aim at the Death Flower. She could see the streams of energy leaving her but Rayne refused to allow that stop her from trying, and she threw the knife as hard as her muscles would allow. She watchedthrough blurry vision as one of the collectors darted infront of the knife catching it in their hand. **************** Rayne awoke with a start, her shoulder ached and she was dripping with sweat. She couldn't remember anything after the knife she threw accept for falling to her knees again, and hearing someone call out her name, or so she thougt. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and headed for the door, and as she did she could feel that something was wrong, with her, or at least her tattoos, it just didn't feel right. OOC: Sorry its so short I don't have much time. :animeswea

Xia scratched her head a moment as she looked over the plans, mumbling to herslef as she did. "Well maybe we could... no that wouldn't work, or perhaps if we... that wouldn't do it either." She stopped and looked up at Shadow and Loki, who were both starring at her eyebrows risen. "I don't think we can do this, but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to try. I mean we're already in trouble and you know what they say... If you're gonna get weet you mine as well go swimming." She paused a shocked look ran across her face and she pointed to a spot on the map. "Why didn't I think of that before?" She asked herself. "What, what did you think of?" Shadow asked quickly. "Swimming... here see there is a river that enters into their dungeons. We can go in through there." Xia explained a glinting smile on her face. "Whats that look for?" Loki wonered outloud. Xia ran across the room nearly tripping over Kia who was still resting on the pile of pillows. She opened a box and began to dig, moments later she appeared with items of clothing her hand. "I've had these Items forever and I've just been waiting for a reason to use them." She replied happily holding up to female bathing suits and two pairrs of swim trunks.

"Thats exactly what I was about to say I'sha, thank you for doing it for me." She then pointed over to some staris near by. "Your rooms for the evening are all up stairs, if you will excuse me I'm going to retire to my room. If you need me my room is on the top floor, infact its the only room on the top floor. Good night, and sleep well you all have a very long journey ahead of you." She said this and head straight for the stairs.

Hana lead Tao and Sasuke in the correct direction, along the way running into InuYasha and his gang. "Oh decided to Join us after all huh? To afraid to be on your own." InuYasha replied tunring at the scent of the three as they came into the clearing. His eyes turned to Tao immediately, taking in the fact that it was her turn to be human. "No thats not it at all." Hana smiled adjusting her backpack. "I have to go to Tokyo today to restock, Sasuke has to get some things and explain everything to his mom, and Tao's human today so she decide to come." Hana relplied then noticed they had one more person withthem than before. She sniffed a moment to herself and stated clearly, "Wolf clan." Kana perked up and glanced at the newcomers. "Thats right... and you smell of cat, but you don't appear to be a demon." She seemed slightly confused. "Thats becasue my grandfather was a half/demon and so I've got the left over blood from him and dad. But hey you know what they say, be happy with what little you've got. By the way my names Hana, whats yours?" She asked holding her hand out to Kana.

Rayne's heart stopped as she looked to find Keria smiling that malicious smile of hers. She stood akwardly, grasping the same knife as before she could that it was glowing a dull red almost as if it knew what was coming. "Hiya, Rayne my dear... miss me!" She leapt forwad thrusting her knife at Rayne, but this time Rayne was alert, still fightened out of her mind... but alert. She rolled to the left and pulled a throwing dagger from her right cargo pocket. She felt the kanji on her hand pulse as she prepared to throw the dagger. "Not this time." She replied quietly almost to herself. Rayne and Keria circled eachother slowly, they ignored all those in the surrounding area, only seeing eachother. A nefarious glint lit up Keria's eyes as she ran forward to meet Rayne who was waiting patiently for her attacker. Rayne waited for Keria to make the first move and the moment she did, Rayne released the dagger. It flew swiftly and hit Keria in the left thigh, she staggered a moment, but kept her feet. Rayne again moved out of the line of the blades attack but not enough, she felt the cold metal bite into the back of her shoulder. Rayne gasped, she would not Keria have the pleasure of hearing her scream. She tried to run, but Keria had already put her other hand around Raynes waist holding her close as to keep her from running. "Come now... that wasn't very nice Rayne. Why would you do that?" She whispered softly in Raynes ear. Keria drove the knife slightly deeper into Raynes back, and Rayne grit her teeth. She thought hard on the situation and on what the chief had been speaking about only minutes ago. Her heart beat faster and her mind tried to focus, then as before she felt Keria pushed away by a large physical force. She turned quickly to find Keria on the ground, a large panther on top of her, awaiting Raynes command. Rayne wanted nothing more than to kill the girl herself but knew she couldn't, so she simply nodded her head afimatively and the panther turned its emerald eyes to its prey. Rayne turned away from the scene, and clapped her hands over her ears as not to hear the screams of pain coming from Keria. She lifted her hands from her ears moments later when she felt the soft feline rub up against her arm. She looked deep into the panthers eyes, and a gentle voice could be heard in her mind. "It's over she won't harm you ever again." Rayne wrapped her arms around Noir, she could feel the realness of the cat. Her toned muscles, her breathing, and most of all the soft fur. She sat quietly, dissmising Noir to return to her place of sleep. She felt the tinge of pain as reality came back to her, the dagger was still in her shoulder, she tried to reach it to pull it out but could not.

Hana's eyes widened in awe and she smiled widely, then looked to Sasuke who was starting to stir. She nugged him with her hand to fully wake him up. "Huh? what is it?" He asked in a scratchy morning tone. Hana jumped up and starting packing her things. "We're going to Tokyo today, Tao and I that is... do you wanna come, or do you wanna catch up with InuYasha and the others." She asked excitiedly. Sasuke looked over at Tao who was confusingly completely human. He blinked and rubbed his eyes, then looked again... still human. "Whats going on where'd your ears go, and what happened to your hair?" He asked confusion all over his face. "It's my turn to be human today, you know every half demon has their day or night and today is mine, and Hana has offered to show me Tokyo. She figureed if you wanted to go back and resupply or somthing you could come to, but if you want we can drop you off with InuYasha and his gang of misfits?" She smiled a fangless smile.

Sunlight stremed through the window and glistened off of Rayne's hair. She had fallen asleep over her laptop, an article about tattoos still on the screen. 'I see you Rayne...' The voice was in her mind, and it woke her with a start. She awoke with a gasp and in the moment accidently shoved her laptop of the table. It fell to the floor with a crash follwed by Rayne swearing in french. She quietly spoke to herself as she knelt down to survey the damage, a hand met hers as she reached down. She looked up to find the young british man. "Hey you alright?" His voice was quiet and rough. Rayne smiled shyly. "It's nothing... I apologize for startling you all." She replied noticing that there were now four other people in the room. She could see Lani, and the two americans, Alex and Alexia. She stood slowly and placed the laptop on the tale again, she was trembling slightly. "Well it must have been quiet the startle for you, to wake you so suddenly." Lani stated from her table. "Was it Keria?" Dave spoke up. A terrified look crossed Raynes face. "How do you know that name?" Her voice shook as she spoke quietly. "We both know it... you talk in your sleep." Lani replied smiling. "Oh dear... " She removed her glasses for a moment. "What time is it?" "7:45." Alexia answered looking down at her watch. "You look exsauhsted, how late were you up?" She asked noticing the dark circles under Rayne's eyes. Raye thought a moment as she picked up her empty coffee cup. "I remember loking at the clock last around 6:30." She stated walking over to the caffee machine and filling her glass. "I apologize again for disturbing anyone." She sat dow at her computer and opened it to make sure everything was still in working order. Everyone else in the room simply watched a moment as the french girl sat typing away, it seemed as though nothing that had just happened had phased her. '[I]That was seriously emberacing, I can't believe this.[/I] ' She thought to herself. She shivered a moment as the image of Keria appeard in her mind, her yellow eyes, plale skin, and that sickening smile. She typed without speaking for almost ten minutes when she glanced over at Dave who had sat back down and began to play his gituar. She jumped again nearly falling out of seat when she heard the ring of her cell phone. She fumbled getting it out of her pocket and opened it. She carried a conversatin in french, which sounded much more natural for her. She was hung up the phone after only a minute and she turned it off. "Anything important?" Lani asked. "My mother wanted to know what kind of food my cat eats, shes watching him while I'm out of the country." Rayne replied still starring at her screen. "That was nice..." Dave added quietly. "I'm sorry, what was nice?" Rayne asked politely. "Your voice as you spoke your home language... your french is beautiful." dave paused a moment, Rayne had stopped typing and he could see her face turning a light shade of pink. "From a musicians point of view." He stated.

Kenshin (Kenshin)- He so fun loving and loyal, who wouldn't want a friend like that? Yahiko (Kenshin/Reflections)-Because he grew to be one of the coolest guys ever, and really handsome to. :) Zechs (Gundam Wing)- He could share my room any time, beside hes got the coolest Gundam, and we could uswe that to get araound. And then if you locked him up in the basement and stripped him of his powers I'd let Nakago live with me too... Nice to know you...(please don't ask to live with me) Serena (Sailor Moon)- She would be my friend but I just don't think I could live with her. Heero, or Wufie (Gundam Wing)- Heero because hes to angsty and he would always be threatening to kill me. And Wufie because hes no fun at all. Hitomi (Escaflowne)- She kinda annoys me to no end.

I'm in college now but back when I was in highschool it was actually really great. Allow me to fill you in on some of the crazy anime related things that happened to me. 1. My math/english teacher was obsessed with Ronin warriors and Dragonball Z, I'm sorry allow me to rephrase that, she was obsessed with Sage of the Halo, and Trunks. 2. She also loved Fushigi and Kenshin. 3. I draw anime everyday and one time she took my book away (pretending that I was in trouble), then momnet's later I heard "Rip ooo this is pretty!" I looked u[p from my work and she had torn a picture out of my book and claimed it for her own. 4. Her office on other hand, each wall was covered in printed anime pics. off the internet, pencil baords, posters, wallscrolls, and this last summer she hired me to paint a life size Sage, Trunks, Legolas(anime style), Obi-Wan(anime style), and Draco(anime style. I could go on all day on the crazy thinfgs I did in highschool that had to do with anime. Not to mention my first teacher aid job was to paint her Ronin figures so that they were the right colors. :animesmil

Rayne was extremely tired from all the traveling her and her new companions had all done. She shyly said goodnight as Lani closed the door behind her, leaving her alone in the cozy room. She looked about the room to see that it was indeed inviting, but she was still shaken from the previous events. She drew a warm bath, knowing that she wasn't going to be getting any sleep tonight. She slipped into the warmwater and flinched when the cut on her arm made contact with the water. She had been weaaring a jaket the whole time she was around the others so no one had seen the bandage on her arm covering the long deep gash she recieved from Keria. After her bath she attempted to go to sleep, the bed was indeed comfortable, but there was no way she could fall asleep she knew she needed to but there was just too much going on through her mind at the moment. She lay quetly for almost an hour before she finally got back up. She changed back into her clothes and glanced at the clock, 5:47, a chill ran down her spine. "This is rediculous, I'm getting something to drink." She replied grabbing her laptop, this she took everywhere with her. She left the cabin and found the common room, of course there was no one there aside from the tired looking overnight barkeep. She approached the bar and asked for a coffee. She then took her coffee and her laptop over to a small table next to the window. The view outside was dark and beautiful, she could see the moon glistening off the lakes surface. She shook her head and opened the laptop, she sipped her coffee as she conected to th web. She logged onto her personal search engine and typed in, Tattoo's, collectors, histroy of tattoos. The screen quickly filled with whatever information her computer could come up with. She sat quietly the rest of the night reading all the information she thought might be useful to her and the others.

"It's not really that important." Hana replied quietly. "No really, what was it?" Tao pushed. "Well... I was just wondering, maybe... one of theses times I have to go back, maybe you can, well come with me. You know... see tokyo and all. I mean if you don't want to I completely understand." Hana's voice was covered in nervousness. "Oh and about my engagement... don't worry about it. I'm slowly getting use to the fact that he's really gone and never coming back. Besides I don't need to think about him when I have such a great new friend." She replied, Tao could see her smiling in the dim fire light, it was the kindest most sincere smile she had ever seen when it came to someone speaking of her.

'You have every right to wonder why I left so suddenly. Welcome to my home, please allow me to explain over dinner." Lanin replied, she was standing in a doorway on the far side of the main room. The company entered the room to find a long darkwood table, each place was accompanied by a plate filled with food. "I believe you'll find your favorite dish somewhere on the table. Please sit, it has been a long day for you all. Oh and I'sha I must apologize for bringing you here sithout warning." She waited until everyone had sat down before she found herown seat at the head of the table. "I noticed Aranel is missing from his usual 'no more than five feet away position', I suspect that is why we are here." I'sha stated taking her seat near Lanin. "Most observant... as usual. She is correct, Aranel, my high priest, is missing. I need your help to get him back." Kaida looked over at Lanin, a confused look on her face, she was about to speak but was interupted by the dwarf. "First of all... who are you... exactly" Thorn asked quickly, his paitience thining down. "Oh haven't you figured it out yet... shes a goddess." Luna replied happily sitting next to Lanin. "The goddess of suffering and sacrifice to be exact." I'sha added kindly. "They speak the truth, I am the goddess Lanin, and I am in need of you." She stated picking up a glass of golden wine. "My high priest Aranel has been taken by Feanor, the man which apperaed earlier. He is a cruel man... twisted by power and greed." "Why can't you just go get him yourself if your a deity?" Tsuchi asked suddenly. "This man has the abilty to take me and use me for his own evil purposes, but if I stay here then I will be protected by the power of my own temple. If I leave he can take me... this is why I need your help. Are you interested, I promise you I will make it worht your while."
