Tommy stood back up as Flint walked out. Kiya/Vadane ran to his side "Are you okay?" Tommy brushed himself off " Yeah I'm fine. But what's his problem? theres something funny going on, but since I have no proof I have no right to pry into his business." He turned to Kiya/Vadane "So, what are you exactly now? Are you like pocessing Kiya?" Kiya/Vadane shook her head quickly "Oh no. It's nothing that gothic. It's a symbiotic relationship. We are the same and are subject to each others emotions. That's why I kissed you." Tommy still not entriely sure "Okay, but when will you return to normal?" Kiya/Vandane smiled "Soon, once I'm sure that Mallokai is truly sealed we will return to the way we belong." This still confused Tommy a little. He also felt uneasy since she was kinda able to see Kiyas memories or was it that Kiya showed her or... He couldn't tell, it just made him uncomfortable. Kiya/Vadane began to walk back to the room when she turned "Well, aren't you going to come or am I sleeping alone." Tommy felt a sudden rush again and he thought to himself 'I sure hope that theres some of that potion left'. Lets face it, sleeping with a pocessed girl was a little strange, esspecially for Tommy who was only now getting use to the normal ones. He began to walk after her and tayed behind her and tried to keep his thoughts quiet as if he were afraid she would hear him, who knows maybe she can. They walked back into the room and Kiya/Vadane layed down on the bed and Tommy kinda stood there for a moment "Well are going to get into bed or are just going to stand there?" Tommy turned red again "Uhhh....Yeah. Here I come." He slowly got back into bed with his back to her, he was still a little embarassed. Kiya/Vadane coughed "Are you just going to sit with your back to me?" Tommy began feeling more embarassed, it sounded like Kiya, but it felt different for some reason, like someone was watching them. He slowly turned over and looked her in the face again "Uhhh.... Hi." That wall he could manage to say to her. She was still so beautiful and laying right in front of him, but he couldn't relaxed. It was at this time she reached out and put her hand on his face, she leaned in and kissed him "I love you." she said. Tommy, still feeling unsure, reached out and put his arms around her and pulled her close to him and began to run his hand up and down her back. He kissed her again and in the moment he did he felt at ease again. He was okay again "Kiya, I love you and I will stay by you forever." He pulled her body against his and kissed her again.

Tommy woke up and saw he was back in his room with Kiya sleeping ontop of him. He looked around and began to wonder if it was all a dream. He then reached back and felt the bandage and stitch on his back, he knew now that it wasn't a dream. He began to sit up and as he did Kiya woke up "What are you doing? You can't move around when your hurt." Tommy sat up straight "What happend to Striker? He was down there with me, with that twisted statue." She looked to him "He was unconsious but unharmed when I showed up. You, on the other hand, were very badly hurt, do I had to bring you back and treat you." Tommy pulled her in and kissed her again. He then got back to his feet despite Kiyas protests. He turned to her "Thank you for coming to my aid, but this isn't over yet. The statue isn't dead, I just disturbed it's medium. It's still very alive and very pissed off. Striker still needs us to help him before that thing takes control again. We have to help him." He reached his hand down to Kiya. She took his hand and he lifted her to her feet "I know if I left you here again you'd just follow me right." She smiled at him "Yep, that's right." Tommy smiled back at her "Okay then, we'll go together." Tommy leaned forward again and kissed her "Okay lets go help our friend." Kiyas face lit up again "Okay, here we come to save the day." They both went back to the staircase and began to decend to the lower level where Striker and the statue still lay.

Tommy was at a complete state of peace with himself as he held her in his arms. She began to fall asleep again and Tommy stayed cradling her in his arms. His mind was begining to clear as he became more comfortable. It was at this time that he realized the unspeakable darkness coming from outside. It was so pwerful it made his skin crawl, how could he have not sensed it earlier. His feelings and uncertainty must have thrown off his perception, it was coming from the inner shrine. Tommy steadily left tring not to wake Kiya, who he knew was to weak to fight. He slowly took outside the room and into the hall where he began to run toward the source of the darkness. He found and opening and a stair case leading down, he jumped, not walked jumped, down the stairs. As he reached the bottom he came upon a truly gruesome sight. One of the shrine maidens laid dying from a gash to the stomach and Striker stood with her blood covering his hands. He was reaching for a large dragon statue, this statue was the source of the dark presense. It was calling, he could feel it's evil extending itself to Striker. He saw Striker reach the blood stained hand of his to the horrible statue. Tommy dove at Striker, using a leg sweep to knock him off his feet. As Striker fell Tommy could feel the dark spirit of the statue fill with anger. As it did he noticed that Striker began to fill with the same anger, Striker kicked back up to his feet. Tommy turned quickly to face Striker as to intercept the vicous strke from his blade. Striker eyes were glazed and empty, he was not himself. He had been consumed by the evil of the statue, Tommy had to snap him out of it. Tommy reached behind himself and pulled out one of his clawed gloves. Striker charged again, this time Tommy caught it with his claws. Tommy tried to plead with the entranced Striker, but it was like he was dead to the world. His eyes burned with a fury that was not his own, striker was gone from the equation, he was probably on the inside looking out. Tommy needed to bring him out of it, even if he was an asshole sometimes, he was still his ally. Tommy dove under one of Strikers left swinging strikes and used his fist to quickly jab him in the gut throwing Striker off balance. He took this off moment to move in and grab hold of his head and drive his knee into his face. Stiker fell back for a moment, but was quickly back up. His nose was obviously broken, but he simply reached into his nostrils and snapped the cartiledge back into place. He was not acting on his own, his power and drive was coming from the statue. Tommy knew what he had to do, it was more than obvious. Tommy began to circle Striker by hoping his stance. As he did Striker followed him and kept himself facing Tommy. Finally Tommy dove to Striker who moved to the right and slasked Tommy across the back. Tommy undeterd kept charging right for the statue. As soon as Striker realized this he charged after Tommy again, but Tommy was to far ahead. Tommy drew his long claws and brought them down spliting a mark across the face of the statue.

Tommy hesitated a little bit still finally feeling comfortable like this "Uhh, sure. I suppose your right, we shouldn't let her work be for nothing." He reached down and took the potion in his hand. The two of them looked at it for a moment and Tommy took the first drink, he then handed it to Kiya who took a drink herself. He suddenly felt warm inside, it was like all the fear that was in his heart fled out with the rush of water bursting from a dam. He felt himself drawing Kiya closer to him and he felt her holding his waist even tighter. He felt his lips meet hers a gain and then he began to lose himself in the heat of the passion. He felt her warmth on his body, he could hear her heart beat, she was so close.

Anno sat with Auska at there table when yet another woman walked into the retaurant. She had black hair and a slender figure with a clear complection. She carried a large Wan-dou and stood very proud. She walked to the back of the restaurant. Anno watched her as she did so. Auska looked at him looking at her "Do you recognize her?" Anno without looking at her "No. I'm just wondering why she decded to eat alone." As he said this he rose to his feet and walked over to her. As he approached she looked up at him for a second then looked back down "IF your looking for a date then I'm not interested." Anno brought his hands up "Oh no. It's nothing like that. I just wanted to know why you were eating alone?" She looked at him with a strange look for a moment "Because I want to!" Anno grabed her hand "Nonsense, noone likes to be alone." He began dragging her over to where he and Auska were sitting. Auska stood up "What are you doing? You can't just drag a stranger where you want." Anno looked over to her "Your right!" he turned to the girl he had grasped around the wrist in a death grip she couldn't seem to shake free of "Hello. My name is Anno Nekori and this is Auska. What's your name?" She looked up at him with that same odd look, which Auska was now giving him as well.

Tommy settled back down into the bed and Kiya put her arms around him again. He could only think about the potion that the maid Machika had made for them and why she did. Did she know about there situation? this thought only made him more uneasy. He could feel Kiya's breath on his neck and he could only think of her. He couldn't clear his mind, she was so close. His mind was lost in his feelings, but he had never know emotion like this, how was he suppose to act? He began to think on the potion 'was this the reason she gave it to us? was it so we could feel at peace together?' It was all that made sense. He wanted to turn around and hold her like she held him, but he was unsure. What if he ended up getting her hurt? he had alot of people who hated him for what he had done as part of his job. What if being close to him put her in danger? He was happy, sad and scared all at once, he wasn't sure how to handle this problem. He reached out to the bottle on the table and grabbed hold of it. As he did he felt Kiyas' grip on his waist tighten "I'm all right if you are." Tommy felt his hand tremble 'was this really the right way? Or was it better to allow his own feelings to out weight his insecurity' his insecurities began to stack on top of each other like books. He felt himself sway with the growing stack. Finally, like a real stack of books, they all toppled down. He rolled over to face Kiya and put his arms around her "I don't need the potion to be alright with this." He leaned forward and kissed her. He was completely at peace in this moment his thoughts were only on her.

Kyle began to feel uneasy as well, he had just downed two more SAF mechs. The first sniper he encounterd must have been a scout. Kyle thought to himself 'If only I had acted sooner they wouldn't have recieved our location' but it was to late to worry about what he could have done, he needed to worry about what he could still do. HE rushed toward Sean to meet with him, they needed to stick together to survive. He rushed his way there when he had a off feeling. He stopped immediately as a rifle shot landed right in front of him. The shot came from the right, he turned and looked to see nothing, it was obviously camo. He ran to the left and ducked behind the debris and quickly activated his own camo. He quickly ran clear of the debris as the sniper open fire on it and ripped through the chunks of concrete. Kyle watched for vapor trails from such a high caliber weapon. He activated his thermal radar to detect this stream. He picked up a faint trail, He moved slowly creaped up, allowing Zeke to guide him. He finally reached strike point, the enemy saw through his camoflage at that point. Within a fraction of a second he drew his beam saber and sliced the mech in half. He looked down at the disabled unit for a second then activated his camo again and made his way to Sean. He brought the comm system back up "Sean, are you out there still. I know were having a problem, but we have to hold out. I'm enroute to your location. When I get there we'll......" Kyle hesitated for the moment "Begin evacuation of the territory. We have to get the women and children out first." Kyle felt a bitter taste in his mouth, of all things, why did the territory have to be lost on his term.

James could see Jory standing in front of him, but he wasn't able to move. He couldn't even speak, every touch made him shudder. James sat in a sense of failure, she was going to put herself in danger for him. The woman set her hands on the mark on his back and began sinking nails into his skin. James found his strength to scream, it felt like his body was melting, everything from his skin to his bones to his organs. He couldn't move and he couldn't make it stop. He could feel something in his mouth, his teeth were growing, changing. Jory stepped forward "Stop it. Leave him alone you crazy bitch." James felt so helpless and worthless, he had to have stand up for him, when this was his problem to deal with. He felt her hand on his shoulder, then he felt a surge of energy flood his entire body. He felt his body move and was suddenly far up in the sky, engulfed in a black crucifix. He looked down as the two of them began to talk to each other again, but he couldn't make out what they were saying. He hung high in the air and suddenly was over come with same pain he had known when her nails pierced his skin. It was like the crucifix was choking him. He couldn't move and slowly he began to feel his mind slipping from him again. He could hear a dark echoing voice in his head again. Something was wrong, his distrato was beginging to manifest itself into his physical being.

Kyle took his place in side Israfel and sat in wait for anymore commotion. He knew it was only a matter of time before they struck again. His men were counting on him to make sure that the civilians remained safe. All he could here was statci on the radio, which only made him more nervous. He sat and listend, all the while Zeke kept him up to date on the sonar and infared scans. For the longest time there was nothing, he thought that maybe they really had decided to call it a night. It was as he was ready to leave his post the sonar picked up a slight click, it was barely audible, but it was there. He stood at attention, but didn't move his mech in the hopes that who ever was up there would think he had already left. He picked up the radio and sent out a call, hoping one of his men were still in there mechs. "This is Kyle Endow calling out. There is an unidentified target within the perimeter, does anyone read?" He listend for a moment waiting for a return. Quickly following was a reply "Hello sir.... this is Sean Ecori. Where is the targets estimated location." It was the kid, he was a hard worker and was the best result Kyle could have hoped for. "It's location is T-13. That's the last sound we picked up, judging by this it hasn't gone far. I'll destract it and I want you to pick it up with your sonar. When you pin point his location, take him out hard and fast." Kyle quickly switched his mechinto gear and the systems came online "Now sean, we have to do this carefully, we can't afford any causalties. I feel like I can trust you. Let's do it." Kyle engaged his active camo and disappeared. In that instant a sniper shot rang out. Fortunatly Kyle was well out of the way when the shot struck the point. He quickly activated and shut down his camo drawing the targets attention "Sean, It's all up to you now."

Tommy lifted Kiya on to his back and walked toward the door. He craked it open and looked out to see if there was anyone out there. Seeing that the coast was clear, he stepped out into the hall moving with all the stealth of an assasin. He crept to the garden where he knew Striker and Bleach were resting. He peeked out into the garden to see nothing out of the ordinary, but the air still had a cold chill to it, something still wasn't right. Tommy looked back to Kiya "Theres something here, but the reason we can't find it is because it's already found us. Tommy turned to his left and pulled a small pouch free from his pocket. He threw it to the ground and with a loud bang and a brilliant flash, the room was aluminated. Tommy saw a silhouette for a moment before it disappeared into the night. Tommy tried to run after it, but with Kiya with him and still hurt he couldn't risk it. As long as it was gone, it was alright. The room quickly filled with all the others wanting to know what had happend. Valencia was the first to step forward "What are you doing out here?" Tommy turned to her and Kiya peered out over his shoulder "I saw someone loose in the shrine. He was following me and Kiya. He probably wanted to attack the one who was already injured."

Sure thing, thoughit does sound strange. I am ahuge fan of S-cry-ed and have been watching it long before it came to cartoon network. I liked S-cry-ED because I love the characters. that has always been my thing. Kazuma is the coolest anime character, i don't care what anybody says. I love alter power, there is no pwer cooler thatn alter power. I know it's not much but if you need more PM me.

Out of the shadow stepped something he hadn't expected "Your..... your not suppose to be here." The figure before him wasn't a monster, but a slender young woman, she had light brown hair and pale white skin. Her eyes were as blue as the sea. She wore a silk black dress and walked so lightly it couldn't be heard. As she drew closer it was as if the world around him silent around him. James could feel his body grow cold again. She walked up to him abd wraped her arms around his waist "Soon they will all be dead and then you and I will be one." James didn't know how to react to this. He expected a monster and was presented with anything but. He tried to move but he simply fell to his knees before her. She had him entranced in her whiles "I have sent the clones of your friends to meet them. Soon they will be purged from this world by there own evil." She reached down and began to stroke the mark on his back. As she did James could feel the mark shudder, it was as if it was crying for her. James was over come with the same emotion. He was filled with a strange kind of fear he had never experienced. He neeeded help and he tried to call out to someone, but he couldn't find the words. He could feel his reasoning draining from his body, gradually his mind was lost to the darkness. She simply smiled at him "Yes, that's it. You are finally accepting it." James was filled with a terror beyond explanation. 'Someone, anyone please come heere quick or else something horrble is going to happen' james though this over and over again as if hoping someone would hear his thoughts. Then there was a flash of light....

Tommy laid gittering, Kiya hand her arms around him. He tried to keep himself focused, thinking that the sorceress or another like her might attack in the night. Last time Kiya got hurt, he wouldn't allow anyone to get hurt again. He tried to stay focused, tring to hear everything in the shrine. He was as quiet as could be, listening for movement. But all he could hear was Kiyas' heart beat, she was so close to him. he just wanted to hold on to her, but he knew his job, he had to protect her, he wouldn't fail again. He could hear Striker and Bleach, who had obviously decided to stay in the garden. Though he tried he couldn't hear Flint or anyone else. he had a hard time clearing his mind for obvious reasons. He wasn't complaining, he did like the fact that he could be so close to her, but he knew the greatest favor he could give her would be to protect her, to do his job for once. He failed her in the forest when the whorls got her, he failed her when that shapeshifter attacked, he would do anything to protect her. A midst the sounds of the trees he could hear breathing, someone was up there. He wanted to move, this might be another attacker. But as long as they stayed out there he didn't want to disturb Kiya. He could hear her sleeping soundly, he decided to move. He gently moved his pillow under her arm and slowly slid his own body out of the way. He managed to make it without her moving. He creat quietly to the small window and looked out to the tree to see who was there. He looked outside and saw nothing, he felt a great relief, like a weight being lifted from his chest. Then he heard foot steps in the hall, they were faint but there. He slid silently to the door and looked into the hall. He looked up and down, again he saw nothing, this time it disturbed him more then comforted. He couldn't shake the feeling something was watdhing him. He looked back to Kiya, he wanted to go out and look through the shrine, but he wouldn't leave Kiya alone. He decided the best place he could be was by her side. He slowly slid into bed next to her, he turned and kissed her check "I love you and I will never allow any one to hurt you again." He rolled back over and laid still, staying watch for her.

Tommy felt butterflies in his stomach, he was going to share a room with Kiya. But at the moment he had to worry about the mission ahead of them. He walked to the back and saw Strker and Bleach still knocking that prisoner around. Tommy smirked and shouted out "Hey, dumbass. Leave that punk alone, we got things to talk about." He waved the two over and they approached him still in a bit of a daze from the chaos of yesterday. Striker stepped forward "Yeah, what do we need to talk about?" Tommy looked at the two of them "When we got attacked yesterday I realized that we have some security issues we need to address. Valencia has told me our attacker was the Soreceress Iobi, as I'm sure you noticed she's a shapeshifter. We need to develope a way to identify each other without relying on sight alone." Striker and Bleach looked at each other"Well.... what do we do?" Tommy sqinced for a moment "That I'm not sure of yet. Listen I'm staying with Kiya tonight, the only idea I can think of is to travel in groups. Noone goes anywhere alone. Cornelia and Flint will be together and you and Striker need to stick together." Tommy turned to leave, when he stopped and turned to them again "Speaking of which, where are you guys sleeping tonight." The two of them shrugged at him. Tommy sighed "Whatever, just keep track of each other." Tommy turned and walked back into the shrine. As he reenterd he saw Cornelia talking to Flint, hopefully he'll be okay now. Tommy walked back to the room where Kiya was lying in bed. Tommy smiled to her "Good to see your resting up." She smiled back. And as happy as Tommy was to see her he couldn't stop worring about that soreceress. He knew he would have to stay up and look after Kiya, she was to injured to protect herself. Tommy walked up to her and sat next to Kiya "Guess...uh...were gonna be roomies tonight."

After he was sure Kiya had dozed off Tommy left to try and find Flint. He left and headed toward the garden and found him standing under the three statues again. Things appeared normal this time, no repeat of yesterday. He walked up to Flint casually "Well I thought you'd be happy to know that Kiya is doing just fine and should be back up to speed in about two days." Flint stood unresponsive. Tommy looked down and sighed before looking back up to Flint "YOu know, if you have problems you shouldn't keep them to yourself. At least tell Kiya, she's really worried that theres something wrong. i promise i won't pry, but you should at least talk to her." Tommy turned to make his way back into the temple. As he enterd the temple he saw the Soreceress Valencia and he quickly made his way to her. HE reached her and went down to one knee "I'm sorry. I failed to protect Kiya last night from injury, I'll take whatever punishment you see fit."

Casey couldn't get over the horrible taste in his mouth from that..... what ever the hell it was. But he sure did feel better, with that he glanced and nodded back to Dusk. It was only moments later that there friend arrived, larged, fanged and ugly as hell. Casey turned his head to Dusk "Looks like this is it." They both braced themselves and watched the hollow for it's first move. Casey noticed the Hollows leg twitch "Quick attack now." Casey charged in low swinging and knocking the Hollows leg and it fell to one knee. Dusk quickly capitalized and moved in for the kill shot to the head. With one powerful swing the Hollow let out a blood currdling scream and died. Casey took on a wierd look "Well that was easy." He said as Dusk suddenly looked more concerned. Casey turned to her "What." She turned to him "This was a distraction to keep us from the others." Casey nodded and they ran back up the sandy hill and began to speed off for Ayumus' place. Hollows generally aren't that smart, but it seemed to be to much to be a coincidence.

So all he really has going for him is his personality which needs some work. He's not a bad guy, he just's has a hard time adjusting. He recently moved to a new school and is having a hard time coping with his new surroundings. He's pretty happy though since he happens to be in a class with quite a few lovly young ladies. He lives with his cousin and he feels kinda bad for muching off her. they both used to live with his Aunt and Uncle, but they were less then nurturing. They were neglected quiet a bit. Even when he was very young he was fored to look out for himself, since his cousin couldn't always be there for him. One day his cousin had a huge falling out with her parents and she took Shun and herself away from that house.They live on there own and she works and insists he go to school so he can get a good job and support both of them. To spite his harsh up bringing, he is very optimistic, even if he is a little shy. Lately he gets the feeling that there are more to the girls in his class then meets the eye and he want to know what. He has a facination with the martial arts and is on the Kendo and Karate teams at school and loves to practice and sparr. occ: PM me for questions or changes.

Anno blushed "Ohh this thing. No it's just for show. I really don't care for violence. I'm really quiet a coward." He said with a smile across his face. She looked at him and chuckled again "So why such a big sword?" He just laughed "I figure the bigger the sword the less likely I am that someone will come pick a fight with me." He said as he laughed. Asuka suddenly found herself laughing as well, like his laugh was contagious. He just kept smiling and he looked to her back "So your and archer. That seems very lady like."

Tommys' eyes cracked open and he felt something soft. He looked up and saw Kiya sleeping next to him and he was on her lap. He suddenly felt uncomfortable, but at the same time he wished she wouldn't wake up. To him, this moment was pure bliss. He could feel her breathing on his neck and did his best to keep himself calm. Finally he heard her move and looked up at her. She gave her usual smile "How did you sleep?" Tommy looked at her, his face turning red "I was fine." He began to sit up and looked back to her "I'm sorry I fell asleep like that." He said stumbling, still a little embarassed. She looked at him and giggled "It's okay. Your kind of cute when your asleep." Tommy couldn't hold it to himself, he began to turn violet with embarassment. She giggled again and tried to stand and grunted in pain. Tommy quickly jumped back toward her "you shouldn't move yet. Your still badly hurt." She looked at Tommy and smiled again "You were the one who wraped my wounds." He looked down to the bag "Well, I am trained in field medicine so I had to help. After all, if I had acted sooner you wouldn't have gotten hurt." Tommy looked up and scanned the room "Where did Flint go?" She looked over the room as well "I don't know. He was gone when I woke up the first time." Tommy sat and thought it strange for him to just leave without saying anything, but he must have had alot on his mind. He turned his attention back to Kiya "Here let me see your wounds. I need to make sure the dressings are staying on properly."

James laid helpless in the back of the AT, totally drained of all strength. The medic officers stuck needles into his skin pumping him with blood. He was still endowed with the vision of the creature urging him on to the school. His answers were so close, how could he just be sitting here. If the others got there first they might be killed. We still don't know what it is so we don't know what it can do. He laid there on his back lost in the swirling sounds of howls, medical equipment, guns, engines, and the screams he heard in his head from the fallen eatters. And beneath it all the soft voice of the creature calling to him. He couldn't take it anymore. Finally he felt his strength returning to him. He was filling with blood and could finally see clearly and move again. He began to climb up to his feet as the medics urged him to not move. He couldn't be detoured anymore, he was going to get the bottom of things and end it once and for all. He jumped out of the AT and ran after the others still hearing the heavy gunfire from the large turrents on the moblie attack units. He gave chase on foot, hoping to catch the slow moving vehicles as they moved through the croawd of eatters. As he moved he found stragelers, eatters who escaped the hail of gunfire. James stopped to destroy each one of them as he moved through the carnage. He came up on the carrier, he could see it in the distance. He ran with all his strength to catch up with the carrier which was now gaining speed. He couldn't allow them to get there first. As he ran, starting to fall behind he felt a chill. He looked around for the source of this dark energy that made him shake almost uncontrollably. It was more than obvious what this was, but where was it? He couldn't see it but he knew the creature was there. He turned looking in every direction, then he finally turned and saw a dark alley and a silhouette. The figure slowly moved forward and began to speak "I've waited for this moment for such a long time. Soon your friends will meet there end and you and I will be together as we should be." The voice said in it's soothing tone, as if trying to lead James into weakness. The figure drew ever closer "See how happy we can be together." James couldn't bring himself to stop smiling, this was so calming and ...... something else. The figure drew closer to the light, moving so lightly the foot steps couln't be heard. Finally the creature started to come into the light. James leaned in antiscipation of the event, what are you?

As Kiya fell Tommy quickly went dowwn with her to catch her before she hit the ground, Flint then rushed over. Tommy picked her up and ran her back inside the Shrine. He laid he down and began to take off he clothes to treat her wounds, She was bleeding from the abdomin and ebrations all over her arms and legs. Tommy turned to Flint "Run back and get my bag." Flint ran off and was back in seconds. Tommy reached in the bag and puled out a stitch and needles. He looked down at Kiya and began to stitch the wounds on her body and pouring septic to stop the bleeding. Finally the bleeding stopped and she was sleeping soundly, but she had lost alot of blood. Tommy didn't know what to do, he wasn't sure of her blood type so he couldn't help her at all, so he and Flint sat next to her all night waiting and praying for her to wake soon.

Suddenly a small tea cup landed in the near Anno and Auska, who were still laughing. Anno turned to look to see where it had come from and saw three people at the table, another young woman, a man now standing to leave, and another man who was still seated. Anno paid little mind to the man leaving and bent over and picked up the tea cup and causually walked over "I believe you lost this." he said with his usual smile plasterd across his face. The two at the table looked at him oddly as if they couldn't believe he had botherd to bring back this tea cup they had just thrown. The young woman snikerd a little and Anno set the cup on the table bowed and returned to the table with Auska. He quickly finished his food and stood up "Can I get some sake?" He yelled out to the waitress who smiled and nodded. She returned shortly after with two cups and a jug of sake. Anno then turned to Auska "Care to join me in a drink?" He asked still smiling.

Dante ran up to James and began to drag him off to the back, so he wouldn't sustain further injury. James was low on blood and barely consious. All he could tell was that Jory and Kyle had finally arrived. He was Fading fast and as he did he began to hear things. Echos, he could hear the other eatters trying to talk to him. They tried to talk him into coming to them so they might take his power, though they had no negotiation skills. Then he saw the shadow standing in the back staring at hm on the ground. It was far away, but he knew it was looking at him. It was right there, the creature was right there, all his answers were right there. He tried to get the others attention, but they couldn't see it. It was so close he could almost reach it. Without a word it cocked it's head toward the school and disappeared in the flames. James was driven by a new force, he had to get his answers from the creature, no matter what.

Tommy saw her again and sought his chance. He jumped forward and swung hi Wan-dou and hi the maroon wolf off of Kiya, who then hopped up off her feet and stood next to Tommy. the maroon wolf let out a loud howl and ran off into the darkness. The shadow began to fade and the dark presense in the area began to disipate. Just as things seemed to be returning to normal a voice rang out "This is where it begins." Then it went silent. noone was sure where the voice came from, Tommy was just glad it was gone. He looked and saw Flint was still in a daze. Tommy was unsure of what to do to help him. he was hesitant to act. He looked to Kiya "What do we do for Flint?" He said. It was then that Valencia stepped forward "I Know how to handle this!" she proclaimed. All the others could do was sit back and watch as Valencia tried to bring Flint back to consiousness.

Kyle stood proud, they had managed to hold the army off for the time being. But he knew that this was only a temporary victory. Soon they would be back and in greater force. Though he didn't like the idea of having to lean on them, he knew he may have to lead the gang into the rogues territory, but this was only to be there last resort. Til then he would allow his men to celebrate there victory even if it only lasted the night. Zeke came over the comm to him "So your enjoying this even though you know they'll be back soon enough." Kyle looked up to the top monitor "They deserve it. They fought in the name of the Angels, they get the right to enjoy themselves." Zeke sputterd "Pfftt.... Your such a softy. How did I end up with you." Kyle grinned and stepped out of his mech to address the gang "Fellas, tonight we celebrate to the glorious defeat of the SDF forces, who will never take the land of the Angels. We are the Angels of death and we are not afraid." The men on the ground cheered with a loud shout. Kyle looked down on his men as they ran celebrating. Booze and ladies were the medium of entertainment tonight. Kyle sat and as the leader plotted how they would manage there defense another day. He sat at the head of the party atop the foot of his mech and kept and up beat appearance. On that note, what was he going to do tomorrow when they return? They have been attacking all the gangs in the city. Not tha he cared about what was happening to them, he was only concerned about the fact that he couldn't hold them off alone forever. Which means he might have to rely on the others, agin only as a last resort. though it would hurt his pride, he had to look out for his gang and the families that lived in there territory. He was a kind and powerful leader so noone questioned his choices. He knew, though they would hate it, if he asked them they would leave the territory and go to the rogues with the families and members. He didn't want it to come to that, so he kept his mind focused and prepared to deploy. He listend to the radio as the other gangs slowed down as the SDF retreated. "So it seems that there returning to the city limits." Kyle said to himself. He could only think that soon they would be back. Until then he would spend a few more hours with his girl and enjoy the night, for in the morning new hardships would come the likes of which he had never experiencied in the threee years he had lead the Angels.
