Welcome to Gaia! ::

Riyo was... A little wary when Atticus led her to the doors that would take them outside. "Can't we just... Eat here or something?"

Atticus, who was about to open the door, looked back at her for a moment. "Do you not trust me? Think I'll kidnap you and you'll never see your friends again?"

Well, that was a bit of an intricate suggestion. "I'd like to see you try." Right. Like this scrawny excuse for a man could stand up to her... Brute strength.

"Mm. I bet you would. Let me take you some place that's actually nice." The first half of his words flew right over her head, but the sound of something nice... Well, that sounded about too good to be true. Considering she'd thought all the food they'd fed her so far was from the heavens.

Well, if his words didn't convince her, the rumbling tummy did. "Lets go then."

It took 5 rude gestures, 4 insults, and 1 kind-hearted old lady to find what Atticus was looking for. A nice restaurant. And nice it was. All the people who sat at the tables were either in dresses or suits... Excluding Riyo. Who was in a tank top and pants. Obviously lack of class was a terrible odor, because the second she walked in, most of the people looked over at her in disgust. Including a few of the waiters...

"Table for two, please." Atticus said and raised an eyebrow as the man gave him a look.

"We only serve people with actual money." He responded with his nose stuck in the air.

Atticus didn't flinch. He only reached into his pocket and flashed his coin purse which seemed to shine in the a*****e's face. Sure flipped his frown upside down.

"Right this way, good sir."

Riyo didn't look impressed. But she kept her mouth shut for now. Her arms folded, slouched slightly. Nope. She didn't even try. after they were seated, she leaned back and stared at Atticus, making a face at their 'kind-hearted host' as he left them. "What's stuck up his a**?" She also didn't know the meaning of inside voices. Because one woman definitely choked on her fancy tea after she said that.

Atticus, who reeked of gentlemen, shrugged. "Same thing that's stuck up everyone's a**. Money. Greed. Selfishness."

Before the waiter could even ask what they wanted, Atticus responded with a quick "Two cups of tea. Please." Tea? Riyo's head tilted to the side. What was tea?

(whatever the weather is fine for me XD)

Mitsu frowned quite a bit as Yuki 'suggested' that the dog had to go. "B...but Yuki. He was outside all night in the cold, by himself," Her eyes were as big as saucers now as she wrapped her arms around Tobi's neck protectively. There was a special bond between them being both of the canine race, a certain understanding that Mitsu somehow didn't share with the others, and Yuki wanted that small comfort zone gone.

Feeling Tobi tug a bit eager to get the food Hitsu was offering him Mitsu let him go and as soon as he was in reach he took the food gently from Hitsu's fingers. He had learned quickly on to take food a bit more gently, especially since he knew he was going to get more. Once the bread was gone he proceeded to lick Hitsu's hand for crumbs nuzzling her palm for more.

"Can he please stay inside?" Mitsu begged clasping her hands together looking up at Yuki in such a pitiful way. "Please?"

Over on the bed Neko grumbled in his sleep. In a way it was like he could sense the situation and was voicing his protest, though, more than likely it was a nightmare once again. Sweat was beading up on his forehead and he clenched the blankets in his fist as his dream world continued to hold him hostage. At least his reactions were no longer as bad as before, a sure sign that the effects were wearing off.

Shaking his head at Yuki, Blade frowned somewhat at the comment he made. He glanced over at Neko momentarily before turning his attention back to the other cat boy.

"Just relax. Your allies and friends should be the least of your worries right now. I mean, just the previous night you nearly strangled me because you thought I was some attacker. I get that you're on the run right now, but who ever's chasing you and who ever it was that poisoned Neko is out there. Not in here."

That being said, he looked down towards Mitsu, Hitsu, and Tobi. The dog sure was getting quite a bit of a mini feast right now. He wasn't so sure if they should given him a whole lot all at once, but the dog should be able to not overstuff himself... right?

While he waited outside of the hotel that morning, Shun was checking over his equipment to make sure everything was in place. First, two of people came out, one he recognized to be from Neko's group. He was about to begin following them, but not much later, another girl exited the hotel. It was the half fin he saw, as well as the one Neko had described to be "cute".

Seeing how she was alone, he decided to single her out first. He had already killed Neko, or so he believed, which left roughly five more people. That was a lot to have to drag around. Especially since they would be alive. Perhaps it would be better to snatch one of them now and come back for more.

One by one... I'll get them.

Grinning lightly, he began to follow her from a distance. She seemed to be searching for something, possibly food. So the assassin kept an eye on where she was headed and ducked away into an alley. Shun was going to try and intercept her if possible, and in an area with a little less people.

A little later, he peeked out of another alley, spotting her headed in his general direction. Quickly, he brought out a small tube and loaded it with a tiny dart. When he peeked out from the shadows once again, he exhaled hard, to send the tranquilizer flying towards her.

Shun watched his target intently to see the effects of the dart. Before long, he saw that his little tranquilizer worked as the girl dropped to her knees. It didn't seem like it completely knocked her out as he would have liked, but it was good enough.

Quickly, he rushed out from the alley and towards her. It probably wasn't a good idea to try and tie her up in the middle of the street, so he tried to make it seem somewhat like he was going to help her up.

Once he reached her, he reached down to try and grab her arms to drag her up to her feet.

"You're coming with me."

As Hitsu threw the bread Tobi jumped a good foot in the air to catch it before gobbling it down as he had done with everything else. Then there was stew, oh what a feast he was having today. Waiting outside all night was truly paying off now. Happily he began to slurp up the stew chewing at the bits of meat he found.

Since Yuki hadn't said anything, Mitsu could only image that meant Tobi could stay. Happy she sat down beside him and patted his back while he ate. In truth, he was like her security blanket. While the others could protect her Tobi put her mind at ease. It was hard to explain but when Neko had slapped her the only thought process she had was to either cower to prevent being hit again or run. Neither were good options. With Tobi here now the thought of it happening again didn't worry her as much.

"Hitsu," There was still something about last night that bothered her. It was how this had all gotten started. "Are You, Yuki, and Neko going to go back to your village now?" If they did Mitsu wasn't sure where she would go. She didn't have a home to return to and she had become so dependant on everyone now that she wasn't sure if she could manage again on her own. The thought was a little overwhelming and the fact that she had yet to find Ko bothered her. Three months, it had almost been three months and there was no trace of him since her departure.

Mitsu's eyes began to focus on the floor with a bit of a sad look though it was for other reasons than what she had just asked Hitsu. If only her mind could convey that because she certainly didn't think to express it.

Once done with his stew Tobi's full belly seemed to weigh him down and it was time for a nap to help aid the digestion. With one quick hop he was on the bed Neko was sprawled out across and he promptly laid down on top of him. Neko let out of few grunts and groans in his sleep as Tobi adjusted himself but soon he was comfortable with his head resting on Neko's chest and half his body laying across Neko's stomach.

God....what the hell was this? It felt as if each passing second she was getting more tired with the effects of the dart. Poke wasn't an idiot; she knew she was being attacked by someone, as there was no other logical reason she would of been tranqulized in the middle of the street.

As she struggled to maintain consiousness, she saw something rush out to her, and then another voice..was that yuki? A person was in front of her telling her to come with him. Her mind went back to yuki's purserver...Was this her. At any rate...there was no way in hell she was about to be taken anywhere.

Pushing herself into an awkward crouch, she pushed off the ground with both hands in feet in a attempt to headbutt the purserver away.
