((Hmm...well, I'm gonna assume that it would be pointless for poke to wake up halfway there since it would defeat the whole purpose, so lets asssume she'll wake up in the lab, since Shun would most proably sedate her again if she woke up on the way))
No.....
don't...... take him away....
He didn't do anything wrong... leave him alone...
She was running. Running faster then she ever had in her life. Fear and anger driving her forward as she sped through the street. Ahead of her was a carrige. Inside, a friend. One of the few remaining ones she had.
Just...a few more....
He stretched his hand outwards, trying to take hold of hers as she reached in turn towards him. She was so close, so very close...But fate seemed to have a different plan...
She tripped, her body came crashing down onto the earth. Desperately she scrambed up only to see the shocked expression of her friend, his hand still outstretched, fading away into the distance.
Now, she layed on the ground, her lungs gasping for much needed air. Except, for some reason, she wasn't getting any. No matter how she gasped and chocked she couldn't breathe. She might as well been in water.
As if on que the scene changes, and she is now she is surrounded by the blue liquid. Her lungs were in agony as they tried to take on air but could not, and suffocated under the sheer weight.
With a start, poke regained consisious. Her breath come in short gasps as she confused her dream with reality for a few short minutes. Eventually she calmed down to realise she wasn't drowning, but then remebered the series of events before her state of unconisious had accured. Holy crap, what the hell happened to yuki?!?! She remembered him fighting the guy, an a dizzying sensation of the ground passing by, but that was it.
Her mind went back to her dream again. It was one she had before, but rarely. Usualy in times when she felt alone or she missed seeing her friends. Lately she hadn't the time to think about it... why was she having this dream right now?
She sighed, and tried to get a look at her suroundings and get her barings straight.
((how be this?))

((Works for me, I'm going to assume Shun is close by.))
It hadn't been long since the aquarian girl had been brought to the lab. Suto had made arrangements to have her placed in a cell immediately. From there he would decide what to do with her. Walking up to the thick glass wall that separated her room from the hallway Suto watched as she moved around erratically before finally stirring.
"So you only managed to bring one back?" Suto smiled as if that intrigued him somehow. "Were they really that difficult for you? A few half-breeds and a little girl?" He chuckled a bit stepping closer to the glass to examine the girl's behavior. "At least I have something to work with in the meantime." A cruel smile twisted his lips as he brought his hand up to tap on the glass to get Poke's attention. The wall was far to thick for the tapping to be heard let alone talking, but it was a test to see what kind of senses this creature had.
"If you return to the lab my assistant there will have your payment for one body brought back to me. I do, however, expect more from you next time. Is that understood?" He never bothered to face Shun but instead pocketed his hands and stepped to the side where the intercom was the linked to Poke's room. Pressing the button down Suto leaned down to talk. "Hello, young lady. I would like to welcome you. I hope that you have found your temporary room comfortable for the time being?" He continued to hold down the button to listen to Poke speak.

Hanse eyed the gathered crowd as he passed over the outskirts of the city briefly, he could barely see what was going on, but he knew it just had to be something bemusing. He circled once, and landed atop a nearby housetop, avoiding casual detection. He peered from this vantage only to see something much more amusing than he had hoped.
He watched as the crowd dispersed, and let his eyes follow the girl and man as she carried him off into the sunset... or something less romantic, just down the street. He made a slight face as his eyes focused a bit more, and he could swear he had met these people before. With outstretched wings, he leaned off the top of the roof, and glided down behind the two, landing with naught a sound.
His wings folded up around him like a cloak as he peered more fervently at the man's horrid face. Then his eyebrows perked up with a jovial grin on his face. A few chuckles started deep in his throat as he watched Yuki being carried by a girl, his face all beat up. Between laughs he managed to say, "Poor Yuki, cried himself into a fit and is being carried off by a girl."

Could it get any worse? Not only was she carrying Yuki through a town of crowded people, but she was lost in said town. It shouldn't be this hard to navigate back to that restaurant Atticus had taken them to... Should it?
Oh, wait. About that worse thing...
Riyo's ears twitched as she heard laughing directly behind her. She stopped and turned her head in time to see the 'angel of death' sputter off about Yuki being carried by a girl. Her tail stood up on end as she realized just who this a*****e was, but she didn't run. He was definitely not the Angel of Death, because this was one of the times she wished he'd show up.
"Excuse me, but it's not Yuki's fault that I happened to be the only one around who wouldn't leave him laying around to die." She spat out, a bit hesitantly...
"And, I'm not some dainty little girl, either." As much as she might hate to admit it at this point in time...
And that was about the time Atticus popped in out of nowhere. He looked down at Yuki, then at Riyo. "I think you have it backwards."
"Where did you-" She didn't get a chance to finish as the question she was about to ask was answered with a simple point to the sky. Ravens circling overhead.
Well. Now that that was out of the way... "Just, help me get back to the room. I feel awkward enough with all these people staring at me. I don't need your commentary on the situation."

The first thing she noticed, was that she was on a room. a white room with a glass front and a man in a white labcoat staring at her. He appeared to be tapping on the glass but she couldn't hear the sound.
She stood up and eyed the man. His face was already giving her the creeps with the way he examined her like some animal. Another glance around the room and she noticed that it looked more like a cell then anything.
Upon being asked if she liked the place or not, she just frowned. "I don't suppose you can tell me where I am and why was I brought here?" She asked the man.

Suto smiled. "Of course, my dear. You are in the abandoned section of Galloway. This area is a large town all to itself but since the weather is less than favorable it was left for warmer climate. As for why you are here, you are simply my new lab rat. I test the effects of weapons, drugs, and gene splicing before I market them for war. Each race has its own reactions, strengths and weaknesses. I'm trying to pinpoint them all. Do make yourself at home. Lunch will be served soon and after that I have a few tests to run. I trust you to be cooperative." Without waiting for an answer Suto lifted his finger from the button cutting off communications to the room. "Ah, sweet youth." He chuckled a bit to himself.

Twitching slightly at what his contractor had to say, Shun scoffed some before making somewhat of a retort.
"Remember, you're asking an assassin to do kidnappings. I'm not exactly used to having to carry a body with me after the initial hit. But I'll be sure to bring more next time I return."
It irked him some but he couldn't lose his cool here. So that said, he went on to collect his pay. He figured it also wouldn't hurt to tend to his hand before heading back out. Right now, it was wrapped in bandages, but perhaps the nurses in the labs were able to do something more for it. In any case, it had been bloodied and badly bruised so he was going to have to do things with one hand for some time.

Still continuing to chuckle slightly, Hanse gestured slightly to Yuki's flaccid body. "I can carry that sack of wet noodles, if you want, Girl." Hanse never did pick up on many names, especially if he had plans for them. Hanse's head tilted slightly as he peered at the new guy that was tormenting the girl as well; he liked him. Liked in the sense of, appreciating another's fine work of berating. He seemed good at it, and apparently was already deep under the girl's skin, indicating a long history of it.

Who was the new guy? Wait... He recognized him from the village. Yeah, that was right. Fancy seeing him here, he guessed. Without anymore contemplation, Atticus signaled up to his raven friends... Supposively to help him find the hotel. To which, they started flying in a different direction. "This way.." He said quietly and started walking, Riyo staying close behind.
She had to hide the eye twitch at Hanse's... Kind offer. "N-no. I can carry him... And my name is Riyo." As she recalled, Yuki wasn't exactly happy to see this man the last time he was around. In fact, he was downright horrified. As was she, mind you. But for different reasons.
"Like I said.. I'm not weak..."
And, Atticus just had to chime in his opinion after all that. "That's a shame. I don't think most men want a woman who can lift more than they can."
The monotone voice was what got her. The fact that he was so goddamn calm when he spoke. "Who ever said I wanted a man?" Was her quick response, burning holes into the back of Atticus's skull with her eyes.
"Didn't know you were like that, Riyo."
"L-like what?"
He paused in his speech, contemplating whether to ACTUALLY explain to her what he meant by that, or to let it slide... That'd probably be a long explanation... "Nevermind."

Hanse quirked his brow a little and followed a few steps behind Riyo and the other, he then mentioned after a few minutes, "I wasn't quite offering because I didn't think you could handle it..." Hanse looked around briefly, "But, it might cut down on the stares."

Riyo glanced back at Hanse again as he kept persisting. "N-no.. Like I said, it's fine..."
"Well then why were you complaining about it? Someone has offered to take the burden off your shoulders, yet you refuse.." Atticus said, without turning around.
"You don't.. It's not..." Riyo started to say, but quite frankly didn't want to say it with the party in question right behind her. Though, her agitation at the raven was quite obvious from her red face and angry eyes at this point... If he said one more thing...
"Not what? Hm? What are you trying to say? Maybe you're enjoying the attention? Looking for something to complain about? Trying to-" And that was when Riyo drew back her leg and gave Atticus a swift kick to the groin. Before he had a chance to finish his sentence, he was on the ground. At a perfect time too. The hotel was only a few feet away.
She turned back to Hanse, still looking like there were more than a few chips on her shoulders, and said "You can carry him." Then began walking towards the building.
Atticus watched her walk off from the ground where he painfully sat, though you couldn't really tell from his face, the tears in his eyes spoke for him. "I hate women.." He spoke and realized his voice had gone up a few notes. Now that was humor.

pokes brain had a seziure at suto's next few words.
"Lab rat?!?!" she repeated. "Gene splicing?!?! war?!?! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THIS BULLSHIT!!" That was it, all bets were off and she was ready to start pounding the stuffing out of this guy.
She lunged forward, and her fist and face met with the hard glass that provided a sheild between herself and him. Rubbing her face, she aimed another blow and this time nearly succeded in breaking her wrists. She should of expected they would have preventive measures to make sure she wouldn't escape...
Poke sat down again and started to think more clearly now. Okay, so she had been captured and was going to be experimented on, now what? The first thing she wanted to was esacape (obviously) but it was somewhat impossible with that glass front. And the walls didn't look breakable either. The next thing she could do was to wait untill they gave her something to eat, and escape with whatever opening was made. Buts he had no idea if it would be big enough...
Or she could wait untill they took her out for a "experiment". Her mind went through the numerous possibilites of what they could do to her body, and she blushed red at some of the more "evil" things.

Hanse's brow remained quirked, "Must've felt pleasant..." He paused for a moment, then grabbed the bulk of the back of the man's shirt, and hoisted him off the ground. He looked back up to see Riyo walk into the hotel, and he followed suit, half keeping an eye on the now crippled man in his care.

Riyo ignored the burning stares she got from the clerk as she kicked the door open to get in, and didn't bother to stay and listen when she started to open her mouth. She just kept going, back towards the room as quickly as she could. Which door was it again? Oh yeah, that one.
She kicked the door, not expecting it to open, but to get the attention of whoever might occupy it right now. "Let me in guys!" She shouted, taking the moment to adjust Yuki so she wouldn't crack his head open on the doorframe.
Atticus said nothing about being carried in. And nothing about his poor expensive suit and how he'd probably have to stitch it back together. Or how much pain he was in right now. No, his pride was much to hurt for words right now.

[Going to assume that some sort of time skip has happened for those in the room, thirty minutes since Yuki left, if not longer.]
There was a loud thumping at the door, and Hitsu was on her feet to answer it almost immediately. She recognized Riyo's voice on the other side, and assumed that she'd just forgotten a key again. "Coming!" She called in response, reaching the door and swinging it open blissfully unaware of what was going to meet her on the other side.
Needless to say, when she saw Riyo holding an unconscious and bleeding Yuki, she froze. Her eyes grew wide, and she looked terrified. "Yuki!?" It was really the only word that she could utter, coherent questions would follow shortly after the initial shock had begun to fade. After a moment, she realized she was standing in their path, and stepped aside quickly to get herself out of the way.
