Kotarou gave a small chuckle "Alright I guess." Kotarou said as he motioned for Asuka to come along with his hand.
"Coming Ko-chan!" Asuka said as she floated over to him.
Kotarou began to make his way over to the cave that he assumed to be where they were camping for the night.

Candy welcomed Taerel's helping hand and lifted herself up. She smiled a thank you, and walked side by side to Taerel. She also watched Kotarou to make sure that he wouldn't fall.
While they walked to the cave, she begged to the stars that she wouldn't have to leave. Instead, she wanted to stay with this group of which she saw almost as family.

Taerel walked down the natural stair case leading to the pit of the cave. She sat down and leaned her back against the stone wall. Domeki followed Taerel and sat into her lap. It felt as if her past was just lifted off her shoulders. She looked down at the large, white ribbon that now lay in her lap.
She looked back at Candy and grinned, feeling a strange comfort in the midst of a damp cave. She untied the ribbon and let her soft, pink hair fall to rest an inch above her shoulders. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the stone supporting her weight from behind her.

As Kotarou walked into the cave he sat down a short distance from the entrance so as to keep an eye, tho he wasn't really part of their group the least he could do was keep watch for a little while, while Taerel and Candy atyleast rested in the back of the cave.
"How are you feeling Ko-chan? Better?" Asuka asked finally checking on him again.
"Yeah, much. The medicine Candy gave me seemed to really work." he told her. It was true, the medicine did have a great effect on healing him. He was almost back to normal already.

Taerel frowned and forced herself to stand up. Domeki jumped out of her lap and stood next to her.
"Now, Domeki!"
A ringlet of fire surrounded Domeki as he took the form of a large, black panther. He leaned forward to stretch his arms and looked back up at her gratefully.
"Ehehe.." she smiled, looking down at the panther.

Kotaour quickly jerked his head back at Taerel and Domeki when he heard Taerel yell. He was surprised at what he saw, "Wow." was all he could say as he stared at what had happened. Domeki had changed from a small black cat into a big black panther.
Asuka too was surprised at this and let out a gasp. The two continued to stare in amazement at the Taerel and Domeki.

Domeki curled up against the stone wall of the cave. Taerel layed back and rested her head on the panther's stomach.
Domeki felt the two's stares as if they burned a hole through him. He slowly turned to face the boy and the spirit next to him questioningly, not noticing why they were looking at them in shock. To Domeki, it was nothing spectacular.

Amitia returned from hunting. It had been succesful - she had found a giant half eaten mother boar, which of course wouldn't be eatable anymore, but its two lively cubs had been around the body. It had been more than easy to stab both, especially now that the mother wouldn't care at all. She walked to the fire holding the juicy little boars in her katanas. She had seen many animals in her life, but she had to admit, that not only the mother boar, but the cubs also were a lot bigger than normal ones. At this time it would just mean more food, but she could clearly see the situation where travelers were running for their lives. If the mother boar was giant, the male one...? She frowned when she tought about giant wolfes. "Meat to eat", Amitia said as she put down the bodies of the boars.

Kotarou turned back to the front to see Amitia return. "Seems our paths have crossed again huh?" he said giving a small smirk and chuckle. "How are you doing?" he added.

"Yes, it would seem so. I am rather surprised to see you here. And I am doing very well, thank you", Amitia said, nodding. She turned her look there where she felt Asuka was. "Good evening, Asuka-san." The she sat down next to the boar bodies and started to clean her katanas. Someone else would have to cook, since her cooking abilities were very limited.

Candy looked around the cave and noticed that Kai wasn't around. She wondered where he had gone, and wanted to acknowledge his hard work.
Noticing Taerel cuddling next to Domeki, she yawned. Her eyes were becoming rather heavy, but yet her heart was anxious.
With a gentle smile, she took out a wooden flute from one of her cloak pockets. When she was a child, she used to play this flute whenever she was anxious or scared. The very sound of this flute sounded like a choir of angels echoing to the earth below.
Softly, she blew into the flute and moved her fingers to the notes of Lullaby for a Stormy Night by Vienna Teng. The music was not loud, nor was it quiet. It was perfect.

"I'm surprised to see you here too." Kotarou told her.
Asuka just smiled and nodded knowing that Amitia couldn't hear what she said.
"Asuka seems happy to see you too." he said giving a slight laugh at the end. Kotarou's attention was then directed to Candy as he heard a melody being played. It felt very soothing and warm. Kotarou just watched her as she played almost becoming entranced.
Asuka too watched Candy as she played the melody and began to slowly drift off to sleep. She sat down next to Kotarou and rested her head on his shoulder and slowly her eyes closed and she drifted off to sleep.

The flute song caught Amitia's ears and she completely stopped the cleaning she was doing. She didn't recognize the song, but it was so beautiful... For a long time she felt very relaxed. Calm smile came upon her face and she leaned back, taking a deep breath. She sighed slowly and peacefully, staring at the ground. She sat there with others, but really she was completely in her thoughts.

Zero watched as the group all walked up to the cave Kai had found. Ace glanced at him to see what they were going to do. "Shall we see if perhaps they have room for two more?" he asked Ace. Ace smiled and nodded, afterwards resting on Zero's shoulder. Slowly he walked up to the entrance of the cave. "Might you have room for two more?" Zero asked to no one in particular. Being a thief, he was fairly sure they wouldn't accept him because of fear he might steal something.

Candy took her lips off of her flute and looked to the entrance of the cave. She smiled a welcoming smile and pranced towards the entrance.
"Oh! Hello Zero and Ace!" she chimed as she ran up to them with her flute in hand. "Come to the fire Kai has made, it's getting chilly outside. By the way, have you seen him?"
