He had buckled on his sword and dagger opposite to those of Jangen's. He now knelt infront of the grave marker. The flowwing script on the steon read:
Jangen
Loved friend and teacher
you will always be remembered
The stone slab on the ground read the same thing. The walled echoed everything in the cavern so he heard exactly what she had said about being a necromancer. He kept silent, pretending not to hear. These new weapons looked better on him than the obsidian black set but he left those on aswell.
We leave in the morning Yume. Have a good nights sleep and be prepared to climb.
He stood up, walking to the door of the bathroom. He stayed around the corner so he wouldn't see anything but could still hear. His hands rested on the hilts of the rapiers at his hips. Wearing both made him feel so much more balanced than normal.

Yume looked down at her hands. Born a necromancer, and a necromancer I shall be...I can't change that...but I can forget it... A dark mist surrounded the tub, seeping through the half-open door. It flooded the rooms like a fog, and Yume forced the darkness to take some of her memories. Sometimes, darkness was good, when you manipulated it...if you could manipulate it...It probed her mind, and Yume held her throbbing head. When the darkness left, it held a shiny little orb made entirely of memories. When her head started to throb again, she cried out. The pain is worth it...I won't have to remember what it was that I forgot...

He turned, walking away from the bathroom door. He went into the kitchen, his panty still full of spices and herbs. He pulled down two large cans of broth and opened them with a knife. He poured them into a large pot and set it on the stove.
When the broth came to a boil he added in herbs and spices then began to chop up meat that had been kept in a small cold cellar at the back of the pantry. He dumped the small cubes into the broth and put a lid on the pot. Dinner would be ready by the time Yume was out of the bath.
Dinner soon. Be ready Yume.

Yume heard Pander say that dinner would be ready soon and she should probably get ready too. Sure thing Pander! She stepped out of the tub and let the water go down the drain. The darkness retreated and the bright orb was in her hand. She put it away in her bag. She'd get dressed and then visit Jangen-dono's burial place. After all, he'd been very kind towards her...and she hadn't been able to repay him...She dried off and got dressed, walking outside to the grave. Normally, I'd feel silly for talking to a grave like this, but I know you're listening, Jangen-dono. I didn't have a chance to thank you for caring for me when I got this tattoo. Um...I did, however, become friends with your student, and...I wanted to say thanks then, but...I found out I was too late... Yume choked on tears. She wiped them away with the back of her hand, and clamped her hands over her mouth so that Pander wouldn't hear her. Unfortunately, the walls echoed with the sound of her voice, so she didn't try to hide it well. Well, Jangen-dono, I hope you're in a better place than here...Goodbye...

Why are you saying goodbye? He's still around here at times.
Pander laughed tomhimself as he poured the soup out into large bowls. He set the on the table then walked over to Yume. He wrapped his arm around her waist from behind, resting his chin on the top of her head.
He took measures to ensure that he would be here for any of his friends of students if they needed him. He considered you a friend I know that. I was pupil and friend.
Pander smiled at the memory of Jangen. The old man had died a short time after they left the village. Pander laid him to rest here, as he had been instucted. The next morning he grieved like none had ever grieved before.

Yume placed her hands on Pander's arms and leanded back. I didn't get to say goodbye back then, so I'm saying it now...I know he's still around, but... She sighed. She turned around in Pander's embrace and rested her head on his chest. She started to cry. Sorry...there's just too much going on...
((I am really sad, because I was supposed to go to an anime convention here in Hawaii, and they were supposed to close 4 hours from now, but the hotel that they were using said that the Kawaii-Kon was breaking down already...so...yeah, I'm really sad...because I have to wait until next year for the next convention in Hawaii...it's all my uncle's fault! If he had just let me go on Saturday with my friends, I would've been able to go!))

The acid was stopped briefly by the dagger but some of it went through. The acid was reduced in size and now only headed for Kaori's right eye instead of both. Mergex cursed though when he saw that Sai was a ghost. He had no chance and thus need to retreat till he found a way to beat him. He started to squiggly his body becoming lquidy. He suddenly shoot up straight into the air disappearing leaving only a seemlying melting sword on the ground.

Kaori grunted in rage at Mergex's words, but knew he was right. Her hand went to her own hidden dagger as he was speaking, but she froze in shock as he spit at her. This is what he did to Kai! she thought, recalling the earlier fight against Dargex. Her hand began to raise, the left which was holding the dagger, but stopped as she noted Sai rushing between them. "Ah-!" she started, but he had already acted, tossing a dagger in the way. She saw in surprise that it did manage to knock most of the acid away, and by this time she'd raised her dagger up. She had intended to ram it into Mergex's stomach, but saw now what was more important. She held it instead before her own face as she shut her eyes tightly. She felt the blade ring in her hand as the liquid hit it, but a drop or two bounced off and made contact.
Kaori bit back a scream, biting her tongue to hold it in, as she dropped to the ground on her knees. The dagger and sword both landed around her, discarded, as she clutched at her right eye. She knew it could be a lot worse if Sai hadn't intervened, and was thankful for that. Her eye was watering rapidly, flushing out the acid before it did too much damage, but she still didn't let her face go.
[Dinner time, then project work again with Spazz.]

Misa rushed in and saw Mergex disappeared. Misa frozed. This Mergex guy could attack any moment. Even her. Misa stood her guard and looked around for Kaori. "Kaori? Kaori!" Misa shouted as she saw Kaori. Misa didn't go to Kaori though she was on guard for where ever this Mergex guy is. She looked around and her eyes turned dark blue and Misa continued to look around.

gordon loked around to. " He's gone..wait..no I feel him...he's far away...very far. Where Shepard is!" Gordon said looking in the direction of the east. it was to far to run and Gordon couldn't fly yet. He turned around and ran over to Kaori. He took out a small bottle in his pocket.
" Open your eyes. This will help it." he said wanting it to pour it into her right eye.

Kai burst into the forest, following Kaori's scent to lead himself straight to her. He paused only for a second, panting, as his eyes found her. "Kaori!" he cried as he sprang to her side, dropping to his knees beside her. "Kaori, what happened? Are you ok?"
Kaori filnched as Misa and Kai called her name, but didn't remove her hands from her eye. It hurt so bad... She whimpered softly to herself, causing Kai to freak out and yell even more. Still, she ignored him. Was Sai alright? Where had Mergex gone? She jumped slightly as she heard Gordon approach as well, and glanced at him with her left eye, keeping the right firmly covered. "Wh-where Shepard is?" she whimpered. "Do you need to go find him?" She hesitated as she saw the bottle, but then slowly turned her face towards the sky, still sitting on the ground. She forced her hands from the rapidly watering eye and stared upwards, making herself keep it open. Her hands balled into tight fists as she faught the urge to cover it again.

"Kaori-chan!" Sai started to materialize as he fell to his knees, next to her. He sat aside as Gordon tried helping, his hands grasped on pieces of grass. "Misa-san, he's not here, you don't have to be on guard," he said, glancing at her before looking back to Kaori. I should have done more to prevent this, he thought, scolding himself, It's my fault....
[[ i felt like blaming myself xD and i just realized... i coulda jumped in because... i'm dead ><]]

" This is gonna burn...alot. Your not going to be able to see for a few hours buit its better then having your eye melt away." he said pouring small drops of the stuff into her eyes. After 5 drops it was done. He looked at Kai and shook his head.
" Its to far. It faded but there there. I think Shepard said something about a sea of sand that helped him train." Gordon said thinking about it.

Kaori nodded slowly at the warning, fists clenching more tightly. As the drops hit her, she flinched, but forced her eyes open until he'd finished. Then they snapped shut instantly again and she clutched at them, bowing her head so low her forehead touched the ground. Both eyes were streaming tears now, and it was impossible to tell wether it was from her crying or the pain. Perhaps it was a little of both. Her teeth were clenched tight and every now and then a short scream would escape before she abruptly stopped it. Her tail thrashed wildly, revealing the pain she was trying to hide. She flinched again at Sai's voice and opened her mouth, not raising her head. "I'm al...right..." she whispered faintly and then fell silent once more.
Kai watched Kaori in wide eyed horror until he had to look away. "Gordon, how long will it hurt her?" he hissed, staring at the male now. Then he paused for a moment, listening to him speak. "I don't know where that is," he said shortly, knowing he hadn't taken enough time to really explore the school's grounds yet.

Sai put his hands on her shoulders. "Kaori-chan, scream if you want; it'll get your pain out. Don't hold all of it in," he said to her, low enough for only her to hear, but full of concern that it was shaking. Moving the hand closest to him which had been on her right shoulder, he put it gently on her wrist. "If not, than squeeze my hand to let it out; just don't keep it in," he tried to persuade her, his voice still low.
