Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ayumi glanced down from the building's roof, she noticed a few more soliders coming after Fai and the group. She immediately knew what to do--after thinking about a quick plan. "Mirielle!" she commanded and held up her hand above her head setting it like a perch for Mirielle to land on. Ayumi began to chant silently in calm fast whispers. Mirielle, who was perched atop her hand began to glow a fierce, bright mix of red, orange, and yellow. Soon, Mirielle's body looked like it was made of fire; her wings wer spanned out--signaling that she was ready to fly.
A spiral of fire spinned down from Mirielle and circled around Ayumi in a downwards motion.

Ayumi suddenly opened her eyes--them holding a cold stare within. She then screamed, "Attack, Mirielle!" fiercefully and loudly. With that command said, Mirielle flew off in a steep downward dive at the soldiers who were chasing after Fai and the group. Mirielle flapped it's flaming wings constantly as it aimed in for a critical blow. She flew at a fast, speed--the sight being a lovely one to watch. Mirielle soon reached the soldiers in impeccable timing and striked through them like an arrow being released from a bow. The soldiers fell to the ground, becoming unconcious from the attack.

Mirielle, knowing that it's job was done, flew back to Ayumi--and changed back into it's feathered creature form. "Phew, good job, my friend." Ayumi smiled and continued to watch as Neko brought up Fai, Kurogane and the rest.

((no, Neko is Hane's companion.))

Neko carried them all up to the building and landed everyone safely on top ofthe building. "Good job Neko! Now I can do finishing act." she pulled out a small glass ball with mist and threw it at the soliders and once it got contact it exploded and released the mist in that area and from below the building that they were on top of. "good thing I had this thing all planed out. Now they won't remember what was going on over there even the ones who were asleep." she grinned and turned to everyone. "we might as well go inside now." She lead them to the top floor door which led down stairs, and opened the door. "After you."

"yep, My whole family owns this whole building. Right now most of them are being held at jail, because they went against the new lord of this city. The old lord, Lord Leon, was alot nicer but was thrown off by Lord Huo and now is being held in jail with my family members." she explained as she awaited the others hold ing the door open for everyone to get into the building.

((ACK!!! eek I appologize to everyone for my absense. My internet is screwed up right now and it temporarily fixed for the time being. I'll try to have it fixed soon and be on more often.))

Syaoran looked toward Hane and Ayumi with a sigh of temporary relief. The group was save, for the time being from the strange attacking soldiers.
"I thank you for your help," he said with a smile before turning to face Kurogane. "Kurogane-san, I'll take Sakura-san."

He lifted her in his arms with a slightly sad face. The princess was sound asleep but there was still an empty expression on her face. Her skin was warmer than when their journey had started, but she was not... complete... Syaoran again looked toward the new travelers.

"Please forgive me. My name is Syaoran," he said and bowed his head.
"Mokona, do you sense a feather anywhere?"

"It's no problem Syaoran-kun. I was just accepting a favor from a good friend and along with a feeling of being charitable." She spoke with a bright smile then looked at Sakura-Hime. "I'll lead you to a room for Miss. Sakura-hime." she spoke kindly and had lead in the last couple of people and closed the door. "I might as well show you around here. And You'll need to know some of the remaining family members here too." She walked down the stairs leading them to the family room with at least 10 people inside. sitting down in chairs and couches reading, laying down sleeping, or looking throught transparent screens.

Ayumi looked at the people in the room that Hane had let them into. Wow... she thought and stood near the door's entrance. Mirielle began to rustle it's wings and made quiet chirping noises to itself. "Shh! Quiet, Mirielle--you'll disturb the people here." Ayumi whispered to her pet. She turned to Mi and gave a sight bow with her head, "I'm Ayumi and this is my pet, Mirielle--it's very good to meet you, Mizuna-san."

((By the way... Around what time in the Tsubasa manga are we RPing in? Chapters or volume number is fine. I just don't want to give away any spoilers sweatdrop ))
The boy smiled at the rest of Hane's family and bowed his head to show his respect.
"Nice to meet you all. I am Syaoran. The tall man with blonde hair is Fai D. Flowright, and the man in black is Kurogane-san. Thank you again for welcoming us into your home." he said while bowing his head again.
Syaoran was almost unnaturally polite at times given that his childhood had been rough. His first love was that for a princess and this tone had become one with ever since Sakura awoke from the first feather.
Hane's close, yet still relatively large family, also opened a few other memories. Growing up, Fujitaka was the only family he ever knew. It was rough with just the two until they settled in the Country of Clow. Then he met Sakura-him. It finally seemed like home, a place of comfort with loved ones. However, current circumstances prevent the traveling party to enjoy many paradises. Journeys are always difficult, but rewarding.
Syaoran shook these memories and thoughts out of his head. The best thing to do now was to concentrate on finding Sakura-hime's feathers.

((Sorry everyone, my internet has been down. ^^;; ))

Yu bowed, "Thank you for your hospitality Hane-san!" She turned to Syaoran and smiled. "It's nice to meet you, I really hope I can help you find Sakura-chan's feathers."
