It was shortly after sunrise when Oni made her way far into the Ancient Forest, hoping to find the spot where she had found the pendant. However, her memory had failed her as to the location of the spot. She did remember that she had never taken any turns while in the forest that day, so all she had to do was travel in a straight line. This made things significantly easier for her.
It was afternoon when Oni decided it was time to set down and rest. She placed her things and sat down with Tetsuo under a large tree facing the path she had taken there.
"I hope we can get some sort of lead out here, Tetsuo... Im starting to think that I didnt plan this out too well." Oni opened the food pouch and tore a loaf of bread in half, giving one piece to her companion.
"There was no way we could have possibly planned a route. We were barely able to get the lead that we were so lucky to find."
They ate silently under the tree. While there, Oni focused on her chest. The burn had turned a dark purple shortly after the pendant reacted to the church. She wondered what it meant.

[[ack, Kaori! Sorry >< i was writing something for my portfolio ><]]
Sai shook his head. "I'm sorry Kaori, but I can't say what he's doing. But, if I had to guess, he's going crazy right about now," he said, glancing over at her as they followed Kai. After a moment, he looked foward, glancing around them; hopefully, no one would just pop out at them and stall even longer. "Hopefully, nothings happend. And," he started, rolling his eyes as he sighed, "we all know this, but Mergex is probably waiting for us, so keep your guard up."

[It's fine, it's fine! I'm being very slow too... ^^;;]
Kaori nodded her head, tensing slightly so she could draw her sword at any moment as soon as something happened. A very small bit of fire appeared in her left palm, readying itself to be used as well. This way she wouldn't have the small pause before the fire decided to appear.
Kai was doing the same thing with his ice. He shifted the sword straps against his bare chest, not used to wearing it this way, but soon deciding that it definitely wasn't important right now. Above all else, they had to find Meghan and return her to normal. His hands clenched slightly again at the thought, once more blaming himself. After all, who else was there to blame? He scowled as he slowed a bit, dropping into place on Kaori's other side.

Sai glanced over at Kai, frowning, before looking straight again. "Stop blaming yourself," he said simply, agitation in his voice as he looked for Meg's little rodent. "It's not going to help at all; you keep it up and you're the first to fall," he said, his eyes still foward. Where the hell were Sora and Mergex. He paused for a moment, glancing to his left to see Tomo heading back towards the school. "We're getting closer," he said softly, looking over at the two.
[[you can post here or in crystal lake next, I guess. ]]

He wasn't sure what it was, but this moment was pefect to him. He realized, he had still had feelings for her before she left. He had, being himself, locked them away, to forget, as he did for a great many things. But none of it mattered to him now. All there was for him was them. Together. Right now. And it felt perfect.

"Yeah...and thier all like little sisters to me. All of them are nice, sweet, outgoing, you get my drift."
A lightbulb went off in his head he smiled for a moment as he thought to himself.
"I think I have an idea Liz...and it's a good one...so we can all continue to be this happy family. But we should probably get clean first. So if you'll excuse me..."
Darius then ran up to where the girls were fighting.
"Hey girls!" he lept up onto one of thier backs, he couldn't tell who though because they had made themselves unrecognizable to him. Though Darius probably failed to realize that he was probably too heavy for the persone he jumped onto.

Layla followed closely behind Kuro, watching the floor; she still felt embarrassed and couldn't get her mind away from Him. [no, not you! xP] She looked up, hearing him, but didn't respond; that wasn't really an insult either way- she didn't think of herself as a 'school girl'. As they entered the forest though, she felt a weird aura, to say the least, coming from somewhere inside. "Where exactly are we going in here?" she asked softly, before she saw something flying towards them. With a small thump, a purple crystal landed near them, tumbling even closer. "You don't see that everday," she giggled.
Edit:
Layla ran foward, bending down in front of the crystal. She looked at it for a few moments before picking it up. "This... is a nice color. Why would anyone want to throw it away?" she said softly, standing up as she brushed off some dirt that had gathered. She shurgged; perhaps she should hold it until the person who it belonged to came looking for it. After a moment, she placed it in her jacket poket, deciding that was the best place for it. "Well then, shall we get on with the seperating?" she smiled, turning around to Kuro.

Kaori tore through the forest, sword out and making it somewhat harder for her to dodge around the trees. But still, she didn't allow herself to slow. She did begin wondering how she was going to find the stone though. She'd seen and noted the general direction Mergex had thrown it, but didn't know the exact landing spot. She suddenly was filled with a fear that it could have broken upon landing. Would that mean Sai was lost forever? She closed her eyes for a second, refusing to believe that.
She looked up again a moment later, then glanced around, eyes widening as she thought she heard someone calling her name. "M-Meghan?" she called quietly, then bit her lip and continued forward, a sudden idea hitting her. She sniffed the air, somehow catching Mergex's scent, very faint. She followed it quickly, skidding to a halt as she saw a girl ahead of her [Layla]. She froze, just staring at her for a moment and then stepping forward, lowing her sword so the girl wouldn't feel threatened. "U-um, did you see... a purple stone anywhere?" she stammered.

[[ACK!! I'm sooo sorry. I didn't see that you posted ><]]
Layla looked at the girl for a moment, blinking. She titled her head, before saying, "U-um, yeah. Why?" She didn't quite know the girl, but she wondered if she was the one who had thrown it.
Sora came up behind Kaori, coming closer with each step. She smirked; what it, or was it not, her old childhood friend. "Oy, Pheonix!!" she called, waving her hand; there was now no need to fight. She came to a slow, her hands on her knees, as she pretended to catch her breath. "Pheonix, that... that's mine, can... can I have it back?" she asked, looking up at her, still pretending to catch her breath. She held out her hand, waiting for it.
"Kaori-chan, don't let her have it!!" the girl cried, banging the mirror of liquid. "You can still bring Sai-kun back!!" She wasn't quite sure if Kaori could hear her; her powers weren't too strong in the void. Even if she could hear her, the connection could still be faultery.

Sakii walked along the forests looking around when she heard voices. I wonder what that could be She ran very fast and stoppoed behind a tree peeking as she saw some people playing with something. She sniffed the air. Mixed races She moved away from the tree and walked toward them. "Hello" she said in her nice friendly voice.

[Don't worry about it Wind! I was getting a snack anyway. ^^;;]
Kaori gazed back at the female, then opened her mouth to speak when Sora suddenly arrived. She instantly whirled around, sword ready once more. But she paused as Sora didn't attack her, and blinked between the two females in surprse. Did they know each other? That would mean Sora had an advantage!
She gritted her teeth and turned back to face the first female again. "Please, I need it. It's very important that I get it back!" She had tears in her eyes again, realizing how close she was to retrieving the stone, and blood was still dripping down her cheek slowly. "I need it, to help someone..." She bit her lip, tail wound around her leg anxiously. Then she paused, thinking she heard a voice again. Meghan's voice. It was very faint, and she didn't catch all the words, but she could tell that she was there and aware of what was happening. Meghan, please fight it... she thought urgently.
She jumped in alarm as she heard footsteps of someone approaching, then froze as she saw another stranger approaching. But she looked away from her and back at Layla. "Please," she begged again, voice soft and painfilled. "It's so important."

[[ack, last post; to the movies I go!! i'll be back later]]
Layla looked at the two of them; who did the crystal belong too. Her eyes lingered on Sora for a minute; now, she wasn't so sure who it was since Meghan always called her Pheonix. Then suddenly, she realized; there was no honorific after that. She smiled at Kaori, turning to her. "Here you go; please, take good care of it next time. You shouldn't go throwing it around," she smiled, taking out the gem and placing it into Kaori's hand.
She turned around, hearing a girl speaking. "Oh, Hi there," she smiled, her back towards the other girls. Although it was Sora, layla knew she wouldn't attack her.
Sora frowned as she watched the gem being handed over. "Damn you, Ice princess," she said under her breath before turning to Kaori. "There isn't much you can do, now is there? You don't even know how to get your own boyfriend outta that one, poppet," she smirked.
Meghan smiled, tears still running down her face. "Kaori-chan, just make sure you get away from her!" she yelled, not wanting her hurt anymore. She bit her lip; fight? Fight what?

[Alright, see you later!]
Kaori continued biting her lip anxiously as Layla glanced between her and Sora. She just knew Sora was going to get it, and then who knew what would happen to Sai? She'd never see him again and-! Her thoughts cut off suddenly as she felt the stone placed in her hand. Kaori stared at Layla for a moment and then absolutely beamed in happiness. "Th-thank you so much! I'll be more careful next time," she promised with a small bow. Kaori held it close to her chest, tightly in her left hand, as her right still held her sword.
Then Kaori glanced back at Sora as she looked towards her. Her eyes narrowed and she shook her head. "I'll figure out how to get him free, you can count on that," she growled, then paused as she once more heard Meghan's voice, faintly. I won't let her have it, she thought firmly, and then added Meghan, you can take back control if you try hard enough. I know it, believe in you and I know Kai and Sai do as well! She kept her gaze straight on Sora still, sword at the ready as she waited to see if the girl would try anything.

[[back!]]
Sora looked at Kaori, her eyes narrowed. She gritted her teeth as she pulled the sword from the hold on the belt, the one that was behind her back. Holding it in front of her, between the two of them, she smirked. "Oh, I can count on that can I, poppet?" she asked softly, "How bout if I told you you wouldn't be here to figure it out any longer?" Suddenly, she had lunged foward, her cheeks glowing. Putting her middle and pointer finger to the blade, it started glowing;in a matter of seconds, it would extend and if Kaori didn't dodge, the blade would go through her.
[[please, Kaori-chan... move xD andddd i don't feel like using layla here, so i'ma just leave her out]]
"Of course you won't let her have it, less we never want to see Sai again," she called out sarcastically, watching the scene unfolding before her from where she sat; she was helpless, and she knew it. She shook her head though, laughing faintly. "There's no way I can possibly get out of her, Kaori-chan. No one, except one, has freed themselves from any void; it's the same as limbo. There's a million ways to get in, but no way to get back out."
