Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Kashi is still in town Shasha-dono ^^;;; Since that was the person you were looking for last <<;; ))

Sakura did not answer the door, in fact a man did. He stood very tall as he looked down at Yumi. He stood there in silence for a long time before stepping out of the way. Sakura laid on the bed, his hands folded, sleeping. He was out cold, much unlike his normal ways. The man was there as his guard. He waved his hand for Yumi to enter and would close the door behind her.

Sakura laid in silence, his weapons leaning against the bed in a peaceful silence. They were engraved with strange words and letters, not normal in any sense. Both laid there and a larger odachi laid on the ground. The large man returned to a chair and sat down near the odachi. He watched her in painful silence, as if waiting for her to say something or do something. What was it he would want though. What could a guard want from her.

Then he spoke, "Himura Sakura is not the man you once knew as Chaos. Please don't seek that man out. He is extremely exhausted after so much work. He hasn't slept in a week or two from our judging. Since he woke and left this island he's been indulging in strenous activities that would break a normal man. We don't blame you for pushing him, just as we don't blame you for killing many of our people. For if Sakura finds enough favor and puts enough trust in you to bring you here then we shouldn't find fault with you." He looked at her and then at the 20 year old man laying in the cot for him to sleep in.

Kashi opened the door and strode in letting it close behind him. He would rest for the night and then begin travelling again in the morning. They would contact him when he was needed. Why worry about such a thing that he can't control anyways right? He smirked, walked to the window and looked out at the dying sun. So strange to see. It had been a day since he entered the city. Already he had an enemy.

He had also heard of a man named Chaos had left a while ago. This being the second day since he had been gone over the mountains. He missed him by very little...it mattered even less though. He would survive like always of course. Why do it any other way?

Akira shot out from under Togashi and looked around, aquainting herself with their new surroundings. She then looked up at Togashi for a second, looking out the window. Sht tilted her head. Akira suddenly yawned and crawled up on the bed, curling up in a little ball, on the pillow. She stuck her thumb in her mouth and lay still, waiting for sleep.

Lotus paced in the width of the cave. She didn't have a boat, she didn't have her wings and she didn't have a plan. She was trying to formulate one but she could only think of swimming. She was a powerful swimmer but it was dangerous on open water. She growled, cursing Chaos for leaving her stranded on this stupd cave, cursing Chaos for saving her miserable life and leaving message. In her current frame of mind...which was bordering on insanity by her standards, she saw that message as a mocking reminder.
She didn't, however. destroy it.

((Actually if you read up a bit there is a small one person boat in there designed for in case he had to swim there to get away with. She can use that to get out of the caves with. ^^ Oh and you're with Kashi, not Togashi ))

(((Yep your with him, not the crotchedy old man with a death wish xp xd , Hey Chaos, how close are you to the 20K you need dude?)))

Togashi slams into the ground outside the city and tears up the main street. he enters the informants house and murders everyone with.
HE steps out into the street again, holding the life savings of his "enterprise"
"hhmhmhm, hidden under the rice, so common"
He walks down the street, people getting clear of him.
"I like this fear."

((If you use Yumi's sleep-talking as an excuse for knowing a lot about her past I'm not going to like you Chaos gonk surprised ))

Yumi was left alone in the room to think about what the man had just said. The satisfied and happy feeling was all gone now, now Yumi only felt like she was surrounded by enemies. The great feeling of danger made her jumpy, she scanned the room, listened to every noise, even considered leaving the house. But then she remembered Chaos. She had promised to guard him and after all the trouble he had gone through to get her to the island she couldn't just leave him. The same question she had asked herself before they started the journey towards the island now popped up again, why did Chaos agree to take her to the island in the first place? Was it because he then could allow the people on the island to kill her, as some kind of revenge? Maybe... why not? This was after all the island she had murdered more people than ever before on. Wouldn't all the people who lost their families want to take revenge? Now the room seemed to shrink. Every shadow looked like an enemy ready to attack.

((sowy, gettin' all confused...@_@))

Akira's eyes opened slowly, she looked over at Kashi at the window, she was fully awake now but she didn't move, fingering her little hidden weapons.

It took about an hour for her to calm down. When she did, she was suddenly upset again because she had overlooked the small rowboat bobbing some ways away. She was quite happy no one was there because she was feeling very embarrassed at the moment. She looked at her sword, she had a feeling she wouldn't be able to use it but she tried anyway.

Akira was peeved she had to stay put. She did stay for a bit, but like most children jumped out the window and followed him at a safe distance, moving like a small shadow with deftness she had yet to disclose to Kashi.

Lotus rowed out to sea, looking back at the caves. She had written down Chaos' message and had it with her and woudl always keep it somewhere on her person. She had decided that without conciously deciding it at all. Looking about, she had no idea where to head next and stopped rowing all together. She took that moment of inactivity to thank and curse Chaos at the same time.
