Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Perhaps Isamu is...." laughed ryuho as he lied his head down onto his bag and began to close his eyes.

Izieixie sighed and let out a frustrated yell as she buried her face in her arms. "You're HOPELESS, Ryuho. Why are you so insensitive?" A few yards off, LaRaine raised to his feet. "Pansy Boy, huh? I'll show him." He started towards Ryuho, his whip out, an evil gleam in his eyes, ready to tear him apart, when an arm reached out and grabbed him. He turned around and saw the unreadable face of Zaniii. "LaRaine, wait, you can't. We need him to get us to HQ." LaRaine was on the brink of breaking out of her grasp to go after Ryuho, but at the last second thought better of it. "Fine. I can wait until we get there. But I can't wait until he meets Rayt. That's sure to be one hell of a show." At this, Zaniii giggled, took LaRaine's hand, and led him a bit farther away from the group, but close enough that they could still keep watch on the rest. Back at camp, Izieixie still was hiding her face, a bit disgusted with Ryuho.

Izieixie stood up immediately, now angry and confused with Ryuho, with tears streaking down her face. 'An Army Leiutenant should not conduct herself this way, especailly of the strongest army in the world.' She thought to herself. "You're heartless, Ryuho. I thought you were on our side." She couldn't say another word to him, and LaRaine took her place and another step towards Ryuho, a maniacal look on his face. "So we are weak, are we? Have you not noticed that we are still around? All of those years without you, and yet we are still fighting. Does bringing down the Order mean nothing to you? Are you really that concerned much with your own affairs that the fate of the world concerns you none at all?" Zaniii stood up now too, enraged with Ryuho's niave comments. "You're pathetic. We selflessly defend the weak, the hopeless, the maimed, the poor, everybody from the terror that is the Order, and you can't even spare your sympathy. Not that I'm surprised. I didn't ever kid myself that you had any. And as for the Zodiac Society being weak, you're the one that walked away from us, Ryuho. Things have changed, but not how you think. Honestly, I pity you."

"Ryuho, you don't have to apologize. You were just speaking you mind." said Kitsuna as she jumped down from the rock she was laying on.

LaRaine dropped his head and his attitude after Ryuho left. "If that's it, I'm going to sleep. It's late, and I need to look presentable in front of Rayt tomorrow." "Yeah, me too. See you guys later." Izieixie was silent for a while, finally turning to Kitsuna after Ryuho left. "Do you think he'll be okay?" She asked.

"Argh!! What is this crap!!! Why am i doing this...it's such waste of time....that's it i'm calling him!!" yelled out Ryuho in frustration as he pickup his cell and dialed a number rather quickly hoping to get answer from the other side of the line, only to hear it picked up. "Akito!! Why is this being done?! What good will this do us?" questioned Ryuho. "Ahhh, Ryuho it has been a long time...what it's been about two hundred years since you last called me. I was hoping you would understand from by the letter i sent you six years ago. The reason of this is that even in our current power, we need those we can control fully. You must understand Ryuho though you and Drake are the only one of you're kind, you two alone are a threat enough when together. in any case i should be seeing you tomorrow General Kyukotsu. I'm looking forward to how much you're grown, but for now till we've killed enough of they're numbers stay with "them". This is you're mission, but when it is done....you may kill them then, is that understood, Ryuho?" replied the deep formal voice of Akito.
"Yeah i understand....so Zodiac Society is just a figure head....Hmph....so this silly army is just as foolish as the last, but they're loyal i give them that, but too much loyality can kill man if you're not careful. In any case Akito, I need to talk with you some about this mission, what's important that i need to protect these guys and kepp them together like a bunch of cattle?" asked Ryuho as he paced back and forth in the sand.
"Hmm...nothing gets past you doesn't Ryuho. Three of them hold something dear to which what we need, but i won't say till we are in person along with Drake and the others....this is important and need them to all hear it too." replied Akito.
"i see so the clans are coming together on this as well...then Naraku should be there too....he is after all the leader of the Zuri Kurayami Clan. Okay akito then tomorrow....but try to keep this low....i don't any attention, not like i have enough already to deal with." sighed Ryuho.
"Okay Ryuho then i'll be seeing you again very soon, goodnight.... the call ended and Ryuho sighed in the cold silence, finally understanding what was really going on within the war and Zodiac Society.

Izieixie gave a faint smile. "Well Kitsuna, if you think he'll be okay.....I trust your judgement. You know him better than I do." Staring off into the distance, trying to see any sign of Ryuho, she gave a huge yawn as she stretched. "Well, if that's it for tonight, I need to get some sleep. I have a lot of explaining to do tomorrow. Goodnight!" She walked over to where the sleeping bags were, careful to tread around Zaniii and LaRaine, who unsurprisingly were sleeping next to each other, to get to her own bag. She lay down, staring at the beautiful night sky, waiting for sleep to come...

Kitsuna turned over as se heard ryuho come back. Ignoring it as nothing she continued to sleep peacefully.
