Welcome to Gaia! ::

Artemis' ear twitched at his voice. Feo... That's right... I promised I'd stay around for him. She grunted slightly, and her eyes opened, she picked her head up to look at those red eyes. "F... Feo... I'm... Ok... It looks worse then..." She tried to sit up more but winced, her knees were bruised and her back ached, not to mention her arms from trying to support herself for a moment. "Ow!... it is..."

Raph winced at Feo's words, he couldn't bring himself to look at the angered mixed breed. He knelt down next to the wolf mixed at his feet, and gently turned her over into his arms, cradling her slowly then lifting her with ease.

Artemis winced as she was lifted, more that there was some pressure on her back wounds, but as he held her closer the pain subsided to numbness.

Arthur glared. "What are you doing?!"

Raph shook his head. "This is what he wants isn't it? She is what he came for. My duty is to protect... I think he'll calm down more if I give her to him. Cooperate more... We need them both to find the book right? Well Him being angry isn't going to help anything... I don't want any more blood shed just to see someone bleed." He crossed the room to Feo. "Here." He held his arms out with Artemis in them. "My lord... I... All I've ever wanted was to serve the Mixed breeds' as my father did... But... I... I didn't know that Animals... I thought this was all their fault." He had whispered the last part so that Feo and Artemis could hear. "I... I didn't beat her sir... I'm sorry."

Arthur hissed. "Moron!" Under his breath.
Zach however seemed to sigh in relief as Raph was making the first move towards peace.
However Ace did not seem displeased. "Perhaps it would be better to appeal to his nature on this one, besides Holding her, he wouldn't want to do anything to shake her up too much."

William watches carefully, he was surprised by the mixes actions, but he didn't let it show, he pretended to be watching Feo to make sure he didn't go crazy after so easily ripping off the collar and binds of his wrists.

Sunny came up behind Kai and Rai and smacked them both with her ninja band. "HEY! both of you watch your mouths or I'll wash them out with soap! those are my niece and nephew and if anyone is gonna corrupt them its me!" She smiled some. and trotted away. "LETS GO JAN HUNTING! A HUNTING WE WILL GO A HUNTING WE WILL GO, HI HO THE MERRY OH A JAN HUNTING WE WILL GO!"

Sirvat looked up at Adam. "Mr. Adam sir? I'm hungry."

Fay smiled and took Kyo's hand. "Lets go Ai! Oh to jan!"

Lethe smiled some under her helmet as she saw Raph trying for peace, and trying to comfort the Animal Descendent. But then he smile faded as another thought crossed her mind. what happens if Ace decides that us as guards should do something to harm either of them....we'd have to blow our cover....or listen to her....

Reyson just watched, he felt somewhat bad for Raph and Zack, as he saw the apologetic look on their faces as they realized that they were serving the wrong side...

Petrine took a few steps forward towards Ace and Alaster in case she was needed if the Kitty-mix went on an angry rampage. She was still smirking though for she knew that things had an excellent chance of going their way.

Janaff still lay on the floor sobbing uncontrollably, unable to move because of the pain. "Ai....how could you let them take me....." he muttered through his tears.

Greil threw one of his shoes at the injured bird-mix. "SHUT UP WILL YA, OR I'LL HAVE HIM KNOCK YOU OUT TOO!" he yelled.

Naesala smirked. "Can I?" he asked as he turned to Greil.

Ranulf smiled as Ruki used the blue hair as a mustache. "We should play games!!" he said excitedly, his blue tail swishing around happily. "Whattaya think Adam? Can we play games?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volug sighed..."Well, we could go in as wolves...." he said.

Nailah's ear twitched and her face turned into a scowl. "WE ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT!" she said as she smacked her brother upside the head.

Her eyes opened and looked up into his, a glint of worry that she was making him angry. Her bound hands reached up to stroke his cheek with the back of her hands gently. "Mmm If you want me awake love... Awake I am." She nuzzles his chest gently. "I must be dreaming... my night in furry cute armor is here." She smiled lightly up at him, her nose filled with his scent, her ears twitching to hear his voice. "Mmm This is heaven smack dab in the middle of the monster's lair love... I love you too handsome." Her voice was a little scratchy but it was her. It sounded of a voice that was dry from not having had a drink in a while.

Ace laughed. "Oh we should do this more often, look how soft he is now." She cocked a gun. It was a little single shot she took from her belt. "Someone chain the love kitty's hands so we can be on our way."

Raph blinked a bit at Ace's words, but he was more focused on the Mixed Breed's eyes.

William blinked and tilted his head, he had an urge to tell the two to come back into reality, but that would be acting out of his role.

James walked forward with shackles in his hand. "Ooo Kitty... has his toy back, so how does she like it? Rough and wild or smooth and silky... Or does she like to role play... surely the little whore has to have some fettish." he asks as he reaches for Feo's wrists, it was long enough so he could still hold Artemis.

Arthur blinked at Feo's actions. "She must have him confounded."

Zach smacked his head at Arthur's words.

Sirvat tilted her head. "Buttered noodles?" She asks

Sunny laughed some. "Lets go Fay, Kyo and Ai!" She ran ahead. "Hi ho hi ho its jan saving time we go! All girls and boys pick up your sex toys hi ho hi ho... OOOO it sounds like a sex song, Hi hore, hi hore, its jan smexing time we go! All girls and boys pick up your sex toys hi ho, hi ho hi ho!"

Fay blinked and ran faster to catch up with Sunny.

Aysel sighed "Well this is the group but its been majorly halved since last time.'

((*blink* *Laughing* Uhm. I'm not sure if I want to ask where Sunny's song came from, but its funny! ))

*Kouryou's knuckles were white around the hilt of his sword, his heart breaking as he saw how hurt lady Artemis was. He shook his head eve rso slightly, his eyes flicking light lightning to glare at Ace, his muscles tensing under the stolen Guard's armor*
And there's not a God-damn thing I can do to help her.

~~~~~


"Yes'm..." *Malaki knelt, tilting his head and running his fingers slowly through the dirt, letting his affinity for the earth extend his senses as he 'searched', though he only had a limited range* "Half went...that direction...the other half went the other...which one should we follow? My brother went with the first half, the wind tells me, but I'll follow you."

She murmurs softly as he smiles a little and kisses her forhead. Artemis' ears twitched a bit, she really didn't want to look toward Ace but she knew what the clicking noise of the gun was. She wasn't naive. She voted for continuing to play close to dead in her head. The more she acted out of it, the less on the guard Ace that no good moth... and that no good mother f***ing human desendent would leave her with Feo it seemed.

Ace laughed. "Like I said, help us find the book... She's escaped death too many times for me to leave it too the infections from her injuries and blood loss this time. I don't trust her to die by cutting off her head either... so a bullet through the brain should be sufficient if you don't coroperate...." She blinked and turned to look at Alaster. All she could do is blinke and smack her own forhead. "Anyway... Lets get moving shall we? No time like the present."

William looked down to hide his scow of the gun and Ace's plans. He moved up beside Feo. Just incase Ace got trigger happy, and he wasn't sure how long Feo was gonna be able to carry Artemis by himself. Who knew how far Ace had intension of making them march.

Ace turned and grabbed Alaster's hand. "Lets go nuts for brains, Petrine... Leo, Kaida, I know you're there move your buts to make sure they don't make a run for it." She murmurs. "James make sure they all follow."

James nodded and fell to the back, Arthur following suit.

Raph sighed and stepped to the other side of Feo, Zach coming up beside him. "Good job Raph!" He smiles.
Raph shook his head. "Right now I feel like crap Zach... My brain hurts... I've never not done what Arthur wanted before..."
Zach tilted his head. "Maybe its time he followed the desendent rather then Alaster's brains."

William sighed. "Don't worry Feo... As soon as we're away from them we'll take care her."

Artemis' ear twitched and she blinked as she recognized William's voice talking to Feo.

Sirvat smiled. "Okies." She got up and bounced up and down. "I'm s ure it'll be... really really really good... Play what ruki?"

Sunny laughed and then paused as she saw guards by the castle. "Ok... so lets go in the kitches! cause its so much fun to make your own lubercant... and I"m sure Ai is gonna want to smex him up when we find him."

"Look kid... I don't know where their on their way too.. Hey Athos whats going on?" Aysel asked

Athos turned to her. "Aysel! Lady Artemis was..."
Luna interupted him. " wolf napped and one of the other of the resistance was bird napped!"

Feo looked up slowly. Eyes rose to look at the gun in the other's hand. His reactions were cautious as he raised on hand off of artemis and lifted it somewhat into the air. "Fine then..." He sighed softly as he gave a glance to his friends that were still covered in their fake gear. "I will not let you harm Artemis any further. And I will not try anything stupid to hurt her either. No tricks this time." He bit his lip.

Kyo twitched.."Ne.. Ai i thought cats eat birds not have sex with them!!!!" x.x
Ai glared at Kyo then hissed at him.. "Oh shut it fur ball. Worry about youself and about how you cannot control yourself when you are around Fay. Your little friend is always trying to say hi to her.."
Kyo's face went red. "YOU LITTLE b***h!!!"
"Ne.. your the b***h!" Ai yelled back at him.

Adam spent most of his time trying to keep an eye on the boiling water that way the thing would explode because... knowing his luck it would.

Rai yanked Kai's hand to make sure he didn't get lost from the group because he hand began to just stare off into space. "Keep up KAI!!!" Rai groaned as he pulled the bat away from a patch of flowers.

"Uh.. how about we play tag? Or hide n seek!!!?" Ruki said as he scrached his hand some.. "That could be fun huh? You pick Sirvat!"

((O___O IT LIVES!!!))

Lethe moved up on the other side of Feo and looked towards William, a slight look of unease on her face as they progressed into the underground area.

Reyson stayed slightly behind Feo and Arte, he was looking around at the underground area wondering where exactly they were being taken.

Petrine walked slightly behind Reyson...she was beginning to have a feeling that the 3 guards were a little too 'friendly-ish' with Feo and Arte. She turned to Kaida and whispered: "Can you do me a favor and try to examine the scents of those guards who are following Arte and Feo...I have a suspicion that they might not be on our side....."

Ranulf smiled as Sirvat tagged Ruki and ran off. "You'll have to catch me too!!" he said excitedly as he scampered off in the opposite direction of Sirvat. I never thought I'd be so excited to play with these kids... he found himself thinking.

Jan was now biting his lip trying to fight back the pain and resist from crying out. I can stay strong...for Ai... he repeated this thought in his head as he laid on the floor.

Greil and Naesala sat and took turns reading and watching the injured mix on the floor to make sure he didn't whine or try to get away. Greil smirked and stared at Jan for a moment before speaking. "You better pull yourself together soon.....'cause then we can start helping Lady Ace and the other humans in destroying the animals and other mixes." he sneered. "I'm sure you'll be willing to comply with my demands...." he said as he tossed a look to Naesala who glared down at Jan, smiling evily.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volug continued to watch the castle as he noticed Nailah start to get up. "Where are you going?" he asked his sister.

Nailah swatted him on the head to shush him. "Just follow me", she whispered as she started to make her way around the back of the castle, away from the guards that she could see.

Feo looked down at the feeling of Artemis’s soft lips against his shoulder. He smiled despite there not very good situation. It seemed like things were becoming a little better then normal between them. Glancing back over towards Ace, he couldn’t help but glare at her.
As soon as he felt a hand lay upon his other shoulder, he hissed loudly bearing his teeth. His grip on his lover tightened as he backed up slightly.

“I.. uh…”
“Yes Kyo… Why are you so angry?” Ai grinned a wicked look towards his now rather meek expression. Kyo glared in retaliation before trying to studded some form of excuses to throw the other cat girl as to inform her lightly about the situation.
“Er… well ya see.. uhhhhh Yeah. THEY HAVE OUR FRIENDS!!! LET US NOT STOP TILL WE GET THEM BACK!!” He pointed onward towards the distance, the utter horror was masked behind a determined disposition.

Ruki ran for his life to try and catch them.

Adam let his thought wander off as the water began to boil over the pot…. Curse those thoughts about that sexy human bad a** William. He blushed as he felt like his body heating up, but then soon realized that it was just due to hot water seeping into his unbuttoned sleeve.

Rai continued to beat the hell out of Kai’s skull. “YOU’RE A FAILURE!!!”
“YOU”RE A MOMMA”S BOY!!”…. uh lets just leave it at that… k?
