Angela shot a furious glare in Des' direction. "Bloody idiot." This wouldn't have happened if they'd let her sign the contract in the first place. "Are you going to be alright?" she asked, biting her lip. "Is there anything I can do to help you?
**
((Des shall wait on Zen before he does anything else))

"Payment of what exactly?" Zen demanded as he sat up, he used the purr in his voice to emphasize his high annoyance. He felt fine, pissed and soaked in blood (literally and figuratively), but fine.
His eyes were glowing on their own, since he was unable to turn that off in Kall, and proceeded to check his surroundings.
It took him a while to notice his own pool of blood and the odd symbols painted on the floor.
"apparently they needed a soul to heal you..." Asaiyo replied, wanting to shout a million questions at the red head.
"The HELL you did?...." Zen shouted, with less power than Atra but more than a normal human voice, but then he looked down at himself and his clothes...

"And they wouldn't have had to forcibly rip anything out Akutenshi if you'd let me use mine," Angela said, standing and glaring at Des.
"I couldn't let you do that," Des said.
"Why the hell not?" she asked. "It was my choice and look what happened because you were determined to make it for me!"

"You'll do no such thing on my behalf!" Zen tried not to scream, but was looking at himself still. "Now if you excuse me...." He ran off down the halls in a sprint, rather uncomfortable with his soiled clothes which were dripping all over.
"He's running off again!" The Prince shouted, stating the obvious.
"I can restore your soul later Akutenshi..." Ky was saying when the red head awkwardly fled...

Akutenshi shook his head. "I'll be fine. Just need to rest for a while. Just one thing, though," he muttered. "No more damned shouting." When Ky offered to restore his soul, he shook his head again. "That would be in violation of the contract and you'd die," he told her. "I can live perfectly fine with a piece missing."

Angela flinched slightly when Zen shouted and ran off but damnit, she wanted to yell at him for getting himself nearly killed so she jumped up the moment she heard Aku assure them he'd be alright and bolted after Zen.
She caught sight of him sprinting down the halls and chased him. "Zen! Zen, wait, damnit!"
**
Des glared at Aku and huffed an annoyed sigh. "Maybe we can find a quiet place for him to rest."
At least his technique worked. Even if Des detested the man, he had to admit that he'd kept his word and even ended up suffering for someone elses sake. That was something that deserved a modicum of respect.

Zen bolted straight to one of the holy water fountains across the floor. He went across a narrow bridge under a flow of clean water in a big room opposite the healing table ward.
He just wanted the blood off, even if it meant looking like a moron and being soaking wet.
He pulled off his three layers of shirt, which took most the goo, and then noticed Angela was chasing him.
"I just.... I need to clean up. I'm sorry" He mumbled like a kid.

Her frustration evaporated the moment he spoke and she forgot that she was chasing him in order to hit him and scream things at him.
"I..." she covered her eyes with her hands, shocked at the amount of relief flooding her. "I'm just glad you're alright," she told him. "I was so frightened when I saw you...I don't think I've ever been that frightened before."

By this time, Akutenshi had managed to stop panting, and the wound on his forehead had stopped bleeding on it's own. There was still a few streaks of blood running down his face, though, yet he didn't care. Forcing himself to stand (though he nearly lost his balance), he said, "Wherever quiet is, take me there." To himself, he muttered, "Damned headache."
Toshi rolled his eyes. "Stop being stubborn and accept help already."
Akutenshi laughed slightly. "Like hell."

"I'm sorry I scared you. It's part of the reason why I didn't tell you really who I was." Zen tossed his shirt in the fountain for a good soak, came over to Angela and put a hand on her shoulder. He'd give her a hug, but getting blood on her too would be.... weird...

Angela hesitated and then embraced him. "I don't care who you really are, Zen. I was frightened because I thought you were going to die. That is the only reason." She squeezed her eyes shut. Why were men so dense?
What was she even doing? She didn't really even know anymore.
**
Des looked at Ky. "Is there somewhere quiet he can rest?"
Quiet and out of my sight.

"Yes, it's a couple floors down though, shall I show you how to get there?" Ky asked Akutenshi.
"You know, if you feel more up to it we could go find your friend." She said to Des, while watching Asaiyo wander off looking for Zen.
Zensekai hugged Angela to him closely.
"I'm fine, though I'm rather useless for now. Used up the last of my power saving Ky from Asaiyo's father... Lets get back to the others shall we?" He acted like his usual hyper self, even though he wasn't at all.

"I was just about suggest that," Des said. "I'm worried about them. I don't even know if I'll be able to find them all but I want to try."
**
Angela winced slightly when he hugged her but she didn't let go even though her back was still hurting. "I used just about everything I have defeating that idiot from the grey twelve," she said. She looked up at him. "I was a little sad you weren't there to see. Though I probably ended up hurting myself just as bad."
She sighed.
"Yeah, I guess we should get back. I'm...really glad you're alright."

"Atra told me about it. I'll poof us back." Zen said, and did just that a second later.
When they got there he wasn't half naked, but fully dressed with fresh clothes--more to his normal style.
He made sure to pick a cloak with seals on it this time, and a jacket made of something with holy metal thread.
No need to hide who he was, so he was wearing one of his favorite capes with his name embroidered on the collar in his language.
Ky took him to the elevator across the room, turned it on and got inside the glass tube.
"It's floor 6..." She said and pushed a button, which took them down and to an enitire dormitory wing.
"Pick a room and have a nice rest." Ky smiled, teleporting back up to Des to save time, Zen was there when she got back and looking more like himself.
"Where are they do you think?" She asked Des. "You, I and Toshi ought to go, the others are in no condition..."
