Dante’ Ella Dante

Arriving at the docks with Bromine and the young boy Ella sniffs the ground. Catching the scent of Reina, Ella nods to Bromine who does the same. Ella then straddles off a ways, to be certain the two were still following, and then begins to run. She runs through the village and into a narrow passage. Coming through said passage she sees a crowd of people. Before long a boy emerges from the crowd as a figure rises into the air from the center of the crowd. It delicately lands before the boy facing the three approaching group. “Reina Huiden. You left me behind.” “Ella? How’s he here? Didn’t I slit his throat?”

Reina Huiden

Reina stands poised in front of Akou. She hears Ella speak to her telepathically and replies. The boy behind her seems to look her up and down which displeases Reina. “Infinite Armor.” mutters Reina as the orbs on her wrists light up and absorb her armor back into them. All eyes on her Reina begins walking over to the two dogs and boy. Before Reina can get close to them the dog snarls at her angrily. Ella looks at Reina and speaks to her. “That dog is the companion of this boy, Tinou of the Inuzuka Clan. I was burying Tinou when he suddenly woke up. His wound had healed and he was alive once more.” “You should have allowed him to wash up. He’s so unkept.”

Akou Ichazuki

Akou watches as Reina talks to the on coming people. When Reina finishes speaking, apparently to herself, Akou speaks. “Reina. Why not let him wash up in our room?” asks Akou as Reina looks at him. She shrugs and turns to face the crowd, her short wavy hair flailing as she does. Upon Reina’s lower back is a symbol resembling a seal on her back. Most likely from her Beast Seal but possibly from her Orochi Power as well. Akou watches her face the crowd staring at the symbol. “Alright, disperse.” calls out Reina as everyone in the crowd begin to split clearing up the path once more. She then turns back around and looks at the three standing off in the distance. “Follow me. I’ll take you where you all can rest.”

Dante’ Ella Dante

In the hall Ella speaks with Bromine about Reina and Tinou’s resurrection. “Reina only killed Tinou because she had to you know. You can feel it can’t you? That she isn’t your enemy.” “I presume you figured that from when I willingly followed you. Yes, my instincts say she is not me and Tinou’s enemy. But Tinou doesn’t know any better. He’s high strung and doesn’t quite know how to trust his instincts yet.” “But he’s nineteen, correct?” “Yes but…” “He should have a handle on his instincts by now. He’s of age to be able to trust someone besides himself. Therefore, he can trust his instincts. Don’t baby him or he’ll become weak.” Bromine nods as a ruckus is heard from the room next to them.

Reina Huiden

Reina sits contently in her arm chair, staring at the bathroom door. “It won’t be long before he remembers. It took Ella less time but he shall soon remember who I am.” mumbles Reina as the door opens. In the doorway stands a young underdressed boy. Upon him is a green shirt with the words “I Love Leaf!” and tan shorts with many pockets. Upon his feet are white socks and nothing more. The boy’s short, brown hair flows down his cheeks and stops short of his chin. The boy yells something then begins to charge at Reina with the intent to strike her. She stands slowly and quickly lifts her right leg off the ground. She spins a full three hundred sixty degrees and kicks Tinou across the face. She then crouches atop him, pinning him to the floor.

Akou Ichazuki

Downstairs in the hotel lobby Akou sits in the middle of the floor. Before him is a suitcase half opened. He begins rustling through the box before pulling out: a bottle of powder, that he got from the hotel room, and a black eye liner pencil. The woman at the desk, across from the room watches him a while before motioning from her desk. Coming up behind him she taps his shoulder gently. “Little boy, where is your mother?” asks the woman turning him across. She then screams and leaps backwards after taking time to look at Akou’s face. Akou stands and looks at the woman: bags under his eyes, face pale, and a look similar to a brain dead zombie. “Get away from me! Don’t touch me! What’s wrong with you?” “I’m sick.” mumbles Akou outstretching his arms to the frightened woman atop the checkout counter. She hollers and screams a while before AKou begins laughing loudly, “Got you!”

Dante’ Ella Dante

Ella looks the door over and finds a weak spot. She then rams the door with her head, knocking it open. It wasn’t until then that she noticed that the door wasn’t locked and could have easily been pushed open. Despite that she keeps her cool and enters, Bromine close behind. She looks at Reina atop Tinou and smirks slightly. Seeing Tinou push Reina back and then glare at her Ella snarls. Tinou seemed to take note of her presence which didn’t phase her one bit. Ella quickly rushes over to Reina and blocks Tinou’s view of her. At the same time Bromine wanders over to his training and protects him as well.

14/**

Reina Huiden

Reina allows Tinou to push her back and looks at her smiling. She gets to her feet as Ella stands before her facing both the glaring Tinou and calm Bromine. “There’s no need to fight. A life was taken for a life. You killed Hishinaru and I killed you. Justice was served. You want to come at me again like before and I’ll kill you again. But this time, you’ll stay dead.” states Reina as she starts to leave. “Come on Ella. You, Akou, and I are going into the forest to train. You two want to end this hopeless fight then come along too. If not then try not to screw up this room. This is a hotel not a vengeance party house or some crap like that.” concludes Reina leaving.

Akou Ichazuki

Akou wipes the crud from his face and flashes the woman on the counter a huge smile. Suddenly he hears Reina coming down the stairs and returns to his suit case. “Where are we going?” “We’re going to train. You two didn’t spend much time in the Academy and need some tutoring to be in my team. Let’s go.” replies Reina walking as Ella follows. Akou trot behind Ella as the three of them exit the building. Later on, in the forest, the three sit on rocks and wait. “Why are we waiting?” “For Tinou and Bromine I said.” “How do you know they’ll come?” “I just know Ella.” replies Reina as Akou sighs then lays back atop his rocky chair.

Dante’ Ella Dante

Ella looks at Reina, still underdressed and speaks, “Reina. You should head back and put something on. You’re going to attract perverts.” “I didn’t know you cared.” replies Reina leaping from her rock. “What else are teammates and friends for?” replies Ella leaping from her spot on the rock behind Akou. Reina walks into the center of the dense forest path facing Ella. Though friends, Ella and Reina found that fighting one another was rather enjoyable. Nowadays the two find the most silly things to fight over just to get things started. Ella smiles at Reina knowing what is happening and readies herself to fight. “Go Reina!” cheers Akou from the side lines as Ella looks at him as if he were a traitor.

15/**

Reina Huiden

Reina stands looking at Ella as she her. Akou cheers her on from the sidelines as she grins happily. “He likes me best you know.” “So, he’s ten.” “Jealous?” “No.” replies Ella as Reina charges towards Ella. “Only regular skills so you can be ready to train with the others after you lose!” yells Reina stopping short of Ella. She then front flips into the air, her left leg raised up high. She begins to bring it down as the brush rustles a little. Ella steps to the side as Reina lands where she once stood. She peers over at the brush to see Tinou and Bromine come through slowly. "So you're going to train huh? So be it. I won't go easy on either of you."

Akou Ichazuki

Bored with waiting Akou looks around the area. He takes in the darkening area. The warm Waning Crescent Moon hanging high in the sky reminded him of home. Nightly in the orphanage young Akou would watch the moon change in shape and color. One of the reasons he liked paint so much. He wanted to be like the inconstant moon. To change face on nonconsecutive nights. He sudddenly snaps out of thought to see Reina and Ella stare one another down. He cheers on Reina when he notices the bushes rustle gently. "Hi Tinou... Bromine. We've been waiting forever for you to get here." states Akou smiling happily.
