"Yeah, another time," Gear promised, with a nod. Hotstreak would no doubt be just as unwilling to share, but he'd just make sure the hot head wasn't around...
"Kinda, a bit," Etna replied, with a shrug. "I mean, our situations are pretty damn different, but the personalities are actually kinda close."
"There are other means of acquiring a new ship," Kain replied. "We could purchase one, hire a captain, or simply steal one. However, I never said I wasn't going to assist."

"Hmm, that's good. About what darling?" Temari asked him as she smirked up at him.
"Well, there seems to be talk about finding a ship, since the other one is well...yeah." Kirara said, changing the subject quickly. Her black ears flicked back and forth on her head as she picked up the conversation that the elder, veterans of the group were speaking of. "Do you think that we'll need to go save Vyse, if he's in any danger?" She asked out loud.
Hitomi shrugged her shoulders before looking over at the other group, which was at least a good 10 yards away. "I dunno. But if we're all just goin' to move out and search for the guy, I'd better grab Hotstreak before we leave him behind..." She muttered, cocking her head to the left until a satisfying crack could be heard, which caused her to sigh with relief.

"Hey, if we can, why wouldn't we save the others?" Gear asked. It seemed like Hitomi was determined to be the one to go get Hotstreak... Although he wanted to stop her from doing so, it just didn't seem like a good idea to try and stop her. "Just... keep your guard up, alright?"
Hotstreak had traveled far enough to where he couldn't hear the group anymore, not realizing there was a chance he'd be left behind. He'd created a second clearing, of sorts, by blowing up and burning down at least a dozen trees. After he'd gotten the worst of his anger out of his system, he sat down on the trunk of a tree he'd simply knocked over, watching the fires he'd started. He was pretty much surrounded by flames, but it was more comforting than anything.

Minato nodded "Well then if thats the case shes plotting something. hmmm you know that Jack guy didnt get as angry as i had hoped.... what do you think it takes to make him mad?"
Link sighed "buying, or stealing one is too boring this one will be fun and..... im sure there is bound to be a human or two you can..... show your vampire skills to along the way" he smirked

"Probably something that actually matters," Etna replied. "Not the silly little pranks we pull, but something that would really injure someone's heart..."
"Let me make it clear now that I am not disagreeing with any action the group decides to take," Kain replied. "I will assist as much as I am needed, in hopes it will get me returned to Nosgoth that much sooner."
"In short, he doesn't care what we do; he's just along for the ride," Jack again felt the need to translate.
"You have a very blunt and ineloquent way of speaking..."

[[Sorry for not responding sooner, my dad and I started to wash his car and let's just say: The car wasn't the only thing getting washed wink xd LOL.]]
"I always do." Hitomi chimed happily as she laughed, winking at the two of them playfully. "I'll be back in a jiffy with the big goof, you just watch!" She then clasped her hands together for a moment, her pendant glowing a light violet color before she began to run in the direction he stormed off in. As she continued to run, she began to smell the burning of firewood as well as the heat being given off by a few dozen burning trees. In the center, she found the red-head she was searching for. "Hey bubba." She said in a cool tone as she maneuvered her way through the burning foliage before standing before him, a smirk being drawn upon her lips. "You okay?"
As Kirara watched her go, she sighed, shaking her head slowly before glancing over at Gear. "She has it bad for this one." She noted softly.

((lol))
For several seconds, Gear seemed stunned, simply staring off after Hitomi as she vanished into the treeline. Then, a full five seconds after Kirara had commented, he spoke up. "'Big goof'?" he questioned, in a disbelieving voice. "I think our efforts might be a bit 'too little, too late'..."
Hotstreak looked up, appearing confused for a moment before emotion was replaced with his usual mild scowl. "What are you doin' way out here?" he asked. Realizing there were several fires going on around them, he also asked, "Isn't this too hot for you?"

Link smirked "Thats the spirit Kain" he said as he looked over to jack "well, then, now that we are all here camping lets make something to eat then we can rest and head out. im sure the whole group is hungry after the few hours we have been here. lets go get some wood"
Minato nodded "Yea . well i guess theres nothing we can do to piss him off... not even painting his robots worked much"
Inuyasha looked at Temari "just stuff. like how the kids will be when they are older and how crazy they might drive me"

Kain simply nodded. He hadn't actually been arguing, just stating his opinions, but there was no need to clarify that.
"Good idea, Long Ears," Jack teased, nodding. "Probably should go the other way that Hotstreak did; don't want to go getting firewood that's already on fire, do we?"
"Well, he did find out about that when there was more important stuff going on," Etna reminded. "Probably won't bug him much this far after the fact if we reminded him, though."

"Hmm, well, that's natural. Now just imagine having another one or two being added to that number." Temari said with a gentle laugh, grinning all the while.
Kirara smirked, placing her hands behind her back. "I could've told you that Gear..." She beamed before she giggled, patting his back before she felt something metallic hit her hand. It was his backpack. "What on Earth is this monstrosity?" She asked out loud, not trying to offend by saying that.
Hitomi glanced around for a moment at all the fires before she shrugged her shoulders. "It just feels like the humidity I feel when in the auditorium for an assembly." She replied before thinking of a way to answer his first question. "I came for you silly. If you thought I would just let you run away from me like that, you've got another thing comin'." She told him with a chuckle, smirking all the while.

"Well, I guess sometimes people just gotta figure things out for themselves," Gear replied, with a shrug. "If it's illogical, I've got a hard time figuring out what exactly is going through other people's minds." Hearing her discover Backpack was pretty amusing, though. "That's Backpack," Gear replied, sounding proud. "He's my favorite invention. Hey, Backpack, why don't you say hello to Kirara?"
At Gear's words, the robot sprang to life, its legs extending so it could walk down his back to the ground. The camera that functioned as a sort of eye extended out, allowing Backpack to look around. It looked up to Kirara, but didn't make any sounds aside from the whir of the mechanics as it moved.
"I actually didn't give him his own voice program..." Gear admitted. "I just communicate with him through the other electronics I've got on me, mostly in my helmet."
Hotstreak's face shifted back into one of slight confusion. "...What had you so wigged out before, then?" he asked, seemingly out of nowhere. He knew all about acting different than you really felt, and could usually tell when someone was doing the same. This really didn't seem like one of those times; she wasn't afraid of him. So if Hitomi wasn't afraid of him, than what was it that had scared her...?

Kirara bent down so she supported herself on the balls of her feet, staring down at the mechanical machine curiously. She cocked her head to one side as she moved out a index finger to touch its camera, thinking it was really its eye or something. "You made this little thing?" She asked out loud once more, her ears picking up the sound of its inner workings easily.
"Uhh," Hitomi began as she moved one hand to her cheek, scratching it with a nervous chuckle. "It wasn't like I was scared of you, I'm starting to get used to your sudden outbursts 'n all. It's more like seeing Kirara's face after you did so. She looked like she was gonna kill you...so, that's what got me freaked. That's all."

Backpack recoiled just slightly at the touch, then set about to get a better look at Kirara. It circled her, seeming almost genuinely curios as it got a full-scan.
"Uh-huh. Pretty cool, isn't he?" Gear asked, watching his creation. "He was actually one of the first several things I made after I started getting my super-intelligence. Didn't realize what was goin' on with me 'til after he was done, even."
"That's it?" Hotstreak asked, sounding incredulous. "I get a death-glare, and it bothered you that much?" He had gotten those for pretty much as long as he could remember, so actually being frightened by just a glare seemed alien to him.

Kirara watched it carefully, moving around in a cat-like fashion, not showing her back to the machine out of pure animal instinct. "Hm, that's a very interesting tale Gear-kun." She said as she sniffed at Backpack, her tails standing in end slightly. "Will this thing try to attack me?"
Oh yeah, this was definitely a sweatdrop moment. "Um, think of it this way. She is a demon, not just another metahuman like you and Gear. In her crazed form, like I saw Temari get into against that machine guy awhile back, she could just go bizzerk. Like, she could change into her beast form and just tear you limb from limb. And in all honesty, I didn't want that to happen to you, Hotstreak..." She told him with a slight sigh, rubbing the back of her neck as she looked away from him for a moment, biting the inside of her cheek nervously.

"Hahhah, no, of course not!" Gear replied, unable to help the laugh. "He is a robot, Kirara, and he only does what I tell him to. But, if he's creepin' you out, I can always have him get back on my back," he offered.
"You were... worried about me?" Hotstreak asked, looking more shocked than anything. She had looked scared out of her mind... and it was for him? Because she thought he was going to get hurt? "W-Well, you shouldn'ta been," he added, looking back at one of the fires. "You don't know all the different Bang Babies, some of 'em aren't like me or Gear or Static. There's one kid that basically became a werewolf, an' there's a dog that got gassed, too. One girl got turned into a bird monster, even. I couldda handled it."
