Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Cato, what else do we need here before we can depart...?" Kein asked lazily as he had his arms folded behind his head with his hands holding onto his head lightly. "I believe we're just about done. However, I feel like heading to one more stop...a small store that sells souvenirs along with decorations." Carto answered in his usual firm serious voice.

"Hm, alright. I can go ahead and get more treats.Kinda craving some right now." Kein replied with a small smirk revealing on his lips while his Luxray walked beside him with a death glare towards everyone who was near them as a warning that they were not a common group to deal with.Aiko, Cato's Ampharos was walking calmly beside Cato with a small smile placed on her lips as she seemed to enjoy their surroundings"By 'getting' you refer to stealing..?" Cato asked not looking over at the other as he viewed his list of supplies that were yet to be purchased. "Don't get into too much trouble, our commander Haru Sazuki will not be pleased." Cato warned as they made their way into the rather small store.

Only took them a few minutes before Kein and his Luxray were in a argument with the owner of the store.Cato ignored his surrounding and closely observed the toy figures as he tried to predict what Haru would find to his liking. "This one seems to be alright.." Cato whispered to himself as he stood up straight and walked over to the cashier who was slightly frighten by his panther and his Luxray. "Mind if i purchase this." he asked placing the object at the center along with small snacks for his Pokemon and Kein's.Kein walked out with stolen candies and a few pokeballs for later use, Cato followed behind him with his purchase with a small sigh escape his lips. 'Sometimes i wonder when he'll grow up' he thought.

Kein was grinning the whole way till they came to a stop right outside Edo City at the fields. "Cato, cheer up. It was only a few..plus i got them for you." Kein teased as he when over and kiss Cato quickly on the cheek and sat down on the ground. "So any new tasks Cato? I'm rather bored.." Kein asked popping a small ball of bubble gum into his mouth.

"None at the moment, other then reporting back to Haru Sazuki for further instructions." Cato answered viewing his list as he ignored the fact Kein kissed him on the cheek. He was already use to the other fooling around and trying to flirt just to get away with things.

"Then we're out of here. Let meet up with our commander and ask for further instructions then.Question is..where exactly is our commander...? he travels a lot." Kein asked."I believe our commander will arrive here in no time, this is one of his favorite Cities." Cato replied lastly as he sat down with Kein while their Pokemon quietly sat next to each other while they wait.

Cato stood up properly and quickly while Kein took his time to stand up and stretched out with a yawn as Cato made his way towards their commander.

"Yes, we have finished out tasks a while ago and were resting for further instructions." Cato answered firmly. Kein walked over and rested an arm on Cato's shoulder "Looking rather nice as always Sazuki." Kein added with a piece of bubble gum still placed in his mouth and a small grin placed on his lips. Kein was straight forward no matter how inappropriate it was to comment their commander.

Kein's Luxray shook his head in disappointment at Kein's choice in words and hit the male with his tail making Kein glare over. "Thank you Lux." Cato said simply not shifting his attention away from Haru. "Also, you've asked me to pick out a small object out of all the ones I've currently came across.I believe you haven't came across this particular one." Cato advice holding out the small toy figure on the palm of his hand while Haru quietly took hold of it to observe it. "So all we have to do is spy on these new comers and greet them the way we usually do if they decide to misbehave? We wont have a problem then." Kein asked looking over to Haru and then back to Lux who nodded slightly with his bright yellow eyes placed directly back to Kein.

"Alright, thank you for waiting here..for trying to track me down you chose well to stick around in Edo for a while longer." Haru replied facing Cato while holding the figure lightly in his hand.

As Haru observed the figure he had to admit he hasn't came across that one yet. "Correct...as usual Cato." Haru added before placing it inside the small bag hidden in his kimono.

Before he could say anything more Haru heard someone call out to him and turned to face him along with his spies doing the same. "What is it? distressing news..." Haru asked and slowly fell into a puzzled tone in his voice at whatever the other was going to advise him of.

Haru and his spies stood motionless as they heard the latest news. Upon hearing two of his own grunts quitting Haru couldn't help but feel annoyed by the matter and crossed his arms trying to keep calm.

"..This is why the lower class is nothing but backstabbers." Haru stated simply with narrowed eyes. "I assume we want them assassinated then? anyone in Cattivita can be my guest and go ahead. I rather bother with more important issues then hunt down useless animals. " Haru continued. "Those two were too soft to belong to Cattivita to begin with.." he added.

After a short pause Haru shifted his attention over towards his spies and they quickly nodded before vanishing without having to say a word. "Anything else i must know about?" Haru asked firmly.

Haru was completely irritated by the fact that two grunts and under him leaving at the same time will make him look like a fool for the rest of the commanders.

Sighing he looked over towards Lio who began to speak again following by approaching him with a small package for him. Without another word Haru looked up from Lio to the package and took hold of it carefully.

Quietly opening the package to reveal the item, Haru's mood soften and with his spare hand he reached out to hold the handcrafted figure. "..Why the sudden gift" Haru asked trying to keep his strict tone in place before he ended up looking more of a fool for one day.

Haru gave the other his full attention as Lio explained the meaning behind the gift and couldn't help but feel somewhat glad to hear it from someone.

Tilting his head down slightly while facing away from the others eyes. He stood quiet unable to think of what to react or reply with as he felt himself breaking a little from his serious expression.

The mention of Lio admitting to him about being part of Cattivita brightening his life he thought about it for a while and knew better then to keep looking soft and easily pulled by small gifts. "Thank you..surprised you even remembered and took the time to get me something." Haru replied finally looking up to Lio.

Haru continued to listen closely at the other go on about remembering him and didn't want to get any of it into his head. It was enough for Haru to weaken in front of someone because of a simple compliment.

"...Alright, see you later..Lio" Haru replied softly and turned away to head back with Zangoose as he held the figure rather tightly against his hands. Zangoose noticed the mood of Haru going through a confusing manner.He shook his head and looked back at Lio for a last glance before following after Haru.

'Precious of them all..' Haru thought with a small uneasy expression escape slightly,as he still thought back to that simple word. "Lets leave." Haru ordered summoning salamence out to leave quickly not wanting to spend another second near the other.
