"Nope! We dont need anything else. We never did, its just that you humans Gabriel... just needed to rest. Keh! Why cant you all just keep going anyhow? Why are humans so-" Once again Gabriel shut him up.

"Whos here? Whatre you afraid of?" Kitsune said to Gabriel.

"Well, anyways, pack your stuff, or whatever. We're leaving" said Kitsune as he walked out of the door, tripping over the man's head (who he knocked down not to long ago)

"Gabriel? Gabriel! Try to relax!" she said, looking at the pulsing scar and feeling the sudden wind blow around the room.

There is something here... Lena gently knelt down on the ground, and started to chant, murmuring softly as Gabriel shouted in pain, seeing a blood red cloud swirl around him, but a barrier was put up, making the cloud even more aggrivated than before. Lena's barrier had worked...so this monster powers from its enemies? she thought to herself, still chanting while the barrier prevented anything to Gabriel while Kitsune tried slashing the cloud with his sword.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune only turned around to realize Gabriel was in pain.

"What now?!" he sensed the aura over his wound.

He immidiatley begain slashing away at the cloud.

What is this?...

It started to break apart, but not for long, it put itself back together.

"Dammit! Looks like we'd need a purification spell here. As soon as I slash."

He brang down a heavy blow on the cloud...

[Gabe Puratekuta]

"What the frell!?!?!" Gaabriel was surprised by the sudden events. What's going on!?! Did.........Steel Samurai do this to me.....?

[~Light Goddess~]

"What the frell!?!?!" Gaabriel was surprised by the sudden events. What's going on!?! Did.........Steel Samurai do this to me.....?

After the cloud had finally drifted away, Lena quickly got up and put her hands on Gabriel's shoulers.

"Is somebody against you?" She said, seeing that the scar had gone down and he had calmed back down.

[Mystic Kitsune]

"You take care of him. I need to go get my blade back..." He said while running off following Ken's scent...

Dammit...this is why I need my new blade! Instead of resorting to this cursed blade...

He found Ken still sleeping soundly, saw his blade, grabbed it, and ran back to Gabriel.

"Is he alright?" He said to Lena.

[~Light Goddess~]

"I think so. He'll need to rest for a bit until he gathers up his strength. Whoever did this wanted to stall us from leaving so soon...I'll head back into town to get some items." She said, forgetting her cloak hanging near the door and running down the hallway.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

"No. Why would there be? And why would an old wound act in such a way?" Suddenly, Gabriel fell to his knees in pain. The wounds on his leg, side and shoulder started to glow, as well as the one on his neck. "Wh-Wh-What's going on!?!" There was a bright flash of light from the wounds that engulfed the azure-haired teenager.


When the light faded, Gabriel, once again a woman, was on hr hands and knees, panting. SHe then sat up and looked down at herself. "Wh-What!?! My cursed form activated without cold water!?!"

[Mystic Kitsune]

"...what the hell?" Kitsune was stunned when he saw the transformation happen right in front of his eyes.

He was very confused now. For him, humans were the most confusing type of creature, and now, they always will be.

He was to busy wondering what was going on, but he grabbed Lena's cloak as a reminder to give it to her.

"...Gabriel...um...You...I mean we should...lets go." Said Kitsune lost for words.

He put Motoko on his back, and proceeded out to the hall.

"Keh! She can still sleep? Amazing. She never ceases to surpise me."

"Gabriel, seeing as youre troubled, lets go get Ken together, then we can go meet up with Lena who will hopefully be back by then..."

[Gabe Puratekuta]

"Hey, I've got clothes on, you know!!" Gabriel shouted. Then remembering her own burnoose, she hung Lena's back and put hers back on. "I was going to tell everyone about Motoko's 'birth', so to speak, but everyone went to bed too early. Plus I was too busy carrying two bodies up those stairs."

[Mystic Kitsune]

While running down the hall, Kitsune responded to Gabriel without looking at him,

"Sleep? It was you who went to sleep! I was outside, dammit!"

He finally reached Ken's room.

"Hoi Ken! Wake up! Wake up!" Kitsune kept shaking him with his one free arm while he was supporting the sleeping Motoko with his other arm.

Turning to Gabriel, he said "If he doesnt wake up, Im going to have to carry him too."

He also remembered Ayden. Dammit...but...where is he?

[Ken the Wandering Soul]

"Mmm, I'm awake..." Ken mumbled.

The boy tumbled out of bed, grabbing his tunic and putting it on along with the rest of his clothing that he took off the night before.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

"(He's perfect!)" Gabriel then ran into the hallway and into Ayden's room. "Ayden, get up. We're going to leave soon." She then decided on something. "Once you're ready, come to my room. I'll tell you a secret about myself then."

[Mystic Kitsune]

"Perfect? Whos perfect?" Said Kitsune as Gabriel was running out the door.

"Ken, you should go check where Lena went, Ill go follow Gabe."

[Ken the Wandering Soul]

"Wait, what? Where did Lena go?" Ken asked, trying to process all the information he was suddenly given.

He got up on his feet, grabbing his sword and putting it in its sheath.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

She then ran to Germanlink's room. "Up-and-at-em, GL!! Get ready to leave and go to my room. I've got something to tell you all." She then ran out of his room and back into hers. And now to wait. She then sat on the floor and meditated

[Mystic Kitsune]

"She went to the town. Gabriel, you go get ...oh wait, he already did. Come on Ken!" He ran toward the stairs motioning Ken to follow him.

Still holding Motoko, he proceeded to the lower floor. Then he remembered, Gabriel!

He told the poor confused Ken that they must go back to Gabriel, and ran back to the room...

"Gabriel!"

[Ken the Wandering Soul]

Ken followed Kitsune, stumbling a little bit down the stairs, then following him back up the stairs. He was waking up some more from the sudden excercise, but he was still not quite awake.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

She opened her eyes. "Yes?"

[Mystic Kitsune]

"You were going to tell me. Or us, about Motoko, where did she come from?" He paused for a second,

"...and how the hell can she sleep so soundly?"

Ken stumbled into the doorway. Still trying to wake up,

"Keh! You shouldve listened when I said you should sleep early!"

[Gabe Puratekuta]

"Yes, but not until everyone is here." Her reply had made Kitsune a little annoyed. "Just sit down and wait for Lena."

[Mystic Kitsune]

"Keh! Just a minute ago we had a panic attack, and now youre telling me settle down?"

He sighed and sat down cross legged with Motoko on his lap. He noticed Ken dozing off near the door...

[Gabe Puratekuta]

"As far as I can see, the only cause for panic was the sudden 'change in me'." She then eyed Kitsune with a smile. "But there seems to be a different kind of 'problem' brewing." Noticing that Kitsune's blushing, she laughed. "But there is one thing I can tell you right now. When we're close to the Kaze-Dao, she should wake up."

[~Light Goddess~]

Lena finally rushed through the door, her hair swaying as she ran, and then knelt down beside Gabriel (who now was a girl). She carried a bag along with her.

"You changed? But how? Anyways, here I've brought you some herbs. These two should make you feel much better." She handed the two stems of herbs to Gabriel who ate them.

"I also picked up some other things for our way to Forsaken Fortress. What have I missed?"

(I was out quickly to get something and then I came back, sorry guys!)

[Mystic Kitsune]

"When we get close to the Kaze-Dao..." Kitsune was still pondering. Would this blade accept him?

Keh, I guess we'll see when the time comes...

He then noticed his sligh blush, and that Gabriel was looking at him in a funny way.

"Whats that look for? Keh! Shes simply on my lap, thats all!"

Kitsune then looked down at her, and remained calm.

I do feel some kind of strange feeling when Im around her though...she makes me feel better...and warm inside...

Lena then ran into the room.

"Hey. Great youre back." He turned to Gabriel. "Now can you explain the story?"

[Ken the Wandering Soul]

Ken managed to pull himself together as Lena walked in. He listened intently, realizing that this was about their journey.

[~Light Goddess~]

Before Gabriel could answer, Lena looked over at Kitsune, who looked like he was deep in thought and was blushing as he held the girl.

"Why are you blushing, Kitsune?"she asked, somewhat giggling.

[Mystic Kitsune]

"Shut up! I-Im not blushing!" He set motoko down next to him. His slight blush was gone for now.

Then her head leaned on his shoulder;

and it happened again...

"...keh..."

[Ken the Wandering Soul]

During the small distraction, Ken sat down on the floor cross-legged. He grinned at Kitsune's reaction to Motoko.

^He may act tough,^ Ken thought to himself, ^But I know he has a real soft side to him.^

[Paladin Anthony]

Ayden walked into the room where he had seen and heard the rest of the group gather. His hair was disheveled, he didn't have his shirt or overcoat on. The scars on his chest, gathered over decades of fighting thanks to Aiden, were blatently visable.

He was completely unnacustom to the etiquette he probably should have followed, but Ayden was still perplexed. Gaberial's message had been beyond cryptic, and the fact that he was no where near awake made it worse.

Ayden sat cross-legged, but was obviously not quite all there yet. As he emerged from the mirk of sleep, he noticed Kitsune's blush, but the reason didn't register. He shrugged it off and simply sat in his dazed state till something important happened. ^Gah, first time sleeping in a bed and it's like a drug. I can't wake up... that was too good... ^Ayden shook the thoughts from his head.
