((..Duuude.. I am chill today....)))
Duri shrugged, lifting up June and put her on his shoulders.
"Yeah, we should get moving as soon as possible." He stood up, and reached into his jacket.
"This thing's been weighing me down for a while now.." He grumbled, pulling out a miniature car. "I'll go outside and start up the engine, you all can pack up and finish any buisness you wanna do. Then we'll leave." He explainned, cracking his knuckles and went outside.

June yawned again, her clothing shifting from the nightgown to jeans and a tank top.
"nya..."

Aleta went back to her room to retrieve her bags. Rafeal was sitting up on the edge of the bed, hunched over with his elbows on his knees, he was stareing at the floor.
"Are you okay?" She walked over to him, and stoked his head. He looked up at her, "Yeah... I'm good enough to get up out of bed." He stood up shakily, and took a deep breath. "So we're leaving?" The day before left him beat and tired, but that did not weaken his will.
Aleta was happy to see he was well again, but still a little worried. A thought crossed her mind, she looked a little grave. "Zethriel wanted me to weatch you die... that is my conclusion. He is going to do everything he can to weaken you and I." She said aloud, "But you probably already knew that."
"yeah, I did." He hesitated to put on a shirt, he didn't like wearing them. He put it on anyway, it was kind of cold this morning, although it was summer. "Its only a matter of time before he begings to figure out the other's weaknesses, and target them."
((Heh... I was the opposite of chill yesterday. I was hyperactive....))

For just a moment, Duriono began to think of June at her correct age, wearing the exact same outfit as the younger and sitting up on his shoulders.
"Heh..." A smirk crossed his lips as he stepped down the stairs.

((Okay, that post just made Duri look like a *****... O.o))
"Yeah, I'm surprised he hasn't tried that already." Aleta left the room with her mate walking groggily behind her. "Me to... he may be insane, but he isin't stupid." Rafeal caught up, and held Aleta's hand.

((>_> It was just a moment...))
Duri sat down at the front stepps, taking June off his shoulders and walkked out into the middle of the road. Placing the toy sized car down he clapped and transmuted it to normal size.
"There, thats over and done with." Duri clapped, sitting on the hood of the car.
Kagura had run off again, over to Surina's workshop. Key close behind.
"Yeah, what is it kid?" She asked, looking down at her when she opened the door.
"I'm leaving now, thanks for all the help." Kagura instantly ran forward, hugging her tightly. Key stared strangly at Surina, an eyebrow raised the entire time.
"No problem kid, Just don't die on me okay?" They pulled away, and Surina patted her on the head. Then she looked over at Key, giving him a blank stare.
"What the hell do you want." She said blandly,
"You look like someone I know..." He began, "Do you have a sister named Anna?"
"Why yes I do. We were split apart awhile back." Surina began, hand on her chin. "You know her?"
"Yeah, I live with her, she's a mercenary. We could get you back together if you'd be willing to pay." Key held out his hand, he wasn't usually paid on his missions, due to being too young. So he took any chance to get paid he could.
"Come back in a few months, I've still got a job to do, Kay kid?" She rubbed his head, "Now run along before you miss your ride."
"Bye!" Kagura waved as they ran back towards the tavern.

((Yeah, I know. Pervert. xD ))
"Yeah, don't underestimate him..." Aleta thought for a moment, but came up with nothing useful to say. She decided to change the subject. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes." He lied. I feel like I'm about to pass out... but I don't want to look weak to Aleta...
"If you say so... if you need anything, just tell me. Don't hide anything from me, okay? Thats bad for relationships." This statement made Rafeal feel guilty. "... No..." He sighed. "I feel like total crap..." Aleta half-smiled, "I can fix that."

Now, Kagura had sprinted all the way back, leaving Key panting heavilly.
"maybe.. I should just stay here and put in an escort request at the nearest guild..." He suggested through his heavy breathing.
"You sure?" Kagura asked, turning around and tilted her her head.
"I think I'm just gonna slow you down.." He sat against a tree to catch his breath.

Aleta and Rafeal approached Duri, they spotted Kagura and Key running around. "Heh... those two. If they did what we think they did... they're in big trouble."
Rafeal laughed, "Yeah, I heard the whole thing! Man, Duri was pissed!"

Duri shrugged, "I'm not so worried about Kagura. Key's the one I'm really worried about." He gestured in their direction.
"Why not just call your friends to come pick you up?" Kagura suggested
"They probably don't even realise I'm gone." Key crossed his arms, looking away.
******
That morning, the mercenaries were all stationed in their apartment. Brig was drinking a soda, sitting next to Bishop who was doing the same.
Mary was flipping through channels on the television while Snipe was laughing at his own jokes as usual.
"Hey Key, could you pass me some more batteries?" She called, taking out the ones that were already in there.
"For the last time I'm not this kid named Key!" A centaur walkked into the room. "I'm on vacation!"
"Hey Key, did you like.. I dunno start working out? You seem as strong as a horse!" Brig leanned forward, staring at the centaur.
"My name's George..." The centaur sighed. "Here's your batteries..." He tossed a pack to Mary.
"Hey Key." Anna walked by, patting the centuar on the head.
"I'm not Key..."

Rafeal noticed the car, "Sweet! We got a new ride?" He opened the door, and got in, Aleta followed. "Anyway... uh, what were we talking about?" He was trying his best to act normal, Aleta wasn't buying it, she was looking through her medicine bag. She shook her head smileing, "What is it with men and cars?"
"I dunno... we just like loud things that go fast?" he shrugged.
"Key... you scared him good. He isn't going to try anything any time soon." Aleta said.

Duri shrugged,
"Actually its the old one with afew tune ups, a new paintjob ect." He rotated his wrist, Kagura and Key approached.
"Hey Boss?" Key began, shaking slightly.
"Is-"
"Can Key come with us?" Kagura jumpped in, cutting Key off by sliding infront of him.
"Uhh...." Duri gave a glazed look at the others, "What do you think?"

"Oh..." Rafeal put his hand on his head. "I didn't recognise it. I am not sitting in the trunk with Chaz again... hey, where is Kyra and Yumi?"
Alet interrupted, "Who cares? They'll find us, and if they don't, it doesn't matter to me." she acknowledged Key, "Why should we leave him behind, he's part of the group now."
Chaz left the tavern, and wandered over to join the others.
((I hope Chaz gets back soon... I would hate to finish it without him, Chaz and Rafeal were building an interesting friendship. :/ Now he doesn't have anybody to hang out with))
