"Oh really?" A bellow voice was heard as the creature slammed down in front of them. It was Mykola who had just so happened to 'stroll' around town when he heard of thieves running around here. Himiko was now rushing at them after Akio was down on the ground, dizzy. Seeing her partner done and hurt like that, almost made her....pretty damn angry. For that she used Rock Smash (They can learn it) to get Liepard and Golbat to stop moving. She then rushed at Liepard and big, hefty Ice Fang at her leg. They both went down but Himiko got up first, staring down at the criminal with....well...the eyes that her Father was known to have....which made some criminals shriek (and it is some). "How about you ******** put that bag down before I dismember your legs, cook them over the fire, and eat them with my Lunch!" By then, Himiko had the female Liepard pin her down and show her sharp teeth like she was not joking. Mykola was then able to get the Golbat in its grip, using...well 'Grip' to keep him in check. "Your run with crime is over."
On the other hand, the 'police force' were done with the final form...soon realizing she had escaped them....but not Himiko...worst position to be in. "Sister." The Umbreon called out, having a [Spanish] accent as he bounded over, seeing her in aggression mode. Antonio knew that was not good and blinked...."Baxter, you're gonna need to calm her down. She's going bezerk again." The Houndoom sighed and got over while the Jolteon went to Akio and helped him out. "You ok? Or well...that was a stupid question." The Jolteon was a female. Both the Eevee evolution was injured, but not enough to stay on the ground. Baxter was fine.
"Let's get the Magenezone and get this individual a proper welcome to Jail." Mykola told them, as Baxter bounded over to get them. In the meantime, Natani was trying to help Akio with some berries she had.
It took a bit for the Magnezone to show up and get the thieves arrested while Himiko kept poking Akio over and over again....something the three siblings were surprised at. "Ok? Who the hell replaced Himiko?" For that a little rock was thrown at Antonio, the Umbreon for his remark. Himiko was the one who threw that rock with her tail. Natani rolled her eyes and got over. "I just gave him some berries, he'll be fine. Just give him space."
"How'd you three get here?"
"Oh, we just happened to have the thief pass us up so we caught up" Natani's fur sparked, her electricity power showing as she then tapped Himiko with her paw. "Are you done with the errands?" Himiko muttered a few things, knowing what Natani meant. "We just need to go to the Kecleon shop to pick up the package."
"To Aaron? No prob. we can do it!""I want none of that." Himiko spoke up as now she realized she needed to find Kiku to make sure she was alright now. "Natani, let them handle it. They are an exploration team. They need to do this themselves.""And how are you here?"
"Me?" Mykola released the Golbat after nearly suffocating it so he could let Magnezone handle him. "I wanted to walk around town.""....Alrighty then." She mumbled, unsure how to respond to that. Either way, Mykola was right...this was the job they needed to do.

-- "Some people are worth dying for, it's then when you know you've found a true friend." -- ☾ Akio ☽
Akio laid on the ground, the world spinning and the toxins from Golbat taking effect, making him flinch for a moment. He could hear the fighting coming to an end, another voice joining the group. Wait... he knew that voice... who was it?... The milotic, right. Hearing someone walking over, Akio spotted a yellow blur and as his eyes managed to bring it into focus, he realized it was the Jolteon. His eyes felt heavy as pain shot through his body from the poison. As the Jolteon assisted him by giving him berries, Akio gave a small nod of thanks before eating them, his eyes shutting afterwards.
A few moments later, a light poking made Akio open his eyes, at the other end of the paw was Himiko. Pushing himself up, Akio got into a sitting position and give his head a little shake to try and clear it. He looked at Himiko and gave her a little smile "Sorry, you alright?" he asked wanting to make sure she hadn't gotten hurt after he'd collapsed from the poison and supersonic. Then he turned and looked at the other pokemon who had shown up and bowed his head"Thanks for the help. I'm Akio." he spoke calmly giving his name for anyone who didn't know. A moment later his attention swapped back onto his partner "Mind if we head back now? I'm worried about Kiku."he said. He would understand if Himiko wanted to stay with the group longer, but either way he planned on going back soon. It wasn't a good idea to leave Kiku alone, especially in a public area.

"Why do you keep asking me if I am alright when your the one who got smacked around?! She then heard him ask about Kiku. "She's probably.....-over there." She pointed with her tail seeing the Honchkrow getting his stuff, including Kiku who stayed with him. "You can go over there, we just need to get the package." She sighed as she then saw her brother, Baxter come in...probably to rest up and get some water before coming back.
Iy seemed like everything else was going to be ok. Baxter scampered over to the others. "Seems like everyone is ok. That's good. That fling must've been pretty bad to knock you out like that." Baxter then licked his paw, a scrap can be seen from it. He did have his father's appearance, but he had a more slender body and softer face than that of their father. Antiono frowned. "Let's not go there right that." Antonio took a breath, as Mykola nodded. "Everything is good, so I will take my leave. You all have a good day." The Milotic slithered away as he seemed to be going to somewhere, but he didn't want to talk about it. Himiko took a sigh and then shook her head. "Anyway, we need to get the stuff from the Kecleon shop and then we should be done." She then went with Akio to get to Kiku, she knew why they were together...they were forming the congratulations party which then reminded her of something. "Hey Natani, we might have two more people coming over. Tell Sierra that!"
"Oh sure!"
Himiko then nodded and then went to the two. "Since we have nothing to do, we can always go to Sierra's house. It's not that grand...but it's something to do after we complete our job." She then walked with him to the Kecleon shop, to get the package and get it to the Guildmaster.

-- "Some people are worth dying for, it's then when you know you've found a true friend." -- ☾ Akio ☽
Akio smiled a bit, Himiko obviously okay from her remark. Looking at where she had pointed, Akio spotted Kiku with the Honchkrow and let out a small sigh of relief. The other members of the group pulled themselves together and before long Mykola headed off after dismissing himself. He did find it odd how much the members of that group seemed to join up, but pushed the thoughts aside for now. As Himiko stated that they should head back to the Kecleon shop, Akio nodded "Yeah, hopefully they're done now." he stated his gaze trailing over to Kiku.
"Kiku come on." Akio spoke once he had reached the Shaymin's side. Kiku turned and looked up at him and smile on her face as she gave him a nod "Alright!" she replied before turning back to the Honchkrow "Bye!" . The two then headed back over to Himiko and the group made their way to the shop. Akio was a bit surprised when Himiko invited him and Kiku to go over to Sierra's house once they finished up. "Ummm... are you sure that's... you know... okay?"he asked giving her a questioning glance.

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▬▬▬Himiko▬▬▬ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
Himiko sighed as she then kept on walking to go to the Kecleon shop, she knew he had a reasonable explanation on asking if it was sure that they could come. She understood why he asked, so she responded. "It's fine, so stop worrying." She mumbled as they kept on walking. She got some of the stuff from Kecleon's shop, carrying the package with her as they went back to the guild.
When returning, Ming could be seen coming over. "Oh hello! I can see you got the items?""Yeah...here." Ming then used psychic to carry the items as she then looked over, mumbling a few words as if check-listing before nodding. "Seems like everything is here, thanks very much. We had been busy recently so this helps out a lot." Himiko then turned to leave and before Akio could do the same, Ming stopped him. "Akio..." She fluttered downward so she can face him. "Me and Aaron are aware of the...treatment you had back at the orphanage. Because of that, the other members may treat you differently, and I just wanted to tell you not to be discouraged. Aaron and I won't treat you unfairly, or give you any special treatment, because you are no different than Himiko, or the other guildmembers. Just do your very best alright?" if Ming could give a warm smile, this would be it as she then fluttered away. "Anyway I heard you're going to a dinner party. I hope you have fun. Your work officially starts tomorrow~" She then flew away with the package following behind.
After a bit of walking, they got to a house which depended on the tree to hold itself up. She figured it was her other sister's house....a Leafeon by the name of Sierra. She had always loved to live with nature, so a treehouse like that was no exception. It was a bit away from the village but it did have a nice view. Himiko mumbled a bit but she knew she cannot avoid this, it was alright though. They were soon met with Baxter who was with Natani and Antonio after getting some stuff. "Are Mom and Dad here?"
"Mom and Dad?" Baxter had to look upward before shaking his head. "No, they couldn't come..." To Himiko, that was some relief since she did not want to deal with her Dad. "And Thank heavens, I don't want to deal with them." Antonio grumbled, obviously having parental issues like Himiko was. "You always were a rebel Antonio." Natani mentioned. Himiko then thought about it. She had 3 sisters, and 2 brothers. That makes 6 kids. Himiko was the Quiet One, Elecia was the hyper one, Natani was the Artistic one, Sierra was the Hearthrob, Antonio was the Rebel, and Baxter was the 'Prep' (Ambitious and Image-orientated). All have very different lives in some sort of way: Natani and Baxter both own training facilities, Elecia and Sierra do gardening and sell berries and seeds. Yes, they own a shop called Berries and Seeds which is a good business. Antonio was still unknown, although he was interested in exploration, but Himiko took over that....didn't mean he gave up though.
Baxter then knocked on the door with his long, skinny tail as a voice echoed, one could tell Sierra was a heartthrob. "Whose this~?" Baxter and Antonio rolled their eyes, Sierra was inspired by Fiona in obvious ways. "It's just us." Sierra seemed to have stop her act and opened the door. "What took you guys so long?"
"A thief tried to escape, that's what took long." Antonio remarked, as he then took a sniff....delicious food was coming. "Seems like someone is almost done..." He was the first to enter in before anyone else. It seemed like everything was ready, decorated nicely and it had...ten plates. " Ten Plates?""Oh yeah! Us 6 siblings, Hidey and Kohei, and then...your partner and his friend." Antonio grumbled but it was mostly toward his Dad, since he does not blame Himiko...hell he knew Himiko was forced to so any blame on her was like blaming water for being cold. "So....what's the food?"
"Food wise? Well we got Pine-Nut crusted Catfish, Corn Casserole, and Sopapillas-""MINE!" The rebel zoomed off, more interested in the Sopapillas. "NO! THAT IS FOR EVERYONE!" Sierra had to run off as well to fight the Umbreon. "I HOPE YOU MADE 50 OF THEM!" Baxter hollered back, knowing well how many of them Antonio will eat...and so would Hidey and Kohei. Himiko almost forgotten what it felt like to be with her brothers and sisters again..."Where's Elecia?""Oh, she'll probably meet up with Hidey, and Kohei....she just said she needed a few things to check over before coming here."
Himiko nodded. "Anyway....Akio and Kiku...feel free to explore if you wish." She then proceeded to go to the top of the house, and overlook at the view.

-- "Some people are worth dying for, it's then when you know you've found a true friend." -- ☾ Akio ☽
As Himiko picked up some of the items from the shop stating that he shouldn't worry about it, Akio picked up the rest giving a small nod. Feeling a small nudge on his leg, Akio looked down to see Kiku nudging him with her head. "I want to help too" she spoke making a small pouting face. Akio smirked a bit and pulled out a light object placing it gently onto her back "Alright, there you go, be careful." he spoke receiving a small nod from her, before the two walked with Himiko back to the guild.
Ming greeted them as they entered the guild, using her psychic power to pick up the goods. Akio was about to follow Himiko and Kiku as Himiko lead the way back out when Ming stopped him. As she mentioned the orphanage, Akio looked slightly off to the side, he hated talking about that place. He already knew that people would treat him poorly because of his past, but if he let that stop him, he wouldn't be here now. Looking at Ming he forced a small smile "Yeah, I know. Stinks when your past haunts you though. And being called a disaster doesn't really help." he spoke then glanced over his shoulder at Kiku and Himiko "But there's always at least one person who will accept you regardless. I found that person, and I think you all found me another. For that I'm grateful." he spoke before turning back to Ming and bowing his head. "I'd better get going, I don't want to lose them. Take care." he then turned and went after his two companions.
Kiku walked happy at Himiko's side, Akio catching up and walking at Himiko's other side. Before long they reached a house that seemed to grow out from the tree, Kiku's looking at it with a bit of awe. As they approached the group from before joined them once again. He listened as the siblings spoke, exchanging a few questions about their parents. As Baxter knocked on the door, a cheerful voice came from the other side asking who it was. The door opened revealing the warm face of a leafeon who soon answered a question about the number of plates. "I'm his sister!" Kiku spoke up when she stated that two of the plates were for Akio and his friend. Akio couldn't help but to let out a small chuckle, Kiku always seemed to be one to speak her mind.
After Sierra answered a question about the food, Antonio took off and Akio looked at Kiku as she let out a little giggle and looked up his him "This is fun." she spoke happily. Hearing Himiko speak up, Akio turned to her as she dismissed herself and walked telling them that they could explore.
"I'm Kiku!" Kiku's voice brought Akio's attention back onto the little pokemon as she looked up at Baxter "Can I play too?" she asked curiously, apparently thinking that the food situation was a game. Akio looked at her "Kiku, can I borrow you for a second." he spoke and lowered himself as she came up to him. "I'll be back in a moment, okay? You behave. And stay away from the windows, alright?" he spoke softly. "Right!" Kiku chimed happily before heading back over to Baxter.
Taking a quick look around, Akio followed where he had seen Himiko go soon finding her at the top of the building. Sitting down next to her, he looked up at the sky."You have a nice family. Thanks for the invite. Kiku already seems to be enjoying herself."Akio spoke with a small smile. He honestly wasn't all that sure what to say, but he just kind of wanted to be with her now.

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▬▬▬Himiko▬▬▬ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
Himiko turned her head slightly when Akio suddenly came in to the top of the building and looked up at the sky. He thanked her for inviting them, and saying she was enjoying herself. "That's good at the very least." She just invited them because she knew leaving him at the guild while she was here was a bad idea, that was why she invited him...but it seemed like they were doing fine for now. She then could hear him complimented that she had a nice family. Should she tell him the truth?.....Probably not, now is not the time. Maybe when they get up the ranks could she tell him. "I'm....*sigh* never mind." She then could hear ruckus from down below which she knew what that is. "Antonio and Sierra are fighting again....seems like Antonio stole those Sopapillas....." She then had an amused smile, first in months. "And I would but we mostly just start when Dinner comes in."
"Speaking of Dinner, it's done." Himiko was shocked to see she had a bruise on her cheek, in which the ice-pokemon yelled at him. "ANTONIO! WHAT THE F-...HECK DID YOU DO NOW?!""I DID NOTHING!" Antonio retorted, pleading not guilty to the fact their fight resorted to bruising. Himiko shakes her head and the two headed off to go eat. Then suddenly she hears the big door opened, which was the Hyper Trio of Elecia, Hidey, and Kohei. "GREETINGS!""OW! We can hear you just fine!" Antonio remarked as he was getting a 'discipline' from Himiko for possibly hurting Sierra.
As if in sync, Elecia dragged Himiko to the side and had a mischief face. "Soooooo~ Whose the cutie?""Cutie?""Yeah, I never got his name, you never introduced us!" She stared at Elecia in disbelief as she knew she meant Akio, Himiko turned to him and then back at Elecia. "Well?""No comment." She walked away to the food in which Elecia frowned. "You need to lighten up sis." She frowned but she just shrugged it off and followed to the dinner table. Elecia took note of Akio as she then went to him. "Himiko's a crankypants, she won't even tell me your name!" Himiko glared at Elecia which was very hostile to the point Elecia had to back off slightly, but not much. "But anyway, what's your name?" After she asked that, the smell of food was all over the room, making anyone hungry quickly. Elecia then sat with Natani and Sierra...with Himiko staying with Antonio as both of them shared similar interests. Baxter was already rough-housing with Kohei and Hidey before both had to go to the table. Sierra then brought everything out. "DIG IN EVERYBODY! THIS TOOK LOTS OF LOVE TO MAKE! CHEERS!"
Himiko nodded and ate with everyone else. Himiko stared at Akio for a bit, unsure of what to think but tries to shake her head and keep eating. Antonio sensed this: "So....what's up with you two?""Why you'd ask?" ["I just heard you guys were paired since you were the only two joining.""It's been fine, he has been fine." She responds, eating the casserole which she admits was delicious."Well alrighty then.....but I thought I'd tell you this first....I finally passed the Exploration Team exam!" Himiko was throughly impressed. "Wow! Nice.""Thanks for not going crazy, I hate it when people go crazy...it's harder to keep them in control." Himiko chuckled slightly. "But I would need a partner.""Well good luck."
Baxter was there and sat next to Akio, either not aware or he did not care that Akio was a disaster pokemon. "Akio right? You probably know me.....somewhat. How does it feel to finally be in the exploration business?"

-- "Some people are worth dying for, it's then when you know you've found a true friend." -- ☾ Akio ☽
Akio was about to ask what Himiko was going to say before she cut herself off with a nevermind, but the leafeon showed up, a slight bruise on her cheek. Looking back at Himiko, Akio only caught a glimpse of her rage before she went after Antonio. A small smirk came to his face as the siblings yelled at one another then looked down as he felt the familiar softness of Kiku as she playfully bumped his leg. A moment later a soft voice spoke and Akio turned to see Elecia who apparently had just failed to get his name from her sister. He didn't see the look from Himiko and bowed his head slightly "Sorry, I'm Akio. Pleasure to meet you." he introduced himself before following her over to the table.
As Antonio stated that he had just been accepted into the guild, Akio smiled a bit. "Congrats." he spoke. Part of him honestly felt a bit worried, though it didn't show. Antonio would need a partner, who better than a family member? Akio tried to push the thoughts to the back of his head. No, they wouldn't change partners now...right?...
With Kiku taking a seat at his side, Akio looked down at her for a moment, only to turn a moment later as he heard someone sit down next to him. The Houndoom, Baxter, if he remembered correctly. Giving him a nod, Akio spoke "Yeah, it's great to finally be a part of the guild. All the hard work paid off." he spoke with a small smile. It had been hard to get this far, between getting ready to join the guild, training, and raising Kiku.
-- "I might be a disaster, but at least I have something to live for." --

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▬▬▬Himiko▬▬▬ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
Himiko could see Baxter was getting along with Akio pretty decently, well...Baxter got along with everybody if he was treated right. That sounded wrong...he just treats people the way they treat him (I.e. If you're nice, he will be nice). She and Antonio sat there while some of the siblings talked about Antonio and his big bump on the forehead from that fling. Antonio growled with his cheeks flushed as he did not want to be reminded of that. Then Elecia went off: "SO! AKIO! What made you want to be in the exploration? Whose your sister? How did you know Himiko? What kind of attacks do you do-?!"
"Alright Alright Elecia, one question at a time. Holy Guacamole."
"Ah! I could've made that. Shoot...I was thinking about that for a bit..."
"Guacamole was not gonna fit into this dinner menu."
Himiko rolled her eyes at all of them as they laughed, with Elecia pouting...she was always too hyper for her own good after all. Himiko sat there in silence as she then ate some of her food as everyone chatted. Even Hidey and Kohei were jumpy, since they finally see someone their age they were talking to Kiku and also asking questions. It did seem nice that Kiku and Akio now expanded their circle of friends...if anything happened, her family can be of help.
With that, Dinner was done. Everyone had to get ready to clean up while Sierra brought Antonio back to her room to make sure he was ok. Sierra, although told stupid jokes, was a great healer. Himiko was surprised Sierra wasn't a straight 'healer', but she guessed berries and seeds also helped as well. So now when Antonio came back feeling better, it was Baxter's opportunity to ask Akio: "So...I have heard that you are among the strongest in that town... Besides my Dad of course. Anyway how would you like to have a friendly battle outside?" Himiko always knew their father expected so much out of Baxter since he looked more like his father, and was the ONLY houndour in the family...every other sibling was eevee's. So for that, Baxter and Jurik engaging in a fight intrigued Hidey and Kohei, amused and would have fun seeing the friendly brawl. Antonio came up and sat next to Himiko as Hidey and Kohei were chanting 'fight, fight, fight'.
"Who's gonna win?'"It depends on how they use their strength and flaws Antonio, a fight can go to anyone if you know your advantages and disadvantages." Himiko truly believed that after all.

-- "Some people are worth dying for, it's then when you know you've found a true friend." -- ☾ Akio ☽
Akio was a bit startled as Elecia went off with a barrage of questions, but a small smirk came to his face as the siblings started to go on."Well, I wanted to join because I've always wandered off, finding new places was always fun. My sister's name is Kiku. Ummm lets see.... Himiko and I have had a couple.. run ins with one another." Akio spoke trying to answer the questions. Beside him, Akio heard Kiku let out a small giggle and looked to see her playing with Hidey and Kohei. She never really met anyone her own age, and when she did it was only briefly. The group seemed so cheerful and fully accepting of the two new acquaintances.
When dinner ended, Baxter came up to Akio, offering the idea of a friendly battle. It was already getting late and Akio didn't care much for the idea of walking Kiku home in the dark. On the other hand, she seemed to be enjoying the company, should he really cut it short because of a 'feeling' he has. The thoughts ran through Akio's mind and after a moment he gave a small nod. "Alright." he spoke before looking at Kiku and motioning her off to the side a bit."Stay close to Himiko or one of her siblings, okay?"Akio said in a hushed tone a tinge of worry creeping into his voice. Kiku nodded understanding what was worrying him"Right." she spoke in her usual cheerful voice before running back and playfully jumping onto Hidey.

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▬▬▬Himiko▬▬▬ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
The fight continued on for awhile, it could be considered a draw..or well....it had to stop since Akio's and Baxter's skills are equal to each other. Baxter huffed and puffed, a big smile across his muzzle. "WOO! Hadn't had a good one in a LOOOONG time. I wish my students had the same fiery passion!" Of course Kohei and Hidey were trying to get them to keep going but when Baxter waved his tail slightly as if to say No.
"Akio....." Himiko came up and nodded toward Baxter and Natani. "Both of them own gyms, if....you ever want to train over there that is.""Yeah!" Natani came over. "Once in awhile, my students and I love to go up to the mountains to help with training."
Antonio rolled his eyes and sort of wanted to leave right now....which he did anyways. "Leaving?""I had my fill of sociability for a week." He then left without a goodbye. Baxter took note of it and yelled: "GOODBYE! God damn!" Baxter was a bit irritated over that. "Just leave it be." Himiko licked her paws and started wiping the paw on her face, to slightly groom herself. Which she doesn't normally do unless necessary.
Hidey and Kohei seem to have a fun time, in which Elecia jumped off the balcony to the group. "Well~ It's getting late! Kohei! Hidey! I'll take ya home!" And almost in perfect unison, both flew off like rated G cartoon characters with butterflies and rainbows behind them. "Can I have that energy please?" Baxter seemed to find it amusing that the three could be unified that much.
"She was always hyper and energetic. It's hard for me to get her to stay still." Sierra put it out there, before chuckling: "Anyway, that was fun! I'm glad you could come." Sierra rubbed against Himiko in a friendly way, which the 'Ice Queen' groaned slightly....almost like a sibling would. "Yeah yeah." Himiko then stepped away and then stared up at the sun, trying to hude behind the mountains. "Thanks......for having me." Himiko mumbled and which both Baxter, Sierra, and Natani leaned closer. "I am NOT saying that again.""PLEEEAAAASEE?!""NO!" And the three siblings had lost that battle. "Imma...go back to the guild. I'll see you guys later." Sierra frowned: "Oh fine, never stay for desert."
Himiko sighed irritably but that was normal for the family. "Anyway, you guys have a good night. We need to be there for attendance.""you too~ And visit whenever you can. And I MEAN IT!" Sierra let it out there, showing that Himiko....'sometimes' does not visit when she was suppose to. Himiko then looked at Akio and Kiku. "We should go, Aaron would want us to know we're safe...or...at least not abandoned the guild."

-- "Some people are worth dying for, it's then when you know you've found a true friend." -- ☾ Akio ☽
The spar lasted for a while and ended in a draw as the two fighters wore each other out. Akio smiled a bit as Baxter spoke, then gave a nod"Yeah, we'll have to spar again some time." he said hoping the houndoom would take him up on the offer. He wasn't to sure how he'd feel about entering their dojo that Himiko stated they had, but it was something to think about for Kiku at least. As Antonio excused himself, Kiku looked at him"Bye!" she called after him.
Not long after that Elecia joined the join before running off to take Hidey and Kohei home. Their energy made them an interesting little group, that was for sure. Turning his attention onto Sierra, Akio bowed his head "Thank you for allowing Kiku and I to join you." he spoke. Kiku bowed her head as well "Thank you!" she chimed in. Akio couldn't help the small chuckle as the siblings tried to get another thanks out of Himiko, but to no avail.
As Himiko stated that they should get going, Akio nodded "Yeah, good point."he then turned to Kiku who nodded. With Kiku in the middle, the group headed back to the guild, Akio alert. Night had fallen, he didn't want to risk anything bad happening now. A rustle sounded in a bush near the trees and Akio quickly looked at it, keeping himself between the bush and Kiku. A moment later, a dodrio stepped out onto the path heading off on its way. Akio let out a silent sigh and tried to relax a bit.

Himiko stared from the corner of her eye to Akio who got a bit defensive when the bushes rustled. She raised a brow but shrugged it off. She continued walking until they finally reached the guild. It was dark out and all Himiko wanted to do was fall asleep and get ready for the second day of 'adventuring'. She did not even bother moving from her nest, despite the announcement that dinner was ready. She didn't see the point of going since she just ate and Aaron was aware that she and Akio ate dinner with the family, so she slept on her nest, exhaustion consumed her.
Next thing she could comprehend was that she woke up in darkness, she opened her eyes and realized she was floating. She tried speaking, asking what was going on but nothing came out, all there was....it was noises.
"Why......Why?"
Himiko recognized the voice: It was her Dad's.
"Why would she do this? I.....I always knew she never liked this but....but..." Then the darkness seemed to turn red and then she felt like she was falling: despite screaming, nothing came out.
That was when she woke up, her eyes told fear but she shook her head to get back to normal. She tried to ignore it as she left to go to the morning assembly. It was the usual, and now it was time to pick the job. Aaron came on over to her and stopped her. "How'd the party go?"
"Party?.....It was mostly a get-together...""Yes Yes....but it's nice to be with family isn't it?" Himiko narrowed her eyes more which made Aaron sigh and whisper: "Look I get it, you never wanted to be here....you still have a grudge over your father for putting you here. Just.....try to make the most of it ok?" He then left with Himiko going to the job poster with Akio. As they waited, she just allowed him to pick the job and leave with the piece of paper out of the guild. "Pick which one you want. I did it, now it's your turn."

As the three reached the guild, they headed into their room, Akio laying down in his nest, tired from the spar. Himiko went into her own and laid down, tired as well. Kiku let out a tiny yawn before curling up beside Akio. As her breathing slowed as she fell asleep, a couple small glowing buds grew out of her green fur and bloomed into flowers that matched the two on the sides of her head. Akio looked down at her, a small smile on his face before he rested his head down and soon fell asleep as well.
Morning came and the light poke of a tiny paw on his cheek woke Akio, revealing Kiku standing next to him, the flowers from the last night gone now. "I'm up, I'm up." Akio spoke quietly so not to wake up Himiko. Getting up to his feet, Akio gave himself a light shake. The sudden movement of Kimiko made Akio and Kiku both turn to look at her. "You alright? We didn't wake you did we?" he asked with concern.
As the group exited for morning roll call, Aaron approached Himiko as Akio stepped over to the board and Kiku went off to talk to some of the members of the guild. Reading over the requests, a moment later the familiar voice of Himiko told him that he could pick what request they did today. Looking the over he pulled one down "This one alright? I needed to head over that way soon anyhow." Akio spoke. The request was for recovering a lost item in the Mirage Plains that headed towards the top of the mountain. Where he wanted to go rested near the top of that mountain, a short walk after the end of the dungeon.

I'm sorry about not posting for so long, but right now...I don't think I will be able to post this week. My parents are going through a divorce and right now, my heart is breaking since they are in California and I am in New Mexico.
Right now, it's hard for me to do classes so right now I need to put myself in a Haitus so I can recover. When? I hope by next week...but if not...then 2 weeks. I am sorry again....right now it's just...hard.
