ooc: I don't have a problem with it. Go ahead.

ic: Laughing, Jairus caught Talison in his arms, swinging her round in place, nuzling his nose against hers in playfull reception.
"I take you missed me, true?", he said teezingly, a big grin on his face.

[Wind]

She smiled and kissed him on the tip of his nose and said " Roo! we've got a hurt human here... come see! pleeeeeeaaase!"

[Lil_Ninja]

"Why don't you go ahead and stay here. Keep an eye out for hunters." Conri said to Jairus, then turned to Siobhan, "We should probably get moving."

[Shilohan ninja]

Jairus ruffled Talison's fur as he aswered Conri, "Aye, Aye, Cap'n."
Setting Talison on her feet he stood slowly. "Alright, Tali, lead the way."

[Nami]

Conri paused for a moment, trying to find a suitable way to say it. "Well.. There's still a situ-" He stopped when he saw Affinity. He moved to the side to let her pass. He nodded a hello to her, using his trademark smirk. "Now, I have to go find someone so.. Excuse me." He went around the corner and spotted Siobhan. "Hey, Sio! We need to talk."

Dalton saw he was no longer needed so he headed out and went to the stairs. He started walking down, but stopped when he caught sight of Kisho. Is he eavesdropping?.. How suspicious. I must investigate! He thought, moving towards Kisho. "What are you doing?"

[font="palatino Linotype"]Azrael looks at Affinity with a small smirk as she bumped into him.
"Hey now, what's with walking by and not saying anything, hm? That's not polite!"

He chuckled in a way that he deemed 'attractive', and leaned against the doorway, facing the girl.
"What's your name?"

[/font]

Affinity glanced up at Azrael, "I'm sorry, I was trying not to interrupt you and Conri." she smiled back at him, "my name is Affinity Solus." she crossed her arms and looked up at him waiting for his name.

-----------------
Kisho jumped and looked at Dalton, "Geez! Don't scare people you nearly gave me a heart attack! I was just listening to what Conri was saying, I've been here longer than him and now he's not even sharing information with me and that's just irritating." he muttered the last part before shoving his hands deep into his black cargo pant-pockets.

"And it's disturbing how many new faces are showing up now..." Kisho looked at Dalton, "he's planning to move people and go see the monks. But he's not doing it without me."

Kisho marched down the steps and stormed down the hall toward Conri, "look! I don't know what you are planning!" he hissed, speaking to Conri's back, "But if you are going to see the monks then I will be there too! Sio and I have been here the longest and if you want to decide to move everyone you have to go through me too." he said.

OOC: Sorry for the wait, Kisho's a bit defensive and it looks like Affinity is kinda interested in Azrael :3

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino linotype"]Siobhan looked over at Kisho pleadingly, then back to Conri with a defeated look on her face. She'd rather not involve him in this, in case something went wrong and he snapped someone's neck in two, but he'd go psycho if he didn't go along...

"That's fine with me, Ki. That is, if it's okay with Conri."
She turned fully towards Conri and made her proposal, with no intention of insulting the black-clad feline.
"Y'know, if he comes along, it'd be extra assistance in case of an ambush."

--------------------------------
"My name is Azrael Avinash, but you can call me whatever you like..."
His crooked grin perfectly matched the tone of his statement.

"Y'know, you're kinda cute. Wanna talk for a bit?"[/font]

[Lil_Ninja]

Dalton made a mental note of what Kisho said, then followed him as he began his conversation with the others. 'something fishys goin' on around here..' He lingered near so he could listen to the whole conversation. He was going to get to the bottom of this..

~~

Conri turned to Kisho. "I have no problem with that. Like Siobhan said, we can use the manpower." He glanced at Siobhan, then back to Kisho. "Now, if that's settled.." He let his tone wander off as he turned to go out the door, expecting the two to follow him. "There's absolutely no time to waste." He told them, glancing over his shoulder as he opened the door and stepped out.

~~

Maxine let her gaze wander to the door. She could hear Kisho downstairs yelling at someone. She got up, stuck the IPod in her pocket, and moved to the door, opening it swiftly and moving to the stairs to listen. She caught the last part of the conversation, where it was apparent that Kisho was going somewhere with Conri and.. The cat.. She narrowed her eyes and moved to her bedroom window, opening it and slipping through. She slid down te drainpipe and waited in the shadows. She was going to follow them.

[Shilohan ninja]

ooc: Wind, where art thou?

[Nami]

Kisho looked at Sio and sighed with agreement when Conri didn't try to stop him, "Good, then its settled." he followed Conri out after Sio, ladies first you know. And shoved his hands deeper into his pockets. He still didn't trust Conri, but if Siobhan was there then it would be alright.
--------
Affinity grinned showing off her pearly whites, "Ahh, Azrael, nice name." she purred, "Alright why not, I've got nothing but time." she glanced down the hall as she heard every word of Conri, Sio, and Kisho's conversation. "What would you like to talk about." she flicked her red hair that had black tips on the end over her shoulder and leaned casually against the wall.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan flashed a quick, self-effacing smile towards Kisho, and beckoned him happily as she walked out.
"Come on, slowpoke, you're gonna get left! And wait up, Conri!!!"

--------------------------------
Azrael smoothly and 'surreptitiously' slid up beside Affinity and flashed another smile himself.
"Well, since you're here, I'd get the impression that you're an Anichi. Mind...telling what you are, Affy?"

He chuckled and sweatdropped a bit, then bowed slightly to the fiery-headed girl.
"Eh, you don't have to if you don't wanna. People tell me that I come on too strongly, so I apologize."[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho rolled his eyes, "I'm coming." he smiled a bit, happy to see Sio was back to her old self and jogged to catch up to Conri. "You seem like a man with a plan, so, tell me all the details." he said his voice edged like a sharp dagger.

------------------

Affinity tried to hide her amusement when he slid closer, "I am Anichi..." she chuckled lightly, "and I don't mind telling you, of course it's rather obvious." she flipped her red hair a bit, "I am a Maned Wolf, which is a long-legged fox, taller than normal foxes, you can read about them on the net." she grinned brilliantly, flashing her white teeth again.

[Lil_Ninja]

Conri slowed a bit for the others, then turned to answer Kisho. "First," he started, "we are going to talk to the Monks about relocating the Anichi, because of the hunters, then if they have a place, we'll go there, and if not, I'll scout around." He told him. "But no matter what, we need to do this quick, or it wont matter.." He said, sticking his thumbs in his pockets.

~~

Maxine turned into her marten form, and stealthy followed them. WHy? The main reason was the cat.. She didn't trust her one bit.. And she wanted to protect Kisho.

~~

Dalton followed in his raccoon form, wanting to see what they were up to.

[Wind]

Jairus ruffled Talison's fur as he aswered Conri, "Aye, Aye, Cap'n."
Setting Talison on her feet he stood slowly. "Alright, Tali, lead the way."

ooc: sorry so messed up in the head right now, so I am having such a hard time posting

ic: Talison walked into the house into one of the bedrooms and pointed out Allison and Allison said shyly " Hello, How r u?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan nodded as she took out a small map of their area.
"That's...that's right. I guess we should go the quickest route, which is through a forest...it's not the safest way to go, but it'll get us there quicker."

But something in her mind was bugging her.
'He's right. If we don't fly as fast as our feet allow, this will all have been in vain.

---------------

"Oh, so you're a bit 'foxy', eh?"
Azrael couldn't help but laugh quietly at his joke. After all...it was one of the cheesiest things he had said in quite a while.

"But nah, that's cool. I'm just a bug, so don't step on me, a'ight?"
He let out another round of tittering and grabbed the outside seam of his jeans nervously.
Something about her was oddly captivating. There was a little voice in the back of his head that told him not to do anything, but he pushed that aside with another quick glance her way.[/font]

[Lil_Ninja]

Conri nodded. "You should probably take the lead since I have no idea where to go." He told her, letting her go ahead of him. "Don't worry though, ol' Bessy'll keep you safe." He smirked as he patted his pistol.

[Shilohan ninja]

ooc: sorry so messed up in the head right now, so I am having such a hard time posting

ic: Talison walked into the house into one of the bedrooms and pointed out Allison and Allison said shyly " Hello, How r u?"

Jairus followed closely behind Talison until they came upon the aforementioned patient, who greeted them somewhat shyly. Jairus smiled back and answered, "rather well, for the time being. Now then, what's your trouble and where does it hurt?"

ooc: that's fine, Wind-sama. what's wrong with Allison?

[Wind]

Jairus followed closely behind Talison until they came upon the aforementioned patient, who greeted them somewhat shyly. Jairus smiled back and answered, "rather well, for the time being. Now then, what's your trouble and where does it hurt?"

ooc: that's fine, Wind-sama. what's wrong with Allison?

ooc: She got attacked by a wolf and has deep cuts all over her back

ic: She looked at him and said " Well it hurts here and well... umm here..." She pointed to her back and her ribs near her chest and she didn't know what to do but she was at the mercy of this stranger

[Shilohan ninja]

Seeing the deep wounds in Allison's back and ribs, Jairus turned to Talison and said calmly, "Tally, listen to me. I need you to get a towel out of one of the bathrooms and soak a corner of it in warm water and ring it out and bring it to me, okay?"
Turning back to Allison, Jairus asked in the same calm tone, "can you move at all?"

[Wind]

Allison nodded and said " Yes... but it really hurts... So, can you tell me your name so I am not so shy to let you heal me..." She smiled and sighed, then said " OW!" when he moved her arm slightly

[Nami]

Ignore this please.

[Nami]

Affinity covered up a snicker at his corny joke, "I suppose." she said more to herself than to him.

She chuckled at his line, "Alright." Her eyes flicked to his hand as she caught wind of his nervousness, "hmm, do I frighten you?" she asked quietly. "Or does my presence just make you nervous?" Affinity waved a hand at Azrael's hand that gripped his jeans.
------------

Kisho nodded, "well then why the heck are we walking?" he asked arching a dark brow, "let's run." suddenly without another hesitation, Kisho shifted in house cat form, which was small and black with a tiny white diamond shape on his chest. Kisho's senses were heightened in this form and he thought he smelled a marten and a raccoon but decided better than to tell the other two about it.

Kisho his nose in the cat form, "ol' bessy?" he questioned, "how unoriginal." he mumbled, rolling his eyes.

OOC:... sorry for my days away >.>

[Lil_Ninja]

OOC: It's alright, Nami ^^

IC: Conri made a pouting face at Kisho. "Hey now, don't be mean to Ol' Bessy. She's sensitive.." He held his gun as if he was covering it's ears. He shifted into his coyote form and followed Kisho. It'd be easier following him in his animal form, since he could track his smell easier.

[Shilohan ninja]

Allison nodded and said " Yes... but it really hurts... So, can you tell me your name so I am not so shy to let you heal me..." She smiled and sighed, then said " OW!" when he moved her arm slightly

"Alright, alright, easy.", He said softly, "I am Jairus. I'm going to help you roll over, so this is probably going to hurt a little. Don't be afraid. If it starts hurting too much, let me know. Just try to relax, okay?"
Jairus began to gently slip his hands under Allison's knees and her shoulders.

[Wind]

Allison looked at him with wide eyes and said " I am scared... by the way my name is Allison and that's my dog lydia and that wolf is called shadow..." She sighed and tried not to move as he rolled her over onto her stomach and she said " So where is this place and what is it?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Azrael shook his head as a negative to her.
"No, that's not it. I just feel... Really odd."
He stammered and waved off his previous statement.
"But not in a bad way, believe me!! I mean NOTHING bad about that!"

---------------------
Siobhan shrugged and laughed at the name, then morphed into her (slightly mentally unstable) caracal form.
She ran out in front with a big grin on her face, then spun around while walking backwards.
"Come on, you two! You're so slllloooowwww!"

With that, she turned back right-ways and zoomed towards the monastery.
"You gotta catch up to me to get there!!"
~
An ancient-looking man dressed in the rough habit of a monk heard a commotion from a whiles away. Even thought his hold on reality was slipping fast, and his walk was more of a hobble, his hearing and eyesight were that of a hawk in its prime.
"Hehehehe! Seems like we're gon' have some company! Areggio, fix some tea for our guests!"
"Yes, Father Brown."
A shadowed figure scuttled off as the old man sat down on the stone steps and awaited the group that would definitely bring interesting news...

((OOC: This person will only be used for a few posts. So..yeah. ^^ ))[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho rolled his eyes at Sio and ran faster in his small cat form, running with abnormal speed for a house cat. He dashed forward and jumped over Sio grinning as he ran for the monastery. "Woohoo!" he shouted.

----------------

Affinity smiled, "well even if you were nervous that's perfectly natural." she chuckled at his response. "Alright I believe you." she patted his arm with her small pale hand. "How did you end up with this crowd?" she asked curiously cocking her head, changing the subject smoothly.

[Lil_Ninja]

Conri chuckled as he ran full speed to catch up to the two cats. He skidded to a stop when he saw an old man on the stone steps, but by the time he came to a complete stop, he was right in front of him. "Oh, uh.. Father Brown?" He asked, shifting into his human form. "We come seeking you assistance."

~~

Maxine stayed close, hiding behind a tree near them, hoping to hear their conversation.

~~

Dalton lost sight of everyone. "Oh, poo!" He said, frustrated that he wasn't going to be able to learn what they were up to. He headed back to the house, very disappointed.

~~

"Move in." A gruff man in all black said quietly into his transmitter. He held two fingers up, then pointed them forward at the house, moving stealthily around the sides, his men covering every exit. By this time, the sun was almost out of sight, so it gave them a better chance of not being seen. The lead man's team moved through the back of the house, approaching the kitchen. He held his hand up when he heard two kids talking. He aimed his gun around the corner, and shot the male with a tranquilizer. The gun had a silencer so it wouldn't alert anyone of their presence.

The other team moved through the front door, a couple people scoping out the downstairs, and some going upstairs. They didn't see anyone in the hall, so they started going through each room. The first ones they saw upstairs was a girl, two dogs and a male tending to the girls wounds. One of them shot (tranquilized) the dog.

OOC: If any of you don't want to be caught, just escape or say you were hiding. No biggie ^^

~~

Jago caught the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. He peeked out of the room he was in to see troops. They've come! He thought. I have to go warn someone! Conri! That's it! He quietly opened the window and climbed out, making a break for the woods when no one was looking. He changed into his white jackrabbit form and started trailing Conri and his group.

[Shilohan ninja]

Allison looked at him with wide eyes and said " I am scared... by the way my name is Allison and that's my dog lydia and that wolf is called shadow..." She sighed and tried not to move as he rolled her over onto her stomach and she said " So where is this place and what is it?"

Jairus listened as he inspected her wounds carefully.
"I see. Well, it's a good thing your K-9 friends helped you out. Were these wounds any worse, you'd be in critical condition. As it is, you'll be able to walk away from this in a week or two with a few deep scars, but you don't seem to have anything more serious than that."
As he began cleaning the wounds and dressing them, he added, "according to what I've gathered from the others, this is a monastary of some kind run by a group of monks a few miles out from here. As to where it's located, I still don't really have a definite answer to that. I can tell you it ain't Seattle, though. Where did you say you were from, again?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Azrael was about to respond when he felt a tiny prick in the back of his neck. When he reached to feel what it was, the edges of his vision began to fade out, and he didn't even know if his message ever made it out of his mouth.
"Run...away..."
With that, he crumpled to the floor like a child's discarded rag doll.

-------------------
Siobhan spat at the two boys who arrived at the feet of the ancient figure.
The Father's warm brown eyes seemed to smile themselves, since his mouth was hidden by a massive snow white beard.
"Eeeehehe! What brings you three to my humble abbey? I'm not totally prepared for all of this excitement, it might bother some of the Brothers, and....wait, what was I talking about again?"
He smiled absentmindedly and stood up, his back creaking as he scuttled off towards the inner room.

Siobhan coughed lightly and leaned to peer at where the robust old man disappeared to.
His bearded face suddenly appeared from the doorway, and he beckoned them quickly.
"Hurry and come on in! Your tea is getting cold!"[/font]

[Wind]

Jairus listened as he inspected her wounds carefully.
"I see. Well, it's a good thing your K-9 friends helped you out. Were these wounds any worse, you'd be in critical condition. As it is, you'll be able to walk away from this in a week or two with a few deep scars, but you don't seem to have anything more serious than that."
As he began cleaning the wounds and dressing them, he added, "according to what I've gathered from the others, this is a monastary of some kind run by a group of monks a few miles out from here. As to where it's located, I still don't really have a definite answer to that. I can tell you it ain't Seattle, though. Where did you say you were from, again?"

She looked down at that question and said " I am not sure... I don't remember..." She sighed and lifted her arm for him to clean out the wound there. It really hurt for him to do that and she winced... The wolf came up after he was done and licked him on the face and barked a thank you at him
