Were On The Road Again~~

~Sky

I sighed and looked around and was glad to see that some of the other halfers were treating the ones who were hurt. Finally, my eyes fell on Jake who had that girl on his back. I narrowed my eyes a bit and was going to go and talk to him when someone new came up and talked to me.

"I'm Luna." she said sounding a bit shy as her group left her. "And... Well since I found my brother, I was hoping to stay with him and come with you.. If thats fine, I mean." she said and smiled and I smiled and nodded, "Of course thats fine! Oh yeah, and I'm Sky by the way. Nice to meet you. I also really appreciated your group lending us a hand." I said with a grin. She nodded and smiled too.

I laughed nervously, "But if you would excuse me, I need to go and see how much time until we leave. It can't be good from some of them to be out in the cold this long." I said and noticed some of them had taken to their animal forms if they were warmer.

"Oh, right." she said with a laugh of her own, "Talk to you later than!" she said and went off to talk to Moon probably. Turning I started to, yet again, make my way over to Jake but was distracted from some people yelling and cursing. I turned and looked to see what they were staring at and smiled as a huge black dragon with a purple under belly flew down and landed near the halfers and few hunters that still hung around.

"Io!" I shouted and laughed as she let out a loud roar before turning back to her human form laughing at the shocked and pale white faces as they stared. Smiling to see my friend returning, I ran over and gave her a hug, "It's nice to see you back here!" I said letting go and looking around before frowning, "Kasumi didn't come?" Io shook her head and shrugged, "Don't worry about her, she'll show up eventually." Io grinned.

She looked around at all of the halfers than at the partially destroyed house, "I take it I missed something?" I laughed, "Guess you could say that... But I'll fill you in later. What I need to know now though is if you saw anywhere we could stay for the night or at least rest." she tipped her head and though for a second, "Yeah, a small town.. Not that far away though of course it would be faster if they could fly..." I nodded.

"Okay, thanks!" and turned to the group of half breeds standing around and softly talking or treating their injuries.

"Alright, let's get to the nearest town. Weather's cleared up, so we can travel. Is everybody okay with that?" I called out and everyone seemed to either give a nod or murmur of agreement. "Great, I'm glad to see they're so full of enthusiasm.."

"Io! You're back!" I turned to see Dani run over and hug her too while Gray wasn't far behind and soon started to listen to what Io told us about what had happened while we filled her in on the whole fight.

I sighed, "I told you it's fine, Moon. Really, you don't have to bandage it or anything." I giggled as he paid no mind to what I said with a soft smile. I looked up to listen to what Sky had to say while Moon finished and we started walking side by side while Luna was on his other side and kept casting anxious glances back at me. Finally I meet her eyes.

"Something wrong?" I asked and she looked away, "I saw you fighting... I heard what that octopus halfer had to say about you... And I can smell the hunters chemicals on you.." she growled not meeting my eyes. I looked down. This really was something that would haunt me forever.

"Luna," Moon began, "You don't understand-" she cut him off with a warning growl, "I understand fully, Moon." she said and continued to stare. I held my breath waiting for what would happen next.

=D Hope that's fine with you, Anime! Sooo... You can basically have your OC get to the town, talk with others, rest, heal, go out shopping -__- I don't know... It's just kind of a slow down and rest part before they get to the labyrinth.

If anything needs to be fixed, let me know :D
