Ame watched as Elle ran off with Mari and Kaki only to be later stopped by the moratorium who was then stopped by an angel. This is insane.... Ame thought to herself before holding up a fan ready to beat back the demon on hand. Sadine smirked a bit. "So the Miss sent a moratorium too... and he just fell like that," she shook her head sharply before drawing a sword. "I won't give up that easily," she grinned sharply.
"Don't piss me off," Ame answered back. "I don't forgive that easily."
"Heh... I'm the one you should be worrying about pissing off," Sadine answered back with a grin. Suddenly Ame felt a slash go straight through her. The teal haired woman's eyes were unblinking for a moment as she felt the sword go through her. She even felt it as it burst out the back of her. She hadn't even had time to react... or even see the attack for that matter. Falling backwards a fraction, the teal haired woman found she couldn't even move right then and there.
"You're just a stupid human," Sadine grinned. "To think you can take on my hell speed." Ame said nothing, but as the sword retracted from her stomach, the teal haired woman fell straight forwards catching herself on one knee only barely managing to keep her feet under her.
A scream hit Ame's ears, yet it wasn't hers. Apparently Elle had started back with Mari and Kaki and seen the sudden attack. Ame said nothing but tried to force herself straight up. Freakin' hell...Stabbed right through my stomach.... Ame stared irritated as she felt blood start moving down her side. I can't win like this... Her eye slid backwards and caught sight of a girl running with.... Nino's cat??
FOWL DEMON! Nani's thoughts pierced everyone's mind at that point as the cat lunged forwards straight at Sadine. The demoness blocked the attack with her sword and smirked a bit.
"Well hello Lion Goddess," Sadine smirked a fraction. "Or a Cat Goddess now as it were..."
This form will not lower my ability to kill you Nani answered back with a narrowed stare as she pounced straight at the demon again forming large claws and slashing straight at Sadine. The demoness was unable to dodge the attack and took the slash sharply. Swearing harshly Sadine backed up. The fight continued between the cat and the demoness with no clear winner. The demoness would slash, and the cat would dodge within a minimeter's grasp. Then Nani would attack wielding extended claws which Sadine would block.
"Ame?!" Elle's voice hit the teal haired woman's ears as Ame was now leaning over a fraction trying to press the wound she had received. She wanted to force herself up and fight right then and there... she wanted it terribly... wanted to kill that demon for the trick she pulled.
"Mari, Kaki, Elle!" Emiko's voice followed.
"Did I not tell you all to run!" Ame shouted irritated.
"But... you're hurt..." Kaki finally said seeming to cause everyone to jump.
"I can take care of myself!" Ame shouted back.
"No, Kaki is right," Mari's voice was shaken a fraction but seemed to get stronger right then and there. "We're getting you out of here too." Ame let out a swear.
"If you think I will just fight a cat!" Sadine's voice yelled out as she made a slash and caused Nani to be forced back.
Suddenly the sound of a gun hit the air. Ame looked up expecting the dark haired man, yet the one holding the gun was clearly not him. "Emiko?" Elle asked as though unsure of what else to say. Emiko was standing there frozen as she finally breathed out. Sadine had been shot straight in the forehead and was falling backwards right then and there. In a half second, she seemed to turn to dust and fade away.
"If... no one was going to finish it... I was going to..." Emiko finally breathed out. There was an exasperated silence that followed. Ame said nothing but seemed to more her eyes back downwards. Damn this... sucks.... were the last thoughts that reached the teal haired woman before everything went blank.
"Ame!" Elle's voice caused Nani's head to turn sharply from where she had watched the demon fade. The teal haired woman was now all but flat on the ground having fallen back and appeared completely out. Both Emiko and Elle were by the teal haired woman while yet another girl seemed to look on with unanswered worry and confusion. Next to the girl was a boy....Suddenly Nani's senses caught sight of what the demoness had been after. That boy..... Nani thought to herself not expressing this thought out loud.
Kaki! Nani's voice was projected now. The blond haired boy seemed to retract as though unsure of what to do. He simply stared with a worried look on his face. I know what you are, and I know what you can do! Heal Mistress Ame! Both Elle and Emiko appeared to look at each other and then towards Mari and Kaki. Kaki had taken a step back and looked at Nani with indescribable fear. I will not let a Vessel die! Kaki heal her now! Nani answered the fear back with her own causticity. It's time to grow up!
"You can't do that to him!" Mari shouted back looking straight at the cat. "He was just a baby a few.... a few..." she tried but broke off as she noticed the cat's stare.
I will ask what I will Nani answered back leering a fraction.
"I... I can do this..." Kaki finally said aloud before taking a few steps forwards.
"Kaki..." Mari said as though unsure of what else to say.
"Mari... I can do this..." Kaki finished before walking fully towards Ame. The teal haired woman had both eyes closed and appeared to all but be sleeping. Placing his hands forwards, the blond haired boy seemed to breathe inwards before a sudden light appeared and started to take form around Ame. Emiko and Elle stared back in a strange worry. However, almost instantly, the wound seemed to close up and leave Ame with simple rips in her clothing. The teal haired woman blinked a fraction before breathing out.
Thank you Kaki.... Nani smiled to herself as much as a cat could smile. The boy said nothing but looked over at her and nodded a fraction.
"Great.... talking cat..." Elle said finally looking at Nani and appearing to take in the fact that she had spoken. Nani's ears went down in irritation.
The Cat not cat. Capitals. Nani sighed outwards before shaking her head. Silly humans....
"So I'm guessing the party was fun?" Ame sighed out putting a hand to her head. "Cause I can't remember any of it..." Kaki seemed to force a smile and look back at Mari who simply stared for a moment before looking at Nani.
"You said that you know what Kaki is..." she started.
Indeed... and so does he.... Nani smiled back a bit. But I don't hand out information like that... Sorry dear. Mari seemed to stare and then frown at the cat before finally taking hold of her head and shaking it a fraction.
"Can't you just..." she began.
Nope...Nani answered back. Just as I will never give out my infomration
Emiko seemed to sigh outwards for a moment and stare down at the gun still in her hand. It was larger than before and a fraction more intricate. Elle looked at it as well and then up at Emiko. "You're going to have to explain about that later," Elle said aloud. Emiko just shook her head, closed her fingers, and watched the gun disappear again.
Thank you for shooting that blasted demon for me as well... Nani sighed to Emiko. She was getting on my nerves to say the least of things, and in this form I find it harder to fight.... The cat mused before brushing her ears upwards a fraction.

“I’ll play too!” Aiba's voice called as his eyes finally caught what Ohno was playing. The red haired man always seemed to find something fun to do, and this was well proven with the game of Twister that had just been set up. Aisling seemed to look rather surprised that Ohno had set up something in the middle of a hospital's cafeteria of all places, yet she simply smiled a fraction.
“Alright then,” Ohno answered back with a laugh, “let’s get started. Left leg, green!” He refused to show it, but in the back of the red haired man's mind, he was worried for Ame. Where had she exactly disappeared to? It worried him among other things, yet Sho had given orders to play investigator, and Ohno knew he couldn't get out of it. Ohno caught sight of Mei Rin talking quietly with Aine not far off, and he haphazardly wished he could overhear them. However, after a moment, he saw that Mei Rin was walking back quietly then and there.
“Oh no!” Aiba's voice called causing Ohno to turn his head believing that he was being called. However, he wasn't, and all the red haired man could do was resist the temptation to sigh at his parents for choosing the name once more. In English... it was such a curse...
After the game seemed to end, Ohno turned his full head to Mei Rin. "I have to head back to Heaven... Ohno..." Mei Rin said looking down a fraction at the floor. "I..." she tried but suddenly found herself pulled into a hug from Ohno.
"Alright... take care then Meimei..." Ohno smiled back releasing the girl again and stepping back with a smile. Mei felt her face turn red. Ohno only used the nickname when he was trying to comfort her. Finally looking up and smiling, Mei Rin nodded.
"Bye...." she smiled before walking off and away to disappear into Heaven again. Ohno's eye shot towards Aine who simply gave a nod downwards in understanding. Ohno turned his head to one side and stared back at the game again.
"So who is next?" Ohno grinned lightly trying to keep himself light as possible. "How about you Miss Aislicle?" Aisling seemed to blink and then nodded a fraction in an 'ok' way. "Aiba do you want to play again or...?"
"It's your turn, Ohno," Aiba answered back taking the spinner from the red haired man who took in back in a fraction of a moment.
"I'm too tall," he answered back. "Unless Mr. Butler over there would be my Twister partner." Aiba blinked and looked at Aisling before taking a step over towards her. The butler seemed to blink a moment before nodding his head.
"Well...." he began.
"Come on," Ohno grinned back. "And then we can watch a four way war between Princess Ai," he made a gesture at Aiba who seemed to fume a fraction irritated by the nickname. "Aicile," he made a gesture to Aisling. "Sapphire," he made a gesture towards Sephira. "and Miss?" Ohno stopped and made a gesture at the girl who had just gone.
"Ariana," the girl answered back. Ohno put a hand to his chin and seemed to be thinking over something.
"Hm... Ari-Nari," Ohno finished happy to find a strange rhyme to work with the name. Ariana seemed to blink. Aiba laughed nervously and shook his head.
"He gives nicknames to everyone," Aiba answered the confused look.
"So how about it? A finishing Twister and then a kid Twister war," Ohno laughed lightly.

"Well that was an interesting meeting...." Matsu sighed outwards as both he and the dark haired man walked out from the building. Nino said nothing but simply continued walking. "It was good to see everyone and..." Matsu started.
"You can stop now..." Nino answered back. "I know you're slipping too." Matsu stopped and sighed a fraction looking downwards as they both continued to walk. "And I..." Nino started before shaking his head. "I didn't know that..."
"They weren't supposed to know," Matsu sighed outwards closing his single eye. "Only Sho-kun..... but I guess..." Matsu said nothing but shook his head and waved the air around him with a discontented look.
"The ceremony is tomorrow...." Nino all but sighed darkly as he suddenly stopped walking.
"It's..... for the best...." Matsu said shaking his head as though trying to prove this to himself. "Right?" he finally asked looking at the dark haired man who said nothing back. "I mean... I..." the white haired man tried but broke off. Nino didn't even attempt to speak. Finally Matsu just sighed outwards and nodded to himself. Both continued walking through the forest area.
