Aeirin stared into the nothingness of her room with a calm yet dark mind. She ahd never learned the art of revenge, yet now it made her think... made her think more than she had about anything. I hate Noiren.... for killing Ryoen.... she thought to herself in a meditative state that forced everyone that could possibly be seeing into her thoughts away. She wouldn't allow anyone to see into her heart on such matters. Now the question remains as to what I shall do... I cannot face Noiren without obviously taking on Hiawai and being killed.... I could ask Solute to join me, but his loyalty would always be in question.... Vaporaii that witch obviously would do anything for Noiren... Asa... is a wild card....And Ryuu..... I hate him.... I hate him....
The orange haired woman finally sighed outwards and rose from her meditative place... or rather put her feet down from the way she had been sitting on the cushion of air that dissipated when she rose. Forming a fan in her hand, the orange haired woman swiped it through the air sharply causing it to hit a wall and crumbing the wall. She didn't even turn her head once to look at the damage to the wall but simply started to walk away. It was then that she caught sight of her familiar servant, Helga.
"You seem very dark, Aeirin...." Helga said aloud looking at the woman that had once been a child. She worried for her, yet there was nothing the fallen Valkyrie could do on the matters of her mistress. "What have you been thinking?" Helga continued walking closer towards Aeirin.
"It is none of your business," Aeirin snapped back with a cold stare. Helga felt the sudden reproachfulness that came with her lack of understanding on the matters of Aeirin at that point. She had never been scrutinized by or denied in any aspects by Aeirin. This was new... and it worried Helga despite the fact that she would never admit it. "I have work to do," Aeirin continued brushing past the woman and starting to form a door before taking the handle and opening it. "Don't bother me."
Helga turned a fraction and watched as Aeirin started out the door. "Miss Aeirin!" Helga said suddenly causing the orange haired woman to stop. However, Aeirin said nothing and only looked back with a blank stare. "I have no knowledge as to what has happened to you... but please m'lady... let me serve you... let me..." She bowed straight down on the ground right then and there. Aeirin stared darkly for a moment before turning back through the door. "I know you felt things for the other Master..... and I am willing to help you in anything and everything that you could possibly-"
"Kill the moratorium Ryuu Yuki. Don't give him warning, and don't tell him why. Just do it," Aeirin answered back before fully walking through the door. Helga looked back and watched her mistress disappear. Helga found her eyes growing as she came to an understanding that she would never again question her mistress. She would do it for she was not a mother to the Demon Lady Aeirin but her servant. She was her guard and her chess piece... and she would do what was asked of her....Nothing more.....
"Yes... M'lady," Helga answered back with a bow before opening a portal, stepping into it, and disappearing off towards the human world.

Ame was not in the mood to be trifled with. She had just gone through hell, fought a demon, and was now being left with the idea that Sho had left her with demons to take care of. She questioned her 'older brother' as she sometimes called him on these matters, yet a part of her was still not willing to believe that the bear man had left it all to her. Damn it Sho.... she thought to herself holding a fan and ready to smack anyone and everyone if need be.
As the demonic energy seemed to suddenly press into her, Ame's eyes grew and shot over towards where it appeared to be coming from. The kid? she thought to herself looking back at Ariana. However, after a moment, the feeling seemed to leave, and Ame was left with chills.
"Ame?" Ohno's voice said aloud causing the teal haired woman to blink. She felt as though she had been far away from reality for a moment and was coming back to it right then and there. Putting a hand up to her head, the teal haired woman sighed outwards.
"I need sleep...." she sighed. I don't...... she let another sigh out and said nothing for a moment. Ohno, who had empathetically zeroed in on Ame and Ame alone was now worried beyond reason. Suddenly Ohno felt a hand on his shoulder, and he found Ame looking at him quietly. Neither one said anything, yet Ohno felt his heart jump up a fraction. "Ohno are you ok with taking the kids yourself?" Ame asked. "I'm going to lie down back at the hotel." Ohno said nothing for a moment but finally nodded.
Aiba was already holding the door open to the restaurant not far off, and Ailsing was walking inwards followed by Sephira. Edanial had managed to escape everyone's glances and had followed Sephira and the others inwards. Mari and Kaki had followed upon seeing Aisling enter, yet Elle was still standing there waiting to see what the ending result of Ame would be. The last thing Ohno's eye caught was the demon butler and Ariana. He said nothing on the subject but was making mental tabs over and over again.
"Ame, I'll walk you there," Elle offered. "We can just eat at the hotel or something...." The teal haired woman was surprised by this notion but nodded to herself and forced a smile.
"Thank you," Ame answered aloud. Both started off towards the hotel not too far away from the restaurant in truth. Ohno watched them go before turning back to Ariana and the butler. The girl seemed to be recovering from whatever had suddenly taken to her, yet the red man said nothing and simply watched for a few more seconds. Damn... I should have been focusing broader.... the red haired man mused to himself a fraction before sighing outwards.
"Are you two coming?" he asked lightly.

Ame leaned on a wall in the elevator watching out the glass wall as she and Ame were headed up to the hotel room. Her hand was pressed fully on her stomach. "Are you ok?" Elle's voice caused Ame to blink and look back at the girl. Nodding slightly, the teal haired woman said nothing for a moment before removing her hand and showing fresh blood. Elle's eyes grew sharply for a minute before she rushed and was about to press the down button before Ame caught her arm and forced her to stop. "What happened? I thought Kaki healed you...." Elle continued on. Ame just smirked a bit.
"Some demon aura spiked earlier, and it reopened my wound a bit.... it's just light now though... don't worry...." Ame said breathing out. Elle didn't look convinced on the idea that it was light. "That other girl with the butler has something.... strange..." Ame continued shaking her head a bit. "We'll look into it later... I just...."
"You should be heading to the hospital with that..." Elle said aloud.
"I'm fine..." Ame answered back. "I don't want to worry Ohno or anyone else...." the teal haired woman sighed again feeling the slight pain just from breathing.
"You..." Elle said aloud.
"When we get up to the room, I'll bandage it myself," Ame finished. "Don't worry about it." Elle finally sighed outwards and nodded a bit. When the elevator door opened, Ame walked down the hall forcing herself to appear fine until finally opening the door and sitting down on her bed. Elle stood in the doorway a moment before finally entering the room. Ame looked up but said nothing as she took out a role of gauze and started wrapping it around herself.
"Back at that fight... I... you told me just to run... I didn't even get to fight...." Elle said quietly. Ame looked up now at the girl as she walked past her and sat on the other bed. "What was all that training for if you were just going to tell me to run?" Elle's voice was calm but pained at the same time.
"I wanted you to protect Mari and Kaki...." Ame answered back not looking up but continuing to wrap her stomach.
"I could have fought though...." Elle insisted with her voice stronger now. "I could have proven that..." However, she stopped when Ame looked up and smiled lightly. "I..." she tried again but fell silent.
"Would you rather prove yourself at the expense of their lives?" Ame asked aloud. "I told you to run because I didn't want them to be harmed. I never considered you weak, Elle. I was reacting to the situation at hand." Elle said nothing but looked away with still a rather hurt expression. Ame just sighed outwards and looked down.
She was feeling extremely dizzy for some reason, yet she was unsure as to why. "I think I'll get a drink...." Ame said rising a fraction before suddenly finding she couldn't breathe. The teal haired woman's eyes grew as she suddenly found herself on her hands and knees trying to force herself to breathe. Damn... that sword... had...poison.... the teal haired woman thought to herself feeling irritated at not thinking about it until then.... Close the wound... but left with a greater one....
"Ame???" Elle's voice was loud in Ame's ears, yet the teal haired woman would barely hear her.

Aiba stared down at the menu that had been provided. He had somehow managed to secure a large enough table for them all at the restaurant, and he was now sitting across from Aisling who was seated next to Sephira who was also seated next to Edanial. On the other side of Aiba, Mari sat down looking unsure of herself and to her right was Kaki. "I don't know what I want..." Aiba finally blinked looking down at the menu.
