[Wyndbain]

"Tobias!!" The cry pushed past her vocals without even realising it had been done. She sat upright instantly, confusing images of the dream flashing in her mind...an utter nightmare of chaos as she tried to straighten everything out...

Akashi had his sword in his hand, head frantically searching for any sight of his sister's body. His sences had told him a change had taken place, and that their souls had been returned to the right bodys, yet where his sister was now he was desperately trying to find out.

[Kikuyoshi]

"oh...gawd...." A sturdy hand held his stomach, his face turned away from both Tari and Akashi. "I think i'm going to throw up..."

Tari's face turned a slight green-ish hue as she quickly turned away, not at all wanting to see Tobias do what he was about to do...nor hear it either, and thus promptly covered her ears. "Damnit Tobias..."

~~~~~

Sturdy arms moved about Blazingtear's frame, Legato's face comming into view as his chin rested on her shoulder from behind. "it was a dream love...nothing more." A softer smile caressed his lips than that of what Blazingtear had "dreamed" and he seemed almost natural. "By the way...who's Tobias?" A smirk caressed his mouth as if he were teasing her, slowly pulling away from her. He wasn't at all dressed like he appeared in the "dream"...his attire wasn't harsh at all. Instead, it resembled that Aoshi's clothing a bit...save for his pants were white and his shirt was navy blue. Going about his buisness as if nothing was at all out of place, Legato pointed to a small trey by Blaze's bedside. "I brought you breakfast...I don't know if your hungry but you should eat something. It'll help you feel better after that nasty cold you caught."

[Wyndbain]

"Geeze!" Akashi turned away with a disgusted look on his face. "At least he warned us..."

"I guess someone from my dream..." She frowned, trying to recall the images, "It's strange...he's not real...yet..." She stopped, and at the mention of food her stomach did a few flip-flops so she quickly shook her head, which she regreted when the small movement brought on a wave of nausea. "I don't think I could handle anything right now..." The sudden discomfort distracted her, BlazingTear no longer thinking about the strange, 'dream'.

[Kikuyoshi]

Coughing, Tobias finally looked up, ears flat against his head. "Why the hell are you both standing there like that?" Eyes narrowed as he tried to stand up, though, not entirely used to his own body anymore, he stumbled a bit. "Why aren't you looking for blaze!"

Tari kept her gaze turned from Tobias, her attention directed off into the distance, her heart aching for her younger brother. "There's no trace of her...it's almost as if....she never existed." Cranium dropped "Tobias...if my nose can't pick up her scent...she hasn't technically been here..."

~~~~

one brow arched at Blazingtear's words, though a gentle hand reached out at the sight of her about to become sick, softly pulling back her hair out of her face. "You want me to get you some water? It's obvious your still feeling ill..." For a fraction of a second, his entire image changed...as if he were an illusion. His attire changed back to what it once was...a white trenchcoat with spikes portruding from the shoulder...and he was laughing. However, the mind trick disappered almost instantly...barely enough time for her to think it was real.

[Wyndbain]

"Finding her by scent won't work...Legato apparently has telekinesis, there's no telling what other tricks he can pull. Teleportation...mind control...the usual stuff." Akashi returned his sword to it's sheath, only to draw it out quickly and slash at the air and point the tip towards the earth. The sword clattered to the ground and simply lay there as any other inanimate object would. Akashi looked annoyed as he crossed his arms, "Can't even locate Blaze with that..."

BlazingTear nodded, feeling her own head with the back of her hand to check for fever, thinking the brief illusion nothing more than a trick of illness.

[Kikuyoshi]

"maybe...i can be of some assistance" Going unnoticed by the entire group, this figure had appeared quite suddenly, body leaning up nonchelantly against a rather large oak tree as his black trenchcoat fluttered about his feet. His scent proved to be that of a somewhat familiar one, though from where one could not be certain. A swift hand dug deep within his pocket, drawing forth a small, yet highly professional looking silver pistol, to which he swung the little metal object around on his finger before grasping it tightly. "The name's Spencer"

That name was all that was needed to trigger Tobias' memory, familiar feelings of irritation and annoyance as well as a soft, hidden layer of respect now stirring within his blood. "You're Aoshi's brother...aren't you?...


~~~

"Would you like me to get you a cold, damp towel for your forhead?" Steel blue orbs shifted in her favor, their gaze slowly rolling over her until they reached her face. "I want you to feel better so you can come sit outside in the sun...it's such a lovely day" Something was wrong with this picture...an unsettling uneasyness could be felt througout the room, yet the cause of it could not be pinpointed...at least not to blaze. However, Legato's mind raced at the prospect that he could soon become hunted by Spencer...and with him on his tail...they would have to move. Either that or Legato would have to come up with one hell of a better disguise for the place they were in.

[Wyndbain]

"Aoshi's brother?" Though Akashi had never met Aoshi himself, he had managed to hear a bit about the man from Mage, but his brother? He couldn't remember if Blaze had mentioned to Mage anything about him.


BlazingTear seemed to feel slightly better after even the mention of going outside. The open air would probably be better than staying inside and might even cure her to full health. "I think I'd feel much better if we could go outside right now. The fresh air would be so refreshing." She smiled, making slow movements to get out of the bed, careful not to rush and make herself dizzy.

[Kikuyoshi]

Spencer winced at the sound of his brother's name "...don't compare me with him...we're two separate people." Bad blood between the two perhaps? Nay...the real reason was he was simply tired of being mistaken for Aoshi...or always having to live up to Aoshi's standard in the way people viewed him. He was the brother of a mercyless assassin...and was expected to live up to that reputation when in fact he had never once gotten that close. Irritatedly, spencer shoved the gun back into his pocket, stormy blue spheres surveying the area and the people within it. The woman he had seen earlier was no where to be seen...the young demoness seeming to have disappear into thin air. No matter.

Tobias shook his head, glancing back behind him to find that tari had taken her leave. He couldn't blame her...and didn't, for in fact, she was probably out scouting the area at that exact moment in search of any clues that might point to where blazingtear was being held captive. ....she couldn't have meant what she said...she would've only said it had she no other choice......right?

~~~~

A pleased smile covered Legato's lips, outstretching a hand towards Blazingtear in order to help her up. "Comeon then...i'll help you out into the sunshine. You can relax by the manmade hotspring in the back if you like..."

[Wyndbain]

"Can't really compare, I've never met the guy." Akashi carefully picked up his sword, returning it to the hidden sheath at his side. "Now then..." He turned to face Spencer, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, "How can you assist us?"

BlazingTear shook her head, "I think I'll just enjoy the breeze." She moved her own hand to take his, using his strength to help her up and make up for the lack of her own. From beneath the sheets near where she had been laying came a small mewl of protest as the covers moved in a mound. Following after BlazingTear came Doushiko, who stretched and opened her jaws wide in a lazy yawn.

[Kikuyoshi]

A slight hue of crimson splashed onto Legato's cheeks, his gaze directed at Blazingtear's garments. Coughing lightly, he quickly turned away. "Er...maybe i should let you dress first...seeing as your still in your night garments..."

~~

"i can start...." He paused, glancing over at Akashi, his gaze then shifting towards the sky. "By telling you where to find Blaze..." Swift fingers drew out a massive gun from underneath the depths of his trenchcoat, pointing the tip towards the sky and the pulling the trigger, firing a rather husky sized bullet streight into the air.

"what the hell are you thinking?! That bullet has to come back down you know..." Tobias spoke while edging away from the spot in which they were standing, not exactly wanting to get struck in the head with a bullet.

[Wyndbain]

"Oh!" A slight hue of red rose to her own cheeks as she looked down at the clothes she currently wore. She turned around, facing Doushiko and searched with her eyes for the more decent garments.

Akashi had no fear of guns unless one was pointed right at him, but as Spencer had fired his, Akashi's nerves jumped. He suspected that shot may have had something to do with what was needed to find Blaze, but on the other hand, a wild shot like that could come down as Tobias had said.

[Kikuyoshi]

The large bullet streamed upward through the air, a stream of white smoke trailing out behind it. Spencer rested the massivly sized weapon down on the ground, causing a small clink of metal to resonate, and leaned on it as though it were a walking stick. "Just watch..." A smirk had settled around the corners of his lips as his fingers brushed back a few strands of hair, eyes directed towards the sky. A few moments of nothing passed slowly, though the first signs of change happened quite rappidly in a series of events. A bright light flared out from the sky, the bullet seeming to be penetraiting some sort of forcefield right above them, and thus created an upward vortex as the bullet pushed through the seethrough walls, streatching them as though they were made of plasticwrap. Working quickly, spencer withdrew yet another weapon, this one being of a gun sort as well, yet a hook could be seen sticking out of the end of it. Firing quickly, hook took flight, a rope trailing behind it and again Spencer's quick hands proved useful. "Better get your asses in gear if you plan on comming along...You've got 1 minute tops to get over here and grab hold of the rope."

"What the shit did he do?!" Tobias stood in slight awe of what he was seeing in the sky, slightly mesmerized. Ears then perked at his words, quickly darting forward to grab hold of the rope. If this was the only way they were going to get to blaze...he sure as hell wasn't about to miss the ride.

Instantly all of Legato's senses were alert, having felt the penitration of the bullet on his forcefield. A small scowl formed on his lips, though not one that blaze could see...being as she had buisied herself with finding something more suitable to wear. She wouldn't have any trouble with that...seeing how he had supplied her room with various gowns and robes, each one unique and exquisite. He still had time...for Spencer did not know their exact location, and as luck would have it...he had chosen to enter at a spot that was on the direct opposite of where they were located...leaving Legato with time to plan his next move. As far as he was concerned...with the way he had reshaped Blaze's mind...the girl would most likely not even want to go back with them once they did arrive.

[Wyndbain]

Akashi did as was said and ran over quickly to grab the rope in his hands.

BlazingTear rummaged through the selection of clothing, choosing an adequate dress of dark material. Quickly she changed her clothes and admired the pattern of red blooming flowers that ran up the dress in a spiral.

[Kikuyoshi]

All three were jerked upward towards the sky, the barriar having been finally broken and the bullet now lay in place. Dangling several hundred feet up, Spencer gave a weak laugh. "This was the part i always hated..." Muscles strained as he pulled upwards on the rope, climbing it. "Now...we gotta climb."

"Does it look like i signed up for gym class?!" the irritated mutterings of Tobias carried upward towards the ears of those around him, clearly ticked at the fact that he had no idea what he had gotten himself into...and didn't have the power to get himself out of it...unless he climbed...or fell for that matter

~~~~

Slight and soft panic wavered at the back of Legato's eyes as he turned around, sure Blazingtear would be finished with dressing. A smile lit his lips, covering over the soft bit of doubt...thus causing it to vanish completely. "you read-?" Catching his breath, eyes traced up her body, admiring the choice of attire she had picked out. Once he had Tobias out of the way entirely...she would indeed make a very good wife for him. The best, he'd have to say, out of the other 300 some girls he had tucked away in his museums.

[Wyndbain]

"Is flying one of our options?" Akashi asked even as he placed one hand steadily over the other, wrapping one leg around the rope to make sure he didn't fall. He could easily climb this, but if having wings in his other form made the trip any less strenuous, he'd choose the wings.

She twirled around to face him, her cheeks tingeing with red when she saw his gaze. Doushiko had jumped from the bed and now wound her way in circles around Legato's heels, a thrumming purr sounding up from the little creature.
