"You won't. And besides, I have you and my magic to protect me," Sora said though he also knew that the others would help Taylor get him back if such a thing happened.

Kirito had left a note for Eve to find in an easy to see location since he didn't want to wake her. After the events of yesterday, he wanted to become stronger, for himself, as well as for his friends.

Eve saw the note and understood why he wanted to become stronger. " Are we ready to head to breakfast?" She asked Salem when she saw him in the sitting room.

Kirito breathed heavily as finished his final kata, ending with his strongest two-handed sword skill, Starburst Stream. Sweating lightly, he grinned before heading back to the hotel room.

"We are," Salem said with a light smile before asking how she had slept.

" I slept alright. How about you?" Eve asked. She knew Salem wanted to help Carly and Deanna and hoped he was able to find a way to.

"Once I got some sleep, I slept alright," Salem said. "Though I think I was able to help find a way to cure Carly and Deanna's mother," he added with a light grin.

" You did ? I do hope what you found out will help. " Eve said and knew Carly would be happy with this news.

"I hope so too," Salem said, knowing that it had to work. Otherwise it would kill her, something that Salem didn't want to happen.

Elisa was glad she was almost done getting the food out for Alex and his friends. She wanted to be able travel with them, but knew her mom needed her here. All Elisa wanted was to become a trainer and help keep the inn safe from the rowdy trainers that caused so much trouble.

(You still want to hook Elisa up with Taylor? If so, I think I have an idea...)

( Sure, if that's okay with you.What is your idea?)

(I'm okay with it, just like I'm okay with Carly/Alex. My idea was Taylor arriving earlier than everyone else and seeing some of the rogue trainers being jackasses and crude to Elisa, or something like that)

( I like that idea. [:)])

Taylor and Sora made their way towards breakfast that was held in the lobby of the hotel and wondered what today would bring.

Elisa was not doing well. Once she had finished setting up the table for Alex and his friends , some of the male trainers started rude to her. This always happened when her mom was away and everyone thought they could get away with everything. Elisa knew she would get blamed for this if her mom ever found out.

Taylor heard some loud voices going on and wondered what was happening, or had happened. Once he did so, he was immediately outraged by the harassment these people were giving Elisa. 'Are these people the trainers that Elisa was talking about?' he mentally asked.

Elisa saw Taylor and gave a desperate look since she was ready to punch these jerks and kick them out. She wouldn't do that of course since punching guests was against the rules her mother had in place.

Both Sora and Taylor saw the desperate look that Elisa gave them and decided on doing something a little reckless. "Sora, you think you can take on all of them, if they're trainers?" he asked his partner.

" I know I can." Sora said with a grin on his face.

"Alright," Taylor said before heading to the group that was harassing Elisa. "Morning fellas. You all wouldn't happen to be trainers, would you?" he asked.

" We are. Why do you care?" A blond haired male said. He hated it when idiots tried to ruin the fun he and his friends had.

Taylor shrugged at the news outwardly as he nonchalantly said, "No reason, I just wanted to see if the rumors were true."

" What rumors?" The trainer said. He was upset that he had run out of special bishieballs and couldn't find the guy who supplied them,since he saw a few bishies that he really wanted.

"Oh nothing much, just that they act tough but when the going gets tough, they turn tail like the cowards they really are," Taylor replied. He had a feeling that he was going to be glad to have trained with Sora for as long as he had in about a few moments.

" Who you calling a coward?!" The three said in unison. They were not going to let some punk tell them what they were.

Taylor smirked as he heard them say that. "all of you here actually. Unless you're willing to prove the rumors wrong..."
