Rakan grinned."you guys will see",she said calmly. Then ginned stopping outside the cottage."home,away from home,private ... quite, and relaxing!",he said happily.

Sakura's face lit up slightly, looking around.wow...",she said softly.

Finx slid out of the car and the opening of the door opening woke Athena who waited patiently for Erik to get out before bounding away into the woods.

Sakura looked around happily."this is beautiful"

Rakan smiled."go explore ...."

Sakura grinned and went off into the house to look around.

Finx followed behind her leaving the boys to carry the luggage.


Erik watched them go "There's so much more to Finx then we first thought."

Rakan smiled."ah glad you see it",he said grabbing the bags.

"Just don't tell her I said that." Erik said with a shrug

Rakan laughed some then sighed."so, Sakura, you two okay?",he askednow looking concerned."both of you are quite..."

"it's been a weird couple of days." Erik said with a sigh "But I'll talk to her later."

FInx was inside with Sakura "It's nice here."

Rakan nodded."good... it might help her out if she talks about it with you"

Sakura nodded."it is",she then looked to her." Finx.....h-how many people....did i hurt?"

"I'm not sure." Finx said choosing to be honest with her "We where busy with the alien and didn't get to hear any news."

Erik helped take the luggage inside.

Sakura nodded."i see",she said softly."did i hurt any of you?"

Rakan paused entering hearing Sakura and Finx talking he quitely set the bags down.

"No." Finx said "We're all fine for the most part. I mean the alien attack left a few bruises."

Sakura looked releaved a little."good"

Rakan smiled as they entered."so like it Sakura?"

Sakura nodded."yeah its great!"

Rakan grinned."good, well theres a lake to swim in just down the path .... and everywhere here you can explore ....rest a relax...."

"We can go swimming." Finx said taking Sakura's hand "I care not that we have no swimsuits."

Rakan ,looked to her and smiled."go on you two, enjoy you selfs then"

Sakura looked to Finx and smiled."lets go"

Finx ran for the lake and dived in cloths and all.

Bell laughed and quicklly followed jumping in after her.

Rakan smiled."i think its good for Sakura to have Finx cheer her up...."

"It's true...never thought I would think are loner would like us." Erik said with a sigh.

Rakan blinked looking to him."what do you mean"

"Finx has always separated herself from us." Erik said "Surely you noticed that."

Rakan nodded."yeah ..... but its a good thing she does like us"

"True." Erik chuckled "We would be screwed if she didn't."

Rakan laughed."see?",he then looked to him."lets go join the girls1"

"Sure." Erik said heading for the lake were Finx was splashing Sakura.

Sakura laughed and splashed back.

Rakan smiled."ah there it is",he said calmly.
