The auburn haired male growled a little bit, careful to walk like everyone else, not losing sight of the people that had caught his interest, more importantly the guy who peaked his interest. He froze, he met the bright blue graze of the male who was being pulled away from him towards some building, that was when a couple of groups of people moved in front of him, one going each way, he ducked his head down some before quickly seeing a place to hide and went with one group towards it, away from their line of sight.

He blinked in surprise as the female who had been dragging the male to the candy shop just ran passed him, he was thankful that she didn’t notice him or noticing he was following them in his mind, he stayed away from them some, watching. He stood there for a few minutes, debating on wither to make his presence known to them, or to stay hidden and watch some more.

He chose to go with the latter of the two options, he was in the less crowded area but he slipped into a dark alleyway and watched the candy shop for that point, he could still be slightly seen if some one had been paying attention to him, but other then that he just leaned against the wall, watching and waitting, debatting on when or wiether or not to make his move.

Ross raised an eyebrow as he heard that the other new comer was running off. It seemed they were short one again for now. Shrugging it didn't exactly bother him. The young man waited silently for the rest of the group to come out of the tunnel. He watched as Amaki pulled herself out, followed by the new girl, and lastly Daemon. Silent as stone he stood there and looked around the group. He was curious as to what their next move was going to be. Yet he would not speak up and be the first to ask.

The dark haired woman smiled and shook her head as Kaine bent down to tie his shoes. Softly she crossed her arms as she waited for him and was surprised to see another person. Before she could act she was surprised to see Kaine with his fan already wielded. Then at his laugh she raised her eyebrow. Phoebe smiled when she realized who this person was.

"Pleasure to meet you. I've heard so much," she said delicately. Then she let herself listen to the conversation at hand. She was curious to hear what the two friends were going to discuss. Lightly she crossed her arms and rested her hand on her cheek as she listened. Pho was rather surprised at the conversation, yet there were many valid points there.

At the sound of being addressed the dark haired female looked towards Kaine. The look on his face seemed to express holding back, which she entirely agreed with. "I believe we should hang back... No use in all of us dying," she replied softly. "Besides I am far too busy to worry about planning an attack right now," she replied sarcastically. Part of her was curious as to where Sione had ended up. She had not seen her for awhile. Perhaps they would need to go look for the girl, but she did not want to say that in front of Berk.

Once Amaki was sure the group was up, she then pulled the straw covered rug back over the hole. Looking at the group she sighed before shaking her head; they had all five of them, but once again, they are missing one. "We best be heading back to the shop," she said, her voice quiet as she walked over to a series of large vases that sat in one corner of the room. They were filled with rags, but beneath them were baskets and clothing.

Wrapped amongst the cloth was also a dress; Daeman had once told her that she appeared less threatening if she wore lighter colors, and a dress of all things, so when 'undercover' that was what she wore. There were other articles of clothing in the vases for the others as well as random stuff that could be put into the baskets. Pulling out the dress and a basket of ribbon she said, "We change here, put your clothes in your basket as usual."

Walking out of the room she quickly changed, her clothes easily fit in the small basket, her boots hidden by the length of the dress. Once she was changed, she re-entered the room to await the others to take care of what they had to do.

Keir glanced at Alanna. It was obvious that she was thinking intently about something, and then her eyes began to water. Keir stared in shock. Had he said something wrong? He knew that girls at Alanna’s age were emotional, but to just begin to cry out of the blue without any provocation was ridiculous. He was about to ask what was wrong when she suddenly ran into the crowd. He would have been incredibly worried if he had not been so confused.

Keir sighed, slowly recovering from his surprise. He should have ran after her. If anything happened to Alanna while Keir was looking after her it would mean his head. Even the smallest scratch on Alanna would send her father into a frenzy. Keir knew this from experience.

He did not know why, but instead of looking for her he began to scan the now diminishing crowd for the watcher. Keir was strangely intrigued by the watcher even even though he had no idea what the watcher's motives were. He wanted to know why the watcher had been watching them and which side he was on, if any. He was disappointed, moments later, to find no one in the crowd of interest. On a whim his eyes moved towards the edge of the row of shops to look into an alleyway. Was someone there? He squinted. It was much too far away to be certain. He thought he saw a flash of color, eyes glowing dimly in the shadow.

“Hey, that’s—” he said, about to go to confront the shadows, when he was interrupted by a swift-moving Alanna. He flashed a smile at her. “Alanna, what were—” he began to say, but was interrupted again. Alanna, as she stood on her tiptoes, yanked on Keir’s collar bringing him down to face-level and planted a soft kiss on his cheek. Keir bit his tongue, using all of his control to stop himself from violently pushing her away. “You and I will be married one day. M’kay?”

Something dark shifted through his mind and his eyes grew tense, but only for a moment, it was quickly banished. He gave her one of his most brilliant smiles. “Aren’t you a little young to be thinking about marriage, Princess?” He asked and chuckled. “But either way I’m honored.” His answer was perfectly noncommittal and it would remain that way. In the end if he had to marry Alanna he would and if he had to feign love for her he would do that as well. He would complete his dream no matter the cost.

“Anyway, Princess, I may have found our watcher. Well, it’s either him or a random homeless person. I can’t tell from this distance.” Keir nodded subtly towards the alleyway that was in clear sight of the candy shop. “How do you wish to go about it?”

HERO

As usual the group was to take out their clothes from the bottom of the vases where the baskets and supplies were. Quickly, she grabbed the clothing she usually used changed into and the boots she usually wore. Amaki always told her that she looked much less intimidating if she wore regular clothing that girls wore during the summer time. But she also needed to be able to work with the flowers and everything so that the business still flourished.

Of course when the group got back to the flower shop (which, by the way, Daeman absolutely hates flowers), she knew that Amaki would want to talk to her about what happened earlier that day. Quickly she put her old clothes and boots in her basket which was bigger than the others because her supplies were usually new fertilizer for the flowers, which of course was in the basket along with plant food to mix with the water that they used. She had bought some earlier that morning because they were running out. She also walked out of the room to where Amaki was and stood with her, waiting for the others.

Not really sure what to do Dash watched the other girls carefully. Going over to the baskets she picked out a set of clothes to change into. Walking behind a big vase she quickly changed into the new clothes. She was now wearing a pair of black ripped jean shorts and a tight teal t-shirt. Chucking off the shoes she was wearing she put on a pair of black flats. Stuffing her clothes in a random basket she picked it up and joined the others.

Looking around she hoped someone would explain everything to her soon. It was all confusing and she would have to learn it all fast. Good thing she was a fast learner and that she actually liked to learn. Putting the basket on her hip she held the side of it, resting it there. She had a lot of basket holding experience before she became a HERO.

Amaki watched as the group slowly got ready, the only one left was Ross and she knew that he knew the routine by now. A small smile graced her lips, almost as though she were practicing being 'softer' for when they got back to work. In a sense she was, but at the same time, she liked seeing the group being able to blend in so well. "Ross, we'll leave you to bring up the rear and make sure everything is set over here," she said leaving the male quite a large task. The 'leader' was usually the one that stayed behind to do that, but with a new person in the group she thought it would be wise to get them going quickly and with the route she wanted them to take.

Amaki knew that after some 'missions', not all the members would take her way back, but she knew that her way had yet to have any issues and would prefer it to being the first way known among new members. She then looked to the girls before saying, "Let's head out, shall we?" She watched Daeman for a moment; the girl always taking the fertilizer when she had begged for her to let Ross do it since he was a guy and it seemed more appropriate. The girl never gave in though and now the people always saw her with it and never really thought about it, so she would guess.

There was an opening, probably once a door, with a ragged blanket now it its place. Rather than walking that way, Amaki returned to the room that she had just changed in and found an actual functioning door. This half of the building was watched far less than the other; seeing as people usually didn't wander around to this side of town whereas the other side was just on the outskirts of the active district.

Walking through the door, the girl squinted in the sunlight and had to fight the urge to put her goggles on. A girl that owned a flower shop would never do such a thing, especially with something tagged to the HERO's like her goggles. Lifting her free hand, she helped block the sun from getting to her exposed eye; she really did not like the daylight, it just didn't agree with her or her element.

al'Sinne

Before Alanna had a chance to speak, her eyes narrowed.

"Speak now, or leave." Growling lightly, she waited for a reply.

"My lady, as per your request, we have caught whiff of what we believe to be the HEROs." The slender male's copper hair covered his eyes and a black mask veiled his narrow face. The white top that had a small cape coming off the left shoulder was neatly hemmed with gold thread to form what appeared to be the royal crest.

"What are our orders, my lady?" The other male that spoke had a deeper voice and bleached white hair. Unlike his twin (yes, twin), this male had silver running through his shirt. The cloak was also sewn on the opposite site, but still managed to hang down to the same place (for the white male was slightly taller than the copper haired male).

In unison the two spoke. "Do you wish for us to destroy them? Or do you want us to stall the thieves for you?"

Alanna's face turned up toward Keir. With a perplexed look on her face, she tugged at her handsome friend's sleeve. "What say you, handsome? Shall we crash a party? Or do we want to let Copper Sun and Silver Moon handle the affair?"

Her eyes shifted some before she let them fall to the stone below their feet. "Personally, I think we ought to have these two assassins follow them. If we can find their hideaway and figure out their goals, then we can crush them with full force. But, that might be a little too... devious. Perhaps storming them now and thwarting an attack proves to be our better option. Keir," she said twisting her head to meet his, "I'll let you decide the outcome of this. I trust you will make the right decision."

HERO/REBELIANCE


Berk blushed when Pho spoke. Had Kaine really spoke that highly of him? It was odd, or at least Berk thought it was. Kaine was never really a man to speak of others. He rarely spoke at all, and there he was boasting if... Berk? It was just a little bit out of Kaine's nature. Either way, Berk decided to smile at his friend.

"Brilliant choice. But," he frowned, "I'm afraid I must be leaving. I simply cannot abandon my fellow HEROs."

His feet moved below him as he turned to salute Kaine and Pho. "Kaine. Phoebe. It was nice bumping into you. Should you need anything, let the spirits hear your voices and tell them to seek out the one and only Berk. I am, and will always be, a ghost away."

"Be careful, Berk. I know you all too well. Trouble always finds you. So do your best not to... well, end up like your spirit friends."

"Oh thanks. Way to boost my spirits. Erm... confidence."

Stepping away from the two, Berk started back toward the city, back to where his "friends" where. As he walked seamlessly about the streets he saw a man that looked oddly familiar. Walking over to him, Berk placed a hand on Kazuma.

"Do I know you?" He said looking Kazuma over some. He's kind of cute. Wait. What the hell am I saying? But still, I can't help but stare... but why am I staring! Ahhhh! Stupid mind. Topic change, topic change!

(I dont really know what to say... sorry.. im brain dead from all this studying for finals)

HERO

Amaki was weaving through the crowds of people in the busy market-like streets, a small smile on her face as some would look at her. This wasn't like the usual brash HERO, but these were civilians so she had to blend in with them as much as possible. Yet, even just from being from a different region, she stuck out like a sore thumb here. With the sunlight in her eyes, she had to wince, more than most people due to her abilities and fought the urge to react when people would bump into her.

It didn't take long for their building to come into view, because like the leader, the flower shop stood out as well. It once blended it with the rest of the stores, but then the creeping vines started growing up the sides until you couldn't see the original structure. Tourists to the area would probably believe that the building itself was just a giant plant that had made room for the doors and windows.

Once she arrived at the door, she nodded to the fellow shopkeepers at the neighboring stores; they each had a little bond where they would watch each others' stores while one way away. They were a trustworthy little bunch, even if the void user felt bad for unknowingly dragging them in, she was glad that they were there.

Pulling the key out of her basket, she unlocked the store and entered into the dark and cool building. Sunlight still poured in through the windows, but not quite as much with the vines borders the edges. The aroma of flowers was strong and comforting to the girl; it almost reminded her of home when she would play outside in the flowers there. Setting her basket down, she went over to the open/closed sign and flipped it open as she turned on the lights for the inside of the store. She then went back to the counter to put away the materials in the basket.

al'Sinne

Keir allowed himself only a brief moment to contemplate. “Princess, do you know much about gardening?” He questioned, albeit continued without waiting for a reply. “Weeds are tricky, undesirable plants. They cannot be destroyed by simply cutting them at their stem or by trying to smash them underfoot. They would almost certainly grow back and disturb the... harmony, you could say, of the garden.” He smiled meekly at himself. It was obvious Keir’s words were too cryptic to get his distinct point across. Unfortunately, he had the nasty habit of speaking in a roundabout, and sometimes metaphorical, manner when explaining his view.

“That being said it’s imperative to completely eradicate any threats to our lovely garden,” Keir told her. “We need to grab our little infestation by its roots and yank it out entirely as to not allow it to grow back a second time.”

Clarifying even further he added, “So yes, I agree with your plan, Princess.” He smiled gently at her. “It may be a bit ‘devious’, but so be it. We are al’Sinne. Why not keep up with appearances?”

Noting movement at the corner of his eye, Keir shifted his gaze back to the dark alleyway. Despite his vision being marginally obscured he could still tell that the suspicious person remained lurking there, watching him and Alanna. The movement Keir had noticed seconds earlier had not been caused by the watcher, but instead by a second man. Keir raised an eyebrow. That was strange. If this watcher really was an enemy spy, as Keir assumed, then he was an incredibly careless one. The arrival of the second man proved this notion. If those two were as suspicious as they appeared to be then why would they choose to congregate so close to their enemies, him and Alanna? Or perhaps they were both completely innocent and had the grave misfortune of appearing suspicious. This greatly peaked Keir’s interest.

He leaned down until his lips were almost touching Alanna’s ear. “It seems our watcher has a guest.” His voice was soft, his words for her ears only. “Do you still wish to confront him, Princess?”

Kazuma was really into watching his enemy, or his prey for much more of a better word, so when he felt someone’s hand on his shoulder, he jumped, pulling a blade out and pressing it into the man’s side. His wild cobalt blue eyes, locked onto him like a hungry caged tiger would to an on-looker, he watched him for a few minutes, blinking as he recognized him, putting his blade away as he nodded head to his question.

“Yes…whe meit.” he said to the man, sounding like a child as he spoke since the words were not something he was used too as he nodded his head, seeing the male he was interested looking over at them, well he pulled Berk towards him and kissed him on the lips, to make the person think it was just a couple being intimate. He didn’t have a problem with kissing the male after all he was sexy in his opinion so the sudden kiss was very much worth it.
