"That would be a good idea. Would you like to come?" Elisa asked since she would feel better if Taylor did come with her.

"If you don't mind," Taylor replied. He could put his plans on capturing another Bishie first.

"See you later. " Carly said and hoped that Elisa and Taylor would get to the Bishie in time.

Taylor and Elisa waved good bye to the rest of the gang as they headed towards the town while the two headed towards the outskirts of the town. "I'm following you Elisa, just like last time," he said.

"We are getting closer. I think." Elisa said as they approached the trees. She just hoped they were going in the right direction.

Blake Belladonna was hurt. There, she admitted it. However, she was far from out and she would take anyone that tried attacking her down with her, even if her secret was exposed in the process. She saw two humans coming towards her and wondered what was going on, especially since the mastermind never sent tamers out after her...If she was caught by a tamer aligned with the person running this...

"Elisa, why don't you call Ruby out? Maybe she can help find her friend," Taylor suggested.

Elisa nodded and got Ruby's Bishie ball out. " We think we are close to your friend. " She said once Ruby was out.

"I'll see what I can do to help," Ruby said as she tried searching for her friend. She was always able to tell where the others were if they were nearby, something that she didn't understand but truly didn't question. "She's above us in the trees...and she's hurt. Almost as bad as I was when you found me," Ruby replied.

Blake saw Ruby appear out of a bishieball and scowled, quickly wincing as the pain from earlier spiked. If she didn't get this treated soon, she knew it was going to kill her. Seeing that she was unable to hid or surprise them anymore, she made her best efforts to land on the ground without aggravating her wound too much.

" You're safe. We can help. " Elisa said hoping that Blake would trust them.

Blake rose an eyebrow at that. "How do I know I can trust you?" she asked.

" I don't like seeing others hurt. Ruby can tell you that is true. " Elisa said.

"She's telling the truth Blake...they saved me from the cold. Please...we just want to help you" Ruby said.

" I'll trust you for now. I just want to get out if here. " Blake said having a feeling they had to move quick.

Elisa and Taylor nodded in understanding. "Are you sure you're okay to move? I have a Bishie who can help," Taylor said.

" I can wait. I just want to get out if here. " Blake said feeling tense.

Ruby could sense the tenseness in the air as she unhooked Crescent Rose from its resting place on her back. "She's right...we should go," Ruby said. While she didn't have the same type of senses as Blake did, she knew to trust her friend all the same.

Several Bishies under the control of Chris were following the blood of the 'kitten' that they wounded only moments ago. The fact that Inuyasha, Shippou, Kiba Inuzuka and Kakashi Hatake were amongst the group spelled trouble for Blake.

" Sora you think we can cause a distraction!" Taylor said once he got Sora out feeling these Bishies were under some sort of influence.

"I can think of a few combo spells that I've been meaning to try out. Guess this is a good time," Sora replied to his friend's question with a goofy grin on his face. "Ladies, get going, we'll cover you. Aeroga!" Sora said before casting his strongest defense spell around the trio.

" You three head to safety. We shouldn't be too long. " Taylor said to Eve , Ruby and Blake.

(Think you meant Elisa, not Eve)

"Elisa looked back towards them before nodding slightly. "I'm holding you to that!" she shouted as she and Ruby ran away from the crowd, Blake limping along with them.

( I did. Sorry. Been distracted lately. My 6 month old cousin has cancer really bad and there isn't much chance he'll live to see his first birthday. )

Taylor kept his eye on the Bishies and hoped they would make it out of here safely. " Do we have a chance Sora?" He asked hoping they did.

(That's sad to hear...Just don't give up hope and if you want to talk, feel free to PM me. I'm always here to listen if you need it)

"A decent chance, but...do you trust me?" Sora asked. He was planning on using Brave Form, but from what he understood had to fuse with either his tamer or a warrior-based Bishie. It was the only thing he could think of that would get them out of this situation alive.

( I'm trying not to. He does have a small chance if he gets a bone marrow transplant. My aunt asked me if it would be alright if I got tested. I'll do it but I think my other cousins will be closer matches. )

" Of course I trust you. Why do you ask?" Taylor asked.

(Whatever happens, I hope that he lives.)

Sora explained the Brave Form to Taylor.

( I hope so too. )


"I'm ready when you are ."Taylor said knowing that this would work.
