"I should have been abled to do more!" he said, acidly. "Im supposed to protect her, yet I couldnt even protect myself when I got captured" he said.

Shakura listened. She wished she could do something to stop this.. Maybe she could. She quietly snuck out through here window.

( i gots a plan)

"But...you...You all came back fine! Even if you guys got injured and had trouble, you still came back! Don't dwell over the past, Zack! Doing that will just make things worse! You need to focus on what's happening now! You had trouble and couldn't get yourself out of a mess, but that doesn't mean you're weak or anything! it just means you're human...ish! Everyone makes mistakes! No one is the almighty person who can protect everyone and anyone! Don't be naive! We all need to work together in battles! Running away and causing shit like this to happen makes things much worse! Don't make it so all the battling is handled by you....Shaku can fight to! When you both fight, you can kick some ass! When you do it alone, you can kick some ass, too, but not as much as you do together! I can tell....you're worried about being weak and not being able to protect her...but you can do it! You just have to work with her! I'm nothing but a little girl trapped in an older girl's body...but I do know something! You have to work together to accomplish things, protect things, and be happy...Besides, it's not all about Shakura. I mean, yeah, we do have to protect her, but...you need to worry about making sure you'll be okay too!", Nella said before having to take a deep breath. "We all have t protect each other...don't make it so you get hurt in the end and we have to do this...So no more running away when you get pissed, no more getting pissed about stupid things, and no more taking all the responsibility!"

[shoot]

Zach said nothing. As much as he hated to Admit it, he knew Nella had a point. "Maybe your right.........Nella vanilla." he said.

(YOU STALKER!!! D< you knew Nella's rhyme! oh wait...I posted that in here. xD)

Nella smiled at Zachary and giggled when she heard him use her rhyme. "Your name is Zack and have have a nice back! Your favorite color is ice and black!" , Nella said with a giggle.

"Wow, you correct on all "he said, smiling

Nella giggled, "I'm good with rhyming!"

he started tickling her for the hell of it.

Nella laughed and pushed Zach away. "Stop it!", she said before she ran away. She then started looking for Shakura.

(ok shakura gives herself up to keep you guys from getting hurt and then you guys can try to save her but see it is going to be hard but in the end you do but it has to take a bit.)

Shakura just walked around town. She knew she was bound t run into a bounty hunter if she did. she would't let her friends get harmed.

[One of u's is the Bounty hunter this time]

Zach looked around "Shakura?...."he tried a mental link.

Nella looked under all of the beds and in the sectioned off parts of the hotel room. She blinked a few times, before looked at an open window. Her heart sank as she figured out that Shakura left. Nella sunk down onto her knees and leaned on the window sill. "She left...", Nella said to Zack.. She wasn't sure if he heard her, but she didn't care. he'd probably figure it out anyway...Why were all of these guys just running away? All they did was jump out windows and run. They'd ditch Nella and then come back angry, sad, or emotional. it was getting tiresome and annoying. It's like they couldn't even be together for one hour before someone running off and having to fight. Nella had had enough of it. "Zach, lets not do this..."

Zack picked up Nella, and pulled her onto his back "Come on...were gonna search for Shakura "he said.

Nella just laid on his back and sighed. "WHy? She ran away for a reason...obviously she doesn't want to be with us. Why else would she leave?"

"If i know Shakura, thats not the reason "he said.

"Why?", Nella asked.

Shakura heard the mental link. zach i'm sorry don't do anything stupid like follow me. i am doing this to save you both she thought to him before she cut off the link. She was then surrounded by four elementals. She didn't try anything when they captured her. They put fire proof ice cuffs on her to keep her from escaping and began back to the village.

"is she- what the- Is she dumb!?"he said,and sprinted towards the village

The elementals soon arrived at the village. It had been a while since she had been here but nothing had changed. They took her towards the royal palace which is where here father would be.

(i don't want to be the father)

[not it, im always the auxilary people]

(Pfff. you just want me to be it for once. At least I get some action.)

Shakura's father sat on his thrown, waiting for the elemental to arrive. He was tapping his finger on his chair's arm rest growing impatient. They had failed one to many times, if they failed him once more he'd kick their ass and get his little girl back himself.

Nella looked at Zach with worry in her eyes. "What happened?"

The elementals entered the throne room and brought shakura before him. "Your majesty we have brought you the princess," they said. Shakura said nothing and didn't look at her father but stared at the floor instead.

The king stared at his daughter. he was disappointed in her, and he was happy she was back. "Come here."

Shakura hesitated then walked to him til she was standing infront of him.

Zach entered the Area, and kept a low head. He held a cloak over him and nella. "Keep quiet!" he said.
