Taylor bit her lip, making her wince and yelp a bit fromit , but she ignored it as she pulled him through the crows. She searched them frantically when her eyes locked onto the forest, she could hear an enraged roar erupt behind them and she gasped. "Kaoru! Please! Do me a favor! I'm lettin your hand go! And once I do!" She looked into his eyes,"RUN FOR THE WOODS! AND DONT STOP! I SWEAR TO GOD! DONT STOP!" She flung him forward then turned and saw James charging at her, she begged the Kaoru wouldnt stop as she whirred on her heels and went east, to Rays stand. she waved her arms as she screeched,"RAY! HEADS UP!" She ran even faster, used his crates to give her a boost as she scrambled to the top of his market shack. Ray blinked then saw James rushing towards him and he growled,"Oh no you ain't." He snapped and as JAmes went to follow Taylor Ray right hooked the skinny ld in the gut, causing him to spit up blood and go skiddng and he lay in a daze. Taylor sat on the roof, panting heavily,"Heh, thanks.. Ray." Ray looked up at her,"How long he's been here?"
"Not even a day." She panted, he chuckled and then she caught her breath as she stared at the stars then asjed,"Hey Ray, you got any Pocky?"
"Yep."
She sighed,"Can I buy some?"
"It's on the house kiddo." Ray chuckled and Taylor blinked as she chucked a pack up at her and she caught it just barely, then smiled,"Thanks Ray... You may wanna get Makato to take him to the jail or something."
Ray laughed,"I'll take care of it."
Taylor then climbed down slowly and took a shortcut through the woods behind Rays place, and began running for the place where she knew Kaoru would have ended up if he had kept running like she said.
