Skye stopped and turned towards the girl. "I apologize, for I do not. If you wish for money, please want, and I shall return. If you wish for a meal, you may follow." He said, turning to leave once more. "And I insist you do not cause any more trouble." He said in his usual tone and began to walk again. He didn't need to see the girl to know who she was. Her aura never changed and was very easy to recognize. The emotion he felt from her was devious. But all the same, he couldn't leave one who seeked help on their own.

Rioku howled, but not for Skye, for Knight. Blazer flew overhead from where Skye was and too the cabin, trough the hole in the roof and to Knight, pulling his shirt. Knight yawned. "Thieves? Alright, fine." He groaned, sitting up, rubbing his eyes and walking out of the cabin. He looked up at Blazer and nodded, running at a tree, then straight up it's trunk and across it's branches. Rioku gathered the thugs and trapped them, their weapons useless for the knowledge of the wolf's mind. Blazer lead Knight's way.

Hunter's ears perked and he looked up at Mayia. [Rioku needs me. You stay somewhere safe.] He said using his growl and dashed away. Mayia nodded and just stepped to the side of the path and leaned against the stone fence with her hands behind her back and looking down, waiting.

[Pockyy]

Riko breathed out sharply. Ahh, she thought, t'is the real hero. She sneered the word real as if it was not worth saying. Ignoring him, she slyly hid behind a tree and wait for another civillian. Thankfully, another did come by and offer her a small pouch of money. She took it with fake graciousness and smile. Greedily, she skipped into town and ordered a feast from the bakers.

What shall I call you? He asked- thought- in hiis head. The dragon blew a wisp of smoke from its nostrails. I don't know- why don't you give me one? It replied with a chuckle. Maybe Kira, Xaria, Sapphire? He pondered to her. The dragon nodded its head, Xaria. He pulled a little smile and picked up a strip of dried meat for Xaria. "So... how long have you had her?" Akane dared to ask, weary of the dragon. Dragon meant Reapers.

Knight arrived at the scene, glaring at the men. "Alright, leave the goods and no one gets killed." He said, summoning a bow to his hands with no arrows at hand. Rioku growled and Blazer, shot blazing feathers at their feet that marred the stone tiles of the ground and burnt them bit by bit. The thugs were frightened enough and obeyed. "I'm not returning it. Blazer. Find Skye. He'll do it." He yawned lazily, going back to the bakery for his usual sweet bun snack.

Skye, in the meantime, was at the cabin, feeding th livestock and tending to the garden. Seeing as there was nothing else to tendto there, he went back into to town,playing his guitar on the edge of the town square's fountain.

[Pockyy]

James shrugged, "Only hatched yesterday." He said bluntly. Angel whined and scrabbled at the door. Akane sighed. "Well, I'm going into town to see the Association. You should probably stay here." James winced slightly at the word 'association'. He nodded slightly as Akane let herself out. She walked over into town and pushed open the door to the bakers.

Riko munched on her cheese loaf, glaring at anyone walking by. She took particular interest in a girl that had just walked in. Her hair was honey coloured and eyes blue. She smelt different, her trained nose was tingling. She frowned, trying to figure out what the smell was. The girl had paid for two cinnamon rolls and sat in a armchair in the corner. Riko decided- stake out.

[Mayiamaru]

Knight walked into the bakery without a care. Seeing a girl just glaring at Akane gave him a bit of a chuckle as he ordered his usual. Six sweet buns. He looked over at the girl with a sly look. "You know, it's not nice to stare." He said quietly. He was leaning against the counter and smiling smugly.

Skye was able to pass the people of the streets and had follow Blazer to the pile of items left on the cobblestones that made the path around the meadow. Few by few, he would vanish with them in contact and using the memories left in that house, he placed them back as they were. Just as he finished and was about to leave, a man and a woman walked through the door, hand in hand. They gasped and the woman ran into town, yelling about theives. Skye knew who they were, but remained silent. Mr. Sohma held Skye's arms behind his back, but Skye did not resist and just shut his eyes, his expression remaining cold and blank.

[Pockyy]

Riko coughed alittle. "Excuse me?" She said, daring him. She looked at him, eyes narrowed and cold. A little smile played on her lips; atleast she knows something that he does not. Akane couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Knight and the curious girl. Deciding to ignore it, she let her eyes hover around the room, glancing once or twice at the conflict. Riko restrained herself from baring her teeth, tearing viciously at her bread.

((Ahh WB ^^; sorry Dx))

[Mayiamaru]

(no problem XD)

Knight just chuckled kindly and smiled happily. "Don't think I don't know what you were doing. Or what you are for that matter." He said arrogantly, taking a bite from his bun. To him, it seemed more like a regular convorsation between two people rather than a blackmail that his words made it sound like. "But I won't stop you." He smirked, looking out the window where police officers and guards from other manor rushed passed unsuspecting shoppers.

Akane's Mother was in the group outside, stopped for a second to continue showing the way and then started running again, although her face wasn't shown, her clothing gave away her identity. They were rushing towards the Sohma Manor, after getting word of a theif. Once they entered, they took their weapons and gatthered round the mysterious man in a long cloak. Mr. Sohma moving away and to his wife, glaring at the strange man. Unable to see most of his face because of the hat that shadowed his features.

Skye remained silent throughout the scene. He left with them silently after they cuffed his hands and feet behind his back. Rioku and Blazer were about to attack, but Skye's gaze towards them convinced them otherwise. These people were human. He couldn't injure humans, especially for such a slight misunderstanding.

[Pockyy]

Akane sighed, finishing up her meal. Dusting herself off, she walked out of the shop, ignoring the confrontation between Riko and Knight. She walked out on the busy street, shading her eyes from the glaring sun as she looked up at the wizened building housing the Association. She started navigating her way through, avoiding the hustle and bustle, bursting forth into a quiet path. No-one wanted to mess with the Association.

Riko gave a little hiss to the stranger. Standing up, she flounced out of the bakery to the streets. She had sensed that the girl was going to the Association. Sighing, she dashed off through the alleyways, hoping to find Olah.

[Mayiamaru]

Knight just chuckled and stepped outside, giving a sharp whistle and Blazer flying to his side. "Follow her. I'm going to watch Skye." He said lowly and chuckled, walking to the alley and jumping to the rooftops by rebounding off other walls and fences.

Skye's eyes moved slowly, catching a glimpse of both Knight approaching and Akane, passing him by. He finally lifted his head and turned it subtly, speaking in a strange tone. "Begone." He said with blank eyes. Knight had heard him, regardless of distance and gasped, slipping from the roof and falling forward. He was lucky enough to catch his leg on a tree limb and balance himself. The men were even more wary of Skye. "Take him to court. Gather all witnesses and anyone who may know him. Miss." The man said, now turning towards Mrs. Sohma. "Bring any who live within your household to the court tomorrow morning. We will keep the man in our prison til the trial or he confesses so we may find a suitable punishment." He said in a serious tone. They lead Skye away, disappearing over the hill and to their base.

[Pockyy]

Riko dashed through the alleyways, sneaking in through a hidden trapdoor, disguised as the cobbles on the streets. She jumped down, closing thee hatch firmly behind her. She walked through the rowdy room, tugging her hood on. She sat slumped at the bar; "I need to find Brythe." She whispered to the bartender. The whole room went silent. "What business do you have with him?" He hissed back, the room stopping to a stand still. Riko's eyes flashign red, out of the blue she sprang into her evil form. She grabbed the bartender by the collar, hissing again her question. He stammered a answer and Riko dropped him,. gripping her sword as she entered through a simple oak door, closing it firmly behind her.
