Sartre sighed and got up. He gripped his sword tightly and walked alongside of her. He listened for anything unusual sounds, noises, voices....nothing. 'I have a really bad feeling....we shouldn't have split up...too late now..'

Kyoshi hummed merrily. He looked down at Aiko. 'Still sleeping? Wow...' He heard rustling behind him. Thinking it was a squirrel, he walked on.


Haratsu hiding behind the tree, glanced at Kyoshi. "What luck...Aiko's been knocked out. Guess I don't have to deal with her....should we take them both?" he persuaded Takeo.

Carissa woke up groggily. "T-Takeo? W-where are you?", she looked around the demolished building. she stepped outside and was warmed by the sun's glistening rays. 'Hmm...he's not here....I'll have to find him I guess..' she muttered a tracking spell.

Sartre thought for a moment. "Well, we could cover more ground by splitting up....okay here's what we'll do. We'll split up, Kyoshi, you take Aiko and head North from here, Serifina and I will head south, if any of us is in trouble send out red sparks in the air. We'll meet back here in 1 hour...got it?"

"Sir, yes sir!" Kyoshi laughed.

Sartre picked up a rock and thre it at Kyoshi.

Kyoshi dodged easily. "How could you miss?! I am, like, 5 feet away from you!"

"Shut up..." Sartre retorted.

"Alright then, I'll head up North, see you in an hour...sir." Kyoshi grinned. He picked up Aiko from the ground, and carried her walking north.


Haratsu nodded. "Fine , we'll go after him. Aiko should be with him...it'll be hard." Haratsu zipped up his coat. "S-should we disguise ourselves, and then attack when they let their guard down? Or should we just try a surprise attack? Either one, Aiko will see me and try to behead me or something revengeful in that category..."

"No sh**, Sherlock" Haratsu eyed Takeo. "So, where do we strike first, and whom?" he questioned him.

Aiko started breathing normally, though she didn't move.

Kyoshi put a hand on her temple and stood still. "She's unconscious right now, but she's fine. She used too much of her power...."

"So, in other words..she's tired?" Sartre asked.

Kyoshi grinned and nodded. "So........where should we head to next? Or do we split up as Serifina suggested?"

Kyoshi stepped forward and retrieved his sword, then he walked towards the wounded phoenix. He was waiting for the right moment to kill it.

Haratsu shrugged. "I was wondering if we should kill them off one by one...you know...of course we'll leave Serifina alive..." he looked at Takeo with a smile.

'NOW!' Kyoshi ran forward and struck the phoenix at the heart with the tip of his sword.

Haratsu got up, picked up his rifle and shoved it into his pocket.

The Phoenix gave one last dying shriek, and died.

Kyoshi wiped his forehead. He ran towards Aiko, he took out several feathers.
"Maybe this will help..." he gave them to Serifina.

Aiko didn't move or make a sound. She lay still, her breathing rate started to slow down.

Kyoshi finished his chant and aimed his sword at the phoenix. He threw it at her with great force. It wen staright into the air and went through the phoenix's uninjured wing.

The phoenix began to fall and landed on the bush. she began to shirek furiously, and started flapping her wings uselessly.

"We're going to need that wind now..." Kyoshi yelled towards Serifina.


Haratsu stared at the ground for a long time. "So....what do we do now?" he asked Takeo. "What's our next move?"

"What beats fire? Water or ice. It's very easy to defeat a phoenix, just spray it with either water or freeze it and phoenix down...but the difficult thing is that..phoenixes are very fast...so it's very hard to aim. Which is why I'm going to try to pin it down." Kyoshi whispered.

Aiko was already in the air dodging the Phoenix's deadly flames and snatching claws. "Anytime now..." Aiko yelled impatiently.

Sartre took out his shotgun and aimed. He fired.

The phoenix yelled in agony, the bullet broke a bone in its wing. She looked around for someone to blame. She saw Kyoshi muttering something. She streaked towards him.

'Oh no you don't!' Aiko thought angrily. She flew towards the phoenix and pulled her tail with all her strength, while plucking a few feathers. 'Uh...oh...' she stared at the phoenix, frozen in fear. She turned and flew upwards as fast as she can.

The phoenix followed furiously. suddenly, there was an explosion, and something black fell towards the earth.

Aiko fell to the ground with a sickening crack.

Sartre laughed. "Right...so...how are we to team up?" Sartre asked.

Kyoshi leaned towards Aiko. He grinned his stupid grin at her.

Aiko started laughing aloud. She wiped away tears from her eyes. "Well, I can guess where they might be..but I'm not sure. Toshiro's checking his old base cirhg tnow...he'll be back in a few.....umm...hours...so where do we begin searching?"

Kyoshi shrugged. He looked up at the sky. "Hey, Toshiro's back.." he pointed at a fiery bird soaring aimlessly in the sky.

Aiko looked up confused. "Huh?" Her eyes widened. "U-umm..Kyoshi, t-that's not T-Toshiro...that's a r-rogue phoenix..." She started backing away into the trees. "Just hope it doesn't see us..." she whispered.

The phoenix cocked his head and noticed them. It started shrieking and sent a massive shower of sparks towards them.

"CRAP! RUN!" Aiko shouted as she jumped over a bush. She took out her sword.

"ARE YOU CRAZY??!!" Kyoshi yelled at her. "That phoenix is just as fast as Toshiro is, you'll never catch up to it to be able to strike...."

"Fine, what are our other options?" retorted a very annoyed Aiko.

"First, we'll need a distraction.." he looked towards Aiko hopefully.

"Oh no...I will NOT be a distraction..." Aiko yelled back.

"We have no time to argue about this!!! Go and fly around it, while we think of something..." Kyoshi muttered.

"Hmm.....we'll need to split up to cover as much ground as possible" Kyoshi said. He eyed Aiko warily.

"I'll head south..." Aiko muttered.

Kyoshi raked his hair, "You sure you don't want me to go with you?"

Aiko shrugged. "It doesn't matter..."

Kyoshi shook his head. "so where are you two headed?" he looked towards Serifina and Sartre.

"Umm....I don't think we should split up....that may be a bad idea..if one of us found him, then we are outnumbered. Odds are Haratsu teamed up with Takeo, and then we would be fighting a losing battle, 2 to 1..." he said reasonably.

Hee-hee! *throws water balloon at Kasey* RUN AWAY! *runs away full speed*

Haratsu laughed. "Nope...see, she was my first crush...and then she met Kyoshi when she was 16 (Aiko's now 18), and yeah....I...umm....killed him. And Aiko is now trailing me. I never expressed my feelings toward her...so she didn't know that I loved her..so i decided to erase Kyoshi from her mind...but After I had killed him, I made it worse. She later revived Kyoshi, and he doesnt know what happened...so...that's all you need to know correct?"


Aiko gripped her sword. 'I'm not losing him again, next time I will show no mercy...'

Kyoshi looked towards Aiko. He sighed and walked towards her. "We're going to look for him....you coming?" he asked gently.

Aiko nodded.

Kyoshi gripped her hand, and followed Sartre out the building. "Where should we start looking?" he asked Sartre.

"I dunno......Serifina? Any ideas?"

Aiko didn't say a word, she just stared at the space where Haratsu was standing moments ago.

Kyoshi shrugged. "I can trace them, but since I can't pick up the trail, they must be hundreds of miles away..or else they've tampered with my skills and hidden their 'scents'."

Sartre stomped on the ground, "DAMMIT we almost had them!"


Haratsu sighed. "I thought I was a goner back there, anyways...about Aiko? We were childhood friends when we were little..like she was 8 and I was like 10...it was fun." he remembered.

Sartre swears. "He gropes around for something to hold. He bumps into Kyoshi.

"ACK!" Kyoshi yelles as he falls down.

"OMG! Get a grip!" Aiko yells as she helps Kyoshi up. "Then, she pushes him back down.

"Ow....what was that for?"

"Hmm....'I feel your pain'...does that ring a bell to you?"

Sartre snickered.

Kyoshi sighed. "Fine, whatever.."

Aiko smiled, and helps Serifina. She looks around for Haratsu. He's gone. O.O ...."WTF??!!! OMG HIS ASS IS SCREWED WHEN I SEE HIM AGAIN!!!" she yells at the top of her lungs.

Kyoshi covers his ears. "Damn....I swear I'm going to go deaf if you scream anymore.."

Aiko stares at the spot Haratsu disappeared, fuming.

Sartre smiled. "Yeah, and you can finally see......great....." he said sarcastically.

Kyoshi coulnd't help himself but laugh.

Aiko hit him in the ribs. "You guys are both crazy...I don't even know why I"m here in the first place...."

"You're here to rescue me...so that nobody would hurt me right?" Haratsu gave Aiko a smile.

o.O "In your dreams!!!" *punches Haratsu*

"OW!" Haratsu cringed. "Jeez..."

"Haha...now you can feel my pain.....oops." he stared at Aiko.

o.O O.o >.< "I'll deal with you later..."

Haratsu laughed. "Ooooo......busted."

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK!!!" she smashed Haratsu's head into the wall.

'Now would be a very good time to think about the plan, I don't think I'll be alive for much longer...' he communicated to Takeo.
