Lore: Forgotten Enemies

Soran waded over to Blade and collected him from the bank, considering it odd that he was becoming accustomed to dealing with two children. He climbed out of the water and shook his hair out, his black pants slick with water and clinging to his form. Unfortunately, they were also his only pair of pants. "I'm going to buy some things," he commented as he walked past the angel, skipping over her racing whip like it was a jump rope.

Siren stopped her whip play after Soran passed her, honing in on what he had just said.

"I'll come with you!" she said excitedly, running up next to Soran and fluttering her wings excitedly.

"We need to stock this house propperly with decent foods!" Of course, the only image really coming to mind was that of angel food cake topped with strawberries.

"Alright," the rogue replied warily, wondering how the angel's tastes would affect the efficiency of his mission. He let Rai down so she could walk on her own. "Coming, or guarding the house?" he asked.

"I want to come!" she told him, jumping up and down. "But, I'm hungry!" She shivered to, because coming out of the water made the outside feel cold to her.

Soran lifted his tan shirt back out of the grass from where he'd dropped it to run after Rai, and held it out in front of her. "This should fit you, temporarily," he said practically. He squeezed the extra water out of his pant legs and walked inside, heading up the stairs and into the bedroom that had been unused for years. The closet was empty as well as the shelves, as would be expected. He went to a dusty chest in the corner and slid off the lid, sniffing at the dust that blew up into his face as it moved. The inside of the chest was actually fairly clean, however, and he found some old books and a woman's thick cotton robe of a purple-brown color. It wasn't a terribly attractive color, and the correct guess was probably that the former lady of the house received it as a gift and prudently 'stored' it in the chest, then 'forgot' to pack it when they moved. Soran took the robe out and inspected it to be sure no bugs had been into the chest, then brought it outside and walked to the edge of the river where Mizuki seemed content in the water. He found himself staring at her and stopped, turning his attention to Blade as the child shifted slightly against his arm. Soran lay the robe out where she would find it when she came out, then called to her, "We're going to get some food and clothes. We'll be back soon."

Mizuki stopped swimming again and looked at Soran with a charming grin. "Alright. Will you be fine with Blade?" she asked, assuming he would take the baby with him.

"Yes," Soran nodded affirmatively, glancing at Blade as he turned back toward the house.

"Alright then." She smiled at Soran's back and continued swimming. Blade cooed in Soran's arms and diligantly sucked his thumb.

Rai giggled and put Soran's shirt on. The sleeves were a mile to long for her and her hands were hidden beneath them. The shirt went to her feet and she giggled at how funny she looked in it.

She buttoned it up and waddled in a circle with her arms out, trying not to trip over the bottom of the shirt. She giggled and jumped up and down, bare feet smashing down the grass in the same spot.

Siren watched the others, very glad that she herself was not sopping wet.

She wrapped her whip around her waist again as she waited for Soran and Rai to be ready, wondering if they intended to go shopping for clothes in dripping clothing.

She looked around, wondering what had happened to Soran's friend, figuring that his clothing must be damaged too from the look of his wounds, although she hadn't really noticed the night before.

Jhaptal finished his kodachi kata and resheathed the single blade. He had been just out of the range of sight of Soran and the others when they returned to the house and so they did not notice him. Finding himself dripping wet with sweat, the ninja decided that maybe he should quickly soak his head in the river to cool down.

Walking over to where the swimming had just taken place, he quickly dropped down to his knees and dunked his head underwater, quickly pulling it back up. After wiping the water away from his eyes, he suddenly noticed the presence of the Dark Angel. Grinning, he waved to her and said, "Hey there."

Rai bounced over to Soran. "Can we go now? Please?!" Rai said, laughing vey childishly. She felt so happy to have peace and not to be afraid all the time. Something in her mind had taken over and pushed back her memories... slowly she was beginning to forget. It was very strange, like the old Rai was dying and the new one, which seemed to be overly energetic and happy, was taking over...

Soran pulled his coat on as he blankly observed Rai's antics in his shirt, which looked enormous on her. "Alright, let's go," he said, and turned the corner to where Siren and Jhaptal had run into each other. "We're going," he warned them as he began walking down the street into town.

Mizuki swam more in the water. Relaxing and thinking to herself about anything that popped up in her mind. She dove down into the water, trying to see how long she could hold her breath and break her own record from her life on the ship. As she swam down towards the rivers deepest part she noticed something shiny in the riverbed. Curious, she swam closer and deeper until she came to it and brushed all the mud away from it. It looked like a gold band but she couldn't really examine it in the water.

Mizuki resurfaced and swam to the bank and examined the gold band in the sunlight. Evevntually she found different types of crudely cut jewles set into the gold band. Some were green and other diamonds, but there was a large ruby in the middle. It was beautiful for its crudely cut gems. Thinking it over about the ring, Mizuki finaly made a descision and swam back to shore and found a robe set out for her. She smiled fondly and wrapped it around herself, despite its nonflattering color.

Rai skipped along side Soran in the oversized shirt, well it wasn't oversized, but it wasn't her size...

She giggled, skipping in circles around Soran until she grew very tired and she walked beside him panting for breath.

"Can we fight people again?!" she asked excitedly.
