"After I ripped her shirt open, she needed something to wear," answered Vladimir honestly, watching Talon's face to see how many colors he could count as it changed.

Shinobu smiled softly. "Do you want to go look for the Shogun?" she asked him, feeling slightly uncomfortable after what happened with Vlad and such.

Talon's eyes widened dramaticly and his jaw clenched. "Are you the reason her shoulder's bleeding?" he asked slowly, barely over a whisper. The image of Vlad trying to turn Tenele came to his mind. It was an image that churned his stomach.

"Depending on how you view the situation, I'm the reason her shoulder was not bleeding. Why don't you ask her yourself?" Vlad smiled at the fury in Talon's eyes and disappeared from sight.

Talon let out a shaky breath and eased all the muscles he had in his body that had been tensed by talking to Vlad. "Ask her, hu? Easier said than done..."

Talon turned to go back inside the inn. He needed to get everyone together so they could discuss how they were going to force Vlad to do something selfless with out him knowing how to do it.

It had to be someone he was close to. So far it was either Kyosuke or Tenele... It very well might be both of them...

Kyosuke shrugged. "We might as well go look for him," he replied. "Do you have any idea where to look? Wasn't that Tenele woman supposed to be with him?"

Shinobu looked quickly towards Tenele. "Yes... she was..."

Shinbou at the moment was too excited about getting to the Shogun to remember that Tenele might be in too much pain to tell them where the Shogun was.

She went to the woman, bowing out of respect with her hands clasped in front of her. "Lady Raider... might I ask where Kitanai-sama might be located?" she asked politely.

Tenele glanced up and looked the Ongorethian woman in the eyes. "Eh... he might be at the inn... The Dragun's Gut... I wouldn't recomend going there alone it's pretty rough... If he's not there than he could be anywhere..."

Shinobu thanked her and bowed, returning to Kyosuke. "She says he might be at the Dragun's Gut..."

Kaze and kami had returned right when the commotion died and they saw Talon return inside, leaving the No Life King outside.

"Hello Vlad," she said respectfully.

Vlad'had disappeared from Talon's sight and reappeared a short distance away with a stunning pulse in his chest, watching the angry elf calm himself and go back into the inn. So the cure to the curse was a selfless act. The concept was an affront to him, with all iits moral-highhandedness and pompousness. Far from encouraging him, the thought only made him indignant. But in the past, he had been a person who lived his life doing such ridiculous things. Talon's words about the hypothetical advantages of his death called back to his mind, raising a smirk to his face.

Deep behind the thought, however, a subtle pang of bitterness caught the vampire off guard.

"Hello, Vlad," a voice from behind him distracted him while his irritation at the unwanted sentiment that crossed his mind was still half-formed. He turned to Kaze expressionlessly, recalling the 'cure' Talon had proposed earlier. It seemed he would be playing along for a while.

"Hello," he replied cordially, tipping his head slightly.

"I believe we passed the Dragon's Gut (ooc: or did you actually mean Dragun's?) on the way here," Kyosuke pointed out. "We can double back and check it out."

Meanwhile, the Shogun had began his wandering near the area around the inn he and Lady Tenele were staying at. They had seperated a while back and he decided that he should stay near the inn if he were to find her.

As they passed, Kaze gave Vlad a small grin and Kami waved his hand. But he stared at the No Life King for a bit.

"Did, something happen?" asked Kami. Don't let his ability to see trough people fail him now! Wait... he doesn't even have that ability. He just seemed to noticed a vague emotion of pissed-off-ness coming from this area.

Vlad looked to Kami. "Hardly, though there's a charming family reunion inside," he said ambiguously.

Kami arched an eyebrow until he was jerked away by Kaze. They entered the lobby of the inn again to find a woman who loked like Talon clutching her arms in pain.

"Eh, hello?" she said uncetainly.

Tenele's green gazy looked to the woman. "Hello," she said as politely as she could with the amount of pain running through her shoulder.

"I could handle that for you if you'd let me," Talon offered across the room.

"I'd rather eat dirt, thank you," Tenele commented back.

Shinobu looked at Kyosuke. "Let's go before they attack eachother again," she said softly, making her way to the door.

OOC: I meant dragon, lol

Kaze raised an eyebrow at the fleeing Shinobu and Kyosuke. Kami stiffled a chuckle.

"May I, ask who you are and um... eh..." Kaze didn't know how to respond.

Kyosuke · Post by **Kyosuke** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 6:28 pm

Kyosuke nodded. "Alright Shinobu-dono," the samurai agreed. He followed her out and the two started backtracking the path they had taken into town.
