The Entrance

[Austin]

"Dont worry, we're going in convoy, you can just follow us"

[Darkota]

"Ok I'll just try and get Jaden up within the next 10 minutes or so"

[Austin]

"good good, i have to get some things anyway, meet outside, carry him if you have to"

[Darkota]

"He'll be there" said Darkota and he turned and went back into Jaden's room. He reached Jaden's bed and roughly shook him saying "Come on Jaden wake up"

[Austin]

Austin walked into his office and rummaged through his desk, looking for one particular book

[Darkota]

After 10 minutes of tring to wake Jaden, Darkota could not and began to wonder whether Jaden had put to much energy into fighting and was paying the price so Darkota picked up Jaden's body and put him over his shoulder saying as he went "Bloody hell Jaden how much do you way?" and carried him outside waiting for Austin to join him

[Austin]

((the others are outside already))

Austin found the book, it was red and leather bound, he sighed and opened it, looking at the latest page. It listed the members of the circle with a record of what happened to them, there was a depressing number of names crossed out; a testiment to the perils of the job. he put the book under his arm and found a pen, putting that in his pocket he walked out of his office and outside.

[Azrael Jiraco]

Azrael was still outside, but now he was sitting on the rock again.

Wonder what everyone else is up to.

[Alucard "Pyr0" Valentine]

Alucard looked down, then at Kunoichi "Everyone apart from... Ezekiel and...Cypher" he let out a long sigh and closed his eyes. "But there will be a time to remember later, right now we need to sort everything else out... like fixing the holes they made in the walls, for example. apart from that one there, that was my fault." he tried smiling to Kunoichi, glad she was alive.

[Kunoichi]

"Ezekiel and Cypher...? Wuh duh ma huh ta duh fung-kwong duh wai-shung doh!!"
She sat down cross legged, shaking her head, still muttering curses under her breath, when she stopped cursing her eyes filled with tears and she put her head in her hands, starting to cry, something she hadn't done in a very long time

[Alucard "Pyr0" Valentine]

"Here, Ara, wait here please" He said as she put her down on a large piece of rubble, then he walked over to Kunoichi and knelt down next to her
"Hey... no tears yet we need to be alert to make sure none of them are left..." He held her arm gently "the time to cry will be later. i know i want to, but we have to stay alert, just until we get to the bar... when we get there ill buy everyone drinks... Oh, please stop, or ill start to cry too!" He said with his voice starting to crack

[Kunoichi]

Kunoichi looked up at him tearfully, her eyes bloodshot and red, she nodded solmnly
"You're right"
her voice was unsteady, she stood and hugged him before breaking off
"I have to talk to Austin"
she started to walk off towards the entrance

[Alucard "Pyr0" Valentine]

Alucard watched Kunoichi walk away.
There had better be none left im not in the mood to fight anymore

[Kunoichi]

Kunoichi acknowledged Azrael before entering and making her way to the office, en route she met Austin
"Austin!"
she said, hugging him, happy to see him alive

[Austin]

Austin put his arms around Kunoichi and rubbed her back gently, she had always been like a little sister to him and he was very relieved to see her alive
"are you alright?"
