Avery hadn't noticed that Velvet and his tails were entwined. When he did, he let out a soft purr. He looked up to the slowly darkening sky. He had also noticed that there wasn't any fire on his fur. He listened to sounds of the forest. He had started to hear owls and crickets.

(Okay...um... imma just assume that means that Avery isn't meeting up with my two?????? So I guess they'll just go chill with the others :3)
Caldwell paused. He thought he had heard something, like a foot falling. "What was that?" he asked Sakura, urging her to stop. She slowed and listened, her ears twitching. She looked around, trying to distinguish anything unusual from the trees, but she found nothing to worry about. "Quit being paranoid Bunny Boy," she replied, her voice full of teasing. She sprinted ahead, glad to be in front of Caldwell again, but he quickly caught up. They went on like this, following the burnt tracks through the grass until they found a giant blue lake. The water glistened and it was all still, except for an area over the other side. Sakura could just make out the shapes of her team mates. She glanced at Caldwell who had quickly shifted back to human form, his cheeks bright red. She smirked as she went back to normal as well. "What now? she asked him, trying to keep a straight face. He shrugged at her, not really in the mood to talk. (Poor Caldy's ego is wounded ;) ) Sakura was mildly amused by the fact that she was currently being the more mature of the two of them. "I guess we'll stay here then, see how long it takes for them to notice us," she said, taking a seat next to him. They sat in silence staring at the ripples on the water.

"Alright, Yukio, since I'm a fire user, I want you to put out the flames I make with ice."
Said boy nodded, and prepared himself, while glancing over at Amaya and Arashi. Amaya had chosen to help Arashi with his close combat skills, while Akari would help Yukio. Without warning, flames started springing up, and Yukio acted on instinct, using water to douse the flames. With a sigh, Akari stopped. "I said ice not water."
Muttering an apology, the young Usice member calmed himself, and they started again.

"Now, try attacking me." Amaya told Arashi, as they had been training the male's defense for the past fifteen minutes.
Arashi gulped and nodded, shifting his stance again. He was thankful Amaya hadn't felt it was difficult to teach him. Trying to land a blow - it would be hard since Amaya's reflexes were a lot faster - he was thankful that they hadn't changed to the grunt costume, as just as they were done grumbling and were about to don the costumes, Shade shut them in.

Another half an hour past before they called in quits, in favor of checking to see if the others were alright. Amaya stretched, and noticed two shapes over the water. Taking a step, she dashed across the lake's surface, stopping in front of Caldwell and Sakura. They hadn't been here before. Had they just came? Or we're they too absorbed in their training to notice them.
"So how long have you guys been here?" She asked as Arashi floated thee others across the lake.

Shane and Peace were helping Shade and Dmitri back to the cave the group was originally at. Peace "Emily this is the cave we were at last night I think the others will eventually come back, Harry should be still around here though I don't recall him leaving". Shane "before dark I want to sleep it's been a long day". Ladia (chuckles) "besides everyone was mad at Shade and Dmitri i'm sure they will find us soon enough". Shane "I gave the insane scientist just enough space to breath normal she can't take a deep breath but we will check on her in the morning". Peace "I never seen you that mad bro what was up?". Shane's jaw just drops. Shane "she threw a sword, at my face!". To add to his point he unsheathed the stolen sword. Ladia "whats with you and robbing the dark gang?". Shane "would you rather have me with a weapon or Sophia with one?". Peace "depends are you mad?". Shane "shut up".

Shade was pi55ed. She glared at Ladia. "I do realize you possessed me, i hope you know that. I also would like you to know that i saw and heard everything." She was fighting so hard not to lose it. The last time she was possessed she was 7 years old, and someone had made her try and kill Dmitri and her family. She was not best pleased. "Couldn't you have left me knocked out? Because I'd officially come round just as big bear came! BUT YOU WERE STILL IN MY BODY! BLOODY HELL WOMAN!" She was barely keeping it in control. Dmitri had just come round and leant on her shoulder. "Wha...? What...*yawn*...happened....*drowsy smile*...here?" Shade rolled her eyes. "Where's harry? Like, who did he follow?" Silence. "Oh come on surely one of you know?!" Dmitri slowly straightened at her words. Shade clenched her fists. This was the last straw. She shifted and flew off over the trees, completely ignoring the new arrival mentioned by...someone?! Shade couldn't be bothered to pay attention. She wasn't sure where she was flying to, she just had to get away. That experience brought unpleasant memories back, she still didn't know who possessed her all those years ago.

"Oh, you know, basically the whole time," Sakura replied, acting nonchalant. She then proceeded to try and pick up her bags only to fall flat on her face. "Real smooth," said Caldwell, snorting at her. Idiotic as usual, he thought. Caldwell looked out onto the water, where he could see the sun's brilliant reflection beginning to set. "I suppose that's our call to find everyone else," Caldwell addressed the whole group.

The four agreed, but not before Arashi had asked if Sakura was alright. The rest merely blinked. "I wonder if the rest missed us...?" Amaya wondered, as she was settled on a tree branch. Yukio stayed below with the others, and they began walking back to the cave, glancing behind to make sure Caldwell and Sakura were following.

Shane "uh.. Dmitri do we just let her burn out or do we really go after her?". Ladia "How did she know" Ladia said mumbling to herself. Peace just looked back and forth but when Dmitri yawned he just wanted to go to sleep himself and soon he was the only one sleeping.

Velvet started awake with the sound of purring next to her. She looked over and noticed that neither her or Avery had bothered to change back into their human forms. Seeing their tails entwined, she gently removed her tail from his and nudged him with her head to get him to wake up. It was dawn and they needed to get going again to find the camps. When Avery didn't wake up, Velvet nudged him again and growled, warning him that if he didn't wake up he was going to be in trouble. Meaning a cat fight.

Avery suddenly woke up to see their tails unentwined. Morning! He wouldn't be late. He got up quickly. Br.. It was a little cold. He had heard Velvet growl a moment ago. He quickly shifted to human form. "I'm awake, I'm awake!" He said wiping his fogged up glasses, so he could see.
