((Wooho! Three different PoVs, and I've got to get Arashi to go see Shade and Caldwell.... << Let's see how this turns out. And er why would Arashi be running....? What face did Sakura wanted to make?! o.0))

Yukio ((This might be short))
Yukio nodded to the brother's response, acknowledging that they were in. "Currently Amaya has gone to ask Arashi, but I believe she will be asking Sakura as well. Perhaps we will ask Caldwell? It will depends, once he gets down from that building." Saying so, he looked up to where Caldwell and Shade sat, wondering what on earth had gone on. "Come on, let's go over there."

Arashi and Amaya (Wow dat pairing >>))
To help Sakura lie on his shoulder properly, Arashi decided he would carry her like he did his younger sister when she was a baby. (Yes, Sakura is now a baby XD sry bout that, Loli)) "Yes, that's why I came here in the first place! I would love to join you guys! But er... What of the other three? Caldwell, Dimitri... and er...."
"Shade." Amaya replied, rolling her eyes. "We plan on asking Caldwell, but we are not sure if the other two would come. It seems that they'd rather not go near them."
Arashi nodded, shifting a bit to help Sakura feel comfortable. "Alright then, hey Sakura?" Arashi asked softly. Do you mind if I go onto the roof to ask Caldwell and check on Shade?"

((Sorry, WB for a bit here))

(I was gonna wait for the other two to reply, but I am clearly too impatient XD. And Sakura would have made her b****y 'why are you even talking to me' face)
"Nah that's fine," Sakura replied, jumping down off of Arashi and shifting back. "You guys are wasting your time though. He'll probably say no." Sakura looked up at Caldwell, who was sitting next to Shade and staring off into the distance. He had the same blank look on his face that he always had. Does that boy have any emotions at all?. As Arashi and Amaya walked away from her, she stuck her tongue out at Caldwell. It made her feel slightly happier, even though he couldn't see her.
~~~~~
(Dark, I'm going to assume that Shade said nothing in response if that's okay?)
"Okay, I understand if you don't want to talk about it," was all he said upon the lack of response from Shade. He noticed that it was a bit windy on top of the building. It was colder up here than it was on the ground, something that Caldwell greatly enjoyed. He stared off into the sky in the vague direction of the Glacier, and wondered what things were like back home. Were they rebuilding well?
Amaya and Arashi eventually made their way to him, followed closely by Yukio and the brothers (they were going over there too, right?) Oh joy, he thought bitterly, wrapping his hands up in his scarf unconsciously. Another interrogation

Shade ignored the boy sitting next to her, and swiftly rubbed her eyes free of tears. She got up and looked down on Dmitri. "Don't aggravate dmitri if you value your life." She snapped at him before turning so her back was to the edge of the city. She leaped backwards off the edge falling for a few seconds. Her eyes widened and she spun, elegantly turning into the beautiful white falcon that she was. She gracefully perched on Dmitri's shoulder and glared defiantly at the rest of them. "Shade is getting us dinner." Dmitri announced to the group. Shade looked shocked for a moment then beat her powerful wings and sped off.

About an hour later, Shade mysteriously appeared out of an alley way nearby carrying a big deer. She had blood smeared down her arms, and trickling down her face. They gasped at her. "Calm down, its not mine." They relaxed slightly but then Shade put them on edge again by saying. "But, it's not all the deer's either...I kinda ran into some p****d off members off the Dark Gang, and yeah. If someone asks you for information about a quadruple homoside, don't tell them it was me, ok?!" She chuckled at their horrifies and startled faces. "Come on. Dmitri knows well enough that anyone who gets in the way of dinner gets killed." Dmitr laughed. "96 all over again huh?" Shade smiled mischeviously. "Nah, I was thinking more of 1988 but ok!" Through the course of the night, Shade and Dmitri shared loads of gripping and thrilling stories, that had everyone captivated and everyone became friendlier and closer...but no matter how much coaxing they receive, Dmitri and Shade did not share everythin

(so did everyone join?)
After the night of storytelling was over (currently morning). Shane "we should probably head to the sign up center if we want to be a team". Peace "as much as I hate it he is right we don't want to waste much time". Shane and Peace after a few wrong turn finally found the building they were looking for. Peace "and now you know why we didn't want to waste time we have no idea were we are going". Shane "finally found it". Peace "let get this team underway". Peace and Shane race each other into the building (it's a building right?) making sure the others were still following.

Shade and dmitri held open the door as the others entered. There was barely anyone there. "I bet they were too scared to sign up." they frowned at her disapprovingly, then she said uncomfortably. "Sorry. Coping mechansim." they walked up to what they thought was a reception desk and were greeted by a goth looking woman. "You'll do. Put your names here." confused glances spread around the group. "well that was easy." dmitri announced.

Good news! You can now add another character to how many you already have if you want to. If you're happy with how many you have now, that's fine too!

Everyone wrote their names down on the sheet. The goth lady scanned the list. She turned to leave, but then came back. "I'll be needing you all to write down your clans and show your shifts if you have one as well. We need to make sure we aren't putting people who aren't strong enough in danger." Sakura knew that just signing names sounded way too easy. There had to be a catch. She happily followed the instructions, writing down 'awesome as Gleasra fox' next to her name. She passed the list on to Caldwell, who was standing next to her. He passed it on quickly, simply writing Uisce, even though Sakura knew he was a shifter. "Still being as mysterious as always I see," she whispered, folding her arms. Caldwell was a liar to his heart. She changed into fox mode. The goth chick looked Caldwell up and down, clearly deciding that his tall build would make him capable of being on the team, despite having 'no shift'.
~~~~
Caldwell watched as the list was handed around. He had gotten away with lying. That seemed to be the only thing that he could do exceptionally these days.
"CALDY, BABY!!!!!!!" A voice squealed from behind him. He froze, knowing that voice all too well.Why the hell is Rusalka here of all places?. The light haired girl ran up to him, throwing her arms around his neck. He stood their rigidly, trying not to react to her at all. "What are you doing with this bunch of weaklings. No offence guys, but Caldy could do better." The whole group just stared at Rusalka. Caldwell peeled her off, and silently apologised to the group for her behaviour. "YOU shouldn't be here," he muttered, keeping his voice low. She ignored him. Rusalka caught sight of the sheet. "Ohhh, going to fight the Dark Gang. You know you'll all just die anyway, why even try?" she said cheerfully. This earned Rusalka even more hateful glares from everyone else. Go away, go away, go away
Caldwell wished in his head that Rusalka would shut up, but things got even worse from there. "And I see you haven't put your shift down! Naughty boy," she said, grinning at him. Dammit!
The goth lady gave Caldwell a dirty look. "If you are lying, I'll know. I'm a blood shifter," she said, narrowing her eyes at him. "Do you have a shift or not?"
Caldwell looked at the floor, defeated. He cursed Rusalka. Why does she always have to do this? "Yes ma'am."

(okay, so I don't know if Caldwell should shift now or not, so you guys can control the goth lady and decide that whether he's going to be forced to XD )

Yukio, Arashi, Amaya, ??? ((I'll get Arashi's friend here later~ And Ru and my three of my characters won't go together well >> Amaya and Yukio seems to not like showing emotions, while the new char is the same... So Amaya and Yukio skipped out on some of the stories! Sry Dark.)

Amaya and Yukio already knew that they hated this girl, her actions, the way she spoke, everything about her. ((SORRY)) And it seemed that Arashi would be staying away from her as well, seeing as how the Aeir native was backing away slowly. Amaya growled, but held in her anger. They didn't need to know her occupation so soon, and they didn't need to know of her shift either, as that would reveal her identity. Yukio glanced over, already knowing she had trouble controlling her anger, as the same went for him. He was furious, as he had heard her say 'weak' and sooooo badly wanted to rip her throat out, but knew that that would be what she wanted - a reaction. He had seen these type of people before, and whispered to Amaya not to show the girl that she was affected by what she had say, though Amaya already detected the anger in Yukio's voice.
"I also saw you didn't put your shift down," Yukio whispered, trying to calm the both of them. "well, so did I, I hope we'll be accepted though."
"Heh, you could tell?" Came the soft reply, anger already fading from her voice.
Smirking back Yukio continued quietly, "Of course. We might not have been together for long, but I know you're a shifter."
The older girl chuckled, looking back to Caldwell and his apparent 'girlfriend'. I wonder what's his shift though.
"Young man, I demand you write down your shift this-"
"Boom!" The door slammed opened, cutting off the lady.
"There's no need, Gwen. If he refuses to show his shift, then it's fine. He'll show us on the way." Spoke a female teen with flaming red hair, a katana in her hand and a raven sitting atop her shoulder.
"Akari!" Arashi shouted, running to meet his childhood friend. Akari opened her arms, and both embraced, having not seen each other for nearly a year.
"It's good to see you, Arashi. So this your team?"
The Aeir member nodded, stepping aside to let her survey the group.
"They seem fine enough, but who's that lady there? She does not seem suited for battle." Akari said, pointing to Rusalka ((Akari does not know her name though>>))

Shade and Dmitri rolled their eyes at the sudden change of things. "Well then, if everyone else is done then I suppose..." She snatched away the paper from the others read through it, and put 3 names down. Hers, Dmitri's and another. Dmitri's eyed widened. "WHAT?!" He yelled. Everyone turned to stare at him. A shriek erupted from behind them and Dmitri and Shade shifted. A beautiful golden eagle whizzed towards them like a blur. Shade took off flying straight up, while Dmitri the pantha just sat there looking depressed. Why can't I fly? Shade and the other bird dove straight down, pulling up mere millimetres from the floor. It had the desired effect. It was like a depth charge was let off and everyone stumbled backwards. They landed on top of the reception desk and shifted back, revealing Shade and Harry? "For those of you who do not know," She started, eying Dmitri, "I thought it would be good to introduce you to the guy me and Dmitri went to see earlier. His name is Harry, he's from the fola clan and some call him master of the shadows." All of a sudden, he seemed to disappear. Lots of what's, and how's, could be heard coming from various people, all now standing in a group by the front desk. "You see, he hasn't got some mystical power, he just knows where the weak spots are in people's vision. I can see him perfectly, but you cannot because he's playing with your weakspots. Now, can we hurry up and sign up already? I wanna get on the road here."

Before the words even left Shade's mouth, Amaya had already knew what the newcomer did, having done so many times in the past, and easily spotted the newcomer. But before anyone noticed her staring at him, she turned, acting shocked and scared. She hated to do this, but she guessed she'll show what she could do when confronted with the gang, or if Rusalka made her mad enough, but that would take a loooooong while.
Tapping her shoulder, Yukio asked softly, not trusting anyone else here but his companion. "Do you...?"
Already knowing the question he was asking, she replied 'yes', lips pulling back into a smirk once again. She would like to have sparred with the two fola members, but decided to do so at a later date. Not until she trusted them not to tell anyone else about what she could do, like she trusted Yukio. Besides, if she didn't he would be dead. Usually, her final goodbye to a victim would be 'If you see me, you're already dead', and she kept that promise, most of the time, no one saw the killing blow.
"Heh," Yukio said, chuckling. He'd chosen a good partner, and the flame haired girl - Akari, was it - seemed like a good addition, with the inclusion of Caldwell, despite him not showing his shift. However, it seemed that Arashi would save their arses in many a situation, as would the three earth and plant users, but he did not trust the other four. They seemed to be hiding something dark.
"It's evening. I suggest we find a place to rest and get some food before setting off in the morning." Yukio said, addressing the group, and saw that out of his eye, Akari nodded.
"Yes. That seems wise. However, do pass that list to me. I wish to take part as well"
Quickly writing her details save her shift, she handed the paper to the clerk, and she nodded, signing them up as a group. "Should we encounter any others, we can always come back here to sign them up, or once we're done with our mission, we can include their names. Now come, my house is big enough to house the lot of you, though some of you will need to share rooms. I do hope you don't mind this"
Arashi nodded, continuing, "Yeah, she has a huge house, and she can easily house us for the night, as well as preparing all necessities for tonight, and I think her family won't mend lending us some horses or other stuff to get us ready for the trip ahead."
"That is true, we also have a lead as to where the Dark gang may be, as well as where they were last seen." ((Loli, help >> Give me a location or smt as to where they were last seen lol))
Amaya and Yukio nodded, seeming to be satisfied with this decision, but wondered if the others would take it, they were after all, a group, and no one was yet declared leader. ((Caldwell or Sakura anyone? Or we could have a leader that no one agrees with >> And we could add in fights between the group members or just have no leader at all. I vote no leader lol))
"Wait, Rusalka?" Arashi asked in a timid voice. "Will you be joining us on this quest?" She was after all, here now, so it seemed like nothing would go wrong if he asked. He failed to see several people tense up though. Akari sighed, shaking her head at her naive yet powerful friend. She really needed to do something about that personality of his. Maybe this trip would make him a littles less timid, or better yet, not timid at all.

Shade and Harry looked at each other, seemingly worried. "If you don't mind, we'll meet up with you in the morning. We have...er..." Shade looked at Dmitri for help but his lips grew to an evil grin. "Yes Shade, we have to do what...exactly?" Shade glared at him as the last word left his mouth. Dmitri turned to the others. "Ignore her, we'd be happy to spend the night with you, wouldn't we?" Dmitri turned to look at Shade and Harry but they'd already gone. Everyone's head snapped to the door as it closed. "You b!tch." Dmitri muttered.

He was lead to the lady's house and were each assigned a room. Dmitri had one all to himself as Shade and Harry were gone. "Why go now? There are hundreds of opportunities to go and find it out." Suddenly, a faint tapping came from the window. He went over and un hitched the window. Harry and Shade, in bird form, collapsed through the open window. After catching there breath, they shifted back and Harry burst out. "THEY'RE HERE!" Dmitri took a deep breath before replying. "Who?" They gulped.
"Your parents." Dmitri was outraged. He tore off the door and went downstairs, waking everyone else. He slammed the big heavy door shut as they all assembled in the lobby. "Well done Harry. Keep him calm was what you said. Bravo." Shade clapped sarcastically. Aware that everyone was watching, Shade then said. "I think we should tell them now." The next hour consisted of the two telling them everything about Dmitri, Shade and Harry. The group's faces by the end of it, were so disapproving, Shade wanted to curl up in a ball and die.
