Shenba looks up at the angel. She looks away in disgust.

" pfft another angel...this place is plagued with them..Only one angel is my friend...I'm gonna go crazy if any more angels come...yuck "

Shenba looks back at the angel and gives her a harsh glare. *does she have red wings? or normal white?*

Shenba stands up and looks around...She looks at the cat then at the vampire..

" At least your part of the demon side "

Shenba walks away and out side. She sits just out side looking at the sky. She sighs and lowers her head.

" I Don't wanna live with out you...Its not the same with out you. "

Shenba keeps her pain and sorrow to her self along with her crying...

If I were a Slayers character, I'd be Sylphiel Nels Rada! Who would you be?

Soul Reaver, upon finishing his meal, thanks his ghostly hosts and rises.

"Please, would someone show me to my room? I think I should clean myself up somewhat."

A spectral young man, with slender fingers and a quiet smile, indicates that Soul Reaver should follow him. He leads Soul Reaver up a flight of steps and to an oaken door. Soul Reaver bows in the spirit's direction to convey his thanks. The spirit, smiling, returns the bow and disappears through the wall opposite.

Soul Reaver opens the door and walks into the guest room beyond. It is almost a bit too sumptious for his tastes... it does not suit the sight of the bedraggled, blood stained warrior now standing within it.

Soul Reaver heads into the adjoining bathroom. He turns the tap above the bath, and steaming water begins to fill it.

Running hot water... rather a luxury... and right now, one of my favourite technological marvels.

Soul Reaver unsummons the twisted remnants of his Black Steel armour, and the torn shreds of the blood-stained tunic beneath. He then lowers himself into the steaming hot bath, wincing slightly.

He closes his eyes, content to just forget about everything for a moment.

Meanwhile, somewhere else in the Umbra and far away from the palace, a dark intruder slips into the otherwise peaceful world of the dead. Wrapped in shadows, it moves with the speed of dreams, a billowing, flapping cloak wrapped impossibly about its form... its purpose driving it inexorably closer to its intended destination....

Shenba stands up. she smooths her cloths and puts dread lock hair behind her. She begins to walk down to the battle field. She walks up to tam and stans quietly behind her.

" Excuse me.. Tamrissa? I..I..um i can't...*sigh* I need to go see Kawanua...I'm sorry i just can't..I can't..what i mean is I just can't really...ugh... "

Shenba turns around and begins walking to Kawanua's grave. She kneels down and curls up near his grave. She punches the ground leaving a fist print on the dirt.

" Why...Its my fault your in Inferno now...I'd let Inferno take me if i could ahve you back...But im not brave enough to speak those words..If you were here i could..but now your gone...I'm alone..I can't live with out you...I love you..and now your gone. I now know how you felt when you killed Samantha accidently. "

Shenba lies down next to his grave still talking. She lets tears out and her emotions run free.

" I miss you.. "

Fei listens to Tam, almost growing kinda worried for himself and mindspeaks back to her. "Ummm.. come on now Tam.... nevermind.. very well.... but... she said I'm extremely handsome.... and I dunno..."

Fei kinda chuckles slightly, looking back at Alexial then back to Tam. After shaking his head and getting nowhere, Fei turns back to Alexial.... "Well, I guess you're coming with me then."

Fei turns around and begins to walk slowly behind Tamrissa, leading the way to the palace.

The spirits become more and more curious about their living guests, swirling around them and reaching out with pale hands to touch them briefly.

Those in the chambers above are even braver. They float about the rooms, sinking through walls to peer in at the occupants.

Two such spirits find their way into Soul's bath chamber. With only the smallest of sounds, a bucket of cold water is dumped over Soul's head from behind. The ghostly maids giggle silently and whirl around the room, the bucket hitting the floor. One moves up beside Soul in the tub, a bright grin on her translucent face, the other brings a towel over still laughing silently...

Tamrissa pauses as Shenba speaks to her. Her eyes glance sideways as the demoness expresses her sorrow. She watches as she wanders towards Kawanua's grave, pressing her lips together.

You are a typical male, Fei, she leaves it at that.

She breathes a sigh and glances at Gulver.

"Don't hold your breath. You won't be leaving if I have my say."

Her head whips back towards the palace and she walks up the stairway, skirts swishing...

Asaki turns suddenly, startled at Clutchfiend's approach.
The teenager immediately begins to react. She pushes wet hair out of her face and glances around in embarrassment. She pulls her sneakers close to her, straightens out a few blades of grass around the area where she is seated, and covers up the item, she almost drowned for, with a few twigs and leaves.
"I was just-uh-uh-standing....around and-um, I thought I-uh..." (She rises and wrings out the sash around her waist, avoiding Clutchfiend's eyes) "...uh-though I...might...(she shrugs and looks to her left) ...go for a swim."
The teenager looks at him and twitches a smile.
"Heh."
She kneels back on the ground and gathers her sneakers.
"So uh...What brings you here? (she pushes more hair from her face) I figured everybody would still be, you know, like eating...or something."
She nods.
*yeah. that sounds good. better than the truth any- sh*t! i forgot, he can read minds!*
The teenager winces, realizing her own mistake.
She continues to fidget around with her sneakers.

If I were a Slayers character, I'd be Gourry Gabriev! Who would you be?

Soul Reaver, relaxing in the bath, is suddenly thrown violently out of his quiet reverie by a gush of icy liquid.

Soul Reaver leaps up onto his feet, one bare foot slipping on the bottom of the bath and almost throwing him over - he only just regains his balance in time. Steaming water splashes out over the side of the bath and onto the ground.

Soul Reaver stands in a battle stance within the bath, his hands balled into fists, his body tense. What is left of the water sloshes around below his knees.

However, upon seeing the two ghostly maids whirling around the room, he relaxes... at least they were not a threat to be feared.

As water runs in rivulets from his long hair and down his muscular body, the two spirits finally settle down. One stands in front of him, grinning, the other holds a towel out in his direction.

His expression unreadable, Soul Reaver looks straight at both of the transgressing spirits. Meanwhile, their eyes wander a bit.

Soul Reaver slowly and precisely reaches for the towel, then very purposely wraps it around his waist. He continues looking at the grinning spirits. Eventually he speaks, in measured tones.

"Thank you. I forgot to lay out a towel of my own."

Gabriel sniffs the air and looks around for the person whom is speaking... when he realises it was the cat he slinks back a bit and tilts his head.

"In all of his years alive... he has never seen or heard a talking cat."

Thisias steps into the room and notices that people are starting to leave...

"Geesh!"

He smiles and picks at some of the leftover food. Tom, who had been following the others, also stands.

"Thisias.... I hate to do this... But my men and I must get back to Cenzar... Or what is left of it..."

A voice breaks the conversation...

"Fei!"

Tukedo strolls into the room.

"If it is alright with Tom here, would it be ok if the Kedo army and I set out to help them rebuild?"

Tukedo kneels.

"Do not mind me. I also feel the urge to serve you!"

He chuckles and then stands.

A legacy of shame... And yet... I will fight...

Des sits quietly beside Xavier, watching the others without touching the food. She looks at the old man and then Tom.

"Uncle, I think you should return to Cenzar with them," she speaks quietly moving her tan, scaled hand over to his. "This Umbra is not healthy for any of us to be in...too much has happened here."

"Zat iz zee truth," Xavier breathes. "I vill not leave without you, zo."

"That is silly. I am fine on my own..."

"Yez, maybe...but it iz only right for you to return. Dezpite your innocence, it iz nezezery to show loyalty to Cenzar now. Zey will need that to pardon you completely of your crimz."

"Perhaps...yet," she frowns. "No matter how much they pardon, I will never forget what I've done...or what I was prepared to do. Cenzar was destroyed because I did not warn them...Jihon died because I did not warn him of what was happening here...things I could have stopped, I didn't."

"Zen do something about it now. It iz not too late."

Des stands abruptly and turns to Tom, fist over her heart.

"General, my Uncle wishes to return to Cenzar with you...as does myself if you will have me..."

Gulver narrowed his eyes at Tam, "You don't actually intend to keep me here for eternity, do you? It would be a unhealthy situation for me....." Gulver, straightening up, sighed, "I suppose that was what I expected from someone once burned by Naraka....."

Tom looks at Des and Xavier.

"Well Des... Your crimes are pardoned from my point of view... As for anything else..."

Tom sighs.

"You'll have to talk to the man here..."

Thisias looks at Des....

"I too witheld information..."

Tom looks at Thisias as the shrowded man speaks through his forked tongue....

"I knew what was going on here as well... I was a contact for Tukedo..."

Thisias frowns and turns away...

"I didn't tell them anything..."

Thisias turns around andf walks towards Des. When he arrives he places a hand on her shoulder and smiles...

"No one is to blame but Naraka and the Bed family... If they would have been more closley allied... We'd have lost for sure! Thank god for their own stupidity..."

The red light beneith the darkness of Thisias' hat closes. It is a sighn that he is winking...

"Jihon has no remorse... If he could have done everything the same... He would..."

Thisias looks around and almost instantly realised the falicy of his statement. Jihon would have died years ago if he could have.

"Well... Maybe not the whole thing..."

Thisias smiles.

"Xavier...."

Thisias takes his hand off of Des' shoulder....

"If you need any help.... The monks at the matri vihar would love to help you... They are always looking for something to do..."

Thisias looks around at the others....

"Who do I talk to about joining this band of fools?"

Thisias smiles and awaits a witty responce....

A legacy of shame... And yet... I will fight...

cLuTcHFieND chuckles as Asaki stammers.

"Well, it's a little cold for a swim, don't you think?"

cLuTcHFieND presses a button on the bracelet around his wrist, and his armour dissapears, replaced by jeans and a t-shirt. He sit's down under another tree close by.

"I haven't been back to the palace yet. I needed.....to collect myself a little. I have lost many allies since this battle began.......this battle and the one before it."

cLuTcHFieND falls silent for a second, but he soon looks back up at Asaki and smiles.

"Maybe you should sit in the sun. You might dry a bit faster that way."

Shenba smiles and stands up. She pushes the dirt off her clothes and looks away. She begins walking and spots Clutchfiend and asaki...She walks up to them and smiles slightly..

" Mind if i join you? "

Shenba leans back on a tree as she looks around in a kind of disgust.

Soul Reaver steps out of the bath, the towel around his waist. He picks up Blooddrinker leaning against the wall beside the door, then opens the door and walks into his chamber. The two spirit girls float through the wall behind him, still grinning.

I don't think they're going to leave me alone...

Soul Reaver sighs, and chants a few words. For a moment his body is wreathed in red energy, at which point he whips off his towel... fortunately, it is replaced by his quilt tunic. It seems to have been completely repaired, pressed, and cleaned.

Soul Reaver smiles slightly as he talks to the somewhat disappointed looking ghosts.

"Sorry for ruining your fun... but I do not think I could have stayed in the bath much longer anyway. As... flattering as your interest is, I do have some other things to attend to."

Asaki rubs the tip of her tail and stares at the ground as Clutchfiend speaks.
Clutchfiend: "I haven't been back to the palace yet. I needed.....to collect myself a little. I have lost many allies since this battle began.......this battle and the one before it."
The teenager's eyes glance to the side.
"I'm sorry."

There is a moment of silence.
Clutchfiend: "Maybe you should sit in the sun. You might dry a bit faster that way."
The teenager lifts her head suddenly, blushing.

She turns at the sound of Shenba approaching, shifting nervously as she comes up.
The teenager rubs her arm and looks away, hoping more people don't show up while she's soaking wet.

Shenba: "Mind if I join you?"
"Um...no. I-I don't mind. Just sit anywhere you like. There's plenty of grass."
She draws her knees up to her chest and drapes her arm over them.

She sniffles, pulls out the item from her pocket and stares at it for a while. Her eyes suddenly contain a hint of sadness as she rests her chin on her arm.
She sighs.

Fei's eyes narrow with Tamrissa's comment. A sickening feeling comes across him. His fists clentched, balled solid, blood dripping from the corners of them. His teeth clentched, Fei closes his eyes, them slowly starting to burn red from within.

The sickening sensation overwhelms him as well as a deep, dense sense of anger and sorrow mixed. Fei opens his eyes again, bloody red tears under them. Whipping his head to face Tamrissa Fei mindspeaks to her harsh and suddenly. "Enough! Just shut up! How can you be so ungrateful! After everything I've done! Even though many of them have been returned, do you not care to show yourself and presume me as nothing?! I've done everything I can for you Tamrissa!!! And to call me Typical!!! What forces you to give me such a title!? Answer me! I've practically worshipped you since our journey's begin! And the first compliment I've ever recieved is from that of a complete stranger! What have I done?! Where have I lost you?! How can you be so stuck up to realize any of this?! I always spoke my mind to you... I've obeyed you. I've protected you as I could. And this is the thanks I get?! To be called "typical male"?! How did I deserve this?! How!!? It eats at me inside!!!..... but since when did you care about my heart?...."

After letting loose all the rage in his heart, Fei falls to his knees and shakes his head for a moment before pulling himself back up and looking at Tamrissa, wiping the blood away from his eyes, his eyes both sincere and true about what he said, but cold in sympathy.

Turning towards Alexial, Fei smiles politely. "It's okay... I like it when people Speak their mind. Please don't let me stop you from speaking your thoughts. Anyways, let us go meet the others... and tell me a little bit about yourself. And maybe you can tell me a little bit more as to... what's on your mind."

Fei finishes speaking with a small smile on his face, his one eye half winked at Alexial, blood smeared on the inside corner of it. Though agonizing inside, Fei still remains very persuasive.

Turning around again, Fei continues to walk towards the palace and listens to Tukedo and the other kedos. "Hmmm... I'll call you the Kedo Konstruction Krew... KKK For short.. Please feel free to service yourself. I'm hoping you can help rebuild the cities." ((J/K you guys

))
