As Eos and Zane arrived at the Crimson Sky, on their new base, which was Hernia's mansion, the android let go of Zane and looked around the dark room with a blank expression, before saying [color=blue]"Would you like anything of me, Zane-sama? I'm ready to serve you in whatever way that you wish."[/color] in a voice completely devoid of emotions.

She lowered her gaze when she noticed that something had tugged to her legs, and saw that it was Rikka, though she didn't knew what the ghost girl was doing here [color=blue]"Rikka-chan? What are you doing here?"[/color] She asked as she knelt down to look the girl in her eyes. [color=blue]"It doesn't mind, however. I will still take care of you and now you have Zane-sama too. Aren't you happy we're a family now?"[/color] Despite Eos comforting words, her gaze still remained her cold and as a stone slab, but it didn't seemed to bother Rikka, who clung of Eos's like she was her mother, or something like this, but faced Zane with wariness.

Meanwhile...

As Shiina landed next to Yamato and Orihime, the two beastmasters had just finished their fight and were still clinging one to the other, but suddenly Orihime pushed Yamato to the side while shouting [color=hotpink]"Yamato!"[/color] The next thing that he would notice would be a curtain of red, hot and ferrous liquid clouding his vision and the wet plop that followed soon after, as Orihime's body dropped into a pool of her own blood.

Her heart was nowhere to be seen, in its place just a gapping hole, created by the vengeful strike launch at her by a shadowy attacker that lurked on YTC's building. The light of life left her eyes fast, and there was nothing that could be made to avoid her tragic death, moments after finding redemption through the power of love.

[color=hotpink]"I'm sorry, Yamato, it seems I won't be able to become yours on this life..."[/color] With these words strength left Orihime's body and she expired her last breath.

[color=crimson]"Damn, I'm late again. It's your fault, Mizura!"[/color] a voice known to the Chasers, still standing there said as its owner came out of the shadows with Mizura on her trail [color=crimson]"If you want her to live, Yamato, you have to act fast."[/color] Chikage said as hurried to teleport them to her shop.

[color=hotpink]"The Marioneteers had a secret technique, that could be used in cases like this, there's a price for it, though and you alone must decide on paying it or not."[/color] Chikage placed a small doll that looked to be older than anything Yamato had ever seen in front of him [color=crimson]"The only way to save her life is by transferring her soul to this doll, via a kiss from the one she loved the most. Don't worry, once she wakes up, the doll will change to a more appropriate form, though you have to decide fast."[/color]

[color=crimson]"While you do that, I'll go fetch the others. There's been enough damage for a single night, and if this continue I won't be able to overlook your actions as a group any longer."[/color] As Chikage said, she left the present Chasers waiting and teleported next to Ikkime, Eiko and Lucille [color=crimson]"Come with me, the others are waiting at my shop. I won't accept a no as answer, by the way."[/color] she then teleported them back to her shop and set a backroom were the Chasers could rest and heal their bodies for the night.

Before leaving them, she said [color=crimson]"You can rest here until tomorrow, but then you'll have to leave. I already broke my code far too many times on this case, but I'm turning a blind eye to you just because the aggression from your enemies was unwarranted."[/color] And lastly, specifically to Shiina [color=crimson]"I suggest you leave the city for sometime, and heal yourself before thinking of fighting again. I heard that Okinawa is great this time of the year. Why not take a trip to the beach? Knowing you, you may even set a new shop there. Just be sure to save me a treat if you do, ok?"[/color]

After that Chikage went away Leaving both the Chasers and Mizura behind.
