[h2][color=#ff0000]Jibanyan[/color] – On the Lookout[/h2]

Putting aside the loud scream Jibanyan let loose as he soared through the canopy on Fuma's shoulder, the cat surprisingly managed to keep some of his composure intact as the redhead came to a stop. In front of him, he could see an injured Youkai and Fuma promptly wasted no time in tending to her injuries. Jibanyan knew there was nothing he could do about the trap or the injured Youkai, so he did as he was told and kept his ears up, staying as close to the Jiangshi as possible. At the very least, he hoped that the presence of another friendly Youkai could prevent her from lashing at him and Fuma.

Being a cat, Jibanyan was gifted with superior senses in line with his feline ability and one of those senses was his hearing. The Youkai listened intently for the slightest rustle of grass, hoping that he and Fuma wouldn't be ambushed in the open plains. So far, it would seem that Kled and Skaarl hadn't caught up with them yet, but it would only be a matter of time until they got here, so the cat Youkai couldn't help but feel anxious. Glancing behind his shoulder, he flinched and quickly turned away from Fuma as he caught sight of the eyes of his armor moving around, a sure sign that Fuma was absolutely on high alert. [color=#ff0000]"That armor always scares me, nyan,"[/color] he muttered to himself, sounding more crept out than outright frightened.

True to his fears, it was only a matter of time before Kled and Skaarl finally gave chase and Jibanyan could hear the lizard dashing on its two feet. However, it wasn't the fact that they were giving chase that caught Jibanyan by surprise. [color=#ff0000]"They're way too fast, nyan!"[/color] he exclaimed in a fit of panic, realizing that the sounds of Skaarl's steps were coming towards their direction faster than he had anticipated. Turning to Fuma, he wasted no time panicking. [color=#ff0000]"Fuma-san, they're coming, nyan!"[/color] the jittery Youkai alerted the warrior.

[h2][color=#ff3333]Jinx[/color] – Going After the Sheriff[/h2]

As she raced down the street with Kuro on her shoulder, Jinx couldn’t help but mutter a baffled [color=#ff3333]"Huh?"[/color] after Sans made it clear that he was completely out of his skeletal mind. Shiro chirped and chattered, sharing her sentiments with the redhead. It seemed that she wasn’t alone in thinking that something must had happened to Sans’ sense of perception, along with his already considerable ego.

[color=#ff3333]"Agreed. The sooner we knock some sense into him, the better, hopefully before he kills anyone with his food or his toys,"[/color] Jinx remarked, eyes focused on the skeleton. By tapping into her Star Guardian power, she managed to keep apace with the runaway Sheriff for now, but she was on her feet while Sans was on his Gaster Blasters. In times like this, she wished that she still had her power of flight; she could have easily kept up with him had that been the case.

It was then that she passed three familiar figures. Though she wasn’t too close to them, she was in good terms with at least two of them while the third one made good target practice from time to time. 

[color=#ff3333]"Hi, Miss Goomy! Hi, Gutsy! Hi, Mr. L-ame!"[/color] Jinx greeted in quick succession as she ran past, Shiro waving at them as she flew past before turning back to following Jinx head-on into the forest. It wouldn’t be the redhead’s first visit into the mysterious forest anyway and, should they encounter the cantankerous Kled and scaredy Skaarl, they were prepared for mayhem.

Glancing back, Shiro then noticed a purple figure going in their general direction and wondered who it could be, but she didn’t exactly had the time to ponder. For now, her focus should be on keeping an eye on Jinx and Kuro and so she turned her sights on the path ahead.
