[b][i]BOOK ONE: WATER[/i][/b][hr][@Polaris North][@FantasyChic][@Morose][@Nallore][hr][hr][/center][center][h1][color=10DC67]Hikaru[/color] and [color=9C3E28]Ryuu[/color][/h1][/center][hr][hr]

	Ryuu was a bit surprised by Jia Li's sudden kiss, it certainly was not what he had expect. However, he just went along with it, figuring that it was better to try and be as convincing of a couple as possible. Though truth be told he found this insanely weird, he had just met this girl not too long ago, and now in order to basically keep up an act of sorts, he was kissing her. This was definitely one of the strangest things that he has ever done in his life, and that was definitely saying something.

	Hikaru was a bit grossed out by the random kissing that had started and was going on, and made a bit of a face at Jia Li and Ryuu. Why did people have to do that in public or whatever? Sure, she was fairly certain it was all part of the ruse, but still... It didn't stop it from being weird or any less disgusting. She hoped at least that the guy bought the whole situation or whatever, though she wasn't sure how he'd react to Yumiko.

	The guard rolled his eyes slightly at the pair who were currently kissing, not too sure how exactly that sort of thing was necessary at that moment, but he wasn't too disgusted or annoyed by it. However, he looked directly at Yumiko, giving her a bit of a smile, "Well, I just might take you up on that offer, should we ever cross paths again... And don't you worry, we'll find the escaped prisoners. Until next we meet," he said, nodding his head slightly before he left with the rest of the guards leaving the group alone.

	[color=10DC67]"You two can stop kissing now you know... It is a bit gross if you ask me..."[/color] Hikaru said with an eye roll, and Ryuu pulled away from Jia Li, making sure to put at least a few steps between them.

	[color=9C3E28]"I fully expected us to have to fight our way out of that situation... We lucked out that those guards were a bunch of idiots who had no idea what was going on, not, let's get out of here quickly before they change their mind and potentially come back."[/color]
