Shu raised a good point, forcing Takeshi to rethink again. Folding his arms across his chest as they walked he chewed on his lower lip, tossing ideas back and forth in his mind. "If Yumi can point us in the right direction then I don't see why we wouldn't be able to go ourselves. Just remember though if you go with me there's a good chance you're going into the city alone. Unless the guards have a stroke of generosity I doubt they'll let me in." An unfortunate side effect of cooperating with the General, who at the moment wasn't looking to be in the best of light. If his brother couldn't sway opinion in his favor then he'd have to wait outside, which really wasn't that big of a deal. "We'll ask Yumi for directions there, then go ahead and head out to... Wherever it is." Takeshi figured that the others were probably still wandering around the city, so they had some time until they all met up and went over what they had learned. "By the way... Where did you leave the staff? I'm thinking you should bring it with you. If anyone does catch wind of us we'll need a way to fend off everyone without hitting them too hard, and that staff would do the trick." "I know how you are with open affection though, you don't always like it. So I'm sorry for trying to force it on you." Viral had a history of shirking away from hugs and the likes, even when they were kids he sometimes backed off from them, though in a far more gentle manner. Yumi understood she had been a bit presumptuous in her actions, thinking that just because she wanted him to be cheerful he would be. Back inside the house she turned about to look back at her friend, smiling kindly and folding her hands behind her back. "It's okay, really. Neither of us should be apologizing, it was just a little miscommunication. And they can play with eachother, like I said I want to have fun with you. Or just spend time with you. We haven't gotten to do that in a while." With no enemies knocking on the front door at the moment they finally had a moment to enjoy themselves a bit. Even if Viral just wanted to sit down she would be content with that. Yumi stood to the side of the entryway while waiting for an answer, not moving so much as an inch... Besides her nose twitching. A familiar scent caught her attention, two in fact, and one that she was not overly thrilled to detect. "I don't know where else we can look, we've looked everywhere." a voice came from outside, Kabocha's by the sound of it. He was the first to the door, grabbing the handle and tugging the door open. "What do we tell them when we meet up? That we came up empty handed?" "No, we lie and say we found the one we want," Vegeta replied sarcastically, rolling his eyes as he walked in as well. Needless to say their efforts had gone unrewarded. Sighing to himself he shut the door, a bit surprised to see both Yumi and Viral standing at the other end of the room. "Hey you two, we weren't interrupting were we?" Yumi, not overly thrilled to see one of the Saiyans, managed a small smile for Vegeta's sake. "Nope, we were just coming in to take a break. I hear the search didn't go too well? How come you're back so soon?" "Kabocha decided to be not so discreet and attract attention to us. So rather than get half the city hunting for his head we came back here. I don't imagine anyone's going to talk to us about anything now." Vegeta shot the other boy an accusatory glance as he sat on the couch, sighing and running a hand through his hair. "Any word from the others yet?" "No, you're the first ones to get back." Yumi replied, watching Kabocha take the arm chair and settle himself in. It was painful to have him here like this, but they had little choice in the manner. "Everyone should be back pretty soon, which is good. We've got to find out what we're doing for dinner."
