The Midnight Train to Nowhere

I was going to say that Ace took it, but I didn't want to godmod or anything.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Everyone gave their opinion, but no definite answer or plan had been set. Or had it, and she just missed it? The sudden flash and attack fromJasper made her cheer. "Alright Jasper! Good job! Didn't know you could do that but awesome!" Ace's eyes turned to see Inadi climbing up the path and she watched in curiosity to see what the already injured male planned to do. But soon enough, people were yelling coherently instead of screaming and Ace looked at them. First Harper, and then the prince. "Well, Inadi seems to be doing a good job at the climbing part. As for the amulet-"

Something thwacked her in the head and slipped, falling to her hands. "Ow...?" Then she realized what it was exactly. 'The amulet! Oh boy this is going to be fun. Dragon taming time!' Ace was giddy with excitement, almost as if she had stocked up on desserts, like when Queeny had the pastry party. 'Mmm, cakes sound good right now. Or those little pies, and doughnuts and- oh right, focus.'

"No matter what, hold onto that amulet."

Ace grinned wider and stuck her tongue at him. "No kidding! I wouldn't let go of this even if it killed me! This is the opportunity of a life time and I'm not missing my chance! This is staying in my sight!" So, maybe she was a little too excited to go dragon taming. But that was Ace for you. The group climbed and Harper took charge. As usual, the male lost his timid nature in times of seriousness. It was an interesting thing to see, with experience he seemed to be getting a lot braver. She decided to speak up after him. "Well, me and Riley are out when it comes to magic. Blue flames are waaay hotter than ours, trust me, I know.  We'd only add to the heat too and if rather not be cooked alive, this outfit is getting hot as it is." She looked over at Riley as the flames formed and laughed. "As much as I want to, it'd be no use. Even I know that! Besides," Ace gave a smirk and looked at the amulet wrapped tight around her arm like a bracelet, the actual jewel in her hand. "I've got a more important job to do~ Since I have the amulet, I can be the one you lift up there. Shouldn't be so complicated?" She turned to Harper, Leon, and Hakuren since they were the ones planning on using their magic.

Just as she spoke, more chaos ensued and two more dragons appeared. She looked over at the edge of where she stood, careful not to fall over from the various forces and watched how close they were. 'That would be a risky jump. Meh. I could probably make it if I time it right. And wait till the dragon isn't looking in this-' "Hey!" She turned quickly feeling someone grab the amulet,  it was on instinct that she held tighter, but seeing that it was Lesley... she let it go. Normally, she would have been a little upset to give up her chances so easily, but. . . Her curiosity to see Lesley in action seemed to overpower that- if not for a split second. She knew that flower power wouldn't work, so what could that...person possibly do. "By the way... I guess I should ask..." With a tilt of her head she watched Lesley crawl toward the dragon, speaking aloud to whoever was paying attention. "Is Lesley a guy? Or... a chick?" It was one of those unanswered questions that she needed to know before she went back home- if she went back home. And something completely off topic from the situation.

Seeing him get so close to the dragon, and nearly being knocked off, Ace jumped down to help, with or without the knowledge of her question. "Hold on, I'll help!" She called out, still a little ways above the two after she had climbed far enough. The dragon was still too busy thrashing to notice Ace above its head. So, with a small smile, she jumped, landing right onto its back. Minus the slight slip, and having to catch a scale or whatever was on this dragon, she landed. "Whoo! Made it. That was a pretty crazy jump. I should try that again! Oh right, focus." The dragon now had two humans to thrash off, but Ace held on as tight as possible. "Oi! Lesley! Give me one end of the necklace, and I'll hook it to the otherside!" She reached out, waiting for Lesley to pass it to her. "Stay still for one second crazy dragon! We aren't trying to hurt you!"

Enasi got a little defensive when Kaila tried to see Inui, but he sighed, having to remember that Inui was not his anymore. Crios noticed and quietly patted the guardian's shoulder gently. Both of them turn their attention to the healing process. Out of natural instinct, he motioned for the siblings to stand by his side, which they happily complied to. They didn't want to be the ones to get lashed out at. Rasha and Inui in the other hand stayed in place with awed expressions. 'Such nobility. . . He reminds me of Harper.' Everyone seemed to watch the display with curious looks. It was a little heartwarming to know that Kaila was willing to give up his life for the guardian. But he was just sappy, so of course that would be touching.

Inui gave a polite nod when the softness in Kaila's eyes appeared. Once it was over, Crios questioned Kaila and Enasi was once again by Seishu's side. Even as Kaila explained to Crios what he had done, he couldn't help but notice the sudden closeness of the two guardians. The sight of them together was still. . . Odd. Crios too looked at the guardians, watching as Enasi led Seishu off to a source of negative energy. "What shall we do sir?"

Enasi looked at the siblings and spoke. "You two scope out the area or watch the area while we're gone. We shall be back. I'm going to stick Seishu in someone's dream." He laughed lightly and then to looked back at Crios. "If you still want me to show you how the dreams work, you should follow." With that, Enasi helped Seishu along. This time the house with the negative energy source wasn't too far away. A smile fell on his lips as Seishu spoke. "As odd as it may be, it's rather cute. And I'm sure that this will change a lot with our realms." It didn't sound like he had any regrets about it, or any ill thoughts. It wad actually rather interesting to think that the realms would- or could be together. Feeling the shift, Enasi holds him a little firmer as they made their way inside. Rasha sick close to his look a like considering the guardian was once again taken by Enasi.

Finn and Starla both nodded, going to patrol the house. Inui hurried alonģ to return to Seishu's side and gave a small smile to Enasi. It was returned and the dream guardian led him up to a room where a sleeping body lied. "You go on Seishu, I want to take Crios."  He let go of Seishu, only to take hold of Crios' hands and walkn to fine another room.

"Oh that's nice. The- the doctor thing not the heaven thing." He quickly corrected himself before looking out the window to see nothing but grass and trees farther off his property. Aoba got comfortable, letting his wings spread a little as Kuro decided to explain himself. And only a few moments later, Aoba adopted an expression of shock and disbelief. Demons were going to be after him? "But why?" He didn't realize he had asked out loud as he sat up, once again his wings closing behind him. "In heaven I was just a lower level angel. There's nothing special about that. . ." He tried to downplay himself, not needing random demons to get the wrong idea that he was important. "I was barely a medic angel. . ." He mumbled more to himself, but turned to look out the window once more.

He didn't protest about Kuro helping him anymore, but he did feel like a caged animal. 'Safe zones? Is there really any place he could be safe?' That, on top of worrying about farming? Even if he said not to worry about the demons, Aoba was naturally going to fear for his life. "Weakest son. . . How many siblings do you have? " He had wondered what it would be like to have actual siblings, but Kuro's stories deterred him from it. Aoba noticed his fangs and claws growing, and scooted away ever so slightly. But he seemed to regain himself soon after. He wasn't sure how to feel about being 'owned' or being trapped in the house. But, he wanted to live so he had to deal with it- for the time being.

He was going to say something else, but with a growl, Kuro was out the house leaving Aoba alone. He curled up on the couch, staring at the blank box for a few moments. He realized the door was still open so he peeked to see if he could spot Kuro. Without a doubt, he could see the demon, but he stayed low as three more appeared out of nowhere. "That's too many. . . Don't get yourself hurt." Of course Aoba would naturally- but it wasn't just for his sake. He still thought highly of Kuro, even if he didn't want to admit.

"Hey, he's coming over."

"Tch, he's not going to do anything. I bet I could take him."

"Yeah, sure."

As Kuro got closer, the three stepped back and away from the line. The tough guy stood a bit taller and growled, threatening to cross the line. "I'm sure he's all bark and no bite. After all, he hasn't killed the angel. So? What is it? You're keeping it as a pet?"

"Hehe, I heard it was a cutie! I want to judge that myself. So why not just let us take a quick... hehe bite." The demon grinned deviously, showing off his fangs. The third notice the door opened and narrowed his eyes, staring into the house. The shift of movement made him smirk as he spotted the angel hiding. "I just want a closer look."

The demon who had started it growled again, as if telling Kuro to step aside.

Aoba's eyes widened when he spotted two narrowed gold ones staring at him. He immediately cowered lower into the seat to hide hide himself. Who knew what those demons would do to him. . .

The dream guardian's eyes narrowed a little as he sent Rasha off to go Nightmare hunting. He was up to something, he was always up to something. But what was it this time. Somehow, Crios managed to panic before he did. Enasi crossed his arms, waiting Seishu's explanation. And with the one word, the guardian sighed in relief. He turned to Crios who was still disapproving of the mission Rasha was put on. He couldn't blame him though considering Crios didn't do this often. "Relax Crios. It's fine." Finn and Crios gave looks of disbelief and Starla smirked, mumbling under her breath only for her brother to hear.

"Looks like Lord Enasi realized he needed to go." Finn cracked a small smile, but continued focusing on the guardian.

"Don't worrry you guys. Seishu isn't trying to kill him." Crios sighed and nodded. Enasi turned his attention to Seishu as his 'name' was called. "Let's go then." Enasi led him off towards a house, but he paused sensing Rasha and who he assumed was Kaila, approach fast. The siblings tensed until Enasi raised his hand to calm them. They did as they were told and stood off to the side. Crios stood behind Enasi, watching with a new sense of curiosity.

Skillfully, Rasha jumped down from a building flipping and landing in his human form. He had a wide grin on his face and only moments later Kaila appears next to him. Kaila paused, staring at Seishu with a growing happiness. He started to bow, but was interrupted by a sudden grasp of his hand. "Lord Seishu! Oh my goodness,  he's perfect!" This made Finn amd Starla look at each other in confusion. One gagged while the other gave a sheepish look and didn't know whether to laugh or feel anymore awkward around Rasha.

Enasi on the other hand giggled lightly towards Rasha's sudden excitement and Kaila's expression. He seemed torn between agreeing in delight that someone loved Lord Seishu just as he did, and then confused because Rasha was definitely a dream guardian. Inui blinked amd quietly scooted behind Seishu, staring at the near exact replica of the nightmare guardian. It was quite. . . Odd. Not just to him, but to all the minions.

"I'm sure you need a moment to catch up. So, I'll wait. If you don't mind, can you heal him up a bit?" Enasi stepped off to the side with Crios and watched the two.

"That's kind of sad. You should have some friends. But, I don't really know much about you and demons." He tensed immediately as Kuro moved his wings and examined the wound. "And what kind of things do you love to do?" He looked over at him, but tensed again as Kuro held him place. How did he know he was going to run? 'This will hurt, but. . . It couldn't possibly be that bad right?' Well, he was wrong. As Kuro worked, using his magic, Aoba bit down hard on his lip and refrained from yelling out. A few tears escaped, but he didn't bother wiping them away. Aoba clutched his pants legs as the pain raced up his body.

When he finished, Aoba released a breath he didn't realize he was holding. For a moment, he wasn't paying attention to Kuro's explanation, wiping the few tears that escaped. Realizing he was explaining why he had his feather, Aoba listened, only remembering why he was giving Kuro the silent treatment in the first place. He let out another sigh, not bothering to move his hand from around his waist. His eyes widened a little in surprise as Kuro admitted his feelings- but then he remembered what Kuro said about not having a heart. Which meant there was only surface meaning to his words. The angel continued to stay silent while Kuro leaned against him. He couldn't help the soft shiver that ran down his spine when Kuro sighed.

His wings moved to adjust when Kuro moved and he stretched his back and wings out. There was no more pain. "For a demon with a lack of medical skills, you did a nice job." He stood slowly and rubbed his arms again. "Thank you." Aoba was still upset with Kuro, but he couldn't a grudge for that long. His silent treatment wasn't going to work for too long anyway. Aoba returns to his position on the couch, pulling up his legs and occasionally glancing over at Kuro.

"He's harboring a little angel in there."

"Yeah, he hasn't killed it yet. But he won't give it up."

"What a waste..."

"Heh, just wait till the little thing gets too close."

A few demons, three to be exact, had gathered near the border, getting dangerously close. None of them crossed, but they stayed low to the ground examining the area. The new angel was easy to spot out, but getting to him seemed to be a bit of a problem.

Why do I feel like it it's not the worst of him. He did have the no kill restriction. Imagine when he is forced to kill people because of reasons further into the story.

Enasi gave a soft sigh in relief when Seishu declared that Inui wouldn't get hurt. Inui was still one of his 'precious babies', but even be knew that wouldn't be too long. Going to the human realm, Inui would have to stay with or around Seishu in order for him to get the feel of the 'nightmare way'. It was one of those depressing thoughts he pushed away fir the time being. There were other things that he had to worry about. Like Seishu asking for help through the portal. "Excuse me dear." He squeezed between Rasha to hold onto Seishu, careful not to mess with any of his injuries. "Let's go."

Rasha pouted and crossed his arms as he was moved to the side, but he stayed silent. It wasn't like he could tell his guardian to step aside to let him help. That would have been out of line, even for him. So Rasha moved a little ways ahead, keeping weary of Starla as she went through the portal. He followed in pursuit and before Enasi could walk with Seishu, Harper saluted. "I'll keep everything at bay here." Enasi smiled and nodded, then helped Seishu through the portal as fast as he could. "Don't go getting yourself hurt doctor."

Crios rolled his eyes and smirked. "Don't think I'm just a doctor. I've learned a bit in my time." And with that, he was the last one to step into the portal. Harper watched them all go, and once he was sure they were through, he went to go check on Rue.

It was a pretty and quiet night. Unlike the last trip, he could see the starry night sky and it was much more serene. "Oh, pretty." Enasi looked up and smiled. He sensed the few nightmare minions around, but they weren't too close by. "Alrighty. Do you want me to lead the way or can you manage?" He loosened his hold on Seishu but stayed by his side. Crios had paused, looking around at the sights. It had been awhile since he had been in the human realm. Being a doctor, and head of the medical staff, he was normally at home. "If you'd like Crios, I could show you into the dreams." Enasi noticed Crios' wandering eyes and laughed softly.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Question!
