A quiet morning. That's just what they needed. Everyone was still in their rooms, but nobody was rushing.

"Ah!" Came Bankotsu's shout. Abi, Yura, and Jakotsu all stood in their own doorways as Hiten ran this time from the mercenary who was armed with his Banryu.

"Payback's a bitch!" Hiten laughed as he slid and turned down a corner. Bankotsu was going to fast to turn so he crashed straight into the wall. Once he regained his footing, he was back to chasing. "It was just a harmless prank." He taunted.

"Bankotsu, what are you doing with that thing?" Abi ran after him, being followed by the others. He took one swing and Hiten jumped out of the way just in time. The whole front wall blew up. Abi squinted her eyes and walked to the giant hole. Yura and Jakotsu were at her side. They watched as Hiten ran to the field outside and Bankotsu followed him; taking swings at the Thunder Brother's head.

"Missed me!" He taunted as he flew up.

"Get your ass down here!" He swung another wave of heat at him. Hiten used his lightening to block it.

"You suck!"

"I am fucking warning you!"

"I am fucking warning you." Hiten repeated in a mocking tone.

"I said get down!"

"And I said no!"

"What the hell?" Abi shouted. They both looked at her. "You blew up the whole fucking wall! This is supposed to be our cover, not a place to draw attention to ourselves!" She pointed to the wall. Yura and Jakotsu shrunk back a little.

"He started it!" They both pointed at each other and she growled.

"Get inside!"

"But…" Bankotsu started.

"I said get inside." She repeated in a dangerously low voice through her teeth. Bankostu and Hiten glared at each other before obeying. "Now, Bankotsu, you first. What happened?"

"I opened my eyes this morning and who do I see shooting a ball of lightening at me?" He crossed her arms.

"Kiss ass…" Hiten mumbled.

"Hiten…did you shoot a lightening ball at Bankotsu?" Abi asked in a bored tone.

"Maybe"

"Hiten!"

"Yeah! He dumped fucking water on me!"

"Water is harmless!" Bankotsu faced him.

"So harmless I was gagging for air."

"You could've blown my head off!"

"Damn, it's too bad I missed, isn't it?" Hiten snapped his fingers. Bankostu lunged at him and began taking swings for Hiten's face. They rolled on the ground taking punch for punch. Abi and Yura began pulling Bankotsu off Hiten.

"Aren't you going to help?" Yura asked Jakotsu.

"Nope. I like where this is going." He smirked and observed them. Abi rolled her eyes. Bankostu pulled back an elbow and accidentally hit the princess's torso.

"Ah!" She stopped trying to pull him off and fell on her own knees. Bankotsu stopped strangling Hiten and looked over his shoulder.

"You hurt her!" Lightening formed in the sky and Hiten's eyes showed rage. He forcefully pushed the mercenary off him and helped her to her feet.

"It's not like I did it on purpose." Bankotsu stood up.

"Just. Shut. Up." Hiten glared. For once, his eyes instilled fear in Bankotsu and felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Forget me, I'm fine." She held his shoulder until regaining her balance. "But now it's only so long before they find us. We need new shelter."

"Where?" Yura asked.

"I don't know."

"Can you fly?" Jakotsu asked in monotone.

"Huh?"

"Can you fly?"

"Probably not." She frowned as she looked at her stomach.

"Alright, Bankotsu since you're the one that blew up the wall and hurt her, its only fair that you need to carry her." Jakotsu reasoned.

"What?" He heard Hiten snarl and smirked. "Unless Hiten wants to?"

"I'm all set." He flew outside.

"Suit yourself." He shrugged and scooped her in his arms.

They walked in complete silence, aside from a few whispers between Abi and Bankotsu, causing the mercenary to look up at Hiten who had his arms crossed but peeked and eye every so often. Yura was talking to Jakotsu about his hair, occasionally touching it to show him a new style, but he wasn't having it.

"There's a castle!" Hiten pointed.

"Is it occupied?" Bankotsu asked.

"From the looks of it." He went to the ground.

"I call it!"

"Nah, you stay here with Abi." He smirked. "Yura and I will take care of it." He saw Bankotsu's eyes get wide and his face got smug.

"Why Yura?"

"I don't like Jakotsu." He said proudly.

"Then Jakotsu can stay with Abi."

"I think we both know they aren't fond of each other. It will be safer this way." He patted his shoulder. "Come on Yura."

""I can't get there as fast as you!" She put her hands on her hips. He rolled his eyes.

"Then go on my back."

"What?" Bankotsu blurted.

"We'll come back for you when we're done." He flew off and laughed about something with Yura.

"Wow…he just got you so good." Jakotsu smirked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Bankotsu's face reddened and he continued walking.

"Oh, but you do."

After watching lightening in the distance, Bankotsu and the others waited. They came.

"It's clear."

"You didn't blow this place up too, did you?" Jakotsu rolled his eyes.

"No, stupid, now let's go." He dropped Yura to her feet and went ahead of them.

"Wow…this place I nicer than the last one." Jakotsu smiled as he admired the giant place.

"Yeah, no blowing this one up." Abi pointed her finger as the group walked together.

"I call the master bedroom!" Bankotsu ran ahead of them.

"No you don't!" Hiten ran to catchup.

"They're a lot like brothers." Abi smiled.

"Yeah aside from the fact that they actually would kill each other." Jakotsu snickered.

"Found it!" Hiten stood in the doorway.

"Move!" Bankotsu shoved him aside and ran in the room. "Hey…this has to be the smallest room…" He looked over his shoulder and Hiten was gone. "You little bastard!" He ran out the door and chased him. They soon found the room and bother glared at each other. "I got a question for you, if you answer honestly, you get the room." Bankostu smirked as they circled each other.

"You got the biggest room at the last place."

"Yeah, Abi was quite the roommate." He smirked and heard a growl escape Hiten's lips. "Alright, here's my question. Why did you take Yura?"

"Because she's strong."

"Jakotsu and I are stronger than her. Hell, Abi's probably stronger than her even as she's wounded. It didn't have anything to do with Abi now…did it?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Well, I think Hiten got jealous seeing me with his girlfriend so he tried to make me feel the same way."

"Why are you talking in third person?"

"Just answer my question, were you jealous?"

"I don't get jealous…especially over her."

"Yeah right, I saw your face after I hurt her by accident before. Hiten likes Abi!" He taunted in a singing voice.

"No I don't!" He shouted.

"And he gets jealous!" He ignored it.

"I'm warning you, Bankotsu." He clenched his fists at his sides.

"Do you lo-o-ove her?" He taunted.

"No!"

"Oh yeah? How would you feel if I told you what happened in that room that night." Hiten's face got red, he didn't know if it was out of embarrassment of anger, but it didn't matter at the moment. He ran at Bankotsu and swung a fist at his head. He just ducked and laughed. "We were all alone." His smirk widened. Hiten pinned him to the wall by the neck. "I'm sorry; do you not like this story?" He snickered. "Why not? Is this a touchy subject?"

"Here you are." Yura walked in and Hiten dropped Bankotsu to his feet.

"Know what? Have the room; I've already had my moment." He walked out.

"Are you ok?" Yura asked. He nodded.

"Well, Jakotsu is across from you, Abi is on the left, I'm across from her…and I'm not sure where Bankotsu is sleeping." She brought her index finger to her chin.

"Its fine…night." He sat down and held his head. He took in a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Night." She slid his door shut behind her and the room got dark.

Abi liked this place much better. The rooms were larger and there was more space. That would be great, now everybody didn't need to be so close to each other. Hopefully that meant less fights. She had the strength to do her own bandaging now so she did and then slipped back on her top. Her door quickly slid open and shut.

"Who's there?" She lit the candle on the side of her bed and the figure walked closer. "Hiten, you scared me." She put her hand over her heart and took in a deep breath. "What's on your mind?" She sat up and faced him as he sat on the side of her bed.

"I have a question."

"Um…a question in the middle of the night isn't awkward…ask." She smiled. He stared at her for a minute. "Well?"

"I don't know how to put it." He frowned.

"Well, just ask. I won't judge or get mad." He sighed.

"Ok…well…" He scratched the back of his neck, why was this so hard?

"Mhm?"

"That night you shared a room with Bankotsu…" He started.

"Yes, what about it?" She started to get a little impatient, but hid it. She could tell this was important to him.

"Did anything…happen between you guys?" He looked to his lap and frowned as he waited for an answer. She smirked but he didn't see it.

"Why?"

"It's just a question! A simple yes or no would do just fine!" He stood up and shouted. She laughed a little.

"Sit down, Hiten, I was just joking. No, nothing happened." He nodded and sat back down. "Why?"

"No reason." He blushed and looked away.

"You can tell me." She put a hand on his shoulder and he shook it off. "Did Hiten get jealous and need to know?" She taunted. He stood up.

"I don't get jealous. Now everyone needs to get that through there thick skulls! I don't get jealous, stop talking in third person, and what makes you think you're something to get jealous over?" He shouted and waited for her to yell or mock him. When she didn't he looked at her. Her eyes revealed hurt. He opened his mouth to say something but quickly shut it. He walked out of the room and walked down the dark hallway. He saw Bankostu and Yura asleep, his arms wrapped around her, and then Jakotsu had his door shut…which was kind of a good thing. He lay on his bed and sighed. Since when did he start caring? When did he ever get…jealous? He pushed the thought aside and closed his eyes.
