The light over head flickered off and on as Kikira's head lolled around, her half closed tired looking eyes fought to stay open as she looked up at the light, before her head fell back, her eyes now forced to stare at her lap.

The room she sat tied to a chair in was nearly empty…or well, yeah it was empty, just her, the chair and…

Kikira's fox eats tilted back at the sound of someone pushing them self off of the wall.
Not fully in her senses, her fox tail twitched slightly, maybe it was Aerrow…!

She couldn't tell, there was too many senses…of cleaners…and…and of charcoal it smelt like.

No…Aerrow wouldn't tie her to a chair…
Then…who?

Kikira's Fox ears pricked up, her pale gray slitted eyes widened as she realized in horror, just who had captured her.

A mocking laugh sounded from behind her. "Have you realized it yet…?" Dark aces mocking voice…"Kikira!"
Hands grabbed her shoulders and she felt her blood start to rush, matching her racing heart.

Master Cyclonis walked in through the door in front of Kikira, light from the hall flooded quickly into the room, to only be shut back out, returning to the dimmer light in the room.
"You can play with your toy later...Ace, right now I have….Business to tend to with….Miss…Kikira." Master Cyclonis's words came out is smooth low hisses, her eyes never blinking, watching Kikira as if she were a black panther about to make it's kill.

"NO!" Piper shouted, slamming her hands on the kitchen table, Shin'ai's flinch back matched Storks, whom stood next to her.

Piper had been suddenly hostile ever since Kikira had come to be in the small group, perhaps this was a ting of jealousy towards Kikira, and Aerrow had always seemed to favor Kikira since she had come here.

Finn and Junko remained silent, standing off in the opposite corner from Stork and Shin'ai

It was almost as if people were already taking sides, Junko and Finn were behind Aerrow and what he said.

And Stork and Shin'ai were behind Piper in what she said.

Of course no words or real actions were spoken as to who was on who's side.
Stork would always stay behind in missions, and Shin'ai had but just come here, and was just staying close to Stork, never wandering far from his side.

Strangely yet the two seemed close.

"Piper you are not the leader of this team!" Aerrow snapped, though he tried ever so hard to keep his voice calm.
Aerrow laid his hands calmly on the table, across from Piper though he returned her burning gaze.
Wasn't it only because she cared?

"I'm NOT going to let you just GO into the middle of the Cyclonial territory!! It'd be stupid Very, very stupid Aerrow!!" Piper shouted, her eyes now starting to cloud with worry. "We don't even know if they have her there!! For all we know Dark ace could be off---" Piper was cut off by Finn's rather stupid and annoying words.

"Torturing her somewhere in the forest?" Finn implied.

Everyone's gaze turned to look at Finn, most in a glare.

Finn returned glaze, though mostly clueless. "What I say?" Finn asked.

Aerrow's once brave and sure eyes dimmed, turning to confusion and worry, as he turned around his back towards the group and walked out of the room in unbroken silence.

"What I say?!" Finn asked again, more demanding at the time.

Piper sighed, her eyes clouding with hurt and confusion as she sat down, her eyes trailed down to the ground, head tilted to the side.

Lost on what she would do, she loved Aerrow, there was no feeling in her heart or thought in her mind, that said she didn't.

Just…if only he'd love her back, if only Kikira hadn't come…If only…If only…If only…If only she hadn't fallen in love by herself..

If only Aerrow was smart enough to seem how much she cared.

The others in the room remained silent, they all knew how much she loved

Aerrow…Even Storks long-time friend, whom had but recently met the group, could see that.

((Bwa' . hehehehehe sorry!! I haven't been updating lately, school hates me, and as a friend of mine once said. "Have a cup of coffee" XDD))
