Ranmyaku was busy trying to find something new to put on, something actually comfortable to wear to defeat Zanna once and for all in. No matter what happened with Bo, no matter what she had to do to finally understand what had happened to the kind-hearted Koumori whom had helped them so shamelessly until they got to the lair of his master, no matter what happened, this would be the end. It had to be the end. All this fighting, all her friends were tired. Wrist deep in clothes, she pulled out the outfit that she had been wearing when she came here in the beginning. With a soft sigh, she put them on. Might as well go back the same way she had come.

"Ranmyaku!" Her human partner Asuru called to her. Brushing her fingers hastily through her long blue hair, she made her way down to see whay Asuru had wanted. Ai and Honzou were standing there, all smiles. At first Ranmyaku and Asuru were confused about their reasons for being there, but after a little explaining they said that they had decided to come along too. They also said that they had yet to fully get revenge on Zanna for making a fool of them all that time ago. "Are you sure about this Ai?" Asuru asked, watching her. He'd never admit this, but for all her womanly strength, Ai with her glasses and baggy sweater, along with leggings under a frillish skirt, she looked unfit to be in any sort of battle.

She shook her head. "I'm anything but sure. But since our only use is to heal, we're the only ones with a healing spell. So we'll heal until we're all out of energy."

Honzou only grinned and nodded. He wanted to be helpful, even though he didn't want to become the king. The plant demon didn't have what it took to be a ruler. The only thing he could do was support. He only followed, he didn't know what it was like to be in front for once. In fact, he didn't want his first experience leading others to be as a king. He would most likely just grind the kingdom into the ground with his heel.

The loud sound of a honking horn is what alerted them to the fact that Quinton and Tsuine were here. the four of them walked out into the yard, surprised that Quinton had a minivan instead of his normal car. When questioned about his choice, he'd said, with an air of nonchalance, that his normal car was currently in the shop for a well-needed tune up, and that this was a rental. "Tsuine had also told me to get a bigger car. He was saying that Rammy-chan would wind up invite random riff-raff off the street to help in our efforts.

"You're welcome." He stated coldly from his position in the passanger seat.

"'Random Riff-Raff', huh hothead?" The female ice demon looked clearly peeved at his statement about random riff-raff.

"Of course. I mean, the only people you've gathered into this little brigade of yours that actually helped us in some way was the boy with the blind rich human girl."

Honzou was moderately insulted that the male had completely forgotten about him, or had skipped over him on purpose because he had never done anything helpful. You know, besides healing everyone in their team at some point.

Riding to the airport, Quinton booked them first-class seats, because even though he was rich, he didn't own a jet or a helicopter. Poor Honzou however, was sandwiched between Ranmyaku and Tsuine, which might have been a futile attempt by the humans to keep them from fighting, but in all honesty it only made them argue over him, who simple slumped in his seat to minimalize his impact on the current argument.

In general though, the Faian only gave a rebuttal every now and again while he read the red book. As far as he could tell, it was a journal with a few pictures put inside every couple pages. It was the journal of a female fire demon, and he didn't understand what relevence this had to... anything.

Surprised, he looked up. "Oh, right... here, Ranmyaku, Byron gave this to me to give to you." He said softly, producing the blue book from the folds of his cloak.

Just as he thought, when her fingers touched the cover a heavy lock appeared dead center. In all the time and frustration it took him to shake his own book, she shook hers immediately and a little paper came out. She muttered to herself, reading from the paper that had fluttered from the pages of the book. After musing for a couple moments...

"A peculiar man."

The lock vanished and she stared reading curiously, leaving both of them to wonder what the heck had been written on the paper, what riddle she had just answered.

They touched down in London at gate 9, walking out and seeing Shun and Hayate waiting for them happily. Shun was dressed in jeans and a hoodie, radically different than anything she'd ever seen the other male wearing.

"Rammy-chaaan~" Shun said, running over to her and wrapping his arms around her waist, lifting her and spinning. "I have a feeling that this'll be the end. Please, Ranmyaku... give me a kiss?"

Ranmyaku laughed, probably thinking that he was kidding. That only caused Asuru to smile sadly and Hayate to sigh, almost as though he didn't care, even though he knew that Shun might be getting even worse things on the brain.

Tsuine watched this scene with an odd sense of apprehension. Curiously, he didn't know why he felt that feeling. He felt that the book he had replaced into his cloak would reveal the answers, he just had to read a little further. Just a little further...
