planning

Kirai shook his head. "No, I wouldn't have! I'm too scared. Haven't you noticed I'm a total coward?" he asked with a serious tone.

Lilly glared at him through half closed eyes and yawned again, she would have said more if she hadn't begun to snuggle close to Cloud and fell asleep again. Saying one thing aloud as she fell asleep,"...My Cloud..," and with that she fell asleep.

~next day~

Artemis woke up with a start when he realized he had fallen asleep when he gone to check on Sora and looked around frantically. Kirai sat up when he noticed Artemis moving. "Whatcha lookin for?," he asked tiredly. Artemis looked at Kirai, "W-when did I fall asleep?..I don't even remember getting tired or even how I got over to this spot," said Artemis confused.

"Is Cloud awake?," he asked. Kirai shrugged. "I dunno. I wasn't really paying attention."

He looked over at Cloud and Lilly. "...I dunno, but Lilly was up a while ago threatening to hurt me if I hurt Cloud."

He laughed a bit. "Like I could hurt Cloud." Artemis laughed, "Well now I'm sure that means she okay, and can freely kill anyone she pleases," said Artemis.

He stood and walked over to Cloud to check if he was awake, "Hey you awake Cloud?," he asked quietly trying not to wake Lilly. Cloud blinked awake and looked up at Artemis. He noticed he was still holding onto Lilly but decided not to let go. Cloud yawned a bit, "..Yesh?"

Artemis gave him a look," 'Yesh?' is that how you speak when you wake up?,"l aughed Artemis as he heard Cloud answer him.

"D-do you have any idea..what we should do f-first?," Artemis said through laughter. Cloud glared at him. "Indeed it is, sir."

He let go of Lilly and gave Artemis a blank look. "And maybe we should find out where they keep the captain." Artemis stopped laughing after a while and looked at him confused, "Why the captain? Whats so important about him?," asked Artemis. He glanced at Lilly for a moment and made sure she hadn't woken up yet.

Lilly shook her head lightly as Cloud had let go of her and opened her eyes and looked over at him and rubbed her eyes,"Mmm...hm?..Whats going on?," she whined. Cloud blew some of the hair out of his eyes. "He's like the ringleader of everything. If we can figure out where he is then that's one step closer, right?"

He looked at Lilly and patted her on the head. "We're planning."

"So..thats a good point..but what makes him important to you? You seem to have another motive from what I can tell," said Artemis.

Lilly rubbed her eyes again as she looked at them,"Whos this 'we'?..," she asked still not noticing Artemis and the others. Cloud thought for a second, wondering if he should tell him. Couldn't hurt anything, right?, "He's been keeping Lilly's sound on for no reason. She wishes to kill him."

Cloud tilted his head at Lilly. He pointed to Artemis. "That one."

Artemis was surprised to hear that, "She had a sound?..Did she have one when you first met her?..its odd to hear that someone who was raised and trained by them wants to kill the captain," said Artemis.

Lilly looked at who he was pointing at and quickly got to her feet and took a step forward in front of Cloud to defend him. At that same moment Sora woke up and growled, "You should have let her die!"

Cloud nodded. "She did. I don't know if-"

He gave her a confused look. "Lilly what are you doing?" He laughed a little. "We're civil. All's well, love."

He looked over at Sora and shrugged. "Well, me and Artemis are."

Primrose stood up and rubbed her eyes. "Nyaa. Whats going on?," she asked, childishly tugging on Artemis's sleeve. Lilly gave Cloud an odd look before she gave him one last look and dropped her guard. But the moment she saw Primrose she lost it.

"Traitor! you went with him and left Prism alone to get killed you traitor!," she shouted at Primrose as she took an advance towards her.

Artemis gave her smile," We're making up a pl-,"Artemis quickly pulled Primrose behind him as Lilly got angry and advanced towards them. Primrose's eyes were wide with fear. She didn't know how to respond and simply clung to Artemis's shirt as she hid behind him.

Cloud grabbed Lilly's hand and pulled her back. "I know you're mad but we have to work with them," he whispered to her, wrapping his arms around her from behind, half to keep her there and half because he wanted to.

Prism groaned. "Shut up over thereee." She rolled over. "I'm injured and I want sleep," she complained. Artemis looked at Cloud them back to Primrose and brought her next to him and held her there with one arm her waist.

Lilly glared at Primrose and went wide eyed when she felt herself get pulled back by Cloud as he explained what they were doing. She didn't bother to fight back while in his grip and simply remained still as she let herself calm down and leaned her head on his chest. "Okay..fine..," she pouted.

"Oh get over it and wake up you brat," said Lilly as she looked over a Prism. Primrose leaned against Artemis and yawned again. "So what are we doing?," she asked, her voice a little bit higher due to her tiredness. Cloud smirked. "Good girl," he praised her, snuggling her a bit from behind.

Prism glared at Lilly and sat up. "Someone's in a bad mood?," she asked with a bit of a smirk. Artemis looked at her, "Were planning to find the captain and let Lilly here kill him," said Artemis.

Lilly glared at Prism when she heard the comment," You wanna make a point there brat?," Lilly asked in a growl. She was obviously mad for certain reasons that were obvious and she wouldn't say anything about it. "If you want to make something of it I'll be glad to teach you a lesson brat," she said as she got ready to try and get out of Cloud's grip.

"We might have a cat fight on our hands Cloud," warned Artemis. Primrose nodded and yawned once again. She snuggled against Artemis and frowned. "Why am I so tired."

Cloud tightened his hold on Lilly. "Lilly, calm down," he said in a calming voice. "I know you're capable of killing people now but you don't have to use my sister as demonstration."

He looked at Prism and shook his head.

Prism rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

"Probably because you had to watch your back since Sora still refuses to trust you," said Artemis.

Lilly growled at Prism.

When she had tried to get free and found herself still in his grip she huffed heavily and tried to only focus on the words he said to her. Although she had the need to kill someone from her anger, it fueled the anger she held at the captain and since it was now free to be let out, she let his voice calm her and she finally relaxed in his grip and nodded. "Alright...I'll stay calm the best I can," she told Cloud. Primrose thought about it for a second. "...Well I wouldn't blame her," she said with a small smile.

Cloud smiled. "Thankyou~" He kissed Lilly's cheek before looking at Artemis. "So what were we discussing?," he asked, not letting go of Lilly. Artemis nodded at Primrose before looking back at Cloud. "We were discussing on how we would find the captain," he reminded him.

Lilly nodded calmly as she looked at the two and gave one last glare at Primrose before she let herself close her eyes not to sleep, but to try and lose herself in her thoughts to calm down more.

Sora growled under her breath as she watched them. "Oh yeah. I don't have any idea how," he said with a small laugh.

Kirai slowly walked over to Sora and, upon noticing that she was still tied up, removed the ropes from her. He sat down next to her and smiled. "Hi."

Artemis sighed and shook his head, "Well...do you have any idea what his last position was?," asked Artemis. Lilly glanced up at him, "Let me track him when you find the position...I'll find him..," she growled.

Sora gave Kirai a look, he had a mistake he untied her, she gave a smirk and she jumped to her feet and was quick to snatch Lilly from Cloud's grip and pin her to the ground. Lilly's eyes went wide when she found herself on the ground and the wind knocked from her body and didn't have time to react when Sora grabbed her by the collar and held Artemis's dagger at her throat. Cloud looked at Kirai. "What the fuck? You idiot!"

Kirai blinked. "Uhh." He hadn't expected that to happen.

Prism acted quickly and pulled Sora off of Lilly, throwing her to the ground and knocking the dagger away from her. She glared at Kirai as she held her down. "You! You just sit in the corner!"

Artemis quickly ran over to Lilly and looked over at Kirai, "you moron why do you think she was ties up?,"he shouted. Lilly blinked a few times as she tried to catch her breath again in gasps of air. Sora struggled in Prism's grip as she tried to get free and held her tongue back from letting a new vocabulary come from her mouth. Kirai facepalmed and sat down. "Yeah yeah I know."

Cloud helped Lilly up and examined her worriedly. "Are you okay? You didn't get hurt right? She didn't cut you?"

Artemis rolled his eyes and didn't bother getting the rope Prism seemed to have her pinned down just fine. Lilly looked at Cloud as she coughed a few times for air but shook her head, "n-no..I'm not hurt," she said to him. Cloud tilted his head. "Are you sure? You're positive?"

Primrose laughed a little. Cloud was caring about someone. "Yes, I'm positive, you can check yourself if you need to just to be sure," Lilly said as she looked at him and sighed. That was a wakeup call she hadn't expected to get that morning. Cloud shook his head and looked to the side. "No..just worried," he said quietly.

He spun around and looked at Primrose. "And you. Whats so funny, eh?," he asked with a glare.

Primrose gestured to him. "You. With emotions. Its rather hilarious, actually."

Lilly finally got her breath back and glared at Primrose angrily, "If he hadn't old me to behave I would have killed you by now newbie and don't forget it," she said icily. Lilly held her hand to a small case in her hip that had a small knife in it and was ready to grab it if she had to.

Sora continued to get free from Prism and finally gave up when she saw they were talking about something else. Primrose rolled her eyes. "Yeah yeah. Whatever."

Cloud turned to Kirai. "You. What'd you do that for?"

"I didn't know she'd freak out!," Kirai defended.

"Why else would we tie her up?"

Lilly shifted to her feet and was trying her best to behave and had placed her hand on the case that held the knife and was ready to attack. Artemis walked over to Kirai, "did you miss the speech spazz?,"he asked Kirai as he poked him in the head. Kirai glared at Artemis. "No. I'm just stupid."

"Damn right." Cloud rolled his eyes. "Anyway. As I believe we were discussing before someone let Sora loose, I do not know where his last position was. They didn't let me know anything, in fact I've only spoken to him once." Artemis looked back to Cloud, "Only once..hmm that should be good enough let me see that thing you have there, I can track last positions but not current ones. And if I find them..try and hold her back before we leave, we need a plan or else she'll end up dead before we can help..unless you wanna take her lead," laughed Artemis.

Cloud touched the headset. "Oh. I forgot I had this on."

He took it off and handed it to Artemis. "And no, I do not," he said with a bit of a smile. Artemis chuckled as he took the headset and messed with it a bit, he took his watch and connected it to the headset and in a few minutes Artemis had gotten the last position. "He seems to have been at a public school..a high school in fact," said Artemis.

Lilly's head shot up when she heard the last position, she got to her feet and muttered something under her breathe before she looked outside. She didn't bother giving it another thought as she took off.

"Crap! Cloud we have to stop her!," shouted Artemis.
