Kaori inserted the key, turnin it so the door would finally open. "Damn it's rusted!"
"Get your weapons ready." Trowa said as they entered. Hissing and scuttling noises were all around them, red eyes glawed ahead and from above.
Everyone started attacking at once, except for Kujo, who remained frozen in the doorway. She shook her head and pulled out a fire crystal. She ran in, "everyone get out! I'm gonna use a crystal!"
Everyone dashed outside as Kujo concentrated on using one of the spells on the crystal. The spiders hissed as the flames engulfed them, burning to a crisp, guts splattering all over the small entrance. She turned around. "Let's get this over with."

****

"Onnako's! Why don't you get us something to eat?!" Wufei looked over at Kasumi and Shi.
Shi stomped on his foot. "I'M NOT YOUR FUCKIN' MAID! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!"
Wufei hopped around for awhile howling like mad. Duo fell over, laughing his ass off, as did Kasumi. Shi and Heero just shook their heads.

"Hey! The wall looks weird over there!" Quatre exclaimed, pointing to an odd bit of wall as they marched up a hill. Trowa slashed at it twice and it crumbled. He came out carrying a scimitar.
"Nice design." Kaori remarked. (1)
The small group came to an open area, no spiders in sight.
Kujo hit her hands together. "I know this! Shi told me how to do this and then get out!"
The others made a movement as if to say "how?"
Kujo ran up to the table and grabbed the plate mail. She then climbed up onto a box and jumped onto a plank, causing a barrel of dynamite to fly up and hit the roof. Kaori, Trowa, and Quatre ran for cover as the roof caved in, killing the queen spider and blocking the way out.
"Now what do we do?!" Quatre whined.
Kujo pointed to more boxes across from where they were standing. "We climb up those and get to the ledge! It leads out with no more surprises!"

****

"Hey guys! Have fun!" Shi giggled. They were all covered in spider guts.
"Haha. Very funny Shi." Kujo gave a dry laugh.
Shi got up and went to the old man's house. She came back with a rune of stone. "We use this to get the sword."
"Okay then, let's go!" Kasumi exclaimed.
"But, there's a sorta test to pass, and only one of us can do it." Shi interuptted. "I know how to get the sword and get out, but..."
"But your leg! How're you supposed to get there!" Duo argued.
Shi winced. "That's the problem. It took me five trys to get the test right. We don't need five of you dyeing. So we're better off waiting until morning."

****

"Shi?!" Kujo whined. "Where's the foor?!"
"I told you, I'M NOT THE MAID!" Shi yelled.
"But you got us stuck here." Heero pointed out.
Shi growled. "That's it, I've had it." She got up and threw her stuff in her pack, picking up her glaive.
"Where are you going?" Duo asked.
"If you guys don't stop bugging me, I'm leaving!" Shi exclaimed.
"Uh huh, sure Shi." Trowa said.
Shi started walking to Kamikaze. She turned around. "I am leaving you know." Her voice was shaking.
Everyone ignored her.
Shi held back the tears that came and climbed onto her dragon's back. "SAYONARA JERKS!"
And with that, she was gone.
"She'll be back in the morning." Kujo, Heero, and Trowa said.
"If she was, would she have taken most of the food, both books, the good weapons, and the rune?" Wufei asked as he pointed to their seeminly less amount of supplies.
Everyone started to get a little worried.
"We can't go after her now. It's too dark for us to see." Nataku, Wufei's dragon said.
"She knows where she's going though. We don't have a clue. We'll just have to wait for daybreak." Heero muttered.
"We were a bit mean to her." Kasumi pointed out.
"And it wasn't really her fault. We would've had to come sooner or later." Kaori added.
Everyone murmurmed their agreements.
"We've really screwed up." Duo said, shaking his head. He stretched. "I'm going to sleep."

****

Shi landed Kamikaze and took out the flame sword. The flames danced beautifully upon its blade, but she felt guilty. "I don't deserve this." She considered just leaving it here, but ruled it out because a wartock or an orc might come and take it. That wouldn't be good.
"Go rest up. I'll stay here." Kamikaze motioned to the cave up ahead.
Shi smiled. "You do that. I'm going to see if I can trade a weapon for food and a room."

****

Shi looked down at her supplies. Her stomach growled. "Damnit I'm hungry..." She looked around. "This village is new... it's not in the game or on the map." Shi sighed and picked up a blade she had found last night. "Excuse me?"
The bartender turned around. She felt herself blush at how hot he was. He had short messy brown hair like Heero's, but his eyes were soft and gentle like her koi's. "Yes?"
"Uh... How much money would I get off this sword?"
He smiled. "You're part of the order, aren't you? Only they have blades like that."
Shi blushed some more and smiled meekly. "I'm Shi no Senshi."
"Hikaru." He smiled back. "That blade won't buy much. Only two meals and one night stay."
Shi shrugged and pulled the hood of her cape down. "Perfect."
"So what would you like to eat?" Hikaru asked.
"Whatever's good and comes cheap."

TBC!

Hehe! Who wouldn't love a Heero look-a-like?! And his name is Hikaru while I'm at it!
Oh yes, that's very nice Kakyuu, you're only screwing up the game play only a lot. Now what part is he going to play in it?
Well, you'll see minna-san!

glaives and knives,
