Hikari awoke with a start. She had one of those feelings, like some thing was gong to happen, but she could do nothing about it. Her first instinct was to stand up and patrol the city, but she couldn't even sit up.
She reached a hand down to touch the place were she had been cut, to find a bandage tied tightly over it. In fact she realized she in a bed, wearing only her pants, breast-band and bandage over her cut on her side and arm.
Hikari looked around the room to see Chichiri, saying a spell. Probably the spell that was keeping her down. 'Why in the name of the gods did they save me? I hurt and robbed them.' She laughed to herself, 'serves me right to get captured by people like them, I was just careless.'
Hikari smiled and looked at Chichiri. "Nice spell." She closed her eyes, "Too bad it won't work. CIRCLE BREAK!" She yelled these words and Chichiri was thrown back into the wall. "You can't get too far, I send Mitsuke for the others, no da. And they should be here any minute, no da." Chichiri stood up and stood in a fighting position, waiting for her to make a move.
"Plus, you can't get far with those wounds, no da." He said, referring to her arm and side, which were already starting to turn a pink shade. Hikari knew this all ready. She was currently scooping the room for an escape, or her sword. She found her sword in a corner by a window, it was almost too perfect. Hikari looked back to Chichiri, he had saw her line of look and was moving to step in front of the sword.
Hikari just moved her finger back and forth, "Sorry. LIGHT FLASH!" Chichiri was blinded and punched into a wall, yet again. When he regained his vision, Chichiri saw that both Hikari and her sword were gone. He cursed under his breath, just as Tasuki burst through the door. "Where is she!?"
Chichiri shook his head, "Sorry Tasuki, no da. She left, no da." Tasuki looked down at the man, "What do you mean she 'left'!" He growled, showing his fangs. "She cast a light spell and blinded me, giving herself time to get her sword and leave, no da." Hotohori frowned, "Do you mean, she knows magic?" "No, any body can do that if they know how and if they have enough power." Mitsuke said, giving Chichiri a hand up from the floor.
Nuriko walked over to the window and pointed something out. "She left a trail of blood. It looks like she went out into the woods." Tasuki pushed Nuriko out of the window frame, "So we just follow this trail and bring Hikari back here." He turned back around, "This is too easy!" With that he jumped out the window, followed by the rest o the sensei, but Chichiri, who walked out the door, shaking his head.
As soon as Hikari was out the window she ran into the woods. She was not aware of the blood trail she was leaving, only that there was a small pain in the arm. 'If they want something from me, They'll have to catch me first.' She ran for a few minutes, before her wound made her stop.
She rested against a tree, panting for breathe. In between, gasps of breathe, she heard foot steps and the voices of the sensei. That's when she realized that she was leaving a trail. She ran in a circle and jumped into the tree she had been resting on. Hikari climbed as far as she could that aloud her to be hidden, but watch what went on below too.
The sensei followed the trail of blood until the came up with a dead end. "She realized that she was leaving a trail and gave us a few to follow." Nuriko said, pointing to the ground. "It's amazing how far she got with those wounds of hers, I wonder how she could get this far?" Chichiri asked himself more than any one else. Tasuki smirked, 'because she's so damn stubborn and determined, just what a girl shod be like.' Tasuki menially slap himself for those thoughts. "We'll have to split up then." Tamahome left before any one could stop him, but they left soon after. Tasuki was about to leave, but he heard a twig snap.
