"Oi, Aya, just how far is that darn place? We've been walking for two hours already. My feet are killing me!" Ken complained. Aya sniffed as he stared at the map given by Manx. Yoji and Omi were lagging behind, also complaining about the summer heat threatening to barbecue them.

"We could ask for directions." Aya plainly said. Yoji smacked his forehead and started yelling.

"Thanks a lot Aya. You know, there're words like 'I think we're lost', so admit it!"

Aya gave a loud growl to the blonde. "Well, if you're so smart, try figuring out how find out which side is north!" The redhead slammed the piece of paper onto Yoji's chest hard causing him to cough.

After that, Aya stormed off to a corner. At the corner of his eye, he saw two people running towards him. He managed to avoid the front person who apologized before the other person behind collided into him.

"Ow… Dammit! Are you blind?' The spiky-dark haired person yelled and rubbed his head. Aya crashed down to the floor against the wall.

"Ban-chan! Are you ok?" The first person who avoided Aya asked. That lanky blonde came running over. Ban got up to his feet brushing dust off his clothes and staring down at the shocked assassin.

"Aya! Daijoubu?" Omi came running over to his leader's side and helped him up.

"I'm fine", Aya said. He leaned against the wall for support before being able to totally stand on his own.

"What a weirdo", Aya heard. He glared at the one who spoke.

"Ban-chan, don't be rude", the blonde said, tugging his arm.

"Whatever, I don't need another weird person in my life anyway", he snorted and walked off. Aya's growl was the only warning before he charged up to Ban and delivered a heavy punch across his back.

To his surprise, Ban avoided it easily and grabbed onto Aya's outstretched arm and twisted it. Aya hitched and when he felt his other arm getting caught as well. "Feisty aren't you? Too bad, you can try a million years and you haven't improved a bit."

"Aya-kun! Let him go!" Omi barked and threw three darts in Ban's direction. This time Ginji stepped in and shot a bolt of electricity towards the darts, causing them to stop and fall to the ground uselessly.

"Omi! Aya!" The two assassins heard. Yoji and Ken stopped a short distance away, Ken in offense mode and Yoji's hand on his watch.

"What kind of invitation is this…?" Ban stopped when he felt the person he was holding relax too much. He only realized later that the redhead fainted.
