kicks stupid writting muse Yeah I am VERY late in updating but I have one hell of a need to write and guess what, I am RP deprived, gonna add a link to keep all my stories and stuff so I can make corections and not have to reload the pages, just something in what was there originally that I don't wanna disturb.

So back in the saddle again, lord help you guys, with a lull in the school work and no place to put this creative energy you guys are stuck with an update or two while I wait for courses again, not to mention acquiring the original series, Asguard, Hades and Ovetures DVD in the original format with the subtitles ... don't ask, I like hearing the original voices for some reason, Mu just can not be easily replaced even with the softest voice from the dubbed versions.

Chapter 9

He'd moved, not that he wanted to so much after the damage was done but he had moved ... just enough to get the drywall off his face as everyone was yelling around him. What the hell hit him he wasn't to clear on at that second but he really had to remember not to do it again. It wasn't until he heard Shun's voice with that edge of concern that he caught on something was really wrong, not granted that wasn't the first time everything felt like it hurt all over, he didn't expect it to be the last either but to hear Shun cooing to him gently worried him more then the pain. "What happened ?"

"That was a question we were gonna ask you, what are you doing making a bigger hole in my wall?" chided Hyoga, not that he was mad about it but that had been his comforter that now held half a ton of drywall dust all over it, not to mention Ikki's legs draped up on his bed.

"I hate to point this out but ... where is Shaka?" the dragon asked, after all it had been Shaka that had blasted the last hole in the wall and it seemed odd that this time he was absent from the room as was any sign of an attacker.

"Oh great ... a lovers spat" sighed Seiya jokingly, they'd seen enough of those around here to know you usually didn't end up through a wall over one but what an easy shot to get in on Ikki.

"Oh of all the blasted thick headed ... he's gonna have the floor mopped with his own cloth ..." grunted Ikki as he moved to rise, finally finding a stable place to drop the palm of his hand and get up, it seemed he was about to demonstrate to Goldilocks what the hell teamwork meant in the end ... which didn't include trying to knock the rest of your team senseless.

"Uh Ikki, maybe you should rest a minute ... you are hurt after all" continued Shun in that same tone, still confused as to exactly what happened and why but figuring his brother would let them in on it in a few minutes.

" Yeah ... well I'd love to stay and have a social but now is not the time, get hold of Sanctuary and tell em we've got trouble ... and just in case get us a ride there too, I've got a class about to go in session" was all Ikki gruffed out as he went back through the hole and grabbed his cloth, the time to explain was well beyond and although he doubted he'd been downed for to long it wouldn't take long for some freak watching the house to figure out Shaka had left either.

" Hey, your not leaving us behind if it's trouble" shouted Seiya, after all trouble usually equaled some fun, even if it was later in the evening, better then watching wrestling anyways, not that Ikki paid any mind to him but that didn't stop Seiya as he went after his own cloth.

" Shun ... we have really gotta work on your brother" was all Hyoga got out before he grinned and shot for his own cloth, if one person was involved it was usually better if the rest of the group was there to back that play, not to mention Ikki was his personal picking point, which meant he so wanted to know just what happened.

" Well at least the explanation should be interesting" Shiryu shrugged as he watched Shun follow Hyoga to his room before going to grab his own cloth, taking note that following the cosmo of Phoenix wouldn't be a problem as it was burning along with Ikki's temper.

Upon arriving at the old coliseum Shaka entered it, he had been looking for a place out of notice so as to make his way home but the closer he had been to the manor the more likely he was going to get stopped along the way which was the exact reason he had distanced himself from there unfortunately as soon as he'd stepped foot inside the huge doors he'd found exactly what he'd been going home to find, everything he'd wanted but way to soon, before he'd even had time to get his plan into motion as he was hauled from his feet half way across the arena, embedding his cloth ... box and all into one of the walls as he slumped out from the straps that held it to his back straight to the seats below.

By the time the bronze knights had shown up it was all decided as Skaka had never recovered from the initial blow, instead relying upon his shield to keep any further damage from being caused while he recouperated under it, and the time it's self measured in minutes rather then hours so off guard had he been taken.
