Keryil felt sweat drip down her face, she felt that maybe… just maybe, she had finally solved the murder cases…maybe this was even connected to the bakery case? She didn't know, what she did know was that couldn't take all three at once, it was always her weakness…

"Drop the bag…" she said in a calm voice, no should couldn't show them how scared she was, she already had cast blessing and agility up on herself, but it probably wouldn't be enough, she took a small needle out of her pocket while everyone was looking at her other hand a quickly injected it's contents into herself, instantly she felt calm,

The crusader dropped the bag onto the floor, a head rolled out and struck one of the cherry blossoms, she felt herself go sick as she recognized the face, "How… you bastard… YOU KILLED HIM!" she screamed, then the drug kicked in again and she calmed down,

"Wait, Miss Enforcer, we have proof we didn't kill him!" the assassin said putting her weapon on the ground, she took a step forward,

"You can tell me from where you're standing." Keryil snapped,

"Okay, here's proof, look at his chain mail, there's no way we could've killed him and destroyed the chain mail this badly…"

By now the partner that was assigned to her had shown up, "Keryil, there's enough proof, let the man go." He said sternly,

"That's no proof… a blacksmith can just as easily break that with a few strokes of his hammer." Keryil shot back, she looked back at the trio, "Wait, where's the…"

"Back stab!" the rouge yelled jumping out and swinging his dagger, Keryil barely managed to get out of the way, at that point, her partner jumped on her and pinned her down,

"Calm down Keryil, this is no way to behave!" he shouted,

"LET ME GO!" she screamed in his face kicking wildly,

"C'mon, you, the rouge and the crusader, help me!"

The rouge and the crusader nodded and held her down,

"I'LL KILL YOU I'LL KILL YOU I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" Keryil screamed, her body produced so much adrenaline that the drug wasn't strong enough to hold it back, but it was enough to lower her strength to the point where she could not break free, she struggled a few more times, finally she gave up completely,

Downtrodden, her partner took her back to HQ formally apologizing to the travelers and some people from the church came to pick up the remains and to bury them,

"What do you think you're doing Ms Hanosaki?" the captain of the enforcers said angrily to Keryil,

"I'm sorry sir… but the body…" Keryil apologized,

"I've told you time and time don't let your emotions distract you from doing your job properly, if Mr. Eichi hadn't arrived, then what would've happened?"

"Sir I…"

"You're off the force, I'm suspending you for a week." Then the captain went back to his papers,

Keryil wanted to argue, but her captain had a point, and a very valid one, she nearly ended up killing an innocent…

As she trudged along she saw the three again, the assassin was talking, the crusader was looking elsewhere and the rouge was on the verge of falling asleep,

She walked up to them, "Hi… sorry about earlier. I let my emotions get the best of me I guess…"

The assassin looked at her cautiously, the rouge snapped from his tired expression to an active one, but the crusader smiled,

"Hi, my name is Ender, this is Merciless and that's Zero. And from what I've heard, you are Keryil?"

"Yeah…" Keryil turned back to the road and continued walking, finally reaching the her home, she went to the fridge and poked around, she decided dinner would be pasta with some white sauce she found and bits of leftover picky meat,

She cooked the pasta; it was something she had done since she was little, so getting it to al dente 1 wasn't very hard, next she heated the sauce and threw some peas and picky meat in, just as she was done, Sakura arrived home,

"Keryil? You're home early…" Sakura said surprised, usually Keryil stayed until half an hour after Sakura got home,

"I got suspended from the force." Keryil said finding some bowls in the cupboards,

"What did you do?"

"I nearly ended up killing an innocent because I let my emotions run free and I was using anepathbezene again." Keryil said putting down the last few doses that she had,

"You promised you wouldn't take anymore!" Sakura said with a disappointed tone in her voice,

"It doesn't matter, it's only a week, I'll be back…" Keryil said putting the pasta into the bowls and setting them on the table,

"It doesn't matter? Keryil, the penalty for killing in Prontera is death! And death is death! You can't just say 'oh, it was an accident', how can you be so careless?"

"Look, I wouldn't have killed him… just knocked him out."

"How do you know? How do you know that your emotions and that stupid drug wouldn't have pushed you over the edge?"

Keryil slammed her fist onto the table, "I don't know okay? I don't know! Just leave me alone! You would've done the same thing if you saw that it was Idun who was in the bag!"

"I…Idun?" Sakura gave a sob, then she began to cry,

Keryil felt guilty, this wasn't Sakura's problem, this was her own… "Look, I'm sorry, his funeral is tomorrow, we can both go. As for tonight, let's just do what we love to do after a stressful day okay?"

"Sex?"

"No, the other one."

"Yay!"

Merciless walked angrily into a field, Zero had gone to sleep in front of Prontera square, Ender had walked off to somewhere, and she decided to train, suddenly a flash of a scythe caused her to duck,

Baphomet? What was it doing her? She thought wildly to herself as the large cow demon took another swipe at her,

"Help!" she screamed as she continued to dodge and jump narrowing avoiding each attack,

"I'm coming!" someone yelled, Merciless saw a mage running towards her; and a giant rock, as she leap over another attack, the mage ran into the rock and flipped over,

"AIEEEE!" the mage screamed as he flew through the air, two yellow stones fell out of his pockets and into one of his hands, as Merciless ducked, the mage's hand with the stones hit baphomet,

There was a flash of light, then the demon was turned into a poring, she now knew, it was the ability hocus pocus, she examined the mage to find oddly enough he was a wizard,

But shouldn't only sages be able to use the skill? That was weird…

The wizard stirred and stood up, "Are you okay miss?" he said quickly,

"That's a poring…" Merciless said with a slight laugh at the wizard, who apparently was either very silly, or blind,

"Oops… hehe…"

Night fell onto Prontera, tired families went to sleep, nothing was moving, all was silent, unless one looked out the window, even then one would only see a blur, and think it was a trick of the light.

But it wasn't, a fox-like creature ran through the city, silently, stealthily, jumping onto buildings here and there to avoid the occasional person, finally she jumped on top of the Prontera castle and look out, her form a silhouette against the bright moon, there was a sound and a wolf-like creature landed on the other side of the church,

"Werewolf Hanosaki…" the fox-like creature smiled,

"Sorry I took so long, nearly ran into someone." Hanosaki laughed,

"Maybe next time I'll take your route, but I'll still beat you!"

"Kitsune Tenshi… you wish…"

"Hah, no matter the route, I'll still beat you here Keryil!"

"I just let you win… Sakura…"

"And that's why I love you so. Hmm… did you remember to wash the dishes?"

Keryil embraced Sakura, "Shh… don't ruin the mood…"

Then they kissed.

"Have you seen her?" Mita asked Shingen looking around for Dee,

"No, I'm sure I saw her run here…" Shingen said frustrated,

"Moo…" Dee nodded,

"There she is!" Mita shouted,

"Moooo" Dee laughed running away…
