Chapter 13: "No worries. Promise"

Night had come and the assassins were gathered in shadows on a forest covered hill top. The moon was out with half power on the cloudless night giving the whole lay of the land a harmonious erie glow.

Aya turned to the two new to the group. "Remember the plan girls. You wait here until we get back. We don't really know what is in there"

Ivy sighs and starts to complain that she can help. Carr Carr joins in the attempted convincing.

Yoji steps up and places a hand on Ivy shoulder. "We care for you way to much for you to get hurt. So please just stay here." Both girls bow there heads and give in to the boys wishes. "Thank you." The guys turn and leave. Running from shadow to shadow.

The girls watch them make it to the building. Ivy plops down and looks to the sky sighing. Carr Carr joins her friend.

"So how do you feel about the rest of the episode?" Carr Carr asks her friend Ivy.

Ivy pulls her knees close and places her head on them. After a minute or so she answers in a sad tone. "I can say that I am not looking forward to it very much. To be truthful I don't know what I will do when I see that bitch."

"Ivy you know Yoji wouldn't be very happy if he heard you say that about Auska."

"Its not Auska I mean Neu. The changed bitch that will break my beloved's heart. I really don't want to be around for when she comes back with us to night. I think I rather die." Ivy said morfully.

Carr Carr placed her friend in a light hug "don't worry it will be" but before Carr Carr could finish her sentence they hear a plain of glass breaking. Both heads snap up to see Ken jumping out of the window. Fallowed closely by Tot.

"Shit!" Ivy said as the girls got up and started running down to the building.

Ken looks up as he rolls out the way of a umbrella attack to see the girls running towards him. "Stay back!" Ken yells at them. The girls slow to swoon at the care that Ken was giving towards them.

Tot notices the girls and turns and runs off around the building. Ken stands fully and turns to the girls. "What are you doing here? Your suppose to be up at the meeting place. You know what? . . . whatever just stay out the fight!" Ken turns around putting on his goggles, jacket and gloves. He then runs to back to the building smashing though another plain of glass.

Girls lean there heads together and quote "Now that I have my claw! I can fly!" and burst in to fits of giggles. Ivy slowly looks back at the window that Ken entered from.

"Hey Carr Carr is this the part that I think it is?" Ivy asked any emotion draining from her face except worry.

Carr Carr looked at the window solely nodding. Ivy slowly closes her eyes and starts to move forward. "Ivy you cant." Carr Carr grabbed her friend by the arm to stop her from moving forward. "I know you want to help but you cant. Not right now. You will just be hurting Yojis pride and he has to do this to bury his past." Ivy hung her head and balled her fists. The rocks on the gravel started to shake.

"But my Yoji is beeing beaten to a pulp. I cant just stand a side and let it happen" Ivy said though gritted teeth. The rocks began to rise to knee hight.

Tears started to slowly roll down both the girls cheeks. "I can hardly hold back my self but there gona' come out soon and Aya will kill us if he sees us down here so some on we have to hide!" Carr Carr starts to pull Ivy toward a bush. The rocks fall to the grown as Ivy lets them go. They kneel down just in time to see the other Shrient girls come leaping out of the broken windows Aya in tow.

Head lights blaze around the corner of the building fallowed by a pink bug. Tot at the wheel. Tot squeals the car to a stop and let the 3 others jump in. As Ken and Omi comes out to join Aya. She swings the car around and aims it at Aya. Omi rases his cross bow and aims for the tire.

He fires. From the bush Carr Carr whispers to Ivy "I'm putting my crossbow down and going home" both girls stifle laughs.

Omi's arrow hits the tire and sends pieces flying and the car out of control. The car swerves and hits Neu instead. Omi drops to his knees tears starting to flow from his eyes mumbling "I didn't want that to happen"

The pink car swerves again and drives off into the night. Carr Carr scrambles to stand and run to Aya .

Aya turns to see who was running towards them. "Carr Carr! What are you doing here? I told you to stay there no matter what! What do you think your doing coming down here? Those girls are dangerous! You don't know how dangerous!" Carr Carr ignores the scolding from Aya and hugs him.

Yoji gingerly jumps out of the window to see Neu laying on the ground. Face down, not moving. He rushes over to her and starts to mumble her name "Auska, Auska." He gingerly touches her arm to feel warmth coming from it. He slowly roles her over and wipes the dirt from her face. "Auska Auska!"

Omi stands, walks over to the pare on the ground and checks her pulse. After a minute of watching her face for signs and counting Omi speaks "She has a pulse its very faint. She is just in shock, it's a good chance he will live from the hit" He looks up at Yoji battered and brused. "The other girls tried to run down Aya" he paused looking down "I. ..I shot out one of there tires and. . . I didnt mean for this to happen you have to under stand. They swerved and hit her instead. I am so sorry Yoji."

Behind all the commotion Ivy gets up and leaves making no noise. She runs into the surrounding forest sticking to trees and shadows to hide her presence. For a moment she teased her self by thinking that Yoji saw her leave. Tears streamed down her face as her heart started to crack.

Carr Carr clings to Aya's arm as she, Aya and Ken watch Omi tell Yoji what happened.

After short words they decide to take her back with them and get her checked out. Yoji carring Neu lead the way back to the cars, fallowed by Ken and Omi at a distance. Carr Carr turns and looks behind the bush that her and Ivy were hiding in earlier.

She sees lettering in the dirt. She creates a ball and shine's it on the places. It reads

'meet you back at the house. No worries. Promise."

In the distance you hear a tree being up rooted with a painful scream and lunched across the forest. Birds scattering into the night sky.

Carr Carr looks up sad and forlorn. Aya looks at her. "I swear if she's getting it on with Schuldich, I'm gona be pissed that she didn't invite me!" She looks to the questioning face of Aya then at the back of Ken. "I guess I cant really order you and or Ken to go look for her can I?"
