Nanakiyoda: This will be both a boring and awesome chapter, depending on the POV

Tealraptor: Really?

Nanakiyoda: Yeah, Boring in your POV and Awesome in mine...haha

Tealraptor: You think your so damn funny.

Nanakiyoda: I think. Therefore, I am.

MISAO

When we reached our hotel, all of the guys went straight for the bar. Something about getting one last beer in...men...I'll never understand them. Kaoru immediatly jumped into the shower. You would too if you smelled like gasoline and oil. Her and her bike. Jill, Claire and Rebecca sat down at the table in the kitchen after getting a cup of coffee. I was bored out of my mind. Anyone my age would be...sheesh...I'm only eighteen. Then again, so is Rebecca.

"Hey girls...I was thinking, if the boys can go out to a bar and have fun, why can't we?" I suggested as I entered the kitchen. Rebecca looked over at Jill. Claire shook her head.

"Hm...well, I'm not much of a drinker. You and Rebecca aren't old enough either. Neither is Kaoru...so that blows a bar out of the picture." Jill said, giving four reasons not to go. Kaoru popped her head out of the bathroom door.

"Then maybe we should go clubbing?" She suggested and then went back into the bathroom. Clubbing? Well, it use to be fun to sneak into clubs when me and Kaoru were still in high school. Now though, we're allowed to get in. Hm...

"I'm all up for it." I said, jumping into the air in excitement. Rebecca smiled and nodded. Jill shrugged. So thats the plan then. Clubbing! Yah!

"One question though. Not all of us are single. What would Himura think?" Claire said. Oh...yeah. That's right. Then again...hm...tricky tricky...

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Hell, he's out at a bar and he doesn't drink so you know he's bound to check some girls out. Besides, it's not like I'm going to go get laid." Kaoru said, stepping out of the bathroom in her clothes and dry her hair off with a towel. Jill, Claire and Rebecca started laughing. Then to the club we go! Yippee!

KENSHIN

The bar was crowded. I'm here to be the designated driver. We found a table and sat down, Chris and Leon went to get the beer. Barry and Carlos launched into an arm wrestling contest. Aoshi just looked off into the distance.

"What is it?" I asked him. He looked back at me for a moment.

"Soujiro. You guys escaped and he left an hour before you. It is quite possible that he made it out. However, he had the virus." Aoshi said. Hm...that is true.

SOUJIRO

I opened my eyes again. Them...S.T.A.R.S...they're here. They are close. I looked down t the room. There were two scientists. One was Thomaas. The other was new. Sheila Robion. 25. Female. No threat. Sheila was looking up at me, tapping the glass tube with her pencil. Their fault. Umbrella. I studied the glass tube. Weak. One good punch. Thomaas looked up at me and smiled. His fault. Umbrella. Their fault. I looked back down at my right hand. Not a hand but a mass of chitinous claws. Then I looked at my left hand. Normal. The time to pay in now. I looked down at the two scientists and smiled. They jumped back, then looked at each other and laughed. I lifted my right hand up and smashed through the glass. The tube exploded and water rushed out towards the two scientists. I ripped off the oxygen mask and feeding tube. I then stepped out into the room. Thomaas stood up and walked towards me. Sheila screamed and ran towards the door. I grabbed her with my left hand and smashed her face into the wall, blood splattering all over. Thomaas was laughing, telling himself that he was a genius. He even laughed when I ran my right hand through him and flexed my claws, ripping him in half. I looked at the door. Siren started going off. S.T.A.R.S. must be found.

KAORU

As we entered the club, I felt a chill go up my spine. I looked out towards the desert. Someone is coming...someone I once knew...creepy...

"Hey! Kaoru! Get your ass in here!" I heard Jill yell out to me and I took one last glance at the desert. Looking back, I went inside. The club was packed. Misao grabbed my arm and dragged me over to a table. I sat down. This uneasy feeling in my stomach...

"Good day shielas!" A man said to us. He was tall, tan and had dusty brown hair. Great...not even five minutes in here and a guy's aready giving us attention.

"Hello there." Jill crooned out. The guy smiled and held out his hand. Jill accepted and out they went to the dance floor. Misao nudged Claire and off they went to the dance floor. I looked over at Rebecca who was kind of tense. First timer huh?

"Your first time in a club?" I asked her. She nodded. You know, I've never really gotten the chance to talk to her. I don't know her that much.

"You don't seem very relaxed yourself. Something up?" She asked me. Shaking me of my thoughts. She's like Aoshi only nicer...

"Yeah...I have this bad feeling in my stomach...not an ache but like something is going to go wrong." I said and glanced around. Rebecca nodded.

"You too? Maybe we're just nervous." She said. That is possible. Yet...I still have that feeling. I've been nervous before...like everytime I was around Kenshin back in high school...I was afraid I was going to tell him how I felt and screw up our friendship...this feeling isn't like that though. I shook me head.

"No, I'm not nervous." I said. I felt a hand touch my shoulder. Before I knew any better, I had grabbed the arm and flipped the person over my shoulder and into the table. The table broke in half as the person landed on it. I looked at the person and apologized immediatly.

"I'm sorry. I'm just going to leave now." I said and turned around, leaving the club. I walked towards the desert for a while. When the city's lights were the only thing visible, I sat down. Thing are never going to be the same again. I leaned back and looked up at the stars. Amazing...the stars...Umbrella may come and go but the stars will always be there. Even if one burns out, another will take its place. I fell back into the dirt.

"Hey, are you okay?" Jill asked me as she walked up. I sat back up. Turning back to her I smiled. She had a confused look on her face.

"Shouldn't you be getting your groove on with that guy?" I asked her and she shook her head and laughed. Guess she broke it off.

"Not when I see one of my comrades flip a guy onto the table." She answered laughing. I shook my head. So she saw me do that? I didn't even mean to it...it like a reflex.

"I didn't even mean to do it...I just kind of did it when I felt him touch my shoulder." I said.

"Ah...we call that the Umbrella reflex. It kicks in every once in a while. Much like how you roll out of danger. You'll get use to it eventually, but stay away from clubs and bars for a while...I went to one after Spencer and took three guys out." She said and walked over to where I was.

"The stars are beautiful tonight aren't they?" I asked. She nodded.

"Funny isn't it? No matter what happens here on earth, it seems so insignificant to the rest of the universe." Jill said and looked up at the stars, sitting beside me.

"Damned if we do, Damned if we don't. It won't bring them back, but taking Umbrella down is the least we could do. I'm going back to the hotel...I have a feeling I'm going to need all the rest I can get." I said and stood up, stretching.

"I think we should all just go back to the hotel." Jill said and stood up. We both started to head back to the club. When we got to the club, everyone one else was outside.

"It's about time you can back." Misao said. I shrugged.

"Let's go back to the hotel. We are going to need all the rest we can get." Jill said and everyone nodded. Rest...sounds good. That should ready my adrenaline.

SOUJIRO

I walked down the hallway. Not walked, but stomped. My feet had grown heavier and no longer had toes. Four claws stuck out at the end of the mass my feet had become. My entire body had grown to eight feet. All of my skin was blue. I walked into a room. There was a mirror in the corner. A man ran in front of me and pulled out a gun. Ren Carso. 29. Male. Minimal Threat. I grabbed him and threw him aside. Picking up his gun with my left hand, I shot him in his face. Tossing the gun aside, I walked up to the mirror. I'm no longer...The face that looked back at me was not my own. My brown hair was still there but my nose had melded into my face. My lips had been cut away. My teeth were longer now, and pointed. My ears had also melded into my head as well. My left side to my face had been fixed together by metal, like a machine. The eye on that side was not an eye but a scope. My right eye was the same as it once was, except it had a red iris. Them. Umbrella. They did this to me! I punched the mirror with my right claws. I then realized I was nude. Looking down I checked to see if I was still normal. One, two...yeah. Normal there. I grabbed Ren's lab coat and ripped it up a bit. I then took his belt and made myself a loin cloth.

"Very interesting. Project 967, can you speak?" I heard a man ask from over my shoulder. I turned around and faced him. Kenneth Williams. 42. Male. No threat.

"Seak? Ay seak to you?" I tried to say. No lips. Can't speak well. Kenneth smiled.

OWARI

Nanakiyoda: Soujiro is so awesome.

Tealraptor: Dude! You made him into a monster!

Nanakiyoda: I am no dude. At least I was nice enough to keep him normal. He thinks for himself. He still has his brown hair.

Tealraptor: Hm...let's see what you can do with him then.

Nanakiyoda: You're on.

BTW: Next chapter, the team will be at the laboratory.

BTW: I would promise that but promises were made to be broken.
