Back at home

Ryu kept shaking Anime, hoping that it would wake her up, but it only failed.
Renji calmly said "Ryu, you have to calm down"

"Calm down? CALM DOWN?? We're going to lose her, and you want me to calm
down?!" Ryu said with rage. Renji sighed as she said "if you would just let me
finish, I could tell you that I can make an antidote to save her. But I need you
to calm down so I can make the antie."

He nodded and looked back at Anime thinking 'Don't you dare die on me!
Wait... Why do I care so much? Is it because she showed me respect, and didn't
care that I'm a Neko demon? I don't understand anything anymore...' Renji
grabbed some herbs that she found while collecting the fire wood and started
to make an antidote. Akuma walked up to Ryu and Anime, looking back and forth
between them. He looked back at Ryu and spoke to him in his thoughts So... you
like... this girl...? Ryu looked at Akuma and quickly said "no! Why would I? I
just met her!"

Akuma laughed in his head and Ryu gave him a angry look telling him to shut
the hell up. Than Renji walked up to Ryu and said calmly "Get her to drink this.
she'll wake up tomorrow morning." He took the bottle from Renji's hands and
gave it to Anime. Renji saw the very concerned look on Ryu's face and said
"Don't worry, she'll be fine in the morning she just needs rest. thank god
that she had a map to her house, lets go." Ryu nodded and carried Anime on his
back and started to follow Renji with Akuma behind him.

After a hour of walking, Ryu just couldn't think about how Anime fought. To
him, it seemed like she was fighting like she was in a army... No, her skills
were stronger than a soldier, it was the power and skill of a general. but
then he thought that there was no way that she could be a general, she just
didn't look like the kind of person to be in an army.

He was brought out of his thoughts, by something gripping his shoulders. He
turned his head to see that Anime was gripping his sholders in her sleep and
thought that maybe she was having a bad dream, but he couldn't tell because
her face was so calm. So he thought that maybe she was only doing that so she
wouldn't fall off. Than after awhile they saw a really big house that looked
like it would fit at least 20 people in it. Ryu asked "are you sure that this
is her house?"

Renji looked at the map again and said "yup this is her house... She never
said that it was really big... well lets see how to get inside." They looked
at the door and it had a really strange lock. The lock had four slits in it
and no one could figure it out. An hour later the couldn't figure out how the
lock works and they gave up. Renji sighed as she sadly said "how are we suppose
to get in? Why did she make a lock like this it's like a damn puzzle!"

Ryu nodded and said "well what can we do she's the only one that knows this
and she's sound asleep still trying to recover from the poison." Renji sighed
again and asked "what are we going to do? it's going to rain soon..." Than
they hear someone mumbling "claws..." Ryu looked at Anime and asked "what did
she mean by that?" Renji just shrugged and said "Anime what did you mean by
claws?" Anime just mumbled again "claws... are the key... to door."

Renji and Ryu were even more confused than before... Ryu asked, with a
confused look "what did she mean by that?" Renji shrugged again and Akuma
calmly said use... your claws... in the lock... duh. Renji walked back to the
door and put four of her claws in the holes and made a turn 'till there was a
clicking sound. She opened the door and was in shock and said "wow... I never
thought that she would have this kind of lock. in fact, I never knew that they
made these. I wonder where Anime-chan got this?"

Ryu shrugged and said "come on, we should get inside already and let Anime
get some rest. also, I can't stand to carry her right now." Than they all
walked in and as soon as they did it started to rain. Ryu put Anime on a couch
since they didn't know where her room was. He found a blanket on a chair and
placed it on her to keep her warm. Ryu sat in a chair that was close to the
couch watching over Anime. Renji walked in and asked "how is she? Any fever's
or anything?"

He shook his head and said "she's fine by the looks of it she's having a
really nice dream." Renji fell asleep on the other couch in the living room
and Ryu fell asleep on the chair and as for Akuma he fell asleep on the
floor.
