Quest for the Shikon Jewel ch2
 

OOC: Picking up where we left off...MC has decided to leave the rp for now, so don't get all hung up over his character leaving, just let him go.

BIC: Akia had decided to take the first watch. She sat in the tall branches of a tree with her kama's at her side, watching for an attack. She noticed Nobuki wandering around the camp. "can't sleep?"

Toshiro snored loudly, a line of drool moving slowly up and down as he breathed.

OOC: (Takes a breath) Ok... I'm gonna try and keep up, but if this gets out of hand, I'm gonna have to stop. My time is stretched very thin over the next week or two...

Nobuki stopped and thought to himself. Why am I doing this? There is no reason for me to leave. They need me here. If I leave... I will have broken many promises, one of them from the very man that trained me. He looked to the ground and sighed. I couldn't do that. I couldn't break his promise.

"Can't sleep?"

He twisted his entire body into a fighting stance, only to find Akia standing gaurd over the camp. "Oh... it's only you..." He relaxed, but didn't move from his spot. "Actually... No. I can't... there are many things on my mind, I was going to try and clear my head with a walk, but apparently you have caught me." He took the steps that would lead him back to the camp.

She looks over to Toshiro. "Ewww.... the kid needs a bib or something."
<A bib? He needs alot more then that.>
<You know who i miss.... Maleno. Now that was a nice young man.>
<Yeah... he was. Right up until idiot took over me and killed him.>
<Idiot? Why does everyone call me idiot? It really hurts...... kill!>
<Shut up!!>
<I just need to stay awake.>
<Let me stay awake for you! That way you can sleep, but we can still keep a watch on all of them!>

"Toshiro, wake up..... you're starting to drool."

Ith walked over and took up watch. He made sure to stay as far away from the fire as he could without being out of camp. He looked back as the girl attempted to wake sleeping beauty.

"He's out stone cold girl. If we propped him up on a stick he'd stay there."

She looked over at the old man and then giggled. "Oh, really, a stick? That would be quite interesting. Why are you sleeping? A man at your age should get some rest!" She made her way to the old man, grabbing his arm and trying to walk him over to where everyone had been resting.

He smiled at the girl. She was sweet, but uninformed about this worlds more interesting facets.
"I don't sleep. I meditate. I have forsaken all that which bound my senses to this world in my past life. Including sleep."
He gently took her hand off of his arm, being careful not to prick her with the neko-te that he wore.
"Although it is good that you think of things such as this. I'm also not as old as you would think. Youth is in the soul. Not these pitiful vessels that harbor our souls between dreams."
He smiled, it was a little force but for the most part he meant it.

Tuchai was having his recurring nightmare again. Flames were everywhere. He saw the faces of his parents, and then a large shadow. He saw blood everywhere as his parents were trying to fight the thing off. They fell and the shadow went for him. He tried to fight back, only to find himself sitting up and gasping for air in the group's little campsite. This nightmare had haunted him for nine years and he had always wanted vengeance. Killing Demons seemed to be the only happiness he could really find in his life, just so he could avenge his parents. He got up and started pacing. He hadn't been able to properly sleep for nine years and was getting sick of it.

"So..... What's the best way to completely knock someone unconcious... unless you just want to tell me how to kill someone without creating too much blood."

<Damn it! Give me back the body, Idiot!>
<What the hell do you think you're doing?!>
<That's it, I'm taking over, i can't leave you all alone for one second>

She looked at him and smiled, then laughed.. "It's just a joke. I'm not serious."

Hutari had laid down in a tree where he had slept lightly. He opened his eyes to see Ith and the new girl talking. He smiledand threw an acorn at Ith that was aimed perfectly for his shoulder. He had to stifel a laugh as it flew in the air.
