[Summary: Kioshi is forced by an old team member to take care of some demon activity on Earth. Rem, Zaira, Sotaru, Taronis, Aergan, & Kakairo offer to go with him. He agrees for their help but leaves without telling them the night before they were supposed to leave. Takara is having a vacation on Earth in LA when she runs into Jack, who is there for the same reason. There, they literally run into Kioshi.]

The room was small but cozy. A wooden door opened & led into a hallway. On one side of the hallway was a closet & on the other side was the bathroom. A few feet down the hallway was the actual room. It contained the same entertainment center, TV, nightstand, a bed, & a table beside a huge curtain-covered window with some squishy chairs around it. Some paintings of LA at night & a garden decorated the wall & lamps spilled warm light into the room. All in all, it was nice & welcoming.
The hum of the TV was the only sound in the 3AM atmosphere. The news was on, the informative tone of the newscaster rumbled softly. The dim light of the TV flashed off of it. Kioshi had fallen asleep listneing to it. The angel was lying on his stomach with his head laying on a pillow he was hugging. Takara peeked at him from behind her hand of cards. She had convinced the guys to stay with her for the remaining days they said they would be here. Kioshi still hadn't told her why he was here. She instantly suspected something.
"Do you think the other's know he left?" she asked
Jack shrugged as he picked up a card & laid it down. He smirked & set his hand down. "Straight."
Takara sat her's down in a bored manner. "Full House." She said dully.
"Crap! How are you always winning?!" Jack shouted in frustration.
Takara shrugged. A tapping sounded on the door. She scooped up her $50 and walked over tothe door. After unlocking it & pulling the chain back, she pulled it open & smiled.
"Hey! I was wondering when you all would get here."
Rem & Zaira smiled back & waved. "Hi, Taka!"
"Hey!" Takara replied. She looked down at the fuming face of Kakairo. "You look like you want to kill something."
"Where. Is. Kioshi?" the demoness spat out.
Takara stepped out of the doorway to let them in & pointed at the bed ther angel was sprawled across. Kai stomped past her, followed by Rem, Zaira, Taronis, & Aergan. The giant vampire had to duck down to avoid slamming his head against the door frame. He tried straightening but was still an inch too tall & slammed his head on the ceiling.
Takara smirked up at him as he grumpily rubbed his head. "How's the weather up there?"
"Cloudy, windy, & calling for many migraines...." he grumbled crossly.
Takara chuckled as she closed the door behind him. Sotaru had somehow already gotten in & had made himself at home by sitting cross-legged on the roof. As Aergan passed beside him, he poked his head.
"Hey look! A spider! Anyone got a big a** newspaper?" he asked.
Sotaru grunted at him & Aergan joined the others in a corner, where they watched with interest as Kai approach Kioshi.
The demoness stalked over to one side ofthe bed, lifted her wings off her shoulders for maneuverability, grabbed the bottom of the mattress, & flipped it up. There was a commotion of much tumbling as Kioshi was flung off the cozy mattress & rolled across the floor. The angel woke up in a mid-somersault & perched himself onto one knee. A glare filled with awareness, irritation, & surprise scanned the room as he tried to recollect what had happened. When he realized he was not in some battlefield but still in the hotel room, his expression turned into comic confusion. He turned his head to look at Takara.
"Um... what just-" His eyes grew wide & he rolled to the side just in time to avoid being kabobed by Kakairo's sword. The blade sunk deep into the floor where Kioshi once was. Kioshi grinned childishly at her.
"Nice to see you too, Kai."
Kakairo growled irritatedly at him, wretched her blade free & lunged at him. Kioshi's eyes popped out again as he stumbled back to avoid a slash, back-flipped onto his feet to dodge another, & ducked in time to refrain from getting hit in the head with a alarm clock.
The spectators sweatdropped. Takara handed each person a cup of tea she had conjured out of nowhere.
"So... how did you find us, anyways?" she inquired over the continueous noise of breaking and shattering objects that kept flying and Kio.
"Ninjas can be quite handy." Taronis said enthusiastically. Zaira grinned & made a peace sign. Sotaru seemed entranced by the TV.
((No! Don't look into the light, Sotaru! Don't be taken by the sublimanel messages! *writer gets bonked on the head* [Readers: STOP SIDE TRACKING!!] *coughs* eenywho...))
"Oh! Hey Rem! How have you been?" Jack asked, acting as if he just realized five more people just waltzed into the room.
Rem nodded at him. "Fine. Enjoying your vacation?"
"You bet." he said with a grin. Rem smiled politely.
Takara opened her mouth to speak. "So what brings you a-" There was a knock at the door.
Kioshi was being chased by Kai (who weilded her blade again) at that moment & was about to jump in front of the the door just as the knob started to turn. He knew full well if he did not do something quick Kakairo would not have enough time to stop herself & would reveal her demon wings to whoever was coming in. The Committee would definatly have her head for it. The demoness was already on a short thread with a noose around her neck to begin with.
In one swift motion, he jumped backwards & snatched Kakairo around the waist. Before Kai knew it, her back was against Kioshi. His left arm put her in a bear hug that pinned her wings & arms to her side. His right hand covered her mouth. The angel himself was plastered against the wall.
Sotaru fell like a rock fom the ceiling just as the door opened & the manager walked in. "Miss. Takara?"
Takara looked at him. "Yes?" she said as innocently & sweetly as possible. The tension was high in the room. If the manager got one glimpse of anything abnormal on one of the Arena Members they would be in huge trouble. They tried not to let their vision travel to Kioshi & Kai, in case it attracted attention to them.
"We...um...well..." his eyes were lingering over the group. Takara & Jack were the only normal looking ones. Rem was decked in armour still; Zaira doned a ninjutsu garmet; Sotaru (who had jumped to his feet a second after crashing to the ground) looked even more like a ninja withi his face masked; & aergan was... well... 12 feet. The poor guy would stick out anywhere.
While the manager was soaking in this scene, Kai got a michievious glint in her eyes. Rem noticed this & groaned inwardly. ||Don't Kai... whatever it is don't...||
The demoness either didn't hear her message or ignored it, because she wiggled her mouth free from Kio's hand & sank her canines inot his hand. Kioshi jumped & Kakairo felt him quiver as he swallowed a yelp. His eyes grew wide once again as her grinded his teeth. They were mere feet from the hallway that lead to the door. If the manager heard them & decided to walk a few steps forward, he'd see a perfect view of them & Kakairo's wings. Kioshi dared not moved. Kakairo was very much enjoying this revenge.
The manager had recovered from the shock of the attire the others dressed in. "We got some complaints about some disturbances from his floor." he said politely. "I'm sorry to say if this continues then we will be forced to kick you out."
"Ok. I'm sorry. we will keep it down."
The manager nodded & walked out. Only a few seconds after they heard the door click shut did Kioshi push Kai away. "Ow....ow....ow....ow....ow!"
"You moron! You almost got caught!" Taronis shouted at her.
Kakairo threw him a death glare but didn't care otherwise. She felt they were even. She made Kioshi worry as much as he made them worry about his well-being. Kioshi was rubbing his hand where red dents of her teeth appeared on his skin.
"So you found me." He said.
Kakairo nodded.
"You aren't getting away very easily, Kioku-chuu." Rem stated cutely.
Kioshi chuckled. "No, I suppose not."
Kai was on a different mind set now & was observing her surroundings. "A lot has changed since I was last here."
Kio nodded. "I bet."
"Wait... when were you last here?" Jack asked.
"A few hundred years." stated everyone unanimously.
Takara whistled. "You have some catching up to do."
Kakairo sweatdropped. "Yeah... I know..."
((Ok. That's long enough. I'll put more up later.))
