Part 3

[The Legendary Ice Dragon]

"Ok, ill just use my flash step and get us to the mountain in an flash" Ice said

[Noble 6]

Nexus stepped backwards, and a black barrier appeared before him. The trio bounced off of it.
Nexus floated into the air.
"You are my lords guests. As such, I shall not attack you. However, please remove the foolish notion that you can kill me. My Lord Yanaki, is the only one who has the privlige." he scoffed as he stared down at the woman and her wolves.

[CrystalPrison]

Akiki grabbed her sword by the blade, hooked the handle on the top of the shield and using the momentum from rebounding off the shield, aimed a downward slash at Nexus. The demons words scarcely registered, and even had she cared about them, they wouldn't have mattered. What was Yanaki on if he encouraged kidnapping Kiri?
----------------

"But they aren't at the mountain," Sira reminded Ice, "They're looking for their God, Shukaku. And I wouldn't suggest looking for them like that, because we don't know where Cosmos took them, as that depends on what the moon God said to them. It'll be easiest if we stick together and use our combined abilities to comb the area in the general direction they were headed."

[Noble 6]

Nexus brought his ARM up and caught the blade in his armored hand.
"My lord please....I won't hurt her, but..." he said floating higher. She dangled now twenty feet in the air.

[Inkshade]

Yanaki growls "NEXUS!" he leaps into the air and grabs Akiki, and strikes Nexsus down. He holds Akiki very firmly, so she wouldn't run off on him again. he looms over Nexus "I don't care if she tries to kill you. You don't touch her! You are not to lay a hand on her. NOT A FINGER YOU HEAR ME?!" he shouts, his demonic voice echoing through the forest. he strokes Akiki's cheek "Don't do that Ki...I need to watch you..." he says. he looks back at Nexus "We're going home!" he snaps.

[Noble 6]

Nexus landed on his feet,
"Of course my lord. Tis why I only held her blade." He said opening a portal to Shiruba-kaze's lair.
"After you my lord." He said carrying Kiri like a small child.

[Inkshade]

"Damn right." Yanaki says and steps through. the secod he gets through to the other side he sniffs the air "hmmm, I smell humans...lots. an army?"

[The Legendary Ice Dragon]

"I see your point, but im sure she would be closer to the mountain than to where we are right?" ice replied

[CrystalPrison]

Sayuki shrugged minutely, leaning against a tree. "Cosmos is the God of the Universe, there's no guarantee he's anywhere near the mountain." He paused, "Though there is a way to find out, if the necklaces Yuki gave us work..." He pointed out, gesturing to the necklaces Ice and Sira wore.
------------

Akiki had smirked when Nexus had gotten taken down, taking a decent amount of satisfaction from it. The good news was, of course, that also meant Yanaki had enough of himself left to get pissed when she was threatened, meaning she could get the job done. Her smirk faded though, as she was pulled through the portal at Yanaki's side. Human army? The fuck are we? What the damn hell did that bastard do to Kiri? Where's Greston?

Jiro and Kenji exchanged a look as they made their way through the portal, knowing that leaving Yanaki and Akiki would end badly.

[aura]

"Well...." Shiruba-kaze spoke. "I see you are back with...guests...and yes a human army masses just outside my domain..." Shiruba told Nexus and Yanaki.

"What has happened while you were gone? I am quite interested in these...guests." he said.

[Inkshade]

Yanaki smiles "I found my lady!" he pats Akiki's shoulder "Yup, now I can keep her safe." he looks back at the wolves "Eh, boys, not eating the crows. or the little bear-boy. I like him." he says leading Akiki into the lair "Well, have fun with your humans uncle, I'm going to spend time with Akiki."

[CrystalPrison]

Akiki moved with Yanaki, looking around carefully and memorizing each detail possible. She hadn't allowed herself to even flinch at the sight of Shirba, though she knew just who he was from Yanaki's tales. She did however frown at where Nexus held Kiri, but she didn't comment just yet. There was no way to help the other girl at the moment without killing them both.

Kenji growled quietly at Nexus and Jiro eyed the crows warily as they walked.

[Noble 6]

Nexus dropped kiri, and a small bolt of electricity woke her up.
"Get up blessed. Meet your betters." He said to her.

[Isis]

Kiri jumped, a small cry of shock and pain escaping her lips. "Wha--?" She looked up at Nexus, and backed a foot or two away from him. She then looked around the lair, her eyes resting on Shiruba and the others. "Where am I? What...who are you?" she asked. "Where's Greston?"

[CrystalPrison]

Akiki stopped and turned at the sound of Kiri waking, one hand resting on the hilt of her sword. It was half instinct, and half because she expected an attack. When she turned, Kenji met her gaze and whined once, and the girl fought back a sigh, grateful she'd learned to understand what the wolves meant. Great...Malazahar was here...which means he's alive...
