Chapter 27a
Within the orb, its as if time has frozen. Not a thing moves except, Nara, Shin, Sessaru, and Ta. There is also no wind or sound from anything.

Nara closes his book and vanishes with the others to just outside of the orb.

"This should be interesting from here on out." Nara whispers as Ashen comes running out of the orb.

"Nice of you to join us." Sessaru says.

"What's going on?" Ashen asks.

"A specialty of Nara's. You have heard of the Lost City of Atlantis?" Shin replies.

"Yeah why?" Ashen says.

"Just watch." Ta says.

Without a sound the orb fades away and nothing is left but a large crater.

"Palatine was the size of two Chicagos and it's suburbs. Where did it go?" Ashen asks as he creeps towards the edge.

The crater is an abyss descending nearly 15 miles straight down.

"Nobody knows." Ta says.

Nara turns and walks away as the sound finally returns.

"Nara?" Shin says.

Nara ignores him and continues to walk at a brisk pace.

"This is not a good sign." Shin says.

From out of nowhere there is a thunderously loud roar and then an incredibly powerful blast of wind that sends, Ta, Sessaru, Ashen, and Shin twisting through the air.

Nara to is sent flying but is more riding the blast of wind on his book.

The wind dies down and Nara lands safely with book in hand and continues his brisk walk.

Sessaru lands in a tree. Ta smashes into the side of a bridge support. Ashen clips the bottom part of the bridge with his face and lands on the back of his neck. Shin crashes through the side of someone's brick house.

They all meet up and look at one another.

Nara arrives back at Ashen's house and is greeted by Koji.

"I apologize for the length of time it took to get what you requested. I did get it and it is set up in the backyard." Koji says.

"Good. Take some time off. You and your men did well. I'll contact you if I need anything." Nara says and sends Koji on his way.

The others catch up and look at Nara who is smiling.

"Oh.... Shit." Shin says.

"He has something up his sleeve." Ta says backing away.

"Relax. I'm perfectly fine. Let's greet our familiars shall we?" Nara says and kicks open the doors.

"My doors." Ashen says.

"Welcome home, Milord." Kareen, Aurora, Lust, and Silmeria say in unison.

After a brief reception, Nara excuses himself and heads to the basement.

Raijin looks at him.

"What do you want?" Raijin asks.

"I want to see what you can do when you're fully healed against against me." Nara says and opens his book.

He mutters something and Raijin's wounds heal completely.

"Amazing." Raijin says looking himself over.

"It is only a temporary heal. It only lasts about two to three days. By then you'll be dead so it won't matter." Nara says and leads him to the backyard.

"I doubt that. You are the same class of demon as I am. It's you who will be dead after this fight." Raijin says drawing his scalpels.

"It seems that you enjoy picking on the weak and torturing them without mercy. Like what you did to Jessica and what you were doing to Kareen. Both of which are well beneath you in rankings." Nara says.

"I find it exhilarating to hear a woman scream from the excruciating pain that I am causing her." Raijin says with a crazed look in his eyes.

Kareen looks out the back window and calls the others over.

All of them run out onto the back porch.

"Now that the audience is here we may begin." Nara says and snaps his fingers.

Koji appears next to Nara.

"Yes milord." Koji says and walks over to a curtain that blocks the hot spring from the rest of the world.

"Let's find out how well you fight while your little sister is being violated. The faster you beat me the faster you can save her." Nara says and the curtain drops revealing a beautiful young woman tied up to a table with a gag in her mouth.

"Sister!" Raijin shouts and takes a step towards her.

"You go towards her while I still draw breath and she dies before you can get to her." Nara says.

"That twisted bastard!" Ta says and is about to lunge at Nara.

"You can do what you want after this fight." Nara says shooting Ta a look.

"You will pay for this." Raijin growls.

"Heh heh heh. I doubt it. It does seem different now that a woman you care for is being made to scream by several large men." Nara says and puts his hands behind his back.

Raijin lunges forward with blinding speeds and nearly hits Nara.

"I forgot to mention this but..." Nara says then leans in and whispers, "I. Have. My. Body. Back."

Raijin's eyes widen and his pupils shrink to almost nothing. Nara removes his fist from Raijin's diaphragm and he drops to the ground coughing.

Suddenly the woman starts screaming "No!" as the sounds of cloth being torn fills Raijin's ears.

"This is sick. Nara has crossed the line." Ashen says.

Raijin rises with an uppercut and connects with Nara's jaw. Nara spits out a tooth and some blood.

"Better hurry. She is almost out of clothes." Nara says and ducks and dodges Raijin's flurry of punches and kicks.

"It has been so long since I have seen him this determined." Kareen says to herself.

"BROTHER!!! HELP ME!!! NO!!!! NOT THERE!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!" The woman screams as tears roll down her cheeks.

"Seems she got the gag out. Maybe they can gag her with something else." Nara says.

"You must be enjoying this. You're body is certainly reacting to it." One of the men says.

"You scum will pay for this as well." Raijin says glancing over at them and sees the fear in her eyes.

Nara delivers a brutal elbow to his jaw and dislocates it.

"Enough talk. Come at me. I may just have a turn with her myself." Nara says and hits him with a right hook.

The blows from these hits sound like large fireworks exploding.

Raijin reconnects his jaw and lunges once again at Nara. This time Nara monkey flips him and he lands near his sister. Anger and rage fills him as he sees what is happening to his little sister.

"Can't you smell her blood from here? (Sniffs.) She won't be able to walk for at least a month after this and here you are laying down when you should be protecting something that sweet." Nara says crouching down next to him.

"Perhaps you should check again?" Raijin says.

Nara looks and sees the three men drop, each with a scalpel in the head.

Raijin takes the opportunity and jams a half dozen scalpels into Nara's throat and slices forward out his chin.

Nara slumps over and Raijin stands up.

"Pathetic." Raijin says and turns towards his sister.

The air grows denser and Nara's hand grabs Raijin's shoulder. He squeezes and Raijin drops to his knees in pain.

"I still draw breath." Is all Nara says as his wounds heal and he flings Raijin across the yard and into a cement pillar.

Raijin stands and is met by a hand to the throat. He is slammed against the cement pillar before Nara drags him back to his sister who is once again being violated by even more men.

"Look at her. The pain on her face as she is ravaged by these men will be the last thing you will see." Nara says and releases Raijin.

Before Raijin can say anything, Nara violently grabs his face like a bowling ball. One finger in each eye and his thumb into his mouth and up through the roof of his mouth.

Raijin falls to his knees and Nara crouches down.

"Unlike you, I took no pleasure from this. I can make a woman scream without torturing them. Listen closely. Hear that dripping sound? That's your sister's womb being filled by these humans' seed." Nara says and Raijin attempts to attack but doesn't even come close.

Nara stands which makes Raijin stand.

"Look at your brother. This is what he was doing when he was gone." Nara says and rips Raijin's face and the front part of his skull right off. Blood splatters all over his sister, Koji, the men, and Nara.

Raijin's lifeless corpse falls to the ground and bleeds out as it convulses.

Ta is the first to rush over and attack Nara.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Doing that to a poor woman?" Ta says punching the hell out of Nara.

"I'm fine." The woman says.

"What the hell is going on?" Sessaru asks.

"Allow me to explain. I am Yuna. I am one of Koji's scouts and Raijin's sister. I have been trying to figure out a way to kill him for some time now. He did this sort of thing to our older sister and I swore revenge. Thanks to Lord Nara, I was able to avenge her." Yuna explains.

"What about all of these men?" Lust asks.

"They are just illusions. Shikigami." Yuna says and the men pop and small paper cut outs float down before vanishing.

"Nara. Was this your plan the entire time?" Kareen asks.

Nara simply smiles and says nothing.

"This has been fun and all but I am going to bed." Ashen says and goes back inside.

Soon everyone heads off to bed.

*****************************

A few days pass and Ashen, Nara, Shin, Sessaru, and Ta are still sleeping.

Aurora and Lust are sitting in the living room looking at the newspaper when Amelia walks in with Steven.

"You have to see this." Amelia says turning on the TV.

"These are aerial shots above what used to be Palatine. Investigators are baffled as well as scientists, as to what happened to this thriving metropolis. We can confirm that it was not caused by any known bomb or weapon. Stay tuned, we will continue with this story after the break." The reporter says and Amelia turns towards Lust and Aurora.

"Care to explain?" Amelia asks.

"Don't look at us. We haven't left here for a few days now." Lust says looking at an ad.

"As far as we can tell so far this didn't happen last night. There is evidence that it happened within the last week." The scientist says on TV.

"There have been no reports of this city missing till this morning. Which raises the question, how could something like this go unnoticed for so long?" The reporter says.

"Check this out. This looks like fun." Aurora says and hands a flyer to Lust.

Lust looks it over and shoves it in Amelia's face.

"Explain." She says.

Amelia leans back so she can see the flyer.

"Its an ad for the new swim wear this company is selling." Amelia says.

"I see. So what are these people doing?" Lust asks.

"They are at a beach in the swim wear." Amelia says.

"Is this beach near by?" Lust asks.

"There is a very big one south of here. Its about the best one I can think of. Why?" Amelia says.

"Kareen. Silmeria. Come here." Aurora says.

The four of them huddle up and whisper to one another.

"Something has happened around here and I am going to get to the bottom of it." Amelia says.

*****************************

Kogamaru walks across the beach with a contented smile on his face.

He sits down next to the others and sighs.

"Again? What is that? 5?" Shear asks.

"Actually 7. Her two friends joined in. I have to say these human women are remarkable. No wonder their species has exploded in numbers." Kogamaru says.

"I agree. If I was a human I would be dead from exhaustion right now." Shingi says.

"Yep." Shear says.

"Bastards." Roswell says with his face all swollen up.

"Cheer up. I'm sure those bee stings will go down soon." Kogamaru says trying to hold his laughter in.

"Mommy! Look at that poor whale. I think its dying." A little girl says as she points at Roswell.

The others can't hold it in and explode with laughter.

*****************************

"Kyo, this is a major problem. When the Lords get back they will kill us." One lieutenant says.

"Well, they will kill those that haven't already taken their own lives." Kyo says.

"Goodbye cruel world." One lieutenant says and swan dives off the roof. He lands right on the other lieutenant next to Kyo.

"What have I done?" Kyo says.

The entire research area is trashed as well as the monitor room and pretty much everywhere.

*****************************

Finally, Ashen is the first to wake.

"Damn, I have got to pee." He says and sprints to the bathroom.

As he is relieving himself, a strange sense overcomes him.

He turns his head back and sees Amelia sitting in the bath.

"Watch were you point that." She says and decks him.

He awakens several hours later with a broom and bucket next to him.

"You alive?" Steven asks helping him to his feet.

"Where am I?" Ashen asks.

"In the hallway outside the bathroom. Amelia told me what happened and has asked me to tell you that you are to scrub every square inch of the bathroom." Steven says.

Sessaru stumbles downstairs and and bumps into Amelia.

"Sorry." He says in a daze.

"Its alright. Just watch where you are going." Amelia says and heads for the living room.

Steven walks past Amelia who has a look of confusion on her face.

"I'll be back soon. Have to go get some more cleaning supplies." Steven says and Amelia nods.

She stops dead in her tracks and turns around.

"Sessaru?" She says.

"Yeah..." Sessaru says yawning.

"Then that means you are out of Ashen's body?" Amelia says.

Sessaru ignores her and continues to the kitchen.

Shin is the next to awaken and comes downstairs completely showered and dressed.

Ta stumbles downstairs right behind Shin and hits the wall.

"Perhaps you should open your eyes before coming downstairs." Shin says as Ta gets up.

"I would of except my eyes are glued shut." Ta says pointing to his eyes which are heavily caked with sleep.

Shin slices it with his katana and it comes off.

"Thanks. I thought I was blind for a minute there." Ta says wiping away the rest.

*****************************

Downtown, Silmeria, Kareen, Lust, and Aurora reach the shopping center.

They find the store they are looking for and head inside.

"Think we should of brought Amelia with us?" Silmeria asks.

"Nope." Lust says, "We can figure this out on our own."

"How may I help you?" The sales lady asks.

"We are here for swim wear." Kareen says.

"I see. Right this way." The sales lady says and leads them to the large swim wear section.

"If you have any questions just ask." The sales lady says.

The four of them split up and tear through the swimsuits looking for that one special suit.

Steven walks past the store and sees several men pressed against the window with drool dripping from their mouths and blood gushing from their noses. He looks through the window and sees the four of them standing in their underwear. Blood shoots from his nose as he rushes inside.

"You can't change out here. You change in there." Steven says pointing to the changing rooms.

"Oh." Lust says.

"Since you're here you get to help us pick out our swimsuits." Silmeria says.

"Huh? Why not have your lords do that?" Steven says nervously.

"Cause they are still resting at home." Kareen says.

Steven takes a seat outside the dressing rooms and sighs.

"This is going to be bad." Steven says.

*****************************

Later that night, they return with Steven who is very pale and shivering uncontrollably.

"Steven! What happened?" Amelia says rushing to his side.

"He helped us with our swimsuits." Lust says holding her bag up.

"What?" Amelia says coldly and drops Steven.

"We needed help and he happened to be passing by." Kareen explains.

Aurora sets down the bag of cleaning supplies and the four women head upstairs to their room.

"You all remember the plan?" Silmeria asks.

The other three nod and split up.

Steven passes out and Amelia gets an idea.

*****************************

"You guys hear about that city just vanishing mysteriously like that a few days ago?" Kogamaru asks.

"I heard about. You think its something to do with them?" Shear asks.

"It couldn't be. We would of been notified." Shingi says.

They all sit back on their beach chairs and watch Roswell get turned down again.

"I never get tired of seeing him fail." Shingi says.

"Neither do I." Shear says sipping his fruity drink from a coconut.
*****************************

The next morning as the lords make their way downstairs, they are greeted by their familiars.

"Good morning, milord." They say together.

"Morning." They reply and look at each other.

As Ta pours himself a bowl of cereal a flyer for the beach comes out.

"That's odd. Normally there is a small toy in here." He says and looks in the box. He pulls out the small toy car and hands it to Sessaru.

Shin picks up his bowl of miso and sees the same ad under his bowl. Then another in his rice and one last one under his cooked fish.

Sessaru opens his bread and pulls out nearly a dozen of the ads.

"I think they are telling us something." Sessaru says unwrapping the ad from each individual piece of bread.

*****************************

Kareen heads upstairs to Nara's room and silently slips in.

She bites her lip as she glides across the dark room and stops next to Nara's bed where she takes a deep breath before climbing into Nara's bed.

The entire bed is empty and Kareen sits up.

"Where the hell is he sleeping now?" She asks.

A low growl is heard followed by the smacking of lips.

She follows the sound and finds a large pile of fur in the corner.

Kareen shakes her head and opens a window which slams shut.

"What do you want?" Nara says from deep underneath the fur.

"Milord, it is time to get up. The others have all awakened. We are just waiting for you." Kareen says kneeling next to the fur.

"That's nice. Just five more days." Nara says and rolls over.

"Milord, forgive me." Kareen says and leaves.

She returns a few minutes later with a large bucket.

"Last chance." Kareen says before ripping the fur back and finding nothing.

"Ice water? You would really dump that on your lord?" Nara says, " I may have to punish you for this." Nara whispers into her ear.

Kareen stiffens up as Nara places his hand on her stomach and ever so slowly moves it in a circle. As she is enjoying his touch, Nara drops a single ice cube down her back.

"COLD!!!" She shouts and drops the bucket.

Nara catches it and quickly leaves as Kareen tries to get the ice cube out.

*****************************

"Nara's up." Shin says.

*****************************

Amelia and Steven walk through the front door and Ashen just enters the kitchen.

"ASHEN!!" Amelia shouts.

"What?" He says from the kitchen.

"Good you are up." Amelia says.

"Why?" Ashen says drinking some milk.

"You are going with me to help pick out my swimsuit." Amelia says and Steven looks at her shocked.

"You helped them. So he is going to help me." Amelia says.

Ashen spits the milk out all over Ta.

"Excuse me?" Ashen says as Ta stands there dripping with milk.

"You heard me. Get ready. I want to go before all the good ones are gone." Amelia says.

*****************************

Nara steps out of the bath and grabs his towel which crinkles like a newspaper.

He looks at it and sees his towel covered with beach ads. He raises an eyebrow and tears them off before finishing drying off.

As he walks out, Ashen sprints in and slams the door shut. Nara continues to walk not realizing that his towel has been caught in the door.

Amelia screams and buries her face into Steven's chest.

"What is your problem?" Nara asks making his way down the stairs.

"Perhaps you should get dressed." Steven says.

Nara looks down and nods. He heads back upstairs and returns wearing a pair of black hakama pants.

While he eats he feels something on his horns. Shin looks at him and grabs something off his horn.

"Its another beach ad." Shin says.

"I think they want to go to the beach." Sessaru says playing with the small toy Ta gave him.

"Steven. Where is this beach?" Nara asks.

"South of here. A few hours by car." Steven replies before the door slams shut.

"Kareen, please get the others and come here." Nara says.

They scramble into the kitchen.

"Yes?" They all say at once.

"Pack your bags we are going to this beach." Nara says tapping the flyer.

"Ready!" They say and each of them produces a bag.

"That was as if they have had this planned." Ta says.

Shin nods and pulls out another ad from his rice.

****************************

Ashen follows Amelia around with his stomach twisting inside him.

"(What should I say? This is our first date. Well, technically its not but who cares. I get to be the first to see her body in a swimsuit.)" Ashen says to himself.

They go into a store and Ashen sits down while Amelia grabs a few suits and heads for the changing room.

"Which one do you think Steven would like better?" Amelia asks stepping out in a sunflower bikini.

Ashen turns red and sets her bag on his lap.

"Do you think it shows off my butt too much?" She asks turning around and bending a bit.

Ashen shakes his head violently. She goes back into the dressing room. Ashen's nose explodes with blood and the sales lady jams several cotton balls up his nose. A cleaning crew comes from the back and cleans everything up.

"This is a bit embarrassing so please don't laugh." Amelia says sheepishly and opens the curtain and before it can register in Ashen's mind she shuts it.

"Nevermind." She says and quickly changes back to her normal clothes.

*****************************

Shingi walks by this time with a set of twins under his arms.

"Later." He says.

Roswell is about to say something but Shear pepper sprays him while reading a book.

"AHHHHH!!!!" Roswell screams and runs off.

"What you reading?" Kogamaru asks.

"The Kama Sutra." Shear replies.

"Good book. I am only a few positions away from completing all of them." Kogamaru says.

Roswell rinses the pepper spray out and sees another woman down the beach. He struts over and starts talking to her. To his surprise she talks back to him without screaming and running off.

After several moments, Koji walks up and smiles at her.

"Excuse me." Koji says.

"Isn't that..." Shear says looking up from his book.

"I believe it is." Kogamaru says.

"Bet you Roswell doesn't recognize him." Shear says.

"Loser has to spend all day tomorrow watching the stuff." Kogamaru says.

"Deal." Shear says.

"I couldn't help but noticing you were reading the same book as me." Koji says holding up the same book as the woman.

"Isn't it a great read. I love this book." The woman says holding up the book.

"It is a great read. I am only halfway through it." Koji replies.

She invites Koji to sit next to her and Roswell taps Koji on the shoulder.

"Pardon me. What do you think you are doing?" Roswell asks.

"Discussing this book with this charming young woman." Koji replies.

"I was here first." Roswell says.

"However, your intentions are not pure. You are only looking to sleep with her. I am not." Koji says.

Roswell stands there speechless as Koji and the woman walk off together.

"Damn." Kogamaru says.

*****************************

On the train to the beach, Nara and everyone else sits and watches everything go by.

"Why couldn't we of just taken a car down there?" Sessaru asks.

"None of us can drive." Steven replies.

"Oh. This is soooo slow." Sessaru says.

That evening they finally arrive at the hotel.

Steven takes care of the check in while the others bring in the luggage. Steven leads the way to the rooms and gets everyone into their rooms. Its Nara and Kareen in one room, Sessaru and Silmeria in another, Ta and Lust, then Shin and Aurora, Ashen, and finally Steven and Amelia. Once they are situated, they all head down to the buffet.

"Tomorrow we will all be sunning ourselves on the beach. I can't wait." Lust says.

"What about school? Shouldn't we be calling in or something?" Amelia asks.

"Taken care of. The principal is a fellow demon and is fully aware of the situation. He has it all covered." Nara says biting into a crab.

*****************************

As the sun rises, Amelia wakes up and nudges Steven.

"Time to get up." She says and kisses him.

In the room next to theirs, Ashen stares at the ceiling wide awake.

"I couldn't of gotten a different room? I can hear every sound they make." Ashen says.

*****************************

"So this is the beach?" Lust says as they all walk they beach together to find a spot.

Each of the familiars is wearing a hotel bath robe. Ashen finds a spot and helps Steven set everything up.

"Now what?" Ta asks.

"Just relax. Swim. Play a game. Just have fun." Amelia explains.

Nara falls straight back and puts his arms behind his head as he lays in the sand.

"This is perfect." He says and is about to close his eyes.

Kareen and the other three stand before them and remove their robes.

Each of them is wearing a skimpy swimsuit that leaves very little to the imagination. Nara's eyes nearly bulge from his head as he looks Kareen over.

Kareen stands a mere two feet shorter then Nara at 5 and a half feet tall. She has long brown hair that stops at her curvacious hips. Her long lean legs match the rest of her lean muscular body. Over her right shoulder and across her back is a series of intricate tribal tattoos that closely resembles the ones Nara has all over his body.

Lust is the tallest of the four women at an even 6 foot. She has the largest breasts and best curves with a nicely tanned body. She definitely lives up to her name. Her hair is a beautiful deep crimson and just about as long as Kareen's, maybe a couple inches shorter. It is however styled differently and her bangs cover her left eye as well as a tiny tiger paw print tattoo near her eye.

Silmeria is the bolder and more outspoken of the group. She is about the same height as Kareen an her dark blue hair is in a long braid that comes down to the center of her butt. On her upper left arm is a dragon tattoo that goes around her entire upper arm a couple times.

Aurora is the smallest and frailest looking of the bunch. She is the same height as Shin and has long black straight hair. She looks like a traditional Japanese beauty. She also has small breasts and pale skin. On the inside of her upper right arm is a small tattoo of a katana.


Ta coughs and can't take his eyes off of Lust, who is living up to her name.

A small amount of blood runs from Sessaru's nose as Silmeria bends to put her robe down.

Shin is the only one who doesn't make an obvious reaction.

Even Ashen and Steven stare with blood pouring from their noses.

Amelia clenches her fist and storms off.

"This means war." She says and heads back to the hotel.

She returns in a robe and stands in front of Steven. She takes it off and is in a similar suit as they others just not as skimpy.

Ashen covers his lap with a towel before he slouches forward unconscious from loss of blood. Steven is at a loss for words at the sight of Amelia in her bikini.

"What do you think?" Kareen asks.

Nara lays there speechless and stares at her blankly. Ta and Sessaru give similar responses.

"That is a nice outfit." Shin says and lays down.

"Thank you milord." Aurora says kneeling and placing Shin's head across her lap.

"I take it you approve of these then?" Lust says.

Across the beach blood sprays high into the air.

*****************************

"Something must be going on over there." Shingi says.

"Wonder what?" Shear replies.

"This sucks. I have to sit here all day with lard ass." Kogamaru complains.

"That's what you get for putting any faith into thinking he is capable of anything that requires thinking." Shear says.

*****************************

"What should we do?" Kareen asks sitting next to Nara.

"ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz" Nara replies sound asleep.

Kareen hangs her head, "Should of known." She says.

Nara's hand grabs her side and pulls her closer so her head is laying on his chest.

"This will have to do for now." She says.

Ta and Sessaru are the first two into the ocean. Lust and Silmeria follow closely behind them.


The four of them play in the surf while Aurora brushes Shin's hair out. While she is doing so, a large muscled guy in a tiny Speedo approaches them and throws sand in Shin's face.

"Can I help you?" Shin asks wiping the sand out of his face.

"Yeah, you can get away from my future girlfriend. She is too hot for a shrimp like you." The guy says.

"Is that so?" Shin says still laying down.

"Yeah. Now leave or you will get hurt." He says and flexes.

"I think not. You couldn't land a punch on me. Your skills are far too low to even be classified as a potential rival or threat. I suggest you leave now or you will regret this decision." Shin says.

"What? Are you high or something? You couldn't hurt a fly." He replies.

"You have been warned." Shin says and gets to his feet.

The muscled guy takes a boxer's stance and Shin stands there.

The guy throws a punch and Shin tilts his head at the last possible second so the guy misses. Shin returns with two quick jabs to the guy's right side of his exposed ribs.

"That's it?" The guy says with a laugh.

"I suggest you try not to laugh. You have a punctured lung." Shin says and lays back down.

The guy starts to struggle with his breathing and runs off.

*****************************

"Take good care of our stuff." Shingi says and walks off with a new girl. Shear follows close behind with a girl of his own.

"Bastards." Kogamaru says under his breath.

*****************************

Ta is wrestling with Sessaru in the surf when a Frisbee sails by them.

They follow it and Sessaru grabs it.

"Over here." A guy on the beach shouts.

Sessaru sees someone else throw one and mimics him but it goes nowhere. Silmeria and Lust giggle. Sessaru picks it up and tries again. This time it flies perfectly straight to the guy.

"Nice one. Wanna play?" He asks.

Ta and Sessaru run over and join in the game while Silmeria and Lust watch.

Nara is still sound asleep with Kareen on his chest.

"Miss you should ditch this loser. Its obvious he doesn't appreciate you and only has you around for your looks. I would put you on a pedestal and worship you." A guy says crouching next to Kareen.

"That's sweet but I'm not interested." Kareen says.

"Guess I'll have to take out your boyfriend then." The guy says and kicks Nara in the ribs.

"If you would like to keep that leg attached to your body I suggest you don't do that again." Nara says with his eyes closed.

"Is that so? Why don't you be a man and defend your woman?" He says.

"Rank 4. Tell you what, you beat that comatose guy first then we'll talk." Nara says shutting his eyes.

"To scared to do it yourself?" The guy asks.

"Nope. A rank 4 should know better then to mess with a class A." Nara replies.

The guy looks at Nara surprised.

"Ashen! Amelia is in trouble." Nara says and Ashen shoots up like a bullet.

"What!" Ashen says.

"Fight this guy first and I'll tell you more." Nara says pointing to the guy.

Steven and Amelia swimming around in the ocean.

Ashen gets up and looks the guy over.

"This should be easy." The guy says, "Don't go anywhere."

Ashen leaps onto the guy and starts wailing on him with both fists.

"Now what about Amelia?" Ashen says standing up.

"Oh, she is having fun with Steven. Perhaps you should find some nice girl around here." Nara says.

Shin walks off and returns several minutes later with two ice cream cones. He glances at Nara who has a large lump on his forehead. Ashen is walking off the other way mumbling to himself.

"Say, sweet thing you here with anyone?" A guy says running his hand along Aurora's arm.

"Milord." Aurora says.

"I'll be your lord for as long as you want." The guy says.

Shin hands Aurora one of the ice cream cones and clears his throat.

"Oh, thank you. Now run along little man. I am busy here." The guy says taking the ice cream cone from Shin.

"It would be in your best interest to leave now." Shin says.

"And what is a runt like you going to do?" The guy says kicking Shin in the chest.

Shin catches the guy's ankle and puts him in a ankle lock.

The guy screams in pain as Shin applies more pressure.

"I give. I'll leave." The guy says and Shin lets go.

The guy crawls away and Shin gets another ice cream cone.
