The group reached a clearing in the woods a good distance from Tophiopolis. Thick, moss covered trees towered above the clearing. A small pond on one side of the clearing had lots of small tracks in its muddy banks, hinting that the local wildlife used it as a watering hole. Grass and small bushes covered the rest of the clearing.
"I don't think we we followed, so we should be safe enough for now," Kazuki said. "Still we shouldn't waste time. "
"Let's go on ahead," Vira said to Megumi. "He said we weren't followed so it's fine to leave them here."
"You want to leave them lost in the woods?" Megumi replied. "I already made my decision. We need allies if we're ever going to take back Tophiopolis. I'm going to be in danger if we're ever going to take back Tophiopolis. You knew a day like this was coming, so why are you trying to back out of it now?"
"My main concern is for your safety," Vira replied. "This isn't exactly the most reliable bunch of allies either. You saw how strong that Nocturnain general was. They're all around that level of strength if not stronger. What do you expect these allies to do against the Nocturnian army?"
"We just need to find more allies then," Megumi replied. "They can help us search."
"If it's going to be this much trouble, we can go," Kazuki interrupted.
"That won't be necessary," Megumi insisted. "You said yourself you were looking for me for years. Do you really want to give up on that? Vira will come around eventually."

"You'll be okay," Grega said to Kaori. "we'll be back at the inn in no time."
Kaori nodded weakly while being assisted by the two kunoichi.

"Is it really ok?" Kazuki asked Megumi. "Vira seemed pretty upset about it."
"Perhaps, but I am the princess in the end," Megumi replied. "If I give an order, Vira will follow it. She might not like it, she may complain and say it's a mistake, but that's all. Though I don't normally act much like a princess, so it's rare that I give an order."
"I see," Kazuki replied. "Still, I wouldn't want for this to cause problems later on."
"Don't worry," Megumi said. "Vira will come around later on when she sees I'm right."
The group headed though the forest towards the inn as fast as they could in their condition. Before long they arrived. Megumi unlocked the door. "Ok , get the wounded into bed," Megumi directed.
"I'll go gather firewood," Vira said, still apparently angry.

Grega and Terka carried Kaori to the next room, on their way to one of the bedrooms.
Tari stopped at the door, hesitant to come in.

Kani and Yerth carried Liilii past Tari. "Now where should we put her?" Yerth asked.
"Any free bed is fine. We can sort things out later," Megumi directed.
"Got it," Yerth said. He and Kani took Liilii into one of the bedrooms and gently placed her on a bed.
Megumi then noticed Tari standing outside the door. She walked out with her and took Tari's hand. "What's the matter, Tari?" Meegumi asked.

"Oh uh..." Tari stuttered, lifting her broken gun up, letting it rest on her shoulder. "I was just thinking about something."
Grega and Terka turned and walked down the hall. "Here it is." Grega said, nodding to the room at the end of the hall. The two carried Kaori in.

Megumi noticed Tari's gun. "Oh, with everything that was going on, we forgot to look for another place that might be able to fix it," she commented. "I'm sorry, Tari."

"Eh, I don't need a stupid gun anyway..." Tari said, putting it down in the front desk.
Grega and Terka sat Kaori down on the bed. They both looked down at Kaori. "Owww, I don't know what to do now!" Grega complained. "Andi's the only one that knows enough first-aid for this..."

"Still..." Megumi replied. "You've had it for a long time, haven't you? Don't worry, we'll get it fixed somehow."
Kazuki walked over to the room Grega and Terka had taken Kaori and knocked on the door. "How is she?" he asked.

Tari sighed, walking in. "Let's not worry about that."
"Oh... come on in." Terka said to Kazuki.
Kaori looked up at Kazuki while she lay face down, the back of her outfit top darkened by blood.
