The Kirihaya's told the boy, "You should still stay around, it's dangerous out" before operating on the young fox girl. Considering that the girl was not healing well, they looked for the wound in her back. "We are going to put you to sleep okay? Just relax and breath in." They told the girl, putting on a mask for the girl, to put her to sleep. Once she was asleep, they started to operate, opening the wound and tweezing out the Varanium shrapnel in her back, cleaning the wound, and treating the area with some antibiotics, before stitching her up and taking off her gas mask.

"Well that should do. She should heal now."

Yuki ran and ran, going around corners and preparing to deflect bullets. From time to time, a stray bullet scrapped her, cracking part of her shell/skin. She continued, however, to run. Inside of her body, chemicals stored, building up. She was mixing a low boiling point, highly potent sleeping gas, to release all around.

Finally, after having been on the run for probably an hour or so, she stopped, her back opening up, and releasing all of the chemical she had been storing. As it boiled off, it dispersed and looked invisible and scentless. As the mob came rushing towards her, they started to feel weary and started to fall asleep on the streets. It wasn't long for all of them to start sleeping.

"Well, I should head home" the girl hidden by her ninja-like clothes thought to herself, running off, departing from the city and heading towards her home. "I'll be back soon." she spoke into the ear piece, indicating that she was on her way home.

Mai was taken inside and immediately placed onto the opperating bed. At this point she felt like everything was gonna be alright. But an opperation was still sounding quite scary. She felt a numb feeling at the place where the wound was at. It didn't expand but the feeling of it annoyed her. Mai lifted her back a little when she was lying on the opperation bed to see if it would go away but it wouldn't. She even went as far as to move herself on the other side of her body so the wound wouldn't touch anything. The strange man placed himself down next to the opperation bed and seemed to have focused on the girl. Maybe he was really concerned about her. She heard the two parents of Yuki saying that they would put her to sleep but she caught in deep thoughts while staring at the boy. The gas mask was put on her face and before she could even struggle her eyes already closed.

10 minutes after the opperation she woke up again. And carefully looked around before she did anything. The wound already hurted less and already seemed to have healed for the most part. As she looked around some more she waa caught off guard by the boy still sitting on the same spot. She dashed as quickly as possible onto her legs and jumped back behind the bed. The sudden movement resulted in her back hurting again. She grabbed with both her hands onto the hurted spot and was forced down onto one of her knees by the pain. She yet still stared at the boy with a sharp glance and was ready to take him on.

Angelo had his eyes closed just resting his eyes for a little while until he heard her dash away from him and he sighed softly not bothering to look at her since he could feel she had a killing intent ready to strike him "are you going to jump every time you see me or only after you had an operation done on you?" Angelo asked her not really caring he just didn't want her to get anymore hurt then she already was so obviously he was going to make sure she healed properly so why did she jump to a conclusion that Angelo was going to hurt her after all he did just to make sure she stayed alive...

The two moved smoothly together, as one, and found their way to staggering soliders, who had no hope against them as the two moved, almost seeming to read each others minds, as they attacked, like a pack. Together, they took down every last solider, and rounded up any lost, wandering souls, taking them back to safety. Hope and Solias didn't seem to tire, but rather just kept on going, searching and returning when all seemed well, orr at least not hell on earth as it had been.

When they made their way back, both had their ears peeled, flickering at the slightest noise, and eyes piercing the darkness, soon returning to the village, where they maintained a guard position, ready to attack if need be.

Yuki left the city, making her way through the forest. After making good distance, she stopped and turned around, scouting to see if there were any followers. So far it seemed like the answer was no. Continuing forward, she made it into the area where her javelin had landed, filled with a sleeping gas. Yanking it out of the ground, she checked the group for weapons and other devices to remove and if any were conscious.

Yuki was fine in the area because she had built up a resistance to most of the chemicals her body could produce. Lifting up the bodies, she placed them near the city edge, before starting to return home. Soon, she had reached home, seeing the twins and the other children they had brought with them to the village. "Thank you, you too. They had initiated this plan earlier than expected, leaving us unprepared to react. I know you declined the offer to stay, but stay the night and rest. There is actually something else, which we might need your help with." Yuki curtly thanked the twins. "I'll show the other children where they can bunk for the night. Would you mind waiting with my parents?"

The Kirihaya's told the girl, "Calm down little one. This boy brought you to us, and we helped you recover. Your body is still weak, so just rest up for a bit." They then turned to the lad "She's probably still in shock over everything that has happened. So you shouldn't take it to heart."

Hope really didn't want to stay here. She wanted to get back to the city and check on other kids, make sure they hadn't been caught. Or if they had, get them back, but Solias, the more reasonable one, nodded, So Hope just sighed and didn't say anything, as Solias said "If you would like, we can have a look at defenses" he said, as Hope grumbled to herself. Really, Hope was just worried about the kids back at the city. They had done their best, she knew, but...she knew some wouldn't have made it out.

Mai growled at him ready to strik anytime he would make a move and heard about that she was operated. Mai angled her head and removed the clothing that was in front of her wound. She angled her head lightly and calmed down a little. Mai listened to the guy that had helped her and quietly sat down on the opposite side of the room. She kept her eyes pointed at him while she heard the parents of Yuki also say that she had to take it easy. Mai looked down at the ground and stayed quiet. She wrapped her tail around her and started brushing it to waste some of het time. The feeling of it being brushed felt nice she began to smile a little while she had her full attention on her tail and mutterer just slightly at the man "Thank you for brining me here..."

no need to thank me I just didn't want your death on my conscious. So try not to get that bad again Angelo told her as he sighed getting up getting ready to leave. Now that she was okay their was nothing keeping here. Angelo still needed to find a few more shots before he could head back to his rooftop and just survive like he always did...
