He got out and was about to go back to his room, however something was nagging at the back of his mind to follow her. So he did, despite his aching body protesting against it. However by the time he had gotten outside the hotel she was nowhere to be seen...no wait there she was. Cody could see the...flying cat accompanying her? He wasn't sure when she acquired said cat, when he talked to her yesterday she didn't have one. Then again, she might've had it the entire time just not with her at that time since yesterday was the first time he had met her. However when he caught up to her, he found that she was talking to a man who looked to be in his late twenties with....jade green hair? Or was it emerald? Teal? Cody wasn't the most knowledgeable when it came to specific shades of colors. It didn't take a rocket scientist to work out that he was obviously a friend of hers by the way they were talking, however Cody now didn't know what exactly to do. He felt it would be rude to interrupt their conversation....after all he wasn't too sure himself why he was here. After all James hadn't wanted him to leave the hotel now that he thought back to yesterday's events...

She looked around in a confused daze in the darkened room she found herself in...it seemed to be a regular hotel room, however the blinds were closed and thus darkening the room. She felt around in the hard to see, but not pitch black, room and felt something soft next to her. Looking down she found Shiro, dressed in a [url=https://cuteoutfitsgalore.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/flora-nikrooz-sleep-wear.jpg?w=500]white night gown[/url] still sound asleep, however she had a few bandages around her arms and legs, along with one across her chest under the gown. For a moment Manami was confused, then remembered that she and Shiro had gotten into some fights yesterday. She wasn't sure why her mind felt so foggy at the moment, then it suddenly clicked. After she and Shiro had lost to that slayer, Maxie had turned up....he must've cast his sleep magic on her. Looking down now, she was confused to find herself not in her usual outfit but instead an outfit identical to that of Shiro. She also had some bandages across her stomach and left leg from where Hunter had cut her yesterday. "[color=f9ad81]So you're awake? Good. Maxie will return shortly with some breakfast.[/color]" Manami was startled by the voice which now spoke out as [url=http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp316/Sonnacchia/Anime%20girls%20and%20boys/Anime-Women-43410.jpg]Jane Firestorm[/url] stood up from a nearby seat. Oh Maxie did mention something about his sister being here, didn't he? "[color=00aeef]Oh? That's rather bold of him, especially considering he is the most wanted member of our guild.[/color]" Manami replied in an amused tone, ignoring the glare she received from Jane in reply. "[color=f9ad81]You do understand the position you have put the guild right? Nidogg is a loose cannon, however I expected better behavior from yourself. We as a guild have managed to stay under the radar for a long time now, only the old, corrupt council knew about us. Now with the new council elected, you've put us on their radar again. However this time, they will act. I hope you're happy.[/color]" Jane hissed angrily as she pointed at Manami accusingly. Manami meanwhile was shocked by Jane's outburst....she must've screwed up worse than she thought if Jane was this angry. "[color=f9ad81]If you think anyone, let alone Maxie, will let this slide. You're dead wrong. God, you're a bigger hassle than Georgie. And she acts like she's 10.[/color]" Jane let out an annoyed groan before a door could be heard opening. Maxie soon appeared as the lights were flicked on, blinding Manami for a moment before she got used to the light. "[color=f26522]Jane that's enough. I could hear you outside the room, you're just lucky we don't have neighbors.[/color]" Maxie said calmly as he placed the shopping bags he was holding on a nearby seat. Jane stiffened up and nodded briefly, shooting Manami another glare before she took her seat once more. Rubbing his temple, Maxie sighed and took the last remaining seat and shook his head. "[color=f26522]Look, I don't have the time to punish you two idiots right now. Ash was here, but apparently she's gone now. I have to go looking before her trail gets cold. I honestly don't care what you two do in the meantime, but if you do something stupid and get captured....well I won't be staging a rescue. I'll certainly stage an execution however. Clear?[/color]" Maxie looked towards Manami as he made his threat loud and clear. "[color=00aeef]Oh don't worry Max, I don't plan on getting captured. Shiro will kill me, and herself, before I could as ordered by Georgie. 'Don't be taken alive under any circumstances. You know too much' wasn't that what she said when I became S-Class?[/color]" Manami replied in a calm tone, before she let out a soft chuckle. Maxie didn't seem too impressed by her response but simply nodded in reply. As long as she understood, he didn't care. However that chuckle made him narrow his eyes, what was so damned funny? However before he could ask, Manami spoke again. "[color=00aeef]You know, I think this is the first time in a while that all the S-Class were in one city no? Maybe we should find Mr DuCarthy and throw ourself a party?[/color]" Manami joked, however she was soon completely business from the glare she received from Maxie and simply started eating one of the breakfasts she was passed by Jane.

She stayed near the back of the group and simply kept to herself, feeling and knowing that she probably shouldn't be here. After some time they eventually made it to Belka. It wasn't that impressive a town....in fact, it was quite the opposite. It was, well a dump. The townsfolk seemed clammed in together like a pack of sardines and the people looked miserable, downtrodden and like they really needed a shower (or three). However the site didn't exactly faze Ash. She had seen worse, and done worse, in her time at Shadow Heart....this was nothing. The townsfolk might be miserable, but at least they had their lives. Ash continued to stay to the back and tried to keep to herself, not really sure what she would do if approached and talked to by one of the guild members. How would she explain being here? She wasn't a part of the guild, this didn't concern her. However all Ash had to do was wait for perhaps a moment with the guild master, explain it to him....would he accept such an explanation but? That and more ran through her head as she continued to walk.
