Valkyrie smiled, "why not?" She teased but looked away anyways.

(Sorry that was quick cus I had to leave but I'll continue) Valkyrie sat on the edge of the bed. "You done? Can I look?" She asked glancing at him before leaning back on the bed

Valkyrie mimicked him and looked at him "so..." She smiled, and rolled over resting her legs on his and stretched out "I don't think Clara likes me.." She murmured

Valkyrie sighed "I guess you have a point there.." She mumbled and closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest "I just don't know how to talk to her without hurting her feelings" she mumbled from under the covers.

She nodded "ok" before closing her eyes again and drifting of into sleep

Shawn looked at Shade and tilted his head.He walked over to her and talked quietly."Hey, what's wrong?I'm pretty sure you don't just have something to do...I mean,come on...You can teel me what's going on..." He said reassuringly.

'Shade.. come on! you deserve some fun time' Valkyrie said glancing at Clara and Denak

She hung her head"I-i cant dance.."She looked at her friends and sighed

"Heh,you think I'm goin 'cus I can?"He laughed."I'm going because it's something to do. Plus,it's not that hard to dance.I mean,you just move back and forth...That's it."He walked side to side dramatically and smiled. "See?"

She smiled alittle "Okay..ill come then"

"Ha ha!Great!Let's go everybody!" He galloped out the door with everyone close behind.

'yeeeeeaaaaaah!' Valkyrie shouted and ran down the street spinning and laughing

(Did we freeze again?) Denak followed behind.

(me thinks so...)

(Probably...What now?)

(it is time for drink :P) Valkyrie burst through the door to the bar hoping everyone else would follow, 'uh hi?' she said awkwardly looking at the people staring at her

(lol) Shawn walked in behind Valkyrie,looking suspi.sciously at the people in the bar."Just be careful.Let's not pi$$ anyone off."He whispered.

"What do you mean by p!$$ing people off?"Shade asked.

'im lovable. i cant pi$$ people off' She smirked and sat downn at the counter

Denak followed behind... quietly.

Shawn said quietly to Shade, "There are people here who are known for getting angry very easily.So watch your back,and be careful what you say."He sat next to Valkyrie.
Clara walked up to Shade."We went to school with some of these guys,so he knows what he's talking about."She sat a seat or two away from Shawn. "It's fine if you sit though."She giggled.

Valkyrie smiled and ordered a drink, 'dont look so nervous' she giggled elbowing denak playfully

Shade stretched and whisped to Shawn "What if I accadently pi$$ someone off and I accadently tranceform into some sort of animal to run off" (THAT WOULD BE SOOOOOO COOL TO RP..ill be accused of witchcraft tho.. :( )

"Uh...Just don't do anything you think would pi$$ people off. Plus, if you had to...."change", then you should get out the door first..."He whispered back.He gave her a sus.picious look and told her."What are you planning on doing?"

Denak sighed. "I'll try," he said.

"alrighty then lets get started" She said, jumpimg up and grabbing Shawns hands, "lets dance"

Shawn's face turned brighter shades of red the more he was pulled away from his seat.He chuckled nervously and smiled, looking anxiously at the people around the bar.
Clara giggled and watched as Shawn was dragged across the floor."She's more like me than I thought..."She mumbled to herself.

Denak watched them dance.

Clara glanced over at Denak then turned back to the-possibly-drunk-Valkyrie.After a minute in thought,she turned to him. "Do you wanna dance?"She asked plainly. (Go ahead Denak. Dance with her! OuO lol X} )

(Dance with her denak)
"Yeah Denak.Go dance with Clara,You know you want to" Shade Teased

(Dun!Duuun!Duuuuuuuuuun! lol XP )

(i feel about being mean to denak...HE TRIED TO KILL SHADE soooooo...)

Valkyrie grinned 'seeeee its fun' she giggled and spun around until she tumbled to the ground, 'hehehehe'
(sorry guys my internet was being stupid)

Shawn couldn't help but smile. He picked her up gently and asked worriedly,"Did you drink anything when we got here?"

'nope' she replied 'im just in an amazing mood' she said clinging to him

"No-Valkary im pretttttty sure your are drunk.."Shade said while thinking how to pi$$ people off

(lol spotted X} )Shawn smirked and stood up."Lets go to a place where other people are dancing.Come on guys."He began to walk slowly and calmly towards the door.
Clara was kinda disappointed.(I didn't get to dance...)She thought pitifully.

'ok' Valkyrie grinned 'take me away officer' she giggled following him out the door

Shawn was getting a little worried. (She's definitely drunk.)
Clara got off of the stool and followed close behind."Let's go guys."

'Clara,....' Valkyrie said turning to face her, 'you are a beautiful girl, go get Denak he cant say no to you' she slurred

Before leaveing Shade smashes all the glass with magic

(lol wtf XD) Shawn stopped in his tracks as he heard the glass sha.tter.He looked over his shoulder at the not-so-innocent Shade.The bar was quiet;the people who werent already freaked out by the group stopped talking altogether. (Dam.n it Shade!) Clara,who was about to get Denak,had stopped as well,her face still a little red because of Valkyrie's comment. (Oh no...) There was no sound within the bar.

Valkyrie giggled and jumped around 'again again' she squealed with delight

Shawn took Valkyrie's hand gently."Um...Actually lets go." He walked out of the bar with the rest of his group right behind him.After a minute of walking,he finally spoke."Shade,unless we desperately need a distraction, dont do that!"He almost yelled at her."There is no telling what they would have done!I know it sounds stupid,but there were a bunch of idiots in there.Some of 'em as drunk as her!"He gestured to Valkyrie.He sighed and looked towards his house. "Lets go home for a bit.Let her sober up." Clara followed in silence.

'but this is fun....you cant prove i drank anything' Valkyrie pouted

Shade glared at him and teleported back to were she though she killed Tan.
She looked around and saw him.
He had changed.

Shawn sighed as they reached his house.(Great...Shade left...) He opened the door,went to the living room,and had Valkyrie sit on the couch with him.Clara shut the door after Denak walked in. (I hope he's alright...)

Shade looked at Tan and said "You should have died...I've come to finish you" And with that she leaped at him grabbed him and threw him onto a statue.
He gets impailed on the statue and lays there.
Shade walked out the door and turned into a wolf and ran into the forest

Tan gasped, '.....Shade, im sorry....' he rasped before slumping and exhaling for the last time.
...

Valkyrie lay down over Shawns lap and pretended to swim, 'just keep swimming just keep swimming' she giggled

Even with the stress on his shoulders,he couldn't help but smile at Valkyrie's drunken ways. He gentley pulled her up off of his lap and took her upstairs into his room."Now,Valkyrie,you need to take a nap,ok?It'll go by real quick and then you can swim again."He had her sit on his bed and then plopped down next to her.He smiled and put his hand under her chin,turning her head to him."I wish you were sober right now..."He said quietly to himself.He kissed her and stared into her wiley eyes. (She be a little crazy. X} )

(Tan will be back U peeps know it) Shade suddenedly got caught in a snare trap it tightened around her back paw she struggled and struggled and fainted her leg was badly hurt

'ok pretty boy' she sighed before passing out into a heap in Shawns arms

Shawn almost gasped as she collapsed on him.He smiled and slid away from her.He set up the other side of his bed and moved Valkyrie to that side.He pulled the covers over her and kissed her forehead.He walked downstairs and slumped on the couch.

Shade woke up and Howled she wasnt far from Shawns house she howled and so howled and passed out again

Shawn jumped up at the howling and rushed out the back door. He saw a wolf collapsed near the trees and ran towards it.He sat on his knees and picked up the wolf."That's Shade's scent..."He muttered.He took her inside and set her down gently on the couch."Wh-What...What did this to her?"Clara walked up to him."Shawn,what's wrong?" "That's Shade."He realized as soon as he said it that he shouldn't have talked."What? She can't be a wolf.There's no such thing as werewolves.Are you sure you're ok?" "Y-Yeah. You're right.I-I'm fine.The lil guy is just hurt,that's all."He said with a fake smile.Clara looked at him confused and sighed."Well, It's getting late,so I'm going to bed.Goodnight."She hugged him,which completely surprised Shawn.His eyes widened and he stood there stupidly.Clara walked upstairs and went to her room.(She never really does that...)He sat next to the couch and looked at Shade."I hope you're alright..."

Valkyrie rolled over at the sound of Clara coming up the stairs, she said up, her head pounding she trudged down the stairs hoping Shawn would be there, 'uuuhg what happened..' she grumbled reaching the bottom of the stair case, rubbing her eyes sleepily

He chuckled and showed a small smile."You got drunk.We were gonna go dancing,but you wanted to visit a bar so...We left and came back here.I had to put you to bed."His smile went away as he turned to Shade.He gestured to her and continued. "Shade passed out.I don't know how or why,but I heard her howling and came outside to see her lieing on the ground outside."He rubbed his forehead,obviously concerned."I just hope it isn't too serious..."

'ummm maybe we should call a vet...' She seggested plopping down on the couch beside him and stroking Shades fur softly

Shawn sighed again."If we do, they'll ask a bunch of questions and Shade might wake up and freak everyone out with her magic.It's good idea,but I wouldn't do it if the person we're trying to help is-well,a person.I think we should just watch over her and wait till she wakes up.Plus,I don't have the money to go pay for an appointment with the vet."He said calmly.

Shawn looked Shade over and realised something.He smelled iron but not the metal;blood.He looked her over again and saw that her back leg was covered in blood."Oh...Her leg is...horribly hurt."He picked up her leg and examined it.There were cuts all around it and the bottom near her paw looked crushed.Shawn's eyes glowed as he used his aura sense as an X-ray."Her leg is broken.The bone was crushed by something.His eyes dimmed as looked at the indentions in her leg."They look like those bear-traps that hunters use.The kind with the zig-zag pattern.Her leg has corresponding indentions around her leg.She got caught in a bear-trap!"He said in the tone a detective would use.He realised there was still blood slowly dripping from her leg.He set her leg down,washed his hands,and grabbed the house med kit.He cleaned her leg up,and wrapped it with bandages."I can't make a cast..."He sighed.

'oh i got it!' Valkyrie said jumping up and running outside, she returned several moments later with a flat sturdy branch and handed it to Shawn 'make a splint instead' she suggested

(Btw she cant turn back into a human if hurt) Shade whimpered and snuggled into shawns leg (Aww)

He smiled at Shade's cuteness and rubbed gently on her head."Yeah,this'll work.Thanks."He kissed Valkyrie on the cheek and walked over to the kitchen closet."Where is it?Where is it!Ah!"He pulled out some cloth,a long,thick string,and duct tape."Perfect."He wrapped the cloth around her leg and laid the stick on top.He taped the cloth together and adjusted her leg to the right position.He wrapped tape around her leg and tied the sturdy string tightly around it just incase."There.It's kinda sloppy,but what else can we do?"

She snuggled even more into his lap whimpering in pain

(Sorry.School.)He gently groomed the fur on her head."I hope it works...."

(I don't remember the name of the guy with white hair so I renamed him Yugiro.That might've been his name...Maybe.)

Yugiro was sitting on top of a table whistling while spinning the chain on his jacket.He heard the door behind him creak and turned,his whistling stopped. "Well?"He asked."Shawn's gone.He's been...gone for a day or two now."A hooded figure answered him."Eh,I knew as much." "Y-You're not worried about it,sir?" "Nope.You see,we've got someone on our side.With that person,we can find Shawn and his little group."Yugiro raised his eyebrows and smiled."So,we don't have to worry about a thing.We can always find our members,no matter how far.Speakin of which..."He put on his fedora and looked up at the figure slyly."Find Valkyrie."
(Oh sh*t! lol X} )

(I think Denak is floating in mid-air at this point.)

(oh dayum lol) Valkyrie kissed shawns head and got up 'we should let her rest but not go too far..' she whispered and went out back and lay down on te porch

(lol You guys. XD)He stood up and walked outside behind Valkyrie.He layed down next to her and stared up at the sky.He sighed and took hold of her hand,looking up at the half-moon."I think it's kind of ironic,but I love the moon.I like opening my window,or laying on the ground at night so I can just stare at the moon.It's light seems almost unnatural.I know it's actually the sun's light but...I don't know...I just find it strange..."

Shade had a feeling that Fedora man was coming for his Fedora (I Dunno i cant speeeeeelll his name)She growled and limped towards the back door knowing they put the trap where it was to catch shawn or something TO TEST THEIR BLOOD AND THEY WOULD KILL THE SHAPESHIFTER IN THE PROSESS

Shawn heard footsteps and saw Shade walking towards them."Shade..."He got up and kneeled down next to her,shifting into his wolf form. "You can't be walking around with your leg like that.You need to lay down,let it heal.We heal quicker than normal humans,so it won't take long."He yipped.

"What when Fedora guy is near!" She growled not to Shawn but more out-loud "He was most likely trying to catch one or both of us and..." She toned down her yapping in to a whimper "Might be coming to get Valkary!Also,what if he spots im hurt and grabs me!"

"What?I escaped from that place!He doesn't even know where I live!I don't-"When he started thinking about it,he sensed something wasn't right.He fell silent and sniffed the air.His listened intently,but heard nothing,then his ears laid back on his head."Just find a place to hide where you can relax.I-"He shot up,taking human form immediately.(He somehow has clothes on.)He walked to and crouched down next to her."Something isn't right...Shade thinks that that white-haired kid is coming back...I think she might be right."He looked up at the sky then back at her.

walked to *Valkyrie*

Shade limped to her backpack and dragged it upstair to her room.she started pulling out pillows from her bag and she made herself comfey. but inside she was to afraid to tell shawn that it would take the same amount of time as it would for a human.

(Swift?Did Swift take a break or something? o.o' )

(Dunno..)

Sorry guys I had some things that needed to be sorted out.... I'm back now though.... Valkyrie watched them go. "What now" she thought and sat down again

(Oops!I just found your comment Swift. >_<)
He looked at her."We hide or prepare ourselves or something."He helped her up.He used aura sight to search the woods for any intruders.He saw one,and then another,and more started to show up."They're here.Go hide.Now."

"But what about you?" She said before grabbing his hand and pulling him in and slamming the door. Locking it quickly

He looked out the door's window."I'll be fine.I've fought people before."He gave her hand a small squeeze and let go."Just go.I don't want them to take you again."His eyes were shining a bright blue and his hand was glowing with an aura pulse.He smiled a sly smile. "They have no clue what they're up against."

"no...I need to tell you I cant trancform back when hurt...and it takes the same time as it would for a human" She whispered in English "And it hurts..and i have a massive first aid kit in my bag and Fedora man is coming for his fedora...and possibly you" She sighed and nuzzled a pillow for Valkary "Oh..and could you stay hiding under the bed with me" She said snuggiling into the small vally of pillows

Shawn stood against the wall next to the door,waiting for them to barge in.He heard a chuckle and looked at the kitchen."Hey Shawn.How's it been?"Yugiro asked with a smile.Shawn took a couple of steps towards him,his eyes blazing and his hands ready to strike."Get outta here.You don't need anything from me."Shawn growled in distaste.Yugiro looked deep into Shawn's glowing eyes,his smile sly and his eyes playful.He laughed the way a villian would,his deep voice calm and happy."I wish you knew the things I do.It would all be so clear."He walked out of the kitchen towards the stairs."I'm guessing your friends are here." Shawn came face to face with the white-haired boy."You don't know that.It's not like you need them anyway."Shawn said.Yugiro sighed."But I do,I'm afraid.You see,one of them is a new recruit of mine and...you can't just hire someone to not do their job." Shawn stopped a split second,then blinked and went back to hating the boy."What do you mean by that?"

"I mean exactly what I said." Yugiro sighed,flicking a peice of lint off of his jacket.He looked up at Shawn after some silence. "You're wasting my time you know.I need to get things done." He turned to go up the stairs but Shawn grabbed him tightly on the shoulder."Then go."Shawn halfway shoved Yugiro to the backdoor."Get your work done elsewhere.You have no business here."Yugiro started to show his true colors.His look was cold now, like the icy fire that ran through his veins."You shouldn't have done that.No one touches me. And now you'll know why."

(I'll post more later.I'm playin XBox. owo)

Shade hid at the edge of the bed ready to b!te fedora guy if he tried to grab Valkary, or herself for that matter

Yugiro straightened himself and closed his eyes to focus."I don't have time for this!"Shawn growled as he came straight for Yugiro.Yugiro used his light, blinding Shawn.Shawn almost fell over.He shot an aura sphere at him,but Yugiro dodged it and blasted blue fire at him."Agh!"It was so cold to him it almlst burned.The wall behind him became icy and objects began freezing.Shawn lunged through the fire and rammed Yugiro onto the floor.He was still seeing the blue fire,even though it was gone.Yugiro punched him, making the image disappear. Shawn just stood up,his hand was now on his eye,which Yugiro had just punched."That fire...I've seen it before...Who are you?" Yugiro looked at him, emotionless."Yugiro Sohto.Your nemesis.Your lifetime enemy.Your reason for being here right now."He was trying not to look weak.He had moved much;his back was straight and he almost seemed too be looking down on Shawn."Now, if you'll finally excuse me I have business to take of."He headed for the stairs.

(He *hadn't moved much)

(business to take *care of. Uugh!Mistakes! >_<)

Shawn began to jump for him,but was caught midjump.One of Yugiro's goons had grabbed Shawn and threw him against the ground.This guy looked pretty considerong his lean yet muscular figure.He had his hood on and was now walking towards Shawn.Yugiro chuckled."Heh. Have fun.Just don't kiII him."Shawn tried to get up,but was kicked down.He coughed a couple of times.He was surrounded by four cloaked figures.He was on his side,trying to breath.He hid his hand from them,concealing an aura sphere.When he knew it was powerful enough,He shot it at the big figure who shoved him down.He stumbled onto his feet, but two of the figures grabbed Shawn,who continued to struggle."What do want Yugiro!? Huh?We're worth practically nothing to you!Yet you insist on taking us away!Why?"Yugiro just glanced at him,a teasing smile crossed his face."If only you knew.You poor little orphan boy.I'm not giving you any more food.We're not playing anymore games.You leave me to business."

(OM Fudging Gawd!) Shade had heard what was going on and whispered "I didn't see that one coming"

(lol :P I like writin suspense n' stuff.)
Shawn continued to struggle, but the figures still held on.The big guy got up and headed straight for Shawn.He grabbed him and slung him across the room,his entire body slammed against a bookcase.The big figure grabbed his right arm and rammed it into the corner of the bookcase,breaking it.Shawn yelled,but did nothing else.He grabbed his arm and took quick sharp breaths.The two smaller figures picked him up and almost dragged him back to Yugiro.He was like a wild horse when forced behind a fence,or a wolf when shoved into a cage.He wanted out;he wanted to be free,but he couldn't do much on his own.He looked up at Yugiro in hate.His nose was bleeding and a trail of blood flowed from his lip and down his neck.His left eye was slightly darker than it should be and his right arm was red;blood dripping was from a cut near his wrist.Yugiro didn't look took good either.He was bruised and had a cut from some stray object that hit him across the cheek.

(blood *was dripping from)

The forth cloaked figure was standing next to Yugiro,who was about to say something.Before he spoke a voice called from upstairs."Shawn?"Everyone was silent.Shawn''s eyes were wide as he took nervous breaths.(Oh no.Clara!No no no no no!) "Shawn,are you ok?I heard a lot of noise down from there." Shawn looked at Yugiro who smiled a smug smie.He hesittated before answering."I-I'm fine.I just tripped over something.Go back to bed."He said,trying to sound normal and unhurt.It was too late.Clara was on her way down.
(I'll continue.Gotta take a shower.You guys can still comment if you want. ouo)

(It's not my RP. :P)
Yugiro and the four figures disappeared.Shawn fell and just stayed there.He couldn't hide the icy wall,the frozen table,the broken bookcase,himself.He couldn't avoid Clara seeing this.He held his broken arm, reducing the pain it caused him. Clara stopped before reaching the last step.She didn't know what to say."Sh-Shawn?"She looked like she was about to cry. "Clara...don't-"He winced. She slowly reached him and kneeled down in front of him."The wall is frozen-" "Yeah." "You're bleeding-" "I know."She looked up at him almost terrified. "Don't-don't look at me like that..."She was a friend of his so,yes,he cared about her.He didn't like disturbing people he cared about in any kind of way. "Are-Are you dying?"She asked softly.He smiled."I hope not." She looked at his left eye,setting her hand on the side of his face."Your eye..." "And my arm."He looked at his right arm."It's probably broken. Look,just don't ask about what happened right now."

Clara was confused."Okay.But we need to get you to a hospital or-" "No...No..."He stood up slowly."I don't-I can't-"He trailed off,already walking up the stairs."Wha-?"Clara got up and followed him."Shade?Valkyrie? It's-it's ok.He's gone."They reached the second floor.Clara wirled around him and stood in front of him."Who?" "Clara,not now.I can't-" "Who?"Shawn stopped.She was giving him a hard look."I can't tell you.Now, please..."Shawn's expression was full of concern and pain.She just couldn't push him.She sighed."Fine.Ok.Nothing happened as far as I know." "Thank you."He walked into the room Shade and Valkyrie were hiding in."Guys?You can come out from under there."He said,his voice getting weaker the more he spoke.

Shade limped out from under the bed "Valkary.Shawn is hurt...I think..Can you also tell him what i told you" She whimpered allittle but was speaking english

Valkyire scampered out from under the bed as quick as she could and collapsed beside Shawn. Carefully resting his head on her lap. "I'm sorry I didn't help" she said tears streaming down her face. "Shade can't change back to her human form when she's hurt it takes just as long to heal. I'm so sorry..." She choked out. "Clara, do you have a first aid kit. I need one. Now"

"O-ok."Clara hurried downstairs to look for one.Shawn got up away from her lap,sighed,and smiled,taking her hand as he spoke."You didn't have to be there.They would've taken you and left.None of us wanted that.Especially me."He practically whispered.His blood loss was making him weaker but he didn't care.He grabbed his arm and leaned his head against hers,closing his eyes"Everything's fine now."He started whispering the song 'Home' to calm himself.

Shade dropped a bandage on his lap.

"Thanks."He continued to mumble 'Home' as he took the bandage.

Clara came back with a small first aid kit."Here.Do whatever you can."She handed it to Valkyrie.

Shade sat at Clara's feet (Clara should have secret powars) Shade stretched and lay down

(Swift? o.o)

(Maybe swift died)

(I hope not. o_o)

(Yeah me too XD)

(Shawn:"At least I'm not being dragged over rocks like Freddie."
Me:"Yeah,you'll be dragged over thorns."*evil smile*
Shawn:"Wait,wh-" *is being dragged away* "Oh my god!You weren't kidding! Ow! Owww! Jesus! Sh!t man,that hurts! Help!" *is pulled down to Florida as well* lol Bye guys. (X )

(XD well... i rather be pulled over thorns than rocks..rocks hurt loads...)

(Sooorrrry

(Dunt worry bout it Swifty)

(It's coolz bro. (X )

:D I've missed you guys!!

(I missed you too dude!You were my first friend on here. You,Jalepeno,Spotted,Oakfur,and a couple others.It's cool how we were here even before the update.*hug you to death* ouo)

(I know :') you guys are the bomb.com!!)

(Heheh.Oh,you. -w-/)

(Hehe where were we? Lol)

(Valkyrie just needs to clean up ole Shawn an' bandage him up.)

(riiiightio) Valkyrie took the first aid kit from Clara 'thank you..' she mumbled and started bandaging Shawn carefully, 'you guys ok?' she asked everybody scanning them quickly for any wounds

Clara blinked,looking worriedly at Shawn."Oh,I'm fine." Shawn sighed and looked from the bandages to Valkyrie."I already told you...I'm ok...Don't...worry about me...I can take care of it by myself."He used his good arm to try and push himself up.He hardly bent his knees before he fell back down.Clara almost grabbed him out of pure instinct.This was hurting them all,seeing him like this,but she felt like it hurt her the most.

(What is the connection between Shawn and Clara?)
Shade looked up a Clara and limped off downstairs and a few minuets later she comes back with some ham from the fridge (You now have a low fridge your welcome XD)

(Clara and Shawn had known each other for a long time.So, after he graduated from high school,she helped him make a living and stuff.She 'loves' him,but he doesn't 'love' her.She's like 19 and works as an accountant or somethin.She lives with him and helps pay bills an' things.He just work(s/ed) at a grocery store.That's basically it. ouo )

(Thanks for the low fridge btw. XD)

(Thats okay and AN ACCOUNTANT SHE MUST BE REALLY CLEVER )

(Why yes.Yes she is. X} )

(im back sorry again :O)

Valkyrie crossed her legs and sighed 'is everybody ok?' she asked quietly trying to break the silence

Shade nodded "I found Ham...The only ham not lost in Shawns fight..." she sighed "Valkary we need go get ham.. and milk" she was suddedly lapping at a bowl of milk.

"I'm fi-"Clara gasped."Did that wolf just...talk?"She stared at Shade,frozen in place.

(i had no clue she was still there O.o) Shade grabbed her bag and limped away and fast she took shelter in a giant fox hole that valkray and Shawn could easily stand up in it

Shawn's eyes grew wide.(Oh crap.)Clara looked at him,waiting for an answer."Uh-I...Cl-Clara don't-" "Why would an animal talk?Oh,wait!You did say that was Shade earlier right? So,that's I haven't seen her!Cuz that was her!Right?Or am I just going crazy?" Shawn glanced at Valkyrie.(Val's not gonna like this.)He struggled to stand up,but the bandages helped.He put his left hand on her shoulder and looked her in the eyes.He looked at Valkyrie for a split second.(It's only to calm her down.)He kissed her quickly and awkwardly returned his hand to himself."E-Everything's fine.Just calm down,and w-we'll explain it to you later.O-ok?"He tried to smile as best he could and slowly sat back down in front of Valkyrie.He hated to do it,but she wasn't gonna shut up otherwise.After that,he couldn't look either of them in the eye.
(Somebody be stealin her man.Oh snappy-snoo. lol X} )

(Giant fox like hole DOES IT CLICK YET MOONY)Shade sighed eating the ham "good job i always have HAM"She howled"and milk"

(heeey :D) Valkyrie glowered at Clara, 'so now what do we do?' she asked trying to hold back the growl forming in the back of her throat. but at the same time smirking at Shade and the ham.

(Eeeey.) Shawn just stared at his broken arm."...I'm not sure."He was silent for a long moment."I...I'm sorry about this.Even if I didn't start it,I continued it.I was adding fuel to the fire.Now,he'll probably come back with his goons and try to take all of us away for-who knows what..."

"this is going to sound crazy, but...what if we just give him what he wants? well have to plan it out precisely but you know it could work, like organize a meeting, join up and stab them in the back" she suggested 'it might just be crazy enough to work'

Clara almost scoffed."I wont ask who these people are,but what about Shawn?"As she said his name,he looked up at her. "We're just gonna waltz in there with the very person they almost beat to death?"

'youre right' she sighed. 'ill go alone, Shawn needs to heal up, besides i think i can handle it, my feminine charm and everything' she smirked flipping her hair drematically, and winking at Shawn before getting to her feet and backing towards the door,'i should hurry if im going to catch up'

Clara rolled her eyes.Shawn smiled,trying not to laugh.He got up slowly,Clara at his side. "Ok.I guess I dont need to tell you but...be careful.And come back in one piece."

'you can count on it' she asured him before pecking him on the cheek and dashing out the door, she sprinted for at least five minutes before slowing down to catch her breath and igniting a fireball to light her way through the forest looking for any sign of the group, a knot twisted itself in her stomach as she glimsed a bonfire up ahead quickly extinguishing her own little fire and sneeking towards the fire pit

Yugiro sat at a distance from the fire,staring at the blue fire that manifested in his hands.

Valkyrie quickly spotted Yugiro and straightened up before striding into the circle of thugs with fake confidence, 'suprize' the grinned at Yugiro, 'miss me?'

Yugiro's flame went out.He adjusted his fedora as he looked up at her,a sly grin growing on his face."You know I did."His smile grew darker."That boy,Shawn.You said that he didnt have powers.But I...encountered him today and he seemed to have a special kind of power.I cant really explain what it was.Either way," He got up and stood very close to her."I must ask you.Did you know he had these powers?"He asked,staring intensely into her eyes.

'i honestly had no idea' she said simply, 'ishe dangerous?' she asked sitting down close to him and stealing his fedora and putting it on her own head 'i think i look better in this than you do i may have to keep it' she teased

He thought for a moment,giving her a glance."Extremely.But he's easy to break and he could be a great asset to our group.If only I could somehow persuade him to join us..."He looked at her with a smile."That would be your job. You are close to him,I believe."

'right....so what exactly do i do?' she asked looking at him in the eyes before looking at the rest of the thugs, 'and what about them, are you going to introduce me?' she laughed

"Well...lure him in I guess.You're close so theres no need to hurt him."He took his hat off of her head."And these members in particular dont want their names called out.They already who you are so...Get goin."His smile was only a smirk now."Youve got youre first real as.signment."

'ok then.' she sighed before turning to leave lighting the fire in her hands again to find her way back 'when will i see you next?' she asked quietly

"When I need you again."He replied,his voice quiet and deep. He pointed at her,a ball of light appearing close to her.He gestured to direction she was headed as if to say "Go on".

Valkyrie nodded an affirmative and started sprinting back towards the house, 'i dont know what to say to him' she muttered but kept running until she reached the door and flung herself inside

(Aww..He stole back his fedora...) Shade limped around the upstairs of the house flicking her tail and pretending to be more like a dog with her necklace as a collar.

(I was at my grandma's.)Shawn jumped up sloppily from where he was sitting.Clara still sat but watched him closely. "Well?"He asked quietly.

Valkyrie sighed and slumped to the ground, 'he want you to join them..' she trailed off 'and Shade sorry i couldnt steal the fedora back..'

She yapped "How did he even get it back.." She sighed

Shawn stood there for bit,lost in thought.He felt like throwing something,but restrained himself. "After the fight we just had? After he had his goons break my arm and beat my black and blue? All he cares about is his silly little army.No one knows his motives.He's just doing it for pleasure and satisfaction!" He groomed the top of his head with his left hand.He sighed,his hand going from his head to his hip.He was staring intensely at the ground,frustration,pain, and confusion written all over his face."He's got something to do with my parents death.I know it." He closed his eyes."That's the only real reason I'm doing this."He looked up at Valkyrie. "I'll join his stupid circus.Only for the sake of my parents' true deaths.I need to know what happened and I have a feeling he's the key to knowing.So...my answer's yes."He looked back down at the floor,his wounds aching the more he stood there.

She whimpes to Shawn "What if this is all a big plan to kill you, or use you two to take me to where he does something to me, or he kills someone,or strips them of their powers or-" Her whining trailed off and she lay with her head on his lap "What if you both are kept their and im dragged somewhere else by his hetch men,or both of you are there forever and I can't get to you."

'well take wepons, and we have our magic. nobody is taking anything from anybody without a good fight' Valkyrie said defiantly and looked at the group of battered friends around her. 'lets get this over with' she muttered under her breath and strode towards Shawn 'you sure youre ok with this?' she asked concern flashing across her face breifly before hiding her emotions again

"Yeah."He cleared his throat."I maybe hurt,but I can sense them coming.I'll know if they ambush ir follow us." Clara stared at them as they were plotting this plan,wondering if she was a part of this at all.

'ok...now all we need are some wepons' Valkyrie stated bluntly, 'and Clara... are you staying or coming with us?' she questioned as she wrapped one arm around Shawn for support and played with one of Shades ears

Shawn looked up at her,his eyes clouded with concern for her well-being,but not his own.Her mouth opened, but she said nothing,trying to find the right words.Shawn was looking at her and she was looking at Shawn."I don't even know what's going on.You still haven't told me anything..."Shawn sighed."Come here." She walked up to him.He put his left hand on her shoulder comfortingly."Stay here.Don't come with us.I don't want you hurt.Actually,I don't want anyone hurt.Please stay here so I'll know you're safe." "O-Ok." His hand slowly slid from her shoulder.His face was getting pale.He slowly sat down. "Val..." He was talking in a soft voice. "Before we do that...I'll need some time..."He closed his eyes and rested his head against the wall.

Shade started whimpering again "My paw hurts" She moaned (What am I planning,Why this, this dosen't make sence to me..not yet Oh well) Shade grabbed the bandage from around her leg to Show a purple-blue glow from her wound,She stared confused for a while till she went silent,her eyes flashing the color of the aura from the leg and returning to normal,Shade then fainted on Shawn's Lap.(So drawing this too~)

'fine' Valkyrie snapped a bit too harsh and marched upstair and flopped onto the bed moodily, letting tears flow freely. 'since when has he been so touchy feely with Clara' she thought, (oooo someones jealous >*<) 'how do i do this....'

Shawn lazily opened his eyes, noticing the harshness.(Ah geez...)He grunted as he struggled to get up.Clara tried to help him,but he gently shooed her away."I got it..."He walked slowly up the stairs and entered his room,closing the door behind him.He sat on the bed next to Valkyrie."Look,I don't li-I don't feel that way about her. She's just a close friend and I need to calm her down somehow.She just found out that Shade was a shapeshifter, ok? She's starting to find out about us and I need to find a way to calm her down.I just-I can't..."He leaned forward,his hand against his forehead."I'm afraid she'll run away.Even though I don't love her like that,I just...I don't want her to leave.She's the closest thing to a family I've had for years."He sat staring at the floor,a depressing frown on his face,his parents obviously on his mind.

'i thought i was your family' she looked up tears still glistening in her eyes and laughed to herself, 'forget it im being dumb and worried about all of this i dont want things to change..' she sighed resting her head on his shoulder and wrapping herself around him careful to not bump his arm and closed her eyes 'im sorry' she whispered before collapsing into sleep, snoring slightly (something id do..XD)

Shade still lay unconsious on Shawn's Lap, The strange purple aura growing stronger,growing brighter.

Valkyrie opened her eyes only to see a bright purple light given off by Shade. she jumped 'Shade whats going on?!' she asked imidiatly panicked

Shade woke up again,Howling in pain then Whimpering "I-I D-Don-Don't kn-know,B-but I-it Hurts!" She howled again and the glowing stopped,and she fainted again.

Shawn grunted in surprise, holding Shade gently. "Wh-Whu...?"He stuttered.

She opened her eyes -which are now purple-They'd gone from Blue to a light purple,her wound was healed,somehow."I-I'll be back she murmed going upstairs changing back human and walking back down again,Her eyes were glowing slightly,but it seemed that was just what they do. "So..you two are working for fedora guy? Is he plan- Shawn,Valkary Doesnt Fedora guy Hate Shawn,Maybe its part of his big plan to catch us all and do experements...And I have a feeling that he has a back up plan...Just in case,oh and then another...lets call them Employees,he has a few more...maybe just one new recruit" she paused "One I think we all know well" (Dun dun dun!)

(XD Spotted,I tried entering in ur FC,but it said it was invalid.It mightve been wrong,so you could you please post in on the FC pic?Thank you. (: )
Shawn raised an eyebrow."What are you getting at?"

Shade sighed and explained "Well,you know how we all thought I killed Tan,Well he's alive and working undercover for Fedora dude,and Tan knows if they have enough people I can trust,or I think I can trust someone I'll go along with them,And as you and Valkary are my Friends,I will also come along,so that may be a Trap..For me.."Shade paded up and down

(I just realised...Shawn's surrounded by a bunch of girls. XD)
"Well,if it is a trap,you expected it.We'll be there,so you'll be safe.If anything goes wrong,you can just fly off as a bird or something.We'll be ready."He smiled.

"What if they have nets..how I going to fly out of that? Turn into a griffin- Thats not a bad Idea..." She looked at Shawn "When are we going?" She asked

Valkyrie looked up at them 'now' she said tucking a knife into her boot. 'im borrowing your cutlery' she teased Shawn and stood up

"You could have asked for a knife,or a sword..."Shade murmered pulling a large sword from her bag and the placing the sword back, before slipping the bag onto her back,stepping outside and turning into a Pegasus,her bag turning into a saddle bag and saddle and her necklace turning into reins"Want a ride?" She looked to Valkary and Shawn "Oh..And if so...Running or Flying!"

Shawn glanced at Valkyrie and shrugged."Sure.Uh...Flying?"He hopped on to Shade,taking Valkyrie with him.

(I lost my DS sorry)Shade flew up And looked around,Spotting the building and gentlely glided down

Shawn turned and slid off of Shade,landing on his feet.He turned to the girls and stretched his good hand out to Valkyrie,posing as a prince would."Mrs.Val."He teased playfully.

Shade Giggled and lay low to the ground,so Valkary could get off.

Valkyrie giggled too 'why thank you kind sir' she said in a dainty voice and jumped off of Shade 'thanks' she smiled

Shade turned to Valkary "Right, So were exactly are we going Valkary?" She Trotted around in a small circle.

"Yeah...You know the way after all."He said through a small smile.

'okay..' she muttered under her breath. 'lets go then' she sighs and starts walking towards the camp. (merry christmas guys!)

(Merry Christmas! :D)
Shawn shivered.He didn't realize how cold it really was until now.Good thing he had his jacket on.As he watched his breath dissolve into the cold air,he couldn't help but ask."So...Does Yugiro ever...flirt with you?"His face was turning a slight tint of red,but it wasn't because of the cold.

(how was your xmas?) Valkyrie spun around in surprize, 'what? i-i mean of course not' she stuttered 'why would you ask that?' she questioned waggling her eyebrows

(It was good thanks!And you?) Shawn glanced down at her then looked ahead,stuffing his hands deeper in his pockets."No reason..Just curious."He mumbled.

Shade felt awkward and didn't know how to react to the question that was directed at Valkary

(its was pretty good thanks :P) Valkyrie wrapped her arm around his neck pulling him close, 'is somebody jealous?' she teased and ruffled his hair playfully

His face grew redder as he stuttered."What?Uh-um...no." He fixed his hair."He's the one who better be jealous,that mother..."His voice drifted off as he mumbled name after name like a sailor. (:P)

Shade turned into a cat forced her bag on to shawns back and leaped in it

Valkyrie giggled 'somebody IS jealous' she whispered to Shade but still loud enough for Shawn to hear. 'were almost there just a bit further now'

Shawn sighed as he adjusted Shade's backpack,avoiding eye contact with Val or Shade.His eyes narrowed in a relaxed and tired way as he mumbled, "I'm not jealous..."

Shade yawned "I'm just going to sleep in here" She curled up on the pillows she put at the top

'were here' Valkyrie muttered as the camp came into view, 'be cautious' she whispered and walked confidently into the campsite

Yugiro turned as he heard something approaching."Hello Valkyrie.How did it..."He met Shawn's eyes which were glowing in agitation."...go?Well I see that he agreed."There was something about this that felt a little off to him.Maybe Valkyrie already knew about Shawn's special...thing.His abilities were rather unique."Sit guys,don't just stand around.I would like for us to relax before we get into the whole bit.Enjoy some food.One of our men just cooked a big dinner for the camp."Shawn was staring straight at him,sitting on a tree stump with his right arm limp in the sling and his chin resting on his left hand."I'm not hungry."He spat a split-second after Yugiro shut his mouth."Thats...fine then.I have some things to care of,but I'll be back in a bit."Yugiro stood up and disappeared behind a group of hooded teens,Shawn guessed."I don't like this.I don't like this at all."He muttered to Val and Shade in an agitated tone.

'well be fine' she whispered back, 'as long as we dont goof this up' she continued and sat down patting the log as an invite for him to join her

Shade looked around the camp from a tiny gap in the backpack.

He sat next to her gently,as to not move the backpack around too much."You be careful back there."He muttered to Shade. "Don't want ya fallin out."

She gave a soft mew "Don't you worry, I'll be Uber Careful"

He smiled a small smile and chuckled quietly."Good."His smile disappeared quickly as he watched the hooded people who seemed to be on edge since their arrival.

She looked around a bit more,And decided to curl back up.

god, the memories

Glad I'm not the only one who occasionally comes back to reminisce. (:
