Ooc:// Yeah, Phoenix has had the baby now, he's called Hawk. He is with her. Phoenix couldn't help but smile at the boy's compliment. "Just giving the baby some exercise," she replied. A little baby boy in a dark, gothic babysuit crawled out from behind Phoenix. His right arm dragged awkwardly behind him.

While the two ( three now) were talking, a pair of red eyes watched from the shadows. The figure was listening in closley to every conversation they were having. Pulling a knife out of her belf, she quietly but quickly moved through the bushes towards them with extra fire in her eyes and soul.

"He's sweet. Bad arm eh?" Rupi said sympatheticly. He glanced around sudenly feeling like someone was watching. His large ears turned slightly towards the bushes. "Is someone there?" He asked his hand moving towards the hilt of his sword. He whispered to Phoenix, "Can you hear or see anything, in the bushes? Or am I going crazy? Either way I'd keep an eye on your kid if I were you. Which I'm not." He then took a few steps towards the bushes, unfolding his wings in case anything happened.

Rupi blinked. His eyesight wasn't as good as normal people, so he'd have to reley on his excelent hearing. He wasn't nicknamed Bat Ears for nothing. He drew his sword. The 16 year old boy may be young but he was a fierce warrior when he wanted to be. Fierce warrior or polite boy, he could be either, and he was not afraid to fight to the death. He paused, then flapped his large wings and hovered slightly above the ground, peering through gaps in the bushes. "It's no good, I can't see anything." Rupi said exasperatedly. He dropped onto the ground and moved forwards until he was a few inches from the bushes. He pulled back some of the bush, although he knew it was probably not a good idea. He knew for a fact that he was not the weirdest thing in the forest, he'd seen werewolves, vampires, demons...he could go on for ever in this forest. His heart thudded loudly as he looked through the bushes.

Ooc:// Me too! Bic:// Phoenix froze. She grabbed the baby, holding him close to her. He gurgled indignantly, as if about to cry, but Phoenix silenced him. The ninja sensed movement in the trees. "Get back," she cried to Rupi. "Get back NOW!"

Rupi flapped into the airand landed next to Phoenix. "What is it?" He whispered to her, "Is it human?" Rupi hoped it was.

Phoenix spat. "Yes," she said quietly. The ninja shoved Hawk into Rupi's hands. "Here. Fly up to the trees, and stay there. Take him with you."

The figure smiled to herself. So what? She had been seen. If only she could get to that baby... She ran her finger along the blade waiting for the one know as Rupi to turn his back. "Its been too long..." she whispered quitely. Crouching down lower and lower to the ground, she prepared to strike as Rupi turned to get the baby. Her eyes falshed and she shot out of the bushes growling.

Phoenix's eyes darted to the figure, then back to Rupi. She gracefully leapt from the log, kicked the girl in the stomaxch, then tripped her. She held her down with one hand, before turning to Rupi. "Take him," she spluttered. "Run! Go! Go anywhere!"

The girl struggled under Phoenix's weight. She looked to the boy and the baby and then kicked around some more. Yes it was usless but she wouldn't give up just like that. The girl stopped struggling and quietly moaned something to herslef. "Can you get off me." her breathing slowed. "I wont hurt you if you dont hurt me."

Rupi flew up about 50m above Phoenix and the girl. He looked at the baby, saw his little arm was in a funny position and gently moved it. "It's ok, I'm sure your mum can handle it." He said quietly, "And I reckon you'll be a great ninja, just like her, maybe even better!" He flapped his leathery wings slowly to stay in the air. He hoped Phoenix would sort things out soon. His wings weren't fully grown and he couldn't stay up here forever.

Looking up at the two hovering in the air, the girl knew what she had to do. Just keep Phoenix talking long enough for Rupi to drop down to earth! "Look, my names Regan. I'm not from around here and I'm looking for a tribe of fire demons who passed by not long ago. Their scent led to your baby." she explained. 'All of this is true...' Regan thought to herself. 'Just need that baby and everything will be fine.'

Rupi looked down at the baby then remembered the demons they'd seen earlier...could they be the demons Regan was talking about? "Hey, we saw some demons a few minutes ago. Oh, and DON'T try anything on the kid. I'd rather be be tortured to death than him get hurt. So I strongly advise you to stay put." Rupi said. "But if your looking for demons...they went that way..." Rupi pointed to his left. "But watch it...they might be Jenix's minions, cause trouble with them, and you might have something much worse than some demons after you." Rupi flapped his wings quickly as he'd just dropped about a metre down. Suddenly he realised he was tiring faster than he'd expected. Holding Hawk in one arm, he carefully drew his sword, and gave Regan a look that meant, "I'm serious."

Phoenix glared at Regan. "Do you think I don't realise what your trying to do?" she said, her voice soft but full of anger. "But I will never, ever let you harm my son!" The ninja drew a long, thin sword and layed the flat of the blade against her neck. "Just try," she hissed. "Just try and take him. Move and I'll slit your throat." Phoenix heard Rupi speaking. She pressed the blade harder against Regan's neck with every word the Yutaio said. Her hand tightened on Regan's shirt. She had witnessed Rupi falling a metre in the sky. She would not let this... this rogue kill her son! Phoenix raised the blade swiftly, her eyes blazing with anguish. She looked ready to bring the long, thin blade crashing into the girl's neck. Then her scarlet blood would spatter the clearing and Phoenix would hear her weep...

(Ooh, dramatec...) Rupi landed in a tall tree nearby and folded his wings carefully. He watched Phoenix and Regan, glancing at Hawk every so often to check he was ok. He still held his long blue sword ready in case Regan was foolish enough to attack him or Hawk. Or Phoenix. Who knows? He thought. She might be a lot stronger than she looks. His ears twitched slightly as he listened to the conversation below. He held the baby closer to him, trying to comfort him a bit more. "It's ok, if anything happens to your mum, I'll protect you, or die trying, I swear I will. And I don't break promises." He said, just loudly enough for Phoenix and Regan to hear. He gripped his sword tighter, and stood up on the branch. If he wasn't holding Hawk he would have automatically hung upside down from the branch, but he figured Hawk wouldn't thank him for that.

Regan started to struggle for breath. Her eyes flickered for a second. "So kill me. Maybe I will never get the revenge I deserve." she gasped. "And I WONT scream for you, or cry out for you! I'll cry out for the ghosts of my family who still wander restless!" In a split second, Regan rolled over onto her side crushing Phoenix's hand under the shoulder blade. There was a loud crack but no scream. Regan wouldn't run away just yet. She looked in the direction of the fire demon trail then up at the baby. Holding Phoenix under her, she took out a sword. "I hope your friend wasn't lying to me." she held the sword over Phoenix's back and lowered it slightly. The more Phoenix struggled, the more Regan lowered the sword. "Dont try anything. By the way. The scent led me to your baby becasue they came here a couple of nights ago. Are you sure nothing happened to him while you were talking to Rupi?" Regn laughed. "I'm not so sure they left him alone..."

Rupi put Hawk in a small hollow in the tree (Convinient!) and jumped down from the branch. "Get off of her. NOW." Rupi said fiercly, drawing his sword.

Regan smiled and pulled another sword from inside her dress. She pointed it at Rupi. "Move one more step. and I'll gut her." Regan hissed. "And then, I'll kill you. I just want to check the baby... Not kill it or harm it." Regan sighed. "But if you all want to be brutal today... I guess I can join in too..."

Rupi looked at Phoenix. It was up to her. He leant on his sword. "I'm not moving. But just out of interest, how well do you fight in that dress? Don't you trip over? Not being rude, just wondering. Oh, by the way, I'm not brutal. Unless I need to be." Rupi casually fiddled with his ear. Rupi stiffened suddenly. His ears twitched and his grey eyes widened. He shot an anxious glance behind him. Then looked back at Regan. "Well, maybe I'm about to find out..." He said quietly.
