When they reached the town Riley and Seamus began to wake up. Riley's vision was a bit blurry but he could still tell they made it to the town. His full vision came back in time to see Himeiji's armor. Was he the obly one who didn't wear armor? She then turned around and smiled at them. She told them that they made itnand that they should head out. As she tied the horses Riley started to stretch, maybe leaning against a wooden crate wasn't the best idea.
When Riley got up Himeiji came back. She had a very serious look on her face. She then told them about the five people with bad auras. It was likely they were working for the queen. They were right next to the border where the empire and kingdom met. She then told them a few options they had. After carefully listening to them Riley began thinking.
When Seamus woke up he rubbed his head. After Himeiji tied the horses and come back he heard the news. This was something they had to think about. " Well on one hand we don't know for sure if they're working for the queen," he said. " On the other hand their auras say other wise. If anything they should know something about the stones at the very least. To be honest with you Riley is better with coming up with plans for these kinds of things"
After Seamus spoke it seemed like he left it up to him. Well he was very good at times like these. He had done a lot of things like this in the past. He looked towards the large house, thinking about all tne options they had. After a moment he turned back to Himeiji. He had the plan. " Okay here's what I think," he told her. " Go in and pick them off one by one like you said. But only after you hear something about the stones or the queen, we want to be sure we aren't just killing inoccent people. It's what my master would do. You bring back the one that looks like they know the most, we'll stay here hidden. If you want I can teleport you to the roof."

"Fair enough." Himeiji said in regards to Seamus suggesting to hear out a plan from Riley. She was obviously open to suggestions and she was of course working off of speculations, but then again she was damn good at what she did, and felt a bit more confident that her abilities were still honed to this day. Riley wanted to go along with her plan, but adding in a mix up of finding who the alpha among that group was, and picking them off one by one, until it was just the alpha. Himeiji nodded to the plan and smiled a bit.
"We'll do it your way. As for transportation, I'll be fine. After all, navigating in the shadows is my strong suit." She said with a big smile. Once everything was said and done, Himeiji had taken off within a blink of an eye. She used the shadows and cover of the houses to navigate the distance between her and the five hooded figures. Her steps were light and silent, her ears attentive, and her eyes on the prize, yet aware to the rest of the surroundings. Her speed was something to be marveled at, because no sooner than she assured them of her prowess, she had already came close to the larger house and the figures at the door. All she had to do now, was pay close attention and listen dutifully.

( feel free to have hime go in there and kill everyone but the leader when Ren leaves)
When Himeiji left to go through with the plan Riley and Seamus started to hide. Riley chose to be in between two crates. Seamus on the other hand went inside a crate. Wanting to be extra safe Riley moved a third crate in front of him, blocking him completely from view. There were completely silent, not wanting to be caught. There was no doubt in their minds people working for the queen knew who they were. Even if the queen didn't Ren sure did, and since he was working with the queen they weren't going to take any chances.
When the five got to the large house they stopped. One of them knocked on the door twice. After a few seconds a sixth person opened the door. He looked at them and then looked around. He was trying to make sure the others weren't followed, but he didn't see hime, none of them did. After that he looked at the five. " You all are late," he said. " If the queen was here I'm sure she would have you all behead."
" We ran into a bit of trouble," one of them said. " But we do have some more information regarding the first stone and the king."
When the sixth person nead this he opened the door wider. Now a table with a few other people could be seen. " This better be good," he said. " I have a feeling if you all deliver more bad news you won't live to do it again." He let them all inside and closed the door. Although the door was closed there was a window right next to it, there was no glass there. From where hime was she was able to see and hear everything.
There were nine of them including the five. All of them had nery dark auras. They all sat around the table, they seemed to be in the middle of some meeting of some sort. The five sat down and the meeting continued. " Alright, what is it?" One of the others asked. " What did you all find out?"
" The three that were sent to find the stone sent back some information," one of the five said. " It seems the stone is deep within the mountains, where exactly they don't know yet. But they are looking for it as we speak. They ran into, some problems but they took care of it. As for the king there is some bad news. Some of his knights found out about where the first stone is, and the king now knows where it is."
" You idiot! You let them get away?! Don't you know what this means? He could send his own group to try and find it now!"
" It wasn't our fault! I swear! We killed the knights that knew but one of them got away. We sent some spys into his kingdom, to see just whathe would do with the information. It turned out he already had two people to find the stones for him. They were on their way there so they waited. It turns out the two brought a third with them. The king told them where the stone was and that is all we know besides one of them being make and two being female. They were going to find out more but they were spotted. They made it out just in time. They didn't get a good look at them, but they have a basic idea. They are on there way to the queen now."
" Now we have those three to worry about. You do realize that when the queen finds out about this we could all be killed?!"
" Oh I think that should be the least of your worries." The voice came from the shadows. A portal opened and out stepped a young boy. The others had a look of fear when he appeared. It was Ren O'Malley. His aura was dark, darker than anyone else in the room. But there was still a bit of light in it deep down. Ren had a smile on his face, a half evil half insane smile on his face.
" Ren O'Malley! Wh-what a pleasant surprise!" One of them said in a scare voice.
" Oh save it!" Ren said. " You all disappointed me. I'm afraid I'll have to take a star off of your performance record." The others looked very afraid, like something bad was about to happen. Ren took out a paper with one star on it, and slowly pulled the star off. " Oh my would you look at that, that was your last star. You know what happens when someone loses all there stars don't you?"
A wheel of Fortune appeared beside Ren. He slowly pointed to one of them. " You go first." His voice was inoccent, like he was an inoccent child. The one he pointed to shook his head no. Ren wasn't having any of that. He grabbed him by the arm and pulled him out of the chair. He then pushed him to the wheel. " Go on don't be shy. Everyone wins in this game!"
The man slowly turned the wheel. It started spinning. Soon it stopped on " getting rid of the dead weight". The man stepped back, he did not want that. Ren grabbed him by his arm again. " Oh dear thisnis terrible! We have to get rid of the dead weight and there doesn't seem to be any! Oh well, looks like I'll have to make some." A black katana appeared in his hand. He stabbed the man, causing him to drop to the ground. Ren kept slashing him, laughing the entire time. With each slash his smile grew bigger and bigger. Soon tne floor was covered in blood.
Soon Ren stopped and his katana disappeared. He picked up the dead body. "Oh here's tne dead weight. I knew we would get some soon enough." He then tossed the body on the table. He smiled at everyone, tilting his head to the side. " Now who wants to go next? Don't worry everyone gets a turn, ill... make...sure...of....that!"
" You monster!"
Ren laughed his insane laugh. " Flattering will get you no where. But since I had so much fun I'm afraid we'll have to end the game here for now." He pointed to the one at the head of the table. " Your in charge of this group right? I know I'm insane but I think you should all start using your brains. You do not realize what two of them can do! I know two of them, but I have no idea who the third is. If you all don't want to play my fun little game abain I suggest you take care of those three. I'll be watching and remember; I love to play my games. So right you you mess up again you better hope you all died in the process. I'm a compassionate man and I believe in many chances, without them there woukd be no one left to pkay my games with me. Now mr. Leader start leading!" Ren said this words with an inoccent tone, like what he was saying was right. He disappeared outmof then air, laughing. There was no trace of them. The leader looked terrified.

Himeiji watched and listened the entire time. Her eyes allowed her to see the evil in all of them and when the biggest arrived, Ren O'Malley, Hime's blood was set to boil. The assassin listened in on the fact that the king had spies in his midst, but the fact that they were found out and scared off eased a burden on Himeiji's shoulders. All that was left to do now, was to continue to listen as the nine tried to explain to Ren their failures and even more information about the stone, plus its location.
"So its deep in the mountains, yet the other three have found it as well... Guess I'll wait this out a bit longer." Her deciding to do so opened her eyes up to the horrors that were Ren O'Malley. The man was insane, bloodthirsty, and merciless. All of the figures were terrified of him and his antics only furthered the fear into their very beings. His aura was malicious and foul. The fact that there was any sort of light left in the man was a surprise to Himeiji. Next came the killing. Ren played a game with the man, forcing him to spin a wheel that already outlined his fate the moment Ren had come in from the portal. She watched in disgust and anger as Ren brutally slaughtered the man. Himeiji wouldn't turn away, she let the image burn deep into her head as she told herself that he was the enemy. She as going to cross paths with him eventually and she felt it in her blood that she will be the one to put him on the cross.
"Calm yourself, Hime. Remember who this man is. Don't you think this is something the siblings should handle, rather than you taking justice into your own hands? We'll put the queen to the sword, how does that sound?" Black Heart asked, trying to ease up the tension building up within her vessel. The easing worked, Hime's breathing was going back to normal levels and she was felt less inclined to violence.
After Ren had dealt with the man and flung his body to the table, he fingered out the leader of the group. Himeiji made a mental tag of the man who was now declared the leader, and watched as the heinous Ren disappeared into thin air.
"Show time." Himeiji tied her hair into a high-ponytail to keep it from getting in her face while she was going to be in battle. Hime was one not to show mercy to her opponents, but considering their fates after this, it was probably better to kill them off than have them face down once more. Himeiji took in a deep breath, holding it in her diaphragm, and listening to her heart beat three times. On the third beat, Himeiji performed a backflip through the window and into the building.
By now, she would have alerted all of them to her presence, but she was working with speed and precision. Hime had backpedaled, cutting off their exit to the door, then lunging forward with her blade to run it through the chest of one of the figures sitting closest to the door. After doing she performed a front-flip, landed on the table, and flicked the blood off of the blade, and into the eyes of the leader in order to keep him out of the fight. From her position, she was able to decapitate two of the members sitting close to the first guy she killed, and awaited a response from the other five. Her eyes at this point had narrowed. She was a cold-blooded assassin who wasn't going to take pity on these people, seeing as they themselves are filled with dark intentions. Himeiji stared into each of their eyes in a fraction of a second, reading to see who was going to move next, and what their plan of action was going to be. To show how serious she was getting, six swords appeared by her sides, giving her the image that she had three pairs of wings.

When Ren left the others looked at each other. They all had a look of concern on their faces. They were lucky Ren didn't want to have too much " fun" with his so called game, or else they would all be dead. They had to think about their next move and not fail again. Ren meant what he said, and they did not want to play his game one bit. The leader was the most concerned, he was pointed out. He was in trouble with both Ren and the Queen.
The one that was closest to the window began to think. " Ok I have an idea that might save our skins," she said. " All we need to do is kill the three and we'll-" that was all she coukd say. In the middle of her sentence Himeiji had jumped through the window and ran her sword through her chest. It happened so fast the others had a delayed reaction to it. By the time she landed on the table they realized2 what was happening. She then sliced the heads off of the next closest two.
The look she gave the leader made him freeze in his tracks. He couldn't handle two heart sttacks so close together. First Ren's game and now this. When Himeiji made six swords appear it was clear to them all she meant business. For a few seconds not one of them moved. The leader was worried the most, he had only two options. He could try to fight her and mostly likely die in the process, or run away. If he ran away he would habe to explain what happened to the queen and Ren. Even if he tried to hide he knew they would find him in no time. He knew if that happened, Ren would want to play one of his more " advance" games with him.
It seemed either way they were all going to die. He decided that fighting her would end quickly, and would be less painful than a game with Ren. Best case scenario they somehow won and didn't have to play another game. He knew that would most likely not happen, but it was worth a shot at this point. He got up from his chair and a silver sword appeared in his hand. The others saw what he did and after a moment did the same.
They all seemed to have the same mind set. The other four lunged at the girl. They all came from different angles, with their swords in front of them ready to cut her. The leader however stayed where he was. Instead of going in head first he woukd see how she would respond to the other four. While he did that his sword started glowing with a dark aura. It was clear that he was powering up.

Two of Himeiji's dissolved and immediately she granted herself Sword of the Demon. Her movement speed was increased two-fold and it was painfully obvious that she would out-speed these four with ease. When they all tried to group up and attack her, Himeiji only unsheathed her sword once. Five slashes rang out all at once, striking down the four that charged at her, and another slash aimed at disarming the leader who was charging up for an attack. Should she have succeeded in disarming him, Himeiji would have used her overpowering speed to lunge at him, and tackled him to the ground, a firm hand resting on his neck.
"Start talking. Where are the stones exactly and don't lie to me... Or else." Her blade would have been poised to take his head off immediately and with succession of her tackle, the effects of Decay would have started to take place. This would mean the skin around his throat was slowly starting to die around her grasp.

It seemed trying to charge at the girl was a bad idea, a very bad one. She wasn't even phased by the favt four people were coming at her all at once. After she absorbed two of the swords it was all over for them. In one smooth motion she brought out her sword. There were five strikes in all, but it only looked like one with how fast it was. Four of them took out the four that tried to attack her. The last one sent the leader's sword flying behind him.
This just wasn't their day. Before he could turn around and try to get his sword leaped at him. The next thing he knew he was on the ground, her hand on his neck. She wanted to know where the stones were and if he lied to her, hewas going to feel a little light headed. Her grip was something he had never felt before. It was like his neck skin was dying as she held it.
There were two options for him. He could tell her what he knew, but then Ren or the queen would have his head. If he didn't tell her she would kill him. It was a death-death situation. Even as his own skin was dying, he feared what would happen to him after he told her. Ren's advance games tended to drag on, by that it meant that it would drag on the persons death. He had seen it first hand, people being forced to push heavy blocks up a mountain, only to be tied to it and pushed down the mountain. People drenched in barbecue sauce and thrown in a dragon's den.
He decided that he would tell the truth. He would hope he would reach the queen before Ren got to him. At least the queen had her sanity. " Alright, alright! I'll talk!" He told her. " We only know where one stone is. It's up in the mountains behind this town. Deep in them. There is a rumor that it's inside a cave in the heart of the mountain in the center. There is supposed to be a clue to where another stone is in the same cave. That's all I know I swear!" His face had a look of complete fear, the same look he had when Ren had pointed to him.

Himeiji heard the leader's explanation and took it all in. The stones were deep in the mountain as first explained, but the fact that the stone within could lead to the others, became a nice hardy piece of information. Himeiji slowly stood up, still gripping the neck of the man. She rose him up in the air, sword still poised for killing. She continued to look him dead in the eyes, their merciless, soulless gaze, probed him further.
"And what of the other three? How many... 'Unique' others, are looking for the stones. Hurry, your time is shortening." She said in reference to the fact that the Decaying effects of her touch continued to rot his neck. Due to continuous touch the effects climbed. His neck would have started to like they were on fire, as the infection gnawed away. It threatened to eat away until the insides of his throat were revealed.

He was raised up into the air, the woman's death stare still looking him in the eyes. Her eyes were emotionless and cold. Why did Ren have to point out that he was the leader? The leader always got the worst death in these kinds of situations. All the other's deaths were quick, all besides the one Ren killed. Now as she was holding him by the neck, it was like her grip was killing him. He felt like his neck was lit on fire.
She now wanted to know about the three that were looking for the stone in the mountains. She also how many others were looking for the stone. She said his time was ending. Was she talking about her death grip? " The three in the mountains were sent by the queen. One of them is a keyblade master. Another is a warrior of pure heart. The last one is mage with legendary magic. As for others there are two, both of them came with Ren. They've been working with him for years, destroying many worlds. One of them is a master swordsman and the other is a legendary dragon. Sasuke and Nore. They seemed to be his most highest in command. That's all I know, i swear!

"Five in total... We're going to be in for one hell of a battle. Well then, you've been quite useful and informative! Thank you for efforts and... I am sorry that things had to end this way." With a flicker of her sword the man within her grasp would have been killed in a flash. She put a little effort in these specific slashes, for they ended up destroying the man completely and quickly, granting some form of mercy killing. Once everything was done, Himeiji released her deep breath, and sheathed her sword. Turning to all those she had killed, she bowed in respect for them, and started on her way out the door.
Once out in the small town once more, she'd look around for Seamus and Riley, hoping they'd take the silence that everything was cleared. She waited for them at the front of the house, humming a soft tune to herself. Despite the killings she just committed, Himeiji was smiling softly, and swaying a little in her spot. She was sorting out their objectives while she hummed and knew that the mountain was going to turn into a gigantic battle ground in the next few hours.
"I hope those two will be ready for when the time comes." Black Heart said with a doubtful tone.
"They will be. They have to be... Or else none of us are coming back alive after today." Himeiji said in a confident manner, despite how dire the situation was.

After the woman got what she wanted she killed the man. Out of all the deaths that happened in room, his was probably the most merciful. Now the room was filled with bodies, and blood. There was a lot of noise that happened in the kast few minutes, but no one dared to go near that house. After the place was quite for some time Seamus came out of his crate. He then tapped on the crate that was in front of Riley. Riley soon move it. " Come on," Seamus said. " I have a feeling it's safe now."
Soon the two came out of the wagon and saw Himeiji waiting for them outside the house. They soon came to her. The first thing they noticed was all the blood and bodies in the room. " I take it you got the information we needed?" Seamus asked her. He then noticed the wheel of Fortune that was still in the room. He sighed. " Looks like your brother was here Riley."
Riley looked into the room. He couldn't help but feel responsible for all this. If he was strong enough to stop Ren before none of this would be happening. These people wouldn't be dead, the queen wouldn't be a threat to the king. He shok his head, trying to forget all of this. " So what did you find out?" He asked. Even though he was hiding it in his voice, his aura clearly showed that he felt guilty.

"Well, I did find out that there were spies sent to the king prior to our arrival to the castle. The spies soon heard of our plans and were able to get away. The queen's goons, including Riley, a man named Sasuke, and another named Nore, all know of our existence and quest to come and find the stones. There are two others with them as well, the one of pure heart and the other which is the keyblade wielder." She concluded, looking towards both Seamus and Riley with a neutral look. The two peered inside the building and discovered the handiwork that belonged to Ren. Riley took it the hardest, his aura was beginning to wane in a negative state. Himeiji came up behind the young boy and hugged him. She held the young one close to her body and smiled.
"Listen Riley, I can understand how you feel, trust me on that. However, we all need you at the top of your game and you must know you cannot blame yourself for the deaths of others. Unless you yourself had a hand in their deaths, you shan't place the burden all on your shoulders. Your brother, Ren, he's chosen this side of darkness out of his own volition. We'll put him to justice soon enough, but until then, I need you strong and stable. Can you do that?" She asked, turning Riley around, patting his shoulder, looking into her eyes, smiling. Her eyes glistened among the gore surrounding them, showing the young one that there was hope for everyone. "Now then, the stone is deep within the mountains, the others are searching for them. From what else I was told, the stone we collect will show us the way to the others. We find them and get this job done. Are you two ready to head out for another long trip?" She asked

Seamus sighed as Himeiji explained what she found out. Apparently there were spies that saw them and heard them talk to the king. " Well there goes our element of surprise," he said. To top things off nit onky was Ren working for thr queen, but sasuke and Nore too. It didn't surprise him, where ever Ren was they were sure to follow. He did have a score to settle with Nore though, last time she had nearly killed him back on their home world. Not only was the trio working for the queen but three others. A warrior of pure heart, a mage, and a keyblader. He then thought about Riley, since he was their keyblader. It seemed he was going up against a lot of other keybladers lately. He shook his head, they were in for quite the adventure.
As Riley was looking inside the house he felt someone hug him from behind. It was Hime who was trying to cheer him up. She said that she knew how he felt, but he needed to be at his best. None of these deaths were his fault, and neither was Ren going down the path he was. He shouldn't be blaming himself for any of this. She then turned him around and out a hand on his shoulder, asking him if he could be strong and stable. He smiled, his aura turning back to normal. " Ya I can," he said. " I made a promise to someone, a promise to bring the old Ren back. That's something I still plan to do. I know that if anyone can help me do that it's you." His eyes were shining, shinning with hope. He still had hope he could bring his brother back.
The stone was deep in the mountains, and the others were looking for them. If they could get that stone it would help them fine the others. It was going to take another long trip. Riley nodded to her. " I'm ready for anything. Let's get that stone!" His voice was full of confidence, something he didn't have for a long time.
" Well then, what are we waiting for?" Seamus laughed.

Himeiji smiled as the resolve within Riley rekindled. She patted his back then went back to the wagon, untying the horses from the post, and hopping up onto the driver's seat.
"Let's get going guys. We have a mountain to get to and some people to screw over!" She'd say with an excitement equal to Riley's confidence. Himeiji and Black Heart discussed what may happen next. Their confrontation with their enemies is pretty much going to happen. Himeiji wondered who she'll be facing and how strong they'll be. Whatever the consequence, she'd be prepared to fight all of them if she had to. However, she knew that was just her thinking of the worst case scenario. The assassin knew full well her two companions would be more than capable to take on their opponents as well.
"I'm glad to be on this journey with them. I can't wait to see how much mettle they'll be able to put out when it comes to it." Himeiji said to herself. Once Seamus and Riley were on board, Hime would make a quick start towards the mountains. They had to be quick this time around and find the stones before the queen's fodder could.

When they got back to the wagon Riley and Seamus went back to were they were sitting before they went to sleep. This was going to be it, soon they were going to where the first stone was. They needed this one, it would led them to the others. This was a battle they couldn't afford to lose. Riley then thought about his mark, it could be a problem. He didn't want them to go in unprepared for this kind of thing.
He looked at Hime. " Listen you have to know this," he told her. " You remember my mood swings right? Well if my mark glows red I need you to get away from me. When it glows red I turn into this.... psychopath. When I turn into.... her I can barely control myself. I try to kill everything in my path, I also get this weird craving for blood. I've.... hurt those I love because of it. " His voice and his eyes were full of concern. He had hurt those he loved because of it in the past. He didn't want a repeat of that. " Red is the only color you have to worry about. My other.... changes are pretty much harmless."
Seamus shook his head when Riley warned Himeiji about his red self. He knew that form far too well. " Ya I almost lost a few lims because of that," he laughed. " You seem to have gotten some control over that form over time. If anything it will come in handy if it happens while battling with them." He shook his head and layed down. " Wake me up when we get there." He closed his eyes. Seamus was ready for this battle, ready to settle the score with Nore.

Himeiji had her eyes on the road as they left the dreary town. They were now on the path towards the mountains and the first stone of the sword. Riley figured that while they were still in a safe spot to bring the emotion that governs his ferocity. Called it a her and that should "she" ever get out, to steer clear. Something of which she'd more than likely oblige to.
"Don't worry, I'll stay out of your way at the sign of red." Hime assured Riley and Seamus. When thinking about it, she did figure that it'd only be fair to tell them about her different persona. Just the name and the consequences of getting in her way. "Be aware of another being that may or may not posses me during battle. She's aware of her surroundings and isn't vicious like your red emotion, Riley, but she will not tolerate anyone standing in her way. I call her Black Heart. She's my teacher, my friend. Should she see an opportunity to cut an opponent down, she'll do it no matter what... Even if it means cutting through both people." She'd conclude. Her tone was light, yet it filled with a deathly seriousness.
The ride would have taken a couple of hours to get to the mountains. From the look of it there could have been some sort of cave entrance, or temple that they could have found to get in. Given the area, this was pretty rocky terrain and thus, they'd need to watch their footing. The horses would not be able to go much farther, so they'd need to prepare to the letter, and make sure they were ready for the remaining journey ahead.

As Seamus listen to Himeiji explain black heart he sighed. Great just what he needed, another different personality to watch out for. Just how did he keep metting these kinds of people. Well at least black heart wasn't vicious like red Riley. He did make a mental note to stay out of Himeiji's way in combat. Although he had a dark form, he was in complete control of that. He was going to have to stay away from both of them in battle. He shook his head and slept until they got to the mountains.
When Hime explained that black heart was also her teacher and friend he smiled. " Oh so you're friends with your other self?" He asked. " I wish I could do that. If I could I would tell red me to stop drinking blood and yellow me to stop running away from everything." He rested until they got to the mountains. He then looked up at the mountains, where their quest really began.
The mountains themselves were sky high. There was a lot of snow at the top of the mountains. There was a steep path that led up the mountains, and a cave entrance that led deep in them. It was possible that something else was in the mountains, besides the ones looking for the stone. There were many powerful dark auras coming from the mountains, but it was hard to tell where exactly. Riley got off the wagon when the horses couldn't go any further. " If I remember my oast adventures I think we should go into the cave," he said. " The stones are the stones of thr gods right? So I think it's safe to say they're being guarded by something."

Hime listened to Riley as he showed a genuine interest in her ability to speak to Black Heart. He went on to also explain that he wish he could control his other personalities and the like. One of the personalities reminded the assassin of a certain someone who she hoped she never saw again, but that was a different story for a different time. Himeiji shook her head and smiled and felt that this was another opportunity to uplift the boy and teach him something.
"Well, it wasn't always as easy as it was now. Black Heart was a bit of a rebel when she first came around. However, the more you come in control of your own self, the better you can form a mental bond with the others. I feel that in time, Riley, you'll be able to speak to your others, and create powerful bonds with them. But for right now focus on keeping yourself in check." After their exchange of words, they had arrived at the high mountains. Just like she predicted, there was indeed an entrance to a cave of some sorts, but it was a bit of a steep hill down. Himeiji got out of the driver's seat and made sure to check their equipment. She brought along a backpack, hooks for the each of them, a long thing of rope, rations, and other necessities.
"Alright, well I packed us a good amount of supplies. This all may not be necessary, but you never know. We can always just throw the damn thing at whatever challenges us, should we have to. Anyways, if you're all ready to go, let's get going!" She said happily, looking towards the rest of the mountains. The evil auras were there indeed but Himeiji merely stayed quiet, and watched the scene with a smile. Her eyes were closed as she meditated briefly. She was now totally prepared for anything.
"May our blades strike without fail." She'd pray for all of them and gently stroked the hilt of her blade.

When Hime told him that he would have to learn to control himself Riley sighed. He wasn't exactly the best at that. He seemed to always let his emotions get the best of him. Maybe that's why his other personalities were so much stronger than him. He took a deep breath, if that's what it was going to take he would work at it. It would take some time though.
When they got out the wagon Hime explained that she had packed enough supplies for them, should they need them. " Well then, let's get going!" Riley said. He looked up the mountain, it seemed going through the cave was the safe option. " I have a feeling we want to go into the cave first. You know, I don't feel like breaking a nail too soon." He laughed. When they got through the cave they could hear voices. When they went a little further four people came into view, but they couldn't see them.
Riley ducked behind a large spike coming out the ground. He motioned the other two to follow him. One of them was a mage of some kind wearing a yellow robe. Another seemed too be a strong warrior who was wearing armor. The other seemed to be a very experienced person, who was wearing normal clothes. The fourth one was the weirdest of them all. He was a young boy a bit older than Ren. His aura was darker than the rest, not as dark as Ren's but it was close. He was wearing black lipstick and blue eyeshadow. He had a sword tied to his waist and a hand on his hip. " That's Sasuke," Riley said in a low voice.
" Now let's go through this one more time," Sasuke said. " I don't care how long you all have been looking. You have to keep looking until you find the stone. Acorrding to what legend says there should be a temple should be inside these mountains. This cave is the only way inside."
" But there's so many paths in this place," the mage wined. " We've been looking for days! Why don't you help us!?"
" Because I can't afford to help you!" Sasuke yelled. " I just got my makeup and nails done. As Ren's number one man I have to keep up my appearance." He looked into a small mirror, making sure his makeup was still good. " Besides Ren isn't in a very good mood right now? You three don't want to end up like the last guy who gave Ren bad news do you?" The three shook their heads quickly. " Good then get that stone! From what Ren was told those three could be here any day now! I must run, I have to apply more makeup and get my toes done." He disappeared and the three went off deeper inside the cave.

Riley mentioned the possible breaking of a nail and that caused Himeiji to check her nails and noticed that her nail polish was still intact. She loved the black on white swirls she painted on them. That reminded her of her other accessories, namely her earrings and the rose necklace. She touched them both dearly, as they belonged to her mother all those years ago. A solemn smile took to her lips, but she wouldn't let it shake her resolve. Hime followed behind Seamus and Riley, heading into the cave system.
When entering the cave, Hime could sense the dark auras growing stronger the deeper they went in. Didn't take long for Riley to motion for them to take cover behind a stalagmite, which she did with silent quickness. Four people were present when Himeiji and her group hid to look upon them. The more feminine looking man was with the blade tied to his waist was, Sasuke. When Riley told Hime of his name, she merely nodded, taking in his features, more specifically his aura, and wondered what sort of warrior he was with a blade.
There seemed to have been some sort of disorderly altercation between Sasuke and the other three, but because of this they gave away specific information regarding the stone. There was a shrine of some sorts around here somewhere and the only way to access it was to search through the multiple paths that may or may not have led to it. Sasuke was seemed unwilling to help and disappeared. The other three started on their way deeper into the cave. Once they left, Himeiji turned to face both Seamus and Riley.
"Okay, they have no idea that we've even made it this fast. We still have the element of surprise on our side and if we move quickly, we can exploit it for better use. Those three who just went deeper claimed that they've been traversing the place for days, no? Given that knowledge, we can follow them the way they're going with a little bit of assurance, seeing as they wouldn't go down a path to a dead end a second time. How does that sound?" She asked, wondering if her plan would be an acceptable building block for their strategy to get through the place. Hime wasn't stumped and always knew that if they needed a little more information, they could always confront the opposing search party, and get the info out of them.
