It had been a week since Bee had left Ilia. Elementious was dead and it was all her fault. The man who had killed him, Black Dog, was aiming to slay her. If he would not have stepped in then he would still be alive. However there was another thing weighing heavy on Bee's mind other than the death of her friend. Draco Guro's minions had hunted her down. This was the second time that this had happened and Bee was starting to become a bit worried. They may have given up on there search in Nabata and were now searching other areas. It was because of that Bee had decided that she had spent to much time in Ilia. However now that she was on the plains she started to think that maybe leaving the land of ice was a mistake. Ever since she came to the plains she felt like there had been eyes on her. The plains were so flat that she could see anyone for miles the same thing however can be said about her. For the past three days she has been seeing three dots behind her. The more she traveled the closer these dogs got. When she changed paths the dots also seemed to change direction. For Bee it was a simple matter, she was being hunted.
"Alright what am I going to do", murmured Bee to herself as she sat down in a small tea house. She was lucky to find the place, or rather she thought she was lucky. There was nothing really around here, but the road the tea house was located on was well traveled. So the place seen plenty of business, but had absolutely nothing else around it. Well if you did not count the owners strange house out back and the tent section out front.
The owners house was so strange to Bee due to the fact that it was shaped like a dome. Bee had seen this type of architecture before. There was a small village in Bern that used it. However that was the only place she had seen it. Now once again she has seen it again out in sacae, but the women who owned the place was sacaen. Her skin, eyes, and even clothing told you that. The only strange thing that might suggest that she might have some connection to Bern was her bright orange hair. However hair colors mixed all the time so that was no true identifier.
"Here you go", expunged a chipper young girl as she practically skiped up to Bee's table. The maiden was quite impressed that the young lady had not spilled a single drop of tea nor had she dropped the small plate that sat at the edge of her round carrying dish. "One cup of red tea and two Crimson Demon Buns". With that the maiden walked away and went back to serving other guest.
As Bee looked at her food she began to frown. "Why must they name every little thing after there great heroes", gruffled Bee as she picked up her Demon Bun and took a chomp out of it. "Humm, it is good." As Bee ate her food she waited for the dots to show themselves.

Yakumo had been wandering around in Sacae looking for any type of work that she could do just to make her some quick gold for her return trip back to her "home" in Ilia but she was unable to find any such work here, any work that she could do, most of the jobs here would want her to to join some army but such a lifestyle isn't something that Yakumo would want to do.
Yakumo pulled out one of her books to read then sighed and started to talk to herself.
"Guess there isn't anything to do here, well then it's time to find another way back to Ilia but I shouldn't worry about it for now, let's spend abit long around here, I'm in no hurry to get back home."
Yakumo was tired of all the traveling and walking that she has been doing and started looking around for a place to make a stop for the time being before heading out again. Yakumo searched round and found a tea house just down the road she was on. Happy at the fact she found a place to rest for sometime she began to run down to the tea house and went inside to take a look around and found a place to sit down.
"All I need is a glass of water and nothing more."
Yakumo started to read from her books while waiting for her glass of water and while reading she took a look around at the people that were already here. While Yakumo like to keep to herself she was pretty bored of looking around Sacae and guess this would be a good time to ask if there is anywhere she could work at. Yakumo got up and started asking if there was any forms of work available for her to do but was told that they didn't have anything that she could do so she went back to reading her book while waiting for her drink or something to happen around here.

As Bee snacked on her Demon Bun and drunk her red tea she noticed a new person enter the tea house. She was alone, and thus Bee knew she could not be a member of the figures that were hunting her. Still thought the women seemed a bit out of place. She came into the tea house and asked only for water. Why only water, thought Bee. It was a tea house after all. Why did she not order ... oh, thought the maiden as he assumption was proven correct. The maiden got up and started to ask around for work. So she was broke thought Bee to herself. It was not something she did not a situation that Bee did not find herself in on more than one occasion. As a matter of facts go she kind of pitied the young maiden. It was hard enough to travel the road and even harder to travel the road with no money.
"Excuse me", announced Bee as she got the waitress attention. She then placed another order. The maiden made her way off back toward the kitchen. After five minutes she came out with another glass of tea, four Crimson Demon Buns, and a kettle of Red tea.
"Here you go maam", spoke the Waitress as she placed the items down in front of Yakumo. She knew the maiden would be confused, but she needed to put the stuff down before she explained. As she poured the cup of tea the maiden began to explain the situation to the shaman. "The dearest over yonder", she chuckled as she looked at Bee silently drinking her tea. "Ordered this for you. She told me to tell you that the Crimson Demon Buns were delicious and that if you wanted advice for making money to go talk to her. Now if you will excuse me", spoke the maiden as she walked back to serving other customers. Bee simply sat there keeping a eye on the entrance to the tea house.

Yakumo looked over at the mage the mage and wondered why that this waitress would just go up to her and give her something that she didn't order, she had the money to pay for something like this but she choose not to as she wanted to save her money for her next trip and was about to speak up to her until she pointed that the person over there was the one who ordered the food and drink for her, Yakumo still wondered why some random person would pay for something she didn't ask for.
Before she could ask the waitress why that person asked her to give Yakumo the tea and food she had already left to serve the other people that were already here. A little annoyed by this and got up to speak to the person that ordered her and find out why she did such a thing for her. Yakumo wasn't angry at her but more confused by this act of kindness to her and walked up to the table that the person was sitting at and began to speak to her.
"I must ask at to why you ordered me that food and drink, if it's because you think I'm poor well I have my own money to use and I choose not to get the food and drinks, my reasons for looking for work are my own but if there is nothing else then I'll be going back to my studies. Oh and I guess thanks for the stuff."
After getting that out of the way Yakumo returned to her table and resumed her studies on magic while eating her food that she got from that person. She didn't bother asking her name since she doubt they would meet again.

"Have you ever been to Nabata", asked Bee suddenly as the women finished talking. "In nabata it is customary to offer a gift to a person before you begin negotiations. In the desert it is called custom, but out here it is called a bribe. I am going to be blunt with you. I heard you asking around for work and I have something in mind. I asked the maid to ask you if you wanted some advice on making money. That question was simply to gauge on how you would react. If you came off too desperate I would have simply shared a tip and went on my way. I don't need the desperate. I would feel like I was taking advantage of you if I did. What I need however is a extra hand in dealing with a problem of mine. However before I go into that I would need to know if you can fight. Because my problem is more than likely to lead to a fight and one that I am sure I can't win on my own."
Bee stopped for a moment and placed her spell tome on the table. The golden letters on the book read Volcanon. For those verse in magic they would know it as the most powerful fire tome that could be found in the hands of normal men and women. The only one exceeding its power would be the legendary forblaze. The very fire spell used by the legendary hero Athos and the one that has been lost to time. What Bee would pay to get a hold of that tome.
"As you can see I am a mage and a good one at that. I specifically specialize in fire magic. Destructive force is my specialty. However the problem I will face might be a bit beyond me."

Yakumo looked back over at the mage as she asked Yakumo if she has ever been to Nabata, Yakumo didn't really care about going to Nabata since she had better things to do then go to a place like that and allowed the mage to finish speaking before replying to what she said.
To Yakumo, the mage was looking for some type of bodyguard which Yakumo wasn't a fan of doing, to her protecting and dying for some person she didn't know is a waste of life to her but waited to hear her out on the rest of her story and saw that she had a Volcanon tome on the table, while it might mean something to other magic users, to a shaman like Yakumo, Anima magic meant nothing to her at the moment, besides, to Yakumo dark magic is the best form of magic and there was nothing anyone could say that will change that but after hearing her out she began to think to herself for a few seconds and then starting to give her set of mind on what she said.
"So you are wanting me to come with for and help you out? Well while I have reason to obey that request I guess I can follow you around for abit but know this. I have no plans on dying for you. I'm joining you for now simply because you asked me to come with you and I have nothing better to do right now, but now for what reason are you showing me this tome of Volcanon to me? Are you wanting to fight me or something, because don't have time for such pointless fighting. Oh and as for your question of if I can fight, well I can hold my own in a fight, simple as that."
Yakumo stood there with her tome at her side, ready for anything to happen.

Be looked at the maiden for a moment. She did not understand. Bee had brought the tome out as to give the maiden a idea of what she would be facing. If Bee could not handle her problem with a fire tome of this caliber then it should serve as a warning toward the danger. It was in this moment that Bee was beginning to understand that the two of them did not think on the same wavelength. She would have to be more direct with her approach from now on. To be honest she probably should have done that to begin with.
"Excuse me, it seems that I have made a error in thinking that my jesters could convey my meaning. So instead I will be blunt and to the point. On my trip here I noticed three shadowy figures following my trail. So far they have not caught up to met yet, but by mid day I was sure they would be upon me. Thus the reason why I stopped here rather than simply walking past. The reason I placed the tome on the table was to give you a idea of the danger of the job I was asking you to do. I do not need you to protect me from a extended period of time. I just need you to aid me in a fight that I am sure will happen in the next hour. The reason why I asked if you could fight was because I did not know if you used magic or not. Your tome was hidden to me and as a result I could not infer your ability."
Bee paused for a moment to let all of that sink in. "Alright let me give you a proper introduction. My name is Bee. B E E, spelled just like the insect, but minus the stinging. I am a fire mage from nabata and I currently have three people trailing me. If I had to make a guess they are all probably dark magic users. A old acquaintance of mine seems to have a thing for me and I am going to have to be rid of his minions. So Miss..., I don't think I have your name yet? Well what I wanted to ask is if you would aid me in getting rid of these interlopers. There is a three hundred gold in it if you do."

Yakumo listened to the mage's story of being hunted by someone for some reason but she didn't care why as she could easily choose what to do next and continued to hear her out on her story. After listening to the first part of her story she began to speak.
"Alright, so you want me to help you fight off a group of hunters that are trying to kill you well I'll think about it for a moment and tell what I'll do, but if there is anything else you need to tell me well just keep talking."
Yakumo started listening again to the mage that called herself Bee, Yakumo didn't care that her name was the same as an insect and learned that the person was a fire mage from the lands of Nabata but Yakumo would probably forget about this person if she decided not to help her but if she did....might still forget about her in the future as she has better things on her mind at the moment but then the mage began to talk about what they were going to face in battle when the time comes and learned that from what she's saying is that it would be dark magic users, fighting dark magic user's was not a problem for someone like Yakumo but after hearing everything this person had said, she began to give her reply.
"Alright I have heard what you have to say to here is what I have to say. First off, I don't care about your gold, I still have enough to keep me going for some time, I was merely looking for something to do so I can get a trip to Ilia and still have enough money for my own plans throughout Ilia but I'm wasting time now so will I help you when the time comes....I'm not going to yet, I'm going to see what we would be going up against so I'll wait here until they arrive."
After getting done talking, Yakumo finally returns to her table and starts reading again.

So the deal was made, thought Bee. However it seemed like the women had a sour spot for gold. Bee's little gift must have left a bad impression on her. Well it did not matter in the end. She was going to help and that was all that Bee needed. If the women did not want gold for doing Bee a solid that just meant that Bee had more money to spare in the end. Still Bee had to wonder if the two of them could handle the men coming after them. IF they were anything like Black Dog, no. Draco would not send another one of his pets. Back Dog had retreated that meant that he was licking his wounds somewhere. More than likely these men were Black Dogs lackeys.
Taking a bit out of her last Bund Bee resided herself to ignorance. All of this does not matter, she thought. They were coming after me and as a result they have to be eliminated. It is what it is, the best way to put it. So instead of thinking about who the people were Bee simply sat back in her chair and enjoyed her tea.
Less than thirty minutes later three figures showed up at the tea house. The first wore a pitch black leather jacket and had a pair of black slacks. On his hip was attached a tome dedicated to the black arts. His long hair ran all the way down to his waist and he had a aura of dread all around him. The next man who walked in was your stereotypical shaman. He wore a long black robe with a hood. His book was not visible, but it was clear of what type of magic he used. The last was a women. She wore a black dress that hugged in all the right places and dropped for the right effect. Her tome was firmly latched to her side and from what Bee could tell it was the tome mire. A advance dark magic tome. If you were to put it to scale it would be equal to Bee's Volcanon but instead used in the element of darkness.
"Excuse me", spoke the maiden as she walked in front of the two male shamans. She walked up to a nearby table and took a seat. Her eyes dashed over to Bee who was simply playing stupid and drinking her tea. "Can we have some green tea and some rice cakes", she whispered to the waitress. Her eyes fixed on Bee to see if the girls expression would change. However the maiden stayed the same.
The two individuals who walked in with her took a seat on the opposite sides of the room. There position held both the the corners and the middle.

Yakumo moved one eye over to them while reading her book at the same time to see what type of level these guys are on and could tell this would be a pretty stressful and if the mage didn't have a good plan for these fight she would just simply back out, as she stated that she wouldn't put her life on the line for her and started to write on a piece of paper and pretended to have dropped it on the ground and used her foot to send it rolling at Bee's feet, hoping that she would pick up the piece of paper though if she didn't then she would why Bee didn't pick up the piece of paper since she was being watched like a hawk watches it's prey. Though if she were to pick up the note and read it and hoped that she would give a sign of when to move, unless it was a plan that could easily go bad then she would simply just stay seated unless one of the shamans provoked her into fight. Yakumo started to think to herself about how this fight could go down.
*So this is it huh. Well all I can hope for it that this person can come up with a good plan, this person isn't some fool that won't pick a fight that she can't win, I hope. If she didn't have a plan well I have no plans on throwing my life away here for this person, not while I still have much to do in this world,but for now let's see how this will play out.*
Yakumo returned to reading her book, waiting for what to happen next.

So they are here, thought Bee to herself as she watched the trio enter. They wasted no time identifying Bee and then spreading out in a effort to make sure she did not escape. Bee did not think the trio would attack her in the shop, but then again Black Dog had attacked them right outside of a Inn. These cultist did not seem like the smartest of people. NO it was more like they were so fanatically devoted to there leader that there lives did not matter. Bee had to wonder what did Draco do to these people. Then again what was he planning on doing to her. IF she had not left like she did then maybe she would be one of these henchmen blocking the exit to some tea house.
As Bee prepared herself to make her move she noticed the other maiden slide something toward her way from the ground. It was a bit to obvious to her. Bee would have to lean down to pick it up and the other guys would most definitely notice. At the same time however Bee could use this to her advantage. Sliding her hand down to her bag Bee reached in and pulled out a object. With a flick of her thumb she armed it and then leaned down to pick the paper up. The man with the jacket got up and began to move her way. It was during this time that Bee not only grabbed the paper but tossed the little object she had. The object bounced across the floor and landed under a nearby table. "Hold your breath", shouted Bee suddenly!
"What the", question the obvious Shaman as he looked down at the object. His eyes widen when he saw what it was, but before he could say anything it blew up like a bomb. Suddenly and without warning to anyone else smoke filled the room. Tables were turned over and shouting erupted inside of the tea house. The dark cloud was so dense that you could practically choke on it.
"Damn that witch", roared the stereotypical shaman as he pushed his way out of the smoke cloud. As he exited the tea house he looked up to see Bee smiling at him. The maiden had her iron rod at the ready and her tome heating up the tip.

Yakumo could tell that he had something planned but still didn't have any idea of what it was and so Yakumo waited until she saw her drop something on the ground so that gave Yakumo an idea of what's going to happen next. Yakumo began to think to herself.
*So it seems that whatever it was that she dropped was going to be part of the plan, well let's see what this thing she drop can do.*
Yakumo kept on reading her books until it she saw that one of the shamans had gotten up and started to walk over to the mage until she heard her yelled "hold your breath" and Yakumo did just that and then suddenly the room blew up in smoke. Yakumo saw that is the thing they need to get an advantage but now hard the hard part, taking care of the shaman. Yakumo stood up and grabbed her bag and books and left the tea house to get some clear sight and air and saw that one of the shamans and Bee were already outside, about to get ready to fight each-other in battle. Yakumo took a look around for the other shamans, waiting for them to show themselves. While looking for them Yakumo also took a look around the tea house to see what she could use to her advantage and started to think to herself.
*Guess it seems I'm stuck helping this person now, oh well this shouldn't be that hard of a fight, as long as they don't know what their doing that is.*

"Mess with the Bee and you get stung", shouted Bee as she stabbed forward with her heated iron rod. The shaman was caught of guard by the attack. He began to call upon the power of the darkness, but his spell would never get off in time. Before Bee's heated rod could connect a orb of darkness flew out of the smoke and slammed into her rod. The blast knocked the weapon out of her hand and sent it flying five feet away. What the", Bee started, but before she could finish the long haired man with crimson eyes jumped out of the smoke. With the speed of the wind the man delivered a punch straight to Bee's jaw before she could even react. The force of the blow caused her to take several steps back.
"Thanks a lot Stands With Fist", chuckled the stereotypical shaman as he fired off a bolt of dark magic. Bee was still stunned from the blow to the jaw and as a result she was unable to dodge the dark magic. The ball of darkness rammed into her at full force. Its dark energy ravaged both her mind band body. Bee let out a unholy scream as the dark magic did its work.
Unknown to the two enemies attacking Bee the feeling of dark magic surging thought her body had awaken a long forgotten memory. The maidens mind drifted back to the days she was Draco's pet. She thought of the long hours she spent in the dark and the horror of not knowing what was actual darkness and what was magic. Fear was ever present, but eventually she over came it. The dark no longer seemed scary, but before she could truly adapt to it Draco would always pull her out into the light.
Heavy breathing filled the air as Bee recovered from there attack.
"Told you she was resistant", spoke Stands With Fist as he prepared to charge at her again.

Yakumo watched as the shaman and mage battled it out and at first it seems that the mage was going to land a hard blow of the shaman until she was punched and blasted by dark magic ans saw that the mage was going to most likely lose this fight if Yakumo didn't join in but what she was worried about where was the third shaman. Was he waiting for Yakumo to make a move so he can could attack her from behind. A surprise attack would only work on Yakumo if she didn't know it was coming, as long as Yakumo was on her guard she wouldn't be hit by a random bolt of magic anytime soon. Yakumo pulled out her flux tome and found a place to safely fire off her tome and began to think about her next choice of action while also charging a bolt of dark magic.
*Guees it seems that the mage can't hold his own alone, no matter I'll show them the power of true dark magic from a pro like me*
Yakumo looked around for the last shaman and couldn't see him anywhere but Yakumo knew he would attack soon so she needed to hurry and fire off one shot before he strikes. Yakumo began to chant under her breath as she charged her spell.
"O great shadow of the void, grant me the power needed to send my enemy to the black void and have their soul suffer at the fury of your power."
Yakumo then shouted aloud.
"Shadow Shot!"
Yakumo fired off her bolt of dark magic at one of the shamans, hoping to take down one of them with only one blow.

At the moment Bee's vision was slightly blurred. The dark magic had done some damage, but she was still standing. However her insides felt like they had been baked out in the sun for three hours and then shoved back inside her in all of the wrong places. Needless to say Bee was not feeling a hundred percent at the moment. Stands With Fist however had no intention of letting her rest. He rushed forward with his fist ready. His aim was to take down the maiden with another series of punches and then let his friend hit her up with another ball of dark magic. As he charged foreard the third and final shaman stepped outside of the now dissipating smoke. She looked on with glee as she saw the injuries left on the maiden.
"Remember he wants her alive", she shouted as the dark magic attack slammed into Stands With Fist. The ball of energy hit with enough force to knock the man off his feat and sending him toppling to the ground. "What in the world!" The maiden quickly turned to see were the magic was coming from. Her eyes looked to see where there second enemy was hiding.
"Just what I needed", whispered Bee to herself! The maiden began to call upon the spirits of fire to gather in front of her hand. The other shaman however did not loss focus. After his friend hit the sand the man only looked in the direction of the blast once and then turned his attention back toward Bee. He quickly finished his chant and called upon the forces of darkness.
"Die", he shouted as the dark magic flew from his book and speed toward Bee. However the maiden had already prepared a attack of her own. As the ball of black energy seeped into the earth Bee jumped forward. The black energy came up and enveloped the place where she was standing before missing her by a small margin. The maiden released her fire bolt toward the man. Quickly he jumped to the side in a effort to dodge the attack. However the ever vigilant bee was already in motion. Grabbing a nearby chair Bee tossed the wooden object toward the man. As he prepared his tome for another shot the chair hit him in the chest and sent him falling toward the ground.
As Bee and the shaman struggled. The third Shaman had pulled out her mire tome and released forth a blast of dark magic from her own hand. The blast was aimed toward the maiden who shot at her comrade.
