"Aye Aye, Captain!"
I salute him and turn into a cat. I head down below and talk to the man he mentioned. We work together to set up some bombs in the boiler room. The eplosion should be enough to create a large enough hole in the tanker to sink it. It will appear to be a boiler explosion. When my work is done I run up to the deck to Sasha.
"Everything is in place. Let's blow this ship before it blows!"
We jump back onto our small wooden boat and silently paddle away.

Roane looks around and sees that Grove has turned from her. She is cold and still a bit wet. She shivers a bit and covers herself with her arms and hands.
I appreciate that you have the courtesy to turn around and not peer at me and my NAKED condition. But could you make me something to wear for a bit. I mean i can't go around like this and until we get back to the river i will need some clothing. I don't mind being naked but i don't think it appropriate for me to parade around for everyone to see.
She is blushing a deep red and still shivering a bit.

Kinyo-bi hears Violet's voice in his mind, and immediately begins to worry about Mikomi. He transforms into a fox.
Kinyo-bi rushes to the meeting point, getting there before Mikomi. He sees Violet, and another man in the shadows. "It's been awhile, Violet. You're just as beautiful as I remember you being. And cautious as well." He looks at Set, then back to Violet. "I think I know why you are here. You surely must know that Mikomi has allied himself with the rebels, because he believes that Kuro is within Red Infinity. If you ask him to cease and desist, you know he will refuse. I fear he hasn't grown any more stable since the last time you've seen him."
Kinyo-bi transforms back into his human form. "Although I do understand that you have a job to do, I just thought I should warn you."

[glow=red,2,300]I take my time going to the meeting and wait in the bushes while Kinyo-bi talks to her. How dare he say those things about me. Then I understand. He is after he as well. He sees me as competition. He woud like nothing more than to steal my one love away from me. If that demon so much as tries I will kill him as I should have long ago.[/glow]

"Me as well. I do not usually smile because i haven't anything to smile about. But i feel a certain way with you. I had wondered if i might ever feel this again. I had wondered where you were. You dissapeared at the church when we were painting it."
He moved to look at her again. He remembered when she left and then she hadn't returned for a while.
"Chihira tell me...am i the only one who feels a connection...a link between us. Like there was more at some time but that we have repressed?"
He felt as if he were pushing her but he had to know.

Grove stands, realizing how stupid he was.
"Uhh.. Yeah, sorry about that... Stand perfectly still..."
Grove takes a large audible swallow as he turns his hands behind him palms facing the ground beneath Roane. The sand starts to move and tremble. Slowly it begins to form around Roane from all sides, one connecting to the other, slowly forming a solid sheet of sand. Grove arranges the sand to perfection, making the grains perfectly oval so they would not feel rough to Roane's skin.
Slowly a dress forms around her. Intricate in design, and almost a translucent white color from the sand. It is see through in certain places around the lower legs and arms and flows in the wind with a slik feeling white scarf over her shoulders.
Grove turns around and smiles, being glad that he can look at her again.
"I hope this will do..."

"Kinyo-bi, you are wiser than this. You know it is folly to be involved with the rebels. None of you stand any chance against us. It is fine if you want to look for Kuro, but you must look elsewhere. Otherwise I will be forced to send operatives against you and Mikomi...or even his sister. All of you will suffer for this."
I take Kinyo-bi's hand out of friendship.
"Listen to me. Leave Red Infinity alone. For your own good, and the good of those you care about, leave us be. Disaster will come to you if you do not."

We paddle back to the shore. Less than a minute later, there is a great explosion from the tanker. The ship is torn apart by the red and black billowing from within it. We were close enough to feel the heat from the explosion. The shockwave pushes progressively bigger and bigger waves towards our little wooden boat, and we struggle to keep it balanced. Finally, we're safe and sound, and head back to shore. I look behind me, and see several little escape ships, and in the front of them, I see my contact in his own boat.
"Good thing he made it out, he's a good customer... Now let's get back to the apartment."
We paddle back to shore.

Once we get to shore, we burn the boat and take a teleportation booth to Capital City. We start to walk back to the apartment.
"I have a feeling Dinari Dollar's days are numbered now, ha ha ha ha!"
We enter the apartment and I get a soda. I turn into a cat and go to sleep in a sun beam on the carpet. We both pretend like nothing happened. Simona would not be happy.

"Uh...no. I actually kind of felt it too...." She felt a bit embarrassed for some reason "I just didn't tell you about it..."

She twirls a bit and smiles wide.
Oh i love it Grove its beautiful. Its actually ver comfortable too. Watch this.
She twirls around for him. She holds her arms above her head then stops and goes to him.
Thank you for coming to get me. I was so frightened. I had no idea what he wanted.

"For the good of the world, Kuro must be stopped, my lady. I understand the might of Red Infinity, as well as how little chance the rebels have of surviving against them, but if it is indeed true that Kuro resides among your ranks, then you should be as apprehensive as I in supporting such an organization." Kinyo-bi wonders what's taking Mikomi so long.

[glow=red,2,300]I watch as Violet takes Kinyo-bi's hand. Of course she would love him. He pretends to be so wise and calm. I will fix that. How wise and calm he is when he is bleeding to death.[/glow]

"Look at that," whispers a voice in Mikomi's ear, "He's all over her. If that dragon wasn't there they'd probably be rolling in the grass already. You can't let him do that my friend."

I sit down beside cheap paradox, and pet him, he purrs.
"You know, I wish I could do that..."
His body is warm from the sun. I smile at the thought of Dinari Dollar going down from Red Infinity.
