Continued from Lowering Hell
In the distance one could see that the duel between Louis and the Water Demon had finished, the victor was something more difficult to pick. Although it would become apparent that the next demon had taken her place on the dueling stage and from what one could see in the distance it was Alchino, the demon of light. This, Alexander saw from his vantage point where Takuto lay against the wall of the main building and Issy stood next to him, they had only just escaped the area as the duel with the demon of water had begun and Alexander was now trying to block out the pain from the burns on his back. He sat down next to Takuto he still remained unconcious and wondered what they should do next. It seemed just plain stupid to sit and wait but with the condition they were all in it seemed the only option.
"You should sit down, take the pressure of you're ankle..." He said to Issy.

Issy had been limping slowly the whole way to the main building, rather annoyed at being drenched in water, angry at being made a fool of, even though it was by someone who knew all sorts of magic things which she couldn’t hope to understand, and even more angry by the fact that she still seemed to come across as weak, and needing other people. Of course with these sorts of emotions pent up inside her tiny self, she was rather dazed, and confused. She hadn’t looked back over her shoulder to see what might be going on, and really she didn’t care too much. She was just glad to have been able to escape it all, and in one piece.
”Oh, yeah.”[/color] She mumbled back to Alexander, before lying back on the ground, not really bothering to try and sit up. Her ankle still hurt quite badly, and she was fighting back just crying about it, something in her mind telling her that crying wouldn’t make any difference anymore, there where more important things going on now, and she should just be quite.

Giving a slight shudder, the cold water finally reached Takuto and he woke rather unwillingly. He had been having a rather vivid dream that had ended too soon for his taste. Slowly taking in his surroundings, it seemed that only Alexander and the Ra student Alexander had protected were there. Slowly standing up to stretch, he gave a yawn and said, "I guess the academy can't hide the secret of the spirits anymore after that display. So what's the news?" Takuto was in a cheery mood, partly because he had managed to defeat Farfarello and because he was unaware of what had happened during his sleep, assuming the matter was over since they were all safe together.

Alexander turned to see that Takuto was awoke and he smilled with relief, he actually thought he'd lost the only friend he'd managed to make thus far. That certainly wouldn't have been a good start. He motioned to where the duels raged on back over near the courtyard and spoke with a hoarse tone to his voice.
"The Water Demon challenged another Ra Student, that duel is finished but we don't know by whom. The light demon is still over there, you can see that quite clearly."
He turned to face Issy, now lying on the ground. The girl from his own dorm whose name he still hadn't managed to find out. He wondered if Takuto knew her, but then again if he did he probably would have mentioned it before. It was obvious she was in pain and so he moved over to her, trying to figure out exactly what was wrong.
"What happened to you back there?"

Down the hallway came sprinting another Ra Yellow. Her hair was dissheveled and she was soaked, along with her blazer still being at another person's room and her skin being slightly chilled because of said person's predicament. However, Mizuki Haruka was currently running as a messenger... because she only knew Alex by name and by sight from coming out of his dorms. She had seen him flee with the other two towards the infirmary, and so that was where she went.
When she got there, she was out of breath and hanging over, however she looked up and saw the three of them in the corner. She looked at the girl, and then to Takuto, who's name had been said, to Alex. She smiled lightly and tiredly.
"Oh g-g-g-good..." Her speech was starting to get strained and nervous once again. "Y-Y-You're okay..." She said. She was now, with the adrenaline rushing off, turning back to that sweet and shy girl... and wasn't quite sure if she'd be able to speak at all in a few minutes.
"Y-Y-You are alright, right?" She asked worriedly. "Wh-Wh... how is everything?"

Alexander turned from his spot at Issy's side and looked towards to source of the voice he had just heard to find the purple haired Ra girl he had seen so distressed back at the courtyard. He thought he'd heard her name before but he couldn't remember it exactly. It was something like Miziki or something along those lines. Regardles he attempted a smile and motioned towards Takuto.
"He just woke up, he seems alright though."
Then he motioned towards Issy's ankle. It was suprisingly large but Alexander should have expected that, his mum had broken her ankle once and although he wasn't sure about what Issy had done to herself it looked very similar.
"This is the worst of what we've got here. That and a few burns from that demon that possesed Hibana."
He wondered what the purple haired girl was doing here. It seemed strange to hi m that she should come all this way without reason and so he looked over her for signs of what she would say next.
"Whose with you? Is everyone all right?" [/size]

"Th-The one that- that he fought..." and at this she waved her hand towards Takuto, "s-she's with my friend at her dorm. Th-The water one, he's free... he's resting a-at his own dorm... I... The F-Fire one is gone... an-and the light one... we barely escaped." She said quietly. "B-But she got someone..."
She bowed her head towards Alex and started squeezing her hands into a clasped position.
"I-I'm... I thought... I would find you... m-make sure you're alright... an-and tell you what was going on."

Takuto was feeling even more cheerful as the Ra student mentioned all the defeated spirits until she said the light spirit had taken a victim. After hearing that, Takuto became more serious and said, "So that means we have Earth and Light left. Do you know what happened to the victim?"
Takuto hoped he hadn't been recruited into the ranks of those fiends, as with their numbers dwindling down very rapidly, it had seemed for a brief period that humanity would have trumped over the demi-gods. He also pondered slightly about the well being of both the duelists and the hosts, remembering how in his duel both suffered.

Alexander nodded slowly, trying to take in what he knew. the fact that someone had lost to these demons worried him more than he would have originally expected. He probably didn't even know the person who it was but already he held immense fear for their wellbeing. In a way he'd thought it would be simple, good would triumph over evil and the world would return to normal, but that was looking less and less likely.
"Well then... Thanks for coming, do you want to rest here a little longer? You don't sound to well..."
He motioned for her to sit down if need be, moving himself from a sport against the wall. In his mind thoughts raced about what would happen next. Light and Earth still roamed freely without any method of control. The question arose in how they would find them, let alone defeat them. [/size]

She looked towards the guy that had saved that girl, and she sighed quietly. "Th-The b-boy was turned into one of Alichino's e-earings." She murmered. "It-It seems that she uses h-her victims as t-trinkets."
She then found herself looking towards Alexander and then she bowed lowly. "N-No! I'm fine... I-I just ran, be-because I need to get back to... I'm c-caring for the Water one." She said with a soft smile. "Th-Thank you for your concern though." She then went to the door, and she looked at Issy with another smile.
"G-Get better!" She tried to say cheerfully, before she started to run off.

Issy looked up, fairly unhappily as another girl came running into view. She ankle still hurt pretty badly, though she wasn’t sure in the slightest wait she had managed to do to it, she just hoped it wasn’t going to prove to be too bad. ”It’s hurts.”[/color] She said quietly when she was asked how she was, before looking down at the ground again, feeling awfully cold, for being soaked. She wanted to be able to dry off somewhere, but she couldn’t quite figure out where she would be able to actually go. She wouldn’t really be able to get back to her dorm to be able to find other clothes without help at the minute, and even at that she didn’t particularly want to have to move again. Instead she just shivered, quite a bit.
She heard that the other demons where getting defeated, but could only really get words like ‘water’, and ‘light’ out of it, which didn’t match up with anything else which existed in her head, therefore she had no real idea as to what was happening. She fell quiet again. As the other girl hurried off again, she decided to speak. ”Wh-what was going on there?”[/color] She asked, was something happening which she wasn’t aware of, was it like the shadow realm thing as well, she didn’t like the idea of that, not on bit.
[OOC: Issy isn't good with pain, so is making out her ankle to be a lot worse than it really is]

Turning back after hearing the Ra behind them ask a question Takuto said in a grim tone, "The good news is that so far all the spirits except for Earth and Light have been defeated. Bad news is that the Light Spirit has beaten a person and taken him hostage by transforming him into an earing." Noticing that the girl was shivering, Takuto went to where he was sleeping a few minutes ago and grabbed his backpack, reaching inside for the supplies he had gathered for his hike.
Takuto gave a small smile and said to her, "Here's a blanket you can use, I was on my way to a hike before I heard the lightning and decided to investigate. The best thing you can do for everyone at the moment is to relax so you can heal. By the way I'm Takuto and this is Alexander if you didn't know already."

Issy looked across at the other boy, the one who had been unconscious. He had handed her a blanket, which she wrapped tightly around herself, still shivering. She was still lost, even with the answers which had been supplied to her from what she had asked, she still didn’t really know too much about what was happening around her, but she was pretty sure most other people did, which made her feel quite left out, everyone else knew what they where talking about, how had she managed to miss it all?
”My name’s Issy.”[/color] She replied, her voice at it’s normal quiet level. She looked back down at the ground again, becoming quiet again rather quickly. She didn’t know what to do anymore, she felt quite lost now. All she needed was something she could actually do now, instead of sitting here, though she wasn’t too sure she would want to try walking again right away.

Takuto barely managed to catch her name. "Well then Issy, looks like its best we all stay here for a while, since rushing into things would only lead into more trouble." Turning to face Alexander, he caught sight of his burns and Takuto felt slightly even more depressed. Looks he had missed quite a bit during his nap.
"Hey Alexander, I have a spare blanket you can have and some cream for those burns." Luckily, he had anticipated getting burned when he was packing for his hike to face the fire spirit and packed some cream. After handing the objects to Alexander, he began sitting down against the wall, thinking what he should do next. Light was probably nowhere near as he could hear no more lightning and he wouldn't be able to identify the earth spirit.. things just seemed to get worse as their number decreased...

Alexander acceped the cream and the blanket graciously and immediately began to apply the cream to his back vigourously. Almost immediately the pain seemed to numb and for the first time in an hour or so he could focus completly on the situation at hand. Not that there was all that much to focus on, here they were in the middle of a battle between the forces of good and evil, completely helpless.
"You're right..."
And although Alexander knew it would be a stupid decision, he couldn't help but consider going off to find the remaining two demons. Issy was in no condition to be going anywhere and Takuto still seemed weak from his duel with Farfello. It seemed as though the academy, or even Domino City would need every duelist at hand if they stood any chance of taking down the last two demons. He shook his head, he hadn't dueled in months, what chance did he have of besting a Demon that had already beaten an Obelisk Student?
"I think... Takuto, Issy... Will you two be alright here together?" [/size]
