Reavns looked at her patient, and took her offered hand. Though she stayed suspisious. She had never heard of the planet of Japan. Could this person be a spy? Or an authoreity? She flipped the hand she was hloding so she could now see her wrist and still hold her so she couldn't get away. She murmered to herself, "No brand to idicate servitude....hmm." She turned the hand every witch way, still looking for any kind of mark that would give her... Kadea?... away. Reavns found nothing, to her extreme annoyance. She threw down the hand, and paced. "Who are you? Where do you come from? Why are you here. Why did I find you half dead on the streets? And I ask you again, why should I trust you in this house?"

Kadea waited until the girl was finishe dchecking for brands, it was normal in her land for peoplr to check for slave brands. " Well my...lady." Kadea hesitated wondering what this girls official title was. Was she a Duchess, a Princess, a Queen? She was a leader no mistake about that. Kadeas eyes swept the room falling on a strange banner on the wall in bright red writeing that she could not read. Beneath it was a table and on the table her weapons. "First you need not worry about me being a slave, for it tis not so. I am a...solider...to the emporer. She said this slowly she did not want to alert the girl to what her true job was until she knew where she was and who she was dealing with. " And I told you I am from Japan the empire of the riseing sun; Hokkaido the village of Onishika to be exact." She walked over to her swordbelt and with out makeing a move towards her weapon she handed her a hand drawn picture from the pouch tied to her belt. She watched the girls face for any sign of a reaction or recognition. "As for why i'm here...well i'm not really sure...I was rideing through the woods outside my village, my sister Umi was supposed to meet me,..when the earh jolted and from the sky descended a great dragon which swallowed me and carried me here, he must not have liked the tatse cause he spat me back out." She explained a bit breathlessly, she leaned on the table and continued to talk to the girl her right hand drifting slowly towards her sword hilt. Her fingers brushed it's worn grip and a small smile touched her lips as she found a grip.

She listened to all that was said, paying heed when she faultered in her words. Reavns watched her with mild cation. She was no untrianed worrier, that was certain. "I do not know this, Japan. And whatever else you say to me about your home planet is damn usless." She looked to where the strangeres eyes flickered to and set on her banner and wepons. *Well, at least I'll be prepared if she tries anything funny... speak of the devil.* Reavns watched as Kadea slowly reached for her... stick of steel?... without realy looking. When she saw her former patient's hand tighten on the end of it, she whiped around and grabbed two muffled 56 shooters. Quicker than a cat, she rounded on her enemy and aimed for her thoat. "Tell me who you are, or I will shoot you." She readied her shooters, making a very threatening noise. She stared at the woman with cold indiference. "I've killed many, don't think because I'm a girl, I won't nail you to. And, for the record, do not call me 'lady'. I....offend... easily."

Kadea stared in surprise, her test had worked she had noticed but what were these things that the woman now held at her throat. Her hand moved towards the pouch smoothly as if she had never been reaching for her sword at all and fished out a simple one peace bronze coin. She stepped away from the belt and held the coin out in her otherwise empty palm. "I just wanted to thank you for your hospitallity, MISS Cat. I am Kades and you are obviously a worthy oppenent. In my land that would be considered an honor. I served in for the emporer and...disposed of...any unwanted neussances." She said delicately playing mind games with this Cat and hopeing it wouldn't get her killed. " I am surprised that you have not herd of Japan it is one of thee most beautiful places on this Earth. Tell me I have never herd of the village Zefta were is it? " She asked smileing just slightly. She herd a click and saw the womans finger move and instictively dive rolled....

Reavns cocked an eyebrow, "Why are you so desperate to get information? Why don't you know this place? I am not unfamiliar with interogations, MISS Kedea. I think that I've wasted anough time here." She watched as the woman went into a roll and out with enough grace to be respected for, given the tiny space. "You are strange, and a stranger. One of my friends will be in here to watch you while I go about my business. Perhapes you could get a few answeres out of him. I have errands to run. And I'm late." She called out to a boy called Dart. He was the third best shooter in her gang, the second also being out running 'errends'. The boy came and listened to his instuctions and stood by the door, holding two new laser shooters. She turned again to her 'captive'. "You are not allowed out of this room, you will not try and take over my friend, he has been given instructions to kill you if you give a fuss. Please don't make that a nisessity, I still have much to learn from you. Asta la Vista."

Kadea heaved a heavy sigh and watched the girl leave. She placed her hands behind her back and the boy that the girl had called Dart raised his...weapons towards her. His guns fallowed her as she walked slowly over to her belt. Just as strange glowing bug tried to bite her hand but missed. She half turned towards the boy raiseing an eyebrow, not doubting for a second that the...bite had come from his weapon. "That was a warning. Next time I won't miss" He said the other weapon raised, licking his lips and watching her with wild eyes. "Relax...It's Dart isn't it?" She questioned pernounceing the name with some difficulty. He nodded blinking and switching his footing to what Kadea recognised as a ready stance. She smiled disarmingly " Well Master Dart, perhapps you can shed some light as to where I am? I assure you that I can reward you greatly." His ears perked up at the mention of a reward. "How many cards are we talking" He questioned looking suspicious, his weapon hand trembleing. He's scared? Kadea wondered lightly, but why would he be scared of me? Perhapps it is this Cat person he is scared of? Could she be a threat? Kadea thought. "Cards what are cards all's I have is this, she reached for her pouch and pulled out another bronze piece like the first one and extended her hand towards him steping away from the belt. He walked towards her keeping his gun trained at her head. He made a quick grabed for it but Kadea withdrew her hand, closeing her fingers over the coin, and looking amusedily at him. "Tell me were I am first." She said softly totaly unaware that face value of her coin in this strange world would buy Cat a whole new arsenal. But Dart knew it, he had seen coins like that before in museums and knew that any collector would pay highly to have one. He licked his lips again muling it over. If he told he knew cat would kill him but on the other hand he would be very rich, no more of this life in hidden tunnels, he could buy a place of his own and a nice hoovercar and live in luxury for the rest of his days, his descision made he lowered his gun. " You are on the planet Zefta in the hide out of the ..." But Kadea held up her hand her eyes narrowed staring at the reflective one way mirror in front of her and having no idea what it was. " Did you say planet?" She questioned, she was a solider but she was no fool, she knew that earth was a planet as well....but if this was not Earth then were in the galexy was she. hundreds of questions buzzed hrough her mind and she sat on teh edge of the pallet, looking overwelmed. The boy nodded his gun at his waist now, stareing at her hand carnivorusly. "Tell me, were is Earth from here" She asked regaining some of her composure. " Earth...it blew up mellinia ago." He said with a shrugg makeing a grabb for the girls hand and finding no resistance. He took the coin as the girl looked shocked. "Blew up!?" She said a bit faitly and he nodded with out looking up from examineing his coin. Kadea felt faint, here family was...gone erraticated...her home also gone. "Were there any survivors?" SHe asked hopefully, and the boy gave her a strange look. "Of course there were!" He caught the hopeful look on her face. "but none from your age, I think. If i'm right your from the 16th centruy right?" He asked and watched as her face fell and she nodded. " humm I thought as much. Cat will be interested to know that your from the past, but how did you get here?" He asked curious now as to hoe this anchient warrior came to be before him. She explained slowly but gradually became stronger. She was a warrior in the future now and there was much she had to learn. She walked over to her belt and strapped it on. She looked up at the boy and to him it seemed that she had aged considerably since she had sat down on the pallet. She paced thousands of questions running through her mind..... Hours opast and no one disturbed her as she questioned Dart endlessly.

Reavns draged her treasure. She didn't have the strenth to hold it upright. She knew she was loosing blood, and fast. She had to go faster. It seemed for a minute that her step became quickened, but it soon was back to the strugling shuffle she had claimed before. "I've got to get there!!" She yelled to herself, imidiatly regreting it. She didn't have the energy to do things like that, and now her head pounded. Her left arm lay uslessly by her side, dripping blood from a bulett wound in her under arm. There are alot of veins there...
She rounded the bend in the tunnles. Hope stung her eyes. "Dart! Crow! Boss! Please... I'm-" She couldn't go on, for at that moment, her knees decided to give way. *They can't see me like this!!* The rush of adrenaline was what got her to her feet. She had the strenth to lean against the door and knock quietly. When the door opened though, she fell through.
"Cat! What the hell happened? Lords of Light!! Your white!" He touched her face. His eyes widened. "Get Boss!!" He came running through the hall. "Cat!" He helped her to her feet and took the bagade, looked inside, then at her with immense respect in his eyes. Reavns said weakly, "You owe me big time, Boss." One of the guys slung one of her arms accross his shoulders, and helped her to the infirmerary, where Kadea was. She looked at Dart, wondering why he looked so smug. She'd have to question him about it later. As soon as her body hit the soft bed, she fell unconsiouse,knowing she was among friends. Thought that woman, she didn't know about...

"Oh This is the planet Zefta. are you sure you are allright?" The man spoke but Lilith bearly heard. She was on a different Planet? What had happened to her? She stummbled into his shoulder and the stress of the day and travel caught up with her. She heard a muffled curse as she blacked out in his arms.

Kadea helped boss get Cat unto the pallet. As she took her hand away she found it to be covered in blood. Gently she moved the injured arm aside and glanced at the nasty wound, ammeddiately jumping into action. But as she grabed a set of pliers from the steel side table her wrist was siezed by Boss. She looked up a bit annoyed. "What d you think your doing?" He snarled protectively. Her annoyance grew and she used a combat technique to escape his steel like grasp. She forced herself to calm down before replying. " I'm helping her if I don't remove the...thing"... "Bullet" Dart interuppted looking at Cat with concern. "Fine! If I don't remove the bullet she will die. My people are soem of the most advanced when it comes to things medical...or at least we were. Now are you going to let me help her or are you going to watch her die?" Kadea questioned stareing at him coldly. He muled it over for a moment then rubbing the back of his head he nodded slowly. But as she moved to help her his finger snaped out and she looked up again. " You best not try anything cause if you hurt her you won't live to see dawn.I'll be watching, every move you make, every breath you take and if i even suspect something funny so help me i'll....." He let the threat hang onimously in the air. kadea nodded and turned back to her work. For hours she worked removeing the bullet and cateriseing the wound to get rid of the infection, then sutreing it closed. She wiped her sweety brow with the back of her bloodied hand and continueing working. Dart had brought in something that he called an IV. "It's giveing her blood" he explained. And Kadea watched in fascination as they hooked her up. "there that should do it." They said in unison and Dart laughed a little. Cats wound was not bleeding anymore and they had been made to leave the room while boss bandaged it. She looked up suddenly and asked, " Do you have any herbs in this place?" She asked and he led her to a room with every type of herb imaginable. She washed her hands in the small basin and seleted the ones she wanted while Dart watched, he was technically still her gaurd. She was escorted to the kitchen were she set to work bringing water to boil on what Dart called an Electrical Oven and grinding the herbs. When the chi tea was finnished she carried it carefully back to the infirmry with what Dart called a portable heater. Cat would appreiciate it when she woke up.

((I'm changing somthing. Reavns is no longer Reavns, just Cat now. It's to hard to think of both names. K, thanks.))
Cat awoke, quite abruptly. Her eyes flew wide open from a nighmarish dream, where all the people she carred about bled to death with herself watching, unable to do anything. At first, her vision was blurry and dark, but as awerness came to her, she sat botl upright, imidiatly she regreted it. Her head pounded. Her hand went to the fore of her head, and she let out a slight groan. Remebering, and feeling the sharp pains coming from there, her hand then shifted to her left arm. She regreted that to. As soon as she touched the bandage, searing pain forged through her arm to her head, worsening her headache. *Mabye I should just sit still.* Her feeble voice trailed out. "Boss... I'm awake."

Boss came to the pallet side and pushed her gently but firmly bck down. "Rest...you've earned it." He said softly knowing she had a headache. Kadea walked quietly over to the bed carrying a small cup of steaming tea which she handed to Cat "here drink this...you fell much better." She said in a soft wisper of broken english. As cat took the cup kadea gave a small bow and walked to the back of the room and sat demurely on the table watching the teas effects and knowing it was bitter.

Cat looked at the steaming cup, took it, but did not drink it. She layed it down, still not trusting this new person. She pushed Boss' hand away, and got to her feet. Cat was ready to face the dissyness that she knew would come, and remained stoic while she fought it. She grabbed the two pistols that were naxt to the palet, unmistakably hers, and walked to her gun room and sat down, starting to polish them of blood and grime, apalled that the job had not been done already. She fought the pain that had manifested, and continued to polish to take her mind of it.

Kadea picked up the cup and looked towards Dart who nodded and directed her towards Cats gun room. She tapped lightly once and the door woshed open of it's own accord. She stared at it in amasement for a second and slowly stepped in clearing her throat a little to get Cat's attention. "You forgot this." She said nerviously. ANd at no response she laid it down quickly on a table next to Cat. " How's your arm?" She asked quietly holding her breath that she wasn't gonna get killed just for being in hear. She was still a prisoner in this place and knew that technically she was supposed to be chained to a wall somewere with no weapons and no freedom. But these captors seemed unworried about what she did or the fact that she had two weapons....The girl remained silent polishing the thing that Dart had called a gun furiously. Kadea walked slowly around the room her hands behind her back " what are these things anyway?" She asked dareing to touch one and the girls head snapped up.

Up to a point, Cat had ingnored the woman entering her room, but she had toughed one of her presious guns. Her head snaped up and she hissed, "Get out of this room. Now." She stared endlessly with her all-black eyes at Kedea.

Dalin caught her with a slight curse that he bit off and sighed as her picked her up. He nearly dropped her because her skin was so cold. He looked at her face. She was so pale even in the light. He tightened his grip and carried her to a nearby bar.
