Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Where did that girl go..." Hari spoke, sitting at the table within the inn. In the end, he had gone somewhere where both options he had given Larissa were attainable. Still, it had been a while and Nariko and Mickey were nowhere to be found. Perhaps someone had gotten a hold of them while they were coming back. It wasn't a good thought for the man.

After Nariko left, Basa and the group had gotten to play in the rest of their matches and the only match left was against the Sea Sernts. The group of rich boys stood on the opposite side of the court, looking rather uppity about their position. Most of the people who had been watching the other matches had left. It came to this point every time a volleyball tournament came by. The Sea Sernts would always win, and Basa's team was usually the team that faced off the rich boys.
"Geh... Do we even have a chance at winning this time?" Higis started quietly, looking as though he had already lost the match.
"There's always the chance of winning. We just have to make sure that there are no close calls," Ran spoke.
"Forget close calls. Just kick their asses; make them eat sand," Basa ordered.

"Yeah, right." Claw rolled his eyes to Nariko, and let out a long grunt. "Everybody lies, dammit! That's what makes up like... like half the stuff we know!"

"Ah... okay..." Larissa quietly obeyed, knowing it'd probably be easier for Hari to find the girls without her to worry about so much. She got up from the table and headed upstairs to the room.

"Anything you need me to do different?" Mickey asked, just in case. Her question seemed to be mroe aimed to Basa, since he was the leader.

"One more thing," Hari spoke before Larissa completely left the room, "If something does happen, scream. Make a lot of noise... Someone will come..." Though the fairy had changed at the store, Hari had changed back at the inn. He was no longer wearing just the swimming trunks and was back into his long shorts and muscle-type shirt.

"Your serves tend to go towards the back. For this game, try to hit it softer so that it ends up close to the net. Stay in a back position as well," the male spoke, finally looking over at the opposing team. It was made up of a group that was taller than average but not quite as tall as Basa. They all had bright golden hair though their eyes seemed to differ in color.

Hari left the inn in order to go find the two girls that had gone missing. Why hadn't Nariko come back with Mickey? Even if she hadn't been able to find Mickey, why did she just plain come back? The more he thought about it, the more worried Hari seemed to become. The last place he had left the kitsune was at the beach so that should be the first place that he should look for her.

The game started with the Sea Sernts serving. Just as the guys had told Mickey, the opposing team was actually quite good. Their serve was a little strong but it still made it within the court.

The angel stuck his tongue out at Nariko, and reached over to tug at one of her ears. "I already did!" he snapped at her, tugging harder. Hopefully, the girl hadn't noticed his swelling cheek, and also hopefully, this would distract her from it even more. "So just shut up, and try to lie to me! If you don't lie... I won't let go!"

There were a few close calls and all of them fell in the Sea Sernts favor. Basa looked more than pissed when the opponents had managed to catch a lead by 3 points. Granted the blame didn't fall on any one person, but Basa was not the type that liked losing.
