Welcome to Gaia! ::

::Having been referring to her as "Byakko", more THE Byakko as Nakago had put it....they knew that this would not be acceptable. Nakago had said he did not want to see them again unless they brought the Byakko. Another of their kind showed up next to the one who had called out to her, one who had not recieved those direct orders, and thus he quickly sent him to Yui's chambers to relay "Her" take on the situation. The other three readied themselves for action.::
(Gaurds, and A plant watering Servant)
::The commotion in the garden brought a selection of palace gaurds to it's outskirts. They did not enter, as they would only do so if ordered to by higher authority or if they had enough brains about them and realized if the situiation was going bad, to try to intervene. The servant who had been so innocently doing her duty now fled from the garden behind the gathering soldiers.

::One began preparing a small thread-like substance that had the strength of chains, but because of its size and composition, could also cut. Another prepared a selection of darts with a toxin that would stun or knock out...a normal person anyway. And the third drew out a sickle. Not wanting to give up their positions, the "leader" of them signaled one of the gaurds to move in.::
(Small Band of 5 gaurds, Fully armored and armed)
::These gaurds did not know what was going on, not really...they were just following orders. They entered the garden boldly and marched straight towards her, weapons drawn::

Tamahome looked at the advisiors, and said sarcastically.

"Nice to see you, too."

Why did they stop talking all of a sudden? They seemed..jumpy. He shook his head, responding,

"Nah. I was there earlier looking for Miaka."

Maybe he could have a little fun with this...

(Ministers, Viziers, Accountants, Treasureres...Palace Folk!, Not theiving...transporting and discussing!)
::They ignored the sarcasm behind his words...as a Suzaku Seishi, he was basically above them in all respects. So the one that was trying to distract Tamahome, waved discreetly at the others to leave...Now... Did you now...well...::Sweatdropping:: We really should be off...palace duties you know...::He bagan slinking away as did the little group he had been discussing financial issues with::

::Aside from the worry over the priestess...Amiboshi seemd a touch lost in all that Nakago had put before him...Perhaps he had insinuated too much. Either way...the fact that the other Seishi's of the other beast god's were moving against them was all he needed for now. Nakago took interest in learning what the boy could do...but knew that in the situation..he would not be able to wait around and see, watch or really lern it. The explaination was enough...it would surely help- - - He stopped short when Ki transfer was mentioned. Nakago knew what that included. Even he had not done such yet with Lady Yui...he had simply been enveloping her...releaving the pressures of the world so that her body would focus only on its self and internal problems.::

"No..." ::He wondered if his words came out too stern or not::

"I'm going to go do a little tiger catching...Try the spell...Then wait for my return."

::He turned and headed to the door, stopping as he was passing through::

"No one is to enter here unless they bear the mark and Power of Seiryuu, or come with me." ::He spoke half to Amiboshi and half to those gathered outside the room, who quickly dispersed as the look on Nakago's face was one of dread severety.::

"I will not fail you," Amiboshi answered with determination. He untied his flute from his waistband. He felt some degree of relief with the instrument in his hands. It has been his childhood gift, and as he ventured out into the dangerous world, it had been the true constant in his life. He knew that with this flute, he could achieve. Knowing that brought him a strength that he fully appreciated at this moment. Amiboshi brought the flute to his lips and moved his fingers into position. He closed his eyes as he began to focus his ki. "I advise," he said aloud, "that the door be shut soon. The sound will carry, and I do not want to waste one note of it."

Subaru flinched as the hilt crashed against her barriers yet the magic around her managed to absorb the sheer strength behind it. She stumbled however, and lifted her hand to shield her eyes for she had no intentions of causing harm to those around her...she had simply been attempting to deter them via her threats but apparently that hadn't worked.

Nay...she would use her skills to defend herself against more potent energies, but after a time she lowered her arm once more and glared at the guard defiantly.

"Try again!" She chirped.

Oooh so he was faltering? Excellent! Her face brightened and she took a step backwards, bouncing up onto the rim of the fountain before observing him once more. She then tilted her head to one side before carefully walking around the edge...why ever would she want to come peacefully?

Again, a smile lit up her delicate features and soon she was back round to where she had started however now, she had what appeared to be a little egg in her hand. Her head then tilted to the other side and she grinned teasingly as she revealed the tiny egg more clearly.

"Last chance to give up...and come peacefully..." She mimiced.

True, the seals appeared to be easily destroyed however...upon ones destruction another did appear to replace it and the kanji upon it grew darker, the pulse increasing as though responding to the challenge. With every seal torn off, another would replace it, another of more power and as each was touched, the pain of contact would grow more fierce.

Evidently..the simplest of spells could be the most deadly when wielded by a magi...
