Seeing as Reo could never return back to his home, nor could Akina, they could only find another place to hold out at, seeing as the forest wasn't exactly protected from the weather. Reo had only partially recovered from his wounds, and with dragon demons soon to discover that his body was gone, they'd be searching for him and Akina.
Still in the forest, Reo was laying against a tree, the sun's fingers stretching up over the horizon as dawn came. He was awake, being unable to sleep. He hadn't said a word to Akina yet, having been asleep more times than not. He wasn't mad at Akina for getting herself outcasted as well, but Akina had it good back in the clan. She should have stayed, he thought to himself.

Akina laid in the soft grass eyes closed though she wasn't asleep she was more or less thinking mind jumping from one thing to the next. She knew that the clan wasn't going to be to happy about her helping Reo but that was a worry for when the time came for her to deal with it. she sighed to herself before turning over on her back stareing up at the sky as light began to flood the world of the living once again. She reached her hand out as if she wanted to touch the sky before she looked over at Reo. She smiled at him something she hardly even done. " ya awake?"

He remained still, and his eyes opened slowly. His eyes fix upon Akina, and he forced a weak smile. He didn't feel like smiling, he really didn't feel like staying awake. He winced some, sitting up a bit more. "Yeah.. I am." He looked at the rising sun, and the clouds above them. The clouds were almost pitch black, and the wind was cold and growing stronger. It was probably going to be a real downpour today. If they didn't find some better shelter than some trees, they weren't going to be feeling so great.

Akina looked up at the sky, The clouds trying hard to block out the light from the sun. she looked from the clouds to Reo for a second before sighing. " You think your up to moving around a little Reo?", she asked as she stood up. " Looks like theres going to be a pretty bad storm later"

"I don't have much of a choice, do I..?" He responded, and he began to try and get up. He grunted some in pain, but got through it and stood up. He had no armor, since his old armor was basically destroyed. He looked at Akina, standing, but leaning against the tree. "If we're going somewhere let's go now..." The only thing nearby was more forest, a stream, and a village with a few inhabitants.

Akina shook her head at his sarcasm. " yeah yeah sarcasm is such a nice thing", she muttered before walking over to him. " your ganna have to lean on me cause I don't want to have to wait on you", she said rolling her eyes. " Theres probably a village or something near by we will just stay there unless you prefer to stay out in the rain"

Reo didn't say much in reply, just a bit of a grunt before he placed an arm around Akina's shoulder, and started walking some to where he smelled the human village to be. The going was still slow some, even with her help. He was still in a bit of pain, but he'd probably feel better once they got to the village. He didn't say much on the way there.
The human village only had about two dozen people inhabiting it. Reo could smell food, and for how much his body was craving any type of food, his stomach growled. By the time they got to the village, it was beginning to sprinkle some, a light rain. Most of the villagers were still outside, forced to tend to their crops, even if it was raining. Reo would lean himself up against a tree, so Akina could go kill the humans. Hopefully she'd leave a house standing.

Upon seeing the village Akina left Reo at the tree so she could take care of things. She walked into the village a expression of nothingness on her face as she quickly changed to her blood dragon form. She sent a fire ball down on the villagers feeling the rain begin to pick up a little. She crushed some of the villagers with her tail knocking down some houses in the process but since it was such a small town it didn't take her long ten minutes at the most. She was getting ready to step down on the last house when she stopped thinking they had to have a place to stay. " oopse almost forgot", she said to herself as she changed back in her human form and walked back over to Reo. " Hm you wanna rice cake?", she asked offering him her shoulder to lean on till he could get to the building that was left

"Any food is fine.." He replied, placing his arm around her meakly. It seemed just wanting to the village had drained him of his energy. Demons had a fast regeneration rate, but with so many wounds that needed to be healed, his body didn't have the nutrients to heal them all so fast. Until he got more food in his system, his wounds would heal at their slow pace. He leaned on Akina as they went to the house, the rain beginning to grow stronger.
Going inside the house, he lays himself down on one of the beds, tired some. He didn't care about food as much as he did sitting down right now.

Once she got him in the house, she went out looking for food. rain pounding aginst her helmet. " stupid humans why cant they be normal", she growled to herself moving around the rubble of the what used to be village. She found some food not much but enough for Reo, meat mostly . She walked back to the building taking the food to Reo so he could eat before she plopped down on the floor throwing her helmet across the room. " Maybe it wont be raining tomorrow then I can go back out for some more food in a different village maybe"

Reo sat up when she got back in, and took some of the meat, leaving half for her. He ate quickly at first, but slowed down soon enough. He listened to the rain pelting the roof, and he looked at Akina, thankful. However, he didn't say anything. Akina knew Reo relied on her right now.

Akina began digging around in the bag Tojo had given to her, full of supplies. She took out one of the bottles of water and tossed it to Reo. " All that work was for nothing", she sighed leaning her head against the wall and closing her eyes she scoffed at the thought of the leaders son's face when he seen Reo wasn't on the ledge dead. " I could have been home all that time sleeping and stuffing my face, But this is much better I cant wait to see how the react I bet they will be mad as hell. Running around panicking just cause your not dead, and they got no relief for there leader still laying there dead as ever. ", She spoke as if it was all a game nothing to gain or lose any more well nothing that she hasn't lost already and got back.

Reo looked as if about to respond, then heard two small thuds outside, even heard over the rain. It pelted down strong still, outside. Reo had caught the water, and he drank from it some, before setting it aside. "Someone's here.."
After he said that, the door was suddenly wrenched out of the doorway, and thrown out and away. Two dragon demons stood in the doorway, looking at Reo. One of them glared at Akina, before speaking. "We're not here to kill you.. no matter how underhanded we think you are. The son's leader says to kill Reo, and bring back his head. Stand aside, Akina. "
Reo grunted. There's no way he could defend himself from even one of them right now. He looked at Akina, unsure if she could take to dragon demons on her own. He grabbed Agito, lifting it up weakly, while still sitting on the floor.

Akina tilted her head a little at the thumping sounds coming from outside. " Peh its probably just..", she began saying, getting cut off as the door swung open. " neh not the first time I was wrong", she said standing up and looking at the two. " You call me underhanded? I don't think im the one that tossed one of there own out to die, So you have that all wrong. and as for stepping aside I don't remember anyone saying I took orders from you", she snapped at them stepping in front of Reo, and raising her Ravager to them.

Reo looked at the two. He knew them, they had once been friends. He had been friends with many within the tribe. But, he'd done something unforgiveable in their eyes. Obstructing the resurrection of their leader. Reo lifts Agito more, planting it into the floor, and rising slowly. "Akina..." He gripped Agito by the back of it's blade, the side not sharp, and slipped the handle of the sword into her free hand. Usually holding two large swords at once would be difficult; But Reo was sure once she started fighting it wouldn't be a problem. He spoke lowly to her. "If you kill them.. leave their bodies intact.." He winced some, and he went and sat down again. Why would he ask such a strange question. The two dragon demons hadn't heard what Reo said, since it was low enough to be a whisper.
The two dragon demons were growing impatient and one spoke now. "Alright, Akina. You've brought this upon yourself. " Akina would probably have to drive them back away from the house before the fight started, or all the melee would get Reo killed anyways. One of the demons took out a large bow he had on his back, notching an arrow meakly. The other demon unsheathed a thick double-edged sword off of his back, brandishing it at Akina.
