Snippet #1992981

In a flurry of movement, Akuryo's hand was torn out of May's grasp. She let out a yelp of surprise and stumbled backwards into an elderly couple. After properly apologizing she turned to gaze off in the direction of the chase.

"A guardian! That girl is the new guardian!" Akuryo said beside her.

Anger and jealousy surged through her viens. May gritted her teeth, struggling to decide a good plan of action. "Let's go after her!" she said finally and raced after Kengi.

Rue's eyes were busy following Skylar to see the strange character disappear beside her. She looked wildly around for a moment before dashing off after her bearer. Beside her Vin flew with a calm expression - though that was no different from usual.

Up ahead, Skylar was busy weaving through people with stunning elegance. Her character change allowed people to recognize her presence but not pay much attention to her, which made it easier to get through the crowds. People just mindlessly moved out of her way, not really realizing that they were making a pathway for the teen to run through. She turned into one of the alley-ways and hid amongst the shadows. Heart alarmed, her breathing was shallow, pained. In an attempt to make herself more quiet she placed a hand over her mouth, forcing herself to breath through her nose.

A flash of blonde raced past the alley - Kengi - and continued up ahead, completely unaware that he'd missed his target altogether. Eyes spotting a staircase leading to a rooftop restaurant, he raced forward and took the steps by threes. From a view close to that of a bird's, Kengi scanned the crowd. An amused expression began to slither onto his face. Oh what a fun game this was~!

Seconds later May flew past the alley, shouting something at Kengi - Skylar took no notice; she was too busy quietly creeping through the shadows of the alley.
