Alice looked at the White Devil and said, "You need to get out, now!" Alice stood up and situated herself between the broken door, and broken window, and Ciel and Almond, "There must be an back exit, get to it now, we can hold them off..." She looked back at Ciel and said, "I swear to the gods, if you let her die I will come back from hell to kill you myself..."
Alice had left her bow at her room, so she grabbed the knife at her belt and the one in her sleeve, she readied herself to attack anyone that got near Ciel or the girl.
Grabbing Almond with one hand and pulling Feng up with the other, Ciel brought them back a safe distance to the center of the church.
"Keep running to the back entrance!" He shouted, "We can disappear into the woods once we're out!"
Gritting his teeth, Ciel's grip tightened around his staff. Even though combat wasn't his specialty, it didn't feel right to leave Shen and Dva behind. Still, he had a responsibility to get Almond to safety. That was the priority. His powers weren't destructive or even violent, so even if he did stay to fight, it would probably do little to help, but still, perhaps there was something he could do....
Closing his eyes as he ran, Ciel pointed his hand in Shen and Dva's direction, concentrating on their auras. It might not be much, but this was probably the best thing he could do to help them.
"Almond...." He said softly, "No matter what happens to me, please keep running. Just keep running, and don't look back."
Crunching his hand into a fist, Ciel channeled not etherial healing or otherworldly power into Dva and Shen, but instead, sent his own channeling abilities into them, lending them as much of it as he could spare. The gift would return to him after the battle was over, but with luck, it would give them the edge they would need to win the fight, especially if Guilenttos came in time to help. Immediately, the backlash slammed into Ciel, causing him to vomit up blood in choked coughs. Falling to his knees, his vision went white and blood flowed from his eyes, ears and mouth. Standing up again through sheer willpower, Ciel continued limbing on blindly, using his staff for support as he limped forwards.
"We're almost there...." He smiled to Almond, "Everything's going to be alright...."

Ciel flailed around, reaching desperately to Almond. His vision still white, he followed the sound of the girl's voice, limping as quickly as he could to follow her. Dva and Shen were both experienced fighters, but without the skill of the white devil, Almond wouldn't stand a chance against the attacking sorcerers.
"Feng!" Ciel shouted blindly, "Help her-!" Clinging to his staff, Ciel limped as fast as he could to Almond, ignoring the pain of all his injuries. Pain was just a feeling after all, and all of his feelings were ultimately under his control.
That was when he heard it.
"Leave them alone!" Almond shouted, "You bloodthirsty, worthless scum!"
The power in the girl's voice stopped Ciel in his tracks for just a moment. The confidence and sheer ferocity in it was clearly from the white devil, yet the clear desire to protect and bring justice was definitely from Almond. Was it possible that Almond had found a way to harness the white devil's power without succumbing to her influence, or was the white devil just lending Almond her strength for their mutual survival? It didn't matter. At least now, the girl had a chance at survival, and perhaps even, a chance at defeating their attackers.
Still, Ciel had promised to protect her, and he still had a little of his channelling powers left. Perhaps he could still be of some use, even if just as support or healing. Standing beside Almond, his head had cleared just enough to make out the blurry shapes of each attacker. More than what he needed. As long as he could sense them, he could fight them, or at least avoid their attacks.
"Don't kill them if you can avoid it." Ciel said calmly, "And if you ever feel in any danger, run for the back entrance of the church. I'll protect you." Ciel smiled, "I promised, didn't I?"
Feng looked at Ciel he was in no condition to fight he wanted to help 'Such a strong will.' Feng thought, "Don't worry I don't intend on letting anyone die..." Feng said stepping in the front lines, "Hoho~!? You'll be the first to die, then I'll slowly kill of the others once I get what I want from them!" Then robed woman said. Feng then glared at her "I wont let you." Feng replied and placed a stance his expression changed the seemingly happy-go-lucky smile he always had implanted on Feng's face was gone, "Oh, let's play then." the woman said; Using the Lightning steps first move Jin, Feng appears in front of the woman and throws a punch, shocked the woman only blocked the force of the attack pushes her back a few feet, Feng dashes forwards throwing another straight punch towards the woman but she places her foot to block, 'She blocked my fist with only her leg?!" Feng thought, soon getting hit by the woman's other leg, she had made a counter blocking with one leg sending the force of the attack through her body and to her other leg(which was already in the air) attacked Feng with it using his attack against him and reducing the damage to her body greatly. Feng tumbled backwards doing to spins to reduce impact and stood in his stance once again "To do such a high level counter, she is quite skilled." Feng mumbled under his breath....

As they reached a safe distance from the battle, Ciel stopped her for a moment.
"We can't leave Dva and Shen behind." He said, "And Guilettos is still upstairs, I think."
Turning to Feng, Ciel pointed to the battle in the distance; "I need you to get Dva and Shen. You don't have to defeat our attackers. The priority now is just getting away safely. Almond and I will find Guilettos, and any church workers we can save. We'll wait for you at the back entrance."

I'LL BE BACK!!! ;P
'What's going on?', visions and dreams raced through his mind as fast as the blood flowing through his veins. Scenarios of fights and people he had met before were blurring past his line of vision. Somehow he felt detached from his body, but slowly, consciousness was seeping back into its original form.
The white haired man doubled up on the ground shifted with a low moan. His back ached, probably from his position and the room he was in felt empty, like the only living soul within was himself and no one else.
Stuttering up on his knees, he managed to stand up and made his way down the staircase. Reaching for the door handles, he swung them open with might and in the distance, he spotted Ciel and Almond. He could sense that Ciel wasn't in his best condition and with a little squinting and the way he had the slightest stride of a drunken man, he looked exhausted and injured inside and out.
Not knowing what had happened while he was out, he made a mad dash towards the two figures and threw Ciel's arm over his back. "Are you alright?", he asked in audible concern.
"Leave it to me Ciel-san." Feng said, 'I'm out of practice that wont happen again...' he thought standing up then using Lightning step Jin technique as a foot hold he moves to Dva grabbing her over his arms, "Bear with this for a moment Dva..." Feng says to her. Feng then jumps over to the Deathcaster and kicks the air "Like I'll let you take him!! Rankyaku!" he says as a razor sharp air blade advences towards him, but he suddenly vanished, "Tch!" Feng grunted falling to the ground, Feng grabs Shens staff and uses Lightning steps Tweh to retreat back to the others 'Find Cluna Felagund and tell him I sent you...' Shens words echoed in Fengs mind. "I am sorry they have taken Shen... but we have to go the enemy's advancing pretty fast." Feng says to Ciel and the others.
Hana Shiranui
Shortly after being dropped kicked by the white devil "That bitch! Men don't let them leave this place alive!!" Hana said, she was pissed 'I didn't think I'd get hit by such an amateur!' she thought, but then heard commotion outside the church, it was the Imperial guard of Haven "What rotten luck... Men change of plans Retreat!" she said as the others started to head back 'Getting caught by them is not part of my plan though they got here earlier than expected.' Hana thought, "This isn't over you hear! I wont rest until I mount your head on my wall!!" She said to the group then head out through a window and ran through the forest....
((Sorry for my inactivity Ive been dealing with my final exams and such in school no time for posting :( ))

"Thanks Guilettos. I think I'll be fine." He grinned, still catching his breath, "But Dva's right. We do have to keep moving."
Since the battle was over, Ciel could already feel the power he lent to Shen and Dva returning. Slowly, his head cleared, and most of the bleeding stopped as his strength gradually returned. Standing up, he shook off the pain that remained. Pain was just a feeling, and like all feelings, it could be ignored.
"Let's disappear into the forest." He suggested, "We have to find this Cluna Felagund as soon as possible so we can save Shen."
Opening the back entrance, Ciel gazed respectfully back at the church around him. There wouldn't be time to say goodbye this time, but at the very least, everyone would be alright.
"Thank you...." He muttered softly, "See you later.... Charity...."

She moved along the roofs as quietly as she could until she reached the Inn, luckily the guards were trying to quell the current battle at the church, so there were only two stationed in her room. She dove through the window and with angelic-like grace she moved fluidly rolling towards one of the guards, she stuck her knife in his throat and threw another knife at the other guard, he quickly move and it cut his cheek.
"Who the hell are you!?" he yelled.
Alice grinned and charged at him, in a quick "repartee" Alice thrust her knife into his heart, killing him. Realizing the yelling would attract attention, she quickly grabbed her supplies and jumped out the window again, she move about 20 meters away and jumped into an alleyway, sauntering from there into the street, as if nothing had happened... She changed her blood soaked clothes in the alleyway.
Now to find this Cluna person... Alice thought to herself.
"Yes but we don't have leads except he or she live in Haven... It will take a while to find this Cluna Felagund, I only remember Haven and some of the people that lived here when I was still a child running around Haven...." Feng said looking at the others, Ciel was gradually looking better the bleeding had stopped from what Feng saw, "And Ciel you need to rest, you have lost a lot of blood." Feng said looking at him; but then looked at Shen's staff, then slightly sighed Almond was staring intently at a water droplet, "Also we have to meet with Dva..." Feng then added.
Hana Shiranui
Hana swinged on a branch of a tree then jumped to another one then stopped as her men stopped on the tree behind "Men go back to head quarters and report to the boss that we've found her, I'll keep an eye on her." Hana said, "Yes, Ma'am!" they said in unison and jumped continuing ahead, "Know lets see where they went, I heard something about a Cluna Felagund, who ever that is I guess this is going to turn into a search I better head to the town." Hana said, "Btu first." she added taking off her robe knowing that it would attract to much attention and discarded it. "I-I... Don't kn-know..." Hana said as her cheek grew red, and a single tear escaped her eyes, "Still got it." She said smirking then began laughing.
"Also, we have to meet with Dva...."
Ciel nodded in agreement. "Dva promised to meet us at Cluna's place before she left, so she probably knows where he lives. If we can just find her, we should be able to find Cluna, and if we find Cluna first, we can just wait for her to meet up with us."
He smiled at the deduction. Simple, but effective. Still, it didn't solve the problem of how to find either of them. They could ask around of course, but that would attract unnecessary attention. With the level of infamy that some of their party had, unnecessary attention was something they couldn't afford to risk, unless they were willing to court death.
Thinking for a moment, Ciel's face lit up as an idea hit him.
"As long as they haven't pass on, I have the ability to talk to the dead," Ciel explained, "We can use this at the cemetery to find someone who knew Cluna when they were alive. With luck, there might be someone who can tell us what we need."
Coughing up a little blood, Ciel quickly wiped it away, pointing in the graveyard in the distance.
"Whoever said dead men tell no tales was terribly misinformed." He smiled, "Let's give it a try, shall we?"
