Ember sighed as she finished packing her bag, she knew Fate was waiting for her outside, the only issue at the moment though... was Zero. Ember knew he would follow her any where. Even if she had locked him inside and commanded him to hold the fort down...
Walking through the halls she didn't even bother to tell him bye.. Ember just simply left a not for him saying.
"Despite how you always follow me. I've commanded the other to follow your orders until my return. And for goodness sakes Zero... don't follow me this time...."
Ember doubted Zero would listen... he never did...

Zero sat up slowly and yawned, rubbing his eyes. His aching muscles groaned in protest as he moved, and he sighed, that's right, I was up late training last night... If anyone had witnessed his training session, they'd have run away in fear, screaming that he was a monster, not human. But those physically grueling and tortuous sessions that pushed him beyond his limits had become a norm for him, and he no longer thought anything of it. After all, how else would he get stronger?
He stood up from his bed and raised his arms over his head. Every morning on the days after those sessions, he would stretch for five minutes to release his tensed muscles, and then he could make it through the day with only minor aches. Except last night, he had pushed himself beyond his norm. He could already tell, today was going to be hell.
After he finished stretching, he limped down the hall into the main room. "Oi! Taichou!" he called, when he got no reply, he looked around, "Where are you?" Again, no reply. Then he saw the note.
Zero picked it up and his eyes scanned it quickly, "Geez, she left again... She could at least tell me where she was going..." His eyes shot to the door, and he thought for a moment, Well, I am really sore today... And I suppose she can handle herself... Fine, just this once I'll stay behind. Then he snickered, besides, if she's not here to order me around, I can just go back to bed!
But after an hour of lying awake, Zero finally lost his patience, "Aw, screw it!"

Since she had been atop of Fate's back, leaving and reaching the meeting place, would take no more than an hour. However it was the fact that she had never met this new group of contracted horse catchers/sellers, that would have her on her toes. She sighed as Fate slowed to a walk, the mare slowly releasing her shield over the two. Seeing the group, Ember had to actually be surprised, even though it didn't show on her face. The Group she was meeting seemed well prepared for a fight, with their leader behind everyone.
"Oi, what's this, i thought you said we would meet Organization to Organization. Why are your people?"
Ember couldn't help the laugh that escaped her lips, calming down a minute later and looking stone cold as she spoke to them.
"When I said Organization to Organization, I meant Leader to Leader. That is what we do whenever we meet anyway. Now state why you wanted this meeting in the first place or i might as well head home."
The other group laughed loudly, taking a few minutes to calm down as their leader stepped forward.
" I want you to join my Organization."
As soon as the words were almost done, a blast of fire flew past his head.
"You, as a new Organization, shall learn your place and learn it fast if you wish to stay alive. Me and my Accomplice are the main two in my Organization and are more than capable of destroy your little... group, here."
After quite a bit of time, Ember had Fate turn around and start heading back to their home. Ember through lightning down, before calling fire to spread just as lightning slammed into the ground. A few screams could be heard, but the pair paid them no head. Ember would be damned the day she ever let a group of insolite, annoying kids try to tell her what to do. Hell, between her and Zero, they could have destroyed them.
Suddenly, out of nowhere and before either of the two could create a forcefield to stop it... An arrow slammed into Ember. It was then that all of the Elements wreaked their Havoc and Chaos on the group before completely destroy them. Unfortunately, it was all Ember could do now, just to stay atop Fate's back. The travel back would be agonizingly slow... unless she sent Fate to fetch Zero and bring him here...
Stopping the mare near a group of trees, after ripping out the arrow she slid from her back, leaning against the trees.
"Fate, run swiftly to get Zero, tell him.... tell him, Arrow..."
The mare nodded before racing off to go find the boy. Ember call upon earth to have a few of the trees creating a hole in the trunks for her to hide out in while a branch full of leaves fell and covered the entrance, but just enough so she could get out with help, yet still difficult that others would have trouble finding...
(Arrow would be something for a scenario that Ember would have talked to the entire group about... just to make sure they'd be prepared for anything.)

Zero silently raced through the trees, he had a lot of ground to cover if he was going to catch up with her. Of course, no one in the organization had been surprised that he had decided to go after her, and no one would have dared to tell him otherwise. They had witnessed Zero when he dropped his carefree act, and knew better than to mess with him.
Zero closed his eyes to hone in on his tracking device once more. He had planted them on the feet of every member, a tiny, unnoticeable thread that was slightly different for each member. Because of this, he could pinpoint the exact location of everyone in the organization at any given time, as long as they were still within his range. And through his training, he had extended his sensory and control ranges tremendously.
Slowly, he began to hear a distant hoofbeat, that became louder and louder. He stopped, and flickered his eyes around to check his surroundings. Then he saw her. It was Taichou's horse! But where was Taichou?
He sprung out of the tree he was in and silently landed next to the animal. "Where is she?"
(By sensory range, it is the radius in which he can still sense where his threads are, and what happens to them. So he would still know if someone unwanted set foot inside the organization lands. His control range isn't as far, that's the radius he can still control the threads and use them to attack and what not. As for the tree thing, yeah, he was running through the treetops like a ninja =D)

Ember simply closed her eyes, her breathing just slightly shallow as she simply concentrated, just barely able to feel the pounding of Fate's hooves, alone with the vibrations of them sliding to a stop.
Fate said nothing as she just watched Zero, only one word ever leaving her muzzle as she knelt, showing him that she would allow him on her back.
"Arrow"
Her eyes simply stayed on Zero as she awaited the boys response, knowing that there would probably be a fight or something to come later...

Zero nodded grimly, "Got it."
He turned sharply and resumed running, now at a much more strained pace. Damn it! She had to go and get herself injured the one time he wasn't there...
Soon enough, he reached the area his tracking signal was coming from. He glanced around quickly, but didn't see her. "Where..." Then he saw a small disturbance in the foliage, "There?" He pulled away a branch to get a better look, "Taichou, are you there?"

Ember's eyes were still closed when she felt Zero pulled a branch away. Just with a small thought she easily had all of the shelter around her return back to the earth. Her eyes flickered sightly as she barely moved her head to look up at him.
"Zero..."

A small trace of warmth showed through Zero's relieved smile, but in an instant it vanished, replaced by his usual distant facade. "Wow~ How'd you manage to get hurt like that?" he said in a falsely cheerful voice, "I'm surprised they got a hit in at all, Taichou."
He straightened his back slowly, not letting his fake smile drop from his face. "Are you going to keep spying on me all day? I'm not really that interesting." He remained motionless for a moment, keeping his eyes locked on Ember, but suddenly spun around and let a knife fly. The knife embedded itself in a tree trunk, right next to an enemy's head. The startled man fell backwards, out of his cover. Zero watched him, his smile still intact, "That's better."

Ember glanced up at Zero, her amber colored eyes narrowing slightly.
"Really Zero... Now isn't the time for that..."
As soon as she heard his words, then noticed he had turned and thrown his knife so that it stuck in a tree beside an enemy's head. As soon as she noticed the enemy, she wasted more of her energy to stand up before having earth capture him within tree branches, holding him still.
"Who are you and what do you think you are doing."
Unfortunately, instead of standing tall and strong as she usually did, with a menacing look about her. Ember looked weakened and vulnerable with a wound in her stomach as she leaned slightly against the tree for support.
"Nice aim by the way Z--"
Before she could finish her sentence Ember's eyes closed as her body went sightly limp, as it fell towards Zero.
One of the Assassins had run ahead of his partner when he had figured out that Zero had gone this way.
"Fuku-Taichou.. take Taichou back to the base, we'll follow behind with this guy..."

Zero swiftly caught Ember as she fell, and he looped one arm under her legs to carry her, supporting her back with his other arm. He turned his head toward the assassins, "You wouldn't be ordering your superior, would you?" a dangerous undertone in his light voice.
"Well, whatever." He nonchalantly turned away, and tugged on one of his threads, pulling the knife he had thrown back to him. He pocketed it quickly so that he could shift his arm back to supporting Ember, then continued walking away. His eyes slowly darkened as his true personality leaked through his facade for a moment, "If you worms can't even handle a weakling like that, you're in for hell when you get back..."

Ember's breaths suddenly got a bit shallower as her energy drained, the tree branches holding the enemy drying out into a brittle and easily broken barrier. Her head was slumped towards Zero as blood started to pour out of her wound a bit, dripping from her back, through her shirt and onto whatever was under it.
Fate flattened her ears as she caught up to Zero, walking next to the stubborn male.
"if you get on my back and secure the both of you with your strings, we can get back to the base a lot quicker you know.
The Assassin had nodded sharply as his partner arrived before the two swiftly grabbed the enemy, the first Assassin(James) created Golden Chains created from the Hydrogen atoms in the air. Strengthened by his ability to harden anything to make it as strong as a mountain, the chains became almost virtually unbreakable.
"Miheal, we best hurry back unless we dare face Fuku-Taichou's rage... he already seems quite angered"
The second assassin nodded as the two began their hastened journey back to the base..

Zero glanced at Fate quickly, but ignored her. Instead, he tightened his grip on Ember, holding her against his chest, and broke into a sprint. He pushed forward as quickly as possible, appearing as a blur to anyone with untrained eyes.
He reached headquarters quickly, and kicked down the sturdy front door. Then he walked through as if nothing happened.
Several members tried to talk to him as he walked through the door, but he didn't hear them. His mind tuned out all of their questions, and he pushed through them. He entered the infirmary, and lay Ember down on one of the beds. "Are you alright?" he asked softly.
(Wow, I feel like my ability to post right now is at the level of like a middle schooler... so please excuse my bad grammar and elementary level sentences... >.<)

Fate was not the happiest mare when she arrived back at the organization shortly after Zero had. She had her dark ears pinned backwards as she walked into the barn, letting herself into her stall.
The two Assassins, James and Miheal returned about an hour later with the enemy before throwing him into one of the harsh jail cells, one he wouldn't be able to escape from easily.
Ember's eyebrows furrowed slightly as her head turning on the pillow slightly as one of the healers rushed forward, their eyes widening when they notice who was injured.
"Fuku-Taichou... what happened..."
Even as she asked the question, the female rushed around in order to begin the healing process, her hands resting about the wound... Only to have the Spirit energy within Ember to block out the healing.
"I apologize Fuku-Taichou, but it seems as if we must let her heal on her own... her Spirit energy is blocking our healing energy out.."
The woman had instead wrapped Ember's wound carefully, making sure to have it completely cleaned, including stitches to keep the wound closed..

Zero remained silent until they were finished, standing beside the doorway stiffly. Then he took a step into the room, "Alright, everyone leave. Taichou needs to sleep."
Then he stood beside her bed and leaned toward her, speaking much softer, "That means you. Sleep. Now."
He turned away from the bed and crossed his arms. "Geez... Really, how did you manage to get injured like that?" His voice was barely over that of a whisper.

All of the healers skirted out of the room, not wishing to deal with his wrath of delaying.
A small smile appeared on Ember's lips as she stayed still, only her voice able to be heard by him.
"and if i don't feel like sleeping? You wouldn't order your Taichou around now, would you."
She chuckled softly, her hand resting against where the bandages were on her stomach, making sure not to rip open any of the stitches...
