Vanyel: *just coming out of the stables from having taken care of Yfandes, looks up at the sky* [Been a long time since I've seen a sky that dark....]

Naruto: *lands not too far away from Vanyel, on his back*

??: *a portal opens letting a body roll through on the Front Circle Drive, skidding through the gravel, yelp muffled by the racing helmet*'

Vanyel: *turns and raises an eyebrow at Naruto*

Naruto: *panting softly* Aw, damn...I was close. *rolls so he's up on his feet and looks around* Where'd that pervert go?

Vanyel: I imagine he's in your own world. *calmly*

Naruto: *spots Vanyel and grins* Sorry. *laughs* I was trying to catch this stupid perverted guy who's supposed to be my teacher now.

??: *gets up stifly and claws the helmet free letting it drop to the gravel, as he shakes his head trying to clear it*

Vanyel: I'm afraid I won't be much help with that, though I doubt he's here. But if you'll excuse me... *bows deeply and heads back for the Inne*

Juraviel: *sits on the edge of the fountain found near the Front Drive, and calls out calmly* Is everything where it should be, or did that tumble rattle you?

Naruto: Kay! *waves at Vanyel's back and sits down* Hmm...

??: *spins about at the voice, eyes not focusing on the elf properly* Think so... think I hit the tarmac hard enough to knock myself into a round of hallucinations though... *kicks at the gravel*

Juraviel: *laughs softly* The gravel you hit is no hallucination... safe to say that I am not, either. *slides off the edge of the fountain to approach ??*

??: *rubs the back of his head* Yeah... so you say... but man, this just isn't right.

Juraviel: What is right, then, if a place like this is not? *cants his head to the side and crosses his arms, an amused look on his face*

Naruto: Hmm...I checked there....I know, when I get back I'll go to the monument! *grins broadly and jumps up*

Vanyel: *enters the Inne and heads back to his room, thoughtful and quiet*

Rion: *appears in the kitchen, spalttered from head to toe in a purplish substance*

??: Where's the track? I was at the Tsukaba track... we were testing one of the new bikes. This isn't right.

Kenshin: *fades into existance out in the Garden, looking around perplexed for a moment*

Naruto: *bounces a bit as he wanders through the garden*

Kenshin: *smiles a hint as he realizes where he is* [There are worse places....]

Rion: *looks down at himself and sighs* God, I'm a mess. *looks around a bit, and spies the sink and gratefully makes his way over to it*

Vanyel: *reaches his room, opening the door with a negligent wave of his hand and a slight push of power, entering and closing it behind him*

Juraviel: The track is where you left it, and the bike is as well... and if it is not right, then it must be wrong, which I assure you it is not. *chuckles*

Naruto: *finds his way to the maze* Oooohhh...this looks fun...*grins*

**a brindle dog with mixed colored eyes starts stalking Naruto**

Robinton: *sits in one of the chairs in the room, having pulled it closer to the window and looks pensively out at the darkened sky, scarcely noticing Van's entry*

Rion: *peels off his clothes dropping them into the sink, before running water over them as he hunts down a towel in all his nude glory*

Vanyel: *leans against the closed door, debating on whether or not to speak*

Naruto: *heads into the maze, curious*

??: Fuck... no that's not right... I've got to have fuckin' cracked my head open... *reaches for the helmet he let drop*

Kenshin: *Finds a comfortable place to sit out in the garden and leans against a tree, staring up at the dark sky* Perhaps it will rain.

Hawk: *wakes with a soft snort, dreams of demons and darkness receding as he curls closer to the warm chest he's half resting on*

Shane: *feels the body next to his shift, and tightens his arms around Hawk, pulling him closer*

Dog: *continues his careful stalking eyes narrowed warily*

Robinton: *gives a soft, wistful sigh, reaching down for the glass of red wine he'd set beside him* Why so silent, dear one?

Naruto: *continues further into the maze, giggling a bit* This place is kinda weird...

Vanyel: I had no desire to disturb you, Teacher-mine.

Hawk: *relaxes in the embrace with a relieved sigh and nuzzles Shane's chest*

Shane: *makes a soft, sleepy sound at the nuzzle*

Dog: *wags his tail upon those words, a doggie grin on his stalking features*

Rion: *finds a dishtowel and heads back to the sink to soap up*

Hawk: *quietly* Good morning, Shane...

Juraviel: Surely not, Rei Kashino, your head is intact... you have simply been displaced. It is not so wrong a thing if you think about it, really.

Naruto: *takes a left and heads down another path, not keeping track of where he's going*

Shane: *stirrs a little* Five more minutes, Sarge... *mumbled, speech slightly slurred*

Rei: *frowns* What the hell? Who.. *blinks as he gets a good look at Juraviel* What? That's impossible.

Robinton: Disturb me? You should know by now it is impossible for you to do such a thing. *smiles a bit, motioning Van over*

Vanyel: *approaches the chair quietly, kneeling down in front of it and laying his head against Rob's leg*

Dog: *sits down promptly as Naruto heads down a dead end trail*

Hawk: *nips the firm muscles* Not bloody likely.

Naruto: *blinks as he sees a wall and looks around for an exit* Huh? What happened?

Juraviel: *laughs merrily, waving a hand nonchalantly* Impossible, wrong... you say such things, though it is very plain that neither are the truth. For you are here, as am I.

Dog: *snorts*

Rei: Okay, I'll bite... where is here?

Naruto: *turns around and spots the dog and goes over to it* ...Where did you come from?

Shane: *gasps at the nip, waking more* Wha? *looks over at Hawk and gives a lazy kind of smile* Morning, Rupert....

Rion: *idly brushes against nearby minds as he builds up suds* [Hmm, I wonder who's about today?]

Kenshin: *Finding no peace of mind under those dark clouds, heads into the Inne and immediately for the Meditation Room*

Dog: *looks up at Naruto, the tag on his collar naming him Pi tinkling*

Naruto: *examines the dog and pokes Pi gently*

Rion: *smiles as he feels one mind in particular and sends Kenshin a mental tap on the shoulder*

Hawk: *returns the smile with a content one of his own* Well, at least that's a bit more flattering than being told "5 more minutes, Sarge" *rests one hand over his lover's heart*

Kenshin: *gasps as he feels that mental brush* [N-nani?]

Shane: *blinks* I said that? *lets one of his hands rest on Hawk's*

Pi: *hops back at the poking, giving a disdainful yip*

Rion: *lifts his collar so he can wash under it* /Hello, Kenshin. It's Rion./

Hawk: *chuckles* You did indeed.

Naruto: *giggles and pats Pi on the head* You didn't bite me, so I guess that's cool. Wanna explore with me?

Pi: *wags his tail once, affirmative bark*

Robinton: *passes a gentle hand through Van's hair, still gazing outside, though his expression has brightened a bit* How is your lady, then?

Kenshin: *relaxes a little* [So it is....how do you fare?]

Shane: Odd....

Vanyel: She's well. Enjoying the respite from the Karsite Border.

Hawk: Why odd?

Naruto: *grins* Come on then! *starts walking off with Pi and takes another left*

Rion: /Fairly well over all. Would you like to join me in the kitchen? I'll make you something to eat/

Shane: I...haven't thought about the Bureau in years....well, not in any way like that....

Pi: *follows along at Naruto's heels patiently*

Juraviel: Here is the Fall Inne... as such you did only moments ago. *smiles up at Rei* I am Juraviel, sent to welcome you here.

Hawk: *gently carresses the skin under his fingers* Is it a bad thing then?

Kenshin: [I'm not terribly hungry, thank you....Although if you'd care to visit, I thought I would make my way to the Meditation Room....]

Naruto: *grins, looking around and takes another turn*

Shane: I suppose not.... *smiles a bit* I miss it sometimes.

Robinton: *nods* I would imagine so... if she's been worked as hard as you have... *drains a bit of his glass and sets it down once more, tracing the silvered bits in Van's hair with a finger*

Rei: *skeptical twitch to his left eye* Okay... Nice to meet you, Juraviel... why a welcome committee then?

Vanyel: She works harder than I do, most times. *closes his eyes at the touch*

Rion: /I'd love too. Are you certain you don't want anything?/ *finishes up his sponge bath and looks over his body critically, feeling only marginally cleaner*

Hawk: *looks at Shane's face critically* I understand... You sure it's okay though... not unhappy thoughts?

Juraviel: *makes a motion for Rei to follow him as he starts heading off towards the Inne* Would you have truly wished to find yourself here with no one about to explain your predicament?

Kenshin: [This one is quite certain.]

Pi: *follows along stopping at the junction when Naruto heads back down another dead end*

Rei: Umm... I rather not find myself in Oz at all...

Naruto: *notices Pi stopping* Huh, what's wrong? *goes back and crouches down beside Pi*

Shane: About as okay as I ever am thinking about the past. *makes a dismissive gesture* But don't mind me. I just dreamt of things that have left me thoughtful.

Pi: *gets up and backs up two steps down the appropriate path*

Rion: /All right. I'll be along shortly/ *squeezes out his clothes and drapes them over his arm before heading out of the kitchen, pausing in the hall to remember his way*

Naruto: Okay...*follows along Pi's idea*

Hawk: *softly nuzzles Shane* Do you want to talk about them?

Kenshin: *enters the Meditation Room, removing his shoes at the door, and settles in his accustomed spot*

Pi: *lets Naruto wander along the new path*

Naruto: *turns down another path and spots a gourd* Oh, cool, what's that? *bounces over to the gourd*

Shane: *shakes his head* No....not right now.... *softly*

Pi: *gives a warning yip*

Hawk: *nods* If you say so. Whenever you want to, I'm here for you, my lover.

Naruto: Huh? *looks back at Pi*

Robinton: *shakes his head* Hard to believe, somehow... *gently glides his fingers down Van's cheek*

Shane: *forces a smile* It's nothing....just old crap my brain shouldn't be stirring up to begin with. *hugs Hawk tightly*

Pi: *gives the same yip, sitting down, waiting to see what Naruto will do*

Vanyel: And why is that?

Hawk: *frowns* Something about that statement makes me worry a little. *returns the hug, clinging tight*

Naruto: I don't have any food...*looks at the gourd again* Hey, maybe there's something in there! *goes over and picks it up*

Shane: And why's that?

Pi: *shakes his head resignedly as Naruto picks up the hypnogourd, Well maybe the foolish mortal wouldn't look in it...*

Juraviel: *raises an eyebrow* Truly? I was under a different impression, but no matter. *smiles back at Rei* Is it truly so distasteful?

Hawk: *smiles weakly* I know what jumbles up the back of my skull that shouldn't be stirred...

Rion: /Kenshin...is it right or left at the.../ *blinks at the collection of symbols and letters* / Xanth plaque?/

Shane: *sighs* Just remembering my past reminds me of how alone I am back home in my present....

Naruto: *grins and looks inside the gourd, shaking it around a bit*

Kenshin: [Right, if you're facing the plaque.]

**the minute Naruto's eye comes into contact with the peephole all control of his body ceases as he's sucked into a bizzarre nightscape, littered with open graves*

Pi: *sighs, Stupid humans...settles down to wait as Naruto fumbles into the dream realm*

Robinton: For all you've told me of your duties... but, I should assume that where you are, your lady follows. *sighs softly, relaxing a bit more in his chair*

Rion: /Thank you/ *turns right and continues along his way* /You seem quite drawn to that room/

Naruto: Huh? *looks around at the new landscape and wanders around, curiously*

Rei: It's not real... You tell me it is but man this could be all because I cracked my skull on the track.

Kenshin: [It's soothing to me.]

Hawk: *softly* Trust me I know... I can't sleep most nights I'm home... I... *shrugs* It's just how it goes.

Vanyel: *nods* Although she enjoys more leisure here than I do. *smiles a bit* I can get from here to there in the Inne very easily, without it being necessary to ride.

Shane: *sighs* I wonder some mornings why I get up.....

** a low wind eeriely howls between the gravestones**

Juraviel: It could be... but it could be beyond your comprehension... but think it a dream if you wish, it changes little. You are here for a time.

Hawk: Same reason I do anymore... work, duty, and perhaps the chance to come here.

Rion: /I see...but don't you get bored staring at the same four walls?/

Naruto: Whoa this place is weird...*continues to wander around, avoiding the open graves*

Rei: Uh-huh, and how do I wake up out of it?

**a skeletal hand reaches out and snags at Naruto's ankle**

Kenshin: [In a meditative trance, this one actually see very little of the room...]

Naruto: *lets out a scream and throws a kunai into the hand*

Juraviel: How do you normally wake from dreams?

Rei: I don't know you just do... depends on the dream...

**hand appears unharmed, but releases it's hold as several skeletons stand up from various open graves**

Naruto: *panting from fear, arms himself with another kunai* Okay...this place is not much fun...

Rion: *finds the right door and enters* But you're always here. You rarely explore.

Shane: *nods* If it weren't for places like this, I'd have done myself in awhile ago....

Kenshin: *softly* This one has done much wandering and exploring in his time....is it truly so wrong that this one is so often here?

**the wind picks up whistling with an even more eerie melody through the skeletons as they climb out of the graves**

Naruto: *backs up slowly, taking small steps at a time*

Hawk: *stiffen a small sound in the back of his throat*

Shane: *blinks as he feels the man in his arms stiffen* Rupert?

Rion: *kneels and spreads out his clothes before walking over to take a seat beside Kenshin* I don't really understand...but then again. I've had little time to explore in my life.

**a pale, seethrough wraith-like figure starts ghosting towards Naruto, having appeared materialized from nowhere right in front of him*

Naruto: *lets out a scream and throws his kunai at it*

Kenshin: That is the difference in our perceptions, then. *nods once, seeing Rion in his peripheral vision*

Hawk: *softly* Then you would have killed me now... you'd have left me alone...

Shane: *just as softly* But you're not alone, Rupert, I'm here.

**wraith looks down puzzled at the object passing through its non-substance** Foooooolish **the word is gusted from lungs that don't exist**

Hawk: But the whim of fate is all that kept you here... *unconcsiously tightens his arms around Shane*

Robinton: *chuckles softly, still running his fingers through his lover's hair, his mind still wandering a little*

Rion: You're not hiding, are you?

Naruto: *lets out a squeak of surprise and keeps backing up*

Shane: Fate can be a fickle bitch that way...but don't worry, I don't have any plans on leaving you anytime soon, Rupert.

Juraviel: *shrugs one shoulder* Same instance here... you will return to your home when it is determined you should.

Vanyel: Fare you better today, Teacher-mine? *Softly*

Kenshin: Why would this one be hiding?

**coincidence has an empty open grave beneath the foot coming back to touch the ground**

Robinton: *just as softly* Better with you at my side, sweetling...

Vanyel: Havens be praised for that, then....

Hawk: *trembles a little, not letting go of Shane in the slightest*

Shane: *runs a hand gently into Hawk's hair* Talk to me..... *softly*

Naruto: *stumbles and falls into the open grave with a cry*

Rei: But... but... Aww, hell. *shoulders slump in defeat, conceeding that he is indeed stuck for the time being*

Rion: *lays back and cradles his head on his hands* I don't know...but sometimes people hide for illogical reasons.

Kenshin: That's true, it has been known to happen.

Hawk: To lose everyone in my life... I can feel it... I don't want it... yet another demon...*frowns intensely and tilts his head down away from Shane's gaze*

Shane: *reaches down tilts Hawk's face up until he can meet the other man's eye* I'm not going to leave you, Rupert, I swear it.

**wraith figure comes to hover over the open grave, shaking its head at the youth's discomfort** Very fooolissshhh, toooo curiooouussss... **

Robinton: *nods a bit* I shall fare much better once I have spoken to them, however... *reclaims his glass a moment, frowning a little when he finds it empty*

Naruto: *throws a shuriken up at the figure*

Vanyel: All in its own time. *softly*

Rion: *closes his eyes and nods* /Tell me more about yourself, Kenshin. We never did finish our conversation/

Kenshin: *quietly* What would you like to know?

Hawk: *meets the gaze searching it intently looking for the truth of the words* Swear it on my life...

Juraviel: *tsks and flutters his wings a bit impatiently* You still object to be given a place of respite, young one?

Shane: On your life, my life, and on everything we both hold sacred, Rupert, I swear I won't leave you.

**shuriken passes through the wraith as well, to be caught in the tiny claws of a bat that swoops down for that purpose that squeaks disapprovingly, hovering to drop it back into Naruto's lap**

Robinton: A time I pray comes quickly. *voice drops a little* It weighs heavy on my mind...

Vanyel: I wish I was better aid to you, ke'chara.

Naruto: *catches the shuriken, looking a bit pale* What do you want?!

Rei: What do I need respite from? Reality is still reality... no matter how much time I spend in Oz.

Juraviel: And Oz is not a reality?

Rion: *opens his eyes again and reaches out to pull Kenshin to lay beside him*

Robinton: *shakes his head slowly* Do not say such things, Vanyel, your presence is more aid than you think...

Pi: *hops up from where he's setting having gotten a none too sweet request from the Lord of the Dream Realm to *DO SOMETHING*, and paws the gourd away to break Naruto's gaze and free him from the spell*

Hawk: *relaxes again, shifting to press his lips to Shane's firmly*

Naruto: *looks dazed and realizes he's back in the maze*

Rei: No, it's all a dream...

Kenshin: *blinks and stiffens a bit as he's pulled down* Rion? *softly*

Vanyel: I shall take your word for it, then.

Shane: *gasps and moans low into that kiss*

Pi: *paws at the gourd and rolls it into the base of one of the bushes, giving another of the warning yips*

Rion: Shhh, relax. *curls against Kenshin's body* I just want to see something. I'm not trying to fuck you.

Hawk: *lets his lips linger against Shane's in a sweet embrace*

Naruto: *looks a bit spooked for a moment then breathes again* Whoa...

Kenshin: Gomen ne...this one is unaccustomed to being yanked around as such with n warning... *softly*

Shane: *relaxes completely, purring into the kiss and running a hand into Hawk's hair gently*

Pi: *glares at the human*

Juraviel: Dreams can sometimes be preferable to reality. In any case, you are here, in your dream, will you not make the best of it?

Naruto: *looks at the dog* ...What?

Hawk: *eye drifts closed as the fingers weave into the dark strands*

Rion: *lays his head against Kenshin's shoulder and inhales* /No apologies needed, Kenshin./

Rei: I suppose I will... how would I go about doing that though?

Shane: *swipes his tongue along Hawk's lips, silently asking entry*

Pi: *grumbles and turns around to trot down one of the paths*

Kenshin: *relaxes after a few moments, exhaling a soft breath*

Rion: You smell like water, have you been in the rain?

Robinton: *softly, motioning for Van to rise* Come here, dear one...

Kenshin: It looks as if it may rain outside....

Vanyel: *lifts his head silently and rises to his feet, looking at Rob curiously*

Rion: *thinks a moment, then smiles and purrs in Kenshin's ear* Want to go outside and play with me?

Kenshin: *gasps softly, eyes widening*

Robinton: *gives a soft laugh at the look on Van's face and rises, reaching out to pull the younger man against him*

Rion: *nuzzles Kenshin's throat* You may enjoy it. When's the last time you indulged?

Juraviel: *shrugs* There are many ways to enjoy one's self here... merely a matter of finding them. *smiles and cants his head to the side* Perhaps something familiar.

Naruto: *looks at the dog uneasily and turns back in the direction he came from before and started walking back*

Vanyel: *lets himself be pulled, settling gratefully against the Harper*

Hawk: *parts his lips with a whisper soft moan, pressing his body all along Shane's*

Kenshin: *Swallows hard* This one.... *falters* ...cannot remember.....

Rei: Oh? Such as?

Shane: *groans, tongue exploring the kiss leisurely*

Rion: *smiles* Then you should do it. Life is short, enjoy what you can.

Kenshin: Perhaps... *softly*

Pi: *grumbles as he continues into the heart of the maze*

Naruto: *heading back towards the entrance takes a wrong turn, and then another left turn*

Hikaru: *yelps and drops on Naruto, holding a magnetic goban*

Robinton: *softly* I wish nothing more than to hold you for a time...

Pi: *reaches the Maze heart, laps a drink out of the fountain and goes to curl up under the crouching Mythrimm statue*

Naruto: *falls down under Hikaru's weight* Oof. *grins at Hikaru* Hi! *hugs him*

Rion: *leans on his elbow and looks down at Kenshin* Please? It's no fun to play in the rain alone.

Hikaru: *hugs back* Hiii!

???: *is flung through a portal along with a gleaming red Harley-Davidson, both skidding along the Front Drive for a distance before coming to an abrupt stop* FUCK!

Hawk: *makes soft sounds, hands gently carressing his lover's skin anywhere he can reach*

Naruto: *cuddles to Hikaru tightly a moment*

Kenshin: *looks uncertain*

Hikaru: *giggles* Whatcha doin?

Naruto: I was walking through this maze...*grins*

Juraviel: *blinks at the abrupt arrival, and smirks a little* Oh... something to that effect, I think...

Rei: *just blinks* Well, hell...

Rion: *fees Kenshin images of splashing happily in some puddles*

Hikaru: *looks a bit paler* Maze? Aw, maaaan!

Kenshin: *chuckles* It's not raining yet, Rion.

Naruto: *giggles* I was on my way out...

Shane: *moans and presses into each of those touches, his free hand travelling lightly over Hawk's skin*

Hikaru: YOu know the way out?

Naruto: *shakes his head, giggling* Nope.

???: *Crawls out from under the bike, swearing a blue streak*

Hawk: *brings his hand to tease the skin over Shane's heartbeat, purring at the attentions he's recieving*

Vanyel: Whatever you wish, ke'chara..

Hikaru: Oh, no!

Shane: *breaks the kiss with a gasp* God, Rupert....

Naruto: It'll be okay..you're with me. *smiles* There was an evil dog...but he doesn't like me.

Hikaru: Why not? You're cool!

Naruto: *giggles* I dunno...he looked mad at me. *cuddles to Hikaru*

Rei: Dude, you okay? *heads over towards the scene of the crash*

Hikaru: Dogs are weird. *grins* Let's get outta here!

Hawk: *let's his lips nuzzle Shane's, purring low* Yes, love?

Naruto: Kay...if you get off of me. *giggles*

Rion: Then let's hit the showers and make our own rain. *runs a hand over the skin of his hip* The sponge bath didn't make me feel truly clean.

Hikaru: *grins* Carry me!

???: *pulls himself slowly to his feet, brushing debris out of an abrasion on his shoulder* I've seen worse....

Naruto: ...Okay! *giggles and stands up, holding Hikaru in his arms* Like this?

Shane: *moans softly* Don't stop....I love your touch....

Hikaru: *giggles and nods* Cool!

Kenshin: *blushes softly* You're very driven, that you are....

Naruto: *walks in the maze with Hikaru nestled in his arms* You know...you're not...light.

Rei: *frowns* Damn, but that looks pretty bad... *looks down at the elf* You got a first aid kit about?

Hikaru: It's all my ramen!

Juraviel: *hurried footsteps carry him just behind Rei, shaking his head at the second nasty spill of the day*

Naruto: *giggles* Ramen is yummy!

Hikaru: *nods* Yeah! I love it!

Naruto: Me too!

Hikaru: *giggles* Let's get some ramen!

???: *dusts off his jeans, scowling at the torn out knee on one leg, and the damage to the soft tissues beneath the ruined denim* Well shit.... *grins at Rei* Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.

Naruto: *giggles* I got some you know...some instant with me now!

Robinton: *sighs* And what do *you* wish, Vanyel, all I ever hear from your lips is your compliance with what suits me...

Hikaru: No instant stuff, let's get the real kind!

Vanyel: I have no demands. *softly*

Naruto: *giggles* Okay. I got...*fishes around in his jacket and offers a cookie to Hikaru* Will this be good for now?

Hikaru: A cookie! Awesome! *puts his goban in his lap and breaks it in half*

Hawk: *grins and lets his fingers trace the smooth planes of muscle* Whatever you want, Shane...

Naruto: *giggles and walks along the path, taking a right*

Hikaru: *shoves half of the cookie in Naruto's mouth*

Naruto: *giggles as he chews*

Rion: Let's be honest, I'm as stubborn as they come. But I would like you to join me

Rei: *shakes his head* You've got a cat's set of lives then...

Shane: *Moans softly, shivering at the touch* Anything at all?

Juraviel: *chuckles softly as he comes up beside Rei* A relief to hear that. I was given cause for concern a moment ago.

???: *shakes head* Not exactly... *shifts and hisses a little* Fuck but that stings....

Kenshin: *softly* Why?

Hikaru: *eats his own cookie, blushing a bit*

Hawk: *gives the soft lips a teasing little kiss before responding* Yes... anything, after what you've given me, you've but to name it...

Naruto: *keeps walking, holding Hikaru close as he swallows the cookie and grins* Yummy. You like it?

Shane: *murmured* Make me yours, Rupert....will you make love to me?

Hikaru: *nods and grins, blush still on his cheeks*

Rei: Dude. You're really messed up, you need to get patched up.

Naruto: *turns again and keeps walking*

Robinton: None at all? *presses a gentle kiss to the side of Van's head*

???: *takes off his hat, and glares at the dent in the metal plate on the front* No argument there....

Vanyel: None at all...

Hawk: *nods and smiles sweetly* I will.. I want to... bring it around a complete circle.

Rion: Why not?

Shane: *purrs* Yes.....

Juraviel: *sighs, digging into a pouch on his side and produces three small leaves* Press these to the abraison, and wrap it well... I have fewer herbs than you have wounds, however, so I shall direct you elsewhere for a time...

Kenshin: That's not an answer.

???: *looks at Rei* Talk you into helping me patch these bastards up?

Rei: *looks from the elf back to the stranger* Yeah... I know how bad those hurt... Makes me bless the racing suits we wear everytime I hit the tarmac.

???: Thanks. *sighs* Tarmac I can handle...but the skid I was taking....back home.... *trails off as he looks around and realizes just how much his surroundings have changed* What the hell?

Hawk: *moves to lays kisses all along Shane's collarbone* I do love you so much... I wish I were poetic enough to find words for it.

Juraviel: *near laughs, and nudges Rei, pointing out a building to the west* You will find what you need there.. *notices ???'s confusion, and *does* laugh* That was a time coming...

Shane: *moans* You're plenty good at expressing it....

???: Forgive me for being a little more concerned with hauling my carcass out from under my bike...

Robinton: *chuckles softly, and is then silent, simply remaining with his arms around the Herald*

Rei: *takes a step in the indicated direction, looking skeptically at the building* Sure... *mutters* just gets weirder and weirder...

Rion: All right...because you look nice, smell nice, are nice....and I'd love to see you soaking wet and half naked

Hawk: *moves further down to lazily lap at one of the sensitive nipples* I don't feel like I am...

Vanyel: *is silent in Rob's arms, more relaxed than he usually is*

???: *walks over to the bike, hauling it up properly and putting the kickstand down, sighing at the scuffed up paintjob* Well shit... *shakes his head and joins Rei*

Shane: *Moans low* You are...

Kenshin: *blushes darkly*

Juraviel: *shakes his head* I shall leave you both to your task... *chuckles* Perhaps I can explain the dream when the physical is no longer a concern to you.

Rei: *tone completely sympathetic* Took a beating did it... *waves at the elf* Yeah, thanks, Juraviel.

???: Yeah, and I just finished the detail work yesterday....fucking assholes.... *grumbles*

Hawk: *begins to suck lightly on the piece of flesh, hands drifting down Shane's side the touch one of worship and love*

Rei: Shit... What happened exactly? That was a mighty wicked skid you ended on. *starts toward teh building he was pointed towards*

Robinton: *glad at least for his lover's state of relaxation, and takes comfort in that fact, if nothing more, and lays his cheek against Van's hair*

Shane: *shivers happily at the gentle touch, back arching at the suckling* Oh god...damn.... *groans*

Vanyel: *sighs happily* I think... I'm grateful for the respite myself....

???: Oh, just the usual attempts by a local mob boss to try and kill me. Inconsiderate prick didn't have to get my bike involved, though.....

Rion: *smirks* You asked.

Kenshin: So this one did..... *averts his gaze*

Hawk: *fingers graze along the hipbones, heading with agonizing slowness towards a more delectible destination*

Juraviel: *shakes his head and heads back to the more wooded area of the grounds, intent on watching the building and waiting for the two to return*

Rei: Damn... I'm sorry to hear that... You into some heavy shit back home then?

Rion: *lays his head down again* You're cute when you're embrarassed

Shane: *shivers again, moaning loudly* Don't stop...please don't stop....

???: Not exactly. It's a complicated story.

Kenshin: This one shall take your word for it, that he will...

Hawk: *soft, soft growl as he grazes his teeth around the circle, letting one finger trace the vein on the underside of his lover's length*

Rei: Tell me about it then man, aparently I'm not going anywhere for the time being.

Robinton: *smiles gently* Wonderful to hear that from you, sweetling...

Shane: *cries out softly, hips rolling into that touch, straining to get more out of it*

???: Okay, I'm banged up but I'm pretty damned sure my head's in one piece....where are we?

Vanyel: *chuckles softly* My work keeps me very busy.....it's rare to have time to relax like this...

Hawk: *repeats the teasing gesture, shifting his head over to suck hungrily on the neglected nub*

Shane: *shudders and cries out again* Rupert! *threads his hand into the dark hair again*

Rion: You don't have to. I can show you easily enough.

Kenshin: O-oh? *softly*

Rei: Well, I don't really know... tell you the truth, I think it's all a dream from cracking my skull against the track.

???: I'd be inclined to believe the same if I weren't bleeding right now.... *shakes his head* Oh! Name's Terry, by the way. *Grins* Terry Bogard.

Hawk: *wraps his fingers around the hot flesh, strokes it in time with the sucking and teasing of his tongue*

Shane: *purrs* Yes....oh god, yes....Rupert.... *hips work into the stroking, the blonde's eyes falling shut*

Rei: *smiles back* Funny I can't feel a thing from that... *nods at the other man* I'm Rei Kashino.

Rion: *reaches into his medicine pouch and pulls out an elaborate electronic device* Let's see....*fiddles with it a moment, then snaps a picture* There. *turns the little computer screen to Kenshin* See?

Robinton: Then we shall have to be sure to make the most of this rarity.... *gently slides his fingertips up Van's spine*

Terry: Nice to meet you. *Smiles, before glaring at his had again and popping the dent out and plunking the cap back on his head* There, better....

Kenshin: *blinks* How...how did you do that? Is...that a camera of some kind?

Hawk: *pulls back, to slowly lap at the nipple still stroking slowly* You're addictive like this Shane... I love having all of you.

Vanyel: *purrs* Indeed....

Shane: *shivers* All yours.....love your touch, Rupert....

Rei: *laughs * Attached to the hat I see... *tugs the zipper on the racing suit down, peeling it so that it hangs off his hips* Damn but those things get hot... *pauses outside the building they were headed towards* Hmmm...

Terry: What?

Rion: It's a computer. Usually it links me to Lilia, but she's out of range here, so all it can do here is analyze stuff and take images.

Kenshin: *blinks* Com...puter?

Hawk: *blushes a little and smiles* You're very welcome to it... *glances about for the tube they'd cast aside last night*

Rei: *shrugs* Just very out of my element right now is all... *with a slight twinge of apprehension opens the door*

Shane: *already has one hand assisting Hawk's visual search, ducking a hand under the pillows to look*

Terry: Well...I don't think this place is malicious or anything....but if it makes you feel better, I've got your back.

Hawk: *growls a little, frustrated by this small hitch, but not stilling his fingers are the hard arousal he's teasing*

Shane: *gives a soft, hungry moan, then a triumphant purr as he finds the tube, pulling it out from under the pillows and holding it up for Hawk*

Rei: *falling back into his normal nonchalance* Well, whatever happens... fuck it... *nods at the older man* Thanks though, I appreciate it.

Terry: *nods and smiles* Sure.

Hawk: *reaches with his other hand eager to move this up to the next step*

Robinton: *sighs softly, a bit of a smile on his lips, and nuzzles the silken hair, his fingers not ceasing their gentle touch*

Shane: *purrs and presses the tube into Hawk's palm, the look in his eyes just as eager as Hawk is*

Rei: *slips inside the building, flicking a switch inside the door that illuminates all of the rather large builing and all of it's amazing contents*

Vanyel: *sighs contentedly at the nuzzle*

Terry: *eyes widen* Holy.....

Hawk: *takes the tube and relcuctanly leaves of torturing the hot aching flesh to slick up his fingers, brushing them across Shane's opening*

Shane: *willingly parted legs part further, encouraging the touch* Please.....

Rei: *jaw drops* It is a god damned dream... this is just... man... *eyes hungrily rake over the equipment and tools and all but drools at the rows of glistening metal and rubber covering the main of the floor*

Hawk: *eye locked on Shane's face, whispers huskily* Anything for you... *slips one digit past the tight ring of muscle*

Terry: *gives a decidedly delighted purr* This....this is the garage I'd like to have back home....

Shane: *cries out softly, hips bucking into the touch* Yes.....

Robinton: Will you always be so easy to please, dear one? Asking so little of me, and contenting yourself in my arms like this? *as he takes a few steps toward the bed*

Rei: *eyes are caught by not one but a whole series of the Ducatti bikes and moans* Yeah... I hear that.

Vanyel: I can hope so..... *softly*

Rion: *nods* A machine that can sort and store vasts amounts of information. Think of it as a super glorified computer/calculator

Hawk: *smiles warmly* You're beautiful, Shane... *works the first finger in long teasing movements for several minutes before adding the second*

Terry: *finds himself examining the rather extensive series of HDs, grinning*

Kenshin: *blinks*

Robinton: Why do you hope that? *lets his arms slip from around Van, instead finding the Herald's hands and pulling him along gently*

Shane: *breath hitches as he's stretched a little, the sound melting into a moan* Only with you....

Rion: Hmmm....okay...picture a library.

Kenshin: *nods*

Vanyel: *softly* Because the day I stop appreciating simple comforts is the day I've become to spoiled to be worthy of you.

Rei: *pauses before one of the racing models and begins to go over it, going over the mental checklist of comparision to the Honda Works bike he's riding currently* Man... she's sweet... *carresses the curve of the tank*

Terry: *is currently looking over a highly customized HD, running his fingertips lightly over the leather seat* Yeah....

Hawk: *kisses over Shane's heart, scissoring the fingers apart preparing to add the third* Then show me how beautiful we can be together...

Shane: *shivers, hips still working into that touch* God....soon, Rupert, please....

Rion: Now...imagine you could find any page, in any book, in a matter of seconds just by pressing a button. That's sort of what a computer does.

Rei: *dazed pulls his attention from the bike* No...dude... we should be getting you patched up... *eyes keep flicking back to the racer*

Kenshin: *eyes widen as his mind wraps around the concept*

Terry: *gives a soft sigh* Yeah...you're probably right.... *reluctantly walks away from the bike*

Hawk: *groans, slipping in the third digit working them in the tight heat* Yes... Mother of God, yes... I need you... want to love you so...

Shane: *softly* I can't wait...I need you so much....Want to feel whole...make me feel whole....

Rei: *blinks as he looks around the shop portion of the garage until he find the first aid kit*

Robinton: Desiring something and appreciating simple things are quite different, though, Vanyel.. *takes a seat on the edge of the bed, releasing his lover's hands*

Vanyel: *sits on the bed beside his lover* Perhaps....

Terry: *has resumed his work brushing some of the larger bits of debris from his injuries*

Hawk: *pants softly* I ache for you... might I have you now? *tone is the young prince's*

Shane: Yes....Rupert, please......take me....make me yours.... *whispered back*

Robinton: *chuckles softly as he lays back* Forgive me, I'm not making much sense at the moment, am I? I suppose I should be glad you desire so little... though I doubt you could ever be unworthy of me...

Rei: *pops is open, raising an eyebrow please at how thorough the dream is* okay let's see about patching you up then.

Vanyel: *smiles gently, but says nothing*

Terry: *nods and walks over to where Rei is* Yeah, okay.

Hawk: *lets his fingers slip free adding the slick gel to his own arousal, moaning softly as he positions himself between Shane's thighs*

Rion: *smiles* Cool as hell, huh?

Shane: *looks up and lets his intense gaze fix on Hawk's eye* Please....

Kenshin: *softly* Amazing.

Robinton: *closes his eyes and sighs softly, reaching out to feather a touch down Van's arm*

Rei: Think you should take these off... *tugs on the other man's vest* Gonna be messy enough as is.

Vanyel: *exhales a soft breath, a soft moan on his lips at the touch*

Hawk: *matches the gaze, pressing against the hidden opening* For you... anything....*begins the slow press in*

Terry: Just the vest, or the shirt too? *as he flips his hat off and sets his aside*

Shane: *Groans low* Yesss....

Robinton: *leans up a moment, one arm sliding around Vanyel's waist and drawing him down to the bed beside him* There, now...

Hikaru: *looks around* This looks all the saaaaaame!

Naruto: *nods, cuddling Hikaru to him, grinning* I know...*giggles*

Hikaru: *flops in his arms, going limp and groaning*

Naruto: *stops* What's wrong Hika?

HIkaru: Mazes suck! *flops more*

Naruto: *giggles and sets Hikaru down gently* Let's rest then.

Hikaru: Okaaaaay.

Naruto: *giggles and sits down next to him*

Hikaru: *leans on him, blushing again*

Naruto: *giggles and slides his arms around Hikaru*

Hikaru: *looks up at him*

Naruto: *looks at him, grinning* What?

Hikaru: *shakes his head and blushes* Nothiiiing....

Naruto: *giggles* Liar!

Hikaru: *blushes more* Naaaaahhhhh....

Naruto: *giggles and cuddles to him* Tell me?

Hikaru: *nods some* Well... you seem so familiar to me... and.... I had... a really... really crazy dream last night....

Naruto: A dream?

Hiakru: Yeah.....

Naruto: What kinda dream?

Hikaru: *blushes heavily*

Naruto: *giggles and cuddles Hikaru close* Tell me?

Hikaru: It was... very... um.... personal?

Naruto: Ooooh...tell me!

Hikaru: *blushes heavily and whispers a few things into his hear very quietly*

Naruto: *blushes too, listening with a nervous giggle*

Hikaru: S-see?

Naruto: Yeah...*blushes* You seem familiar too...do you think we really could have...d-done that?

Hikaru: *blushes* I... I dunno...

Naruto: *giggles nervously*

HIkaru: *looks at him with a blush* Well... th-the last part of that dream... had us... saying... *blushes and mumbles*

Naruto: *blushes darkly, catching that with his good hearing* R-Really?

Hikaru: *nods and blushes* Y-yeah....

Naruto: *softly* Do you...uh...think it means something? *blushes darkly*

Hikaru: I... I dunno... but I think i-it might...

Naruto: Like...like what?

Hikaru: W-well I think that's w-why we think we kn-know eachother.... *looks up at him*

Naruto: *blushes* Y-You think we...uh...did things like that...at some, uh, time?

Hikaru: *blushes and nods* Would explain things....

Naruto: Let...uh...let me try this...*blushes a bit and leans in to capture Hikaru's lips in kiss*

Hikaru: *closes his eyes and leans into the kiss, feeling it to be familiar*

Naruto: *parts a few moments later, his own eyes closed, panting softly*

Hikaru: *blushes* W-was that good?

Naruto: Yeah...very good...*blushes a bit and grins* You know...I uh...feel like we've done that before.

Hikaru: *nods* I... I know... *looks up and gives a weak grin* Wanna do it again?

Naruto: *giggles and leans in for another kiss, tightening his hug around Hikaru's midsection*

Hikaru: *leans in and locks lips with him, giggling into the kiss and wrapping his arms around Naruto's shoulders*

Naruto: *breaks the kiss for air, staying just as close to Hikaru* Do...uh...do you feel like...*blushes* what we said in your dream?

Hikaru: *blushes and nods a bit*

Naruto: Yeah...me too. *smiles a bit and kisses Hikaru gently and leans in to his ear and whispers* I feel...like I love you.

Hikaru: *shivers and blushes* I feel like... like I love you too. *whispers back*

Naruto: *giggles nervously and just cuddles close*

Hikaru: *snuggles*

Naruto: *kisses along his jawline and neck softly*

Hikaru: *lets out a little whimper, clinging*

Naruto: *smiles and continues the soft trail of kisses along the front of his neck*

Hikaru: *groans* Naru-chaaan.....

Naruto: Yeah? *sucks gently at the base of Hikaru's neck*

Hikaru: *squirms* M-more...

Naruto: *giggles* Alright. *slides his hands up Hikaru's shirt, gently carressing his chest and stomach as he kisses, moving down to kiss his stomach as he pushes Hikaru's shirt off*

Hikaru: *gasps softly and tugs at Naruto's shirt*

Naruto: *giggles and unzips and slides his jacket off to help Hikaru as he kisses along the teen's stomach and chest* Was it like this? *laps at a nipple gently*

Hikaru: *moans and nods* Y-yes.... *arches his back*

Naruto: *kisses and laps at Hikaru's chest as he removes his weapons pouches and pulls off his shirt*

Hikaru: *moves up a bit and pulls Naruto's pants slowly down, starting to run his hands lightly and teasingly over the other's thighs*

Naruto: *moans and undoes Hikaru's pants*

Hikaru: *giggles a little and pushes him back some* My turn. *pulls Naruto's pants fully off*

Naruto: *giggles and falls back, letting Hikaru take over atop him*

Hikaru: *kisses him and moves his hands around, giggling some to himself*

Naruto: *moans and kisses Hikaru back* That feels nice Hika.

Hikaru: *giggles* Good. *kisses his way down Naru's chest, nipping lightly*

Naruto: *moans again, loudly*

Hikaru: *giggles and pulls off Naru's boxers* Wow... you are big... *giggles more, blushing*

Naruto: *blushes and giggles* Naaaahhh.

Hikaru: Yeah... *giggles more and kisses the tip, then pulls his own pants down*

Naruto: *giggles and smiles at Hikaru*

Hikaru: *giggles then lays back* Your turn!

Naruto: *pounces and kisses him deeply* Hmm...I think I've got some cream...you wanna do this?

Hikaru: *blushes and giggles, nodding*

Naruto: *giggles and digs into one of his pouches, getting some hand cream and applies it liberally to a finger* Relax, kay? *kisses Hikaru deeply again, gently easing in the finger*

Hikaru: *gasps, but arches his back, kissing Naruto deeply*

Naruto: *moves to kissing his neck* Tell me if it hurts.

Hikaru: *nods and groans* I will....

Naruto: *continues, smiling and then eases in the second finger, working them around inside his lover*

Hikaru: *gasps again, squirming a little*

Naruto: *nips gently at the junction between Hikaru's shoulder and neck as he slowly adds the third*

Hikaru: *whines a little* Owie....

Naruto: *in his ear* I'm sorry...It'll feel better soon. *gently pushes his fingers deeper inside him*

Hikaru: *cries out differently as his prostate is hit* Naru-chan!

Naruto: *giggles softly and does it again*

Hikaru: *pants softly, back arched* P-please, Naru-chan....

Naruto: *slides his fingers back out and prepares his erection* Are you ready, Hika-chan?

Hikaru: *nods and lets out a soft, impatient whimper*

Naruto: *slowly eases inside his lover, moaning as he slides deep within him as slow as he can*

Hikaru: *winces a bit, but groans anyway*

Naruto: *waits once he's burried within Hikaru* Are you okay?

Hikaru: *nods a bit, eyes shut tight* Wait a minute?

Naruto: Yes, of course. *kisses at his neck gently as he waits, giving him time to adjust*

Hikaru: *nods a little groaning* Okay...

Naruto: *starts moving slowly, moaning*

Hikaru: *still winces, but moves with him, the pain starting to ebb*

Naruto: *moves slowly and deeply, hoping to please his lover*

Hikaru: *soon cries out and arches his back again, moaning loudly* Ah! Faster!

Naruto: *kisses his lips gently before following his lover's request by speeding up the pace*

Hikaru: *moves with him, eyes closed as he moans*

Naruto: *his own moans escalate as he moves faster and deeper within his lover*

Hikaru: *lasts not much longer, soon crying out as he climaxes*

Naruto: *thrusts a few more times before his own climax hits him, a loud cry escaping his throat as he clings tightly to Hikaru*

Hikaru: *holds on tightly, panting heavily*

Naruto: *lets out some soft moans as he cuddles close, gently pulling out of Hikaru*

Hikaru: *snuggles* Hmmmm, I liked that....

Naruto: Yeah...me too. *smiles, dazed-looking* Felt good...

Hikaru: *nods and snuggles* I like being with you... *kisses him softly*

Naruto: *kisses back* I like being with you too...and I...*leans down and whispers at his ear* I think I do love you.

Hikaru: *snuggles* Me too. I love you, Naru-chan.

Naruto: *blushes and kisses as he snuggles, closing his eyes* Thanks,Hika-chan.

Hikaru: Thanks to you too, Naru-chan. *soon falls asleep*

Naruto: *also falls asleep, snuggled to Hikaru*
