Duemi wiped tears from her eyes. Neko didn't seem upset, so Duemi figured that she she shouldn't be upset either. It didn't help though. Duemi looked at the cliff. Every one was going there, so Duemi guessed that there was someting there... With out a word Duemi morphed into her cheetah for and jumped off the cliff. She landed one her feet, morphing back into human form. She looked at little Suzume, a puzzled expression 'pon her face. "Is it just me.. Or was she A LOT older when she left..?" Duemi said, looking at Suzume. She could have SWORN she was, but maybe it was nothing...
Lyra looked apologetically at Neko before following Duemi down the cliff. Neko himself seemed fine, but she knew that Duemi wasn't doing so well. Lyra wasn't the best at solving others problems, so she wasn't looking forward to later on...
Chander looked at Terent and Jatza with a look of pure terrior on his face. He couldn't remember what he did wrong for the life of him, but it must have been very bad. And as far as he knew, all the people that where here could be other Masters of slaves... Poor Chander couldn't remember ANYTHING at all.

The portal Ouwashi had summoned up had closed up as soon as Ouwashi had disintegrated, apparently the danger had passed now... but everything couldn't end here.
Israfel looked from Darishan, to Cecil, then to Duemi, "She won't remember you all when she awakens, she's lost hundreds of years of memories so I'll suspect she'll be a bit shaken... last she remembers she was back at home." He nodded, he knew what her last memories were due to the fact he carried the memories now that Suzume had lost- he needed them for his own purposes. Israfel seemed to dissipate into the air, going into hiding untill plans could be made to assassinate Lucifer. "Oh yes, it would be best to avoid letting her find out that she's killed her parents and brother. A small child wouldn't cope well with that." Israfel's voice noted quietly.
Little Suzume's eyes tightened closed and she curled up into a small ball and yawned. Her bushy tail swished back and forth, stirring dust on the ground and to be honest... she really did look quite peaceful at the moment... one could only guess what would happen when she awakened. Her nose twitched as she mumbled something incoherent in her sleep and she curled up even tighter, tail wrapped up and over her nose. Her black ears twitched silently as her tail fluffed up. She really did look quite adorable.
Neko looked where Duemi and Lyra dissapeared to and he began edging towards the cliff, he looked down and at the long way down and decided against making his way down since he was more likely to injure himself than actually get to the cave. He called down, "Is everything okay?" He shouted as he clung to the earth, finding himself suddenly intimidated by the long way down since he had no magic to help protect himself from any damage. "Hey ra-" He looked up skywards but stopped, remembering the bird was gone, he'd been used to it's presense for the latter of his life and now it was just... strange and lonely.

"That is unfortunate..." Darishan murmured back, looking at her sleeping form. It failed to touch his heart because (1.) he was a boy and immune to the charm of small children like a certain skater I won't mention (sorry lol, inside joke there) and (2) because he was a necromancer that took apathy almost to the point of a mental illness. "We should take her up to the school. It would be better than a cave in the middle of the wilderness."
Meanwhile, Cheshire had joined the others, carefully scaling down the cliff. He noticed Terent, Chander, and Jatza with a rueful face, his eyes uncertain. The abuse that Terent was giving Chander was against his ethics... he supposed he should really help him. The elf walked over and, unable to speak anything of a more mild fashion, stepped in between the two with both his palms facing outwards, a universal sign of 'lay off'.

Cecil looked at the young Suzume and picked her up carefully, so he wouldn't wake her up and put her in his arms to be carried back safetly. He looked at Darishan, mentally concerned if he was able to make it back. He wasn't so heavy when he had to carry him off from the fight in January. "Are you alright, Darishan?" he asked him.

"I'll make it back," Darishan responded laconically, looking at the cave exit, that almost seemed to be glowing with the outside light. He had a feeling that young Suzume would be going through a lot in the next few days, so he tried to be quiet for her. No need to start her suffering early.
(Weeeee we did it! Let's all dance and throw confetti in Terent's eyes! It hurts like heck! =D *dances* Suzume is saved, Suzume is save, ye-ah, ye-ah, Suzume is saved! ^______^)

Suzume nuzzled Cecil's shoulder as she began making herself comfortable, her hand rubbed her nose, "Daddy? Is that you?" she asked, half asleep and her fuzzy ears relaxed against her head as she began wriggling slightly. Her ears twitched slightly, a reminder of her sensitive hearing and she yawned loudly before she shivvered, it was cold in the cave, of course and Suzume was all wet!
Terent looked at Cheshire and smiled, "Ah! It be okay! If ye knew all the times Reggie here 'lectrocuted me then you wouldn't be the one to defend him! I'm just jokin' with 'im! Isn't that right, Reggetar?" Terent asked as he jokingly punched Chander, who was apparently known as Reggetar as well. Smitty crawled out from Terent's hair and blinked a few times at Reggetar.
((Terent: AAAAH!!! MEH EYES!!!!!!! WHAT'S YER PROBLEM!?!?! Li-Wa: XD Niiiiice... Neko: *feels really bad at the moment because his job was to make sure nothing bad happened to Suzume*))

Cecil said nothing, but continued to walk. He wasn't her father, but her friend. Or at least, was her friend. He had helped him and he never really got to thank her...even now. It pulled at his heartstrings for some reason. Was it pity? Was it guilt? He couldn't understand what made him think such thoughts, but the fight to save Suzume was over and she was safe in his arms for now. The truth would come out sooner or later- though he hoped it'd be later so she'd be able to sleep. Cecil took off his jacket and somehow managed to get it around her so she would stay warm. Cecil was getting wet from her damp clothes, but he could care less. The last thing they all needed was a hysterical, sick, eight year old Suzume.

There was a swell of dark blue trench coat in the breeze near the group, lined in a dark red. "Truly a suspenseful battle," said Rell with an amused briskness to his tone, "don't you think, Cecil Shan?" The demon had appeared between the blink of one's eye, strolling casually next to Cecil as if they were long friends. His long dark hair was tied back at his nape, and his amethyst eyes were mockingly urbane. "Whoever is this girl in your arms? I could offer a helping hand or two," he smiled. It wasn't a very nice smile, and he held out an arm inquiringly.
Darishan said nothing, since the question was directed at Cecil. He had seen this man only once before and only briefly. That was during the battle against Renjiro and Ameratsu, and he had other things on his mind back then.

Cecil's eyes shut before rolling in his head and his black locks swaying side to side in many directions. "Don't you get tired of spying in on me, Rell?" he replied in question, obviously not enjoying the fact that he was there. His crimson eyes were set on the horizon and not the demon himself that he got to know quite well, though he was still full of obvious surprises. "And no, I don't think your assistance is needed. Knowing you Rell, you'll find some use for her to entertain your sick amusement." the boy added. He wasn't in the mood and was quite tired after all that and not many days of sleep for the last two weeks.

"Yes master...?" Reggetar guesses, hoping that was the answer he wanted. He looked at Terent, confused at him for calling him 'Reggie'. He couldn't remember much, so the name change was very confusing for him. In fact, so confusing, Reggetar wasn't even sure if Terent was still talking to him. Reggetar got up and grabbed the stuff that had fallen out of the portal. He wasn't sure how, but he knew that it was his. "Umm Master... Qua operor vos volo mihi praecessi? ((Translation: Where do I go now?))" Reggetar asked, switching into Latin at the end of his question. His mind was all jumbled, so he didn't even realize that he switched languages.
Duemi looked at little Suzume. She felt bad for her, she would be just a little girl as far as she would know when she woke up. She kinda knew how that felt... She backed up a little so she could see Neko. "You might want to came down here..." Duemi said, looking at Suzume. She knew that Neko and her where close, and he might want to know.

"I'm offended, Cecil," he said, not looking very hurt at all. Instead, his eyes narrowed slightly with malicious amusement, as if Cecil had made a delightfully challenging chess move. "You've insulted me twice in the same breath. How could you ever assume that I'd waste my time spying on you? Time is precious, after all. As for little Suzume here, I'm afraid there's very little I can do to help her," he stated with all the solemn respect in the world, all artfully fabricated for that particular act. He raised a hand and smoothed back her hair, leaning in very close so that his mouth was near her ear.
"Suzume," he lightly cooed, using a bit of magic to make sure she was awake and had enough clarity to hear him, "you have been busy, haven't you? You've murdered your family, and Cecil, part of the remaining handful of your friends who have not yet met the same fate, carries you now." The demon straightened, a blissful expression on his face.
"She deserves to know the truth after all, Cecil. So cruel of you to dam it back from her."

Cecil was angrier now then a moment ago. Why the HELL did he always have to do that? Ugh!!! "Why couldn't you go torture the other Rell right now? Or should I try and snap your umbrella in half and dump water on you." he answered with an agitated voice that was kept calm, colllected and cool- though wantign to break out and shut Rell up. Was this typical Rell, yes. Was Cecil used to it, yes. But did he actually want him there at the moment. Hell. No.
(sorry- im sending off the angry feelin' he's got. no more 'french' for me tonight)

Duemi looked at Rell with an shocked expression. She clenched her teeth and against her better judgment walked over to him and slapped him across the face. "How dare you?" Duemi hissed, though not loudly. "She's a child for christs sake!" Duemi said aghast.
Lyra looked slightly frightened. She knew who mad Duemi was. Though she always said she hated kids, Lyra knew that Duemi had a soft spot for them...

Terent laughed, "Well Reggetar! You're perfectly fine, now snap outta it before I have to go get Zephyr!" he smacked Reggetar on the back, wondering if there was any particular reason for the switching languages all the sudden.
Suzume shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed as if a blissful dream had suddenly turned for the worse and she squirmed slightly as she began awakening. Her eyes creased open and upon seeing the sunshiney face of Rell she was immediately wide awake and she tried to back away, but Cecil was there. She said absolutely nothing but her fear was easily apparent as she tried to figure out who these people were and where she was all at one time, and most importantly she wanted to figure out how to escape and so she looked towards the entrance of the cave, and she began the attempt of breaking free from Cecil, squirming in a panicked fashion. "I didn't do anything! Please! It's a mistake!!" she shouted, her mind jumping to the easiest conclusion- she was back home but found out for having magical powers and well on her way to execution. She didn't like that thought much at all. She kicked at Rell's face, it being the scariest thing around at the moment.
"What is it!?! WHAT'S GOING ON!?!?!" Neko called down, still unsure if it would be wise for him to attempt scaling a wall if he had no way of stopping a fall and no longer posessing any extraordinary abilities of strength as he had before. He had no clue of his limits anymore.

Cecil didn't let her down. He dodged her blows and let her squirm. What he wouldn't give to kick the crap outta Rell right now. He knew the demon was enjoying it too. "You're alright Suzume. Just- calm- down." he said to the fidgeting and frightened young friend of his that no longer remembered him. he wasn't going to let her go and watch her drop to her death. It wasn't an option as he kept a good, but loose grip on her.
