Millintica changes back to his werecat form and scratches behind his ears. "I guess there's really no point in me being like that anymore. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Anyways, I don't actually have a room, despite residing here for the past, uh has it been a week yet? I don't know, but I can show you the girl's room." He takes point, walking backwards as he leads Saito to the room. "So, I'm curious was me turning into this a big surprise? And do you think it would have been better if I had just remained as a cat, for a little while longer?"

Kami-sama stood near Ai. "For such a nice sister, sometimes you feel jealous too often." He spoke, not touching her. "In a few days, Agatha will die, her power is already wearing down greatly. Perhaps that would make you feel at ease? Your competition seeming to go away?" He seemed sarcastic, annoyed at what was going on a bit.

"You don't have to play with me you know. It seems like...Ai is being neglected." She spoke, her eyes a little more worried than usual.

Emoto glared back at Oniko, then looked at his belt,"well then... It looks as though I'll actually get a chance to test this baby out..." he walked over to where Ai was standing, then stopped next to her, looking up at her,"your mind seems.. restless.. is something bothering you?"

"Endanger myself? Saito, I'm a thief. If there's one thing I know how to do, asides from take things, it's how to keep myself safe. Although, that didn't work too well earlier unfortunately. Anyways, about the girl no, I don't know anything about her. As far as I know, she's just a kid. You think we could talk her into dropping out? Or do you think Chess would let her?"

Kami-sama looked at the belt Emoto was wearing. "So you did take such a burden on yourself. Be careful what you wish for, mortal." He walked off, his body beginning to disappear in front of them.

"She seems jealous that I...I spend so much time with you." She leaned the best she could so she didn't make him carry her weight. Mitsu was following, keeping an eye on if she needed to lean heavily.

Emoto looked at Ai,"Jesus Christ... anger management problems..." he got up and brushed the dust off,"If that's how you react to people who feel concerned about your well-being..." he shook his head, looking at Saito, and then at Milly. he sighed, put his hand on his head, and shouted towards the sky,"GOD!!! WHY THE HELL DID YOU PUT ME WITH THIS BUNCH OF IDIOTS??!!" he looked down slowly, facepalming himself as Saito continued to judge Milly based on a few simple words. he turned to Saito, looking pissed off,"Oi. leave the cat alone. He hasn't done anything to hurt you, and why the hell are you judging him like that? HE'S ON YOUR OWN FRIGGING TEAM!!!"

Milly motions for Emoto to quiet down with his hands. "Relax Emoto, I appreciate the concern, but I don't mind being questioned since I have nothing to hide. And it's a fair question, if you were a normal person you'd be suspicious as well, but no Captain, I have not stolen from anybody on your team. Only a fool would weaken his allies at a time like this. Although, I did very nearly take something from Little Saito a couple days ago, but then he was a member of Chess and I ended up not taking it." He shrugs and turns his crimson eyes to the psychic. "Emoto, I do not like being called an idiot, and I would much prefer it if you called me by my name, Millintica, rather than 'the cat'. Actually, have I introduced myself properly yet? Captain of the Luberia Thieves Guild First Division, Millintica Shaton. At your service." He bows and then opens the door to the girl's room. "Anyways, about the kitten, should we let her continue like this? I couldn't follow the rock earlier, of course I was in cat form then, but that was still incredibly fast, and I'm sure they'll only get more dangerous the closer we get to the end. And next time she might actually die."

Emoto's eyes blanked out, then he collapsed a bit to the side, steadying himself with his free leg. He managed to stand himself up, shaking off the apparent damage, which didn't even appear to be physical. Emoto felt as though a truckload of mental explosives had been set off inside his mind. he looked at the belt, and it glinted at him, almost as if something inside it was stirring. he looked at his hand, seeing that it was giving off an in-human amount of spiritual energy,"what the hell? this is..." his eyes widened as a screeching sounded in his head. he whispered to himself, occasionally grunting out in pain at the strain on his thoughts,"GRAUGH!!! ugh.. dammit.. I suddenly have an urge... an echoing urge to kill something... GNHHH!!!!" he stumbled over towards a nearby wall, leaning against it,"MMGGH!!!! this urge.. I-I have to surpress it until.. GAAAHHH!!! the fourth round of th-th-the tour... tournament.... KNNNGGG!!!"

She nodded. "It's quite alright. Go and play." She watched him go, falling back against Mitsu, unconscious after he was out of sight. After seeing her breathing wasn't like Tamao's he picked her up slowly.

"Agatha-sama...even though you want him all to yourself...you allow yourself to be without him. You've only been awake to be with him." He let his eyes shut while he walked towards the room, seeing Kami-sama there. "You knew it...didn't you?" He nodded.

"She's so close, her energy won't be working well without Will power. She's getting weaker, round four may be the last time...anyone sees her."

Milly takes a step away from Emoto and activates the ARM. "I suppose you're right, but are you sure about me fighting? I mean Emoto looks pretty stoked about it." Amongst other things. "Maybe we should just let him take care of it all by his onesie." He tosses the ARM back to Saito. "You wanna have a quick sparring session or just the catnaps?"

Hei got up, seeing that Agatha was sleeping again. He got up slowly, letting the pawns help him up. "Agatha-sama isn't happy." One of them said, noting that her head was currently in Kami-sama's chest area. "I guess she's still letting her comfort be sacrificed...a day or two before she dies..." Hei closed his eyes and slowly placed a hand to Agatha's head.

"That wouldn't be odd behavior for her after all..."

"You're not enthusiastic either. Come on, let's play." He stretches and rubs his hand up and down his side. He closes the door to the girl's room, locking it from the outside and then leads Saito to the garden. If Milly had been any taller he would have gotten a face full of shovel as he entered the garden. "Oh, its you two." The gardener hefts the shovel over his shoulder and goes back to planting trees. "Ehehe, is there anywhere we could spar for a bit?" "The maze is still a mess from the last time you were here. You can go ahead and use that." "Sorry about that, but thanks a lot." Milly hops up and down several times and moves into the maze, putting some distance between himself and Saito.

Rachel was sitting atop a pile of dirt in the corner to the left of Milly and Saito. She slides her mask back on at Saito's appearance. Why's Millintica here? And why'd he bring that guy? She pulls her cloak tight around her, looking down at it she now regrets not putting on a new one after what happened with Lilith last night. She had been extremely displeased, to say the least, at Garnet's refusal, and Rachel had been the only one around for her to take it out on. Although she had been able to avoid getting cut up, for the most part, her cloak had not fared so well and her mask now has a large gash making it look even more sinister.

The area around the castle began to be unnaturally calm, as if something had started to seep into the very air they breathed. As if in response, Tamao and many other reflections began to feel even colder. Their bodies started to turn silver, their skin even colder to the touch than before.

Milly sighs, "I didn't mean to, its really all Garnet's fault. He was bothering Rachel, I had to do something, and on top of that he makes people think that anybody with ears like ours is little more than a beast." He finally notices Rachel's presence. "Speaking of Rachel. HEY!"

She rolls her eyes behind the mask, but waves weakly to him and nods her head slowly.
