Chapter 12 - Part XII

The morning came and light shined in Amayori's face and she woke up. She noticed Yukinari wasn't besides her. "Yuki?" Amayori said softly. Amayori looked over and saw Yukinari on the floor getting up. "Looks like I fell out of bed." Yukinari said, her hair in a mess. Just then a knock came at the door. "Que!" Yukinari slightly yelled. Yukinari opened the door at saw Seiya at the door. "Well we're here for 1 and 2 fix your hair you look like a hot mess." Seiya said going down the stairs. Yukinari rolled her eyes. "Mm~ hot huh?" Yukinari said with a cheeky smile, directing her voice to the stair so Seiya could hear. "It wasn't a compliment!" Seiya yelled back, coming from downstairs. Yukinari came down the stairs. "Amayori's in the shower." Yukinari said, looking at everyone.

Amayori's singing voice can be heard from upstairs. "Seriously one of you needs to claim her. Yukinari said, shaking her head." Then Amayori came from downstairs dressed and her hair in a high ponytail.

Everyone gathered around a round table. "So, how are we going to get this orb?" Tamaki asked the group. "We're all in this together right? Akio, she needs to defend herself." Yukinari said looking at Ryu. "Give her a blaster." Seiya said monochromatic. "No blasters!" Ryu shouted. "And gauntlets are too heavy for her." Yashiro said looking at Seiya's gauntlets. "No gauntlets either!" Ryu added. "Just make her a shield." Tamaki said leaning back crossing his arms. Ryu started thinking and wrote stuff down. "All that for a shield?" Tamaki said looking over. Amayori grabbed the list of items and walked out the ship grabbing her dagger.

"She's crazy." Yashiro said with his mouth open. "But that's why we love her." Yukinari said getting up from the couch. "She's going to die out there." Seiya said facepalming. "Nah she'll make it... I hope." Yukinari said leaning on a wall crossing her arms. "I'm hungry." Yashiro mumbled. "We should go out to eat!" Ryu blurted out. The gang glared at Ryu. "What?" Ryu said confused.

Yukinari tried to find words but was in disbelief. "I'm just gonna make breakfast." Yukinari said pointing to the kitchen. "We're going to be broke if you guys keep on wanting to eat out everywhere all the time." Yukinari said under her breath. "I'm surprised Akio is still sleeping." Yashiro said looking at Ryu. "Please, she can sleep through anything." Ryu said, looking at the stairs.

After some time Amayori came back with a large bag of supplies. Akio came downstairs and breakfast was ready. Ryu ate quickly. "The workshop is downstairs." Seiya said looking at Ryu. "Thanks man!" Ryu said with a wide smile, taking the large bag of supplies downstairs. Time passed and Amayori cleaned up, Yukinari washed the dishes, Tamaki was strumming notes, Seiya took a nap then woke up and Yashiro was chewing gum.

"Finally I'm done!" Ryu said, coming upstairs. Ryu kneeled down to Akio. "Akio this is a headpiece, it's a locator, map and I put music in it too." Ryu said giving her the headpiece. "This is your communicator. If we call, answer okay? This part is for the communicator and this part is a shield." Ryu said demonstrating the blue shield giving her the bracelet. "And these," Ryu said bringing out two small blasters. "These are dual blasters. This one is sleep. You use this one to send the enemy to sleep and run! This one is paralysis. Use this one to paralyze the enemy and run. Unless you have to, these are paintballs. These are only for emergencies, these are not toys. And these are bubbles." Ryu said to Akio, showing her the different modes. "What do the bubbles do?" Tamaki asked. "Nothing. How else am I going to entertain her?" "I can't believe you gave her a blaster." Yashiro said and smiled. "Let's head out." Amayori said. "That's my line!" Seiya yelled.
