Chapter 29

The three ran out into right light, and imediately covered their eyes as yet more bright light was aimed at them in the form of powerful spotlights.
"Ah!!" Deli cried, shielding her face.
"Okay.... bright..." Reno muttered, eyes squinched shut. Cherry stood with one hand blocking the brightness, silent, unmoving, listening.
"Well well well. What do we have here, eh? A catch of three little mice, mm?" A voice called, feminine, dangeruos, and acidic. "And how did those mice end up in our tunnels, mm?" The voice asked.
"We found the passage, of course." Cherry answered. "Or, actually... Deli found it." She said, and there was a murmur around the room. The murmur echoed. It was a BIG room, lots of people. Whispers circulated.
"Deli...?"
"...Dark Streaks..."
"...Redhead must be...."
"Ya think?"
"That's Reno......"
"... tatoos..."
"Dangerous..."
"...needle daggers..."
"QUIEEEEET!!!" The first voice shouted. Silence fell immediately. "Alright then. If you really ARE the Dark Streaks, then, dear Cherry, Deli, Reno, you'll have absolutely no problem with what will happen next. Achas, GO!!!" The voice shouted, and the sound of knives whizzing through the air filled the room.
The three sprang into action, Cherry jumping straight up, Reno vaulting her into the air then tumbling out of the way, rolling into a ball and rolling out of the spotlights. Deli simply took a step to the right, and then bent back.
Daggers whizzed into the spots they'd all been standing.
Not a singe one of them had a scratch on the.
Cherry landed, pulling a dagger delicately out of the sandstone floor. "Well then... Do you doubt us now?" She asked, and turned to face the direction the voice had come from. Her eyes were closed. Deli turned as well. So were hers. eno sat up, rubbing his head, blinked briefly, and sighed. His eyes had been closed as well, though.
"..." Silence. Then the spotlights flipped off, and the three opened their eyes again. "Well. That was exceptional." The female voice said, lone clapping coming from a platform high up. A woman wearing a tight dress similar to Cherry's, but a blood red, with her whole outfit themed red, leapt from the balcony. She dropped at least four stories, and landed easily, silent. "I suppose you are Cherry..." She muttered, green eyes flashing as she wakled up to the silent leader of the Dark Streaks. "...Or should I say Chakaze...?" She whispered, eyes narrowing knowingly, but not badly. Almost in a friendly manner. She got no reaction at all.
An arrow whizzed out of the shadows, and Cherry cought it an inch away from her temple. "Excuse me, that was rather impolite. I shall return this to you anyway." She snapped, and spun, wrist snapping, the arrow shooting back the way it had come. There was a gurgle, and a man with the arrow embeded in his neck fell into the light.
Total silence.

Hey Dark! Have you been readin'? Read an' see! I'm PREEETTY sure I got it right!

Chapter 30

Venia sighed, examining her shirt. "Well... it'll have to do." She said, tossing th makeshift needle away. Tamishi blinked at it.
"...I dunno, it's pretty... not pretty."
The shirt was jaggedly sewn up the front, not very well, either. Venia and Tamishi grimaced in unison.
"Okay, it's horrible. But it's the best I can do." Venia mumbled, pulling it back on. "Let's get outta here." She said, helping Tamishi to her feet. Tam nodded.
"Yeah, let's. I have revenge to take." She said, grinning.
"Hurt Dentro and you die."
"Not him! ... You DOOOOOOO like hiiiiiiiiim!"
"Shaddup!"
WHUMP!
"Oooowwww!"
"Serves you right, Tam."
"You didn't have to DROP me!"
"Yes I did."
And so it went as they headed back to Dentro.

Dentro heard chattering, then the chattering became the two girl's voices as they came back. He stood up, and sure enough, Venia came into view with her shirt sloppily sewn up, supporting Tamishi, who was poking Venia in the head. Dentro sweat dropped as Venia bit Tamishi's finger, making the Wolverine yelp loudly. "Girls." He said, and the two looked at him, Tam's finger still being bitten. "...Uhhh.... Stop fighting?" He suggested, and they did.
Venia still didn't let go of Tam's finger.
Tamishi looked at her and she looked back. "...Let go of my finger." The Wolverine said. Venia shook her head, making Tam wince. "Um... Please?" She asked. The Tiger let go, grinning cheekily, and let go of Tamishi, who stumlbed over to a tree.
"Never let a Tiger bite you." She said.
"Hate youuu!"
"Hate you too."
Dentro facepalmed, as that was the only thing he could do.

(Friends already. Yeah, short chapter. It's kinda just a bit of randomness as I try to think of a name for the girl who showed up in the last chapter. )

Chapter 31

"Well! THAT was VERY good. Not many can return an arrow without a bow, but then again, you ARE Cherry..." The woman said, and smiled in a friendly manner. There was an undertone of dislike, though... "In any case, why are you here?" She asked, and snapped her fingers. The crowd dispersed, vanishing through near invisible passages behind the standing people. Those who had thrown knives came down one by one and plucked them out of the sandstone. Cherry handed the knife she had picked up to the respective thrower, who winked at her. She managed to refrain from kicking him where it hurts.
"We wish to join you." She stated instead, as Reno and Deli flanked her again, Deli flipping a needle dagger over and over out of boredom, the steel blade flashing in the faint light...
"Ah! Welcome, then. It would be an honor to have you three in our force." The woman smiled, but it was even more hateful this time, not at all honored. "I am Nevarith. You may call me Never. Everyone else does." She half bowed, and Cherry, Deli, and Reno all full bowed back.
"We thank you for the greeting, although it really would be better to ask people why they're here first, and try to kil them second." Deli said, and Reno snickered. Cherry ignored them both.
"Interesting name. In any case, now that we're here, I suppose I should tell you what drew us here. We heard rumors floating around that there were Wild Melders..?" She said quietly. Never nodded. "Correct." "May we meet them?" "Of course. Follow me." And Never led the way deeper into the catacomb maze......
