A Sweet Reunion

Character(s): Ash, Yoruichi, Marona
Content: Ash continues to search for Marona around Paixao but this time gets a rather pleasant surprise, thanks to Yoruichi.
Setting: K7
Time: Late Evening
Warnings:  Other than the lame title? None.

Ash hadn’t even stopped for a mile, continuing to run down various streets in the direction that Laharl had pointed out to him. His pace may have been a little bit slower than when he had been running in search of Marona earlier but there was no less determination behind it. Despite he wanted to be fast, he had to also take into account that that any one of these buildings could be the inn. While he was hoping that the place would have some large indicator, he kept an eye out for it.

After a mile, though it seemed almost as if he had been tricked. It certainly was possible that kid had manipulated him, now that he took the time to think about it. However, it wasn’t as though his plans were any more productive than being pointed into a random direction. This was truly the only lead that he had to Marona’s location. Still, it was best to be cautious and thus he gave even more attention to his surrounds as he went further west.

He remembered the white creatures from earlier, and wondered when they would return. Nighttime usually was the time for things of darkness to roam, or at least, according to most peoples’ beliefs. Ash was no different in this case, wary of the fact that the light of day was minutes from disappearing. He wasn’t sure whether these creatures were going to reappear or not but regardless he wanted to attempt to find Marona before it was too dark. For although he, for the most part, had been wandering without direction, the fact was that when it turned dark he’d probably become even more lost than he was beforehand.

Plus, he never did like Marona to go out in the dark – so shouldn’t he set some example?

It took a moment for Marona to collect her thoughts. So far this world had surprised her with the open mindedness towards her and her phantom guardian. And now finding someone who could even see him themselves ... it was a strange thing to wrap her mind around.

She was always cautious to talk about Ash to other people. It was a something she just didn't speak about in Ivoire, but she didn't want to not reply to Yoruichi. She was being so kind to her, and she already knew Ash was a phantom... so with her largest secret out in the open and accepted with apparently little surprise, Marona could see no reason not to speak a little of her guardian.

She smiled a bit, "Hee .. No, Ash wouldn't say much, he's very careful about things ... mostly when they concern me. He's probably even more worried about me than I am about him. He worries a lot."

"Ash looks after me ... for my parents, who, well ... they're gone... That's why he's trying so hard to find me. He's like .. mm .. a guardian, but ... more than that. He's very special to me," she explained thoughtfully. Her relationship with Ash wasn't something she often thought upon. It was hard to describe in one word. He was many things to her.
